THE COMING TARIFF FIGHT.
The Republicans in Congress Making
Ready for It.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 25.-The
Republicans in Congress are making
ready for the tariff fight, which is soon
to begin if Chairman Wilson keeps his
promise about the bill for revenue only
that is going through the mill in the
sub committee room. No serious effort
will be made by the Republicans to
keep the Mckinley law as it is; indeed,
there are evident reasons for some
changes, and manufacturers them
selves point out some important amend
ments that should be made.
But when it comes to making the bill
one for revenue only, there will be a
big fight for protection on the old lines
and for the old reasons. Chairman
Wilson, who is a free trader in his
faith, will have his hands full; and if
any n looks for rapid progress in
in either branch of Congress he will be
disappointed.
When the tariff bill for revenue only
has been gone through with. the ques-
ton of the income tax will come up.
That will not be a matter of a day, to
say nothing about other internal taxes
which Mr.. Wilson is for raising. In
deed, the question of the science of
taxation appears to be the greatest
thing there is now, or is likely to be in
the future about MI. Cleveland's adj
ministratiOn.

GOVERNOR TILLMAN GAINS HIS
TRADEMARK SUIT.

WASHINGTON, Oct 23.-Judge Brad

haustive opinion, sustained the conten-

the matter of the States application
for the registration of the word pal
metto" by the commissioner of patents
as the trade mark of the State in its
liquor traffic, and directed that the
peremptory writ of mandamus issue
against the commissioner. The com
of patents refused to register
the trademark, holding that the State
had not complied with the law govern
ing the matter in that the State agents
were not authorized by the dispensary
laws of the State to engage in the liquor
traffic outside the State, and that,
therefore, the State could not claim
that in selling liquor in Canada in a
instance, it had become engaged
in trade with a foreign country in such
a way as to entitle the State to own the

exercised a judicial duty which was

HOW CoRoNERs MAKE MONEY.
Cruel and Unnecessary Inquests Held in
Richmond County.

ELM PARK, s. l., Oct. 25-There is
probably no class of public officials
against whom so many and such scan
dalous stories have been told as that of
the Coroners of Richmond county. The
latest incident in which they figure in
this way occurred last Monday.
Near this town, on the north shore
of Staten Island, resides a Catholic
Polish family named Warsak. They
are highly esteemed by their neighbOrs
8 exceptionally worthy and intelligent
people. Their residence is a comfort
able house situated next door to the
grocery and general store conducted by
Mr.. Wareak.
Early Monday morning the six
weeks old infant son of the Warsaks
was taken i'll, and a messenger was
sent for a physician. He returned with
case as one of brain trouble, and as
sured the parents that the attack was
a fatal one. He left some directions
for the alienation of the child's pain,
adding that he would provide the neces
sary death certificate. On his way out
he met the Coroner's physician, DR..
Wood.
The rest of the story is told by Mrs.
Marjyski and the bereaved mother.
Mrs. Marjyski said: DIR. Wood just
came in and looked at the child. He
put his hand on it's heart and said
nothing. Then the baby died and he
went away. We notified the under
taker and told him that DIR. Barber
would give a certificate. Yesterday
DIR. Whitman, the Coroner, and seven
men walked into the house. They took
an oath with uDlifted hands looked at
the body, and went away. No ques-

Thirty six New Cases and Three Deaths
Reported at Brunswick Yesterday.

BRUNSWICK, Ca, Oct. 23.-Three
deaths were officially reported to day
as follows: Two whites-Adolph Levin
and Mrs. Belle Weight, of St Simons,
and one colored-Leona Horton. Mrs
VoighU died Sunday night and was re-
ported by DIR. Murray. Owing to the
distance from Brunswick, the attend
ing physician, DR.. McCaskell, did not
send any report in on her sickness and
death until today. Thirty-six new
cases, ten of which are whites, were
rep 0rted here up to noon to day. There
are now under treatment 50 whites and
211 colored, a total of 1858. The cases
to date show a total of 702, of which
Al died and 308 have been discharged.
A fair estimate of Brunswick's popula
ton now, according to Surgeon Muir
rays census, is 1900. The per centages
of cases for the entire population since
the epidemic started is H. 6 per cent.
While several hundred have left
through Camp Detention sinceit it's open
ing, the population on St. Simon's and
Jekyl Islands, whose cases are charged
to Brunswick, will about evenly bal
ance it. Among those left are about
600 immunes. The epidemic lasting
twenty-five days longer, at least, a safe
estimate of the number stricken by it's
close will be 80 per cent. unless the
epidemic assumes graver proportions
than is 20 expected.

the poor mother. AS soon AS they
went away DIR. Wood came in with q
case OF instruments and said he was
going to perform an autopsy.
The mother cIied and said she would
not allow it, that the child was hers.
and that Dr.. Barber knew what it had
died OF, that he had seen it on it's death
bed and would give a certificate.
'Dr. Wood was very rough and
ordered her to be put out of the room.
When the woman hesitated, he said he.
would go and get a policeman and
walked toward the door.
I'VE quieted the poor woman and
removed her"
Tt is impossible to print what Mrs.
Mariyski and another woman added
as to the\superfuous autopsy.
No attempt was made by the Cor
Oner's physician to investigate the
cerebral trouble.
For their services in this case of a
six weeks infant, taken out of the
hands of a reputable physician and dis
sected with cruel disregard of the feel
lngs OF It's parents, DR.. Wood will
charge and receive $25. Coroner Whit
man, In addition, will collect another
$25 for holding his unnecessary inquest.
With the fees of the jury, the cost of
this affair to Richmond county will
amount to nearly $50.
Not long ago Coroner Whitman and
DR.. Wood exhumed the boOy Of a man
named Siebenheller at considerable
cost to the county to overly the theory
of DIR. Wood, who had not attended
him, as against that of two other doc
tors who had, although no earthly sus-
picion or allegation of foul play was
involved.
The widow protested, but the two
officials made at least $25 apiece by the
exhumation and ubs equent inquest.

Gold Reserve.

Signs of Improvement---Increase of the
Gold Reserve.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-The treasury
situation as the month draws to a close
shows signs of ar Improvement. The
receipts still lag behind those Of last
October, but pension payments are be-
ginning to show a substantial decrease.
and for this month will not probably
exceed 81, 900, 600. With the interest
which was paid October 1st taken out
of the cash the net excess of expendi,
lures over receipts for the month will
probably not be more than Sc. 900, 900,
or about $26 600, 900 in excess of receipts
for the first four months of the fiscal
year. An encouraging sign is the in
crease of the gold reserve, which to-
day stands nearly $50, 600, coo. This
increase has been brought about, not
by increased gold payments on account
of customs, but by less gold being paid
out in the ordinary course of treasury
business. THIS has been made possible
by the fact that the treasury, by work
ing an extra force over hours, has
caught up tt some extent with accu-
INFLATED paper currency awaiting re-
demption. The amount thus tried up
has now been made available and has
been paid out where, had it not been
on hand, gold would have been used
for current expenses. It is believed
that the redemptions will keep ahead
of the needs of the currency and thus
give the gold reserve an opportunity
to strengthen itself.

But in the memorable contest just
ended in the house. the populist con-
gressmen remained true to the pledges
of their platform and voted solidly in
the interests of the white metal. AS a
consequence, the party has received an
accession of many thousands of voters,
who recognizing the party as the only
true champion of free silver, are not,
themselves, educated beyond that
point, and, while not monometallists,
have not yet been born of the spirit of
nometallism.
Then let the battle cry be gold and
silver, both or neither; and mo paper,
no silver" Bend every energy in the
direction of educating the new recruits
to knowledge of the nature and func-
ton of money and the relationship of
commodity prices to the volume of
money in circulation. The work will
be comparatively easy, outside the sill
yer states, and even silver miners may
be led to contend for s'the greatest
good to the greatest number" Already
in every silver state, there is goodly
band of Simon pure populists, who
have ceased to bow the knee to the
metallic idol, and these will form the
leaven that sooner, or later, will leaven
the whole.
But, in the words of the immortal
Jackson: ''Trust in God and-keep
your powder dry" Hold silver as
hostage for paper. Let every candidate
for congress be student of finance
and thoroughly versed in the true
principles of monetary science. Nom
mate none but true and tried friends to
paper money and put them upon plat
forms which couple the demand for free
and unrestricted coinage of silver with
equally as explicit demand for an
issue of absolute, inconvertible, legal
tender paper money in sufficient volume
to properly transact the business of the
nation. Then will the poison be ex-
tracted from the fangs of metallism
and it's power to hurt be forever de-
stroyed. Thus can we harmonic
principle and policy and work sordid
selfishness and patriotic craftsmanship
in the same yoke. Thus, and thus only,
can we hope to attain the ultimate re-
lief demanded in the three sections of
the monetary plank of the Omaha plat
form. GEORGE G. WARD.

COLORADO LEADS.

The Silver-Producing States Will Wheel
Into the Peoples Party Column.
1t is cheering to note that not only
has Editor Patterson, of the Rocky
Mountain News. given himself and his
powerful influence to the peoples
party, but that he has not done so
merely for the sake of silver coinage.
In recent issue of the News he says:
''The platform adopted at Akron,
Washington county, by the peoples
party convention is short, sound and
spirited. 1t will bear reproduction. It
reads:
"'The peoples party of Washington
county, Col in convention assembled,
do declare that in their opinion the fol-
lowing are the most important meas
ures to be enacted by congress to re-
store prosperity, maintain justice and
perpetuate free institutions in the
United States:
'First-The free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver at the ratio
of 16 to i.
'Second-An increase in the volume
of money, to consist Of gold, silver and
greenba:ks, to $50 per capita.
'Third-A graduated income tax.
'Fourth-A tariff for revenue, by
which the affairs of the government
may be carried on in frugal and eco
nomical manner.
"'Fifth-The esta blishment of a
postal savings bank in which the
masses may deposit their savings and
under proper regulations draw reason
able interest thereon.
'Sixth-A more rigid and efficient
control of the railroads of the country,
under which the producer may reach
the markets of the world for freight
rates sufficient to pay fair and reason
able interest upon the actual value of
the property of the companies carrying
the freights, paying nothing for imag-
mary values, but represented by wa
tered stocks and exaggerated imitation
of bonds and other liabilities.
'What is the matter with the Arapa-
hoe peoples party convention adopting
substance? If it should, it will bring
many hundreds of supporters to the
ticket who otherwise might continue
with their old parties"
If every county in Colorado will do
equally as we'll, such action will be a
fairly satisfactory answer to Chairman
II. E. Taubeneck, when he says: "The
fight for monetary reform between the
peoples party and the silver men must
be mutual They must meet us half
way or we cannot travel together in
the same boat. Either they will have
to help us fight for the money of the
people and by the people, or we will
have to throw them overheard"
Let the fight go on. The rank and
file in the silver states will be with us,
no matter where the mine owners may
stand.

AN OBJECT LESSON.

That Which Saved the Banks Will Save
the People Give Us Greenbacks.
No single word in the Ian guage has
been used with more deadly effect
against refOrmers or with more vital
consequences upon the great working
population than the word Imitation"
Individuals whose mental stupidity
made it impossible for them to compre-
bend even the meaning Of the term,
caught it's sound from the lips of polit-
ical knaves and at every opportunity
yelled Imitation with a self conf
dence that implied consciousness of
the most remote and intricate CONNER
cial relations
For twenty years the only PROPOSE
ton that has been put forth in national
politics that could bring relief to the
masses has been beaten back by the
cry of imitation. In vain has the warm
ing voice against shrinking and mad
equate volume of money pleaded with
the toiling wealth-producers to demand
sufficient supply of money to arrest
the falling prices of labor and its prod
ucts.
In the midst of declining values and
shrinkage of property the great work.
ing masses have stood like dumb ami.
mails awaiting their doom. Against
the feeble voice that was raised for
the only possible salvation of the peo-
pie, the political boss cried out ''infla-
ton" The ignorant masses heard and
were bewildered.
Five years have added something to
the understanding of the common peo-
pie regarding politics in general and
financial systems in particular. How
much, none can say If the hope
could be INDUCED that the masses have
observed the events which have trans
PRED in banking circles of the east
during the past six weeks, then it
might justly be expec ted that the peo-
pie would never again become scared
at the word imitation. There is little
evidence, however, that majority of
the voters observed the unparalleled
limitation" by the associated banks of
New York through the issuing of forty
million dollars in clearing house GER
tifcates to save their houses from fall
ing into the stream of bankruptcy.
The lesson is the most important that
mas occurred since Cno 1nudClOn
period when the government inflated"
the volume of money to preserve its
own existence.
No intelligent person can doubt for
a moment, that had not the associated
banks of New York, in open violation
of law, INFLATED" the money of their
use beyond the widest dreams of the
most fanatical green hacker, the pres
ent panic would have wiped them from
the face of the earth.
Four weeks of pressure induced the
banks of New York to do what twenty
years of suffering has not persuaded
the people to do for their own salvation.
The one was the prompt action of clear
headed business men governed by COM
mon sense and the dictates of self
interest, the other is the sluggish in
difference of millions under the con-
troll of prejudice and political bosses.

banks are analogous, the difference in
their respective intelligence. Political

THE MONEY QUESTION.

1t Knocks the Tariff Out in the Keystone
State Watch Pennsylvania.
Congressman Sibley preached the
doctrine of free silver to the farmers
present at the Williams Grove meet
ing of the state grange, and the very
favorable reception accorded him,
coupled with the fact that free silver
orators have been practically monopo-
Gzing the attention of the grange,
seems to indicate that sentiment
among the agricultural class in Penn
sylvania is largely in favor of the kind
of financiering advocated by the popu-
lists. Sibley's popularity with the
farmers is naturally alarming to the
leaders of the republican and demo-
cratic organizations. 1t is becoming
evident that if the Franklin man
enters the race for cover ~ ne will
hold the balance of power and be in a
position to throw his strength to
whichever party leans the most to the
side of free coinage, or else to unsettle
all calculations by making fight to a
finish. 1t was on this account that the
republican state convention placed
in its platform an equivocal money
plank, demanding an expansion of it's
volume of currency to $40 per capita
and the maintenance of "a parity of dol
lars. without suggesting how these
ends are to be accomplished. How the
democratic state convention will deal
with the money question remains to be
ascertained. The real feeling of the
majority of the people on this issue has
never been guaged. The Pennsylvania
delegation in congress is, it is true, al
most unit against free coinage, but
this proves nothing with regard to the
demands of the masses, as inspired by
recent events.
Sibleyism may be much more for
midable bugbear than the average po-
litica1 observer imagines, and it's posi-
BILE extent cannot be left out of calcula-
ton as to the result of the fall cam
paign, in which, it is not at all unlike.

precedence of the threadbare issue Of
