They are men who control very
large capital, and the country has
seldom in time Of peace been more
seriously menaced than it is by
their determination to control the
Treasury in the interest of their
attempt to control the gold supply
and force its price still higher than
the eXtravagant figure to which
they have forced it already.
Common sense and common JUS
tice demand that the certificates
of deposit issued on silver shall be
redeemed in silver. Storing silver
bullion in the vaults merely as a
means of increasing the demand
for gold is crime against the peo-
Pile, while this is being done it
is doubly crime to propose to Dor,
row gold at interest to be paid by
the labor of the country to the
shylocks who have captured con-
troll of the Treasury and have i'm
posed on. the country this policy of
using small gold supply as a
means of locking up silver bullion
in the vaults.

That Tariff on Tin.

When the Mckinley Tariff Bill
was under consideration, it was
confidently asserted that tin ore in
vast qualities and uncommon rich l.
ness existed in California and in
the Black Hills, and that the only
hindrance to the speedy develop
ment of these wonderful deposits
was the lack of the protection
granted by the bill under consider

The tin industry has not however
fulfilled the pledges of the projec-
tors of the scheme to create a tin
trust, and the whole fabric is about

nosphere.
What must be the feelings of Br.
Mckinley, when he is forced to
read in the report Of Special Agent

justify the duties on tin and

and Harney Peak mines have sus-
pended operations and that "inas-

PurseIl For Lieut.. Governor.

The Daily Blade of Portsmouth
in its issue of the 22nd, in a highly
complimentary article suggests
that it would be to the interest of
the Republican party to nominate
F. S. Pursell of this place for Lieu
tenant Governor.
We have no doubt but that Mr..
Pursell would add great strength
to the ticket of the g. o. p. and his
sunny disposition and eminent
ability would command a large
personal following, but Col. Pursell
cannot accept.
We have had a long and conf
Dental interview with Bro. Pursell
In the course of which we inform
ed him in strict confidence, of
course, that it would be wholly i'm
possible for any Republican to be
elected this fall, for the reason that
the Democrats will carry the State;
and Mr.. Pursell then and there de-
clared that his business was such
that he could not possibly accept
the nomination, and that he would
give his most ardent and unani-
nous support to Hon. Andrew L.
Harris, the present incumbent,
saying that he would much rather
have Col. Harris defeated by the
Democrats, than have that honor
himself. Pursell is too modest for
a politician and we told him so at
the time.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1893-03-04

much as it now seems probable
that the tin mines of the country
will not be developed in the near
future to an extent that will afford
an adequate production of the
metal" The special agent suggests
that the duty on pig tin and tin ore
might be "advantageously repeal
ed" in the interest of tin plate man
ufaeturers."
When the Mckinley bill became
a law, tin sold in this country for
about $4.35 per box, and under the
Mckinley stimulus it has risen to
about $3.50 per box, it seems clear
that the cost to the consumer has
increased at least $1.00 per box, and
perhaps more, and the repeal Of
the whole tin schedule would be a
blessing to both manufacturers and
consumers.
Under the circumstance we will
bet chrome that the Republicans
will not shout themselves hoarse
over the sight of Major Mckinley
solemnly dipping a sheet of pre-
pared iron into melted lead and
holding it up so that his admirers
might see sheet,of real American
tin.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1893-03-04

In the first fiscal year of Mr.. Har-
rison's Administration the Treas
ury surplus is seen to have been as
large as in the last year of Mr..
Cleveland's administration. Then
were passed the measures of the
Reed Congress, under which the
Treasury surplus melted away as
rapidly as would snow in June.
Whilst the Mckinley tariff depriv-
ed the Treasury of important reve-
nues, and at the same time increas-
ed the taxation of the people, the
INDECENT Pension law and other
measures enormously swelled the
expenditures of the Government.
AS a final result of Republican pol
icy the Treasury is on the perilous
edge of a deficit as the administra-
tion of Harrison draws 10 it's close.
By Withholding the payments for
appropriations, and counting the
fractional silver coinage at the bot
tom of the Treasury as part of the
surplus, Secretary Foster may sue
ceed in his efforts to avoid the Off
cial announce ment of a deficit be-
fole his retirement on March 4.
But whether there may be two
or three millions more or less in
the public Treasury at the the ter
mination of Harrison's administra-
ton, the American people cannot
be deceived in regard to the fact
that in the four years of its exist
ence Treasury surplus of upward
of $100,000,000 has disappeared, and
the public finances have been
brought into such q condition that
it may be necessary for the Gov
ernment to borrow money before
the next Congress can pass the
revenue measures necessary to re-
store the equilibrium between re-
ceipts and expenditures.

The March number of "Tales
from Town Topics" which is No. 7
of the series, shows no abatement
of vivacious interest, and the new
prize novelette, that starts off the
volume, entitled, "The Cousin of
the King" written by Adrian
Shade Van Westrum, is particu-
larly thrilling and successful piece
of fiction. 1t is the story of a
foreign adventurer, who attempts
to win the hand of rich American
heiress, but is ba liked in the game
just on the eve of victory. The
tale is one of moving interest, and
is marked by strong character
drawing and dramatic action.
The coll ection of short stories,
sketches, poems and witticisms is
as sparkling and spicy as one could
wish. Altogether, "Tales from
Town Topics" No. Z is readable
and clever book that all smart peo-

Storing Silver And Bulling Gold.

st. Louis Republic.
After certificates of deposit have
been issued by the Treasury on
silver bullion, stored and left un-
coined, we are told at interest to
redeem these certificates-that it
will be reputation to take them
up with the same silver they were
issued on.
1t is hard to conceive how any
proposition could be more mon
strous than this, made with such
insistence by the money dealers
who are attempting to take con-
troll of the country. 1t is mon
strous in it's absurdity, and if car
ried out it would he monstrous in
injustice. And it would soon
bring on the country all the evils
of a currency contracted to the
gold basis, with gold cornered and
virtually taken out of circulation.
Let us repeat the terms of this
proposition-or rather demand, for
it is made with all the insolence of
demand from men who do not
intend to brook refusal:
Under law which allows the Sec
retary of the Treasury to redeem
in silver coin certificates of deposit
issued on silver bullion, it is pro-
posed to borrow gold and pay in
terest on it rather than use the
silver bullion to make coin to take
up the certificates of deposit issued
ON the bullion itself.
1t is hard to believe that such a
thing as this could have been seri-
ously proposed, but it is known
that it has been and is now being
urged Oh the Secretary of the
Treasury by men with whose pur-
poses he is in entire sympathy.
The men who make this demand
are responsible for the Sherman
acts for the criminal method In
which it has been put in operation,
and for the success Of the raids
made on the gold in the Treasury,

Democratic Mt Last,

On March 4 next every Depart
ment of the Government will pass
into the control of the Democratic
party something that has not oc-
Cured for thirty-three years. AS
Senator Mcpherson humorously
put it in debate the other day, the
Senate, the House, the President
and almost the entire Cabinet will
be Democratic. By Governor
Osborne's appointment of Mr.. Beck
with, Democrat, in Wyoming,
following the unexpected election
of Democrat by the Republi can
Legislature of North Dakota, the
Democratic vote in the Senate will
number 45, including Judge Mar
tin, of Kansas. This would give to
the Democrats "a majority of one
vote in a full Senate, and would
relieve them of any need of the
casting vote of the Vice President.
MIR. Martin is properly included in
this estimate; for he is a Democrat,
although he was elected by the
Populists, and will doubtless vote
with the Democrats in the organi-
zation of the Senate, Senator, Peff-
er, of Kans as, has declared again
within a day or two that, if necess-
ary, he also would assist the Demo-
erats in the org ganization, on the
ground that as they will have the
responsibility for the Government
no unreasonable obstruction should
be thrown in their way.
To snm up the result: The Demo-
Gratis, who have 80 members of the
Senate in the present Congress,
have gained seat in each of the
States of New York, Wisconsin,
California, Kansas, North Dakota
and Wyoming. Sho ould the Legis-
latures of Washington and Montana
adjourn without electing Senators
the Governors of those States
would appoiut Republicans. But,
at best, the Republicans and Popu-
lists united could not command
more than A votes in the Senate
and no pub lie question is likely to
arise on which they could make
solid front against the Democrats.
On the qu estion of of the tariff
the Populists would vote with the
Democrats, as they have declared ;
so three will be no obstacle in the
way of the Democratic tariff pro-
gramme in the next Congress.
Nothing is more certain than
that such Tariff bill as the Demo-
cratic Committee on Ways and
Means may introduce will pass
both Houses of Congress and re-
ceive the approval of President
Cleveland.
AS to the impending question of
currency and coinage, the new Ad-
ministration may expect to en-
counter the opposition of Republi-
cans, Democrats and Populists in
the next Senate in such force as to
make the success of the Admins
tration policy extremity improbable,
if the Republicans in the next Con
gress should manifest the same
partisan spirit which they have
betrayed in the prospect of re-
peal of the Silver Purchase act.
Financial contingencies in the
near future, of course are likely to
compel the adoption of legislation
in harmony with policy of Mr.
Cleveland's administration. In
the meantime history will continue
to drift until events shall have for
ced the hands of all parties in Con.
gress.
