A Short wav with the surplus.

The Government income for the current
fiscal year, beginning July l, is estimated
at 1898 ,OO0, 900, or SIN. 100000 tariff.
sl30. 0O0. 900 internal revenue and the rest
miscellaneous. This ought TO leave
surplus of sl2O, 100000. The surplus, less
sinking fund, will not be tenth Of this.
The House has primary charge, under
the Constitution, both of revenue and ex-
penditure. The Senate has not. The
House has good party of twelve TO SIX
teen. The Senate has a bare party MAORI
ty of but two.
The Democratic party has always talked
economy and practiced extravaganza
The Republican party in the days OF It's
most complete control never approached
the reckless expenditure of the present
House. Its Democratic majority has
found short way to deal with the sur
plus. 1t has spent it.
The aggregate appropriations made oil
making are S251 100000, the permanent
appropriations for interest, etc., are s6s,

sham but required by law, is si1 10000
total. s37l, O00,0 Take this from th'
receipts and there is 81, 1000, 900 left.
This is a beggarly total to which thu
surplus is cut down by Democratic ex
travagance. Abolish the sinking funt
and it would stand at s69, 900, 900, two
thirds the expected total.
The ready answer is that the House ha

Abuses in the Postal Service

The Chicago News is an ardent Admin
stration paper but it enjoys the distinction OF
being about the only paper of that stripe
which does not treat civil service reform as a
dead issue. Speaking of gross abuses which
prevail in the Post Offices at indianapolis
and at Chicago under this "Reform" Admin.
straton, it says:
'All the facts, however. that are known to
the public have, there, too as here, been
brought before the Administration time and
again; and there, as here, studied indiffer-
ence to violation of the law is the insolence
of office'-alike insulting to civil service re-
formers and to the people.
1t may be that President Cleveland does
not really care to be reelected and that he is
taking this course to insure defeat. Wildly
improbable as is such an hypothesis, it is
vastly more tenable than the theory that he
is tolerating these abuses because he thinks
the political services of such men as Jones,
Judd and their fellows of like kidney neces-
sary for his fortunes.
MIR. Cleveland may rest assured that for
every vote these men can control through
making the public service an asylum for
their henchmen he will lose two from the
business community whose interests are tri-
fled with, whose property is rifled and whose
affairs are deranged by the criminal irrespon-
sibilty and inetiiciency of these Offensive
partisans' and petty politicians"

IS per cent ad valorem. We should have
continued importing WEIGH states had it not
been for that tariff much longer than we
did, We don't know much about wool
domestic or foreign" free" or taxed,
but we do know a little something about
slate, and the quarries and quarrymen can
offer thanks to IS per cent tariff for crowd
ing out the foreign states and giving the boys
a chance to earn a living here. 1t certainly
gave a better opportunity for developing the
American quarries and the use of better ma
ehinery and appliances for making goo
slate.
Senator Morrill, of Vermont, was staunch
friend in Congress for the American slate
quarries, and they owe much 10 him.
As we were large importers he did not get
much encouragement from US for 80 per
cent rate, but we pay him the just compli-
ment due him for his efforts 10 protect that
industry.
The Maine states have improved in make
since the old times trade, and the need of
Welch slate in this country is thing of the
past. For unfsding color and for general
good quality and strength of material, We
know of no states their equal.
Yours truly,

The Advantages of Protection OIL
American Salt Industry.

Among the Protected industries of this
country about which Free Traders howl
with special violence, is that of American
salt The Tariff Bulletin points out that
in 1887 our importation of salt "was
valued at 81 100000 and represented about
400, 900 tons of all grades. The United
States produced about 900, 900 tons more.
giving total of 100000 tons. If this
imported salt had been made in the
United States at the same cost, it would
have given employment TO 5000 men at
$40 per month, and the Government
would have had s750,000, less surplus.
The ratio of labor to the population is
2.55, therefore this one industry would
have peopled town of 5000 inhabitants.
But it does not stop here. These 5000
people must have coal, boots, shoes,
clothing, groceries and thousands of other
things, and would require 5000 more
people to supply them; therefore We
would have city of 10000 inhabitants.
Think of building city like that every
year from one industry. But this is not
half the story. 1t is from salt that a
large part of our chemicals are produced.
These are nearly all imported. Last
year S3S 100000 worth were imported.
If these were produced here more cities
would be established and the surplus
further reduced. Every industry is bene-
fitted and every man, woman and child
in the United States made richer and
happier. There is no question that we
can raise any quantity of beets for sugar,
flax for linen, or have plenty of salt
The State of New York alone has over
200 square miles underlaid with salt $50
feet thick. This is to say nothing of the
brines of Syracuse and vicinity. Prob
ably there is twice as much more rock
salt and brine in New York State. This
territory would yield at the present rates
of salt consumption 800 years supply.
Then there are the enormous beds in
Louisiana, Virginia, Michigan, Ohio,
Penns ylvania, and several other States,
enough to last a population of 0,000.-
600 souls 900, 900 years" Every Amer-
can who has patriotism in his heart
must prefer that we should draw from
our own springs and mines than from
those of foreign lands.

The Superficial Device of Demagogue


Rarely has an independent Nation been
so Inundated by its chief ruler as is the
United States by the course of President
Cleveland on the Fishery question. Dis
regarding the action of both Houses of
Congress, which had marked out detin-
lite policy for him to follow, he and Bay
ard made shameful surrender to the de-
mands of England in the treaty which
the adroit Joseph Chamberlain seduced
them to approve and send to the Ameri-
can Senate, which Indignantly rejected it
after a long and able discussion of its
remarkable faults. Seeing that the pub
lie sentiment of the country is against
him in the weak and iguoble course he had
taken on this grave national question, in-
tive policy Congress had previously
marked out for him, gracefully acknowl-
edging his mistake, he attempts to fling
himself into an extreme the opposite of
that covered by the bargain he and Bay
ard had foolishly made with British Cham
berlain. This is the conduct of harle-
quin rather than of the statesman, of the
cheap demagogue rather than of the pa
triot. He now advises a course which
he knows nobody will think of seriously
adopting, hoping thus to avoid all action.

Trusts and Monopolies.

This is an unfortunates election. Senator
Payne, that eminent Ohio Democrat, is a

Pennsylvania, Mr.. Cleveland's lieutenant,
is one of the wealthiest aud most conspic-
