be 1888, 222, ,162 or S64, 10, 228 less than their

the difference in th e face value of the coins

to the treasury by an appropriation

them to the mints, and the expense of

Dor already on the spot"
AS in all new countries, protection
fosters few manufacturing industries
at the expense of agriculture and other
important industries. Young men and
women, driven off the farms, flock to the
cities to work in factories and live In
tenements. The protected manufacture
ers form trusts to restrict production
and sustain prices. They close part of
their factories and make tramps of the
workingmen, who compete with those
who have not lost their jobs and thus re-
duce wages to the minimum. This is the
present social condition Of tariff ridden
Australia. It is not strange that it Is

The Geary law, now that it confronts
the American people as constitution
al statute, is getting hard knocks from
many quarters. The following from
The New York World shows some
what the drift of intelligent public
opinion upon the vicious measure:
That the supreme court holds the
Geary law to be constitutional argues
nothing in favor of it's expediency, it's
morality or its humanity, but simply
declares that the constitution does not
prevent congress from passing such a
law.
Congress has power under the con-
stitution to do many great wrongs.
1t has often done such wrongs, but
seldom one worse than this.
The act is not only a gross viola
ton of international comfy, an in
fraction of personal rights which we
have hitherto maintained and repu-
diation of the ideas of industrial
economy which have established our
marvellous progress, but it is unworthy
of civilized people in the barbarism of
it's method.
Imprisonment at hard labor for a
year of persons innocent of any crime
against morals or rights who have
simply neglected to conform to certain
administrative regulations, in an un-
usual and cruel punishment. This,
however, is venial compared with the
decree of wholesale prescription and
Punishment contained in the law.

IMPORTANT PENSION DECISION.

IMPORTANT PENSION DECISION.
The following is from The ,Milwau-
kee Telegraph, which thoroughly I'M
derstands the. past and present work
ings of the pension department:
The pew commissioner Of pensions,
has made ruling which in time will
become very popular. There should
have been such ruling ten years ago.
1t is that pension claims shall be
taken up in their turn and acted upon.
That means much. One of the things it
means is that congressman cannot, as
heretofore, have claim taken up and
given out of its turn. Tens of thous-
ands of the claims of most worthy
applicants have been delayed, some
times for years, because more hustling
soldiers, and oftentimes much less
worthy, have a pull with congress-
man. There have been Wisconsin
congressman who gave more time in
looking after claims, many of them
cases not those of persons in great
need. than they have all their other
new ruling the claim that should be
taken up first will be taken up first, no
matter what the pressure may be,
unless the ruling is reversed. Under
this new ruling congressman will be
relieved of most difficult and trying
portion of their work; worthy, needy,
patient claimants will not be crowded
out by the ambitions and sometimes
unworthy and clamorous claimant.
Pension clerks can do quarter
more work under the new rule than
they can under the old, because hun
dreds of them will not be called upon
to devote most of their time waiting
upon congressman who are crowded
into service by a certain class CT pen
sion agents and claimants. The new
commissioner of pensions has started
with a reform that is of vital import
lance to his bureau, most of the

The following from The Lacrosse
Chronicle is a sensible view of the
unsettled but not alarming condition
of financial affairs
1t is notable fact in the record of
bank failures that they are mainly
among the new and mushroom sort of
banking speculations and no bank
has failed in the west that could be re-
ferred to as a surprise in banking cir
clcs. 1t does not look as if the old
banks were weak anywhere. The
basis of credit however is very much
like Josh Billings recipe for eating
hash, about all there is required is
confidence" and confidence is unset
tied now by the free silver menace.
Until the question is settled financial
affairs will be unquiet.

profit. The usefulness Of the
assembly to the public was heightened
by day, and many enjoyed its privi-

have been denied. The experiment
was an unqualified success.
