The rrihune,s scheme.

The proposition of Warrior Barker, OIL
Philadelphia. to distribute the accumu-
lations Of the Treasury. over ana ABOVE
what are needed to carry on the govern
ment among the States, has called out
vast deal of comment and discussion.
Following Mr.. Barker various other would
be statesmen have come forward Win
propositions TO dispose OF the sur
plus cash. All Of them, however,
are rank protectionists and are
moved By only one idea, and that Is
TO prevent a reduction of the tariff. Inc
prOpOsition of the New York Tribune IS,
perhaps. the least tenable Of all that have
been advanced. 1t is to use the surplus
to paw of State, county and municipal
debts. This is a nice scheme. 1t Is noth-
ing more nor less than that thrifty and
economical communities shall be taxed
to support communities which are thrift
less and extrayagant. If this scheme
were put in operation the hard-TOrklng
and economical farmers and planters
of Georgia would be forced to
contribute to pay the municipal
debts contracted by the corrupt politl-
ticians of the city of New York. The
bankrupt city Of Elizabeth, New Jersey,
for instance, which owes more than Eer
real estate is worth, would not hesitate
10 contract additional debts if she were
certain that the National Treasury was
at her disposal. The idea of making States
which have taxed their citizens and paid
their bonds levy an additional tax to pay
the bonds of repudiating States is revolt
ing. The scheme is worthy Of the Tribune,
and shows to what straits the protec-
tionists are reduced to defend
their protection policy. 1t may safely
be asserted that schemes like those OF Bar
ker and the Tribune will never find
favor with the masses of the people. The
only just way to deal with the surplus
revenue issue is to lower the tariff to a
point where there Will be no surplus. In
that way, and that way only, can all the
people be treated equally and fairly. The
sooner the tariff is readjusted so as to
bring about this condition of affairs the
better. An overlooking treasury Is al
WAYS source Of danger. 1t breeds co.,
ruDt schemes.

There is a story afioat that the Western
Union Telegraph Company invited
the present strike for stOck-jObbing
purposes. The stock dropped sever
al points. and somebody made money,
but it would, perhaps, be diff
cult to prove that the directors of
the company were engaged in such
scheme, OF that they were in any way
benefited BIZ the strike. So many stories
have been told to the discredit Of the
Western Union. however, at one time ana
another. that the public is prepared 70 De-
Iieve almost any story that is set anoat
rasDAoting il. Whether this last story is
true or not. there is. no doubt, growing
impression that the company is altogether
TOO much Of a monopoly for the good
Of the public. Indeed, in this strike
there appears to be two pretty well de-
fined mOnOpOlies-a monopoly Of capital
and a monopoly of labor. Between the
two the public gets pretty bad treatment.
The present condition of affairs will tend
to hurry forward the postal telegraph
scheme. Ii is hardly doubted now that a
bill 10 establish the postal telegraph
will be pushed vigorously next Congress.
In view Of the present telegraph disturb
ances there Is reason to believe that such
a bin would meet with great favor. The
telegraph companies would, Of course, OPP
pose il. and would. perhaps, spend large
amounts Of money to defeat it. If the
people demand the postal telegraph,
however. il will be estab-
Iished. Notwithstanding the money
and the protests Of the telegraph compa-
nies. 4 very careful calculation of the
cost Of building telegraph lines along the
principal routes Of travel, reaching all
the leading cities and most Of the larger
towns. has been made, and the amount is
placed at fifteen millions Of dollars. Of
course. # the Western Union found that
the government was gong into the tele-
graph business ii would make an effort to
dispose of its lines, but the government
Will hardly pay hundred millions for
property that It can duplicate for fifteen
millions. There may be an cutlery that
the government, in establishing the
postal telegraph. is interfering with the
rights OF private citizens. There was an
0utcrv Of the kind when the mail
routes We're extended. Companies
which were running private mail
expresses were forced out of the
business. The freight express companies
also complained when the Post Office De-
partment was authorized to carry pack
ages. In both cases, however, the people
were greatly benefited. The people will
be benefited if postal telegraph is estab-
iished. The interests of the telegraph
companies are of little moment compared
10 those OF the public. 1t may probably
turn out that the Western Union. in re-
fusing to consider the complaints of the
operators, FASTENED the time when its mo-
uOp0ly viii cease.

hunt up life insurance agent, take out a
$4,000 policy, gave his note for the pre-

The fact that the telegraph companies

ness promptly, shows that the striking
operators are gaining ground. AS the
strike progresses the greater becomes the
necessity for the arrangements of the
companies to display common
sense and endeayor to full
I'LL their obligations to the public. These
corporations are economical enough not
to employ surplus help at the busiest
times, and their pretense that they can
transact their business with decimated
corps is ridiculous. The striking opera
tors offer to compromise, and the cOmpa-
MES should meet them in the like spirit.

ductions at the Louisville Exposition
from August 2Sth to September Ist. The
premiums offered for the best exhibits in
each kind OF fruit aggregate S2,O97. The
grand prize is $500 tor the best display of
"a local or county Horticultural society,
and second and third prizes Of 5000 and
500 respectively are offered for exhibits
having relative rank in merit. For the
best display Of apples the prize is S15,
and the same amount will reward eXhi5-
itors Of the lest peaches and grapes.
Pears command prizes ranging from $50
to 50. the latter sum being offered for the
best plate of each variety. Plums, water
melons and cantaleups command prizes
ranging from $50 to s.. Entries must be
made by p. m, Of Tuesday, August %,
no entry fee being required.
