Tt is possible that England will have
to pay very dearly for the demonetiza-
ton of silver. That crime against the
people of many countries may cause the
British to lose their Indian empire.
For some time past the restless discOn-
tent of the natives in India has excited
grave apprehcnSions and it is believed
that the country is on the verge of an
outbreak similar to the Sepoy mutiny Of
1857. Runners have been circula ting
through the various districts for months,
passing from Hand to hand small circular
pieces of plaster which are understood
to be the signals for an uprising. The
revolt of 1851 was preceded by Il similar
occurrence.
The British policy of closing the silver
mints in India has enraged the
natives, and as they can get
financial relief in no other way
their leaders are in favor of driving
their foreign oppresSOrS into the sea If
the people act with unity and determine
ton it will not be Il very difficult matter
for them to succeed. The natives num-
Der at least 3O0.000000 while the British
residents, soldiers and civilians are not
100000 strong.
The people of India have been robbed
and oppressed by their cOnquerors for
$50 years. They made a brave effort to
regain control of their country at the
time of the Scpoy rebellion, but the bar
barouS conduct Of such leaders as Mana
Sahib and the horrors of the black hole
of Calcutta turned the entire civilized
world against them. The next revolt

Recognizing the fact that the income
tax will probably become law, The Chi
cagO Herald says:
Would it not be good policy for the rich
to accept the proposed mode chcerfuil%,
especially seeing that by the proposed modi-
fication it will be temporary and Will cease
if found unsa satisfactory? They Will thus
gain time for a deliberate consideration OF
the whole subject. They must know that
in some way the existing system Will be
changed

practical about the movements of
party. Its course and management must
conform to the rules Of common sense.
There can be nothing more practical or
more in the nature of business than the
principles of the democratic platform,
for they relate almost wholly to the busl-
ness methods of the government. we
may, therefore, compare the democratic
party to a great business concern that
has employed Il superintendent to carry
out the plans of its stockholders. Or we
may compare the party to man who
has employed Il well-recommended per-
son to manage his farming interests.
If a railway superintendent makes an
error of judgment would it be a good
stroke of business for the stockholders
to abandon their property or destroy IL:
If a farm manager refuses to carry out
the policy of his employer would 1T be
wise to abandon the farm and disperse
those who carry on its work!
The element of common sense is as
necessary in party politics as in every
other affair of life, and common sense,
speaking in no uncertain tones at this
crisis in our political history, implores
all true democrats to avoid the extreme
of party desertion advocated by Judge
Hines, as well as the extreme of sac
rificing party principle advocated by the
patronage heelers and the cuckOos
The Richmond resolutions, in brief,
commend themselves to every true demo-
crat in the state, and the fact that they
were unanimously adopted manifcstS the
earnestnesS of the two thousand demo
Gratis who thus reafiirmed their fidelity
to the party and its principles.

plainly that taxes on consumption
are extremely unjust. AS time passes
they will see more and more plainly that
it is unfair to take far more IN
proportion for the public treasury from
men of small means than from men Of large
means. In times past indirect taxation
that it took money from people without
their knowing it. This reason will not be
available much longer. The people VIII
insist upon contribution for public purposes
more nearly in proportion to possessions.
1t behoOveS the rich to note this tendency
and guide it, if possible into the best and
safest channels. Obstinate resistance may
result in popular rush to extremes which
will be ilurLiul not only to the rich but to
the entire social body. The rich should re-
cOgniZe the danger and seek to guide IN
stead of resisting just demand, which IS
sure to prevail in way or another.
This is the reasonable way OF putting
it. The bill is limited in time and Invested
of all inquisitorial features. The people
will no longer stand the old system of
taxing consumers. This makes men pay,
not according to their means, but ac-
cordng to their wants and necessities.
1t is all wrong to force the poor to pay
q large percentage of taxes and let the
rich off with small percentage. The
income tax should have q fair trial, and
the millionaires should accept it grace

The East and the West,

The report of the comptroller of the
currency for 1893 gives some very signi-
ficant figures.
The total sum deposited in the savings
banks Of the country last year was ST.
7S5 150957. There are 1,WO savings
banks and 1880, 800 depOsitors, with an
average for each depositor of $3G9.35
The west cuts Il poor figure in the re-
port, and the south is not in it. New
York and MaSSac achusetts have more than
one-half of the money deposited ana more
than one-half of the number of depoS-
itors. New York has ,5O3, ,S04 and Massa-
chusetts 1,1SO926 depositors. The ag-
gregate of the deposits in the New ork
savings banks was $629,35S,274, and in
Massachusetts 1898, ,362.
While the poor people and middle
classes concentrate their wealth in the
eastern savings banks the national banks
keep pace with them, and of the 4,Oof
families who own SD, 100000, one
fifth of the wealth of the country, an
average of over s., 100000 for each fam
ilv. nine-tenths reside in the east.
Turning from the land of congested
wealth to the west we see very different
conditions The Springfield Repubhcan
says:
"a prominent western manager quoted
by The New York Journal of Commerce

of the situation in that quarter. WIN lhe

of the farmer, he says, have dechheo oO

ness per acre has materially decreased IN
the same time. On the other hand, there
has been hardly any reduction in the prices

buys This is his claim; and he concludes
that "whatever may have been the cause III
other countries Of financial depression, II
was a necessary consequence i'll the western
states where the producing capacity OF the
land has been decreasing, where 30 per
cent decrease has taken place in the value
of the products, and Where towns nave

| resources of the farmer
The Republican thinks that there can
be 10 great revival of industry until the

| to be gained by sticking to the high tariff
| system. Our contemporary does not go
far enough. The western farmers, WHO

| have clear understanding of the situa-
! ton. They know that the contraction or
the currency caused by the demOnetza-
! ton Of silver has lowered the prices or
their products, and they know that bet
| ter prices will not rule until we nave a
more abundant supply of currency. They
stand with their democratic brethren OF
the south and demand the redemption OF
the pledge of financial relief in the Chi
cago pIatform. Until this is accomplished
the west will be at the mercy of the
east and the south will find her progress
hampered by similar conditions, al

An Interesting Contest in Which Every
body has the Same Chance.

The Missing Word competitor craze is the latest
fad in England. 1t is exciting the whole country,
and hundreds of thousands of people are racking
their brains for missing words
Several London weeklies have started what they
call missing word competitions" and the craze
has affected all England to such extent TO
block the money order office and embarraSs the
whole postal service. The scheme is this: A
sentence is printed every week from which one
word is omitted for instance, tSmith is a"
ana people are invited to send in their guess with
a money order for shilling. The money sent in
is divided among the guessers who name the
correct word. A few weeks ago one paper distrib-
uted $4,000 among forty three correct guessers,
each man receiving over $500 for his shilling The
money order blanks have all been used up ut many
postoiilces, the mails are clOgged, and clubs have
been organized to go into the guessing business.

The Constitution makes this proposition:
Among those who supply the missing word in the

This leaves us the bare and actual cost of fur

may be on Il different line. The natives
have made some progress in civilization.
They have been educated, and they know
how to use firearms, organize armies, op
crate machinery and manufacture every
thing they need. If these O0,00O,OO0

aid to the rebels, and the natives will

The expected rebellion will be justified
by the circumstances. When England
closed the mints of India against silver
she drove the masses deeper in the mire
of poverty and left them face to face
with starvation. The victims are not
bound by any law of God or man to sub
nit to such wholesale spoliation. 1t is
to be hoped that the uprising will come.

that the gold standard has ruined her at
