1T is SERIOUS.

Some newspapers sheer at Colorado
politicians and make course jokes
about her people, but it's of question
able taste.
The presence of 1900 men, wom-
en- and children in Denver, without
food or the means of getting it, is a
most serious matter, rendered doubly
so by the fact that their natural pro-
tectors are penniless and with no hope
of work. And all this comes of the
plutocratic gold erase and the war on
silver, which has closed the mines in
which they were employed and de-
prived them of the means of subsis:-
tence.
If the government does not come
to the rescue of these thousands and
other thousands scattered all through
the land, by financial system that
will start the wheels of industry and
give them work, distress and suffering
will increase.
Colorado seems far off, and it i:
difficult for people who have plenty
to realize that thousands of their owr
,countrymen are suffering for bread
We believe that it was Charles Readt
who wrote "Put Yourself in Hi.
Place" and if we could only realize
that some day these things may come
to us, we could feel more accutely thu

own countrymen.
1t is no laughing matter to know
that thousands of women and children
are suffering for food that the strons

been wont to rely can not furnish

ONE of the many reasons why
Dung men should be protectionists is

ONE of the many reasons why
young men should be protectionists is
the fact that protection creates a d.
versity Of industries. All boys are
anxious to engage in a lucrative bust
ness when they arrive at mans es-
tate; and the question Of what profess
ion they shall take up is generally
answered when it is decided in what
occupations they will do best. A
diversity of business callings gives the
young man an opportunity of select
ing from larger field than he would
have if the sphere were limited to one
or two professions or trades. To d.
versify the classes as much as possible
it is important that the necessities
calling the greatest number of indus
tries into playing shall be extended,
and with view to extending these
needs it is necessary that any outside
source supplying them shall be cut
off.

What Some of the Bright

WHAT THE BILLION MEANS,


A billion dollars is sum so enor-
nous that it is almost impossible for
the mind to comprehend its vastness.
1t would give one thousa nd men fort
uneS of million dollars each. 1t
would provide twenty thousand men
with a competence of fifty thousand
dollars. 1t is nearly twice as much
as the entire interest bearing debt of
the United States. 1t would pay all
the expenses of the National Govern
ment for two years and half. If di-
vided equally it would give about
eighty dollars to every man who voted
for President and Vice President in
1892. 1t is three-fourths as much as
all the currency in the United States.

Enormous as this sum is, it does
not equal the loss to the American
people that has been caused by Dem,

have been more than billion dollars
richer to-day if Cleveland had been
defeated and Harrison elected las

a SAFE SYSTE M.

There has been great. cry against
National banks, but it will be sorry
dav for the country when that system
is abolished. Not only do they in
sure us good sound money, but the
law is such that it is not often the
case that depositors lose anything
when the bank suspends. If the
stock holders are wealthy, and they
generally are, there is no danger, for
the stock holders are liable not only
for the amount Of stock they hold, but
are also liable for an assessment equal
TO the amount of stock. Thus, If a
man has $1,000 worth Of stock In a
National bank and that bank breaks
he can be made to pay $4,000 if 1t is
necessary to protect depositors. We
had better hold on to the best bank
ing system ever adopted by any ma
ton and if our circulating medium has
to be increased let it be increased by
the system that we have tried and not
be led off into adopting wildcat banks
which would OF course give us plenty
of money, but in the case of Tennes,
see that money would be worthless.
If the money in circulation is IN
creased by the National banks we Will
have plenty of money and IN addition
to that we will be absolutely sure
what we have is good. The law gov
erning National banks does not allow
them to issue paper money equal &c
the full amount of the bonds deposited
in the U. S. Treasury. They could
he allowed to do this, so far as we can
see. without any danger, thus greatly
increasing our circulation and at the
same time not diminishing the pur
chasing power of the money. For

If Mr.. Cleveland has ever been a
member of the Senate, or had been
little less determined to have his way
about things, he would have avoided
one of the more or less humiliating de-
feats that he will receive at the hands
of Congress. 1t is well known that
all of the older Senators, regardless Of
politics, stand together in favor of one
of the oldest rules of the Senate-the
free and unlimited debate of all meas
ures. He has undoubtedly, made a
mistake by asking Senators of his par
ty to vote for the adoption of a cloture
rule in the Senate, a request never
made by any other President, and
which has served to widen the breach
already existing between Mr.. Cleve-
land and number Of the Democratic
Senators. No President ever more
earnestly desired the adoption of some
particular bit of legislation than Gen.
{ Harrison seemed to desire the passage
of the Federal Election bill, having
been passed by the House was before
the Senate; but, having served term
as Senator, he did not make the mis-
take of asking Republican Senators to
vote for the adoption of a cloture rule,
prefering to see the bill talked to
death, as it was, rather than propose
violation of one of the most sacred
traditions of the Senate. Such a rule
has not one chance out of one humid
red of being adopted and Mr.. Cleve-
land will, no doubt regret making
such proposition.
