PROSPECTUS
FOR THE
Democratic Pioneer.

We are deslrous of extending the circula-.
ton of our paper, and in order to do 50, we
call upon all our friends for their assistance.
The county of Wyandot is yet new and buf
,hnly settled, and to keep up paper in this
place, it is necessary to make great exertlons,
and to this end we invite and call upon every
friend to lend us his aid on the present occa
sion. Will you do it! -
We have endeavored to render our paper
as interesting and worthy support as the err,
cumstances would admit, and how far we
have succeeded is for our patrons to say. Our
exertions shall not cease here, for we intend
to at least to try and print paper that Will
merit and receive living support. 1t na
difficult matter to make paper as interesting
where the support is SO very limited as it has
been here, as it might otherwise be. Then
to render the paper interesting, let US have
your support. We commenced the publica-.
ton under no very encouraging circumstances
and have kept up our paper with very great
difficulty, and now wish our friends to give u
a little more aid. ss ...s
1t is our intention to give all the latest and
most interesting news we can, miscellany
war and political. -.
The DEMOCRATIC PIONEER, 1t may
be expected while in our hands, will be free
from every thing like control by any man or
set of men other than the editor, fearing no
threats, and being free from any combination
other than the party with which it is connected
II will advocate the same doctrines that have
heretofore appeared in it, being Democratic
in every particular. ;, -
. With our position before you, we ask for
your support and aid to increase our subscrip-
+, lion. We will see in short time what can
and will be done.

CALIFORNIA GOLD FEVER.

!. The gold fever is rapidly extending over
The country. In every town, hamlet and vii
lage, the epidemic rages. The Inhabitants OF
the quiet granite village OF Ellicot,'s Mills
have even caught the fever, and several young
men there are preparing I'd emigrate' AT
Norfolk the brig Tally Ho is up for California,
and will sail shortly with freight and passen-
gers. At New York an advertisement ap-
pears in several papers for 200 respectable
yonng ladies to go to California immediately.
The jewellers of that city have formed an as
sociation, and will emigrate In body! NO
less twenty one ships are advertised at New
York to sail between this and the first of Jan
uary. A New York paper sayss
"Every twentieth person we meet in the
street is bouna California, bag and bag
gage. Seven vessels left this port one day
this week, bound for the gold region, with
some hundreds of passengers. 1t is sait
there is as much gold in California as vii

The passion for going TO California is no
confined to few reckless young men-me
Of capital are going off in droves and the bro
kers in Wall street are dropping their mer
chandze in bills TO speculate IN real dust.

who has just arrived from Panama, states
that there were six thousand persons there
when he left waiting for conveyance TO
San Francisco. This is the diff Guilty we
had feared. Undoubtedly the amo unit Is
still large new. Probably however, when
the fact becomes known that 81 large a
quantity Of passengers are waiting al
Pantma, that port will be sought by a
large number OF ships which have been
nav eating the Pacific, including some ol

can scarce doubt that the mistake to which have
alluded may suggest itself to For by this table,
appears that the avas OF treasury notes and loans for
the two years. by vi f0l 900 than 1888 900 900,
which is tie whole amount authorized by the laws of
1916 and 1Si7. And there is corresponding oil
$i,lo 900 for treasury notes redeemed to be found
the side OF expenditures.
Mr.. WEBSTER. Will the honorable senator allow me (?
Ii is perfectly correct TO state the payments made into the
treasury, independent OF treasury notes, and then the
of treasury notes issued beyond the amount OF
treasury notes redeemed. wish to ask if it be not the
plain and simple way of arriving at the expenditures of
the year, to say that so much was received in money
and so much in treasury notes, beyond the amount paid
out.
Mr.. ATHERToN. ! have said before, sir, that the
whole amount which the government could realize du-
ring the two years. from treasury notes and loans, under
the acts of 1916 and lS47, thirty three millions of
dollars
Let us examine for moment the avails of treas
ury notes and loans they appear in the Secrearys
port for the two years. and whether according to the
operation OF the treasurynoe system, has been
planned, they are correctly stated

So, Mr. President. trust it is made apparent that
there is no mistake in the report of the Secretary
the amount received and available for the present fiscal
year from treasury notes and loans.
Mr. NILES. | would inquire whether the honorable
senator assumes that the whole amount of the two
loans-hose of 1916 and 1st7-is stll,in existence j
The act OF 1916 gives the Secretary authority to issue
treasury notes to the amount OF ten millions for year
The authority is limited to one year That authority ex
PRED on the AID of July last The of lSd7 renewed
the authority, and, in addition thereto created
thority to issue twenty three millions. 1t renewed the
act Of the preceding year. so far respected the reissue
authority whatevera least since July last-no author
y, except these two amounts added together, making
twenty EIGHT millions.
Mi ArHERToN am perfectly aware Of the limitation
mentioned by the senator from Connecticut These laws
conferred the alternative power to raise the author
ized either BY treasury notes or loan Five millions Of
stock issued under the act OF 1896 This rendered
the limitation to five millions OF the treasury notes to be
reissued under that act OF no effect the general result
That result is believe. that the power under the two
acts is not reduced the senator supposes to amount
less than thirty three millions of dollars. But, sir,
have before lnmaed there is an error in the financial
statement Of the Secreays report is but u-ee TO say
that il was first discovered in the Committee on Finance,
and is due to my friend from Virginia Mr. HUNTER] to
remark that from him first came the suggestion the
nature of the mistake. II was communicated 10 the de-
parment first verbally, and afterwards ION the 25ih of
February by letter the Register Of the Treasury The
following table at shows the nature Of the error and
its amount
1t is quite evident that if we take the whole expendi-
lures of the two fiscal years and deduct from those
pendures the whole means OF the two years, aside from
treasury notes and loans, shall arrive at the whole de-
fciency supplied, and to be supplied from treasury notes
and loans Ii we then deduct from that deficiency the
whole amount of treasury notes and loans already author
lied by law for these two years. is equally evident that
we shall arrive at the deficiency tor which it IS necessary
now to provide.

= SI2,Sl4,O36 II

This agrees with the report OF the Secretary which,
according TO the supplemental letter makes the deficiency
SIS O36 27-$4 900 having been here added In my
statement for additional appropriations.
Mr. PHELPS Will the honorable senator indulge me
in one remark, merely for correct understanding OF ms
calculations understand the senator as putting down
the means that are available the form OF treasury notes
at $6 1874 55 Does not the Secretary in his report
place that item at the sum of four millions and fracsn
on the first OF December
MIR ATHERToN / have not recently looked at the
tables appended the report, and do not remember the
exact sum The senator will perceive that the diversity
in the tabular statements arises from the fact that the Ia
bles refer to different periods. The table to which the
financial statements Of the Secretary refer is made out
for the LIST of October s47 the close OF the rst quarter
OF the fiscal year That is the point OF the scai year
when asceaned expenditures and receipts end so lar as
the financial statements concerned and estimated eX
pentures and receipts Ii the honorable sen
ator will have patience, | believe that before get
through shall be able to show that there can be no
mistake in the financial statements OF the Secretary win
the exception of one which will hereafter explain, ana
which was discovered in the Committee on Finances and
that as will appear, not a mistake az to the opera
ton of the treasury note system IN ITSELF but tne oms
sion of an item which ought have been included IN eX
pcndures The item not having yet been entered on the
warrant books of the treasury, was omitted by inc clerk
who made out the table of expenditures.
Perhaps is scarcely necessary to recapuate the SUB
stance oil the preceding tabular statements.
