COUNTING UNCLE SANS TREAS
URE


The counting of Uncle Sans treas
ure preparatory to releasing the bonds
men of the outgoing treasurer has be-
gun, Respecting this interesting and
most careful business the Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial-GaZette says:
The counting of these enormous
sums will take many weeks and great
effort, but 1t isn't eXpec ted that any
shortage will be discovered either in
Washington or New York.
1t is strange and fascinating sight
to those who are admitted to watch the
handling of these vast stores of wealth
but very few are allowed this privilege.
The honesty of newspaper men seems
to be granted by Uncle Sans watch
dogs, and, accompanied by the treasur-
er or his assistant, they are permitted,
when we'll known, to go down into the
steel-lined vaults below the surface of
the ground. There brawny-colored la
borers and experts are perspiriDg in
the close atmosphere, while light is
shed upon the strange scene from a
dozen electric lights.
No one at work seems to be op-
pressed by the magnitude of the treas
ures handled. Little four wheeled
cars, bearing twenty or thirty thousand
dollars in load. are trundled from the
various compartments to the weigher,
who sits in front of "A pig scale adjusted
to weigh a thousand dollars each time.
The money is poured from the bags
into shining copper dish with rat
tie that is music to the ears of the
stranger, whose eyes are de-
lighted by the glitter of the
shining discs, that reflects the electric
IiOhts SuSnendad from above and re-
call the Arabian Nights story of
Aladdin" The slightest abr aston in
a coin, or the absence or short weight
of one, or of any number, is indicated
at once by the sensitive scale used. No
| bag is tied up or sealed until the full
weight has been tried and registered,
and then 1t is carried away with the
others to be stacked up in the cell
| like safes, each of whcih holds from
seven to ten million dollars.
The question is nearly always asked
feel desire to dip out fistful of the
wealth they are handling, but they
simply laugh and answer no. This
money to them islike so much coal or
sand. 1t has no suggestiveness about
it to men whose only thought is of the
amount in each package and who are
as familiar with the sight of millions
as others are with the sight Of a pile OF
bricks. There is no lack of guards
and checks to keep every one straight,
however, and once, some years ago
| when a green laborer tried to hook a
dollar as lie was dumping a pile into a
bag, he was caught on the second
weighing, which is a part of the sys-
tenn, and dismissed instantly. Nc
new man has ever been put in the
vaults since.

such0poor results, such evil fortune sur
rounding him and staring him in the
face? Not unless he was stupider than
he gets credit for being.
Then, if something else produces no
better results, no better fortune. what
is his remedy? Change. is it not?
But it is answered, 1.-THE farmer
doesn't think so; he wants no change;
he is satisfied with the tariff. and
thinks that in time it will make him
RICH" In that case nothing is TO be
said. He is the doctor. If he is con-
tent to be robbed by Irvine and other
trUsts, and have his wheat eaten by
pigs instead of putting it into his own
stomach, why, that is his own business.
This is free country. and each one
has as good right as another to be &
simpleton; to do with himself and his
own what he pleases, to gather or t.
scatter.
If the farmer is satisfied, and want
no change in the tariff, then let hin
stop bowling and complaining, and &C
cept with good grace all its eonsequen
ces. When a man is suffering from
the govt, and. contrary to the dictate
of common sense and skilled advice
he continues to pour wine into hi
stomach, in the vain hope that an ez
cess of it will make him whole. nothin
is more tiresome or disgusting than hi
cries of anguish and pain.

Preaching temperance in Kansas is |
reasonably considered an ordinarily |
safe and hea1thful pastime, or BUSH
ness. If one cares to make business of |
what would seem to be perfectly need
less. SO tar as ardent drink Is con-
cerned. Facts do not carry out the as
sumption, virtuous and law-abiding as
Kansas is, if Geuda Springs dispatch
tells the truth.
at that place a minister of the Cos
pei, Rev. David Francis, has been no
titled by the White Caps that he must
put an end to his temperance har-
argues, or get out in short order, or be
ready 10 take the consequences. 1t
will be seen from this that the
festive regulators DO not hesitate to at
tack the pulpit, If it is thought neces-
essary to put things to right. One can
very easily see how they might find a
pretext for invading even the sanctities
of the pulpit in certain contingencies
of scandal-breeding nature, but to do
so for no other reason than that tenn
perance preaching is offensive is as
novel as it is absurd and atrocious.
Why the regulators should object to
temperance exhortations is strange,
and can be accounted for perhaps on no
other grounds than that it is
deemed useless and unnecessary
in state where prohibition exists. 1t
may be-we hazard the mere coniec-
ture-it may be that they look upon
such appeals from the pulpit as an in
direct way of impeachiDg the validity
and effectiveness of our prohibition
laws, of casting a slur upon them, and
as good as saying that prohibition does
not prohibit.
In that view of the case, they might
be excused for slipping few lines into
the local paper, recitIng cOurteously
their objection to such a course of pro-
cedure. and reminding the offender
how he was bringing prohibition itself
into disrepute. But to demand per-
emptorily cessation of the offensive
sermons is one of the most audacious
and high-handed proceeding of modern
times. 1t out-Herods HerOd, and if
caught, ought to subject the offenders
to the severest and most exemplary
punishment.

We notice that the Wichita Eagle
commends the heroic policy of the
farmers who propose to turn the pigs
into their wheat rather than pay the
exorbitant price demanded by the Irvine
trust for Irvine.
And is that the best that can be done
for the farmer, under republican adj
ministration too, with the stimulating
and encouraging help of protection to
all? Turn the pigs on your wheat, o
farmer, and show the world and the
trusts that you "have the courage of
your convictions That is the sort of
advice and consolation which the Ea-
gle extends to the unhappy farmer.
That individual will have no wheat,
but lots of courageous conviction
Why might not the idea dawn upon
his mind that, had the Mills bill be-
come law, he might have less ''con-
viction" and more wheat? Why may
he not reflect that in such a cOntin-
gency ie might be better off, while he
certainly could not possibly be any
worse off, at least so far as the binding
Irvine trust is concerned? Why might
he not say to himself that. if continued
protection to the manufacture of bind
ing Irvine. coupled with tariff on the
material of which it is made results
only in either robbing him if be SUBJ
mits to being robbed, or else in
the almost total loss of his wheat,
so far as he is concerned the less he has
of it, the better of he viii be? If
reduced tariff or free trade produced
such reverses and losses, what would
the average farmer and his friends say?
Why, that change was necessary,
that protection must be had and the |
tariff raised. Would the granger rest
easy very long under free trade with !
