How can bankers and other money loan

citizens alike, without tribute to any, or

Read the following comments from the
New York Sun, upon the manner in which
the tariff thinkers propose to let the whisky
trust rob the nation out of S64 2OO.OO
The senate has been almost as kind to
the whisky trust as to the sugar trust
Estimating the present stock in the bonded
warehouses at 2o0.000,0OO gallons, the in
crease of the tax from ninety cents to
s1.10 a gallon will put exactly $40. OOO, 900 into
the pockets of the whisky trust The 200
100000 gallons will be taken out of bond and
the duty paid at the present rate. When
that duty is paid the government revenue
from whisky will be practically nothing.
for two years. The annual product is about
O,OO0 gallons. That is more than enough
to supply the present demand The treas
ury Will get big lump soon from whisky
duties, $lso,Wo.0Oo if the whole bonded stock
be withdrawn. Then, for two years or
more, the Whskey tax would bring in MOTH
ing, or next to nothing
But the $40,0OO,O00 is not the only gratuitv
given by the senate to the whisky trust
The bonded period, three years under the
existing law, is made eight years by the
senate that is the trust gets five wears
more from the government before being
obliged to pay the tax. All this time the
whisky is improving and the whisky
trust is saving interest. At S1.1O gallon
the interest at four per cent would be A.
cents a gallon. On 100, 000,00o gallons The
interest would be S4,S40,000. This sum the
senate virtually gives to the whisky trust
every year for five years. In other words
besides making a direct donation of $40. :
wv to the whisky trust, it saves that
thrifty concern in five years interest to the
amount of $24,2000 600. We have reckoned the
interest at only four per cent, though four
and one-half or five would be neare; the
true figures.
The senate, then, has sWeetened the
whisky trust as follows:
BY direct gift. ...................S4O 600 600
BY interest saved. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. "a. 200 Ono

No wonder there is a blissful feeling in
the Peoria region. No wonder the delighted
beneficiaries of the senate's gratuities at
once put whisky up three cents gallon
for a starter.

CORRESPONDENCE.
OUR FORUM.

1t is part of the purpose OF estab-
fishing the REPRESENTATIVE to az
ford a forum, in which the brightest
minds in the populist party and in
the farmers alliance can express and
compare their views. The paper will
set forth, but will try to give all
sides of-the questions at issue fair
hearing. We would suggest to our
correspondents to make their letters
brief and to the point: not to ex-
coed one-quarter of column, If pos
sible. If you have lengthy comInun-
ication cut it in half and make two
letters of it. Avoid personalities.
Don't write unless you have some
thing to say; and let each letter
nave motive and teach something
to the reader Try to make your
readers better and wiser by what
YOU write. Never mind about the
grammar or the spelling. The prin-
ter will fix all that. Good sense and
an honest purpose are rarer things

To this communication came the follow

Hon. LATE Pence. House of Representa-
tives: In reply to your letter of current

From this it appears that Mr.. Oates has
secured a few pieces coined as souvenirs
and is exhibiting the same to the people
of Alabama as proof that the present ad-

to such deception in trying to bunco the

A Father Who Always Helps,

] once knew a young man, says a
reverend writer, "who by an unfor-
tunate combination Of dilaculties
found himself in financial straits
without knowing which way to turn
or what to do to escape adversely,
1t so happened that his father
learned of his difficulty and sent
him a few words by telegraph that
put Joy in his heart as soon as he
received the message, All it
said was draw on me for what you
need, But every word was the
same as gold to the needy son, be-
cause he knew his father, and knew
that he would never send him such
a message as that unless he meant
it,
And so with his fathers word in
his hand he set out Tor a BANK at
once and proceeded to act upon it.
How many heart aches and weary
DAYS it would save us II we would
receive our Heavenly fathers words

not be so many precious promises

Fishback On Convict Labor.

Governor lishback, upon surrend'
ering the Gubernatorial reins three
week hence, will furnish the Legis'
lature some food for reflection,
The Governors farewell message
will be unusually volumnious and
will touch upon a great variety OF
matters of moment. He is unalter'
ably opposed to new constitution
and viii so express himself, in def
ance Of the hepopular sentiment form
ing for new organic law,
The convict problem, which has
always been akin to Banquos ghost
will consume a large portion OF the
outgoing Governors message. lie
will recommend to the Legislature
the purchase of a State farm Of
5000 acres, to be worked by CON
victs. His idea Is that enough
products can be raised on such {
farm to supply the convicts and al
the State charitable institutions
A sufficient number Of convicti
could be kept within the walls o
the Penitentiary and porvide cloth
ing, shoes, etc, for the residue A
certain quota Of convlctS could b.
let out to work in coal mines, ol

FADs OF ENGLISH WOMEN.
One Is an Enormous Chignon and the
Other Is Cane.

"There are two fashions very
largely, almost universally affected
by English women just now that !
don't think will be copied over here,
even by the most pronounced tad
dist, remarked woman just back
from long stay in England. ''They
are the chignon and the walking
cane.
"The fashionable coiffure is hid
eous, nay revolving, and I'm sorry
to say it is affected by about eight
in 10 Englishwomen. 1t is simply
return to the most extreme style of
the old chignon, an immense wad OF
hair, or imitation of one, struck
straight out from the back of the
head. In its extreme development
it is often fully as large as the head
which it disfgures. Sometimes you
see a womon who aims to be ultra
fashionable wearing two of these
monstrositiess one atop of the other
and maybe a little sailor hat perch
ed atop of the wad, but not cover
ing her head at all. The only inn
provemeut over the old chignon is
that the present one is a hair-cov-
cred wire frame instead of a swab
of hair, The vulgar people call it a
"bun." In trip around the Con-
tinent ! didn't see single bun,
except on travelling Englishwomen,
1t is purely English, and likely to
remain so,
'HThe inevitable accompaniment
of the chignon is the walking cane,
and it was to me the oldest thing
in the world when | arrived in Eng
land in the spring to see every wo-
man walking with a regular mans
cane. The heavy fashionable car
ry heavy canes, just as our 'Chol'
lies do. | Travelled all round Eng
land, to all the big towns and the
fashionable watering places, and
everywhere the cane was most
conspicuous,
'But there's a reason for the
cane, and, absurd as it is, it is a
point for the cane above the CHG
non, for lhe latter is without any
excuse whatever Queen Vicaoria
is compelled to use walking cane
whenever she moves about, and it
is a compliment to Her Majesty-or
from a silly aping Of royalty, when
you like-that the English woman
carries Il cane, You remember of
course, the Alexandra limp, which
nearly every English woman affect
ed some years ago, and which had
its origin in lameness of the
Princess of Wales, 1t is in just
such ways that many of the fash
ionable absurdties Of Europe origi-
nate. But heaven defend US from
the chignon and the cane.

THE CARLISLE BILL.
The Democratic Manager Considers
Half a Loaf Better Than None.

WASHINGTON December &c.
Among the few members of the
House who were at the Capitol to-
day the prevailing opinion seemed
to be that the Republicans had it
in their power to pass or defeat the
currency bill The Democratic
vote, it is said by one who has fully
canvassed the situation, will be
about evenly divided for and against
the measure, The Republicans are
generally expected to vote against
the measure.
While the bill is far from satisfac-
tory to many of the Democratic
managers who will support it, they
will, they say, vote for it because it
will impove in their opinion the
present situation, Judge Culberson
put it in this way,
"We are like a tramp" said he,
who has been ordered out Of town.
1t does not matter much whether
he goes to New York, Baltimore or
Richmond. But move, he must.
The situation of the Treasury is
identical. Something must be done
to relieve it. If this bill does not
accomplish all it should it will at
least accomplish something"
Representative Bland, who has a
free coinage substitute pending, is
very doubtful of his ability to secure
even a record-making vote upon it,
Chairman Springer has already
given notice that he will make a
point of order against the substi-
tute on the ground that it is not
germane, and MI Bland DelleVeS II
will be the programme of the ad-
vocates Of the currency bill to rule
his substitute out on this point.
Although he insists that the substi'
tute, dealing as it does, not only
with coinage but with currency, is
germane, he seems inclined to be-
lieve that the point Of order will be
sustained. In the event it is not
sustained, however, he says that
inasmuch as the substitute will be
defeated in Committee Of the
Whole, that fact will preclude the
possibility of securing a record
making vote on his proposition in
the House.

TO KILL CLEVELAND.

New ORLEANS, Dec. 26 "A, W..
Alton, of New Jerusalem Tex, was
arrested last evening at the Louis
vile & Nashville depot and locked
up on the charge of insanity He
arrived over the Southern Pacific
railroad from Houston, Tex, and
claims that he was not satisfied
with the way Grover Cleveland was
running affairs, and was on his way
to Washington to kill him. when in
tercepted by officers, He was lock-
ed up in an end cell last night,
which he almost demolished during
the night, He tore the boards
down from the wall and did consid-
cradle damage, He was almost
nude this morning when the officers
removed him from the demolished
cell to another one, Alton
also claims that somebody is
after him to do him up, In his raw
ings he sees all kinds of demons, and
this morning said that he could
raise the dead and make the sea
give up its treasures, He says he
has a wife and several little bro.
theirs and thinks that they will come
to his rescue and release him from
jail, The conductor of the train
upon which Alton arrived in the

Henry Clews Predicts another Bond
Issue.

New YORK, Dec. 25. --Henly Clews
says; "Wall street is now in the
midst of its annual retrospective
mood, balancing accounts, settling
firms affairs and reviewing the re-
viewing the results of a very un-
satisfactory business year, From
now until New Years is therefore
not a period for actiye business, and
operations are languid and limited,
This naturally makes an opening
for the "bears," who seek to make
the most of it; but with indifferent
success. The encouraging event of
the week has been the declaration
Of their usual dividends by each of
the Vanderbilt lines. The exports
of gold can hardly be said to have
more than momeutary effect, for
the movement has about been dis
counted and the outflow is not ex-
pected to exceed what is usually in
Cident to the season. Wall street
anticipates a steady decline in the
treasury stock of the metal and the
necessity for the government bor-
rowing another fifty million to re-
plenish its gold reserve in the course
of a few months, unless Congress
should devise means for averting
that result, of which, however,
there is not much expectation,
Some uneasiness is caused by the
steady Withdrawals of gold from the
treasury, materially in excess Of
what is required for current exports
of the metal. The drain appears to
come from the banks and to be for
their own account, and is probably
caused bp a desire to recoup them
selves for the large amounts they
parted with IN their subscriptions
for the late loan. No more serious
motive is supposed to be at the bot
tom Of the movement, and it is eX-
pected to prove only transient.
