| Sayings.
If the man who is caught in the at
tempt to burglarize a house may be sent
| 70 the penitentiary how much more Sc
| we're should be the penalty against men
| who preach incendiarism and assassina-
| ton, since there are always dupes to
execute the ideas of their leaders? If it
| IS right to hang the anarchist who kills,
I! 1t is equally right to imprison the anar-
chist who counsels gillink.-Chicago In
! ter-Ocean.
1t would be idle To attempt to revise
the sugar schedule in the present Senate.
1t is bound hand and foot by the Sugar
| trust, and it would only be waste of
| valuable time to urge the passage of any
or the several single bills passed
| by the House. In fact these bills were
passed by the House simply as campaign
lodges and not with the hope of making
| them laws. Two of them relating to iron
coal and ore, are right in the abstract,
| but 1t is of little consequence whether
| they shall be passed or not. The gem
eral tariff policy of the country has been
| liked by the Wilson bill, and it matters
| not what party shall succeed IN 1896,
! there will be no material departure from
! the basis of our present tariff law Stop
! fooling with the tariff.-Philadelphia
| Times.
The PETER prophecy is interesting as
predicting what probably will not hap
pen; Mr.. PETER says the dissatisfied Re-
puollcanS, who are the free silver RepuD-
! llcans, will consult with the dissatisfied
| Democrats, too numerous to mention or
| classify just now, and these two disgrun-
tied bands will beg the Populists to take
them them in out Of the cold and the f wet Inc
will. in the language of the lamented
Democrat, Samuel j. Randall, get to-
gether" and make war on the Republican
! goldbugs and monopoliSts. PETER thinks
free silver is an issue big enough for a
whole campaign even in this big coun-
try. and he would like to see a fight
made on that alone.-Atchison Globe.
Out in Kansas there is a man who,
if the reporters have represented him
| correctly is man among thousand IN
politics. He is the defeated Republican
trict, the only Kansas district which did
not go overwhelmingly Republican.
Judge Ellis was beaten only by a narrow
margin-about 150-and although the rigid
| enforcement of the comparatively new
| Australian ballot law would unquestion-
ably produce Irregularities which would
seat him, Judge Ellis has fatty refused
| to contest his election on such grounds
and is reported as saying that he would
not have a certificate of election on
| those conditions.-Kansas City Star.
In nearly every line of business which
has to do with the chief necessaries of
life, the public is the victim of eNtortion
There are either formal trusts or combi-
nations in which it is understood that
certain robbery prices shall be maintain
ed. That there is a Bread trust Is evil
dent from the fact that the price of bread
is not affected By. the changes in the
price of flour. and the price of flour is not
affected by any changes in the price OF
wheat. If the matter could be pro5ed
thoroughly it would probably be found
that the retail price of meat has little
| to do with the wholesale price OF cat
| ten. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
1t is true to be sure, the government
| has the greenbacks and Sherman notes
which are redeemed. They swell its cash
balance, and it can use them for its cur
rent expenditures. In this very circum-
stance, however, lies one of the inherent
weaknesses of our financial system. Ii
| the greenbacks had all along been can
ceiled and destroyed as soon as redeemed
| less than half of the S346 600 600 nominally
or actually outstanding would be in eX-
istence now. But the government is COM
PEELED to pay them out again after 1t
gets it's hands on them, and thus 81 or
the S346, 600 of this currency may be
used to draw out several times its lace
value of the little S60,000,000 pile of gold
which is held as redemption fund.-St.
Louis Globe Democrat.
Another fact is pertinent. The Harri-
son administration increased the perma-
nent expenditures of the government
over $50, 100000 year, and the Mckinley
law, in its sugar schedule alone, in the
four years of it's existence deprived the
government of $27O,O000OO revenue. But
for that no bond issue would be neces-
sary. The government would have an
ample supply of funds to pay its way,
This is the way the surplus quickly
disappeared when President Cleveland
took charge" And the press" talks of
"mendacious lying."-Pittsburg Post.
Every banker in the country knows
that when his reserve is decreased by
the withdrawal of deposits. his only way
of protecting himself is by a proportion
ate decrease of his liabilities. The Treas
ury should do the same thing by holding
presented for redemption. The legal ten
ders are as necessary for the business of
the country as gold coin. They are gen
orally more so: but at present the ease
of money permits banks to present legal
tenders and draw out gold as wanted:
So long as the Treasury uses these legal
tenders for ordinary payments, the bank
ers can continue this operation with the
certainty that the legal tenders will be
put back into circulation. But let 1T be
known that legal tenders once redeemed
presented in exchange for them, and the
operation now going on will very soon
find its limits.-Pittsburg Post.
