THE hide AND HORNS AND ALL

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
Every time Fourth of July orator
reads the Declaration of American indie
pendence he ought to read the Mckinney
tariff bill until it is repealed.
Look at the cattle industry that Kan
sas is so greatly interested IN: the hide,
the hair, the horns, the hoOf, and even
the bones are on the free list, while
dressed beef is > cents a pound; how
unreasonable and inconsistent 1t is. The
bill was intended TO protect American
industries and furnish a revenue for the
government. In some cases an industry
is protected and little or no revenue is
secured. In other the revenue is all that
Is gained. No industry in America should
be sacrificed and sold for the paltry gain
the government will receive for II IN
money or by reciprocity for something
else
You will find as many articles that we
can grow and make in the free list as
there are in the protected list We had
better contribute one-tenth Of all we can
grow and manufacture to the support OF
the government than he deprived Of the
privilege OF growing ana making one
half 1t is a disgrace TO the American
people and a diScredlt 10 the po-
litical party 10 whom belong.
4 new bill should be framed for the
protection Of all our industries, great
and small, by making an import duty
or everything we grow and make to ex-
clude like foreign raw or manufactured
goods. and what we can not produce
should be taxed for the benefit Of our
market and that Is all there Is 10 II
Sectional party lines have no right TO
be drawn over these free and sacred
rights Of the American people. Give US
protection that we NAV h free; free 10
grow and make what God designed and
prepared for our use, and with the free

SMART JOHN.

In speech Tuesday. Senator Sher-
man remarked that the best money ever
devised by man is the American gold
and silver certificates.
Conceding that Mr. Sherman is right,
then why not the government buy up ali
the gold and silver of this country, pay
ing the market price from day to day,
and issuing the United States promise to
paw gold and silver certificates! And
why stop with buying up the gold and
silver of America? Why not keep right
on buying the precious metals and piling
them up in the sub-treasury vaults until
as country we shall have gotten cor
ner on the gold and silver of the world.
and all held as a reserve to redeem that
that which represents it, floating about
in the worlds commercial channels:
The certificates would be as good as gold
and silver, while in the event of war or
other trouble, we would be impregnable.
In fact, if the policy worked smoothly
and why shouldn't it-no other outside
nations could 90 to war with each other
without the consent of America.
This favorite policy was once
substantially urged by the EAGLE
upon the ground that, as a
circulating medium, gold and silver,
both being failures in these days of enor-
nous business transactions. and that as
they are not so used by one cent in thou
sands, the certificate plan with represen-
tative metallic reserves would in time
become the universal policy of nations.
As for the United States. up to the point
where the aggregate of the premiums
paid, in securing metal for certificates,
should equal the credit-security of the
government itself, there would he only
safety in such a policy, even if the
amount of such issue of gold and silver
certificates should prove one hundred
or three hundred dollars per capita, in
which event as against the markets of
the world America would be the richest
per capita possible, therefore, the most
prosperous country in the world. Of
course, the bullion and coin held as such
reserve, would draw no interest, and
would live only in the vol
ume of the representative GER
tificates, but the average loss and dis
truction Of such certificates would aggre-
gate a very large interest.
This would be but carrying into the
rule and life of our currency
the law which governs and
renders available and valuable the
ordinary securities of the CONNER
cial world, the only difference being
that the reserve in the latter instances
are interest and dividend caring proper
ties, such as railroads, factories, banks,
ETC., the value of whose capital stock
ever varies, while that held by the gov
eminent for the redemption of said GER
tificates or currency would not appecia-
ably vary, ever.

Judge Phillips of the L. S. district
court passed sentence upon Harmon,
publisher of the Valley Falls Lucifer, the
free love paper, sending him to prison
for one year. Harmon's otfense was the
placing of copies of his paper containing
matter forbidden by the postal laws OF
the government in the U. S. mails for
transmission. From the stand point OF
personal liberty per Sc the penalty may
appear extreme if not arbitrary. But
when it is remembered that individual
rights and liberty ends when the safety
and best interests of the community be-
gins. the finding and sentence OF the
court is fully justified.

A Timely Tip.

From the Globe-Democrat.
We would remind Senator Hoar that
when the god of battles smote the Union
cause on the field of Bull Run, neither
Col. Jack Dempsey nor Col. Bob tltz-
simmons. who pummeled each other SO
scientifically at New Orleans last night,
had opened his little eyes upon earth and
its mingled joys and SORROWS; and that
when victory perched upon the Union
banner at Appomattox, Col. Dempsey
and Col FItzsimmons were yet but
prattling babes. And if the gentle
reader asks what these chronological
and historical facts have to do with Sen
ator Hoar, our answer is, that we wish
with them to point the moral that
period of time long enough to convert
two pulling infants into two veteran
pugilists ought to be long enough 70
operate as a statute of limitation againt
the enactment of a measure like the
force bill.

THE INDIAN PROBLEM.
From Harper's Weekly.

From Harper's Weekly.
The first step is government just and
strong enough to keep its own word. 1t
engages to civilize and educate the In
dams, and it cannot do this under the
present system of partisan agents and a
political In ian service. Mr.. Remington,
in his late admirable illustrated Article
in the Weekly, proposes to turn over the
wild Indians to the war department, and
make semi-military organization in
the service of the government. General
Miles apparently favors the same DISPOSE
ton of them. Red Cloul says: 1.-The
Indian department has almost des-
troved us. Save us from IT,
Let the army take charge of us. We
know it can help us. Let it manage our
affairs in its own way" But II the
problem be to educate and civIllze the
Indians into citizens, would the work be
best accomplished by the war depart
ment? An Indian bureau which should
not be political machine would be
good beginning, and such bureau the
present commissioner would organize II
he could have his own way. With such
a bureau, with adequate appropriations
honestly devoted to their purpose, with
increasing schools and sympathetic
and friendly guidance, we should begin
to recover Indian confidence in our good
faith, which is the indispensable condl-
ton of any successful Indian policy eI-
cept war and determination.

THE DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP

There is with the opening of this year
of 1891 something that looks very much
like an organized attack upon Cleveland
as a Democratic presidential candidate.
That of course is something which every
prominent man must expect, and until
it exceeds the bounds of justice or de-
cency, he has no right to complain.
Cleveland has been exceptionally for
tunate, in the past; the very stars in their
courses have fought for him, but thele
does not remain now so very much time
in which toelect candidate and in very
little more than a year from today, it
will be practically decided who the two
great parties incline to.
About seven weeks remain to congress;
seven weeks in which the statesmen of
either party may strike attitudes and
bare their breasts to the stroke Of the
presidential lightning, while each buries
his own shaft up to the feather in the
breast of any very promising rival.
Then after March comes the dull quiet
summer. succeeded by the short session
which brings us, almost before the real
ize the fact, TO 1892.
Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, and
Morgan, of Alabama, have taken time
by the forelock and have already each
shot his arrow at Cleveland and escaped
without wound.
Others now among the Democratic
leaders NAV follow their example, for
whoever overshrows Cleveland, in the
estimation of the party, may reasonably
look to succeed him.
The bows are strung, the knives are
keen and the fight for the nomination
seems on.
