Secretary Carlisle will wish he had
never been born when he hears inst
what the average citizen in all partios
thinks of his rushing the bond Issue
There will be no end to this the latest
outrage. The treasury deficit is due
first, to extravaganza that the extra
session of Congress ought to have
stopped; second, to the panic brought
on by the characterization of silver,
The people have been thrown out Of
work, wages reduced, their business
stopped or greatly reduced in volume
and the revenues fell off accordingly,
Without a change in several matters
and the reconciliation of silver, the
treasury deficit will last forever and
even get greater, consequently the
bond issue will be perpetual and we
will become a nation of bondholders
and paupers. We are very much that
way now.

his fight against the confirmation Of
Collector Simmons, and something may
drop soon. Vance is hard to down.
Simmons scalp may yet dangIe beside
that Of Kope Elias.
The Federal election law is before

tatoes.
