THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC WAY.

We were told that all the country
needed for great revival of business
was the repeal of the purchasing clause
Of the Sherman act. "Just repeal that
Ubiquitous measure" said Wall street;
''just throw silver in the dirt, and you
will see no end Of prosperity" Congress-
with an inexplicsbls slavishness and
stupidity obeyed the orders OF the gold
bugs, and to what have we been treated
- result? Simply TO greater con-
striction of money and to 9 more pro-
nounced paralysis Of our Industries.
The Gum which has hssn accommodating
in the New York banks above the legal
reserve already amounts to over $780,
100000. which 10 another way OF saying
that business in the east is without any
sort OF vitality. The men who are piling
up these enormous amounts Of unused
capital have absolutely no employment
for it. and they are now clamoring for
the issuance OF United States bonds
in order to invest it in q
form which will not only do the country
no good. but which will insure its with
drawsl from any form of active enter
prise. Hon. John G. Carlisle, the sec.
rotary Of the treasury, seems to have
cordially adopted the ideas of his Wall
street advisers, and in a communication
to the finance CONN ittee Of the senate,
not only advocates the issuance of bonds
but encloses the draft OF a bill for that
purpose. Under the circumstances it
might be interesting to ask the moneyed
men Of New York to define the limits
OF their demands. They will supply all
the object lessons needed-there is no
doubt about that. To. accomplish their
purpose they will create an artificial de-
msnd for gold and will cause it to be
shipped to Europe to the extent Of fifty
millions of dollars, ii need be. They
evidently have Mr.. Carlisle thoroughly
terrorized, and all they have to do is to
play upon him after the manner Of the
lutte In the scene in Hamlet. In his
letter to Chairman Voorhees, the
secretary of the treasury draws q mel
ancholy picture of the denuded condi.
ton OF his strong box. He says that
deficiency, which he originally estimated
at $2S,000,000, is liable to amount to
$4,000. 900 the way things are going.
There ia email wonder at this. How
can it be expected that prudent bu'i-
ness men will import goods to any con-
siderable extent with the uncertainty
as respects the tariff hanging over them
The wonder is that, under the circum-
stances, the deficit is not larger in vol
ume and does not accumulate more
rapidly. Instead OF endeavoring to
persuade congress to Issue more bonds
Mr.. Carlisle should address himself to
inducing his party friends to push
through the amended tariff at once, and
thus give the revenues q chance to pick
up. That would be the true Democratic
method of replenishing the treasury.

that aside from the advantage of possessing
such a beautiful object, there is the conscious

Just such prices is now offered the people of

GOVERN X MITCHELL expresses him
esi as stil determined to prevent the
great prize fight on Florida soil. On the
other hand. the Duval club insists
that the mill" will come off in spite Of
the executive, az there is no law in the
state to warrant his interference. The
local militia OF Jacksonville cannot be
depended upon to obey his orders if he
proclaim martial law, and it is ques-
ton of great concern whether he will
undertake to summon the militia from
other localities to undertake the sup
preston of the fight. The governor
perhaps has some other means Of carry
ing out his determination, but he has
kept HE plans to himself, and nobody
can guess what they are. In the mean
time, Corbett and Mitchell stick aeeidu-
ously to their training. and the Duval
club are selling entrance tickets with q
guarantee that the fight will come off,
or the money be returned. 1t is impos-
sible to deny th this anticipated fight
has excited a great deal of interest all
over the country. and if it were not for
the attitude of the governor OF Florida
it would attract more spectators than
any other pugilistic meeting that ever
came of in the country.

The weather in this )rthern part OF
the state ba, been very stormy. A
great deal OF rain has fallen there, and
in some connt;ss the streams are swol-
len and floods are apprehended. South
OF the Tehschepi mountains the storm
has not been felt. Perhaps the slight
rain we had yesterday morning was the
last expiring struggle OF the storm-king
Who has done 80 much damaging work
in Northern California the past few days.
Whilet discussing the weather topic it
is no more than right to say that in
over twenty-one years OF residence in
this section we have never seen a more
perfect season for the benefit OF agricul-
ture. The rain did not come too early,
and since it's advent it has come
at such intervals and in such volume ss
to exactly suit the huHbandman. Every
inch of rain that has fallen this season
has been absorbed into the ground and
done the greatest good possible. 1t has
never come violently and IN immense
quantities but periodically and gently,
and in q way to do the most good. Unless
something abnormal should happen.
our farmers and fruit growers will this
year have the best and most productive
season they have ever had. The few
inches OF rain we have had are better
than il oceans of it had fallen in lump,
as VIZ have seen 1t in some former years.

A RUINOUS INHERITANCE.

We are almolt every day treated with
a loud growl from Republican papers
about the way in which the Democratic
administration is depicting the treasury
and drifting the country into bank
ruptcy. 1t is few days sgone that our
esteemed morning contemporary laid all
the ills of the country and the bank
rupt condition OF the treasury at the
door OF the Democratic party. The ex-
trsordinsry expectation Of gold, the
financial distress of the country. the
stagnation in business and in nearly all
the industries. the great discrepancy be-
tween the revenues of the government
and its expsnditures-all these, and
more too, were srcribed directly to the
fact that the people at the last election
had brought the Democratic party into
federal power.
The careful and unprecedented citizen
who reads Secretary Carlisle's letter to
the senate, calling upon that body to
amend the act of 1874. which permits
the treasurer to issue bonds under
certain limitations-so that the inter-
est on the same shall be restricted to
three per cent, and sold for the purpose
of enabling the government to meet its
obligations, will find that the embar-
rassment in the fiscal department is an
inheritance derived from the preceding
Republican administration. The high
tariff measure Of that party began to
produce Its inevitable results shortly
after Cleveland went into Office. He
had left the previous administration
at the close Of his first term q surplus of
over soc, 000, 900 in cash. and balance
in all kinds Of fiscal credit OF over $780,
600, 900. Harrison's administration had
not only eaten up all this magnificent
surplus, but entailed upon the Cleve-
land government rapidly rising deficit.
Mr.. Carlisle tells US that at the rate
revenue lie now falling behind there will
be deficit in the treasury at the close
of the present fiscal year Of the enor-
nous sum OF $7s. l67. 542l 1t was not
Democratic congress that passed the
laws which have brought ue to this de-
plorsble condition. The high protective
tariff has produced its natural and
inevitable characterization against
us by the withdrawal OF commercial
intercourse as far as possible with a
country which had set up boycott
against all other nations.
The effect OF this retaliation had Just
struck the United States treasury when
Cleveland took his seat. The falling
away of rsvenue was gradual for the
frat fsw months. and Mr.. Carlisle, in
his frat annual report, hasing his esti-
mates upon the deficits OF the first few
months Of his incumbency, predicted
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1894-01-17

ing bis constituents as we'll as hie party
and violated every pledge he had made
from the date OF his candidacy and long
before it, up to his departure for Wash
ington.
But when the Democrats had done al
that they naturally supposed their con-
nection with the disgrsceful affair ended.
They did not dream OF the probability
of the patronage belonging to the dis
trict being handed over to such her
msphroditic, political boor, nor did they
have the faintest suspicion that their
idolized candidate for the senate won d
covertly enter into an unholy compact
with him to barter away their political
rights for his own sggrandizement. At
a time, too, when they were spending
their own money, lighting their own tar
barrels and splitting their throats hur-
raining for "Our Steve" while the hay
seed asprart to congressional honors
was whooping-'er-up for himself and
Weaver and railing against them rail-
roada" and '.that d-n corrupt gold
bug" Cleveland.
We fancy that If that convention had
realized that the party was to be be-
trayed IN that way and handed over to
the tender mercies OF an ignorant enc
my, Cannon would have never had an
opportunity to disgrace seat in con-
gress, and it might even have been
difficult for the 'favorite son" himself
to reach the goal of his ambition.
Cannon has no influence that is not
reflected by White, however much the
latter may try to make it appear to the
contrary, and the bargain and deal be-
tween the two which have made such a
condition possible are not creditable to
tho candor and honesty of the intelligent
party to the contract. Mr.. White. Dem
ocrats expected him to represent them
with the administration, not Cannon,
and it was as cold blooded, selfish and
perfidious transaction as can be found
in the entire history OF California poll
tics, and we doubt whether it has q
parallel anywhere. 1t ia one alec which
will some day rise to confront, unpleae-
antly, Mr.. Steve White, however secure
he may imagine himself to be in six
year lease of high power.
We had been frequently told by gen.
tlemen of Los Angeles and elsewhere,
who were closer to Stephen NJ. White
than ourse.f. and who also were won't to
do his bidding, that he was as uncon-
eciously selfish, politically and other
wise, as any pig that ever made blur
Gated imprint in the mud, and we
couldn't believe it; in fact, resented the
imputation. but we have finally sue
cumbed to the conclusion that they
knew whereof they spoke, and had the
truer knowledge of his moral and animal
qualities.
