The theory 1f the striking miners is

high wages, because when the supply Of

More Bonds.

The election echoes have scarcely
died out till the newspapers bring the
news that another issue Of $50, 600, 600
is to be made. Grover Cleveland, the
king, has decreed it, and they will
likely be issued this week.
1t is said that Secretary Carlisle has
been against the issue. He argued 81
the report says, that the receipts
from internal revenue and customs
must of necessity soon show marked
increase. The supply OF whiSkej
which was withdrawn from bond just
prior to the passage of the new tariff
act to avoid the payment of the addi
tiOnal 20 cents per gallon would soon
be exhausted, and the demands of
trade would result in largely increased
revenues from this source, and what
was true of the internal revenue was
equally true Of the customs.
He argued, too, that his experience
in placing the last issue taught him
that the issue of another $50, ,OOO, 600
might fall far short of recOuping the
gold reserve by that amount. 1t was
au easy matter to deposit legal ten
ders at the subtreaSuries and demand
gold with which to pay for the bonds.
This evasion of the spirit of the law
authorizing the issue of the bonds
was several times detected during
the settlements for the last issue and
he feared it might be practiced again.
The president. however, thought that,
all things considered, he had pre-
ferred not to wait until congress re-
assembled in December, when meas
ures might be taken to obstruct the
issue. In his opinion the situation
demanded the issue, and there should
be no unnecessary delay in the mat
ter.
1t would indeed be too bad if the
peoples representatives in congress
should put distractions in the way
of such wise king. ''In his opinion
the situation demanded the issue,
and what Grover Cleveland doesn't
know John Sherman does. The peo-
ple's representatives elected for the
purpose eff speaking for them are
mere lot of pie hunters, unworthy to
touch the garment of one so wise as
our king!
We call attention to the fact that
Secretary Carlisle acknowledges that
the legal tender gold on demand
swindle heretofore pointed out by
populists in connection with the
last issue was actually experienced.
1t is a swindle that even the intelli-
gence of hail barbarouS Egypt ought
to detect and stop, saying nothing
of the enlightened and gOOd-natureC
but party ridden people of the Uni
ted States.

not know that the last republican

in order to place the burden of blame
on the democrats. The fact is made
clear in the following letter from Sec
