Fort Worth Gazette, in ignorance
of Governor Ireland's intentions,
says that he is getting ready to
break into the United States
Senate. Governor Ireland says
that he is out of politics and would
not accept seat in the Senate if
offered. There is certainly moth
ing in that body as at present con-
stituted to present any attractions
to as good a Democrat as the Ex-
governor. Hon. John Ireland has
put his shoulder to the wheel to

age, according to the department Of agri-
culture, OF 100000 is only a, foretaste of
the final fate OF wool, even in the country
where the annual product now stands the
third largest of the world. The large de-
mand for foreign wool to supply the home
deficiency will create peremptory demands
for gold to balance the adverse foreign
account. Wool is not only about to be
slaughtered, but it seems tore-ordained by
the Sangrado democratic leaders that no
interest or product Of the farmer shall es-
cape being bled by the bill reported. Grain
of all kinds, cattle, horses, sheep, hogs,
lard, butter, cheese, milk, flax, hemp, hay,
straw, eggs and poultry are all to have
something OF their prosperity Withdrawn,
either by the total loss of protection or by
a radical reduction of tariff duties. This
serves to show that revenue reformers love
our Canadian %neighbOrs much better than
ourselves. No wonder that the hilarious
tory leader there should tell his people
that the Wilson bill "gives Canada all she
wants without s%urrendering anything"

SENATOR MoRR1L, the father of pro
lection in the United States senate, gave
the American farmer a talk recently,
which that latter parsonage should con
slider seriously. Senator Morril, in
speaking of the Wilson measure, said:
The tariff portion of this bill makes its
destructive purpose prominent by an as
sault upon each and every production of
the farmer. 1t cuts the jugular of sheep
%husbandry by consigning wool to the free
list and to the tender mercy of free trade
American woOlgrowing in competition with
the cheap LABOR and cheap pasturage of
Australia, Africa and South America must
perish. Even the long wool sheep for NUT
ton are likely to be mainly supplied by
Canada. With the removal of 10 cents per
pound ION clothing woods the flocks upon
our thousand hills will disappear. The
good shepherds who have invested more
than five hundred millions of capital to up
hold this industry and to gain a modest
support will find themselves caught in a
tariff thicket to be offered up as a sacrifice
to a democratic theory only. The fact that
in wool under protection from 1892 to 1893,
there was an increase in one year of 81.

is entitled to continued favor. The further

with irrigation. The labOrers should be
given a chance to select these lands, and
protected in acquiring title. The govern
ment would be repaid by increase in the
material wealth, and nothing would so
and which IS the tramp. North Dakota
would gladly welcome the trial of such a
solution of the vexed question. Congress
should see to this without delay. Thirty
days attention would be ample to start the
improvement. The levels of the Missouri

The spring elections in Indiana are
significant of the feeling of voters, re-
garding democracy. The mining dis
tricts, all of the manufacturing districts,
and the great majority of all of the
towns in the state we're carried by the
republicans. Towns which have been
always democratic, have turned and
given republican majorities, and those
few towns which were carried by the
democrats we're carried by greatly re-
duced pluralities. From the result of
the elections, it is evident that de-
mocracy does not stand the test of time
and of supremacy in national affairs.
Voters, who two years ago carried
Cleveland badges, and hurrahed for de-
mocracy, have learned a lesson from
months of idleness, owing to the closing
up of the factories where they were en-
ployed. Laborers of all classes are not
30 enamored Of free trade as they we're
at the '92 elections, and the democratic
defeat Of the spring, will be repeated
next fall, and more severely.

GENERAL CoxEY cuts a sorry figure
these times. Arrested for the creation
of a disturbance about the capitol, the
redoubtable general has been found
guilty, and, with his side lights, Brown
and Jones, is liable to fine or imprison-
ment. Then, too, his divorced wife is
after him, for the abduction of her
daughter, and threatens to make things
warm for him. MI. Coxey has probably
discovered ere this, that the way of the
reformer-of the Coxey kinds Ainty
and rough, and full of thorns, and OBJ
stacles. In fact, it looks now as though
the Coxey movement had received a
pretty thorough setback, and it will
probably die out, gradually and without
demonstration IN passing. That which
agitators were pleased to call the "revo-
luton of the Masses" is expiring of it's
own foolishness and nonense.

year. The part of the financial state
ment from which he derived his ~statisti-
cal information, is the third division, a
statement of disbursements from April
l, 1893, to April l, 1894. This contains,
first, a statement of warrants paid. The
statement includes, of course, all war
rants for previous years, which were
called in from time to time, as there we're
funds to pay them, as we'll as warrants
which were paid from funds, which are
designated, cash funds-those in which
there are always funds to cash warrants.
Then there is an item of over $4,000 Of
school money-a fund with which the
city has absolutely nothing to do, be-
You'd beng the medium of collection and
turning over to the school board-but
Mr.. Braithwaite figured this in also, as a
part of the expenses of last year. Then
there is a little item of $4,000 of interest
on bonds, which has to be paid each
year, and which the council has no
power to regulate, but Mr.. Braithwaite
figured this in also, to prove that the
council of last year was recklessly profit
gate. Then there is $500 of state in
surance money, which was received
from the state and paid out again to the
fire department., and this also is reckoned
as Il part of last years expenses-and to
cap the climax, after having figured in
all of the warrants on cash funds which
have been paid during the year, together
with warrants of previous years, Mr..
Braithwaite cody doubles the sum by
adding in the sum total of the warrants
issued during the year, thus calculating
a small item Of $1,000 twice in arriving
at the conclusion he desires! Now it
will readily he seen that, so long as no
bills are paid except by warrants, the
sum total of the warrants issued during
the year must be the total expenditures
of the council. The sum total of the
warrants issued last year was s11,4l2.S8,
and yet Mr.. Braithwaite, by an ingenious
and altogether novel system of calcula-
ton, discovered and announced to the
world that last years council spent
$4,000, just three times the actual ex-
penditures of that body.

FIVE REASONS,

Henry Clews gives five reasons for
confidence in the revival of industry, as
follows:
l. The wearying discussion Of the
tariff question is apparently nearing its
end, and the prospect, at the moment, is
that by midsummer the bill will become
law, and in a form much more salts
factory to the manufacturing interests
than has hitherto been anticipated.
,. When that conclusion is reached,
the industries and the trade of the coun-
try will be released from the bonds Of
dispense that has kept both idle for the
last twelve mouths.
3. The present condition of the crop
suggests a fair probability Of an abund-
ant harvest; which is. always conducive
to prosperous trade and to activity of
transportation.
4. Europe, and especially it's large
industrial nations, is coming out OF the
severe commercial depression : from
which it has been suffering since the
close of 1890; the recovery in England,
France and Germany being especially
marked. This change may be expected
to show it's effects in an increased de-
mand for our exports and a better tone
in the markets for our great staples, as
well as in an improved inquiry for our
Investments at a later stage.
S. Europe is also emerging from its
entanglements of conflicting information
al politics and tariffs, with the attendant
constant dangers of war. For the last
ten years, each successive spring has
been expected to introduce some great
International conflict; and, though ways
have been found for staving off the
seemingly inevitable struggle, yet it has
been at the constantly increasing ex-
pense of exhaustive taxation and para
lying distrust in international finance
and enterprise. Thanks to the conserva-
tive councils of the emperors of Ger
many and Russia, there is reason to hope
that the causes of these political jeal-
ousies have been so far adjusted as to
afford grounds for the hope of a lasting
European peace. When these hopes
come 10 be verified by a fuller knowl-
edge of the facts of the new understand
ing, the revival of confidence at the great
European centres, added to the now cur
rent imprOyement in commercial mar
kets, can hardly fail to produce an I'M
usual extent of revival in the various
forms of investment, enterprise and
speculation.
