Senator Beck of Kentucky is If any

that when there Is idle money enough

although Mr. Beck INDUCES in the
pleasing delusion that something can be
done towards revenue reform at the
Forthcoming session of Congress.
1t Is the present policy of the Repub

But take the other point of view.
Mr.. George is said to be making many
converts among the workingmen to his
