FINANCIAL misunderstanding Car
Isle was yesterday closeted for a long
time with Mr.. Springer, the chairman
of the committee on banking and cur
rency. There is no doubt that their
conversation related to some plan of
supplementing the national bank sys-
TEN and providing for continuance of
those institutions in some form after
the bonds with which their circulation
is secured shall have expired. 1t is
stated, however, that no scheme of fl
nancial legislation will be submitted in
either branch of Congress until after
the repeal bill has been disposed OF,
and, even then, whatever is proposed
will not be sent to the Capitol from
the Treasury Department, but will be
reported by a committee, in the regu-
lar parliamentary fashion.

ing, which he did, wearing his Episco-
pal robes, aud closed with the benedic-
ton. Mr.. Pepper then said: Its in &C
cordance with the deep interest taken

casion admits of few words. 1t, how
ever, affords me the opportunity to say
how pleased 1 am to be in any way re-
lated to an assemblage such as this,
called together in furtherance of the
highest and nohlest purposes aud de-
sires. hope may also be permitted
to add that the protection of public

THE TALK about reimposing tariff
tax on tea, coffee and sugar seems to be
growing louder as the congressional
session lengthens. The democratic
majority of the present Congress was
elected upon a promise to remove the
tariff tax on salt, fuel, clothing end 9th
er prime necessaries, not to reimpose it
upon those referred to and if such q
thing be done, while they have it in
their power to raise all the required
revenue by means of an income tax,
that majority will be replaced by an
impotent minority at the next cleo
ton. The rich, whose property is pro-
tected by the government, should pay
for the support thereof, not the poor,
who have no property to protect.

SAYS: "They are now fighting to reduce
the metallic currency by one-half by
making gold standard. It's the most
gigantic scheme of robbery ever at
tempted and the people ought to rise III
their might and put stop to it, hang
ing some of the men who are causing
all this, if it is necessary" South Car
DINA brought on the war between the
States, but she was then in the hands
of better men than those of whom Gov
ernor Tillman is fair representative.
But even they, if alive, could not now
induce the people of the South to rise
in their might" to prevent the rob
berry" of the silver mine owners. The
real trouble now is that the few silver
mine owners are trying to rob all the
other people of the country.
