NOT IN 1T,

The Tariff Will Not Be the Issue in the
Momentous Conflict of 1892. =
The papers that are always claiming
the tariff as the only issue in the next
campaign have been repeatedly chal-
lenged through these columns to show
that the tariff could be reduced 20 per
cent and the expenses of the govern.
ment met without a special or direct
tax to meet the deficiency. None have
accepted the challenge or dared to
make the ISSUE The reason is very
substantial and good why they failed.
It could not be done. Here is the
demonstration The total revenue
of the government for 1880, was in
round numbers $4O3, 600, 900. Tariff
dues yielded 10000 900 of this
amount Deduct 20 per cent of the
tariff dues, or $45, 900, 900, and there
would be left a total revenue of $685..
100000 The ordinary or current exJ
penses of the government for 1890, were
$31S, ,000 Deduct $685. 900, 900 from
1856. 600, 600 and there would remain
$37, 1000, 900, in excess of revenues for
1890 But the billion dollar cob
gress appropriated billion dollars
I'LL GAc purpose u uepleClnR the
treasury and rendering it impossible to
reduce the tariff, and that was effectual
in wiping out not only this $37, 900, 900
excess, but also all the surplus in the
treasury. With the increased expendi-
ture of the government made by the
last congress, it will require every cent
of the revenue now received by the gov
eminent to meet the expenditures of
1891. This increase of expenditures
has been in pensions and salaries, and
cannot be cut off, and the same condi-
ton will obtain in 1892. Now what is
the sense of making this bold pretense
and ridiculous claim that the reduction
of the tariff is the issue and must be
the issue, when it cannot be reduced
until the expenditures of the govern
ment shall first be reduced. No issue
is made on reducing the expenditures
of the government, for neither party
claims that it intends to do this It is
impossible to have an issue on ques-
ton where the matter involved, which
comprises the issue. is impossible of

TWO OF A KIND.
The Two Old Parties Alike on the Financial
Question.

The Two Old Parties Alike on the Financial
Question.
Greenbackers have always claimed
that there was no real difference be-
tween the leading and controlling ele-
ments of the two old parties on the
financial issues. Their utterances and
their actions have proved it. Harper's
Weekly says there is no difference be-
tween them except as to who shall
hold the offices. We think this is the
size of it. They have seven principles
the five loaves and the two fishes.
But we have some new evidence on this
point. by a leading republican paper,
that the repu blicans around here take
as their political testament. 1t is from
the st. Louis Globe Democrat of Au-
gust 20, and is as follows:
cleveland is right on the silver ques-
ton. The only difference between
Harrison and Cleveland on the silver
question is that the former has the bet
ter way of stating the views which
they mutually entertain against the
heresy of free coinage"
There you have il, straight from
headquarters A leading and control
ing republican paper says that Cleve-
land is right on the silver question.
Mr.. Carroll. of the Davis County Re-
publican, believes so, too, but he hasn't
quite enough courage to say SO. Little
By little, but very steadily, the evidence
is accommodating that the old green
hackers were right all the time, and

SHYLOCK'S TWINS.

If any one doubts the ultimate pur-
pose of the bosses of the two old parties
to unite against the people, let him
peruse the following from Judge N. c.
Mcfarland, one of the most prominent
of Kansas republicans, who was for
several years commissioner of the gen
eral land Office at Washinton, D. c.:
II am glad to notice that in some
places the republicans and democrats
are uniting to arrest and overthrow the
so-called peoples party. I am not
democrat-am not fond of the demo-
cratic party, but at the coming election
would cheerfully vote for democrats
to defeat the peoples party, and es-
peciaily so when such men as Judge
Humphrey are agreed upon. The state
The great West. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1889-18??, 1891-11-20

of Kansas would get along with low
tariff, frequent defalcations and laws
poorly administered; it might exist even
with saloons, but if the views of the
peoples party should prevail, and the
men, or the kind of men, now at the
front of that party should continue in
the lead, where is the man of sense who
would care to say that Kansas is his
state, either by birth or adoption?"
This Kansas patriot(?) would prefer
democracy, high tariff, low tariff, fire.
quent defalcation and laws poorly ad-
ministered; he would even prefer sa-
loons-anything, rather than that the
people should rule the country. Such
is the republicanism of Kansas to-day.

per head of population, or 1925 for every
family in the state.
The bulletin is chiefly devoted to an
attempt to break the force of the fig
ures, which, while probably an under
estimate, are without a parallel. An
average debt of 1926 on every family
in an agricultural state is crushing
burden, even were there no interest
charges, but without a full considera-
ton of the table of interest charges
given on page "a of the bulletin it is
impossible to realize the gloom of the
Kansas situation. From this table,
which gives the rates of interest from

. interest at various rates

Interest rates of 10 per cent. and over
were paid on SO. 10 per cent. of the gross
amount secured by land mortgages
during the ten years, and it will be
noticed that of the amounts bearing in
terest above 10 per cent there, were
$50, 537, 1888 bearing the Shylock's usury
of IL per cent. On debt of $32, 500, 900
at this rate of usury, the unfortunate
debtors pay in ten years s39, 600, 900, or
So, 500. 600 more than the principal at
the end of that time.
When the foreign exchange value of
Kansas produce is taxed down 81 per
cent by the republican tariff on return
cargoes, and when it is paying these
outrageous rates OF usury on the debt
thus forced on its farmers, it is hardly
to be wondered that it is to be tempted
to grow impatient when the republican
party insults and ridicules it for pro-
teSting.-St Louis Republic.

time been intense, ceased. In four days
the patient was at work again. The
