What Has Congress Done?

New York World
When the Republicans got out little
book entitled "What Congress Has
Done" with its contents of blank pages,
IT,! Joke was fully appreciated by Dem
ocrats as we'll as Republicans, but now
that its work is really completed and its
membership has returned to the people
for the verdict of approval or otherwise,
IL becomes OF interest to note what COLI
gress has done. To Congressman Nc
Millin, Of Tennessee, it would seem, his
Democratic associates delegated the
preparation OF Il Semi-Otficial state
nent, presenting summary which he
has had inserted in the Congressional
Record.
Sh0rn or the customary verbiage of a
speech. MIR. McMillin's showing may be
thus summarized:
The repeal of all force laws. leaving
elections free from federal interference.
The repeal OF the law authorizing the
president to levy and remit taxes, the
prerogative reverting to the people, to
whom 1t properly belongs.
Inc passage OF law authorizing the
various states to tax greenbacks and
other United States currency, which,
being exempt, had enabled hundreds of
millions to escape taxation.
1t has reduced appropriations and in
augurated greater economy in eXpen.
ditures.
1t has enacted most stringent law
against trusts.
1t has inaugurated an income tax,
thereby taking taxes off want and put
ting them on wealth.
1t has repealed the Sherman silver
purchase law.
IL found rho froocuru no Iyrunf nd
passed tariff bill which has not only
replenshed it, but has at the same time
greatly reduced the cost of living to the
consumer and given an impetus to man
utacturcS and general trade.
Congressman Hall, of Minnesota, has
gone even further, and published at his
own expense facsimile in title and
appearance of the Republican volume,
III which be answers the conundrum,
what Congress Has Done" with this
terSe summary:
1t has made all money equally taxa
BILE.
1t has restored confidence in our cur
rency and finances.
1t has given to all our people the op.
portunity OF living cheaper and better.
1t has shattered the protected trusts
of McKnleyism.
1t has placed the burden of taxation
upon the rich mans surplus, as well as
upon every mans needs.
1t has restored the freedom of cleo
tons.
1t has placed the transactions of the
government and its methods of account
Ing upon a business basis.
1t has greatly reduced the eXpendi-
lures of the government.
For one soldid year it has maintained
an unrelenting fight against the trusts
and monopolies which protection had
created.
lit has fought the good fight, it has
finished the course, it has kept the
faith"
These brief answers of Messrs. Nc
Millih and Hall furnish Democrats a
ready reply to the cheap arguments of
their Republican opponents.

,Jutnps on BriCe.

While the Cleveland Plaindealer and
Cincinnati Enquirer are trying to
wheedle the Ohio Democracy into semi
Republlcanism of the Cal Brice grade,
the Toledo Bee hits right out from the
shoulder, landing its blows fair and
square between the eyes of the dough-
faces. 1t says:
"Face the issue. Don't shoulder
Senator Brice's burdens. His shoul-
ders are broad. Let him tote The load
himself. We don't want to spend two
years trying 10 defend him when there
is SO little defense. Give the Demo-
cratic newspapers a chance to talk
straight. honest Democracy. Better
settle the Brice question at the state
convention. and have done with it.
Scrape the barnacles off the ship and
we can sail better race. Calvin S.

party and we all know it. We can't

it by keeping still and jollylng our.

MONEY POURS IN.

The Bank of England Gaining
Shekels All the Time.
LONDON, Sept. 16.-There was not the
slightest sign during the past week of
hardening in the discount rates. The
influx of money to the Bank of Eng
land continues and the governors pre-
fer to allow 1t to accumulate rather
than to invest while the prices of in
vestment stocks are on prohibitive
level. Some purchases of gold have
been made recently. Rumors are cur
rent that the government proposes to
coin British silver dollar for Eastern
trade purposes. The stock market
continued active and firm despite
haste to realize profits. The Barring es-
tate has arranged the sale of another half
million pounds worth of BuenOs Ayres
water works securities to the syndicate
which took the previous 950O.000
worth, thus reducing the total liability
to the Bank of England to about 81, $780,
GOO. 1t is now known that the final
realization of the estate will show
surplus. A heavy weight is thus re-
moved from the speculative world, and
it is hoped that the period of depression
caused by the Barring collapse is nearing
an end. The Rothschilds have sue
ceeded in placing the balance of the
Gl,OO0,0O0 worth Of the Western
Miras railway bonds. guaranteed
by Brazil. which could not be placed
when they were issued, owing to
the outbreak of the revolution. Specu-
lation is being gradually extended to
what have hitherto been unmarketable
stocks. South Americans again ad-
vanced smartly. The markets were all
firm, except for American railway Sc
curities, III which, although the de-
crease in values during the week was
only fractional, the hoped for boom is
long delayed. No activity in the Ameri-
can market was shown. The Grand
Trunk railroad of Canada securities fell
from one to two points in anticipation
of a decrease in the traffic receipts.
Mining stocks were firm. Brewery
shares advanced on the splendid hop
crop.

LIVERPOOL. Sept. l6.-The manager
of the Curard Steamship company de-
clares that the statement made by
officers of the American line steamer
New York that the Cunard steamer
Lucania, bound east, was seen by the
New York fifty miles north of her
proper course is ''absurdly Incorrect"
The manager protests against what he
calls ian attempt to detract from the
record of the Lucania's passage" The
New York arrived at New York last
Friday afternoon, having beaten the
record from Southampton by one hour
and twenty.four minutes. On the same
day the Lucania, from New York, broke
the eastward record by two hours and
nine minutes. When the New York
arrived at New York city she reported,
ana her log showed that she sighted
the Lucania fifty miles north of the
eastward line route, and in the line fol.
lowed by west-bound steamers. The
routes that east and west-bound steam
ers are to take are agreed upon by the
various steamship companies. and
captains are expected to adhere strictly
to the agreement.

A Fair Rule for Wages.

New York World.
A number Of the protected manu-
facturers who combine politics and
business for their own profit are threat
ening to reduce wages. giving the new
tariff law as the reason. There is fair
rule in this matter which workingmen
would probably accept. Let all manu-
facturers who voluntarily increased
wages after the passage of the McKin-
ley bill be entitled 10 reduce them now.
This rule would put an end to wage
reductions very quickly.
