A SAFE FINANCIAL MEASURE

Senator PETER, the new Alliance SEN
redeeming the pledges he made for the
relief of the people before his election.
He has lately introduced bill in the
Senate ITO increase the circulating
medium by issuing treasury notes
based on gold and silver coin and bull
lion"
1t provides for the issue of Treasury
notes Ito an amount equal to three and
one-half dollars for every one dollars
worth of gold and silver coin and bull
lion belonging to the United States and
not specially set apart by law for apar
ticular purpose" These notes are to
"be at once deposited in the Treasury
and paid out as other public moneys
The Secretary of the Treasury is to
purchase in the open market, once a
month, all the gold and silver bullion
offered, at price not to exceed 81 for
23.45 grains of pure gold and 371.25
grains of pure silver, and pay for the
same with Treasury notes. During the
first five years of the operation of this
act the issue of such notes shall be in
the ratio of two dollars to one, after
ward three and one-half dollars to one.
These notes shall be redeemed with
coin or bullion at the option of the
holder" in silver or gold as determined
by the Secretary of the Treasury, who
is to give no preference to either metal
for any reason other than the interest
of the Government" The coinage of
gold and silver is to be suspended ex-
cept to the amount necessary for re-
deeming these notes. These notes are
to be legal tender, except that ''all
alien persons and others trading in the
ports of the United States as manufac-
turers, importers and traders shall pay
all dues from them to the United States
with gold coin or bullion"
In other words the bill provides that
the present plan by which s34O,OOO,OOO
of greenbacks are in circulation with
'impregnable credit" according to
Senator Sherman) by reason of $780,
100000 of gold held in reserve for their
redemption, shall be extended just as
far as the supply of gold and silver will
justify. Within 10 years or less under
this plan the nation can be supplied
with circulating medium to the ex-
tent of $50 per caput, in the most con-
venient and economical form (paper)
and not one dollar of it deprecated
At the same time the expenses of the
federal Government would be paid in
these notes almost without the need of
taxation. We notice, also, that the
Executive Committee of the Michigan
State Grange recommended this same
plan of financial relief at the annual
meeting last month

THE CASUS BELLI.

For sometime past there has been
incessant talk in the papers about wal
between the United States and little
Chill, because of Chili's alleged indis-
position to give satisfaction for certain
abuses heaped by Chileans upon a lot
of American sailors at Valparaiso last
October. The United States govern
ment has spent many thousands of dol
lars in fitting up warships and laying
in munitions of war and within the
week there have come reports from
Washington of an open declaration of
hostilities.
At the time the alleged outrages we're
committed on American sailors. the
dispatches sent to this country of the
affair by American correspondents.
gave it much the aspect of a drunken
row between American and Chilean
sailors, in which the former were the
worsted party, and the official report
lately received fl ON the Chilean govern
ment confirms this view. The conclu-
sions of that report are as follows:
"First-The unfortunate incident of
the 10th. of October originated in a
brawl between intoxicated sailors of
both nations. The riot grew in propor-
lions on account of the special ward in
which it occurred, full of houses of
bad reputation and saloons.
sSapoD1-Tha pnIionYnaD fro,,, Tho
first moment did all they we're directed
to suppress the riot. The correct
course of the police has been acknowl-
edged by every one of the witnesses
and of the American sailors except two
"Third-Only one isolated shot was
fired. 1t was from a revolver. The
police carry carbines."
1t will be observed from this that
the whole trouble originated III "a
drunken brawl between intoxicated
sailors of both nations" and that the
special ward in which it occurred was
full of houses of bad reputation and
saloons" Therefore whatever it costs
either or both nations in blood or
treasure, let it be remembered while
they are footing the bills that they
have the Valparaiso saloons to thank.
The District Attorney has indicted
three Chileans and one American, and
their trial will now follow. The inves-
tigation already held corresponds to
session of our Grand Jury, and all it
does is to bring the Indictment, after
which the regular trial proceeds. Un-
til the trial has been held, provided
there is no unseemly delay, it is diff
cult to see how the United States can
either insist ON reparation or take any
other action.

Total.

From this showing it will be seen
that "a of the 10 counties of the State
are under license and Al under Pro
hibition.
In addition to securing these lists,
The LEADER has given the relative
white and colored population of the
wet and dry counties, as shown by tn e
census returns of 1890 AS a whole,
these figures furnish an interesting
study to the champions of white SUI
premacy."

CARDINAL GIBBONS,

In letter few days ago condemning
the Louisiana Lottery, Cardinal Glib
bons used this language:
"A business whose plain. manifest,
inevitable result and influence on
the people is such. is indeed. an en-
envy to the peace and honesty of the
community, to the happiness and com
fort of home, and to individual thrift
and enterprise; AND TT is THE
DUTY OF EVERY UPRIGHT CITI-
ZEN AND EARNEST CHRISTIAN
TO AID IN IT'S DETHRONEMENT
OR SUPPRESSION"
How aptly that language fits the liq-
uor traffic as we'll as the lottery!
In another sentence the Cardinal
adds:
Worthy, then, of praise and COM
mendation are they who strive to quick
en- the public conscience and to array
public sentiment against the continu-
ance of the evil-who speak and labor
in behalf of their fellow-me by remov-
ing from their midst A DIRE ENEMY
TO THEIR MANHOOD, THEIR
HOMES AND THEIR PROSPERITY. -
Fight on, We brave and loyal soldiers
of the Prohibition army.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1892-01-21

1t is common for the lottery defend
ers to depreciate the making of the
question "a political issue" Indeed
this is the gravamen of the defense.
How else can the infamy be assailed?
Can a cancer be treated except by us
ing the knife?-ClariOn.
1t pleases us to hear the Clarion talk
that way. Some people will learn after
awhile that the liquor question is a
political issue, and mighty big one at
that, and that there is no effective
remedy for the cancer" except by
using the knife

TO THE LEGIsLATURE.

Gentlemen of the Legislature. suffer
us a few words with you. Youare call
ed upon, 10y virtue of your position. to
pass upon and fix the policy of this
State. under a new constitution. toward
the liquor traffic. Do not dodge. do
not shirk. do not falter. but meet and
settle the issue squarely on its merits
like men charged with great respon-
sibility.
The Constitutional Convention cvad-
ed its responsibility and trampled I'M
der foot the unanswerable memorial
published on first page of today
LEADER. because majority of its mem
bers claimed that they came to that
convention pledged to a policy of non
action on this question. You can make
no such plea. You cannot avoid action
if you would. The issue is upon you
and must be faced
The set you give to legislation on
this subject must be the fixed policy of
the State for four years at least. and
the probability is that it will be the ac-
cepted policy for a decade or longer.
How transcendently important. then.
that you make no mistake and fix that
policy on principles of truth and right.
The chapter on "DramShops" in the
new code. does not rise to the height
of the argument. That measure is com
promise with the saloons of the State
1t is a high-license measure and pro-
poses to divide the blood money"
raised from an infamous business be-
tween State, counties and towns, so as
to invest each with special interest
in fostering the traffic for the ''swag"
there is in it.
Again. we ask the Alliance men in
your honorable body. one of whose
chief watchwords is opposition to all
monopolies and special privileges, how
can they vote for such measure as
this. which not only proposes to invest
few men with a monopoly i'll GER
tain business. but business the most
arrogant. law-defying. hurtful and in
famous known to the State?
The Prohibitionists of Mississippi
are on record on this subject and in
their last convention declared opposi-
ton to all license, high or low This
chapter does not meet their demands.
It is not what they have right to eX-
oect of you 1t is an evasion of the
'eal issue, and dallying with momen-
Gus question.

iment is not ready for straight-out
