The Tariff Thinkers.

Last summer and fall, when the silver
bill was pending, free traders were sure
that all the trouble in the business world
was due to the operation of the Sherman
law, although everybody knows that that
law was passed in 1890, and no panic en-
sued so long as the Republicans were in
control of the government. They were
cocksure then that impending changes in
the tariff had nothing to do with tho
monetary stringency and the closing of
shops and factories. The change which
they expected to follow the enactment of
the repeal bill has not come, however,
and now they arc singing different tune,
and saying that uncertainty about tariff
legislation" is undoubtedly the cause of
the present trouble in manufacturing in
dustries. But with characteristic faulty
they insist that this is one of the strong
est possible arguments for speedy enact
ment of the Wilson bill. If they we're
not so blind they would see that the re-
suit in Ohio last month was trumpet
call to them to leave off tariff-tinkering
altogether.-New York Tribune.

What the bond brokers of Wall street
have been predicting and wishing for so
long in the management of the Santa Fe
road has at last come to pass. Up to a
few days ago President Reinhart expect
ed that the company would be able to
pay the January interest on its bonds,
but the death of George G. Magoun upset
the arrangements and made receiver
ship necessary.
The Santa Fe last annual report, pub
lished only couple of weeks ago, shows
that the receipts of the company not only
exceeded the operating expenses. taxes,
interest on indebtedness and all other
expenses for the year ending June 30,
but that the surplus was larger than it
had ever been before. The receipts have
fallen off considerable since June, but the
reduction in expenses has been sufficient

Squeeze That Left Him Poor

New York, Feb. 23-Rufus Hatch,
the once famous Wall street magnate,
died this afternoon at his residence in
sputenduyvil at o'clock. Mr.. Hatch
was sixty-two years old. lie retired
from "the street" two years ago and had
been failing in health ever since. The
immediate canso of death was compli'

TnH nl.MNrALnlo LEAGUE

Adopts II Strong Set Of Resolutions.
Pledged to an Aggressive Campaign.
WASHINGTON, D. o., Feb. 2S,-At to-
days session OF the American Bi-metal-
lie League the committee on rules made
the following report:
Whereas The great moral and
financial crime of the nineteenth CEN
tury was tho demoraiizine Of silver in
1878 by the Congress OF the United
Strtes acting under the influence oil
British persuasion and British interest
and whereas, said act was destructive
of the interests OF the American people.
and in disregard OF the financial policy
inaugurated at the beginning Of the
government under the wise guidance
OF such statesmen as Washington,
Hamilton and Jefferson, and for
mulated in the act founding
the mint of the United States in 1902,
which established tho just ratio be-
tween gold and silver rs mint metals;
therefore, in behalf OF the wrouged peo-
Pile and the suffering industries of the
land, we demand tho free and unlim-
ited coinage OF silver at the present
ratio OF IL TO /. We denounce as un-
constitutional and revolutionary all leg
islation which in any way discriminates
between silver and gold us money
metals.
1--WE denounce it as inconsistent with
sound public policy to confer or advise
directly or indirectly with any foreign
nation as to what the money or curren-
cy OF the United States should be.
awe denounce the recent attempt to
repeal the act OF 1890 requiring tho
treasury department to make monthly
purchases OF silver, ms menace to the
prosperity OF the country and an at
tempt to repeal the emergency COM
promise forced upon us at that time,
and We will resist its repeal by all
legitimate means at our hand unless it
be so substituted in lieu thereof free and
unlimited coinage OF silver.
"Wc also denounCe the measure now
pending before Congress to authorize
an additional issue OF government bonds
and declare it to be our purpose to con-
tinue our struggle until justice is
secured, and to this end We will make
unremitting effort to educate and
arouse public sentiment. We will i'm
nediately open the contest in the mid
die and eastern states and We call upon
all fair minded people in all sections oI
the union TO aid us in this struggle for
Industrial emancipation" The report
gave rise to considerable discussion,
but was finally adopted unanimously.
lIcwey Jones, OF Atlanta, Ga, declared
that the president-elect had larger
following in this Congress than he
| would have in tho next.
