THE VANISHING SURPLUS.
Millions Wasted by Greedy Republican
Money-Grabbers.

In less than four months time after
getting full control of the Government
the Republican party has succeeded in
more than disposing of the surplus and
placing itself in such a position that it
! must either repudiate all its pledges to
the soldiers or place a heavy burden of
debt upon the country. In an interview
ex-speaker Carlisle says: 1T is already
apparent that the appropriations for the
ordinary expenses of the Government
for the next fiscal year will be largely
in excess of the Secretary's estimate.
1t has been stated on the floor of the
House by a Republican member of the
committee on appropriations that the
sum of S+42, 099, 1000 will be required.
and if this is correct there will be
deficit of $1,000, Ito, instead of sur
plus, even if none of the extravagant
appropriat new pensions, Blair
bill, direct tax, etc. that L have men
toned shall be made" When asked
whether or not all these bills would
pass, the ex-Speaker responded
OF course it is impossible for me to say
whether they will not. But thing is
certain, and the country ought to understand
it. They will be passed if the Republican party
wants to pass them. 1t has the Senate, the
been so changed that the Democrats can neither
defeat nor delay any measure that the majority
may see proper to introduce. The pension
bills can be taken up any day and passed. and
so can all the others. If the repeated pledges
made to the soldiers and others by the Repub-
lcan party are not redeemed at this session of
Congress, it will be because that party does not
want to redeem them and does not intend to
do so. 1t has no excuse whatever for failure
to promptly pass all these bills, and if this
session closes without their passage, it will be
useless for it hereafter to pretend that it is in
favor of them. The time and opportunity have
come, and the party must take the whole
sponsibility for action or non-action. 1t Is true
able part of them would make it absolutely
necessary to impose additional taxes upon the
people, or largely to increase the public debt by
the issue of new bonds; but the Republican
party knew this just well when it made its
promises to the soldiers it knows it now,
and, therefore, it not escape responsibilities
on that ground.
Mr.. Carlisle might we'll have said that,
so far as the pension bills are concerned,
they will not be passed The Republican
party cares nothing for the old soldier
after it gets his vote. The only pledges
the Republican party ever redeems are
those made to the corporations, monop-
olieS and trusts. These will be redeemed
though the veterans die in the poor
house. -Indianapolis Sentinel

M'KINLEY'S REFORM" BILL.
1t Reduces the Re venues Without Reduc-
ing Monopoly Protection.


ing Monopoly Protection.
The bill of the ways and means COM
mittee for reducing the internal revenue
and the tariff, now ready to be reported
to the HOUse, goes far toward redeeming
the promise of the Republican party to
make the leading vices of the country
free and prosperous. The removal of
the tax from alcohol used in the arts is
equivalent to free whisky, as no method
has yet been discovered for preventing
frauds under such law. Manufactured
tobacco is to be four cents a pound
cheaper, and the tax on snuff is re-
pealed altogether. These changes are
presumably among the great moral
ideas for which the Republican party
claims distinction.
This alleged reform of the tariff in
cludes a large increase of the tariff on
wool, causing clothing and carpets to
cost the consumer more than exer, and
offers the farmer as solace an increase
of the tariff on butter, eggs barley
and buck wheat, which are i'm
ported in such small quantities as
not to affect the great mass OF the
farmers at all. The bill makes cut of
from 80 to 60 per cent. in the duty on
sugar and of p per cent. in the duty on
molasseS, because these reductions will
benefit the veal thy North and West at
the expense of the infant industries"
of the South, and because the tariff
on these articles was almost an entirely
revenue tariff, as distinguished from a
monopoly protectlng tariff. The tariff
on tin-plate is raised to prOhibitivc
point thereby cutting off entirely the
Sc. 900, 900 revenue which the Govern
ment has hitherto derived from that
source, and at the same time enabling
the infant tin-plate monopoly of this
country to double its prices if it
pleases. Such are the effects of intrust-
ing the reformation of the war tariff
to the scheming villains who first de-
vised it.
The important point in this bill is the
fact that it reduces the revenues of the
Government without reducing monopoly
protection" Its policy all the way
through is to build up and enrich the
Eastern manufacturers at the expense
of every other industry, and especially
at the expense of the Western farmer.-

OUTRAGEOUS FRAUDS.
Wicked Schemes Formulated by Selfish
Surplus busters.

Surplus busters.
Those organs which are pretending
that the proposed pension bills are for
the benefit of needy veterans, or which
are denouncing those who do not be-
ieve in squander1ng the peoples money
in undeserved payments to dcserters.
are sowing the wind and may reap the
whirlwinG. If it had ever been neces-
sary or proper for the people to pay
500, 600. 900 a year to the deserving pen
sioners, there would not have been a
voice raised against the most liberal APP
preparations. But when tits announced
that the pension rolls are to be increased
that the surplus may be dlSslpated:
when it is proposed that the safeguards
adopted by the Grand Army shall not
be applied in the payments of pensions:
when such blatherSkiteS as Tanner and
Dudley shall he foistcd upon the coun-
try as representatives of the soldiers. it
is time for honest citizens to take the
alarII, and speak for those who are really
deserving of the Governments attention.
Every name wrOngfully placed upon
the pension role is a disgrace to worthy
veterans. The long list of men who are
drawing from the Federal treasury
monthly stipends which have been
allowed by scoundrelly officials, forms
menace to the very existence of a
pension SYSTEM Il IS beyond the
bounds OF possibility that the people
will permit this disgrace to outlive the
term of the Earrison-Dudley admins

believe in the full performance Of the

A new BUSINESS METHOD.

s. H. Baynard has adopted new plan that
is now prevailing in western cities, whereby
the opportunity is given to procure a good
watch for a very low price, through the
agency of cooperative clubs. This plan Is as
follows: Clubs are composed Of forty men,
bers who pay one dollar fee, which payment
goes to the originator Of the plan. When the
club is formed they mutually agree to purchase
forty watches for the sum Of seven hundred
and sixty-five dollars. Each week thereafter
the members meet, and each pays one dollar,
at which time number Is drawn. which en-
titles the owner of such number to select and
and receive his watch. similar TO the old plan
of watch clubs, with the exception that upon
the drawing of a number further payment Of
that number cease. The remaining members
Qess one each week. continue their payments
and drawing for thirty weeks, when all pay
ments cease and the remaining ten members
receive their watches.
The watches so distributed are gold-hlled
case, made by James Boss, with either All El-
gin, Waltham. Springfield or Hampden move
ment, such as are sold all over our city for
thirty-fve dollars and which are fully war
ranted to give satisfaction. Clubs are now
forming and drawings viii commence Tues

tion and examination of the watches call at
