BENEFITS OF THE NEW TARIFF.
Political Prospects, Entertained BY Level
Headed Business Men.

Political Prospects, Entertained BY Level
Headed Business Men.
These are illustrations of the benefits
which are already being conferred by
two sections of the new tariff that have
not yet gone into full effect: The duty
on tin plates has not been changed at
all as yet, and viii not be until July 1,
and the duty on finer linens will not be
changed for three years, and yet these
provisions of the law are causing the
establishment of important works al
ready. It might have been supposed
that the votes in November, If deemed
reason for refusing to put up new
works under any provisions of the new
act, would with peculiar force deter
men from acting in the hope that pro-
visions would be maintained which are
not to go into effect for some years
But level-headed business men evident
ly have different idea of the political
prospects from those entertained by
free-trade rainbow-chasers.
II such results as have been men,
toned already follow these provisions
of the new act, it may be inferred that
others which have already gone into
full effect are producing development
of manufactures in many directions.
And this is the fact. In a recent glance
through the trade papers received in a
single week mention was observed of
no less than fifty new works in progress
or about to open, including some OF
large Importance. In addition many
establishments whicht have been idle
for long time have gone into active
operation again, particularly in the
wooden manufacture. The people who
made haste to pronounce the Mckinley
act dead, or about to be repealed, may
as well wait little to see what the
country thinks of its actual workings

DEMOCRATIC DISHONESTY.
Millions of Money Stolen by Democrats
In Oaice.

While the average Democrat would
resent the charge that he is not as well
fitted 10 handle the public funds as the
average Republican and ascribe such a
reflection on his moral nature to parti-
san bigotry, the fact remains, neverthe-
less, that many Stats Treasurers are go
ing wrong, that millions of State money
are being stolen and that the thieves
are uniform Democrats.
The latest manifestation of the DEM
ocratic mania for embezzling the peo-
Piles funds appears in Arkansas where
''Hon. Billy" Woodruff is reported to be
be S61. 900 short in his accounts. The Dem
ocratic Avalanche of Memphis, Tenn, in
announcing Mr.. Woodruff's little short
coming remarks that he has advanced
the funds of the State to individuals to
invest in private business enterprises"
This is the second experience of this
kind, with Democratic treasurer, to
which the people of Arkansas have
been subjected. Treasurer Churchill, a
few years ago, set the example for Mr..
Woodruff by stealing some Ss0,UOO.
The recent fall of Honest Dick
Tate, of Kentucky, is still fresh in the
public mind. State Treasurer Archer,
of Maryland, was also guilty of en-
bezzling large sum. Treasurer Burke,
of Louisiana, was the biggest rascal of
them all, his stealings reaching we'll up
toward million dollars. State Treas
urer Polk, of Tennessee, despite his
name and ancestry, managed to make
way with nearly half million. State
Treasurer Hemingway, of Mississippi,
was, next to Burke and Polk, third on
the list so far as the size of his shortage
was concerned. while State Treasurer
Vincent, of Alabama, made a very
good showing, occupying fifth place.
State Treasurer Nolan, of Missouri,
concludes the list with comparatively
petty shortage.
The list of good Democrats who be-
trayed their trusts and the sums lost to
the people during the past five years
are as follows:

DEMOCRATIC GAG RULE.
Terms by Which the Democrats Stigma
tie Republican Measures.

tize Republican Measures.
People are not deceived by Demo-
cratic bluster about gag rule in the
Senate. They know what awful liars
the Democratic papers are. When a
bill, intended to put an end to Bourbon
force and fraud at Southern elections
is proposed, they called it a force"
bill. Force bill'' applied to the lodge
election bill is misnomer, unless the
bill is to be named from what it is in
tended to overcome. The cloture rule
in the Senate, which without depriving
any one of the right to speak and to be
heard, provides for the suppression of
unreasonable prolongation of debate, is
by the same kind of logic called gag
rule. But the Democrats can be de-
pended upon to howl the most when
the proposed measure is the best.
The new rule to close debate is
eminently just and proper. It meets
not only with the approval of Repub-
licans, but of the business men of the
country. 1t is business rule applied
to National legislation. 1t provides
that the members, Republicans and
Democrats, shall be allowed reason
able time" to discuss any measure. Dis
cussiOn under this provision will no
doubt be allowed to continue until it
becomes manifest that it is being
carried on merely to obstruct legisla-
ton. The debate may then be ordered
closed, andGfter such order each mem
Der may sprak for thirty minutes more,
Surely that Is liberal enough for any
legislation.
That is all there is to the gag" rule
that the Democrats are bowling and
lying about. And yet the Memphis Ap-
peal Avalanche came out few morn
ings ago, and in double loaded editor
ial announced that: ''The response of
the South to the cloture resolution
should be an appeal to arms" Think
of that That is the New South that
cries peace, peace" when the North
talks about honest elections in every
part Of the country. That is the New
South-willing to appeal to arms be-
cause they can no longer obstruct legis-
latioH, because the majority and not the
minority shall rule in the Senate and in
the Nation
But Republicans need not become
alarmed. The Southern bulldozers are
powerful to intimidate, but no sensible
man need be afraid. Senator Edmunds
in an interview recently stated the
truth about the matter. He said: Il
am sure that the country, when it un-
derstands the precise scope and force of
such a rule, that it means that the rep
resentatives of the country have the
power to do what the country thinks
ought to be done one way or the other,
after every member of the minority
shall have had the opportunity to state

in 1877, $4,000 in 1898, sl59 900 in ,, SIS 900 in
1903 and as. 900 in 1909
The Auditors report shows that s5Se 900 of
this amount is owned by the permanent
school fund, and 5000 by the State uniyers-
ity fund, leaving amounts of bonds owned,
outside of the State funds, s256,000.
Under an act of the Legislature of 1887,
whereby the State assumed the payment of
certain guerriIla-rai claims, certificates of
Indebtedness, the principal of which aggre-
gates S352, $685. 81, have been issued by the
Auditor of State. This, less the first INSTALL
ment of ,35, 1869 paid, with the bonds before
mentioned, constitute the total State debt.
SUGAR BoUNTIEs.
Bv the act of 1887 as amended by the act of
1883, provision was made for payment of a
bounty on sugar manufactured in this State,
from beets, sorghum, or other sugar yielding
canes, or plants, grown In Kansas, TO the
amount of two cents per pound, but 10 ap-
preparation was made to carry out the pro-
visions of the act Under this law, CLAIMS
against the State have been filed with the
Auditor by a number of companies, for the
years 1888 and 1880, which will be presented
to the proper committees of your respective
bodies, for such adjustment as good faith re-
Quires.
While the purpose of the Legislature was
doubtless wise at the time, in view of the late
act of Congress revising the tariff schedules
and giving bounty of two cents pound on
all sugars manufactured in the United States,
as an equivalent for the duty removed, the
question is presented whether the bounty
offered By this State should not be repealed.
MUNICIPAL INDEBTEDNESS.
The Auditors report exhibits the muni-
cipal Indebtedness of the State in detail,
county, city, township, village, board of ed
ueation and school district, the grand total
on the first day of July, 1890, being So Jig 977
80. This is divided among the several muni-
cipalitles, as follows: County bonds and
warrants, sl5,23I ,604.sS; township bonds and
warrants, ss,OsO, ,l30.22; city bonds and war
rants, s. 900, ,Ie426; school district bonds and
orders, Si,9J7, ,477.9s. The amount in sinking
funds July /, 1890, was s62s, ,3I695, leaving
net total municipal Indebtedness on that
date of S36.49l ,66O3S.
On the first of July, 1884, the municipal in
debtedness of the State amounted to 81 $751;
$685. On the first of July, 1896, il was ST.
779 299.42. On the first of July, 1888, II had in
creased to S3l ,1O7 ,6i690. On the first of July,
1890, it had reached the sum of So, lis, ,977.33,
less the amount in sinking funds, as above
stated.
LOCAL TAXATION.
Municipal Indebtedness suggests local tax
alton, a burden voluntarily contracted by
the people of the various municipalities in
bonds voted to aid railroads and other pub
lie improvements. The amount of taxation
levied for all purposes on the assessed valu-
alton for 1870 was l3,4S2, ,3l9.9j as follows:
state 81, IS, ,TS4s0: county, 4li5, ,234.2 20; city,
S2,05i, 1850; township, Sl.i5T SAL, and
school. 81 ,23S ,9S4s4, or an average of S3.I2
upon each SlO9 of assessed value.

1t will be noticed that all these defal-
cations have occurred in Southern
States where the Democratic party is
supreme. They have been SO numerous
that they are more than a mere COIN
eidence, and suggest some special cause
which has operated throughout the en-
tire Southern section. They can not be
laid at the door of ''carpet-bag govern
ment;" for the South is enjoying home
rule. Nor can they properly be charged
to Ignorant black rule" for every
Southern State government is in white
hands and every treasurer who has
plundered his State is a white. They
are due, doubtless, to the opportunities
which Southern politics offer a rascal
to get to the front and remain there;
not only to plunder the people but TO
carry on and conceal the crime for a
considerable time. Many of the most
popular Democrats in the South to-day
are those who have come into power on
the race issue. Vagabonds of all kinds
have worked this race issue for all it is
worth, and played on the fears of the
white people. The conflict of the races
has bred unhealthy politics. Combined
with this the absence of all effective op-
position to the rule of the dominant
party has naturally led TO machine poll
tics of the worst kind Repeated re-
nominations and reflections have
facilitated the operations of the "Hon-
est Dicks" and Honest Billys' in
plundering the people.
The triumph of Governor Tillman in
South Carolina is good sign if for no
other reason than it means opposition
to the powers that have so long ruled.
Two elosely-matched forces in politics
are conducive to the good of any State;
and with more triumph like that of
Tillman's there would be fewer short
ages among the State treasurers-Al-

AppOrtionnent.

The Constitution requires an apportion-
ment of the State for the purpose IF repre-
sentatiOn in the Legislature once in five
years, based upon the census of the preced-
ing year. The last appOrtiOnment having
been made at the special ssion of 1885, it
becomes your duty to reappOrtion the State
at the present session.
Eighty eight counties only are now repre-
sented. Eighteen counties. organized since
the last apportionment in 1886, have ever
since that time been excluded from a voice
in the law making branch of the state Gov
ernment. Membership in the lower house is
limited by the Constitution to one hundred
and twenty five. the present number. The
admission of eighteen counties to represen-
tat!on, which of course must be granted, will
give us one hundred and six organized coun-
ties, each entitled to at least one representa-
tive, provided it cast two hundred and fifty
legal votes at the next preceding election.
This will leave but nineteen members to be
distributed on the basis of population. Re-
lief from this very serious difficulty can
come only through an amendment to the
legislative article of the Constitution. The
apportionment article should also be amend
ed so that the time for re -apportionment will
always fall during a regular session of the
Legislature.
