TIE TARIFF QUESTION PERMA
NE,NTLY SETTLED.

The vote in the senate Wednesday on
Mr.. Grays motion, changing the duty on
sugar to 40 per cent ad valorem fiat, of
% in favor of the change and p against
it, settles the fate of the pop gun bills,
as the free sugar, free iron and free coal
bills are called, for this session with
no hope of a revival of free raw material
being entertained by the next congress,
or ~ long as the Republicans have
majority in congress. This vote settles
the tariff question finally and perma-
ncntly. 1t must stand where it is until
the Democrats are given by the people
an opportunity to renew the fight for raw
material in congress.
Neither Mr.. German nor Mr.. Bricc
voted. Their names are conspicuously alb
sent from both the yeas and the nays. The
same detection of Democrats that defeat
ed free sugar at the last session in the
senate defeated it again. 1t is warning
to Democracy not to trust to protective
Democrats. such as the German stripe.
That difficulty has met the Democratic
party in every opportunity, and every eff
| fort it has made to obey the mandates of
the people to give them free raw mate
| rial. Mr.. German, like the late Sam Ran
dali, has been in several emergencies val
liable to the Democratic party, and cs-
pccially to the people of the South. Mr..
Randall very calamity threw himself into
the breech to defeat the odious force bill,
and, so did Mr.. German, but these men,
more than any others, have crippled and
impeded the Democratic party in a thor
ough reform of the tariff according to
the Democratic doctrine of tariff for
revenue only, and not until the party
eliminates from its councils just such
men will it succeed in cutting out the
principles of protection by the roots.
1t is to be regretted by all patriotic
Democrats that the present short session
of congress was not awaited of while the
Democrats were ostensibly in the major
| ity to give the people of this country free
sugar ut least, but that majority was only
ostensble. There are Democrats in the
senate who have been sweetened by the
sugar trust, and any further effort in
this respect in this congress would be
useless and idle.
However every evil has some good in
it, and we must make the most of that
good when we are compelled to submit to
the evil. The tariff question is perma-

nently settled, and business can ADJUST
itself TO conform to the present tariff Dil.
In many things the present modified VIII
son bill gives the people of this country
large advantages over the Mckinley
tariff. So great are these advantages that
we believe the next Republican congress
will not dare to touch it with any kind OF
amendments, but the settlement ot It re-
leases commerce from any grounds OF
apprehension, and business can be done
upon the basis of the present tariff upon
strictly business principles, endangered
by nothing but the usual laws of trade,
supply and demand. That is a great re-
lief. and its benefits will be found in all
branches of trade. A merchant may now
lay in stocks of goods without any fear
of their being effected by any change in
the tariff schedule. 1t at least is great
blessing to the country, that the chan
nels of trade may be filled with volume
impossible to overflow from the artificial
means of legislation and only subject to
the natural swelling or diminishing tides
of the streams that flow in from every
section of the country, bearing upon their
bosoms the products of the country.
These estuaries will not be damned by
any artificial barriers, but flow on nat
urally and serenely to the ocean of com
merce, to be handled by our merchants
with sole regard to the markets.

MORE CrRRENCY plans.

Washington, Dec. PA letter was read
from Lyman j. Gage, the prominent
banker and financier of Chicago, at the
opening of the hearing of the house COM
mittee on banking and currency.
Referring to the recommendations OF
the president and Secretary Carlisle, Ma.
Gage says: Agreeing with the criticisms
hy these officers of the government as to
the present weakness of our situation and
the great desirability of separating the
government from the direct responsibility
of currency issues, | am persuaded that
the country is not ready to accept their
recommendations as to the methods pro
posed In making any change the method
should be so simple that all can cOmpre-
bend it, and it should be seen that the in.
cidental effects would not be in any direc-
ton disturbing to trade. commerce or in
dustry | believe the Baltimore plan car
ries the true principles of Il credit currency
but we cannot reach it by any one step,
and years may intervene before ii can be
realized"
He recommends the issuing of $3.50, 000,-
1000 bonds to retire government notes and
| to amend the banking act so that national
banks can issue notes in place of redeemed
currency.
The problem is this" he said, ito take
! the government out of the note issuing

currency in the process. Second, without

Secretary Carlisle's plan is subject to
the danger involved in the last sugges-
| ton.
A letter was read from +. n. Dbbs,
treasurer of the New York Life Insurance
company, approving the national banking
system with some notifications.
George G. Butler of New Haven then
addressed the committee. He presented
a currency plan that differs somewhat
from the secretary's and the Baltimore
plan. Its features included note issues
up to so per cent of a banks capital; re.
moval of the comptroller of the currency
to New York, where he is to have control

ent of notes issued. Mr.. Buffers plan

New York, presided over by the comp
troler of the currency; also the erection

al funerals. When congressman dies
in Washington committee is appointed
to accompany his remains to his late
home the poor fellows body is dumped
into baggage car, but the congressional
committee are served quite differently.
A palace sleeping car, with dining
room, wine room and kitchen, is at
tached to the train, and thousands of
dollars are spent for wine, whisky, CT
CARS and other Injuries, and the commit
tee have the most delightful jaunt at
the expense of the government that
money can procure. One funeral that
we recollect, the expenses ran up to over
$10000-and on that occasion we be-
lieve it was that when the funeral train
reached the home of the deceased the
congressional pail bearers accompany
ing the remains were too drunk to leave
the car and escort the remains to the
cemetery. Senator PETER proposes by
his little bill to reduce the expenses of
these funeral jaunts to more moderate
figures, limiting the supply of liquors to
insure sober pail bearers.

A FINANCIAL COMMISSION PRO,
POSED.

The bill presented to the house of rep
resentatives in congress last Saturday
providing for currency commission
seems to be in a line with the PROPOSE
ton that it was said the president had
made to several leading Democrats.
There is no evidence that he made the
proposition, but the bill very properly
presented provides for commission of
nine persons, three to be appointed by
the president, three senators to be Sc
lected by the president of the senate,
and three representatives to be named
by the speaker of the house, to con-
slider and report to the president upon
the following subjects:
First-The past and present condition
of the currency of the United States and
the necessity for increasing it's volume
or changing banking laws now in force.
Second-The change which has taken
place in the relative value of silver and
gold, and whether the change is due to
the depreciation of silver or to the ap-
probation of gold; the cause of the
change; the effect thereof upon finance,
trade commerce, agriculture, labor and
other interests of the country and upon
the standard Ol value III InlS anu olhei
countries.
Third-The policy of maintaining the
double standard in the United States,
and what should be the legal ratio be-
tween silver and gold when coined and
the best means of promoting interna-
tonal bimetallism.
The report, after being made to the
president, is to be submitted by him to
the senate and house not later than Dec.
10, 1895.
This question we have heretofore sug-
gested ought to be taken out of the do
main and acrimony of party politics and
settled by the wisest financial ability
of both parties. AS long as it is made
a party issue its conditions of settle
ment must subserve party ends. Taken
out of the domain of party it can be set
tied wisely and for the best interest of
the country.

TEXAS COTTON CROP.
A Few Comparative Figures From Gal

veston-Estimate of the Crop.
Galveston, Dec. 12.-GalvestOn's total
cotton receipts since and including Sept
1 last are 1,0O0,9GG bales; the total re-
ceipts for the same period last season
were 7O0,002 bales and for the year end
ing Aug. 81, last, 1,O2l.724 bales; mat nat
makes the total receipts so far TINS
season Al per cent greater than at the
same period last season.
On a basis of Galveston handling 60
per cent of the Texas crop, as hereto
fore. and supposing that the movement of
1S94-9J crop is in proportion to the
movement last year, Galvestons, re-
ceipts mt the close of the season, Aug
81. 1895, will be All, 800 bales.
This, then, brings out the query OF
"what will the crop be this year," Es-
Inmates by cotton men place the 1S94-91
Texas crop at from 2,5O0,OOO to 100
600. The Houston and Texas Central
Railway company estimate the crop at
the latter figure The 1912 season
crop was 100000 bales from 4, 749 OBJ
acres; the 1929 crop was 2,O23OOo
bales from 4,O33,29 acres; the 1S93-9i
crop was 1,S25, 900 bales an dthe acreage
men who are watching such things
closely say that the acreage in Texas,
to cotton this year is about the same as
in 1892 and if that be so, it would
seem that as conditions have been sim
liar this years crop would be somewhere
in he neighborhoood of that of 1S91-92:
or roughly, 100000. On a, basis of
Galvcston's present and probable re-
ceipts and admitting. thai, this port
handles 60 per cent Of the Texas crop,
the Texas cotton crop of 1S94-95 will be
roughly 2,4G2, 800 bales. These results
are obained by taking Galveston's re-
ceipts. previous crops and previous ,ag-
gregate yearly acreage. 1t is stated that
nearly 100000 bales, which would have
come to Galveston if tonnage rooom had
been adequate, went overland. Ihls
statement comes from Missouri, Kansas
and Texas officials.

During the past ten days hill of
sand has been rising on Warmers wharf
foot of Market street, until now it is
nearly twenty feet high, fifty feet wide
and one hundred feet long Estimated
weight, 5000 tons. The curiosity is
we'll worth visit.
The sand ia sharp and so free from
loan that there remains no doubt as to
the fact that 1t must have been carried
in some manner from a river where it
had been washed by the action of the
tide. Analysis proves it to be nearly
pure silica and well adapted for use in
furnace bottoms, mOuldings for steel
castings and paving and building pur-
poses 1t is OF great value to the
Messrs. Warner, who have a large
trade in sand and will supply their
sales from this deposit. WilmiagioR

The sand-hill referred to above az
existing on Warmers wharf, Whining
ton, is there at the expense or detri-
ment of Bombay Hook Island. The

shore between the Light House and

soon subject the island to the action of
the tides to a much greater degree
than has been the case in the past

A CIRCUMSTANCE worthy of note is
the large shipments of flour, in COM
parison with grain, from the United
States to Europe During the week
preceding Christmas says the BdItl-
more Sua some four hundred thousand
bushels of wheat in the form of flour
were shipped from Baltimore, while
during the same time there was no
shipment of grain at all. During the
same time from New York the ship
ment of wheat as -four was greatly in
excess, nearly double the shipments as
wheat. This indicates the inroads the
American millers are making upon the
business of the millers of Europe. The
engagement of vessels shows that the
export of breadstufs from Baltimore
during January will be very heavy.
