A popular five-cent subscription
has been started to raise money to
buy flag to float over the national
capitol at Washington, as the Cleve-
land treasury is so low that there
isn't money with which to buy one
II @The Cleveland treasury! Is it
the same treasury Mr.. Cleveland
handed over to Harrison in 1888
with surplus of one hundred mil
lions? Is it the same treasury that
Mr.. Cleveland found when he came
back four. years later with not only
its splended' surplus gone, but defc-
IL of near q hundred millions? Is it
the same treasury that is now SO
empty that Mr.. Carlisle is COMPEL
ed to borrow fifty millions of dollars
to pay debts incurred by the repub
lican Reed congress? Is it the same
treasury from which Mr.. Cleveland
took over one hundred millions and
redeemed bonds before they were due
TO keep from boarding the peoples
money and to stop interest on the
national debt? But it IS in a very
different condition. The "five. cent
subscriptions" are probably all right
bnt those fellows who bankrupted
the treasury ought to pay FIVE dollar
subscriptions and pay them often.

Two of the strongest Republic ans
in Morgantown exclaimed in the
tone used by wise men, "why don't
they Issue bonds; that's the thing
to do, when it was learned that un-
der the Harrison administration the
treasury's gold reserve had been dis
sipated for the Lord knows what.
These men saying it started the
smaller fry of the party to saying
the same thing. Yes. issue bonds
was the thing to do. These same
two Republicans, when the news
came that Secretary Carlisle propos-
ed to issue bon Dis, howled and wall
ed and swore it will ruin the country,

chorus; it made no difference to them

this tale is simply to point cut that
they think anything from Rcpubli-
cans is right and the same thing
from Democrats i wrong.

The Barnum Club, at Huntington,
held great meeting Thursday
night, and it was thoroughly Dem
ocratic meeting. They passed resolu-
tions demanding that our represen.
tatives in Congress should use every
honOrablemeans to secure the i'm
mediate passage of the Wilson bill,
as"our representatives secured their
nomination and elections upon the
promise to the party and people
that the promises enunciated at
Chicago in 1892 would be fully.
faithfully and honestly complied
with. We denounce as traitor to
this principle the man who antag
onizes, directly or indirectly, the
passage of this relief measure; we
denounce him as a hireling of the
vampires who are rolling in the fat
of their i'll gotten gains" The Bar
mum club is assuredly made up of
the right sort of material.

The present is the closing week Of
the tariff debate in the House. Then
will come vote, and the Senate will
have an opportunity of either debat-

week the sugar, wool, coal, iron and
other raw material schedules fixed
by the Ways and Means Committee
are up for discussion, with slight
amendments to some as they pass.

Representative Tarsney is at pains
to explain that the proposed income
tax would not apply to incomes of
$4,000, but only to the excess Of in
comes over $4,000. An income, for
example, of 400 would pay only
on 500. The Congressman's income
of $4,000 or anyone else having a
life income, would pay on only
$1,000.

why There Is A Deficit

1t is worth while to discuss the
past only as it affects the present and
affords guide to the future, says
the Philadelphia Times. But it is
always worth while to tell the truth.
The Press has the hardibood to re-
fleet on the accuracy of Governor
Pattison's statement that great
surplus was dissipated under the
last Republican administration, and
to pretend that the excess of revenue
disappeared by the reduction of tax
alton. OF course it does not dare to
give the figures, which utterly con-
found any such pretense.
In the fiscal year ending June 80,
1889, the last under the former
Cleveland administration, the actual
receipts Of the Treasury were $751;
050,05S and the actual payments
$2S ,996,615, an excess OF receipts
over payments of $105,023,443. For
the fiscal year of 1898, the last esti-
mated for under the Harrison ad-
ministration, the receipts were 1884,
500, 253 and the expenditures $685.
47S,S55. The revenue had dimin-
ished by So, PAP, sos and the expendi-
lures had increased by $l01, 4S2, $40
The official figures actually show
an increase of revenue, with a still
larger increase of expenditure, leav-
ing deficit of $4,769,663. But this
includes the national bank redemp-
tion fund, which was not included
in the former statements, but which
the Harrison administration turned
into the general account as the
Treasury ran dry. We have deduct
ed this item from each side of the
account to make the statements
This is the way the excess of an
nual revenue was disposed of-not
by reducing it, but by spending it.
But what became of the surplus al
ready accumulated? That, it is
claimed, was used Ito redeem and
cancel the public debt" A large
part of it was-needlessly and reck-
lessly. The whole amount of debt |
redeemed and cancelled between Ju-
ly l, 1888, and June 80, 1891, was
1920, 100000, and the amount of
premiums paid thereon was $48,00O,-
900, or more than twenty per cent.
some of these Londs were maturing
and were provided for in the esti-
mates. The premium paid on these
was only from five to eight per cent.
But on the bonds of 1907, which Mr..
Window anticipated, the premiums
were from twenty seven to twenty
nine per cent.
The annual saving in interest
charge, which is only about ten mil
lions, is no compensation for the
cost of inducing the holders of the
bonds to surrender them, and it is
largely because of this reckless an
ticipation of a debt advantageously
funded that it is necessary to issue
new bonds now.

Bonds TO be Issued.

Secretary Carlisle has authorized
the issue of government bonds to
the amount of $50,OOO,000. There
was no other course to pursue. The
Republicans, under the wise" ad
ministration Of Secretary Foster, left
a legacy of an empty treasury. There
is no chance for argument about
this; it is gospel truth. So bonds
will be issued, dating from Feb. l.,
1894. The Secretarys circular invit.
ing proposals for the purchase of
these bonds is printed in another
column giving the details. The
bond issue probably came none too
soon, aud it shows a careful admin
istration of the tire asury's affairs and
needs

The last issue of Bob McEldo W.
ney's paper sized the matter up thus
briefly:
DO the idiotic republican orators
imagine that foreigners would dump
$3.50, 100000 ofgoods into this coun-
try without receiving any price for
them? If what Mr.. Grosvenor in his
object lesson says be true, that an
$S. 80 American suit is as good as a
$3.50 British suit, how will the
"blarsted Britisber" be able to com
pete with Americans In the mark ct
You see, these wild declarations rattle
the whole argument

The Philadelphia Record quotes
from the Press an article in which
the latter attempts TO show that the
depletion of the National Treasury
is due to falling off of income in
consequence of tariff reform agita-
ton. In other words the Press says
that What has seriously depleted
the treasury during Mr.. Carlisle's
incumbency is the falling off of in
come due to the tariff agitation.
The Philadelphia Record COM
menting on the article says the Press
is not fortunate in its effort to crit
icise Secretary Carlisle's state ment
concerning the condition of the
Treasury and the cause of it. A ref
erence to official reports shows that
the total revenue during the eleven
months ended November 30, 1898,
amounted to 1920, 494 Jas, of which
$l63, 891 1888 was from customs. In
the eleven months ended November
30, 1892, the total revenues we're
$40, $50, 100, to which the customs
contributed $176,065, 6sS- The total
decline is $4,000, 900, the decline in
internal revenue amounting to
nearly $S,000,000 and in customs to
little more than $l2, 100000 The
percentage Of decline in the two
sources of revenue is almost the
same. the income from whisky and
Tobacco falling off in like proper
tion with the income from i'm
ports.
1t is seen that this serious decline
in public revenues did not begin
during Mr. Carlisle's incumhency,
but many months before it. The
cause of it is not in agitation of the
tariff, but in the tariff itself, as well
as in the financial effects of silver
legislation. Whilst the Mckinley
tariff despoiled the Treasury of it's
legitimate resources and checked
foreign trade, the silver law of the
same Congress and the same party
produced widespread monetary
disturbance Under these combined
influences the public revenues have
declined from $403, 0S0,982 in 1898
to $340,000,00O in 1898 and this
downward movement is attributed
to agitation of the tariff"
As to the familiar partisan asser-
tion that there was no deficit when
Mr.. Harrison left the White House."
the public understands by what sys-
tenn of book keeping the actual con-
dition of the Treasury had been art
fully concealed. Not only was the
subsidiary coinage-the smooth
quarters and ten cent pieces lying at
the bottom of the Treasury and I'M
available for payment-counted in
the assets, but deposited funds not
belonging to the Government were
transferred from the debt to the
credit side of the account By this
process the deficit was concealed
and an apparent surplus exhibited
in the Treasury books.
Such was the condition of the
Treasury-the finances disordered,
the magnificent surplus wasted. and
and the revenues rapidly declining
when Secretary Carlisle entered up
on his office.-N Y. World.

Some of our Republican brethren
no are complaining of the way in
which amendments are offered to the
Wilson bin and the consideration
that bill is receiving, are forgetful.
More time is being given for consid-
Grafton of this bill than was given to
the Mckinley bill. The latter was
hurried through at very rapid rate.
General debate was cut down to two
days, and five minute speeches run
one week. The bill passed the house
two weeks after its introduction, and
no amendments were allowed except
those proposed by Republicans.

The Republican Deficiency Debt

All the Republican organs follow
the cue of the Tribune in treating
the Treasury deficit and the neces-
sary increase of the public debt as
rdue to Democratic incompetence. -
The best answer to this is supplied
by facts which cannot be denied and
figures which cannot be impeached.
When the Democrats turned the
Government over to the Republicans
in March, 1889, there was an avail
able cash balance in the Treasury of
over $lS5,000,000. Nearly 500, 00O,-
600 of this sum was in free gold.
The revenues were then exceeding
the expenditures at the rate of $105,-
100000 a year.
When the Democrats received the
Government back in March last the
surplus in the Treasury had disap-
peared. The gold reserve was patch
ed up by Mr.. Fosters device of Dor
rowing from New York bankers. The
$9S,000,000 of free gold above the
$l00,000,000 reserve had dwindled
to $9S0,O00.
The country gained in gold i'm
ports during President Cleveland
first term $54, 772,00O Its net loss
during President Harrison's term
was $122,624,O0o.
The annual surplus followed the
accumulated surplus under the Har
rison- Reed Mckinley rule. The Bill
lion Dollar Congress cut off $50, 00O,-
600 of revenue, while raising the tar
III taxes in every schedule save two.
1t added $60,0O0,0OO to the pension
list, increasing it in four years, more
than the total cost of the list in 1880.
fifteen years after the close of the
war 1t added $70,0OO,O00 to the reg
ular annual appropriations. 1t
looted the Treasury with one hand
and threw away revenue with the
other, for the express purpose of pre-
venting such a reduction of the tariff
as the people ordered in 1890 and
again in 1892.
Every dollar of the deficiency that
exists or is in sight is due to Repub-
llcan legislation and Republican ex-
travagance. The new bond issue will
be known in history as the Republi-
can Deficiency Debt.-N. Y. World.

The Early Worm Draws the Bird.
The F. III. & P. extension will
bring rs a good many people from
Pennsylvania. They will come in
proportion as they are offered induce
ments.
What are our home people doing
to attract population
Business men who have enterprises
to promote, or property to sell ought
to be on the alert to catch the popu
lation that will be inclined to change
their residence as soon as the road is
opened. If these people who are
sure to come here to reconnoiter
don't find anybody with anything to
offer in the way of business, and no
body making any effort to induce
them to settle here, they will call it
dead town, and pass ON or go back
home.
1tlooks like this is the opportune
time for our boom company on the
bottom to boom their boom. 1t is
the time for our people to be acquain-
ting themselves with the situation
along the line Of the new road in or
der to ascertain what is worth going
for. 1t is a good time for little ju-
dicious advertising among our Penn
sylyania neighbors.
The early bird catches the worm,
and the early worm draws the bird.
We hope that the opening of the road
will not tend to deplete our popula-
ton by drawing our people off to
Pennsylvania, but rather increase it
by drawing Pennsylvanians up here.
But there is sure to be a movement
in one direction or the other, and the
course Of the movement will very
much depend on the enterprise of the
people of the respective sections.
