THEY BEGIN TO OWN UP.

The New York World, which is more
frank than the average democratic
journal, yields to facts and owns up.
The following article on the subject of
"Defcits" is pretty near the truth and
it shows that the old party is a great
failure when it undertakes to run the
affairs of government. 1t is an ac-
acknowledgement that the country can
not expect anything from the late tar
iff act:
cit is time to face facts. The trou-
BILE in which the United States treas
ury is involved is not due primarily
to the defects in our currency system,
grave as they are, but to deficiency
of revenue. The income of the gov
ernment is less than its expenditure.
1t can not pay it's bills without bor-
rowing money. The figures given out
by the treasury show that month by
month we are running behind at about
the rate of $40, 10000 annually.
''During the first ten days of Janu-
ary the deficit was $6,213, ,744, or at
the rate of 1921 ,374.4O per day.
eve must get 100000 or more
from some source. If we do not in
crease income or cut off expenditures
we must borrow to make good the de-
ficit. We can not cut off expenditures
as congress is constituted. Obviously
we must increase income.
cit is to the relief of the treasury
that Mr.. Carlisle should now direct his
attention. Even if he could secure the
passage of his own or the substitute
currency bill it would not protect the
treasury against the drain which, in
spite of two bond issues of $50, 900 900,
each within the year, has run the gold
reserve down to $77, 100000 again and
threatens to compel another issue of
bonds within month.
'There are two ways out. One is to
levy taxes that will yield enough to
run the government. The other is to
provide an easy and inexpensive
method of protecting the national
credit by the sale of low rate, short
time bonds.
''But if this congress is to provide
either remedy it must set to work at
once, and the secretary must invoke
it's activity in the right direction.
"If this matter is not so adjusted by
the 4th of March as to satisfy the pub
lie mind this congress will expire with
a confession of hopeless incapacity
for it's record, and the president will
be compelled to call upon it's repub
lican successor for the needed relief''

A despatch from Bakersfield, Cal,
to the Chicago Times, states that lots
are being sold in the town of Concord
to many eastern people, and the in
terest in the subject is indicated by
the large numbers of letters of in
ouiry received. 1t states that the
town of Concord is a cactus waste,
many miles from human habitation,
and so desolate that even rabbits and
coyotes avoid it. The town is stu
ated on railroad, but it is destitute
of water, and can be irrigated only by
bringing water twenty-five or thirty
miles. The scheme is managed by
Chicago sharpers who have no con-
nection with any individual or firm in
California, and do all their business
on paper. And yet purchases of this
property occur daily by people who
transact the business wholly on the
representations of the spectators.
1t is only one of many Illustrations of
the gullibility of human nature in its
passion to get rich quickly

NOT ONE, BUT FOUR.

There has been great deal Of eulo-
CYSTIC matter floating about in the
papers of late relating to some of the
speaking performance of Representa-
tive Powers of the First Dist. Some
enthusiastic reporter seems to forget
the fact that Vermont has two repre-
sentatives and two senators, all of
whom the state is proud to honor,
and all of whom honor the state. Re-
Gently when the State of New Hamp-
shire presented Congress with the
statues of Gen. Stark and Daniel Web
ster, Mr.. Powers made a very hand
some speech which his reporter for
warded to the State press when it was
quite extensively published. 1t turns
out that an address of equal, proba-
bly, of greater Importance, was made
on the occasion by Gen. Grout of the
Second Dist. Gen. CIRCUITS address is
published and covers twelve or four
teen pages in pamphlet form and is
valuable contribution to history, and
is an address which may be read with
pleasure as literary production. The
speech commanded the attention of
the House and elected applause. The
following is a part of the peroration:
"Vermont tcongratulates New Hamp-
shire, and welcomes these her sons in
commemorative marble to the COM
panionship OF the great in marble and
bronze from other States. The hero
of Ticonderoga from Vermont well
comes the hero of Bennington from
New Hampshire. There let them
stand, typical soldiers of typical
States, contemporaries in life and in
the sculptured renown of death. The
eminent lawyer, jurist, and states
man, Jacob Collamer, who came near
er making good the place of Webster
in the Senate than any other man Of
his time, now welcomes that great
lawyer, orator, and statesman to that
silent illustrious assemblage.o

THE SAME OLD LIE.

Senator German of Maryland still
in his much advertised speech in the
senate the other day he adopted
method of argument which can not be
accounted for or explained away ex-
cept under the supposition that The
Maryland man imagined himself to be
haranguing the dear people from the
hustings. AS an illustration of Mr..
Gorman's method, he attacked the
Mckinley tariff law as failing to fur
n1sh sufficient revenues, and then eX-
ultingly exclaimed that during the
Harrison administration expenditures
had exceeded the receipts by $780,
900, 900. The assertion n that the Nc
Kinley law did not provide sufficient
revenues is such stale old campaign
lie that it is amazing that after the
results of the last election Mr.. Cor
man should reiterate it at this time.
Mr.. Allison quickly disposed of it by
showing its utter falsity. MIR. Cor
mans statement to the effect that the
expenditures during Harrison's ad-
ministration exceeded the receipts by
1926, 5000, 900 is explained by charging
as an expenditure the $26S, ,000, ZOO
voluntarily paid out during Harrison's
administration for the purchase of
bonds, whereby the people were saw
ed 500, ,352 ,493 in interest. To call this
an expenditure in the ordinary sense,
to be Offset by receipts, is too ridicu
lous to be worthy of a moments at
tention. No man in the United States
knows better than Mr.. German that
in making that statement he was try
ing to pervert the truth for the pur-
pose of misleading people. Moreover,
there was not any such s'excess of ex-
penditures over receipts" as he as
serted. There is not an intelligent
man probably in the United States
who does not know that there was no
deficiency during the Harrison ad-
ministration, and Mr.. Gorman's efforts
knowingly to try to mislead the pub
lie in that way is a key to his speech
and his character. = Statesman.

CASIMIR- PERIER'S RESTG-
NATION.

The resignation of President Casi-
mir Perier of France, following swift
ly upon the dissolution of the French
Cabinet, creates a crisis Of unusual
gravity for the French Republic. The
reasons given by the retiring Chief
Magistrate for his action in throwing
off the responsibilities of his high Of
flee seem to be personal as we'll as
political He declares that he has
been constantly and savagely assailed
by his opponents without the power
Of replying to their attacks, and he
apparently lacked the moral courage
which should have enabled him to
perform the duties which France had
placed upon him. Watched by hostile
Germany and hated by the monarchs
of Europe because of it's adherence to
representative institutions, the French
Republic is also confronted by serious
domestic problems through the in
creasing boldness of the Socialists.
After triumphantly withstanding the
political storms of quarter of CEN
tury, however, the Republic should
have acquired sufficient strength to
enable it to endure permanently, and
the American people will hope that
the present crisis will quickly pass
away like those which have preceded
it, leaving the fabric of republican
government still unshaken.-Press.

The attack which Mr.. German made
upon Mr.. Hill in the Senate is another
proof of the decentralization of De-
mocracy. The party is quarrelsome
and disorganized. It's leaders distrust
each other and even themselves.
They see nothing but certain defeat
before them, and their only ambition
is throw the responsibility upon other
shoulders. Democracy is at war with
it's President, and its leaders attack
each other openly upon the Senate
floor. Everybody sees the approach
ing storm and is trying to get under
cover. The party is one mass of jeal-
ousy, distrust and fear. Selfishness
and confusion are the prevailing char
acteristics, and national Democracy
is, indeed, in a sorry plight. t.-Press.

Northern corporations have taken
warning from the rapid development
of cotton manufacturing in the south,

SRERMAN'S PLAN.

There have been renewed efforts to
secure some action upon currency
bill, but it seems almost unavailing.
The indications are that it will be i'm
possible for the democrats who con-
troll the two houses of congress to
come to any agreement upon finan-
cial bill, unless there be a financial
panic between the present and March
4, which would force the ruling fac
tions in the democracy to some ra-
tional agreement upon the currency
question.
continuing the efforts which have
thus far resulted in failure, and which
seem certain to continue to be fruit
less, to change the currency system
of the country when the treasury is
in an emergency and is in pressing
needs of two things:
First, more revenue.
Second, the means of obtaining and
retaining gold reserve.
Yet in this great emergency the
Administration shows such incapacity
that it is devoting all of it's energy to
the attempt to change the existing
currency system, in order to satisfy
the Southern demand for State banks
The president and the Secretary of
Treasury apparently fear to face the
factions in their own party which are
opposed to the issue of bonds. The
secretary of the treasury, in fact, at
an early period of this administration,
declared that no bonds should be is
sued while he was secretary of the
treasury. Bonds have been issued,
and will be issued, and Mr.. Carlisle

has announced that he intends to re-
main in the treasury department dur
ing this administration.
No progress has been made during
the last week in the movement for
the solution of the currency question.
Senator Jones of Arkansas IS recelv-
ing little encouragement for his finan-
cial compromise. Neither Mr.. Vest
nor Mr.. Mcpherson appears to have
any hope of the adoption of his plan.
It is even said that Senator Jones has
received SO little encouragement that
he does not intend to propose his plan.
Meanwhile, the factions among the
democrats have been more strongly
arrayed against each other than ever
before, because of the speech Of Sen
ator German. His declaration that he
would not follow any democratic lead
er who, in time of peace, should rec
ommend the issue of bonds for the
current expenditures of the govern
ment, has aroused a very bitter feel
ing.
1t is understood that Senator Sher-
man has prepared plan which he be-
lieves the republicans will support
in order to aid the democrats in the
present emergency. Mr.. Sherman's
plan is said to consist of two propo-
sitions:
First, one for the issue of bonds for
the purpose of maintaining the re-
serve, and for the c1rrent expenses
of the treasury, the amount to be
within certain limit, and to be sold
at not less than par at per cent in
terest
Sc cond, the other essential feature
provides for the increase of national
bank circulation up to the par value
of bonds deposited to secure circula-
ton.
There are two reasons why the re-
publicans do not hasten to accept the
suggestions of Senator Sherman. One
is, that they do not believe that they
are under any obligations to assume
the responsibility for originating fl
nancial measures when they are with
out power and responsibility. The
experience which they have had
makes it seem unwise to volunteer
advice.
The debate in the senate furnished
additional evidence as to the COM
plete decentralization of the democrat
io -Par5sSS ~NTFe quarrel of the factions
continue. Mr.. Vest, stung by the
taunts of Senator Hill and others, vi
olated all party usages, and the fam
ed traditions of the senate, and reveal
ed the secrets of the tariff conference
committee of the last session. Mr..
Vest did this in an effort to Justify
himself His disclosures revealed the
fact that the tariff bill of the last ses-
sion was miserable piece of patch
work, and that it was an extraordin-
ary product of the trade and dicker
by which alone democratic legislation
seems possible. According to the
confessions of Senator Vest, democrat
ic senators stood at every corner de-
manding their pound of flesh, and in
sisting on certain concessions as the
condition of their votes. The result
was the passage of the bill upon the
statute books, which Senator German
of Maryland, who was chiefly instru-
mental is framing, now publicly de-
clares is utterly inadequate to the ne
cessities of the government, and is
certain not to yield enough revenue
