from Europe large number
OF men to fill their places.
This was the first introduction of

The Bankers Association, which
met at Saratoga day before yester-
day, passed the same resolution
against the further coinage of stand>
ard silver dollars which it did last
year at Louisville. There Is nothing
remarkable in the fact that national
banks should oppose the coinage of
silver. Its suspension would BE- in
the direct line of their interests, as
such suspension would leave q void

country which they could readily ill

Last summer he panied his friends
by asking constantly how they
thought he looked. Somebody told
him the little pools left by the .ebb-
tide on the rocks of the coast were a
specific for the disease he thinks he
has. and he was often seen drinking
from them, and bathing his face and
arms in them. During the past win
ter when he was visited by promi-
nent politicians who wished to talk
with him about his nomination, he
surprised and saddened them by in>
difference, and he told one man he
had rather live in peace and quiet,
than to be elected President and die
in office. For q few days before the
convention met he seemed to be like
his old self, and after he was noml-

some of the energy that was char

prime. But that did not last long.
After the Democratic convention the
old conviction that he cannot be

nearest him believe that unless this

1t is a sickening story that is told
about the survivors of the Greedy ex-
pedition. They may have shot and
eaten one of their comrades. The
story is neither admitted nor CONTRA
dicted by those who are supposed to
know. tits not not impossible that
the starving survivors in their insan-
ity may have resorted to cannibalism
to save their lives. 1t Is not the first
time famished men at sea have. pro-
longed their lives at the expense of
others in their party. Neither is it
the last time it will be done. But
what most concerns the public Just
now Is, must the horrible story be
verified piece by piece by a public
investigation? And If found true what
can he done with the survivors? Is
1t proposed to hang them? or impris-
on them? or hold them up to public
detestati0n? Nothing of the kind
will be done. Then let the matter
rest along with the great blunder of
the government in fitting out the
expedition in the first place.

An Untruthful Demagogue.

Would-be Vice President Hendricks is
very busy making speeches in the hope
of electing himself and Governor Cleye-
land. His favOrite text is the surplus,
regarding which he endeavOrs dsliber-
he goes he informs his audience that
there Is $4COOOO,OOO lying unemployed
and useless in the treasury, and that
there will be added to that sum at the
end OF the current year. another $780,
100000 making $500,000,000 In the
Treasury vaults, ''wrung from the peo.
beyond the demands of Government"
The impression he seeks to convey is
that the Government as administered by
the Republicans has been engaged for
years and is still engaged in withdraw
money from circulation and heaping it
up IReedlessly Sin the treasury by levy
ing taxes in excess Of its needs. He
quotes Republican uttsrances to support
his statements, suppressing the fact
that the authorities quoted have refer
ence to the possibility Of future not
present accumulatiOns in the Treasury
or are the expressions of men ObjsctIng
to what they conceive to be the toe rap
i'd payment Of the national debt.
The total cash in the Treasury on the
first day of the month was $414.541 1852.
Offsetting this there Is in circulation
$242, S51'841 in gold and silver certifica-
ties, for which the Government is bound
TO hold an equivalent of coin in its
Treasury. 1t mas no more right to pay
out the coin for (which it issues certii-
Gates than any private bailee has to nego-
tiate against the property left with him
in pledge, Against the remaining Sill,
$4,000 there is outstanding the $780,
100000 legal tender notes which the
Government Is pledged to redeem In
coin on demand, and $l4,420,0OO certlh-
Gates of deposit, for which it is under a
similar obligation. The present cash
reserve that 10 subject TO the apprOpria-
tons Of the last session of Congress
which are still unsatisfied is not eXces-
sive, and if $100,00O0O0 or any portion
thereof, is collected during the year in
excess of the needs of the Government,
it will not be- stored in vaults, as Mr.
Hendricks falsely states, but in accord
anee with the settled Republican policy
it will be applied to the payment of the
debt as rapidly as any considerable sum
is available.
Mr.. Hendricks asks his audience where
ever he goes, "Just stop and think how
! much that $400,000,000 or $500,000.00(
would do for you and YOURS" and re-
minds them in the same connection o.
the number Of men in the country wht
are out of employment. The inferonct
which he would have them gather is, APP
parently, that if he had the power HI
would divide this money among those
unemployed. Kearney himself, on thu
sand lots of San Francisco, never wal
guilty of more harmful utteranees nOl
displayed more rank demagogic spirit
than Hendricks is showing in every
speech he makes. His statements ar,
untruthful and his differences and in
situations are dishonest and misleading
They prove that, Independent of his pc
litical convictions, Mr.. Hendricks is moi

HOW American Beer is protected.
Gath in Cincinnati Enquirer.

Gath in Cincinnati Enquirer.
The protective laws of the United
States protect the manufacture Of beer
more than anything else. Every gallon
OF beer imported into the United States
pays duty Of So barrel. II that beer
Is in bottles it pays duty of more than
81 a barrel. The consequences Is the
beer Of Germany are practically shut
out of our markets, except for people
who will pay ten cents glass and small
glasses at that. But for these protective
laws the American brewers would be
washed to pieces in year or two. The
English now build refrigerating ships,
and they make beer so cheap that they
could bring it Over--the best beers OF
Bavaria and Bohemia, and even British
besr-and sell it at good profit for Sc 80
a barrel. The operation of the Morrison
Tariff bill would knock the brewers OF
the West all to pieces.
