VIGILANCE THE PRICE OF LIBERTY,

1t would seem from recent events
in South Carolina that the individual
dealers in liquors rather object TO
State dispensaries. In view Of the
money there is In the business, this is
quite natural. So also does the West
ern Union Telegraph Company OBJ,
ject to the Governments taking con-
troll of all telegraph wires And like
wise,swe presume, the railroad com
panies would make fight for their
rights and individual properly if the
Government were to attempt to rectify
abuses by taking charge of all rail-
road business in the countrw Just
what power belongs of right to the
executive force Of our free institutions
and what should under the Constitu
ton be reserved and vigilantly guard
ed by the people, the writer is obliged
to leave in the hands OF our Constitu
tional lawyers and statesmen, while re-
serving the personal right of his indi
vidual opinion. Some one we'll up in
craftsmanship has said "They are
governed best who are governed
least" That's about our notion.

TIE NEW PUBLIC PRINTER.
Thomas E. Benedict, of Albany,

Thomas f. Benedict, Of Albany,
New York, the Public Printer under
Presiden. Clsveland's former admins
tlation. seems to have filed the Office
50 well that the President has again
appointed him out Of ho3t of other
anxious applicants.
The anHi.ty Of the applicants for
this particular place is because Of the
lusciousness of the plum, SO to speak.
There was a time when this Office
was among the best gifts within the
hands Of the President, because Of the
heavy purchases ard contracts within
the control or sanction of the Public
Printer.
Whatever of value may since have
been taken from his control by the
House and Senate committees on
printing, there are still some perqui-
sites besides snug salary attaching
to the Office, and hence the anxiety of
applicants.
For prudential reasons, no doubt.
the President deferred his naming OF
the man fol- this important Office until
just recently.
There being some 5000 employees
engaged under the Public Printer, at
rates somewhat higher than printers
make elsewhere, and not being under
the jurisdiction Of the civil service laws
controlling the clerical departments,
the Office requires no doubt discrete
and conservative handling on the part
of the Public Pnnter who would serve
his country and his party well.

1t seems that Coxey, the pious
captain of the Commonweal army,
has continuous fluctuation from
feast to famine as he goes marching
on. If subjected to harsh treatment
at one point he is reported as being
feasted and in measure lionized at
the next. Its pretty hard to tell just
what the effect Of the Coxey move
ment upon the Capitol will have until
the advance guard gets out of Jail.

Whether Democratic prospects are
benefited or injured will depend more
upon what is said and done by the
party as party than upon the length
or brevity of the present session of
Congress. We might also add that
things left undone that should be
done, and things done that should not
be done, may seriously affect Dem
ocracy for better or for worse between
this and next election.

A GREAT many papers and great
many people are setting up terrible
howl about the lawful dullness' of
times and the low prices of nearly
everything. Now, we never did have
much sympathy for fault finders, I'M
less they suggested a plausible remedy.
The truth is that nothing is very much
out OF line except the grumblers them
selves. A dollar will get N ore OF every
thing in the world nearly than ever
before. If everything is down in pro-
portion we fail to See any just cause
for complaint. Now, as an evidence
that there is not much wrong, our peo-
pie were never in better condition
financially than to-day. Liberty Her

IT GOES without saying that the
TINES has contributed it's full share in
booming the town and showing up the
inducements and advantages it pre-
sents to people seeking homes and in
vcstments. This it has done in the
face of all manner of discouragements
from the business men of the town,
is shown BY the meager support it has
received from people who claim to be
business men. As a matter of fact,
the paper can live and thrive without
dollar from home advertisements,
but we respectfully submit whether
liberal support is not due it from the
merchants and business men of Can
ton simply on its merits as a home en-
terprise. Now we ask nothing but
what we feel is due US. If you are too
dead to respond to the duties of live
men, just say so and the TIMES is
ready to preach your funeral.

The newly crowned Gar of Russia
has astonished the world and enthus-
ed his subjects by discarding all
guards and escorts, and going boldly
and unarmed AS any other citizen
amongst his people, who are wild
with joy at his conduct. He went i'm
mediately from his wedding ceremony
out into the streets unattended to the
surprise and dismay of his friends and
family. He is a sensible fellow and
ought 20 make god ruler We have
always had very exaggerated accounts
of the despotism of the Emperors of

THE secretary of agriculture recon-
mends the cessation of the free distri-
button OF it's department documents
aud seeds. He has said to have COW
cred back into the treasury 5000, 900
For these things he has been roundly
abused by some pretentoius newspa-
pers, passing as friends to the farmers.
We as farmer think he has done ex-
actly right and that other heads of
departments would do well to emulate
his example. Four-cent cotton and
fifty-cent wheat calls for retrenchment
in all the departments of the federal
as well as state and county admins
trations. IL costs $500, 900 to print the
reports of the secretary for free dis
tribution. Few people are interested

purity of government. Ia doing this
they have become Ishmalites. Politi-
cal wisdom and purity can alone re-.
store political parties to cohesive
power. This may be impossible as po-
luton cannot purify itself. An inef-
facable and insurmou ntable line of
demarkation always occurs between
gangrenous and sound matter, and
then separation is inevitable. Future
policitical lines may be drawn incorpo-
rating strange elements. The politi-
cal horoscope looks murky. Let us

The Banking Plan.

The plan suggested by Mr. Carlisle
for the reforma ton of the banking
system now in operation, is meeting
with favorable. unfavorable. and neu-
trail criticism, and comment by news
peas Of various political faiths. All
Democratic papers do not approve, all
Republican papers do not condemn,
and those papers called independent
are also divided upon the recommen-
dations made by Mr.. Carlisle.
Some OF the Republican papers OPP
pose the plan outright, because they
say the government ought, by right,
to issue paper currency, and that all of
the paper money should be govern
ment issues and that 10 wildcat bank
ing is wanted. Some of the Democra tic
papers oppose it because, they say it
continues the national banks and they
are opposed to this, and some of the
papers of all parties and no party OPP
pose it because, they say, it will cause
imitation of the currency, unsettled val
aes ara 1,:lS about uncertainty and
distrust in all business and financial
transactions. The majority of the
newspapers, however, hold to the opin-
ion that n reform is needed and should
be effected as speedily as possible con-
sistent with a prudent care for the in
terests both of people and government,
but they disagree as to the plan. Some
claim the secretary's plan is not the
best obtainable, while others are we'll
satisfied that IL is the best yet sug-
gested.
From the interest shown it is evident
that the newspapers know that The
people are aroused as to the necessity
for the adoption of plan which will
permit and require the general govern
nent tn again return to the transac-
ton of its legitimate duty, governing
and enforcing the laws, and will re-
move it from position antagonistic to
the daily transactions of all citizens
The people are not welded to the plan
of Mr.. Carlisle, only to this extent,
ures which if enacted into law will go
far toward bringing about the reforms
they desire. If some other plan, safe,
simple and easily put in operation, bet
ter than the Carlisle plan can be sug-
gested producing the results they ex-
pect the Carlisle plan to bring about.
they will, of course, support it, for they
want certain reforms instituted and
they also want the plan adopted which
will Sest bring about these reforms.
1t is not expected that all that the
people hope for will be accomplished
at once, but it Is hoped that Congress
will take the proper steps to adopt and
put in operation q plan accomplishing
the results Mr. Carlisle recommends as
needed for the welfare of all.

THE independent or mugwump ele-

parties some time ago, is a power in
politics now, even endangering old

THE financial scheme of Secretary
Carlisle endorsed by Mr.. Cleveland is
is to repeal the law requiring National
banks to deposit interest bearing bonds
of the government in sums of $780,
900, and issue 100000 in currency, with
the interest on the original bonds pay
able semi-a nnua]ly in coin and in bills.
and in lieu thereof permit them to
issue seventy-fve per cent of thei-
paid up and unimpaired capital,
provided they deposit legal tender

equal to thirty per cent of the notes
they desire to issue. Repeating the

restrictions upon reducing or increas-
ing their circulation, and "permitting
such increase or reduction within the
limit of seventy five per cent of capital
to be quickly made as emergencies
arise" In addition to the guaranteed
funds, tax is levied and other restric-
tions and safeguards imposed, so as to
insure with absolute certainty, full re-

tary of treasury and comptroller of

with the above defined plan of national
banks, to issue money on the same
terms. This plan is open to improve
ment, but outlines the general idea.
1t appears to us that this is very fea-
sible plan of giving flexible and
abundant currency upon sound basis,
and should satisfy the most ardent ad-
vocate of plenty of money, unless they
expect it given to them, which is pre-
posterons. This plan could be further
perfected by tax upon deposits to in
sure depositors against loss. The gov

The highest authority in the gov
eminent should be it's president. Ac-
cording to his recent message, the
total stock of money of all kinds on
hand the LIST day of last November
was So, $40 .773, 1888 as against S5,204.-
651 900 on the LIST of Novem Der, 1898,
showing an increase during the year
of $50, 122, 1888. The total circulation
of all kinds of money outside of treas
ury holdings was 81 ,672 .003, 452, which
gives $24.27 per capita on population
OF 6s,SsS,Oo0. Yet few years ago we
have seen initiation advocates place the
per capita as low as $500. The total
stock of metallic money on hand on
July LIST of this year was in coinage
and bullion 1881 ,640.9 5s, of which
S627, 922, POI was gold 1929, 347,757 in
silver. In all the editions of the mes
sage we see these figures given.
There is a discrepancy of S630,000 in
the two latter sums from the grand
total. Yet assuming the total to be
correct, we have per ca pita of metal
lie money of more than $500. which
gives the government solid credit.
The production of precious metal in
the United States for the year 1898
was, gold, of the commercial and coin
age value of s35. 955,O0, and silver,
market value, slO6, SOC, 900. and coin
age value s77,576,O 900. We see from
these figures that il both metals be
coined at their market value, free and
in unlimited quantities, that we would
have three times as much silver as
gold, which would inevitably widen
the parity of the metals and finally
drive the more precious out of circula-
ton and give us mono-metalism of
silver. Even at the coinage value if
free and unlimited silver coinage were
to obtain, we would have more than
two dollars of silver for one of gold,
which would as surely accomplish the
same result, but little more slowly.
There was coined during the last fiscal
year Sc, 741,s 17-56 worth of silver, and
although there is more than six hun
dred and twenty-four million dollars
worth of silver money, coin and bull

A Running DeIeonte.

He is member of the union now
and they can afford to laugh about it,
but the walking delegate will always
be somewhat afraid of him. He landed
in Chicago from the far west, and, be-
ing reduced in finances, returned to his
old trade of painting. He put on q
white jacket, but underneath it he
continued to wear his belt and a brace
of cannon. In taking the job he had
made no inquiries, and he did not
know that strike was on and that he
was against the strikers. So he daubed
merrily away from his low scaffold un-
til he heard a gruf voice say;
''Get down from therel"
Because why?"
Never mind; you stop work on that
job"
mot by no manner of means and
don't trifie."
Say, will you come down."
YES" and throwing back his Jacket
he whipped out the two gigantic instru-
ments of death.
The delegate ran four block. For
three days the scaffold was watched
from afar, but no one bothered him.
Finally he joined the union of his own
free will, and when he rises to point
of order everyone listens to him.-Chi-
