WASHINGTON LETTER.
sPEcIAL CORRESPONDENTS OF THE MONITOR
Washington, June 20, 1898.

Washington, June 20, 1898.
Strange things happen when dem
ocratic administration is in power
One would naturally suppose that the
President and his Cabinet would re-
joice at the turn of the gold tide from
Europe towards the United States,
and the consequent decided improve
ment in the financial situation, but on
the contrary it seems to have caused
them grief. Mr. Cleveland has ex-
pressed his fears to more than one
man that if the situation continues to
improve Congress might not repeal
the Sherman Silver law as promptly
as it would were the country in dire
financial distress. 1t is really God
send to the country that there is an
improvement in the financial outlook,
although it is natural causes and not
any act or acts of the administration
that have brought it about. If the
improvement continues until after
Congress meets it will have the effect
of preventing any hasty and ill-con-
sidered financial legislation, which
might easily make things deal worse
than they are or would be with no
legislation at all.
And closely allied with the finance
question = more closely than the
average democrat seems capable of
compromising = is that of the tariff.
There can be no doubt that the foolish
talk of certain prominent democrats
about the certainty of radical changes
being made in our whole tariff system
has had more to do with bringing
about the shaky feeling in financial
circles than everything else added
together. While few, if any, men
really believe that the democrats will
be foolish enough to make such cuts
in the tariff as have been threatened,
such cuts as would if actually made
make thousands of bankrupts out of
men who are now fairly prosperous
as manufacturers, large and small,
and million tramps out of working
men now profitably employed, still
the making of those threats has had
the effect of creating feeling of dread
and uncertainty as to just what they
will do, and as a natural consequence
millions of capital that would other
wise be actively employed is now
locked up and business men are daily
making assignments because of their
inability to borrow money upon secu-
rites which under ordinary circum
stances would have been gladly ac
copied as collateral for the money they |
necessarily have to borrow to success
fully carry on their business.

General News Items.

NEW YORK, June 80. = The Herdld's
Valparaiso, Chill, special says: There
is much excitement throughout Chill
among mine owners and dealers in
silver on account of the fall in the
price of silver. 1t is likely that all the
silver mines will be closed down ex-
cept the celebrated Huanchaca mine.
NORWICH, Conn, June 25.-Saturdav
evening between and O'Clock, the
little Swear old daughter of Abram
Hertz of Tolman street was burned to
death by a gasoline stove. Her sister
Lena, aged IA, was probably fatally
burned while putting out the child
clothing, and younger child had her
arm badly burned.
DENVER, COL, June 90. "A LARGE
body of represen tative smelling and
mining men Of the state met here TO-
day and unanimously decided to close
down all the silver mines, mills and
smelters in Colorado until such a time
as silver is appreciated at it's proper
worth. This action will throw nearly
$4,000 persons out Of work.
CHICAGO, JUNE 20. A stiff breeze
blowing from the lake, the sun shin
ing from blue and cloudless slxv was
the inviting weather that tempted
sightseers to the Fair Sunday. Still
with all the pleasant weather the
crowd that visited the ground was .
very small one in proportion to what
was expected by the Sunday openers
New England's State buildings were
all tightly closed; nothing unusual
occurring from the regular Sunday
regime.
TICoNDEROGA. n. Y, June 27.-The
Sycamore hotel at Lake George was
burned early this morning. The fire
was first discovered at about 1870
O'Clock and within three hours the
building was almost total loss. The
loss is estimated at $500. OG0. No one
was injured. There were about loo
guests at the house besides servants
The Sycamore was located on Green
island, near Bolton, and was one of
the finest summer hotels in the conn
try. 1t was owned by a stock com
pany, composed mainly of Philadel-
phia capitalists.

PENSIONS DO NOT LMPOVERLSH.

This government is paying pensions
to the amount, in round numbers, of
S16O, 900 annually = a great sum it
is true, but only $3.50 per capita.
Practically not a dollar Of this goes
out of the country. Those who con-
tribute, directly or indirectly, to the
revenues of the government pay it,
not knowing how it is done. Those
few who purchase costly foreign goods
pay part of it; those who consume
liquors contribute toward it; very
few of the SO called necessaries of life
have been taxed little to raise the
revenues of government; somebody
in the South, who made pensions a
necessity is helping pay them. But
greater than all these sources is that
sum contributed by foreign producers,
who come into this country to sell at
a greater price, after duties are paid,
their wool, their cloth, their iron or 9TH
er products to those who are able to
purchase, both the necessaries and
the luxuries of life. So we'll have the
affairs of this great nation been man
aged that all her revenues, including
her pension money, are raised with
out putting known and felt burden
on any one.
Pension money is better distributed
than any money the government ex
ponds. 1t goes into almost every
home where there is or was a patriot,
who in the time of the country's peril
stood up to beat back the enemies
who sought so hard to destroy the
nation. The money helps and sup
ports many who, manned, shattered
and enfeebled would be the objects of
charity or the inmates of poor houses
were it not for this means of support.
The pensioners money, after it buys
his food and his clothing, or pays his
doctors bills, goes into every channel
of trade and of business, helping and
sustaining things of trade and neces-
sity which would anguish were it not
for this money set in motion during
the year.
1t is probable that within a year the
money that goes out for pensions
comes back into the government
treasures, having all the while been
on mission of good or of business
usefulness. So it goes, out and in,
doing its work, injuring nobody and
blessing all. The man who begrudges
an old soldier pension, as rule, is
not a patriot. There is something
about him that would have made a
copperhead of him had he lived in
rebellion times.
The writer is not pensioner, but
he belongs to that class who gladly
contribute little something to that
deserving class, who in the time of
national peril were ready to stand
where danger threatened and where

the Michigan house of Representatives,
fifty to twenty five, and the
senate eighteen to eleven, and has

In view of the fact that the entire
sum paid for purchase of silver bull
ion under the provisions of the Sher-
man silver law has been only $780,
rison administration paid off nearly
$134, 900, 900 in gold bonds before they
matured, is it not little absurd to at
tribute the present financial condition
of the country to republican legisla-
ton?

Thus over 1882, O0O,00 of Tariff rev.
enue could be annually raised. This
is all that is required. The entire rev.
enue raised from the Mckinley Tariff
during the year ending June 80, 1892,
was less than $3.50 100000, and the
estimate for the present year is $780,
100000. By this substitute Tariff,
which is simplicity itself, sufficient
revenue might be raised, every shred
and vestige of unconstitutional Pro-
lection might be stripped from the
Tariff, and the Democratic demand
for Tariff ''for revenue only'' might
be met.
This is the British method. It would
raise the price of what the people
buy, and take away their labor as ar
tisans or workmen, cutting them both
ways, like a two edged sword The
Democracy dare not do it. Let them
try, and then look out for cyclone

ocratic national platform. Consider
the Mckinley Tariff law repealed in
its entirety. This simple Tariff may
be substituted in it's stead, and not
only carry out the Chicago declara-
ton of the Democracy, but, combined
with the internal revenue taxes, will

Eddy Visitors Talk of Prosperous Con-

Locality.

Sheriff d. L. Kemp and County Sur
veyor T. H. Peitz, of Eddy county, are
sojourning in the territorial capital for
few days. 1t strengthens mans faith
in New Mexico's future to hear these visi-
tors talk of the growth and development
of the lower Pecos country. On the big
dams of the Pecos Irrigation & Improve
ment company Sheriff Kemp says 500
men and 25O teams arc now employed and
the work ceases neither night nor day.
The dams are much more substantial than
such works ordinarily are. The i'm
pounding of water has already COM
menced and the great system of canals
will be running full of the precious auid
by January l.
After these water enterprises are
finished, say along in February, it is said
to be the intention of the company to
transfer the working forces to the Pecos
Valley railroad and push the construction
of the Roswell extension.

Washington, Nov. 27.-Tho issue OF
short term treasury bills Is under con-
sideration by the ways and means com
mittee and this will probably be recon-
mended to congress as a means to bridge
over the temporary deficit in the treasury.
Representatives Wilson, Breckenridge,

the best means for injecting the emer-

THE TARIFF BILL.
The long looked for Democratic tariff
bill was presented to the full committee
of ways and means at IL O'Clock this
morning.

places
ON THE FREE LIST
the following articles: Wool, lumber
iron, salt and lead ore. 1t is most ex-
haustiye document and purely a Demo-
cratic measure.
The Republican members of the COM
mittee had no knowledge Of the provi.
sions of the bill only from hearsay until
it was read this morning.
Chairman Wilson seems
PROUD OF THE BILL
and REQ uested that the statement be made
that President Cleveland had not prom

result of his placing coal on the free list
This is not regarded as popular move
