If anyone doubts the perfect work
ing of the sugar trust, according to the
intention of its projectors and to the ex-
pense of both producers of crude sugar,
and consumers of the refined article,
such dOubter needs only to read the
market quotations, to be convinced of
the perfection of the devise. Thus, on
the 9th day OF December, 1891, the
standard crude sugar. known to the
trade as fair refining was quoted at
81 cents per pound, and ON the same
day, granulated sugar was quoted at Al
cents, leaving comfortable margin of

the quotations were, flair refining, .

that the cost of refining has doubled in

THE CAT OUT OF THE BAG.


A New York Banking journal SAYS the
MOnOmetaIlists Arc Conspiring to Force
q Panic.
The doctrine which some of our super
cilious monometallists are propagating,
to the effect that the only way to
change the ideas of the next congress
on the currency is to precipitate panic,
would not only be absolutely futile but
is extremely vicious. Examine the
opinions of those who are to take the
lead in approaching currency legisla-
ton and you will find them unanimous
ly declaring that there is a conspiracy
in the east to bring about a crisis in
business, under the auspices and con-
nivance of those who are opposed to
silver currency; but that if a panic
should develop it will simply be anoth-
er demonstration of their predominant
ing idea that the gold basis is not
broad enough for the safe conduct of
business. Could there be anything
more absurd, then, than the advo-
cacy of collapse of confidence by
treachery in view of this extensively
supported sentiment and condition?
Taking a broad view of the matter,
should not such a proposition bring
upon those citizens who support it the
contempt of all public-spirited citizens?
panic, in the eyes of the free silver
advocates and the fiatists, who appear
to hold the balance of power in the
next congress, would thus confirm their
own forecasts both as to the character
of eastern credit institutions and the
standard of value, and would it not es-
IN nc fhnir
foundation? So long as this govern
ment can pay its obligations in the
money of the world, the gable that it
ought to refuse to do so in order that
credit might be destroyed, with the sub
sequent result of changing western
and southern opinion on the currency
question, is idiotic and monstrous in
breath. Let it be remembered that the
advocates of free silver recall a time,
not dozen years back, when similar
demonstrations foresaw ruin in the
operation of the silver certificate act.
They recall the hysterical theories of
that period and find them curiously
analogous to the present 1t has caused
them to regard with scorn the currency
notions of the east, and neither panic
nor representation will affect them
now except to emphasize their repeated
assertions that there is not currency
enough in the country to make it pru-
dent to contract debts. With the in
trinsic merits of any currency theory
we have nothing here to do; it is the
proposition to inflict commercial ruin
upon merchants and banks for the sake
of an object lesson in finance which we

Perhaps one great reason, even under

much newspaper space squandered in

About fifty years ago, the people of
Switzerland were in debt, mortgaged,
and paying extOrtionate interest. Then
Shylock and the people locked horns.
The people triumphed. The public
credit, instead of being placed in bonds
for mOney-sharks to use like mosquito
bills, to fatten on the prosperity and
life of the land, was printed in notes,
greenbacks if you please, and loaned to
the farmers, on mortgages, running
thirty years, at st per cent; the princj-
pie to be repaid IN thirty years, by in
stalments. What wonder that the
Swls, in comparatively barren cOun-
try, are prosperous and happy! The
government is run in the interest of the
people.

What the pOpullst party wants, is not
politicians to lead them, but brave, I'M
swerving, dauntless men TO serve them.
Don't get away from tie idea that pub
lie officers are public servants, nothing
more and nothing less. In some cases,
as in the case of judges, we give them
considerable discretion In performing
their services for us; in others, the dis
cretlons we give, are plain and unequiv-
ocal. And one who accepts a public
position, should be prepared to do the
wishes of those he works for, or give
place to some one who will. 1t does
not prove a man wrong, malicious, or
false, if he does disagree with the ma
jority of his constituents; but when
this disagreement is of such nature
that it prevents him from performing
the services they want, then he is no
longer fit TO represent them. This is
the fundamental idea of a representa-
tive government, that the representa-
tive shall reflect the wishes and ideas OF
his constituents, in all matters that
have come before their consideration.
In so far as he fails in doing this, just
so far representative government is a
failure and a farce. If the people
merely elect man to use his own judg-
ment, regardless of theirs, why all this
fuss about platforms, principles, and
campaignsp Why not put the names of
all who are supposed to be brainy men,
shake them up in a box, and draw a
aucky slip for the man who shall dictate
TO his constituents during his allotted
term OF Officer If such an idea and
such theory is right, all this fuss and
feathers" about platforms, principles.
republican government, and campaign
speaking, is the biggest farce ever got
ten up by men of brains, to mislead a
nation Of fools. Stick to principles.
Stick to what is right. Then insist
that public servants not only stick to
right and principles in theory, but stick

AN HONEST CONFESSION.

United States Paper Money as Good as
United States Bonds-Our Absurd Cur
rency Policy.
The manner in which many of our
interior banks are yielding up their
gold reserves to the treasury shows
how clearly they appreciate the situa-
ton. On the one hand, they do not
think it wise to issue bonds for gold;
on the other, they perceive that no
other resource is left to the treasury
but to borrow the needed funds, if the
800, 900, 900 reserve is to he kept intact or
as nearly SO as possible. Confident that
the credit of the nation is as good for
its circulating notes as it is for
its bonds, they reach into their
own vaults for needed gold and take in
exchange for it treasury notes. green
backs and, if recent statement is to
be credited, any other available gov
ernmental currency. There is another
thing to be deducted from these acts of
our interior banking institutions. It is
that these banks seem to believe il
best that the 500, 600, 900 should not be
largely drawn upon in the interest,
presumably, of conservative finance.
1t our friends did not so believe, there
would be no occasion to prompt them
to replenish the government stock of
gold. Watcher they reason correctly,
