The Party Must Fulfill Its Pledge
as to Tariff Reform,

A Statesman's Broad View o
Situation.

Washington, ID. G. Aug. 8-To the
Congress of the United States
The existence of an alarming and
extraordinary business situation,
involving the welfare and prosperity
of all our people, has constrained
me to call together in extra session
the peoples representatives in Con-
gress, to the end that with their
wise and patriotic exercise of the
legislative duty with which they are
charged, present evils may be miti-
ga6ySSand dangers threatening the
future may be averted.
Our unfortunate financial plight is
not the result of untoward events
nok of conditions related to our nat
ural resources. Nor is it traceable
to ara of the Affections which fire.
quently check natural growth and
prosperity.
With plenteous crops, with abun-
dant promise of remunerative pro-
duction and manufacture, with un-
usual invitation to safe investment
and with satisfactory assurance to
business enterprise, suddenly fnan-
cial distrust and fear have sprung
up on every side.
Eumerous moneyed institutions
have suspended because abundant
assets were not Immediately availa-
BILE to- meet the demand of the fright
ened dAepositors; surviving corpora
tions and individuals are content to
keep in hand the money they are
usually anxious to loan, and those
engaged in Legitimate business are
surprised to find that the securities
they offer for loans, though hereto
fore satisfactory, are no longer ac-
cepted. Values supposed to be fixed
are fast becoming conjectural, and
loss and failure have invaded every
branch of business. believe these

TO THE ADVISORS.

This is a period when all petty diff
ferences and feelings should be of
little weight. Distrust pervades the en-
tire country. No locality within this
country is free from it. Common in
terest is the only object before the
people. Attorneys are looked to
for wholesome advice, and they should
be true men doing unto others as they
would be done by, should enter into
their counsel. The New Farmers
Bank, with the magnitude of its busi-
ness, forced at this time into liquida-
ton, would greatly embarrass the
county and reduce to minimum value
the interests ofits stockholders. Hence.
with what facts we have before us, we
would plead with all concerned to be
slow in all manner of antagonism. A
suit against one individual or concern
may bring financial disaster to many.
The solvency of this institution has
not been questioned by its directors.
If this be true, what reason can there
be for the lack of confidence which
possess some of itsmembers
Some method could certainly be
agreed on, ifmen would be men, gov
erned by reason rather than prejudice
and personal feeling. For the sake of
orphans and widows and helpless in
dividuals who are interested in the
bank we would urge soberness of
thought and wise counsel.

In this issue Mr.. L. N. Horton, of
Camargo precinct, announces himself
candidate for Superintendent OF
Schools, subject to the action of the
Democratic party. Heis now serving
his second term as Magistrate of his
precinct. He is responsible man
with opinions of his own as the re-
suit of resoning; a Democrat, unfal-
tering, ever ready to respond to party
calls. Should Mr.. Horton be chosen
by his party to make this race he will
get the solid Democratic support and
would discharge the duties of the
office to the best Of his ability.

In this issue will be found the an
nouncement of Charles II. Jones as
candidate for Assessor. To the good
people of Montgomery county we can
confidently say, there are few more
capable and worthy young men that
will offer for Office than Mr.. Jones.
Without disparagement to any we
can pronounce him the peer of the
very best. Capable, honest, pains
taking, upright a splendid Judge of
of the value of stock. lands, etc. He
will if elected, make most efficient
officer. We cordially commend Mr..
Jones to the favorable consideration
of the voters of the county as a young
Democrat who has never searched
ticket nor failed to be at the polls on
election day. Wait till yon see this
splendid young specimen of Kentucky
Democracy, and give him chance to
make your personal acquaintance
before you pledge to another.

MT. STERLING KENTUCKY, TUESDAY AUGUST 8, 1898

barrassment from which the bust.
ness of the country is suffering arises
as much from evils apprehended as
from those actually existing. We
hope, too, that calm counsels will
prevail, and that neither the capi-
talists nor the wage earners will
give way to unreasonable panic and
sacrifice their property or their i'm
terests under the influence of exag-
gerated fears.
Nevertheless, every days delay in
removing one of the plain and prin-
cipal causes of the present state of
things enlarges the mischief already
done and increases the responsible
ty of the Government for its .exis-
fence.
Whatever else the people have a
right to expect from Congress, they
may certainly demand that the Leg
islation condemed by the ordeal of
three years. disastrous experience
shall be removed from the statute
books as soon as their representa-
tives can legitimately deal with it
1t was my purpose to summon Con-
gress in special session early in Sep
tember, that we might enter prompt
ly upon the work of tariff reform
which the true interests of the
country clearly demand, which SO
large majority of the people, as
shown by their suffrages, desire and
expect, and to the accomplishment
of which every effort of the present
Administration is pledged.
But while tariff reform has lost
nothing of its immediate and per-
manent Importance, and must in the
near future engage the attention OF
Congress, it has seemed to me thai
the finaucial condition of, the,country
shouldn't once and before all Other
subjects, be considered by your hon,
orable body.
] earnestly recommend the prompt
repeal of the provisions of the act
passed July IA, 1890, authorizing the
purchase of silver bullion, and thai
other legislative action may put be.
yond all doubt or mistake the inten'
tion and the ability of the Govern
ment to fulfill its pecuniary obliga,
tions in money universally recog'
nized by all civilized countries.

The outlook and estimate of yield
of wheat in the United States for 1893
is, for winter wheat, 264, ll4,0O0 bush

For this quantity, take two and halt
teaspoonfuls of ground mustard, gill
of mustard seed, a tablespoonful OF
powdered cinnamon, half pound
Of brown sugar, two teaspoonfuls OF
cloves and three pints of vinegar.
Divide the spices into three equal
parts and put into three small muslin
bags. Take half the quantity, and in
it boil the spices for half an hour.
Then put in the sugar and stir till
thoroughly melted. Now place a
third of the sliced tomatoes at the
bottom of jar, put in one of the spice
bags, and pour one third of the boiled
vinegar over. Then another third of
tomato, bag and vinegar until all are
thus arranged. Then fill the jar with
cold vinegar till the pickles are covered
using more than three pints if neces-
sary. Cover securely and set away at
least month before using. A softer
pickle is made if the sliced tomatoes
are boiled with other ingredients, but
at the sacrifice of some of the flavor

quantity of cellary seed may be added.

No LOAN.

1t is reported from London that the
Rothschilds and other foreign banking
houses have been approached by some
body with reference to the placing of
500, 900, 900 loan by this government.
This rumor is so persistently repeated
that it will soon need an official denial
to stop its course. 1t may be true. 1t
is almost impossible to conceive that it
can be true, yet it gets more and more
definite.
The policy of making new loan, even
to relieve the severe strain upon the
treasury, is one that is open to the grav-
ought to be made to avoid it. The
country is at peace, and is phenomenal
ly prosperous. If we cannot pay our
expenses now what must be feared in
the event of special stress of any sort,
such as war, or a succession Of extreme
ly poor crops?
But, granting that as last and
necessary resort it is determined to
effect loan, there should be no thought
of going abroad for it. There is plenty
of money in this country, and it would
be put at the governments disposal on
days notice. The people of this coun-
try are not inclined to be niggardly
when the national welfare is concerned.
They would come to the relief of the
treasury promptly and generously.
Whatever happens the treasury Off
cials would not be justified in negotiat-
ing foreign loan, or in proposing to
negotiate such loan.

Tomorrow is election, and there is
now opportunity for only one last word
to the voters of the state.
1t is to be assumed that every citizen
desires the best management or state
affairs that can be secured that there
should be honest men in Office, intent
upon giving the state an honest admin
istration.
HTo be assured Of this 1t must be
shown that honest means are used to
secure the election. The voters must
not be tricked into believing that a
party believes in what it is opposed to,
nor can they safely be deceived regard
ing the means used to carry an election.
Probably citizens Of this state are in
clined to give the Democratic managers
the full benefit of all the doubt possible
relative to the revelations made by the
United States supervisor OF elections,
but with all the allowance the most
charitable disposition can suggest there
remains record Of fraud that is dam
aging in the extreme.
There should be no disposition to
make the Democratic party responsible
for more of the shame of the polluted
ballot than it is justly entitled to bear,
but up to the present time it appears
that the Democratic canvassing boards
are responsible for most of the blum
dering and for the wilful keeping on
the lists of dead men and dummies.
1t is a record that causes honest men
to think. II looks exceedingly bad, and
the Democrats attempt no denial or pal
liation. Instead they shrek about dis
franchising honest voters. Dead men
and dummies have been cut off. Are
they honest voters? The Democrats ap-
pear to think so.
The Democrats have put themselves
in the wrong in this matter of the puri-
flying of the voting lists, and it will
operate strongly against their ticket to-
morrow.

INTERNATIONAL MONEY.

President Andrews of Brown univer-
sity has suggestive article in the cur
rent Atlantic Monthly regarding the
desirability of international gold coins !;
that is, gold coins of denomination
not far from the value Of our s. gold
piece and the twenty hve-franc piece of
France.
He shows that most of the gold-using
nations have coins i'm use that needs but
a slight modification to bring them to
a uniform standard, and furnish coins
that would circulate freely the world
over at their iace value.
The idea is somewhat in advance of
the fiscal legislation and theories of the
time, but it is the logical goal toward
which the ad vanced thought of the day
is evidently strongly tending. 1t would
certainly cure many Of the financial
troubles of the times, and would be a
strong element in the solution of the
gold problem, as it would operate to
prevent the actual transportation of
gold from one country TO another, and
cause gold exchanges to be made with
paper certificates or checks.
This idea of an international coin,
coupled with the proposition TO retire
the smaller gold coins and substitute
silver-to be represented by paper GER
tificates as far rs the larger coins are
concerned--suggests the legitimate field
of work for the international monetary
conference. 1t is much more sensible
and business-like proposition than that
TO attempt 10 induce this country to
adopt free silver coinage upon any basis
Of cooperation ON tho part of European
nations that can be suggested.
President Andrews's article Is not as
exhaustive nor as clearly argued as
could be wished, considering the inn
portance of the subject and the reputa.
tion Of the writer. II bears signs of
haste and hasty efforts to condense;
and II also seems to show carelessness

MIR. nAKER,s LABOR RECORD.

The Democratic candidate for the
governorship is appealing for the votes
of the laboring men of the state.
Upon what grounds he bases his ap-
peal we do not know.
The facts regarding his labor record
are set forth in an article elsewhere.
1t is shown that he has for years
stood directly in the way Of the execu-
tion of the law intended to protect the
citizens of this country against foreign
pauper labor, even when he was the
government official especially charged
with the enforcement of the law.
This is condition that needs no ar
gument. 1t shows more plainly than
could otherwise be shown that Mr..
Baker is not favorably inclined toward
the workingmen, but prefers to defend
the interests of the corporations, even to
the length of neglecting the duties he
was sworn to perform.

THE DETROIT DECISIONS.

The opinions rendered yesterday by
the United States judges in the cases
against engineers on the Lake Shore
road for quitting work rather than
haul Ann Arbor freight, put a some
what different construction upon the
law than appeared to be held by the
same judges when the proceedings be-
gan.
1t seems to be admitted in these opin-
ions that railroad employees may quit
their positions at any time but that
they must not refuse to handle any
freight the road in whose service they
are has accepted to transport.
The Judges hold that the Engineer
Brotherhood was guilty Of criminal con-
spiracy in ordering its members on the
Lake Shore to boycott Ann Arbor
freight, that the employees can be COM
PEELED to handle any freight the road
agrees to haul, and that the Engineer
Brotherhood can be enjoined from inter
fering.
There is no denial of the right tC
strike in the decisions. The boycott is
strongly condemned. 1t is expected
that these cases will be appealed to the
United States court, which will be {
course tending to effectually settle al
doubt,
