An Extraordinary situation.

II Secretary CARLISLE wants to raise
money to pay the current expenses OF the
Government by the sale Of bonds. he should
go to Congress to get specific authority to
issue the bonds.
The Constitution gives to Congress the
sole power Ito borrow money on the credit
OF tho United States" The Secretary OF the
Treasury. accordingly. is poweress to issue
bonds without authority from Congress-
and that authority must be precise. and in
exercising it he must keep within the pre-
else limits OF the directions given him by
Congress. Otherwise his bonds are void.
The Resumption act Of 1875 gave to the Sec
rotary OF the Treasury authority To issue
bonds for the purpose OF redceming the old
legal-tender notes. He cannot lawfully
issue them for any other purpose. lie can
not use that authority to borrow money on
the credit of the United States to pay the
Governments bills. any more than he can
use 1t to pay his own personal bills.
Congress is now in session. In both its
branches 1t is controlled by the party to
which Mr.. CARLISLE belongs. If it is
willing that he should borrow money on the
credit of the United States for tho cur
rent expenses OF the Government, there
will be no trouble in his getting
the power to issue bonds. His course in
advertising for bids for $4,000. 900 OF bonds
without such specific authorization is tan
tamount to confession that he cannot get
the authority. and that In issuing them he
is acting contrary to the will OF the Con-
gress and is deiying it.
1t is a very extraordinary situation when
a DamOcratic Administration TINS usurna
power against a Democratic Congress.

TARIFF AND The FARMER.

While the Bill Wilson Bill is nov the
topic of utmost interest in political
circles, and every body is discussing the
pros and cons of the tariff question, we
have thought it not amiss to venture a
strictly non partisan computation of
figures to show exactly, and in a nut
shell, how the tariff worked before the
Bill Mckinley Bill agitation, and after
the Bill Mckinley Bill came into opera
ton, giving, side by side, ay~ear'sopera-
ton of both bills. See the table on our
Orst page, and preserve and study it.
You will find more in it than you have
learned from all the newspaper articles
you have ever read, or all the stump
speeches you have ever heard on the
subject.
While it is impossible to figure out
tothe cent the amount of tariff each in
dividual is burdened with, yet by com,
parison of figures and a little common

"a considerable decline IN price," "a

note that the tariff was in 1888 on wool
