Maintaining the Gold Reserve.

Under the heading of " Bond Selling
for Revenue" the leading democratic
paper of the country, in point of abil-
ity, independence and power of Incl
sive statement, the New York San,
makes the following scathing review
of President Cleveland's economic and
financial policy:
"For the fiscal year that ended no
June 30 last, the expenditures of the
government exceeded the receipts by
almost $70,000,000. That means, in
plain English, that the government
was living beyond its income to the ex-
tent of nearly twenty per CEN. 1t
means also, in plain English, that into
this vast deficit, greater than the aggre-
gate expenditures of the government
in any year of its existence previous to
1862, are dumped the $50,000,000 Dor.
rowed last winter by Mr.. Cleveland
upon the pretext of maintaining the
gold reserve
Gas is shown by Secretary Carlisle's
elaborate tables of comparison, the def
cit of $40 100000 in round figures was
occasioned not by an increase of the
outgo, but by decrease of the income.
The total of expenditures fell off &c.
900 from the total of the previous
year. This decrease was not due to any
policy of all around economy. Outside
of pensions, the expenditures actually
increased 50 ,227 ,65S. But there was at
the same time decrease of $l8, lS0,272
in pensions, due partly to natural con-
ditions and partly to the honest, rigid,
and satisfactory administration of the
pension laws by the present commits
sioner, under the supervision of the
Hon. Hoke Smith, secretary of the in
terror. Hoke Smiths department alone
enables the administration to make an
exhibit of economy in 1894 as COM
pred with 1898.
While expenditures, thanks to PEN
sion retrenchment, show decrease of
SIG 100000, revenue from all sources
shows a decrease of $50 ZOO, 900, and
exactly 81 $3.50 ,4S6 of this startling
diminution is in the item of receipts for
custom duties. The custom houses
paid into the treasury more than $685.
900, 900 during the fiscal year 1893.
During the fiscal year 1894 they paid in
less than $4,000 900. The loss of rev.
enue from duties on imports is thus
seen to be little greater than the def
cit for 1894. The exact figures are: Loss
on tariff revenue, $7l ,536 ,4S6; deficit
for the year, 500 800, 260. Still using
plain English, every dollar of the $780,
100000 borrowed by Mr.. Cleveland last
winter on the pretence of maintaining
the gold reserve either has gone or
will shortly go into the hole in the ma
tional revenues caused principally by
the protracted tariff agitation and con-
sequent business uncertainty; and this
tariff agitation was started under Mr..
Cleveland's leadership, and this unset

"The first $50, 100000 borrowed by
Mr.. Cleveland under the pretence OF
maintaining the gold reserve but
really to pay the current expenses OF
government, was only beginning.
The deficit due to The wreck he has
made OF customs revenue is continuing.
Within few weeks, on his own respon.
sibility and without consulting congress,
he has borrowed second $50 600 900,
again on the pretence of maintaining
the gold reserve and again, in fact, TO
meet the current expenses OF govern
ment. This will go on. Mr.. Cleve-
land declared in his message of Monday
that he will repeat the process when
ever in his judg nent it is expedient to
sell bonds TO maintain the gold reserve
the Cleveland euphemism for Dor
rowing money wherewith to pay his
own salary and other ordinary expenses
of government. Here is the cost
up to date, and here is the result of the
cowardly reputation by Mr.. Cleveland
and his accomplices in treachery and
humbug, of the democracy's pledge to
enact tariff for revenue only; that is
to say, a tariff shaped to produce rev.
enue, a tariff producing the revenue
needed: One hundred millions of dol
lars already added, within less than a
twelvemonth, to the national debt
SIS ,00O, 900 interest on S100000,000 al.
ready added to the fixed annual obligl-
tons of the treasury for the next ten
years; the almost certain continuance,
for an indefinite period, of the system
of meeting current expenses in time OF
peace by piling up debt and interest
charges, on executive mandate and un-
der false pretences. Bond selling for
revenue is the shameful though un.
speakably grotesque end of Cleveland
tariff reform"

Il HORRIBLE STORY.
The Report of the Armenian Massacre
Confirmed.

Confirmed.
AN American residing near the scene of
the recent Armenian massacre says the
half of the terribly brutal storyl has not
been told. The Turkish government sent
regular soldiers to put down the Arme-
mans. The latter were attacked in their
mountail Businesses, and being finally re-
duced by the failure of supplies and ammu-
milton, they were unable to resist. About a
score of villages were wiped out of exis-
tence, many people slaughtered and houses
burned. A number of young Armenians
were bound, covered with brush and burned
alive. Others pleaded for mercy, but were
shot down on the spot, while others were
dispatched with the sword and bayonet.
About 100 women we g shut up in oh lrch
Many were abused to death, and the re-
mainder dispatched with the sword. An
other lot OF women were captured as spells
OF war, but two stories are told as to their
disposal One is that they werecarried off to
Moslem harems, and another that they were
slaughtered on refusing to 90. Children
were placed in line, apparently to see how
many could be killed with one bullet
Small children were beheaded, and inmates

THE STRIKE is OVER,


The miners strike, which has been a
theme Of discussion since the 23d day of
last April, was declared off by a vote Of
the miners, last Monday.
1t has been known for some time that a
large number of the men were in favor of
re~pudiating their leader and going to
work. However, the final step was not
taken until last Monday, when it became
evident TO McGregor that the men were
tired OF his dictation, and he advised them
Ia go to work at oil but the Lexington
Coal company's mines. He still wanted
to keep these men out, but they voted to a
man to go back to the mines and work
for the best prices they could get.
Kerdolff mines, McGrew mines, Estill
Heights and all but one of the Lexington
mines will be opened up next week, we
are told. The men are anxious to get back
to work, and many OF them are 10Y at
their old places.
There are many reports as to the cause
of McGregor giving them the advice, and
1t is generally believed that he did it to
protect himself.

since, and the wind is full of rumors.
The miners are through with striking
for ONE time. They will not soon forge,
the bitter experiences of the last six
months, and it is safe TO say they will de
all in their power to prevent a return o.
similar experiences. They see their errol
and will avert the like in the future

no longer their leader. At a meeting o
the miners from Kansas and Missouri, or
Monday last, his resignation was accepted
and a Rich Hill man elected in his place
