A Baboo Letter.

HoNoRED PREsIDENT-It IL with the
deepest grief and CONSERVATION that I take
up my penna to inform you that my beloved
spouse has gone to Davy Jones last night
at 9: 80 p. m, Madras time. The life Of
man has been officially declared to be IS
years, but hers was q nonregulation death,
for she kicked the bucket ut the early age
of "a. Hinc ill@ lacrim@. So I cannot
leave my home, and l greatly regret that I
must apply for leave on full pay for some
months to manage my household Affairs.
For how can doi My little daughter, aged
Q months, IL too young and tender, nor
has she the ready money down. rupee,
soyereigns, gold mohurs or what not to
make both ends of my grandmother meet.
Therefore, dear Cock, how car I be with
you to die at my posts On the expiration
of my leave, II IL be not necessary to take
an extension, then I will return and die
at my post with you, chap, good by, my
dear. I have the honor to be, sir, your
most obedient servant,

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
Then the Sun Adds IL Up.

In 1899, by a vote Of 5,556.533 Democratic to
5,l75.577 Republican. the people decided the
tariff issue against protection and in favor of
q tariff for revenue only. They declared
against an income tax by repudiating the
only parties that ventured to come out in its
favor. The Populists received only l,o4o,so'
votes and the Socialists only II. 1874.
What is the result? The theory Of protec-
ton rejected and denounced by the people in
1892 is applauded and sustained In 1894 by the
Democratic President and Democratic Con-
gress they elected TO carry out their will.
The income tax so CONTEMPORARY treated by
them Is made a cardinal feature of the pro-
tective and communistic tariff bill supported
by Grover Cleveland and that Democratic
Congress.
Thus the Democratic victory Of 1892 has
been turned into complete Democratic defeat
in 1894. The money and effort expended by
the Democracy In 1892 were wasted. The long
four months campaign was time thrown away.
Instead Of routing the Republican party and
Democratic party gives them both renewed
life and strength. Instead OF destroying pro-
lection by the election of Grover Cleveland
and~"a majority of both Houses Of Congress,
they perpetuate it. Instead of killing the
Communistic principle of AN income tax for
the punishment of thrift and enterprise, they
elected a President and Congress by whom it
is adopted and forced on them as a funda-
mental Democratic principle.

SENATOR STEWART will be remembered
as the man who preferred to lie ON his
back in a Senate cloak room rather than
to kill the infamous German bill by
voting against it. Only last Thursday
IN speaking Of the bin he said: TIT Is a
bill that I could not vote for when 1t
was mt upon its passage, because /
thought it unjust to my section. 1t
struck down one Of our principal indus
tries. 1t put wool, which is a great
industry, ON the free list. / thought
that was a great injustice, and l could
not vote for the BILL" The very next
day he had an opportunity to kill this
Measure by defeating one Of its most
vital provisions and instead of rising to
the opportunity he stayed in the cloak
room and nursed his wrath against
Cleveland by doing the very thing that
Cleveland hoped he would do. Stewart
may be able to square himself with his
constituents for refusing to strike a
blow in defence of one of their principal
industries, but il he can it will show
that they deserve no better champion
than a man who will lie quietly on his
back and see his State ruined without
raising his voice In protest.

NOT only is Debs riding around the
country in Pullman palace cars, but he
has greatly offended organized labor by
hiring a non-union band. The Chicago
Musical Society is the one having a
grievance against the late strike boss.
1t all came about over Debs' visit to
Terre Haute last Wednesday. When
Debs decided to leave Chicago he
thought it a good idea to do so with a
flourish of trumpets. He accordingly
sent a committee to the Chicago Musi-
cal Society to secure 10 men to take him
to the train. The &C mmittee agreed to
pay $33. After considering the matter,
however, it is said, the committee de-
cided the society price too high, and
they went and hired the Chicago Zouave
Band, a non-union organization, which
offered to do the work much cheaper.
The members Of the Chicago Musical
Society now want TO know the difference
between Pullman and Debs. They both
employ labor at the lowest prices, they
say. Come Debs, defend yourself.

"REFORM" ADMINISTRATION.

While it is all guess work % to what
has actually been done by the confer
ance committee, it is generally UNDER
stood that the conferrees have agreed on
practically every item Of disagreement
in the bill save the three that have
blocked their pathway to success. Those
agreements are in line with the conces-
sions heretofore mentioned in these COL
umns. 1t is further said they have about
settled the matter of iron ore and coal.
Iron ore will remain as fixed by the
Senate. Coal will also be kept on the
dutiable list without any change in the
rate of duty, but 1t may be that the
Senate will permit an amendment
which viii be In the line Of reciprocity,
admitting Canadian coal free IL the
Dominion admits the coal of this country
free. 1t is within the range OF
possibility that the Senate may
yield 8 per cent. on the duty on these
two articles. Sugar still continues the
bone of contention, the House conferrees
maintaining that they must have some
concessions there. Several propositions
have come from the House side, but as
all Of them look to the elimination of the
differential on refined sugar they have
been ignored by the Senate members Of
the conference.
This hint that a reciprocity amend
ment may be tackled on to the tariff bill
to let into the United States markets
free the products Of the Whitney coal
syndicate shows how earnest Cleveland
has been in his efforts to repay his debt
to the Whitneys. Socially as well as politi
cally Cleveland owes much to his former
Secretary Of the Navy and he naturally
is anxious TO acquit himself Of his obli-
CATION. What does he care il it ruins
an American industry IL he obliges his
friends and pays his debts?
This reform administration is being
shown up daily in its true light. 1t is
merely an aggregation Of ~bargainers
who are advancing personal interests ut
the expense Of the welfare OF the
country.

why Europe Takes Our Gold.

The United States Treasury is fast nearing n
point when it will be face to face with q great
crisis. Democratic imbecility. recklessness
and hostility TO American industry have de-
ranged the flnances as well as paralyzed the
industries Of the nation. Gold is going out of
the country at a threatening and unexpected
rate. The exports of the yellow metal last
week were nearly a million a day. Tho
treasury gold reserve has been reduced to
So. 00,OOO; ana still the Democratic party,
goaded on by Grover Cleveland, is bent on
forcing the country into industrial ruin and
commercial bankruptcy.
The reason for the gold exports is obvious.
Foreign investors have keenly watched the
course of events In the United States. They
have seen the abominable tariff bill prostrat-
ing industry, closing factories, gripping rail-
roads, beggering farmers and driving work.
ingmen In idleness and restitution out upon
the streets. Comprehendiug that the passage
of this ruinous measure meant the stagnation
of every American industry and the impover-
ishment OF tho American people, the foreign
holders Of American securities have been sell
ing them in immense quantities, draining the
country of its gold and inficting a heavy loss
upon business interests already staggering
under the crushing burden of threatened
Bourbon tariff legislation.
To assert, as did the New York World of
yesterday, that foreign capitalists were losing
confidence in American securities because of
revelations Of dishonest management In the
affairs of the Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe
Railroad. Is to utter ridiculous nonsense. Mis-
conduct In the control any single railroad or
Of any twenty railroads would not explain
the huge exports OF gold which menace
our financial stability and make merchants
and bankers look with intense anxiety to-
ward the future It. IL net the management
of American railroads. but the conduct of the
American Government that Is impeache ed. II
is because the industry Of the whole country
is threatened with ruin by the overthrow of
protection that European capitalists are max
ing a Wholesale sacrifice of their holdings OF
American securiti les.
The danger signal stands out plain and
large before Congress. VIII Northern
Congressman heed 1t before 1t is too later
The passage of the pending tariff bill would
not only accelerate the sale OF American
stocks and bonds by foreign holders; 1t would
Immediately increase the outward flow OF
gold by admitting a food of foreign goods
which would have to be paid for in
the ono kind OF money that Europe
demands In dealing with the
United States. Enactment of the tariff bill
means exhaustion Of the American gold sup
ply and rational bankruptcy. Persistence in
the attempt TO force the detestable measure
through Congress Is moral treason. The bill
should be resisted by every Republican with
all the resources OF obstruction. IL obstruction
becomes necessary TO defeat IL. The saliva
ton of the Republic Is the supreme duty Of
the hour.

House, then neither and then both. So
far as eau be learned the middle Is as
serious as ever, aud while the logic OF
the situation points TO compromise, as
yet none has been arranged so far
as the surface indications show.
Correspondentsr are kept busy guessing
and one mans guess is as good rs
another's. Senator A!drich gives 1t as
his opinion that there is a greater prob
ability that the bill will fail than that
it will pass. General Draper of Massa-
chusetts is strongly convinced that the
bill will not pass, but perhaps the most
significant expression m from Moses
Stevens Of Massachusetts, the only
Northern Democrat on the ways
and means committee, and who
has been very confident that
an agreement would be reached. now ex-
presses the opinion that Congress will
adjourn without enacting "A tariff bill.
1t is true that he is not a member of the
conference committee but his judgment
is made up from what he can gather
from his colleagues in the ways and
means committee who are.
In the meantime the business inter-
ests of the country are PROSTATE and
dying because Of Democratic interference
with the tariff which they are unable to
alter even to suit themselves.
