NO RELIEF IN ECONOMY.


Cleveland Leader.
President Cleveland tells Congress
that he would like to have rigid economy
tried as one Of the means of bringing
government expenditures down to the
level of what the New York Sun truly
calls tariff "for deficiency only" This
is the Holman idea. stated the other day
in an interview by the veteran cheese
parer from Indiana. 1t is also the view
of the situation which is taken by GER
tain Democratic newspapers.
Nevertheless, of all possible ways Of
avoiding deficit at the end of every
fiscal year, none is so utterly hopeless as
the cutting down of government eX-
penses by S50,000,000 a year or more.
To do this it would he necessary to lop
off superfiuous officeholders in every
department of the public service, not
merely those unnecessary from the easy
going standard of politicians but every
man who could be spared if all govern
ment employees were compelled to do as
much for as little pay as the rule is in
private life. To institute any such
change would make active enemies of
many thousand of officeholders and of
much greater multitude of place-seekers,
and it need hardly be said that there is
no capacity in the Democratic party for
any such display of courage. A little
money may be saved, as compared with
the recent expenditures of the govern
ment, by cheating pensioners out of a
scanty support, by neglecting to
strengthen the navy, and in other
directions by pinching the business of
the country. This, however, will by no
means make good the loss in revenues
which the enactment of the proposed
tariff bill will cause, and as for general
and thorough going economy,o of the kind
practiced in private life, that is not to
be hoped from Democracy.

We are sorry for the fellow who
could write anything like the above.
1t simply shows his littleness OF
soul and narrowness Of intellect.
La the first place, the statement is
untrue, and we defy the writer to
produce the article. The CAUCA-
SIAN never whines, it is not built
that way. In then place THE
CAUCASIAN is not dependent for ex-
istence upon advertising We are
not seeking advertisements, and will
take only limited number. The
space We can sell is limited, and
those who get it W Ii have to pay
for it what it is worth. A paper
with the circulation of THE eau
cAsIAN canno. afford to carry many
advertisements at any price, for
our readers subscribe to the paper
not for the advertisements 1t NAV
contain, but for the reading matter
that they expect. Our experience
is, that the fewer advertisements
we carry, the faster our circulation
increases. We feel safe in saving
that no other paper in this State
has ever increased in circulation as
rapidly as THE CAUCASIAN has for
the last few months, and during
this time the paper has had fewer
advertisements than any other pa
der in the State, but has been chock
full of live readiug matter. No.
gentlemen, we do not want any OF
your sympathy, as The CAUCASIAN
is able to take care of itself: or
the people will do it. We shall
tell the truth as we see it, and hit
hard ticks when justice demands
it, and there are enough people in
the State who appreciate this, and
will pay US dollar a year for it to
sustain The CAUCASIAN. The CAU-
cAsIAN Will push straight ahead,

England and Switzerland have
loaned money to the people to
help them pay for homes. why
cannot the United States do
the same? Have we any pre-
cedent in this country? Yes,
here it is:
Ths government now loans !:
/. To national banks at
per cent.
2. To deposit banks at no
per cent.
3. To Pacific RAILROADS at no
per cent.
4. To centennial exposition at
no per cent.
S. To New Orleans EXPOSE
ton at no per cent.
6. To whisky vendors at no
per cent.
To all Of these combinations
the United States loans money.
To some it actually loans money
and pays interest for the privil-
eye Of loaning at no per cent.
Leading constitutional lawyers
have stood in Congress and pro-
nounced all the loans eminently
constitutional.
We say this without regard
to any party of politicians who
favor or oppose it. If it be
done, and and at one or two per
cent. it would virtually abol-
ish the crime Of usury, the curse
upon which all our financial
difficulties are bottomed, the
underlying plank which up
holds all other monopolies.
But as the government cannot
loan to the people without Sc
curities there is necessitated the
sub-treasury or something SIM
liar. But they tell US this is
unconstitutional. Let rs see
now if we have not a precedent
for this also. The government
now provides storage accommo-
dation for
/. Silver bullion stored.
9. Gold bullion stored.
3. Bankers bond stored.
4. Importers goods stored.
s. Whiskey stored.
6. Silver coin stored.
7. Gold coin stored.
All these things are stored by
the United States government
as property of favored individ-
uals, free of any cost whatever,
and the most distinguished
leaders and lawyers of both the
Democratic and Republican
parties never yet raised the
question Of the unconstitution-
atty of these acts of the gov
eminent.
No one need therefore object
to this plan for increasing the
currency and affording the
needed relief. No Que would
lose a cent by it except the
usurer, who loans his money for

word Of God. See Nehemiah,

The Louisville Courier Jour

The Louisville Courier Jour
nal says:
"Since the result of the cleo
ton has been made known,
we have frequently heard ex-
pressions from our Third party
friends that if the Democratic
party failed to do anything for
the people now, it was hence
forth and forever silenced. Such
expressions create an impression
that the Government is to sup
port the people, instead of the
people supporting the Govern
ment. No private citizen has
any right to except anything
from the Government, except to
be taxed as highly as possible
for an economical administration
of the same.
"What does this mean? We
would like to know if a 'spri-
vate citizen" has not a right to
expect to stand on the same foot
ing as any other kinds of citizens
not private? Then we are to
understand that the only function
of Government is to tax the "pri-
vate citizen" We see now why
the Courier Journal is opposed
to an income tax. But let us
suppose that all citizens were
taxed alike, then is that the only
object of Government p? The OF
ject Of Government IS to protect
the lives, liberty and property
of citizens and insure to every
one an equal opportunity under
the laws. Taxation simply a
means-a necessary evil to secure
this end. The lightest tax
alton is wrong unjust and oppres
sive if it fails to secure this end
to all citizens, and especially to
the ''private citizen But un-
der the ightest system of taxa
ton and the most economical

alton are distinct and separate.
Does Mr.. atterson mean that
government should have moth
ing to do with finance, but leave
the whole matter OF issuing mon
ey to individuals and corporation?
This is one of the crimes of the
Republican party which reforms
and Mr.. Wa tterson also have
been condemning. No one ex-
poets the Government or the
Democratic party to support the
citizens, but expects it to guaran-
tee the just candidates under
which the citizens can support

OF their earnings to support them
