THE PANIC MAKERS
New York Press.

No words of5 condemnation can be too
strong for the double loaded financial
dynamite which the democratic news
papers are exploding in their editorial
columns in their anxiety To score a point
against the republican party in the mat
ter of Stringcncy, growing out of the de-
mand for money to pay duties on goods
i'm bond. a republican administration is
doing all it can 10 prevent any evil effects
OF StringcnCy, SO far aS the government
can prevent them under existing laws.
The republican secretary of the treasury
was i'm town yesterday and l. in town to-
day 10 receive suggestions for the relief OF
the money market. The republican con-
gresS, represented by a conference com
mittec of the two houses. is reasonably
certain TO extend the time for taking
goods out of bond under present duties.
II has been shown beyond cavil that the
value of the goods i'm bond and the
amount of money required 10 pay duties
on them have been exaggerated. And
yet here are the democratic partisan
newspapers trying their best to create a
panic and bring about "A disaster that
would ruin innocent people for the sake
Of scoring a party victory in the congress
sional elections. The ghouliSh spirit
that is willing TO profit by such methods
deserves the indignant adherence OF
every right minded man of any party.

POLITICAL NOTES.

IS most Of the figuring on tho next
presidential election. Missouri is placed
i'm the democratic column. This is an
error that all political arithmeticians
should carefully avoid. Missouri has
made fool Of herself in that way for
the last time, and will hereafter be found
among the republican states.
IN the three states where members Of
the next house have been chosen-Orc-
gon. Vermont and Manc-not single
democratic candidate has succeeded.
There isn't much sign of a republican
calamity this year in such a beginning as
that
THERE is such thing after all as a
man being loved for the enemies he has
made. Look at Reed for instance, and
consider how the malice of the demo-
Gratis has cndearcd him 10 the hearts of
a large majority OF the American people.
ONO would lose congressman by the
Dunnel apportionmcnt, and is almost
the only state which would thus suffer.
The Ohio man has lost the pull which he
had with Providence a few years ago.
WYOMING gives a handsome republican
majority as a mark OF gratitude Nr her
admission into the Uuion by rcpubli-
can congress. IL Is a victory OF reci-
procity, i'm other words.

SILVER PROFITS.
Under the New Bin the People Maks the
Profits Instead of the Speculators-
SS,0OO,OOO Saved to the People Annually.
[Council Bluffs Nonparlel. I


Pull ont your pencil and do little fig
uring. Every silver dollar is worth now
i'm the market about So cents. A month
ago they were worth but - cents. 1t is
proposed now 10 coin or TO buy bullion
for coinage To the amount of four and
half million a month. On every silver
dollar coined or on every silver certificate
issued there is now a difference of about
10 cents between the fixed value and mar
ket value. When the government takes
50 cents and makes it into a standard dol
lar, il pockets this difference. That is 10
say. in the end, il goes to the people. The
republican idea is to coin just as much
money as the volume Of business de-
mands. This is free coinage i'm effect.
For free image is simply the right 10
take 10 the mint the legal amount of
silver and have it coined as a legal dol
lar. This would mean that silver would
be coined until the demand would be
equalled and then it would stop. Given
then that the government coinage is adj
equate. limited coinage and free coinage
are in effect, identical. But with this
difference: When the government buys
bullion and coins, il receives the rake
off, il any exist; at present that is -
cents on the dollar. Under free coinage,
the government simply does the coinin
and the holder of the bullion receives
the rake off" Now who is tho
bullion holder? The people, the
farmer, the laborer? Have they any
silver bullion to coin? Whence comes
then the cry for free coinage? From
the bullion holders, the mine owners,
the silver spectators. They are the
clamOrous ones, and why? Because
under free coinage they would make
what the government now makes. Sup
posing four and onc-half millions per
month is now needed. Give us free
coinage and at present prices, that
means - cents on every dollar, or SG75,-
900 per month, pockctcd by the silver
spectators. That means eight millions
year. Under the present law. the re-
publican plan, every cent of that now
goes 10 the government, that is To say
the people. Under democratic free COIN
age every cent of it would have gone 10
enrich the millionaire owners of silver
mines.
That is the meaning Of the cry for free
coinage. II is what the working people,
the farmers and merchants desire.

According To the reapportonment bill
introduced by Mr.. Dunncll, the house of
representatives elected i'm 1892 will con-
sist of 354 members. This is an increase
of twenty-four. One member Is given
for 10000 population. On this basis
the distribution is made to the states.
The electoral vote in 1892 must change
TO correspond.
Mr.. Dunnell is chairman of the COM
mittce which will report the electoral
bill at the next session of congress.
This fact tends TO give considerable inn
portancc TO his plan. If this basis Of
one member of congress for 10000 pco-
pie is adopted the electoral college to be
chosen in November. 1892, will number
442. The successful candidate for the
presidency will have to receive at least
222 votes. The electoral votes of the
states as they will be if the Dunnell
basis is adopted are given below. The
classification as democratic and republi-
can is based simply on the way the
states went i'm 1858.

nIorganatic Marriages.

The term "morganatic, applied to
marriages, had its origin in an ancient
custom by which the bridegroom, on
the day after the wedding, gave his
bride a morning gift-morganabe. In
the case of a nobleman welded to q
wife of low estate this morning gift
constituted the wife's portion, or en-
dowment, and from this gift such mar
riages took the name morganatica. The
German law, continuing this tradition,
allows the members of the reigning
house and certain noble families to con-
tract them, legal and valid, except that
it gives to the partner of lower birth
and to the children no share in the
rank. titles and distinctions of the
privileged house. Such marriages have
often been eminently happy ones.

transfers the vantage ground To Spain.
Those who take this ground belong 20

Il do not mean in anything | have
said 10 imply that reciprocity is only
western interest. Ii will prove beneficial
and profitable both To the farm and shop.
The many forms i'm which our business
interests will be promoted by reciprocity
cannot be known until the active COM
mercial men OF the United States shall
have developed those forms OF investiga-
tion and experience. We shall not
realize the full benefits OF the policy i'm
day or year. But shall we, therefore.
throw away countless millions of trade
in addition 10 the $50, 900. 900 we have
already thrown away and then ignorantly
declare without trial that the system
won't work?' Finally, there is one
fact that should have great weight,
especially with protectiOnistS. Every
free trader in the senate voted against
reciprocity. The free trade papers
throughout the country are showing de-
termined hostility To il. IL is evident
that the free trade senator's and free
trade papers have a specific reason for
their course. They know and feel that
with a system of reciprocity established
and growing, their policy of free trade
receives most serious blow. The pro-
tectionist who opposes reciprocity in the
form in which 1t is now presented knocks
away one of the strongest supports OF
his system. The enactment of reciproc-
ity is the safe guard of protection. The
defeat of reciprocity is the opportunity

The most significant deduction TO be
drawn from these figures is that New
York ceases to be- the pivotal state. The
thirty-six votes of New York transferred

number necessary 10 elect. Indiana and

What They Eat In limbnctoa.

The people of TimbUctoo live on the
whole very comfortably. in an eco
nomic sense. and Ur. LEM saw very
few signs OF poverty or bcggary among
them. They have three meals a day.
The first at Q a. H., consists of small,
new baked wheaton ~loaves, ''of alto
gether excellent quality" pieces of
which, in eating, you successfully dip
into dishes Of honey and fluid butter.
The main meal at 3p. m., is composed
of two, someti nes three courses, sup
piled by kusku vegetables, mutton or
beef, poultry nd pigeon. Everything
is tastefuiy ? epared.
But what are kuskus! They arr
made of tho -four of wheat, barley,
maia or e negro millet. The
meal is moi .ened: then, by a peculiar
movement pf the palm and the fingers
it is twirlel of into small grains. II
Is next dr'cd in the sun. The kuskus
are not cooked, but steamed by being
put into IN earthen lst riddled with
small holes at the bottom, which is
placed over another filed with water,
resting on the fire. Emptied into a
dish, the kuskus are strewn over with
saffron saucc; ,len flesh aud ycgcta-
bles are tastefully scattered over them,
and they IRE eaten with the fingers of
the right hand-though it requires
some practice to carry them to the
mouth without dropping any.
Fish is rclegated almost exclusively
TO the negroes, and a person has sunk
very low who will eat any kind of
fish. The evening meal. between Q
and 10, consists generally Of rice
mingled with small pieces of meat.
No spirituous liquors are drunk; the
solid food is washed down only with
water, taken from the calabashes.-

Legal, Yet Illegal.

tain wishing TO buy wine, by order Of
the general commanding, for distribu.
ton i'll his company, failed TO obtain
such. Thereupon he requisitioned it
from a country gentleman, who, as he
was obliged TO do, furnished the wine.
This gentleman afterward sent in his
bill TO the government for the value of
the wine, as he was legally entitled to.
but instead of receiving his money,
t~hreerevenue officers calledun him and
took proceedings against him because
he had no right to sell wine.
BY the law Of the country the pro-
prietoris obliged to part with his wine
when it is requisitioned. Blythe same
law he can claim the value from the
government as if sold, but by the same
law again lie is punishable for selling
wine without a license. We also hope
