A Sound Finance.

The election Of a full! Democratic nd
ministration with n large majority in
the House of Representatives naturally
led business men to consider their con
potency TO bear the responsibilities OF
the government because having been in
a minority so long and joined in many
acts for wrong legislation-not always
because OF right or Of principle, but to
oppose the Republican majority and
take advantage of acquiring all dissent
ing aid-led many to doubt the ability
and patriotism OF the Democrats to
rule for the best interest of the people.
The unconditional repeal of the clause
in the Sherman act by $50 majority OH
Tuesday has given the people greater
confidence in the Democratic Congress.
The speeches for the last two weeks
and above all the crisis of sound or de-
based finances, had turned many hereto
fore free silver men to vote for the re-
pealing act.
The country is i'll this position. The
law requires 500, 900 900 in gold to
he held in the treasury to redeem green
backs. Because people know they can
get gold for them makes them good as
gold in all ports of foreign exchange.
When Mr.. Cleveland quit the White
House in 1889 there were about a hun
bred millions surplus above this gold
reserve in the treasury. The Republi-
cans revised the tariff by cutting fifty
millions off the sugar tariff, increased
the pensions, and gave bounties to SUI
gar raisers so that when Mr.. Cleveland
took charge last March the nations re-
ceipts were very close the expenditures
daily and sometimes ~encroached on this
gold reserved tO redeem greenbaeks.
The Sherman law had been enacted
to make a market for the product of
the silver miners of the West. Silver
is useful as money but the larger pro.
duction of it than gold in recent years
has caused it to depreciate the same as
IA big crop Of wheat lowers the price Of
it. Gold is the recognized standard of
measurement because it is the least
changeable Of the two money metals.
The act requires the government to pur-
chase fifty millions Il year; 10 pay for it
in silver certificates. The market value
of the silver i'll a dollar a few years ago
was nearly equal to the value of a gold
dollar but it is now worth only about
IS cents, Notwithstanding the large
market made by the government pur-
chase.
The government pledges or should do
SO, that every dollar should be of the
same purchasing value. The silver
dollar could only be made so by redeem
ing silver certificates in gold but to do
so threatens the reserve held to redeem
g~reenbacks. AS long as the govern.
ment made asilver certificate good with
gold the mats of exchange in foreign
countries passed it for gold, but if it
was redeemed only in silver the govern
ment would be taking t%luctuating silver
as a yard stick aud values of everything
would be unsettled. With such a
threatening people would not purchase
goods but hoard greenbacks and gold
as they might be worth a big premium
in case a silver basis was adopted. The

The Way TO Break Up Nom
mouth Park.

The only way that appears feasible
to break up the practices at Monmouth
Park which are demoralizing u Young
men and bringing disgrace TO our coun-
ty and State is to elect a Legislature
that will repeal all laws legali2ing rae
ing as well as gambling, revive the old
laws which prohibited both, and enact
a new measure requiring the Governor
to use the State Police force to suppress
the whole business. That is about
what il came to ut last in regard to the
Louisiana Lottery intamy. The people
had to rise up en- mass and out.
Now that the head aud front Of that
infamous concern has transferred his
operations to State and las piac-
tically renewed the Lottery in the shape
of the race track, the people IF the
State should rise up and rid themselves
of it as the people of Louisiana were
forced to do, When it comes to That
the ace course must go, and all its cor.
rupt, indecent and demoralizing pTac-
tees along with it. 1t looks as if the
times were ripe for just such a move

Mr.. Springer appears to be the right
man at the head OF the Banking and
Currency Committee. He expresses
the opinion that his committee will re,
port against the repeal of the 10 per
cent. tax on the issues of State banks,
and adds:
"For my own part. l am opposed to
the removal of the tax on State banks.
l do not believe in going back to the
days of the old State banking system,
and of being compelled TO have forty
four different kinds Of currency in this
country. remember very well, when
young man, what great difficulty there
was in trausactipg business because of
the different kinds OF currency. The
removal Of the tax upon State banks
and the re-establishment of the old sys-
TEN would be all obstruction to bust
ness. |, Tor one, am against it, and l
do not believe that such a bill can pass"

truth, he is China, so far as the fair is
concerned. for the Chinese government, an
gered at the act excluding its subjects from
the United States, fatty refused to take
any part and sent a rather curt reply to
President Harrison's official invitation.
Thereupon Mr.. Chunn called on Consul
Charles Seymour at Canton, talked the
matter over and volunteered to make the
Chinese exhibit himself. A cable was at
once sent to have the space reserved, and
MI. Chunn, with very little help from other
merchants, has organized a very creditable
display. He promises to make a thorough
exhibit of the leading manufactures of his
country, among which ivory carvings of
all sorts, silk fabrics, decorative articles
and bamboo in hundreds of forms will be
the principal features.
The Chinese millionaire is actuated by
interest as well as patriotism, for he las
built up q considerable trade with the
western nations and hopes to greatly extend
it by a display Of what China has to sell.
He travels a great deal and in princcly
style. His face is well known in the large
mercantile establishments of Paris, where
he has established profitable connections,
and be now hopes to do as well in the
United States.
