THE STATE SINKING FUND,

The state SINKING 1und, as the result
incompetence, if not the criminal negli.
gence of the last Republican legislature,
is in Il prec.uious condition and liable to
default July l., 1896, as the general rev.
enue fund defaulted on several occasions
within the past two years.
The total estimated receipts for the
fiscal year ending Nov. Is, 1895, will be
S522, SO, against which there are esti-
mated liabilities of $3.50, 125, leaving q
deficit of s67. 300 at the beginning of tLe
fiscal year of 1885, E..sed Gn tho gr;inl
duplicate the sinking fund for 1896 will
reach $3.50, 900, against which there will
be liabilities, including the above deficit,
of $642, 500.
On July 1, 1896, however, $500, 900 of
money borrowed by the last legislature
to meet extravagant disbursements will
fall due and become u charge against
the sinking fund, so that its true iabili
ties will be 81, 142, ,555, and its resources
but S550.OU0.
The dangerous folly of the late l:gis-
laturc is expiitied ty the act of borrow
ing $500, 0,00o for the general revenue
fund and charging it to the sinking fund.
and then failing to make any provision
to meet the liability The state has Dor.
rowed practic ally up to the constitu-
tional limit. and there is imminent dan-
ger of the sinking fund defaulting July
l, 1896, as the necessary sinking fund
can not be provided until the December
collections Of that year, and the state
can not borrow to meet the cxiGcncy.
The Ohio State Journal, the central
Republican organ cf the state, has at
last been driven into Il corner and COM
pelled to defend Republican extrava-
gance in the management of state af-
fairs. 1t admits that there has been al
increase of over &l1 900 year i'll the
department of workshop inspection,
since 1891, but explains it by saying that
salarie; have been advanced and row
Offices created. Certainly; and that Is
what the people are objccting to. They
do not propose to permit Il Republican
legislature to be elected, to go on multi
plying Offices and increasing salaries.
The Pennsylvania Democratic con-
vention put the whole story in few
words, when speaking, in their plat
form, of the effects of tho new tariff bill
upon the industries by saying: 1--WE
invite the attention of the wage Garners
to the fact that the present voluntary
increase of wages of those employed III
the manufacturing industries, amount
ing to no less than $3.50, ,000, 900, was ab-
solutcly unknown under the Mckinley |
tariff act" And yet the Republican
leaders in Ohio are clamoring for the |
restoration of McKinleyism and its long
train of evils and disasters.
With every department of the state !
government, and nearly or all the pub
lie institutions increasing their eXpendi-
lures at the rate of % per cent since
1891, no woiider the states revenues fall |
below the expenditures and money has
to be borrowed The Republican lead
ers try to explain this by Saying that it .
is only because salaries have been i'll
creased aud offices multiplied And by
that token VIC propose to turn them

upon Senator Brice, the state would be
sure Of Il capable and energetic repre-

Brice and his friends would cheerfully
acquiescc in the result The long and
short of it is that this is Il year in which
the Ohio Democrats intend to exercise

The State of Connecticut is now in
the midst of certain changes in it's old
and somewhat peculiar constitution.
The State officers are now elected by
majority rule, and the proposition is to
change to the plurality rule, such as we
have in Maine. 1t is probable that this
change will be brought about. Another
change proposed is readjustment of
Senatorial districts. The Connecticut
Senate is supposed to represent the people,
while the House represents the towns.
The smallest country place has in the
House as much representation as the city
Of Hartford. 1t is not probable that
this arrangement will be changed. The
Senatorial districts have gradually been
gerrymandered, and it is to undo this
gerrymandering that the readjustment il
invoked.

The cause of the trouble between Eng
land and Nicaragua dates back to an
op sode Of the Bluefeld troubles. A
British vice-consul, stationed at Bluefeld,
com mitted acts which the Nicaraguan
government deemed sufficiently serious
to call for his expulsion, and he was
promptly expelled. AS PREPARATION for
his exile and for the manner in (which it
was brought about the reported vice.
consul has demanded about seventy
thousand dollars. Great Britain has
peremptorily insisted upon payment OF
the demand. There are two aspects to
this affair. In the first place the repara-
ton which England demands seems ar
bitrary and excessive; and secondly,
there is strong suspicion that the real
British object is to gain a foothold in
Nicaragua which, as in the case of Egypt
may be prolonged into permanent oc-
cupation. The presence of England SO
near the Nicaragua canal, which Ameri-
can enterprise is building, must be mat
ter of great concern. John Bull has q
way of getting hold and keeping hold OF
good things commercially, without an
excessive regard for the rights and feel
ings of Others.

The citizens of Kyoto, Japan, are cele-
brating the eleven hundredth anniversary
of its founding by holding a great
national ex hibitiou. The governor of
the city has issued an invitation TO the
whole world to come and see the varied
products of Japan, and he promises that
"we will gladly do all we can" to make
the visit comfortable, profitable, and
interesting" "The citizens of Kyoto, "
he says, "are gentle and tender-hearted !;
hospitality is their very characteristic. +"
The exhibition will be open until the
end of July, and the visitor will not only
have the opportunities afforded by this
gathering of the products which Japan
offers for che worlds trade, but sthe
pleasure of seeing most ancient city.
That such an exhibition should be I'M
dertaken in the midst of great war,
speaks well for the Japanese system of
admin istration.

The decision of the Supreme Court III
favor of a rehearing upon the income
tax law will be generally gratifying.
A law of it's Importance must be backed
by something more than q mere mega
tive opinion of the court in order to Sc
cure for it the respect of the.-people, with
out which it cannot be properly enforced.
Before full court the law must either
be sustained or annulled, and that is
what is demanded. 1t is not at all likely
that the opinions of the judges who
have already pronounced upon the law
will be changed by rehearing, so the
tate of what is left of the law depends
upon the opinion of Judge Jackson, who
did not sit at the first hearing. Con-
corning his views there has been very
much speculation, hut nothing at all
definite is known about them. He
comes from the South. where the income
tax is popular, and judges like other
men are liable to be more or less affected
by public opinion, though they may try
to keep their judgment unclouded by it.

FREE COINAGE AND PROSPERITY

The worst blow possible to the move
ment for the frse coinage of silver at the
ration of 16 to / would be general re-
vival of business and industry and an
advance in prices, especially IN staple
articles. The revival of business had
more to do with the killing the green
back movement than all other causes
com bined, and the free silver move
ment in many ways is a close parallel to
the movement for an unlimited issue of
unredeemable paper dollars. The I'M
redeemable green back in unlimited num-
bers was offered as a remedy for the
hard times which succeeded the war
just as the light weight silver dollar
is offered as a remedy for the hard
times and low prices now existing. A
man who is sick is pretty likely to try
remedy on very little or no investiga-
ton, provided it holds out big promises
of a speedy cure. The coun try was
sick following the war. The prostra-
tion inevitable upon the vast waste and
extravaganza of the long struggle had
set in. The road to be travelled to reach
revival Of business and prosperity
was long and arduous, SO when the
green back theorist came along and with
plausible arguments pointed out short
cut to these changes, he found a great
many people eager to accept his argu-
ments and ready to follow his lead. Yet
today there are very few among the
ton, Of Will mi ~
follow him who do not admit that his
theory was unsound, and that to have
followed it would have brought disas-
ter. The secret of their readiness to &C.
cept it when offered them was that it
held out great promises of speedy relief
from the PROSTATE condition in which
| they were in. Their confidence in it
| sprang from their wishes and not from
their Judgment. What killed the green
| back theory was the revival of business
before it was put into practice.
The free coinage movement is different
in some respects from the green back
movement. 1t does not undertake to
make money absolutely out of nothing,
IL does not deny that some measure of
intrinsic value is necessary to consti-
tute sound money Yet il has derived
very much of its strength from the same
conditions which made the green back
movement popular. The advocate of
free coinage alleges that all the fall
in prices has been due to the demon
etizarion act of 1873. and contends that
prices will not rise again until that act
is repealed and silver restored to its old
place in the coinage. The great mass OF
the adherents of free silver coinage have
been won on these two propositions.
| The majority of men know very little
about the science of money, but,they
all know when prices are low and times
are hard, and when these conditions ex.
ist they are the easy prey of theorists
who claim to know just what is the
matter and just how to cure it, provided
the remedy promises speedy results. The
free coinage advocates have been holding
out in the midst of hard times the
promise of the speedy restoration OF
prosperity, and on the strength of this
promise great majority of their con-
verts have been made. A revival OF
prosperity without free coinage will de-
tach great many of the converts.
