ceipts-it would not be matter for any
alarm, and the Government of the
United States would not have to go out
of business; but as matter of fact
there is no immediate danger of any
deficit at all. During the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1892, the receipts of
the Government were sos, 1888, 1902, and
its expenditures were 1851, 34S, $50. The
net cash balance in the Treasury at
that date was 1927 $50, 2oe. 3S, or, ex-
Guiding the gold reserve of 500, 900 900,
$27 ,050, 266.3S. The customs revenue
during the year was $177 1893 ,03I, an
average of $14, 1923, 1861 per month.
During the month of June the customs
receipts were $14, 618, 495, or more than
$500, 900 less than the average. During
the month of July the customs receipts
rose to ST., 205. 153, an increase over
June of over $500, 900. The receipts
for August and the fall months will in
all probability be still larger than those
for July. The customs rev. nue. for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1898, is not
likely to be much less than 5000 900, 900.
Not all the appropriations will need to
be expended during the year, and SEN
ator Allison, who is a safe and con-
servative authority, says that at the
end OF the year there will be a small
surplus.
A Democratic House OF Representa-
tives, with a knowledge that the esti-
mated revenue of the Government of the
fiscal year is about $455. 000, 900, has ap-
propriated sums amounting in the aggre-
gate to over $j07 900, 600. It's only excu SO
for this is that the Republican House OF
Representatives of the Fifty-first Con-
gress made permanent appropriations
amounting to nearly $4,000, 900 which
this House had to pay; so that left to
themselves" the Democrats would have
appropriated about 1928, 900, 600 Now,
the Democrats were perfectly free to
repeal these appropriations il they chose
Forty-eight millions of them were for
pensions, $500, 900 for redemption of
national bank notes, SO, 600, 900 was for
sugar bounties, and 1921, $50 was APP
proprlatod for the Worlds Fair.
These appropriations were not re-
pealed nor rejected by the Democrats,
but now they seek to repudiate them.
There is no telling, of course, what they
might have done If left TO themselves. :"
As they had only 80 ma; ority in the
House they were, of course, hampered
By the opposition and were unable to do
as they chose.
IL is perhaps natural that the Demo-
Gratis, who have had little experience i'm
ublic business, should b. incapable of
dealing with either a surplus or a deficit:
but the Republicans are frightened by
neither, and will, we suppose, admins
ter the government safely and econom-
ically for at least four years and n half
more.-New York Press.

The Tariff and Strikes.

Drowning men catch at strawsl
Probably that is the reason why the
Democrats are making such desperate
efforts TO show that the Mckinley bill Is
the real cause of the labor disturbances
in Pennsylvania and Idaho, and that the
only possible relief is by restoring the
Democrats to power and so obtaining
the much Wanted blessings of Free
Trade"
The natural inference from this would
be that under Cleveland's administra-
ton there were fewer strikes than under
HarrisCns.
What are the facts?
In the first half year of McKinleyism
we find two strikes in Mckinley pro-
tected" textile industries in Connect
cut.
In the corresponding six months OF
Clevelands administration there we're
four strikes in the clothing factories,
six in the cloth mills and thirty mine In
the foundres OF the same State.
In New Jersey during the same period
there were two strikes in Mckinley
pro ected industries"

Tint Dreadful Deficit.

Four years ago it was the surplus that
troubled the Democrats. III it had been
the traditional man on horseback, y
they could not have been more thor
oughly frightened. President Cleve-
land wrote n message about it, in his
most ponderously elephantine style,
pointing out the grave dangers to which
it exposed the republic.
This year it is not surplus, but a
deficit that the Democrats are fright
ened a.. They say there Is danger that
there will not be money enough left in
the Treasury to pay current bills, and
that deficit stares the country in the
face. Surplus and deficit seem to be
almost equally terrible to them. They
do not know what TO do with either
If there should be a deficit of a few
millions-that is, if the expenditures Of
the Government during the fiscal year
should run q few millions over the re-

SOME of the Democratic papers are
evidently getting alarmed at the eff
fects Of the extreme declaration OF
their party's platform against the
policy Of protection, and they are re-
sorting to the poor and absurd device
of working their candidate against
their platform. They are trying to
make Mr.. Cleveland out to be "a mod
crate protectionist Democrat. Now,
if he is that sort Of Democrat, what
sort of views would a moderate free
trade member Of the party Of Jefrer-
son, Jackson, Pierce, and Tweed en-

TIE speech Of Senator Aldrich, in
answer to that of Senator Vest, is
the most noteworthy defense Of pro-
lection, and especially of the McKin-
ley bill, that we have seen since the
great speech Of Gov. Mckinley on
reporting the bill that bears his name
1t bristles with facts and is eloquent
with the eloquence of experience. If
ever man was squelched in an ar
gument that man was Senator Vest.

take of Understanding the ability and

committed. All the documents needed

on the chief issues of the day are being
distributed. Some of the most effective
stump speakers in the country are COM
ing TO spread Republican doctrine and
revive and quicken Republican zeal
throughout the Western States.
The Democrats will find when their
assault on the Western Republicans be-
gins that every part of the line is well
guarded. They.can make no conquests
in Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Min
NJ sofa or Iowa. The interests OF the
Republicans in those States seem to be
adequately defended. 1t is altogether
likely that the party lead in none of
them will be as broad as it was in 1888,
yet undoubtedly it will be sufficient for
all practical purposes. In Kansas, Ne
braska and the Dakotas the Democrats
and third party men appear TO believe
that victory is within their reach,
but to the Republicans the situa-
ton is not at all discourage
ing. The prospect at this dis ance

these States. Colorado is no longer
doubtful, for the silver men are more
hostile to Clevelan1 than they are to
Harrison. Nobody need be surprised if
the Republican majority in that State
this year is larger than it was in 1888
Wyoming and Idaho, which are also in
fuenced, to some extent, by the silver
Issue, are safe for the party. SO, of
course, are Oregon, California, and Ne
vada. The only Northwestern State
which the Republicans have much
chance Of losing is Montana. But in
that State, as we'll as in the oder and
larger ones, the Republicans will make
vigorous canvass. They will nowhere
and in no particular trust to their pre-
pondCrance in tho past for victory in the
present. They will, all through the
West, go to work with the same earnest
ness and activity in the campaign as if

If Chairman Carter had dared to
hold on to the Office Of Land Com
missioner while engaged in directing
the movement of the Republican
campaign, the Mugwumps and other
hypocrte reformers would have
sprained their Threats in denouncing
his action as wicked and subversive
of good government. The spectacle,
however, of Chairman Harrity cling
ing with vise-like grip to the fat
Office OF Secretary of the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania while he de-
votes nine-tenths of his time to
booming the cause OF Cleveland and
free trade, strikes these pious souls
as being eminently proper and cor
rect. The Mugwump ear is so large
and so finely attuned that it can de-
tect a difference between tweedle-dee
and tweedle-dum without the aid Of

AS YET there is no evidence that
Mr.. Cleveland's large and justly cell
ebrated personal comfort is going
to play any prominent part in the
campaign. This is indeed gratifying,
and it indicates steady progress in

it has taken Mr.. Cleveland eight
years to discover that there is not nor
ever will be any personal comfort in
