REPUBLICAN WEAKENING.

The republican press is very hard to
suit especially in the conduct of dem
ocratic administration. A notable ex-
ample of this is the New York Tribune,
which is now trying to bolster up the
obstructionists in the senate on account
of MIR Cleveland's assumption OF the
right to control the action of congress
and TO dictate the policy of the govern
ment in all it's departments" The par
ticulars of this alleged assumption are
set forth thus:
In so far as Mr.. CIeveland's acts are
public and official on the pending con-
troversy they have been emlnently
sound. patriotic and well directed. But
in rapid succession rumors have been
coming from Washington of influences
the president has been exerting which
lay him open TO just criticism and tend
seriously TO injure the cause he is un-
dOubtedly anxious 20 promote. It is
represented. and generally In organs de-
voted to the president, and as If IL were
matter for which he was to be praised
and not censured. that he is treating the
silver senator's with great arrogance,
assuring them that he will tolerate no
other issue of the situation than UNI
conditional repeal, and giving them TO
understand that they can look for no
white house favor unless their action Is
attuned TO his views and wishes.
The only Organs devoted to the
president to which the Tribune refers
in support of its statement are the New
York Herald and the New York Sun,
the one an independent paper and the
other the leader Of opposition to Mr..
Cleveland. This would be sufficient to
dispose of the case, but let us look
back for a few months and see what
there is i'm the charge. In the first
place Mr.. Cleveland had no intention OF
calling congress together until Septem-
Der, and then not to consider the silver
question. but the tariff question. This
was publicly announced before the panic.
came on and Mr.. Cleveland repeated
the statement I'm his message to con-
grass. When the panic began to work
havoc there was a general demand for
an earlier special session, and the re-
publican press. the Tribune included.
berated the president for not making
haste to call congress together and Sc
cure the repeal of the Sherman law,
which was doing all the damage. Mr..
Cleveland yielded to the general demand
and called congress together. He sent

In a brief. straightforward message call
ing attention TO the condition OF the
country and then retired TO Buzzard's
Bay.
The republican press then began 20
abuse Mr.. Cleveland for leaving his post
when he might have great deal OF in
fiuence in securing the repeal OF the
Sherman law, and printed sarcastic COM
ments on his fishing while the country
suffered from the evil effects OF the
became evident that the house would
pass the repeal bill. Then the repub-
lican press began the clamor that the
panic was not due 10 the Sherman law,
continued until Mr.. Cleveland returned
TO Washington. Now a new departure
is taken by the Tribune as above quoted.
The Tribune Is huch concerned over
the affront to the senate by this awful
assumption of the president. II says:
The senate OF the United States is a
body unused TO executive dictation. IL
knows its rights under the constitution,
and would be entitled TO small respect
II IL surrendered them TO the president.
II Is not necessary in order to ac-
complsh repeal 10 treat senator's as II
they were a public nuisance, nor do
such methods have any other than an
unfortunate effect on the interests they
aim to serve. There is a majority In
favor OF repeal in the senate beyond
doubt. and there Is n tremendous pub
lie opinion behind ~. IL rs right and
IL Is sure 10 win. II can only be defeat
ed. indeed, by that sort Of pressure upon
the minority which Il can Justly resent
and make the excuse for such flibuster-
ing proceedings as otherwise it would
be both ashamed and afraid 10 attempt.
This gives away" the whole case.
How can Mr.. Cleveland be debating TO
the senate IL the majority of the senate
favor what Mr.. Cleveland favors? II he
is debating 10 anybody Il can be only
to the minority. who defiantly announce
that they propose 10 control legislation.
Why should Mr.. Cleveland or anyone
else extend aid and comfort 20 a minor
ity in its efforts 10 prevent the majority
from doing a laudable thing7 Why
should the Tribune eritIcise him for not
helping such a minority. especially when
II processes TO approve what Mr.. Cleve-
land approves? This is the thinnest,
siclSliest assault that has yet been made
on the administration.

AN OPPRESSED RAILROAD.

On Monday that eloquent and accom-
plished advocate. Mr.. A. C. Harris, made
a grand bluff at the tax commission in
the interest OF the Union railway and
the Belt. 1t is to be regretted that
Marion county's commissioners had no
representative on hand to answer him,
but for some mysterious reason the COM
missioners seem to have lost interest in
maintaining a just assessment of rail-
road property in this county Last year
these two properties were assessed at
$4,000. 900. This year the tax commission
has already made a reduction Of over
81 900 900 for which there is no earthly
excuse, and Mr.. Harris now asks a fur
Their reduction of 100000 The argu-
ments on which he bases his plea are

OF their savings. The yield is largely
Increased and oftentimes the personal
work is unnecessary.
Yet. II the point be we'll taken. the
way TO overcome the difficulty is not to
blot the schools out OF existence but TO
add the actual work OF the farm as the
student progresses in his studies. There
is nothing unpleasant about even the
worst drudgery OF the farm. II II is
done with an understanding of the ne
cessity OF doing 1t. and done with the
least possible waste Of time and energy.
II is the special province OF these schools
TO teach all this; and nobly they are do
ing the work. Let them be encouraged
and let the young men think about TAX
ing a course at such a school. The cost
is slight; the benefit incalculable-

Let us proceed to business,

1t IS remarkable how Mr.. Teller can
see one thing without seeing another by
the side of Il that is equally conspicuous
The telegraph reports of yesterday con-
tain this statement OF a portion OF the
senate discussion:
Everybody was a bimetallist, said Mr.
Teller. and yet he could point to many
professed bimetallists in the senate who
had never given a vote In favor OF bi-
metalhsm. IL was a bimetallism I'm
which gold was the standard and silver
was subordinate 10 II.
That is very true. There is no bimet-
allism without a double standard. BIZ
metallism on a gold standard IS as alb
surd a perversion OF language as would
be a bivalve with one shell, binomial
with one term. or a bicycle with one
wheel. But at the same time free coin
age Of silver by this country would nec-
essarily produce silver monometaIlism,
unless we had international bimetalllsm,
and Mr.. Teller knows 1t. He is as much
a monometallist as any man be criticises.

A merchant writing to the Journal of
Commerce and Commercial Bulletin
gives this interesting information con-
corning the sugar trust:
Some time since we imported a lot
OF refined sugar from Scotland, which
at the time showed a profit; but as
soon as It arrived and the American
sugar refining company became aware
of this fact they ordered the price of
this grade to be lowered while other
grades remained unchanged. This
showed not only malignant spirit, but
an un-American dog-eat-dog way of
ably import white granulated sugar
and sell II below the trust price, but
would not think II wise TO do so as long
as this monopoly wields such gigantic
power and knowing how they have so
numerically used 1t against importers
of raw sugar. While the officers of this
trust may laugh at their ingenuity and
shrewdness I'm forcing importers las

their dictatorial terms, we believe a

tress which they brought upon the la
boring man and his family when they
closed their refineries and deprived him

vored by the Mckinley bill by the i'm
position of an additional one-half cent.

trust clear profit OF about seventeen

At this time when the tariff tricksters
are especially loud in their predictions
OF calamity the Boston Herald calls at
tention 70 similar predictions In England
which were never fulfilled, and further
says:
II is notable fact. too. in this con-
nection, that In the experience Of our
own country under a low tariff a
parallel TO that OF Great Britain is af-
torded. In our own country. the only
tarlH that ever gave general satisfaction
was the low tariff Of 1886 supplemented
by the still lower tariff of 1857 that fol-
lowed It, Confident and vehement as are
the prophesies Of the evil effects IL the
Mckinley tariff Is changed now, they
were oNceeded by what was predicted
then. The whole OF our manufacturing
industry was TO be ruined; 10 quote more
specifically. the largest manufacturer Of
New England prophesied that every cot
ton mill In New England would be
closed in six months. That tariff Of
1886 was passed, and, so far from clos
ing, the cotton mills and all the other
mills OF New England entered upon a
season OF unprecedented prosperity.
II is a fact not 10 be forgotten
that the only time in which the coun-
try has been entirely satisfied with its
tariffs. when, indeed, no party opposed
them, was In the period during which
the tariffs OF 1876 and OF 1857 were In
operation. The tariff OF 1857. which
made the duties OF 1886 still lower. had
the votes. not only OF the South and the
democratic party. but OF the North and
the republican party. including every
member or Congress In both branches,
all being republicans, from the state OF
Massachusetts,. Charles Sumner left

igencies OF the approaching war made

Under the title of Confused Terms
the Chicago Record undertakes 10 set
the country right as TO the meaning OF
'bimetallism," and relieve It of the i'm
preston that there can be no bimetal-
lism on single standard. 1t says:
There can be but one standard OF
value In which all other values must be
expressed This single standard is nat
urally the one which Is the most wide
spread I'm it's uses, the most convenient
and which IS the most acceptable. This
single standard is, by natural selection,
supplemented by Legislation, gold. Sill
yer has its value measured by and ex-
pressed In gold because gold is the COM
mon denomination Of all values. The
proposition now IL to adjust silver coins

dollar contain approximately a gold dol
lars worth Of silver. The gold standard
idea Is not inharmonious with bimetal-
ism On the other hand, monometal-
ism. which some confuse with the single
standard, contemplates the disuse OF
silver as a money metal altogether and
the use only OF gold and paper based
on gold resumption OF on securities pay
