Coxey.

There is great scare at Washington
over the approach of the Coxey army,
and laws are being hunted up to enable
the authorities to stop it on the confines
of the district. To allow Coxey to muster
his Commonwealers on the steps of the
Capitol and respectfully present their
petitions and demands to Congress and
have those demands go out among the
people in the newspapers, is something
that makes p1utocracy tremble to think
of. The pretense is that Coxey's army is
a mob of tramps which would endanger
the peace of the country and be scandal
to the United States among European
governments. Nothing seems to be too
ridiculous to urge as reason for mobbing
Coxey and his commouwealers-for
nothing conld be more so than the last
excuse. There is no doubt the present
demo-republican administration has
most servile respect for the monarchies of
Europe, and none whatever for the Amer
lean people, but their chief fear is that
such demonstrations as this of Coxey
will beget an intensity of feeling and
disgust in the American people by direct
ing their attention more closely on the
plutocratic measures the two old parties
are intent on carrying out. This is the
chief cause of fear which is beginning to
make the Washington and Wall street
aristocracy tremb1e. 1t is not Coxey and
his company of idle, destitute working
men the newspapers call tramps they fear.

Metal Honey.

An interesting article ON the
fourth page tells how silver dollars
are made. The labor and expense
required in making metal money
will surprise most people who have
never perhaps dreamed of the
amount of nice adjusting that is
necessary and the waste of metal
in the process. Was the science
and use of money generally under
stood a practical people like the
Americans would not be long in
abandoning metal and using moth
ing but paper money. In fact paper
money and bank credit are virtual
iy all the money at present in use.
Silver is only used in retail and
making change business. Gold is
not used at all in the exchange or
commercial business of the country,
and has become entirely useless as
money. In all the transactions
with gold of any magnitude it is
used purely as commodity. 1t is
kept at the same commercial value
in all countries by the demand for
coinage, and is by that means made
an easy and readily transferable
commodity.

Absenteeism.

The persistent neglect of the democrat
members to attend to the business of
Congress is doing as much to destroy the
party as Cleveland's disappointing course.
1t is probable that one in large measure
is the cause of the other. 1t is an evidence
the party is far from being In harmony
on any measure. From the present out
look the tariff bill is likely to fall through
as the Mills bill did, or as the Assessment
bill of the Maryland legislature. The
latest movement of the party is in the
direction of the repeal of the State bank
tax, another unpopular measure with the
great mass ofthe people, and only popu-
lar with a class of demagogues in the
democrat party. Every day that passes
shows more hopeless floundering in the
quicksands.

The prohibition vote at the recent
election in Rhode Island was 21S5.
There was considerable Dragging
about the enthusiasm of the arty

all the lively work reported ends in
a diminished vote each succeeding
year. 1t is only a question of time
when the party on it's present Or
ganization must peter out. After
a 20 year struggle to run national
distinct political party ought to

Gold measures currency values
Just as the yard stick measures
cloth. But who is so simple as to
argue that the utility of the cloth
depends upon the number of yard
sticks on hand to measure it with?
So says the Cecil Democrat, but
we don'tseej just how that is applied.
The paying for the cloth in work
or wheat, etc., is where the pinch
is felt.
If the government has the right
to issue money for the transaction
of it's own business. Why should
it borrow money from money lend
ers for this purpose and pay them
for the use of it?
Now that's neat question asked
by the Democrat. Send across the
street to the Wing Office and have
it answered with neatness and dis
patch. The Wing supports the
borrowing theory and of course can
tell the reason why.
The cOrnering of the products OF

sumption9,
This question by the same paper
not like the other, is easily answer
ed. The speculator buys it up tt

The Sugar TRUST Senators.


Senator Caffery made it quite clear in
his remarks in the Senate on Tuesday that
! the senators who are backing the sugar
trust are Senators German, Brice and
Smith. He declared that these three
sugar producers had much more to do
with the sugar schedule that the Senate
tackled on TO the tariff bill than the Louis
lana senators. Senator Caffery told some
secrets that were much less palatable to
Senator German than the party secrets
which Senator German told were to the
President He made it quite clear that
the Louisiana senators have been trying
to get fair treatment for the sugar pro
ducers, while Senators German, Brice
and Smith have been fighting only for the
sugar trust. II seems that the first sched-
ule demanded by those three senators
gave the trust more protection than they
have under the Mckinley tariff, and that
they framed the schedule against which
there is now such a vigorous protest
This schedule is not satisfactory to the
sugar producers, but is satisfactory to
the sugar trust.
The most remarkable thing in connec-
tion with this whole sugar business is the
lack of information as to what amount of
protection the trust has under the sugar
schedule in the pending bill. Nobody in
| congress seems to be able to furnish this
information and nobody seems to be try
ing to get it. 1t is true that Representa-
tive Harter asked the president of the
trust few days ago to furnish it, but it
has not been furnished, and it seems to
| be understood that it will not be-
But can it not be obtained from sources
| outside of sugar trust oficials2 There
are sugar experts who ought to be able
to furnish it. Why are they not called
upon2 1t looks as if congress wanted to
! legslate in respect to matter concern
ing which it admits it knows practically
nothing.
In the light of Senator Caffery's state
ments Senator Gorman's s speech, respect
ing his efforts to harmonic all differences
and shape the tariff hll so that it would
pass the Senate, loses all of its effect, and
| places him in most unenviable light. It
is seen that the senator's who made, and
are still making, all the trouble are Sena-
| tors Smith, Brice and himself. Senator
! Germans hard work consisted in making
all the other democratic senators agree
TO their terms. The people ought to have
no difficulty in deciding whether the
President or they are right. 1t is quite
| apparent that the President speaks for
the people, while they speak for the

What rs Hills Gamer

The man who is attracting the
most attention in congress is
Senator Hill This is all the more sur
/ prising because of the fact that even his
/ friends in New York predicted that he
would cut no fignre in the United States
: Senate. His political enemies called him
a peanut" politician, and they were
/ sincere. They thought his ability was
all in the line OF running the political ma
/ chine in New York
| In a surprisingly short time he has
made himself one of the most conspicu-
Gus figures in the Senate. As a debater
he stands in the front rank and for po-
litical shrewdness he has shown his
ability to give even Senator German
points When he entered the Senate the
old senators were inclined to look down
upon him. He is in a fair way to make
them look up to him.
There seems TO be no doubt from the
course he has pursued during the last few
weeks that he is playing a game But
what is his game2 His senatorial as
sociates are making guesses as to what it
is. They get no information from Sena-
tor Hill. He keeps his own counsel, and
seems confident of his ability to paddle
his own canoe"
Has he his eye upon the Presidential
nomination for 1895, or 1900? That is a
question that many are asking.
His defense of President Cleveland is
the most surprising thing he has yet done,
and is the most popular. He is not on
friendly terms with the President. He
has been at the White House but once
since he has been in Washington, and has
received no favors from the admlnistra-
ton. And yet he bore strong testimony
to the Presidents honesty and his fidelity
to the principles of the Democratic party
He didit because, as he said, he was fair
minded enough TO be just even to a po-
litical enemy
Strange careers these two men, Cleve-
land and Hill, have had! Cleveland was
mayor of Buffalo, and Hill was mayor of
Elmira when they were nominated for
governor and lieutenant governor, respec-
lively, of New York. They had never
met, and did not meet until they went to
Albany to accept the offices to which they
had been chosen. They were never in
udFuOuy 6dCu was In6 Leduer OF wing
of his party. When Cleveland became
President, Hill became governor, and
when Cleveland was defeated for a sec
ond term, Hill was chosen governor
again. In 1892 they both appeared at
Chicago as candidates for the Presi-
Dental nomination. Cleveland was sue
cessful and went to the white house a
second time, and Hill went to the Senate
Their hostility to each other cropped out
continuously until the other day, when
the greatest debate that has occurred dur
ing this administration of Cleveland be-
gan, and then Senator Hill played the
role of the defender of the President.
What is Senator Hills game2 Whatever
it is, it is the impression that he is play
ing it skillfully.
