MORE MONEY.

The gold papers ridicule the idea that the
country needs more money. What the pub
lie want. they say, is more confidence. A
very little money will do If people have con-
fidence. 1t is urged that United States
bonds drawing per cent interest command
premium which reduces the rate of inter-
est to 2 per cent. 1t is stated also that mu-
nicipal bonds in some cases are in demand
at 3 per cent. When money seeks invest
ment at these low rates it cannot, the gold
advocates say, be very scarce. But the very
fact of lack of confidence in the general
business world drives money to seek such
investments as Government bonds afford.
The element OF distrust in the business
world is that there is not real money enough
in the banks to secure the currency that
may be presented for redemption. That
distrust is apparently well founded. The
small sum of Sc, 100000 brought from Lon
don to REINFORCE the banks stock of gold
was regarde as a permanent and positive
relief. And yet S6,000.000 is a trifle COM
pared to the daily transactions in which
currency based upon gold is used. An East
ern contemporary says that the increase in
banking facilities operates as substitute
for money to an enormous extent So long

to handle cash. But the moment the idea
gets about that checks do not represent cur
rency lying at the bank or that the cur
rency, if paid on presentation of the check,
cannot be turned into coin the check loses
its standing as currency. Banking facili-
ties may dispense with the actual handling
of cash, but only SO long as there is a gen.
eral belief that checks represent money
living at thu hanl, and suhiect tn tho nrder
of the party whose name is attached to the
check. Banking facilities are of real value
to the business community only so long as
credit is good Banking facilities cannot
multiply hard dollars. When lack of con-
fidence shows itself it can best be overcome
by show of specie in proportion to cur

IS IT A CHALLENGER

President Blackstone, of the Chicago and
Alton Railway Company, regards the COM
bination of railway companies which Jay
Gould has engineered as kind of challenge
to the Farmers Alliance. Mr.. Blackstone
thinks such combination at this time
inexpedient. Farmers Alliances are not
likely" he adds, 90 to view with equanimity
the formation of an association backed by
Eastern capitalists, which they look upon as
inimical to their interests" The view which
Mr. Blackstone entertains is shared by men
who have no railroad interests to protect.
The time does not seem opportune to form IA
great railroad trust, one object of which is
the advance of the rates of passenger travel
and freight. 1t is also possible that the rail-
way association forming at this time will
induce men to act temporarily with the
alliance who have no faith in some Of its
projects. 1t may be that in this case Mr..
Blackstone is wiser than Mr.. Jay Could
though the latter is sharp enough to take
care of himself. If he sees storm gathering
he will quietly unload.

BUSINESS AND PARTIES.

An Eastern Democratic contemporary dis
poses of the argument of Republican jour
nal that the existing financial furry was
caused by the success of the Democratic
party at the recent elections by the asser-
ton that every one knows that the election
did not give power to the Democrats to re-
peal or in the least degree to alter existing
financial legislation for years to come. The
assertion IS not strictly correct. Within
less than a year from the present time
the Fifty-second Congress will be in ses-
sion with an overwhelming Democratic
majority in the lower House. and a very
small Republican majority in the upper
House. Il is well known that three Re-
publican Senators voted against the Nc
Kinley tariff, ard the inference Is fair that
they would support not too radical meas
ure to succeed it Should the two Houses
agree upon tariff bill at the next session,
Presidential veto only would then stand in the
way OF its becoming law. Whether or not
the President would veto bill that seemed
to meet public approval on the strength Of
his own views of its impo!icy is a matter
upon which no opinion can be expressed. 1t
appears, however, that after the November
elections a reasonable prospect of the repeal
OF the Mckinley Tariff Bill presented itself
TO the average business mind. Now, the
country had just passed through two years
of business uncertainties. The Republicans
pledged themselves in 1888 to revise The then
existing tariff That pledge was kept late
in 1889. TIE result of the elections taking
place a month later indicated another two
years of uncertainty. The country knows
what the Fiity-first Congress did. What will
the Fifty-secJnd Congress do? What is the
Democratic party pledged to do? Can any
one define the probable Democratic policy
in the event of its continued ascendency?
Does it favor a tariff for revenue only. or
absolute free trade? The bare possibility
that either policy would prevail was a warn
ing to business men to put their houses in
a-dar

FOR PARTISAN EFFECT.

The debate in the House en- the Appor-
tonment Bill leaves little do ubt of the pur-
pose of the attack upon the census. The
Democrats want to defeat the reapportion-
ment at the present session of Congress. To
carry their point they have made an attack
all along the line. New York has been the
most persistent in its demand for a recount.
and is very properly represented in the de-
bate by man named Spinola, who pro-
nounces the letter of the Secretary of the
Interior to Governor Hill the letter of a
blackguard unworthy to emanate from
any man calling himself gentleman" An
Ohio member is angry because the census
reports Illinois as the third State in the
Union. The Ohio Representative is con-
fident that Illinois had not grown so rapidly
as reported, nor had Ohio fallen off as was
made to appear. As both Illinois and Ohio
are classed as doubtful States, the political
purpose in advancing one at the expense OF
the other is not apparent. Representatives
from other States joined complaints against
the census Mr.. Dunuell who has charge

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

In Boston the municipal election takes
place about a month after the State election.
One consequence is that municipal tickets
are supported partly on their merits. In
1888 Mr.. o Brien, the Democratic candidate,
was defeated, although the Democratic
ticket had been successful the preceding
month by 5000 majority. The Republican
Joined with citizens movement, and nomi-
naied Mr.. Hart ON distinct pledge Of nom
partisanship in municipal politics. Mr.. Hart
found some difficulty in fulfilling his
pledges, mostly arising from the fact that
the Board of Aldermen and the Common
Council were generally composed of parti-
sans. Boston contemporary suggests an
amendment of the charter, making the Mayor
practically independent of the two boards 10
the matter of appointments, but this remedy
supposes that the Mayor W i'll be man who
may be implicitly intrusted with full p overs.
The Boston municipal elections are at best
but half separated from national politics
The municipal parties are designated by ma
tloDal rarity names. The bulk of both par
ties vote for the candidate nominated by the
party with which they act in national and
State elections. The instance we have given
OF Mr. Harris election over his Democratic
opponent Immediately after a Democratic
success shows that but five or six thousand
Dem ocrats voted the Republican and Ci.i-
Zens' ticket. What ci ties need is clear di.
Yorce from national parties. There is no rea-
son why municipal party should call itself
Republican or Democratic. The issues which
determine citizens relation to either of the
national parties do not enter into a NUM-
cipal election. Municipal parties should be
formed on municipal lines. So long rs they
are named after national parties each will
rally to its support the voters of the national
party whose name it bears. Mayors, Super
visors and heads of departments will be
elected or defeated, as the case may be, as
representatives OF one of the national par

THE GOAL DUTIES.

The Alta argues seriously against the duty
on coal on the ground that such duty does
not protect any labor interest in California.
The duty was not placed on coal at the re-
quest of the people Of California. 1t was
voted for by representatives Of California on
the assumption that if their State protested
against duties that do not directly protect
our interests. the representatives Of other
