How THE PARTY ECONOMIES.
Methods Adopted by the Secretary of the
Treasury.

Methods Adopted by the Secretary of the
Treasury.
1t is announced in an administration
organ that the president was greatly
displeased to learn the facts regarding
the dismissal of workmen from the
government employ without payment
of their wages due. 1t is further al
legged that Mr.. Harrison promptly re
bulxed the officials alleged to have been
responsible for this act. But the more
recent publication of the monthly
treasury report will create suspicion
that the president was initiating Mr..
Pickwick in his angry denunciation. 1t
is embarrassing for the administration
to face the results of it's party acts.
The vanishing surplus has been the
canse of anxious discussion among
those friendly to the levy of higher
taxes. The secretary of the treasury
seems to have accepted the advice OF
the party organs and attempted the
shining" dodge to tide over the
pinch. He has at his command S34 :
STA. 1913 as a stated balance. In this Ia
included as usual the S13, 900, 900 of
subsidiary coin which the secrt-
tary has just notified congress is
unavailable, and about $4,000, 900
more of totally unavailable funds.
Considering the monthly demands
of the dissipated trust fund for
the redemption of bank notes, there is
little cause for wondering at the
anxiety Of the secretary to prevent the
payment of claims until absolute neces-
sity presses. 1t is not pleasant show
ing, and is becoming worse every
month. Chicago Times. J.

The word honeymoon" is traceable
to Teutonic origin. Among the Teu-
tons was favorite drink called meth
eglin.' It was made of mead and
honey, and was like that of the Eu-
ropean countries. These honeyed
drinks were used more especially at
marriage festivities, which were kept
up among the nobility one lunar month,
the festive board being well supplied
with s'methegiin- t'Honahmoon" sig
nified the moon or moonath of the mar
rage festival. Alaric, the Goth ceie.
brated by Southey's poem, died on his
wedding night from too free indul-

WHAT DEMOCRACY MEANS.
1t supports the Right OF the Garner to
fiia Earnings.

1t supports the Right OF the Garner to
ma Earnings.
When American democracy ceases to
mean the lowest possible taxation on
the people it will be meaningless.
Every dollar of tax that goes into~-the
federal treasury from any source what.
ever is dollar taken from the earn
ings of the productive labor of the
country, and when these taxes are
tariff taxes, levied to prevent exchange.
they rob the Garner OF three dollars for
every dollar that goes into the treas
urv.
Opposed to all nnneeess ary taxation
fTasn ssissffs
oppose unnecessary tariff taxation
most because it robs the Garner most
From the very first the democratic
party has maintained the sacredness of
the right of the Garner to his earnings
and has denied the right of government
to take from him any part of them not
absolutely necessary for economical
governmentsftst stands fort this prin-
ciple because it stands for individual
liberty; for where government can
take away earnings for other purposes
than those of keeping the peace and
administering justice the people arc
slaves. A slave is an Garner whose
earnings are legally taken from him
for the benefit of others, and the pur.
pose OLA tariff made high enough to
stop trade is to make slaves @ofthe
earuers OF the country. This is its
effect as well as its purpose.
The fight the democratic party has
been making for the lowest possible
tariff taxation is fight for freedom.
1t is not fight that can be abandoned
Democrats will never face to the rear
on it. Before they would do so they
would sacrifice every democrat now
holding office, and if to get the Offices
again they were obligeaS5oaab andon
this'fight they would abandon the Of
fees instead. They want the offices
merely as means to an end-the end
of embodying their principles in tbs
laws and policies of the federal gov
eminent.
1t seems possible that in the imme.
diate future the democratic party,
through internal treachery, will be-
come more seriously involved than il
has been in many years. But under all
circumstances its way lies forward.
and the way to get forward is to fight
