IT'S DIFFERENT, NOW.

The Democrats appear to have for
gotten all about the circumstances
under which Mr.. Thomas b. Reed re-
ceived the sobriquet of Scar" 1t is a
voluntary lapse of memory and so pal
pable that it puts the Bourbon kickers
in a most ridiculous position.
When Mr.. Reed had the temerity to
say that a member who was present
could not at one and the same time be
absent and, on the refusal
of such member present
to vote promptly, counted his nose and
made him an unwilling factor in the
process of obtaining quorum, there
was howl from the ranks of the I'M
terrified that sent a cold shiver up
and down the spinal column
of the nation. Abuse without stint was
heaped upon the Republican Speaker
who dared to say that a Democrat who
was present was not absent.
But now that the Democrats own the
Speakership and want to enforce meas
ures that are odious to the people, they
howl with equal enthusiasm against the
Republican filibusters. They dislike
their medicine. Let them squirm.

THE GIRLS AND GARVIN.

The committee of the General
Assembly on special legislation will give
hearing tomorrow on the absurd nine
hour bill of DR.. Garvin. When
you contemplate single feature of this
bill that proposes to cut off the work
of the hundreds of girls in the
Westminster street stores and
yank the fair maid in the country gro
Gerry from behind the counter and send
her home at sundown, you may arrive
at an idea of the complacent beauties of
the Garvin bill.
Saturday afternoon is an unfortunate
time for hearing to the remonstrants,
as neither the girls nor their
employees can have much time
away from business to bother with
Garvin bill. The young women in
the stores, however, don't care for DIR,
Garvin's solicitude when employment
is open to them with the Boston Store,
Ladd's, Gladding's. Shepard's and host
of smaller but none the less self-respect-
ing business men.

ence between the bullion value OF
dollar its coin value is less than II
bullion is cheap Now, if the bullion
value of silver dollar is fifty cents the
''seigniorage, or profit to the Govern
ment on that dollar is fifty cents.
Mr.. BANDS bill provides for the Issue
of silver certificates and silver notes on
the seigniorage and the remaining silver
bullion in the treasury. A silver dollar,
therefore. must be represented by a
dollar in currency,
So we have this peculiar situation re-
sulting from BANDS bill. The less
silver is actually worth the more silver
certificates Uncle Sam will put out, for
the greater the profit the larger the
seigniorage.
As the Boston Journal tersely says:
"As the price of silver drops the amount
of currency which can be issued against
the bullion in the Treasury, under the
.rlisle-Bland scheme, increases. Yet
the actual value of that bullion decreas'
could there be a greater financial abb
surdity?''
Carried out to logical conclusion
where would this end? The less the
value of the collateral, the larger the
amount of notes that could be issued
against the collateral.
Business men, think this over and
see how You Ike Democratic ffnancier-
ing.
Secretary Carlisle and Mr.. Bland are
very anxious to have this bill pass. IL
it should pass it would give Carlisle
currency with which to NEE. the run
ming expenses Of government and per-
haps save him when Congress gets ready
to investigate his recent bond issue.
If he can secure funds in some way
and avoid using the gold he acquired
yesterday by the sale of bonds, he will
be in better shape to face an accusing
investigating committee than if he is
compelled to use the gold obtained yes
terday to pay current running expenses,
contrary TO the law which authorized
him to issue the bonds.
IL is very weak expedient on the
part of the Democratic Secretary OF the
Treasury to initiate the currency III
order to escape the consequences
that would result from an illegal
conversion of gold derived from the
bond issue.
Such financial unsoundness has never
before been exhibited by Secretary of
the Treasury.

THE DEMOCRATIC QUANDARY.

In spite of the passage of the Wilson
bill by the House, the Democratic lead
ers are just as much at sea on the tariff
question as ever. The Democratic mem
bers of the finance committee of the
Senate are divided in regard to the tariff
question and all tariff legislation in the
Senate must come from this committee.
The leading members oppose the
Wilson bill, while the majority
are emphatically against an income tax.
The sentiment is strongly in favor of
free trade, with revenue duties on sugar,
iron and other commodities put on the
free list by the Wilson bill. Senator
Mills---of horizontal reduction fame--is
opposed to the Wilson bill on account of
its protective features" and
Jones of Arkansas wants to have a
bill modelled after the Walker low tariff.
While the leaders are endeavoring to
get together and agree upon some pol
icy, they have run up against another
snag. II is whether the House would
agree to any bill that the Senate might
devise if they threw the Wilson bill
into their waste basket and placed an
entirely new bill before Congress.
The free trade wing of the party is
fighting hard to secure the adoption of
an out-and-out free trade measure. This
is opposed by members who have not
yet progressed quite so far in Demo-
cratic principles, but who have gone far
enough to seek to destroy the protective
system. Free trade is making fight to
the death and the pressure that will
be brought to bear upon the
Senate finance committee will be we'll
nigh irresistible. As Democratic
leader stated int discussion of the sit
uation recently, the South and South
west intend to have free trade and, he
continued, eff the manufacturers had
any idea how strong and radical is the
free trade sentiment among the MEM
bers from the South and West they
would endeavor to have their represen-
tatives withdraw opposition from the
Wilson bill because it is much more
conservative measure than they are
likely to get by prolonging the fight"
This, however, is one way of looking at
it,---the Democratic way.
The question, however Congress may
decide it today, has already been fought
out during the past fourteen months.
The American people have seen what
effect threatening the industries of the
nation has upon the prosperity of the
country.
They have had taste of free trade.
They don't like il and they will depose
the party that has proposed it from
power and replace the party which for
30 years has made this, by wise and
patriotic legislation, the most prosper
GUS and contented nation OH the face of
the globe.
Every election since the Democratic
Congress first met in extraordinary ses-
sion has given indications of the way in
which the public regards the free trade
principles Of the Democracy. They
have condemned them at the polls over
whelmingly and next fall the free trade
theory will receive such a setback az il
can not recover from for half century
10 come.
