The IariR Declared TO b0 the Only Issue
ON which the Democracy Can sue
ceed. ~
WAsn1NaroN, December 1.-Representat.
tive Mills, Of Texas, q prominent free
trader, who reached Washin gton las
night, says he Is in favor Of resuming the
tariff question, and Of continuing the light
until radical change in the existing high
rate OF duties Is secured. Mr.. Mills be-
lieves in conducting future political CAM
paigns on this question alone, and Is conf.
dent that II the late Presidential campaign
had been fought on this issue, Hancock
would have been elected. In re-
gard 10 the result of the Novem.
Der election, Mr.. Mills says the trouble
was that the Democratic Party had
bad leadership. "Msny Of the Democratic
leaders Of the South, !" he continued, "are
unpopular with the people OF that section,
who believe the leaders are not true 70 the
old Democratic doctrine on the tariff and
other important national questions. In
stead Of making the tariff the main issue
in the campaign, they attempted to con. |
cealit brought forward other questio tionsand
pursued a policy which arrRyed the sec
tions against each other" Mr.. Mills be-
lieyes that the only hope Of the Democracy
In the future isin deposing from leader.
ship those men who, with personal and
selfish interests, ignore the great ques.
tions which concern the whole country.
The Democrats should make free trade
feature in future platforms, and
place in nomination only men OF pro.
nouRted free trade principles. Sach o
policy, he believes, would secure the vote
of the States west OF the Ohio river, and
perhaps the vote Of Ohio. BE further
says that the people OF the South now feel
hat II the Democratic party would i'm.
prove the lesson taught by their recent
iefeat, proclaim themselves in favor OF Q
.ariff Tor revenue only, hostility to ma.
ional banks, and impoaition Of en- income
AK, instead Of continuing miserable sec.
ional fight, success would be achieved In
he future. In reference to the election OF
General Garfield, Mr.. Mills says that In
he South no doubts are entertained
bout Garheld's, election, and no one in
hat section would indoree movement tol
brow technical obstacles in the way OF
N official declaration OF the result.

ATLANTA, GA, December 1.-The cleo
toral vote OF Georgia is probably lost to
Hancock and English for the following
reason; The revised statute OF the United
States provides, in section 1876, that the
Electoral Colleges Of the several States
shall meet on the first Wednesday Of De.
csmber and cast the vote. The Georgia
code, section 1912, provides that the Gov.
ernor shall notify the electors to meet at
the capital on the first, Monday!of Decem.
ber, to be ready on the Wednesday fol.
lowing to cast their vote. This the Gov.
ernor has done, but the electors have not
met to-day, as provided, and It Is thought
by leading officials and lawyers here, that
they have no right to meet and vote next

An Appeal for Aid From Governor Sc.
John, OF KansaE.
CHICAGO, December 1.-The Inter Ocean
says edltorially that letters have been re.
ceiyed In this city within few days from
Governor st. John, Mrs. OomsLock and
others laboring among the cotorcd refu.
gees in Kansas, saying that thereis great
suffering among those poor people. Arri.
walls continue at the rate Of aboutone hum
dred aud fifty per week. Most Of them
are in destitute condition. The weather
Is very cold, and as the capacity OF
the present barracks ls greatly oyertaxed,
much suffering Is the result. Everything
is being done for their comfort that can be
with the limited means AZ command.
Mrs. Comstock and the Governor make
special appeals for lumber. They need
four car loads for tho purpose of building
new barracks. For these they appeal TO
the generosity OF the Chicago people, on
whom they have never yet called in vain.
1t Is not necessary to dwell on the sub
ieGt. The situation Is understood; the
suffering Is there, and 1t should be miti-
gated as much as possible. Lumber, or
money to buy lumber, will greatly aid in
the good work.

MONEY AND STOCKS.
Ths New York .tEvenlng Posts" Review
ofthe Market.

0f1ho mnfkeLs
NRw YORK, December 1.-THE EstntHQ
Poa says: "shares in speculation at the
Stock Exchange to-day are in q highly te'
yerish and unsettled condition. At times
the market has appeared to be on the
verge Of panic, put apparently those
working for lower prices are no more anx-
| ious to see panic than are the large spec;
ulatiys holdersof ofstocks, andat the critical
moment the market Is held at reason
able bounds. Daring the first hour prices
fell i to'5 per cent, for leading stock, but
little after the hour an upward reaction
began and is still In progress. AS We write,
a good part OF the early decline, having
been recovered, difficulty in getting
money is thus far to-day as great as 1t has
been at any time, brokers paying all sorts
Of commissions, up 10 one-fourth Of one
per cent per day to. have their
Stocks carried. The trouble with
the money market Ia that the banks
are practically helpless TO give aid
to their facilities, having been fully
taxed by the speculation Of the last few
weeks, which has required enough money
or credits to expand their loans TO figures
never before reached. Moreover the de.
mand for money from the South and parts
OF the West has continued very large, ex-
press companies reporting large daily ship
ments Of coin. This demand is nothing
unusual at this season OF the year, but is
felt more severely this year because ot the
expansion in speculation, while the banks
are losing money in this way as well as the
Treasury. They are gaining compare.
lively little by the receipts Of money from
nearby places, and have to depend mainly
for the replenishment OF their reserves, on
the receipts OF foreign specie. These lat.
ter, although large, have thus far proved
inadequate. The Treasury today begins
the payment ofthe quarterly interest on |
$3.50, 900, 900 Of 4 l per cent bonds. This In
terest amounts to 81, ,Sl2, 800, and OF course
will be help 10 the banks. -.l,..
The Bulletin says. Iewas aday OF ex.
change markets, as OF late speculation had
turned on the money market. Early IN
the day 1t was difficult toget money, and
brokers paid lat per cent for plain loans
and more in the form. Of turning stocks.
While this continued stocks were pressed
for sale, and in the first hour prices de.
clined las per cent for leading shares. At
times panic seemed inevitable, but. the
market was not allowed to ruu into
panic, prices having been advanced after
the first hour till little after noon. The
market then halted and prices wayered
and again began to- decline and 80 con.
tinued until It was known that the Secre.
tary had raised the price ct which he
would buy the 6's Of 1850, and signihed bis
willingness to buy 5000, 600 OF bonds
at the advanced price. There was then
rush to buy stocks, although money was
still leading at lat per cent. The latter
market hesitated and fell off 3a13 per cent,
but at this point the rate fol, call bonds at
The Stock Exchange fell TO 6sper cent and
.he buying OF stocks was renewed and
up to the close. 80
