STRENGTH OF THE TREASURY.

In running debate on silver in the
United States senate, Mr.. Sherman de-
MED in most emphatic terms that he
had intended to stifle debate. He had
never objected to any senator speaking
at any time on any subject. Mr.. Sher-
man went on to defend the act Of 1890,
and said it would be made with proper
amendments) the fulcrum on which
rested the whole financial system of the
country. There was no bank in the
world so strong as the treasury of the
United States to-dsy-so strong in it's
ability to redeem every outstanding OBJ
legation. The proposition now was, he
said, to substitute free coinage for the
present system. That was practically
to take off 81 per cent from every PEN
sion granted by the government Of the
United States murmers Of disapproval
from the democratic side for the limit
would take off 81 per cent OF the labor
of every artisan who depended upon his
labor for his daily bread. It would take
81 cents from the debt contracted on
the basis Of gold value. The people of
the United States were beginning to
understand this. They were asked to
pay dollar for what they we're now
buying for 70 cents. The senators
would perceive that the question, as
now being presented, was different from
the one presented in the past. Not
only was he willing to discuss this
question, but he desired to have it dis
cussed.

We HAVE A UNITED PARTY.

From the Kansas City. Mo-, Journal
The rank and file of the republican
party, those who do the voting, are in
no considerable degree concerned about
the matter of candidate. There is no
Dave Hill or Grover Cleveland on the
republican side of the national political
fence. II President Harrison should
for any reason see fit to retire from his
place in tho field of candidates no en-
barrassing animosities would be engen-
dered thereby. The army of admirers
of Mr.. Blaine deeply regretted the with
drawal of their favorite, but the grand
line of the republican column was not
broken, nor did single voter drop out.
It will be the same way whoever may go
or come.
The greatest assurance Of republican
success in the national contest soon to
begin lies in the fact that the party is
united upon the principles to which it is
devoted. It is not q question of men.
It is question of the universal pros
perity of the people, assured for the fu-
ture under republican rule by the re-
suits of the administration of President
Harrison. Upon this point republicans
are united. They are proof against any
attempt to SOW dissension which the op-
position press may make.

A TRANSFORMED BOHEMIAN.

From the American Economist
In Bohemia, last autumn, came
upon young man selling souvenirs Of
Bohemian ores in the suburbs of Carls-
bad.
- In broken English he inveighed
against the Mckinley bill because it
crippled the pearl button workers Of
Vienna and the hosiery knitters Of
Chemnitz, just north Of us over the
mountains.
I thought he took wrong view of
our obligations; that our first and high
est duty was to our own people.
There is widespread delusion on this
subject prevailing in Great Britain and
on the continent, that America is some
how the predestined newer of wood and
drawer Of water for Europe.
Our new customs duties have given
q great shock to this delusion, and It
seems to me that the mckinley" tariff
is q second Declaration of American In
dependence, of industrial, as the the
first was Of political Independence.
Yours for American Industry,

BRITISH SEA-POWER FAT ALL
COSTS"

From the American Economist,
To those who take patriotic interest
in the British navy and the maintenance
Of British trade routes and coaling sta
tions, we recommend careful perusal
Of Captain Mahan's fascinating volume
on "The Influence of Sea-Power upon
History, 166O-17s3." Never, perhaps,
was the maintenance of this predomi-
mating power" more necessary to
us than at present. No Englishman can
read this book without an ever-increas-
ing conviction that British ''sea-power"
must be retained at all costs and against
all combinations. British commercial
supremacy has been attained through
''sea-power," and by ''sea-power" only
can that supremacy be upheld.--The
London Chamber of Commerce Journal.
The American ''reformers" who are
always ready tn shout ''unjust laws"
and especial privileges" whenever any
measure is proposed whose object is to
revive American commercial supremacy
ought to profit by this declaration.
British statesmen, with all their hered-
itary free-trade ideas, thoroughly un-
derstand the way in which this question
must be approached. British sea-power
must be retained at all COSTS" The
ubiquity of nations commerce, her
supremacy upon the ocean, is not a
thing to be measured in dollars and
cents. When will the Cobdenite learn
that9

citizens, and depreciation Of the cur
rency would therefore be of moro advan-
tage to them than to any body of indi-
vidual debtors. The liabilities Of the
railroad companies alone are about six
times as large as the national debt; and
the obligations of the savings banks and
trust companies aggregate half as much
more. These corporations would well
come the Glance to pay their bondhold-
ers and depositors in cheaper money
than that which is now required for the
purpose. They would make millions OF
dollars out of an opportunity of this
kind; and it wonld be made at the e1-
pense of creditors representing every
form Of industry and investment. That
is what an imitation Of the currency
really implies so far as the interests of
debtors are concerned.
This feature Of the matter is closely
related to that Of wages. Every labor
or is creditor to the extent of the
money that he earns, and the employer is
his debtor. The free coinage of silver
would give the latter the privilege OF
paying the former in deprecated cur
rency which would be equivalent to q
reduction of the amount promised for q
given service. A man need not be f.
nancial expert to understand this view
of the subject. He can see at a glance
that he would be loser by the substi-
tuition of cheaper form of money for
La - L. = Tho
same number of dollars would be paid
to him, but they would not be worth 80
much to him. They would not buy the
same quantity of the necessaries of life
that he now obtains. The laboring
classes are not in debt as q rule. It is
not practicable for them to incur serious
liabilities, and 80 imitation would be Of
little or no use to them for debt paying
purposes. Their interest lies in getting
q dollar that will buy the largest amount
of the articles that they need in the
support of their families. They are
paid at present in money that has
purchasing power equal to that of any
other in the world. The free coinage
project is intended to deprive them Of
this advantage and compel them to &C
cept currency Of inferior value. They
cannot afford to give aid or comfort to
q party that proposes to infict this in
jury upon them. The considerations of
personal profit are sufficient to justify
them in resisting the adoption of such
3 policy by all the means at their COM
mand. They are benefited in direct
and striking way by the existing cur
rency system, which has been estab-
lished and maintained by republican in
auences, and their intelligence will GER
tainly save them from the mistake of
tavoring destruction.

NOT POLITICS BUT PATRIOTISM.

Colonel Van Horn, in his editorial
correspondence from Washington, after
viewing the fact that the Behring sea
matter must now cease to be the chief
daily newspaper topic; and that the
democrats in congress have killed their
own silver bill, says: II suppose we
will have to go back to the bobtail tariff
bills that are to be given out from time
to time by Springers committee. May
some event not now foreseen relieve the
newspaper world and the reading world
as well from this oentury-old infection.
A tariff bill has no more business to be
q question of economical difference,
nationally, than has the policy Of stamp
ing out the pleuro- pneumonia Both
are matters Of detail, affecting the mar
kets for our own products, and have
really no political principle in them. II
there 10 principle at all Of difference it
il altogether patriotic cne-whether
we favor our own countrymen a. to the
product Of our labor, or whether We
favor foreign labor at their expense. As
q political question that Is all there is or
possibly can be in the tariff issue. The
practical question is the feature of reci-
prooity. It is q now policy, has been
but q year ON trial. and it is the policy
of tho republican party and on which It
is willing to 60 before the country.
This and this alone relieves the tariff
from its monotonous character and
brings something like advanced states
manship into tho field OF modern pol
tics.
