to be subject to heavy tax which
would force their retirement when the
emergency for which they are created
is past. The president recommends
that they be allowed to Issue notes to
the amount of IS per cent Of their cir

hibitory tax, asking only for a tax Of 4
of 1 per cent on the average circulation

President Cleveland is singularly
blind to the signs of the times if he be-
iieVes that his recommendation for
what ne is placed TO call currency re-
form will meet the approval of the Poo
pie. Not even the bait thrown out to
the south by his recommendations of
the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on
state bank circulation is likely to give
him a majority in either house or sen
ate to make effective his proffer to
the banks Of the absolute control of
what would in time doubtless become
the chief circulating medium of the ma
ton. The way of our perplexities is
for the nation to issue its own money,
and issue it in gold and silver, the
money metals recognized by the con-
stitution. Enhancement of the power
of the banks over the currency is not
democratic. Thomas Jefferson recogni-
zsd its peril when he wrote in 1919: "In
terdiet forever to both the state and
the national governments the power of
establishing any paper banks, for with
out this Introduction we shall have the
same ebb and flows of medium and the
same revolutions of property to go
through every 20 or 80 years.-Chicago

Of his penchant for condemning people
to death, his court is called "Psrker's
Slaughter House" Recently he con-
demned a man to prison and the United
States supreme court reversed his de-
eision and ordered him to admit the
man to bail. This he positively refused
to do, and declared that if he was com
PEELED to he would order the man tried
over again. This is about the most
breezy defiance of authority that we
are acquainted with. For a district
court judge to scorn the su preme court
spit on its robes and laugh at its wigs,
is a novel picture. But then, cur Off
Gals are treading the laws under their
feet a good part Of the time, and per-
haps this fellow thinks that there is no
special harm in his taking the bit in
/ his mouth and kicking at the august
authority above him. But it is likely
ne viii run his head against the hard
est stone wall that he ever saw.

THE HELLOF PnYERTY.

Carlyle somewhere says that poverty
is the hell of which the modern Eng
lishman is most afraid. And he is
right. Poverty is the open-mouthed
relentless hell which yawns beneath
civilized society. And it is hell enough.
The Vadas declare go truer thing than
when the wise crow Bushanda tells the
eagle-bearer of Vishnu that the keenest
pain is in poverty. For poverty is not
merely deprivation, it means shame,
degradation; the soaring Of the most
sensitive parts Of our moral and mental
nature as with hot irons; the denial of
the strongest impulses and the sweet
est affections; the wrenching of the
most vital neves. You love your wife,
you love your children, but would it
not be easier to see them die than to
see them reduced to the pinch Of want
in which large classes in every highly
civilized community live? The strong
est of animal passions is that with
which We cling to life, but it is an every
dag occurrence in ciyilizsd society for
men to put poison in their mouths or
pistols to their heads from fear OF pow
erty, and for one who does this there
are probably 100 who have the desire,
but are restrained by instructive

The governor Of Alabama proposes a
remedy for lynehing that deserves con
sideration by people of other states as
well. 1t is that law be passed giving
to the families OF man killed by a
mob the right to civil action against
the authorities of the town or county
where the deed was done. If this were
made generally the law it would place
the lawless element under bonds to
keep the peace. While many of the
lawless are not taxpayers, they are
none the less dependent upon those
who do pay the taxes. Mob rule itself
is greatly destructive to property, but
it is so indirectly. If property owners
had TO pay additional taxes for each
case Of mob rule that occurred in their
locality they would bestir themselves
to protect lives of those obnoxious to
the mob, because they would then be
directly interested, and so plainly that
no one could mistake the fact.

Before another issue of The REPUBLIC
shall make its appearance 1895 will
have been welcomed and 1894 gone on
into history. The past year has been
one that will long be remembered as
one that paralleled the panic year of
1873. The disasters of both years were
brought about by the same cause.-The
death of silver as a money metal. In
1873 the banking classes plotted to de-
stroy the white metal and succeeded.
The success of the plot heralded the
birth of two classes-the millionaire
and the tramp. In 1894 the banking
classes went further and not only made
the destruction of silver permanent,
but also crowned gold the only money
metal, This heralds the birth, or evO-
luton rather, of two more classes-the
Millionaire and the slave.
By the demonstration of silver the
debts of the poor we're doubled and the
wealth of the rich increased three fold.
The value of labor has decreased and
the value of the dollar increased.
The past year has been one long to
be remembered as one that has num-
bered a period of time that has witness
sed the degradation of Americas best
manhood, and exalted the effete classes
of the viciously rich. It has seen strikes
without number, an army of men
marching to the national seat of gov
eminent to petition the servants Of the
people to give them (the people, en-
plOyment so that hey might keep the
wolf of starvation from the threats of
their dear ones. 1t has seen lockOuts
that has made of honest and industri-
Gus men tramps. It has seen legisls-
ton that makes rich men richer and
poor men poorer. 1t has seen the
chasm between capital and labor wild
ened. It has seen actual revolt-civil
war.
It has been a year barren of good re-
suits and one that will pass with no re-
grets. The incoming year may be no
better, the same power is still on the
throne, the same policy will continue.
The warfare against the poor is still
being waged. The result of this war
fare may make 1895 move hideOus than
its predecessor. The history of the
past should guide the present and
serve as a warning to those who seek to
encompass the ruin of the toiler, the
poor and the weak.
History repeats itself, and the result
of a like condition in the long. ago is
anything but pleasant to contemplate

We observe a disposition on the part
of some agricultural journals to dis
courage fruit growing, especially plant.
ing apple orchards by farmers. From
one point Of view this may be right.
1t viii not pay to plant fruit of any
kind unless YOU give it continuous and
intelligent care. Very often an orchard
is planted, then left to shift for itself
in the expectation that it will come to
profitable maturity. There could be no
more mistaken idea. Orchards of any
Sort carefully looked after, protected
against insect enemies, are pretty sure
to be good investment. One point is
perfectly obvious to all, that is, orch
ards add the the value of farms which
contain them.

SOME of the railroads have presented
claims to the government for carrying
troops last summer during the railroad
strike. As the troops we're called out
at the request of the railroads to pro
tect their property and keep their lines
open, it would appear to bano great
hardship if they contributed the trans
portation, especially if the government
contributed everything else. Payment
of the claims, it is said, will be resisted
by the war department.

AT the battle Of Solferiuo, according
to NJ. Cassendi's carefully deduced cal
culations, comparison to the number
of shots fired on the Austrian side with
the number killed and wounded on
part of the enemy shows that ZOO bull
lets we're expended for every man
wounded and !, $50 for each man killed
The average weight of the ball used
was 30 grains, therefore it must have
taken at least 126 Kilograms, or 22I
pounds of lead for every man put out
of the way. Yet SoIferiuo has gone
into history as a most important and
bloody engagement.
