For ECONOMY NorE THE DEMO
CRATIC TICKET.-Ths Democrats pre-
sent good ticket and as they have shown
that they know how TO manage the cit,
affairs more cheaply, safer and better
than the Republicans have done for the
last twenty years, their whole ticket
headed by Harry Sharpley, ESD, for
President, 5, oud be elected by large
majority.
This is asked for on the score Of
economy proved by comparison of the
Democratic city administra ion of los
year with the Republican administration
Of the year previous. And, also as an &C
of approval of Mr.. Sharpley's course il
the State Senate in securing the passag
through that body of this law for TIN
removal of the courts TO this city. Thi
certainly deserves approval at the hand
of our people.

THE London Economist explains that
orders for railroad iron rails are for
ward, d to London in preference. to steel
rails because the tariff laws Of the
Unite States require duty Of f5 los.
per ton ON steel rails aud only f3 ON
iron rails. And OH this the New York
Herald says;
"Onr duty on steel rails is so much
higher tina that on iron rails that, in
spite of the cheapened methods OF pro-
ducing steel rails, which are used IN this
country as well as in England, and
which ought to enable all roads to lay
down steel rails, our lalii-laid in this
instance VIGOROUSLY to protect" or give
bounty to American producers OF Bes.
semer steel-actually compels some oil
our companies, by its higher duty OIL
steel rails, to lay down IRON, even at &
higher price until the duty is count in
though experience shows iron rails to b.
not only deaIer in tue long run, but in
creasiug the liability To accident. Is /
not time to change such tariff regula
ton?

GOLD COMING TO PAY FOR Pro
DUcE.-If 1t were not fer bad laws the
coin currency Of the country would now
regulate itself, as before the war.
We are told that there has been placed
in the Assay office in New York, Sl5,-
0Ou,000 of gold, and that large quantities
of gold in bars and foreign coin TO pay
for wheat and other products is ON It's
way to this country. This is only the
beginning Of what we may expect. The
low state OF the trade in Europe will
lead capitalists there to hold on to U. s.
bonds because they draw interest, and
part with their gold in preference.
1t will readily be seen that the nations
cafe very Little how much or how little
metal there is in our dollar,-that they
will command just what they are worth
anyhow. They do not send us U. S.
gold eagles to bny wheat. They send
us what CON they have and expect US to
weigh aud assay gold and take it for just
so many of our dollars as It will make.
Now, If we were rid Of the bad p, eju-
dces against silver and the laws that
these preiudices have caused, we would
not have a particle of trouble with metal
for currency, and would have just as
much as the trade demanded and no
more. IL has been the aim Of The Demo-
cra,s III Congress to get back TO where
We were in 1850 as to coinage. Then
any one could take gold or silver 10 the
L. 5. Mint and have it coined into
money-the Mint taking enough to pay
all expenses OF labor, dc, just as the
miller takes his toll. II this was the
case now there would be no more silver
or gold coiued Than the trade demanded
We have plenty of silver and gold
and if Congress would permit 1t the
laws of trade-of supply and demand
would regulate our coin currency ant
adjust it to our necessities better than Il
is done now by John Sherman's ship
ments Of silver dollars, and without thu
expense of transportation either. Thos'
who have gold bullion would have to &,
to the Minis ami have il coined aud tn
owners Of silver bullion would do tn
same.

The Republican on Saturday bes' owed
two columns upon the simple statement
made by the Chairman of the Finance
Committee in Council on Thursday
night, to mystify and explain it ava, F.,
and then failed. The Republic, MS only
object seemed to be to prove that as Mr..
Guthrie had some months previously
stated The city would have about the first
of September on hand about $4,000,
and that ought 10 be enough to conduct
the affairs OF the city to next April, his
estimate fell short. Now, we have not
been able to see that Mr.. Guthrie has
not shown he was correct, or very nearly
80. The Republican admits that accord
ing to the report of the City Treasurer
there was in Bank 70 the credit of the
city S81, 555.23; and to the credit of the
Board of Education 1924, 662.26, making
The daily gazette., 1879-09-01

sl06, i27.49. That Is admitted by the
Rspubiicdn
Now, add to this the sums which Mr..
Guthrie explained before the Council q
not In the report Of the City Treasurer
that evening, viz i: To the credit Of the
Board Of Education, $4,000; paid to .
fire company in advance, the payment
n i beng due TO untilSept mbe ~ ,25O.,0;
and 1000 In the hands OF the collectors.
This Mr.. Guthrie shows should be added
to the $lO8, 127 40, reported by the City
Treasurer, and we then have $l28,377 90.
Actually more than the Republican says
Mr.. Guthrie predicted the city would
have on hand about the 1st of Septem-
Der. Bear in mind that Mr.. Guthrie
did not expect that the words din bank"
would be used against him. That was
a mere snbterfuge. What matten Il
whether all the $l2s. 377.99 Is "in bank
or not. Bah man; let Us hear you ex-
plain how It was that the Republican
Council last year had expended every
dollar of the $217,741.7i they collected In
July and August and had been allowed
by the City Treasurer to overdraw their
account in bank some four or FIVE thous-
and dollars, will you. What contrast
the Democrats have now, $i2O, 600 to run
the government with, and last year with
tax rate 8 cents higher tue Republicans
had spent every dollar by this time and
were short about $4,000.

AMONG the worst enem es of the
Democratic party are the few men who
are endeavoring to split it up by voting
against the ward tickets. Such men
say that they are not bound to vo e the
Democratic municipal ticket although
they claim to be Democrats. This doc
trine will not satisfy Democrats thai the
promulgators of it 'eel bound to vote the
Democratic ticket at any time. The
very men who vote against their wa d
nominations if successful in ieatinl
the ticket will vote with the enemy OIL
any other occasion when they hope t,
defeat a candidate. The Republican
would regard victory here Tor the
ticket as the first sign of an appruachin
victory in the whole State, and notwill
standing the language in their aldre'
they would claim it in all parts of I'll
State as the first gun.

A $4,000 EDITORIAL.

The Louisville Post publishes q story
OF powerful editorial, once upon i,
time, written and suppressed by tho
late Geo. ID. Prentice, the value placed
upon the article being $4,000. Mr..
VIM. Calvert, who was for many years
book-kecper of the Louisville Journal,
gives tho information, saying that he
and Paul II. Ship,nan alone, OF persons
now living, know the secret. Mr..
Calvert is thus reported:
"One day while was book eepcr
ut the Journal office, $25, 200 were loft
by Il very prominent inan for Mr..
Prentice. 1 know it., for l handled
the money, but didn't know for what
1t was intended. I always used to go
to the Office in time to send off the
early mails. At this time exciting
news was looked for, and tho next
morning went earlier than usual in
order to look at the dispatches from
the proof-sheets in tho composing
room. / proceeded to the hook and
commenced looking ut the proofs, when
l was astonishcd to find column edi-
torial written by Mr.. Prentice and
strongly favoring the secession of the
State. It was at time when the ex-
element here was high, tho legisiatu ture
was in session, and this editorial was
Wftteh WIFI view TO influencing the
members. was greatly surprised to
think that the Journal should espouse
the cause of the rebellion, and deter
mined, for the time at least, to kill that
editorial. I at first got chisei and
attempted to deiace the types so that
the article would have to be reset or
laid over, but this would not do.
'I had but short time before the
forms would go to press. / started on
a full run for Mr.. Simmons. / Sue
ceeded in finding him, but where do
not exactly remember, as was SO ex-
cited at the time. / hurried with him
to the office, reaching there just before
the form was closed, showed him the
proof, and he ordered it out. What
relief it was to him and to me! 1t
was in this way that the noted cdito
rial which would have thrown the
Journal, perhaps Kentucky, on the side
Of the South and the rebellion, was
suppressed. / have not said anything
in regard to this matter until lately,
and then only when approached on
the subject. Mr.. Belljgan, who was
then foreman of the Journal, removed
the editorial from the form.
"The next day there was n lively
time about the Office, Mr.. Prentice be-
ing terribly mad. You know how mad
