WASHINGTON CRY, Dec. Especial Cor
respondence. THE rivers aud harbors
committee OF the house have Just CON-
plcted q draft of estimates Of the various
amounts TO be asked for in the general bill,
and the total is $5l. COS, 900 1t is not
within the range of possibilities. however,
that such a bill can be passed through the
house at the present session. As the new
tarih bill produces less revenue than the
present law. and as the present law does
not bring in sufficient money to meet the
various expenses Of the government and
the appropriations by congress-, there will
be a strong effort. which has its origin in
the White House, to impress upon the
ruling party the necessity for practising
the most rigid economy. especially i'm the
matter OF appropriations. The $5i. .00o, 900,
which could undoubtedly be wisely spent
in needed improvements North, South,
East and West will certainly be cut down
more than one halt. and some of the
Democratic economists in the house think
the friends of the measure will be doing
we'll If they get through a total appropria-
iion OF Si0, 90 coo. But Tor this disappoint-
ment there is a little ray of sunshine. The
sundry civil bill offers opportunities for
certain appropriations to complete con-
tracts. etc, which il has become customary
TO shove through in this way IN order to
tighten the load of the rivers and harbors
bill. Ii is only another ease of robbing
Peter 20 pay Paul. but by IL another
$40 co.. 600 will quite likely be appropri-
ated for waterway Improvements.

What follows? A fall in the price
of that which is plentiful-produce
land a raise in the price of that
which is scarce-money.
The Wall Streeters dare not openly
burn the Greenbacks and destroy the
Silver Certificates, but they want to
stop the Coinage of Silver and to
destroy the value of Paper and Silver
outstanding by making everything
payable in gold.
This would be equivalent to burn
ing the Paper money and melting
the Silver. It would cause the most
tremendous crash in values ever
known in the history of the human
race.
Yesterday was Feb. II, 1898.
John Sherman, the Republican
Banker, had introduced into the
Senate a proposition to issue more
Bonds-payable in Gold.
Calvin Brice, the Democratic Rail
Road King and Wall Street Opera
tor, supports Sherman's measure and
goes further. He offers an amend
ment to the effect that all outstand-
ing obligations Of the Government
shall be payable IN Gold.
Do our people realize what this
means?
Let them rouse themselves at their
peril
It means just the same in finance
and in practical results as the burn
ing up Of all the Paper money now
in the hands Of the people and the
melting down Of all the silver.
Of what value will either be when
their price is fixed by the small
amount of Gold?
Their worth, instead of being
fixed by law, as it now is, will be
fixed just as that of cotton or wheat
or corn would be. By the volume
Of Gold.
Let that law pass and before five
years roll by we should have such a
smash up of Merchants, Farmers,
and the smaller business men gen.
orally as was not seen even in the
panic Of 1873.
Lucky will be the man who
escapes. T. e. w.

THE SILVER QUESTION.
NUMBER THREE.

The main idea of the Lawmakers
of country in deciding what should
constitute the Money of that people,
is to expedate trade. The original
purpose of Money is to render it
possible for the holder Of one COM
modify to exchange it for some other
which will serve him better. The
man in Kentucky who breeds mules
wishes to trade with the man in
Georgia who produces cotton. To
actually swap those mules for the
cotton is possible, but inconvenient.
Hence, for the mere sake Of conven-
fence, we say, by law, that the mule
breeder may exchange his mules for
something which will represent their
value. Then he can take this repre-
Sentative of their value and buy just
as much cotton as the mules would
have snapped for. The cotton pro-
Queer receives this representative Of
value and in his hands it represents
the worth of the cotton. He can ex-
change it for Mules, Horses, Dry
goods, or anything he chooses.
This ge33yese3at0ti2,e of value. which
the Government authorizes, is Money
AS money is intended to facilitate
trade, the amount of money should
bear some proportion to the amount
of trade. The representative of
value should bear some proportion
to the values represented. The de-
mand for money is created by the
transaction of business, and therefore
the supply should bear some proper.
ton to the demand.
What this proportion is cannot be
fixed by iron-clad rules. But there
are certain signs which show when it
is too small and when too great.
No Doctor, however smart, can
tell just how many ounces of food
are needful to any particular person.

used in this appropriation

language used in this appropriation
bill:
For free delivery service, including
existing experimental free delivery OIL
ces.
"That is all the law now on the
statute books in regard to this guess
ton.
81 do not want the statement OF
the gentleman from Georgia IN re-
gard to there being a law on the
statutes as to rural free delivery to
go without correction"
"Mr. Watson. Mr.. Chairman, this
delivery in the small towns and vii
lagos is called rural free delivery
"Mr. Henderson of North Caro-
lima. But as matter of fact there
is no law except what is stated here
in this appropriation BILL"
The amendment was adopted by
the House. This opens up the way
for the farmers to secure services on
an equal footing with the residents
of the towns and cities. 1t is one of
the first instances in which the gov
eminent has put itself in daily touch
with the citizen of the rural commu-
nifty. If followed up by successive
Congresses, this entering wedge may
cleave the way for system of inter
communication that will remove a
great inconvenience and cause for
dissatisfaction in country homes. AS
first step, its Importance cannot be
overestimated.

THE KANSAS SITUATION.

A highly Illustrative incident 10
reported from Kansas. Monday
night the Republican members of
the Kansas Legislature held eau
Gus, and next day it was announced
by the chairman that positive assn
rance had beeen given by the Demo
cratic leaders at Washington that
any straight Democrat the Repub-
hcans would elect to contest Judge
Martins seat in the Senate would be
seated. This confirms the predlc-
ton OF Ignatius Donnelly, one year
ago, that on the fourth of March,
1898, the marriage of the Demo-
cratic and Republican parties would
be contaminated IN Washington.

THE CALICO PONY


Has come to stay, and wants the best
the house affords.
The time has been when this freak
of naure felt bashful, and apologize.
He was glad if anybody considered
him worth having at all.
But evolution has taken hold Of
this neglected animal and has made
him hero.
The first step in his triumphal
march upwards and EDWARDS was
taken when John Robinson lifted
him from obscurity into fame. He
became the rage, and set the fashion.
The "Crazy Quilt mania was
simply an incident to the evolution
of the Calico Pony.
The oBric-a- brac" collections in
our fashionable parlors IS an awk-
ward but sincere effort to do justice
to the Calico Pony.
The way the political platforms Of
the two old parties are built attest
the ingrained desire to initiate the
peculiarities of the Calico Pony.
And the way Grover Cleveland has
made up his cabinet is the browning
tribute to the humble but useful
qualities Of the Calico Pony.
There is Carlisle, whom everybody
knows; and there is Bissell, whom
nobody knows.
There is Culberson with the repu-
tation of thirty years; and there is
Hoke Smith with the reputation of
thirty days.
There is Mr.. Cleveland himself,
whose Jeffersonian Democracy con-
sists in antagonizing every principle
Jefferson endorsed; and there is
Gresham, whose principles have not
yet been announced at all.
There is Mr.. Carlisle, who, coming
from the South, opposes Free Silver
and favors the Whisky Trust; and
there is Dan Lamont, President Of
the New York Street Railway Mo-
nopoly, who finds cosy quarters in a
Cabinet which the dear people
fondly believe is "down on mo-
nopoly."
Mr.. Carlisle will represent the
South-though he was dead against
us all during the war and took the
Test oath, voluntarily, afterwards.
Mr.. Smith, a Southern man of
Confederate antecedents, will deal
with Pensions, peculiarly delicate
question for ex-Confederates.
Mr.. Gresham, RepuOllc2n ONCE
holder at this blessed moment, is ex-
pected to give vigorous applause to
the campaign cry of ''turn the ras-
Gals out" and to commence at once
to eject his brother Republicans.
/ Dan Lamont, a millionaire mo-
nopolist of Wall street, will head
the assault upon the stronghold of
monopoly.
Verify, verify, no "crazy-quilt," no
"pach-work palace" no 'variety
store," ever presented such COM
blnation as "the dear old Democratic
party" is getting together.
Let the Calico Pony hold up his
head and snort! He's on top.
Every dog has his day = why
shouldn't the Calico Pony have his /?
