W here's the Tariff Gone.

How they talked about the tariff, just a
year or so ago!

on the plain,
And tariff in the sunshine, and tariff in

And it set the woods afire, and it made

What's gone with all the tariff
That made the bellows blow?
It's funny bout this tariff-how they've
lost it, or forgot:

The Gold Standard Arguments.

The advocates of gold standard
give several reasons for holding the
opinions they do. We here number
them and give the answers.
l. Over production of silver has
made that metal so cheap that it is no
longer precious metal.
THE ANSWER.
This is false. One is not surprised
at the statement, as in all ages, those
who are in false position have used
falsehood. The tables on the supply
of gold and silver, show less silver in
proportion to gold in existence now
than any previous period. They also
show that there is less of both gold
and silver in the world in proportion
to population and business than in any
former period. The amount of silver
in the world available as money is now
$2.58 per capita. A study of the ta-
bles on this subject is complete an
SWSI W tulo uIuCuG
2. Silver has deprecated in price.
until the silver in the silver dollar is
now only worth so or 60 cents (ac-
cording to the market price of silver
at the same time the statement is made)
and it is not an honest dollar. 81
THE ANSWER.
When free coinage (unlimited de-
mand) and its use as redemption money
was taken away from silver it became
a commo lily, and when it appeared
thereafter in the market for sale, it
was priced in gold. There are sever
al ways of measuring its value.
One-half the redemption or primary
having been destroyed, the 9TH
er half (gold) became twice as valua-
BILE, hence, would buy twice as much |
of anything as it would before, and as
silver has become commodity it
would buy twice as much of it.
When a money metal was plucked |
from its position as money and made a
all other commodities fell
with it. Silver will buy as much
(about) as any other commodity (not
affected by local or trust causes) as it
ever would.
Silver is worth as much as it ever

To Flatter, or To Bluff.

A few weeks ago the New York board
of trade conceived the idea that If q
meeting of all the board of trade in the
country could be held at Washington
city, under the high-sounding and COM
prehensive name Of meeting OF the
..business men of the United States, !"
an influence might be brought to bear
on the senate that would insure the
demonstration of silver. The meet
| ing was called. Last week a board of
representatives from most of the cities
of the nation gathered at Washington.
Resolutions were adopted praising the
president for his stand on the financial
question. The committee appointed to
present the resolution, headed by grain
gambling and gold bug Congressman
Cobb, called on the president and pre-
sented the resolution. The president
replied in a speech and thanked the
ssbusiness men of the nation" for ap-
proving his course. The committee
then called on Senator Voorhees, to
present the business mems resoln-
ton.
This is the kind of work that is shap-|
ing legislation and these are the kind
OF men that fiatter and bluff the ma
tion's rulers into the belief ~ that the
people are crying for the immediate
and unconditional repeal OF the only
law that Is affording any increase Of
currency, and for the complete demon
etization OF silver. A few option gam
bIers and national bankers or foreign
money lenders have more infuence
with the rulers OF this nation than all |
the millions Of other people. That Il
the condition Of affairs to-day. TheI
wishes of tho people are notconsulted.

Franklins Once, Flunkies Now.

The old theory Of the foreign mis-
sion was that it should be entrusted
only to men noted for their devotion tc
American institutions, and for thei;
proved ability in upholding them.
On this theory, men like Jefferson,
Franklin and Jay were made foreign
| ministers.
When Franklin went abroad to rep.
resent America and Americans, he did
it not by the magnificence of his din
ners, and the costliness of his furniture
and equipage, but by the simple digni-
ty of his presence, by the homeliness
of his clothing, by the brilliancy OF his
mind.
When he went to stand before Kings.
the Mobiles who at first might have
sneered at him as a mere backwoods
peasant, soon began to wonder at the
greatness of his intellect, and to bear
testimony that all the courts of Europe
had nothing to compare with the home-
spun American.
He dignified America by patriotism,
by wisdom, by devotion to the welfare
of its people and or mankind. The
men and women who were most exalt-
ed by rank, by knowledge, by genius,
crowded around him anxious to have
the privilege of word from him.
Yet he was simple Minister, and
not an Ambassador. !" He had no
grandfather. He had been mere
printer boy. He was '.worth" less in
money than are the upper servants in
tho houses of the New York plutocrats.
But now we have ambassadors ''be-
cause Ministers cannot ..maintain the
dignity of the Government. Now we
are told that it is necessary to select
''men of liberal means as Ambassadors
because poor men cannot afford to en-
tertain in style that will properly
represent the dignity Of the people. "
So the ambassadors are to became
the perquis;ties of the plutocracy and
of the sons-in-law of fplutocracv. They
are to go to "men of means. The
Jeffersons and the Franklins, If we
should ever have them again. are to be
kept at home because they ara not
and the American people
are to be represented abroad by simian
flunkies in single eyeglasses whose
sole claim to distinction is the possess
sion of millions that have been robbed
from the people through usury and
other forms OF extortion and fraud.
What is to become of this country il
its government is to be surrendered to
New York and to Wall street in New
York ?-C Chronicle.

The Vast increase q Dsbt.

Senator Daniel shows beyond tho
shadow OF q doubt that the first cause
of the panic OF 1898 is the vast inoreasc
of debts. He is hard to convince Of q
truth who can read what he says and
then doubt. From 1880 to 1890. the
the private Indebtedness Of the United
States rose from Sc. 700, 600, 600 to s l9,.
700. 900, ,00O-an increase OF thirteen
thousand millions in ten years. Awful!
The increase in the funded debts az
railroads in ten years was I29 per
cent. It doubled ia seven years.
Railroad debts exceed assets By $5,.
900, 600, 900.
Then there are the debts OF telegraph,
telephone, street railways. water, gas.
electric and other companies vastly
beyond comprehension.
The mortgage debts Of but twenty-one
states are$4, ,547. /. 600, 900.
Then the banks show an enormous
increase OF loans and overdrafts. The
n ational banks show in ten years an
increase from 1894, 900. 600 to $2,I7l.s
600, 900; other banks from $S7S, 600. i
600 to 81, 189, ,OOO, 900.
Aggregate debt Of states shows an
increase Of $12. 600. 900 over 1880.
The total for 1880 was 81, 1856, ,210, Is

the national debt still large, the In
terest Of which requires alone 322.-
100000 each year. N
Senator Daniel, surveying these vast
sums beyond the comprehension of
most men Of fair intelligence, says that
it would take every dollar Of all our
currency to discharge even one-tenth
Of the private indebtedness alone. He
says it would take every dollar OF gold
to pay one-third OF the interest on tlis
debt at s per cent. Hesays this pri-
vate Indebtedness OF the United States
is ..more than an the gold and silver
produced in the world since America,
was discovered, 2 four hundred years
ago. - Wilmington Messenger.

OUT INTO THE BITTER NIGHT.
George Vogt Drove His Family from the House
and Would Not Let Them Return.

Saturday night George Voght, an old
man residing near the German Orphans
Home, while under the influence of lntoxi-
cants, took fancy to solitude. and drove
his wife and children from the house. Sat-
urday night will long be remembered as q
bitter cold one and the family driven
forth into the rough weather were sheltered
during the night by neighbors.
Yesterday morning they returned to
their home. but found the husband and
father no more disposed to receive them
than he had been to let them remain the
night before. He locked the doors and
positively refused to admit them. and
when they insisted upon entering the
house and made an effort to do so. he drove
them away from the place by force. In
consequence of his brutality he was lodged
answer to the Cadi for assault and battery
and disturbing the peace.

MOTORMEN ASK PROTECTION.
The Chill Blasts of This Arctic Winter Too
Much for Them.

Last night. about IL o'clock. when q large
per cent. of the electric cars had been
pulled off, a committee of about twenty
five motormen of the Street-car Brother
hood called at the residence of President
Frenzel, on North East street. and re-
quested an interview. 1t was at once
granted. Mr.. Frenzel inviting them all into
the house. John Corliss and two others
accepted the invitation, and the rest waited
on the outside. The men stated that they had
come for the purpose of asking the presi-
dent II. in some way, be could not arrange
his cars so that the drivers and motormen
would not be so exposed to the weather.
They stated that during the past few
weeks il had been almost impossible to
stand on the front platform Of q car travel
ing at the high rate of speed expected. and
that the men have considered themselves
fortunate that they had not been frozen at
their posts. The men threatened nothing.
simply allowing the business of their de-
mand to carry Its own weight
Mr.. FrenZel told them that he SYM
pathized with them and realized the hard
ness of the positions which they occupy.
but said that be did not see how he could
help them very much. Three weeks ago
when the cold weather first set In he wrote
and asked them If they had any thing that
could be attached to the open platforms
for protection from the weather
or If vestibules could be built on. The re-
ply was that they had nothing. and that
the vestibules had to be built when the
cars were. A temporary screen might be
placed on, bnt it would require a great deal
of work, and before the cars on the various
lines could be so altered there would likely
be NJ need for them. Mr. FrenZel told the
men that he had had glass screen fixed
that would project down from the
roof of the car and protect the
mems faces and shoulders, and that they
might try them in the morning if they SO
desired.
With these assurances the men left, one
of them carrying box of the presidents
best cigars under his arm, and the best of
feeling prevailed.
The committee was seen by q Journal
reporter. but the men were inclined TO
be decidedly num-" They said, however.
that they were simply asking for such pro-
lection as could DO given. and that no
trouble was brewing
Mr.. FrenZei was seen, and related the in.
terview about as stated. He said that he
had been trying to devise some plan to pro-
tect the men on the "open- fuce" cars, but
could find none that appeared feasible. He
thought that 1t would be little too much
TO ask that he tako his cars all off at once
| TO have permanent screens put on. and to
do so few at o time would carry the
work away into the summer.
