BIack.backs Defeat the Funding

| BILL. a
The SHERMAN funding bill passed the
Senate by a large majority. President
GRANT is in favor of il, the Secretary of
the Treasury is in favor of it, and the
Radical party, generally, is in favor of
| it.
But notwithstanding all this We have
The news from w Washington that the fund
ing billis virtually dead! What killed
lit? Not remonstrances from the peo.
pie, for the Senate heard them, and pass
ed the bill. Not arguments, for the
House has not discussed it at all Ha
The bill contained clause requiring
the National banks to give UP their six
per cent. bonds, and take in lieu of them
bonds bearing an average of but four
and half per cent. The banks there
upon sent to Washington the wealthiest
lobby that ever infested the Capital, and
forthwith 1t Is announced that the fund
ing bill is dead. The bank lobby pre-
sentsd arguments which quickly demol-
ished it.
This much loved measure which had
exhausted all the financial brains of the
Radical leaders, laughed to scorn all OPP
position from the people, but skulked
into. an ignominious grave on the first
| sight of the long purses OF the bankers,
The Radicals created this giant bank
monopoly, and now it is able to master
the party. GRANT may grumble, and
Boutwell, may buster, and the Senate
may storm, but the "blackbacks" have a
good thing, and they are able to keep it.

against 1t; second, the refusal to incor
porate into it an appropriation to pay
the "Moagan raid claims" Several
Republicans opposed it on that account.
1t was reconsidered yesterday, and cut
down considerably, and is to-day again
the subject of controversy. If it gets
anything near the shape it ought to as
sumo it will pass, if not it will again
fail When it comes to the Senate it
will be further reduced There is no
need of such large appropriations. Our
public institutions and charities ought
10 be kept in good order, but princely
grandeur is repugnant to the wishes of
all Industrious, free and independent
people.
A great many other measures have
been under consideration and some
passed, of which 1 would like To write,

Rou,welrs Mania for Taxing.

The Secretary of the Treasury seems
to have a mania fer taxing. lie is op-
posed to any reduction In the tariff, and
he is in favor of Continuing the internal
revenue. Although taxation is eating
the vitals cut of the industry of the
country, and is taking from the people
annually hundred millions more than
is necessary for current expenditures, he
threatens ruin whenever d proposal is
made to leave the laborers little more
of their earnings.
He has now in the Treasury vaults
about seventy million dollars in bonds
which he has purchased with the sur
plus revenue which escaped the splunder
crs. These bonds are. not cancelled, as
they should be. On the contrary they
are drawing interest just the same as if
they had never been purchased. The
interest on, these redeemed bonds amount
to between four and Eve millions of dol
lars. s9e g5g psa
Itwould certainly puzzle Mr.. Bour-
WELL to explain why the people should
be taxed to pay five millions per annum
interest on bonds which their own
mons,' has redeemed. 4o rii s.sls.a
In his estimation for the expenses ol
the year Mr.. Boutwell, carefully count.
the interest on these bonds as part OF
the amount of the expenses to be mel
by drains on the people.
The only financial ability the Secretary
has thus far displayed has been NANTES,
ted ia his ingenious contrivances for ex,
torting the last nickel that could b.
squeezed from the slender purses Of his
Legitimate game-the taxpayers.

Eastern prosperity.

The Democratic members are making
some very good speeches in Congress-
now. They are short, which gives them
a prime chance of being read by their
constituents, and full of facts and figures,
rather than mere rhetoric, which makes
them effective when read. Mr.. Morgan,
of Ohio, has, among those who have
lately spoken, done special service. He
shows that the Tariff act of 1889, which
first imposed duty on salt, extended
the bounty, or drawback, system, now.

England, equally to the fishermen of the,
East and the pork and beef packers Of
the North and West, but that for many
years past the man whe packs meat q. q.
the man out of New England) has had
no drawback on salt, while the man who
packs fish (i e., the New Englander)
has had, and still has. such drawback, in
the shape of what is termed fishing boun-
ties How this works is made apparent
in the statement that, in 1869, the salt
bought, duty free, in Gloucester, Mass J.
District, for single quarter, cost tho
New England fish-packers but the first
price S9307-whereas, had New York
or Ohio meat packers desired to buy,
there, the same salt would have cost
them not only the first price, S9307, but
the duty, or S14,440 9S in addition, thus
making the Western pork packer pay
s23,747 SO for what only costs the Eas-
tern fish packer S9307
