joyous revelation to the dramatic
world. The association Of Mr.. Frederick
Warde and Mr.. Louis James for the pur-
pose of presenting on magnificent scale
the productions of Shakespeare and
other classic authors, is an arrangement
upon which the American public is to be
congratulated. Mr.. Warde, with whom
the idea originated, has been very liberal
in the expenditure of money and time,
and as a result he has organized COM

price at which tea was selling might in
duce our own people TO 60 into the tea in
dustry. 1t might be found that with tea
at dollar pound the industry was
profitable. But at this point the revenue
duty becomes protective. A tariff that
was constitutional befors the tea industry
became established in the United States
would be unconstitutional as soon as we
began to grow tea here. A law that
would be constitutional one year would
become unconstitutional few years later
Dy the effect of its own operation. OF
course no law can hold such relation to
the constitution. A constitutional law
cannot work Its own unconstitutionality.
Yet this is what our revenue-tariff friends
assume can be done
The absurdity of the tariff -for-revenue
proposition may be as we'll shown by cof-
Zee. sugar or other articles of foreign i'm
port. A duty of two cents pound on
sugar might. and probably would. in time
transfer the sugar industry from foreign
countries 20 our own. But a twO-cent
duty which would be legal as a revenue
measure would become unconstitutional
as measure to promote home industries.
The Democratic party. therefore. is ar
rayed by its own platform as the especial
enemy OF American industries.

fact that he has figured as a mugwump
should not be considered as uniting him
10 hold Office. Mugwumps have their uses.
They serve as restraining force upon the
party machine when politician of an
ardent temperament gets hold of the crank.
That Mr.. Cleveland should have kindly
feeling for mugwumps is to be expected.
1t was the mugwumps who discovered him.
Mr.. Cleveland did not rise naturally 20
prominence as most of our public men have
done. He had never distinguished himself
in any way when the Democrats made a
kind of dark-lantern search for candi-
date for Governor who could beat Presi-
dent Arthur's candidate. They wanted
new man. one who could poll the full DEM
Ocratic vote and few thousand from other
sources. The Democratic leaders held out
Cleveland as a bait TO the mugwumps and
their angling was not in vain. The 100000
foolish Republicans who refused to vote
that year enabled the Democrats to score
an unprecedented majority. Hence. Gro
yer Cleveland.

IN AND OUT.

1t was very fortunate for the President
that the ex-Queen of the Hawaiian Islands
declined the condition upon which he pro-
posed to restore her to the throne Had she
consented 10 grant the members of the Pro-
visional Government amnesty. and to have
recognized their acts as the acts of Gov
ernment the President would have been un-
der en implied obligation to put her back
on the throne. She could not be expected
to know that it was not in his power to do
80. She is not one of the kind of rulers
who let constitutional restriction stand in
their way. But the desire of the Queen TO
see President Dole hang defeated President
Cleveland's purpose. AS il is very clear
that Congress would not have given him
authority to employ force to restore the
Queen, the phenomenal folly of the Queen
In rejecting the Presidents condition NAV
be considered in the nature of provi-
Dental interposition in the Presidents
behalf. The President, however. cannot
count on the continuance of such luck. 1t
is extremely unlikely that he will repeat
edly be saved from the legitimate conse-
quence Of his own acts. The least he can
do in the case under consideration ia to
write letter to the great and good"
Queen. thanking her for not consenting to
the terms he had proposed.

FACE TO FACE WITH CONSE.
QUENCES.

Ihe pathetic paragraph in Secretary
Carlisle's report is the statement of the
condition of the treasury. There is
S499, $50, 420 demand notes of the Govern
ment outstanding, every dollar of which
under the present law is payable in gold.
There is S419, 332, $50 of legal tender sill
yer. of which 1884, 138. 5O4 is in circulation
in the form of silver certificates, which the
treasury is required to maintain at parity
with gold. This condition would certainly
be serious if the nation were less rich and
its credit less firmly established. There
seems to be sum close upon $1,000. 900. 900
that needs to be provided for.
Under the Band-AllIson act all the legal
tenders were redeemable in silver. The
treasury did redeem the few that were
presented in gold. but in case of run bull
wark ofsilver could have been created with
out notice. France now hands over silver
when the sum demanded is larger than
she likes to pay In gold. The precise legal
status of the Bland-Allison act has not
been determined since the Sherman act
repealed the part of the Bland-Alison act
which provided for the coinage of silver.
The more recent repeal of the silver-uur
chasing clause of the Sherman act leaves
the Bland-Allison act in the form of debris.
Whether there is any force in the pro-
vision of that act which makes the 412k-
grain silver dollar full legal tender NAV
not readily be determined. The silver
dollars are 5 yet received for Government
dues. but it does not follow that an admin
istratlon hostile to silver would use them
as money OF ultimate redemption. IL is
not surprising therefore that Secretary
Carlisle wants authority to issue S2OO. .OOO.-
600 OF gold bonds. The proportion of gold
in the treasury now is less than one to
i've Of the obligations held TO be redeem
able In gold, to say nothing of S419, ,o0O. 900
OF silver which, according to the present
treasury construction of law, is redeem
able In gold. The policy of the present
administration in effecting the complete
decentralization of silver places the United
States in position to become a large bor-
rover of gold.
The morning call., 1893-12-21
SURPLUS AND DEFICIT.

Mr.. Cleveland has had some experience
In dealing with surplus, and he is now
confronted with the necessity of dealing
with deficit. While he may not have
contributed materially to the disappear
ance of the surplus, it may be well to note
the fact that the surplus appeared as the
result of twenty-five years Of Republican
rule, while the deficiency shows itself
with unpleasant persistence early in the
second term of a Democratic administra-
tion. Mr.. Carlisle proposes to deal with
the deficiency in way somewhat familiar
to Southern planters in the old slave DAYS.
When at the end of a year there was a
lack Of ready money the planter would
borrow few thousand dollars to meet the
deficiency with. This system of finance
worked admirably until debts approached
in magnitude the value of the plantation.
For results the reader is referred to Bouci-
cault's popular drama of "The Octoroon,"
Secretary Carlisle thinks that with
S200,000,000 of borrowed money he can
tide over the coming year. he expects a
revival of business and consequent in
crease in the revenue from homo indus
tries. The Secretary also hopes that re-
ductions in duties proposed by the new
tariff bill will increase importatons. The
fact that realization Of this hope would
deprive American work1ngmen of some
work they have done under the present
tariff is not considered. What the Secre-
tary is after is revenue.

CHICAGO ELECTION,

The 10000 names placed on the registra-
tion lists since the November election ap-
pear not to have been entirely ornamental
The vote was one of the largest ever
polled in that city and the Democratic ma
jority was reduced to 1887. The 80, 600 ma
jority given in 1892 to Cleveland has
dwindled some what. but not as much as
was expected. Swift. the Republican can

there seems a basis for the claim that his
course as acting Mayor made him power

candidate, is pledged to make railroad

Thomas Magee advocates a policy of

means OF attracting Europeans hther.

the scenery of their districts extensivel

Mr.. Magee points out that nearly four
million tourists visit Switzerland in the

ON THE FARM SIDE.

For many years past the statements
| have been lndustriously circulated that a
very large majority of the farms in the
United States were mortgaged for more
than they were worth. The deduction
from this statement is that agriculture
In this country was not prosperous busi-
ness. The impression was strengthened
by another that throughout the North
west the lOanlDg of money at high rates Of
interest on farm mortgages had been we'll
nigh universal, and that the borrowers
were not paying up. but were suffering
foreclosures. There was grain of truth
In all this, but il was not the whole truth
nor the best part of it,.
Two agricultural papers, the american
Farmer and the american Agriculturist,
have recently made a searching inquiry
into the truth of these statements. 1t
points out that three-fourths of all the
farms in the United States are owned free
of incumbrance.
"Out of every hundred American farms
more than seventy-one are fully raid for
and less than thirty are morlgaged. The
average mortgage represents only one
third the value of the farm on which it is
secured. The total value of the farm
mortgages in the whole country is hardly
One-tenth the total value of all our farms.
In 1880 nearly one-fifth of the mortgage
Indebtedness was vested on farms, but in
1890 farm mortga ges represented only one
seventh of the country's Indebtedness on
real estate. FouT-fifths OF the amount of
debt on farms and homes was incurred
for the commendable purpose of buying
and improving the property, and like
inn Of har
homes were mOrtgaged for the same pur-
pose."
In 1880 the morigaged debt of the
United States was about equally divided
between urban lots and farm tracts. But
in 1890 only 81 per cent of that mortgage
debt was on acres, while &c per cent was
upon urban property. Most of the facts
have been drawn from census data. But
there Is no reason to suppose that they
wonld be greatly modified if brought
up to the present date. The truth is,
farm property is freer from debt than it
has been at any former time during the
last quarter of century.
A very large proportion OF farms are
bought on credit. or they were a few years
ago. A payment was made down and the
purchaser made mortgage for the back
payments. In time he made the farm paw
for Itself, while all the while it supported
family. A large proportion of the agri-
culturists did better than this. They
paid of their mortgages and then laid up
money. The great increase in the proper
tlons OF urban mortgages results probably
from speculatiOns that have been going
on IN Western towns and cities during the
last ten years in real estate. But if the
facts cited are approximately correct, and
there is good authority behind them. no
great industrial business has been prose-
cuted in this country with greater aver
age degree Of prosperity than agriculture.
