OUR CIRCULATING MEDIUM.

hundreds Of millions to our currency
and that of 1890 has added $3.50, 900. 600,

There is a scramble and a real race
now going on all over the South and
the West by the leaders in the two old
parties. Not for the good of the coun-

people; but the sole motive of the
move Is to save the party. And the

THE Mckinley WILLIAM,

The Manufacturers Club of Phila.
delphia has sent out a ''prosperitv
bowling" pamphlet, telling what great
things the Mckinley tariff law has
done for them, They claim that the
duties r not excessive. They further
claim that the "year 1892, the second
after the passage of the bill, was in
many respects the most prosperous in
the history of this or any other nation"
Perhaps it was for the protected manu-,
facturers. But the failures reported
were greater than any year since the
world began. Yet this lying pamphlet
says they were fewer than for any
year since 1882. Again they say that
the wages of American workmen are
higher than ever before. Well, gentle.
men, the tariff didn't do it. The Ameri
can workman has kept up his wages
by being organized.
Perhaps the most striking feature
about this circular is that they bring
forward the fact that farm products
r so much lower that the American
laborer has derived an increase in
wages indirectly by the reason that he
can live SO much cheaper. In that
way they rob Peter and pay Paul.
We make the above tariff arguments
for the benefit of our Democratic read.
ere, as the Democratic papers and poll,
ticians have gone back on the people
so far as tariff or any other reform is
concerned.

WHY THEY GET NO HELP.

Since ex Congressman Mckinley and
ex Secretary Foster have failed people
wonder why the men they have helped
to enrich did not come to their rescue.
Mckinley was the author of the in.
famous Mckinley BILL" which, &C,
cording to some authorities, is supposed
to be a gold mine for every manufac.
turer, and yet the manufacturers
didn't contribute anything to keep Nc
Kinley out of pauperism.
That is an easy question to answer,
If Mckinley ever received any help he
got it before the bill was passed and
then he YVES retired. He had served
his masters well. they ND longer
needed his services, he makes bad in
vestments, the financial stringency
comes, and all is over. The men he
helped get into a position to rob the
public arr no longer his friends, they
scorn him. Truly the way of the
t~ransgressor is hard. That reminds us
that certain traitors to the Alliance in
North Carolina are now serving their
masters. They are getting money or
a little cheap fame. Their day is com
ing and they will be scorned by the
men they are now serving.

WHERE IS THE GOLD7

Since the present administration in
sists upon retiring or destroying the
legal tender property, or quality, of
every other kind of money except
gold, we have been thinking over the
matter some, and have before us now
a copy of the report of the Comptroller
of the Currency for 1892. We find it
full of interest to ourselves, and we
think some parts of it would be exceed
ingly interesting to our readers. For
instance, we find on pages 158 and 159
a tabulated statement from all the ma
tional banks in the country, dated
Sept. 80, 1892, giving the amount of
gold and gold certificates in the nation
al banks on that day. We find there

case for the company. lie held that the ground
taken by the majority of the commission that the
company had exclusive rights. 50 that It's fran
chse OF valuc. was untenable. and the report
should b. set aside. The claim that the company
did not acquire right In tho nature Of a contract

that the charter Of the company granted to 1t an
exclusive franchise for the term OF It's corporate eX
istence. II was contract with the state. and the
United States Constitution provided that no contract
should be impaired by law. 1t WAS common Law
