A TAME AFFAIR,

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 21.-Jack Ever bardt of New Orleans and Owen Zeigler of Philadelphia met in four-round bout at the Winter circus building tonight. The fight was comparatively tame. Both men seemed to have wholesome respect for the others punching abilities, and for the. irst three rounds they spent more time in hang ing around each others neck than in fight ing, with Everhardt having a shade th 0 best of it. In the last round Zsigler got in some stiff punches, but neither man was in any distress when time was called. No de- cisiOu was rendered.

Then and Now.

The point to be made. the point
which the shrcwder Republican
journals have made. is not that
times are not better than they were,
but that they are not nearly so
good as were before the election
of Cleveland and the Wilson Con-
grcss. That is the standard by
which the influence Of politics on
the present business conditions is
to be Judged, and it is one which
commends is itself to thinking
men. Applying that test and
where does the Democracy come
out! More mills are in operation
now than year and a half ago,
but not so many are working as in
1S90-91-92. There have been ad-
vances in wages, but wages are
still below the figures of that time.
Fewer hands are, despite the in
crease, still employed. 1t is not
that enough to condemn the party
in power.
1t is only necessary to tell the
truth concerning the chances of
two and one half years in order to
establish all that Republicans con-
tend for. The facts are known to the
people and it only weakens the leg
itimate and forcible arguments
which are at Republican hands to
exaggeratc the situation.-Phila

told by Mr.. Bland and his fellow
fanatics that the effect of said legis-
lation in the interests Of stable cur
rency and the maintenance Of the
public credit was to make life har-
der for laboring people. But these
figures directly and conclusively
refute that sort of talk by demon
strating that the surplus earnings
of that class increased 80 per cent
in the year ending June 30, 1894,
over the fiscal year in which 1.-The
great crime" is alleged to have
blighted the general prosperity and
and brought all kinds of misfortune
to pass. The testimony of the saw
ings banks is practical and unan-
swcrablc in this relation. 1t is
impossible for workingmen to
make deposits unless they earn
more money thanit coststhemto live;
and when such deposits are doubled
under a given policy it is folly to
to declare that policy fraud and
an outrage. The simple truth is,
as these statistics prove, that the
legislation of 1873, with the regard
to silver, which the free coiners
never tire Of denouncing in the
most indignant scurrilous terms,
did not do any harm to wage-earn-
ers, but tended rather to increase
savings, and to promote their COM
fort and happiness.

The latest move Of the Cleve-
hand administration i'll the matter
Of civil service reform is to bring
fourth class postmasters within the
rules. OF course, these Offices
have, as far as it has been possible,
been filled with Democrats, and if
the rules are to be applied to this
department it will practically give
the present incumbents of fourth
class offices life tenure. Such a
policy is not in conformity with the
established customs Of the Ameri-
can people nor is it likely to be
productive in efficiency Of service:
but rather Of official arrogance.
The system of life tenure in ap-
pointive Office is entirely foreign.
and there is more or less danger in
it to free and independent govern
ment by the people; it is, in fact,
monarchial, and, therefore, cannot
be too heartily condemned. We
do not descry the policy because
we are with the ''outs," but be-
cause in rotation in office lies the
safety Of our Republican govern
ment. Let the people decide who
should or should not have the
oHno,.

WHILE the Democratic papers
are jubilantly announcing an in
crease here and there in the earn
ings Of the wage-workcr, and pro-
claiming it to be the result of the
Wilson tariff law, the wage-worker
himself is not uttering expressions
to the same effect. Any one of an
investigating turn of mind may 60
into the great lead producing dis
trict in our neighboring county of
St. Francois, and he will find there
hundreds of men who will tell him,
"preach to us no longer of tariff re-
form for such has been the means
of our undoing." He will find there
that wages are now fully so per
cent lower than they were in 1892,
in spite of a recent increase of 10
per cent. Men who two years ago
received two dollars for eight hours
work are now getting a dollar and
a quarter for ten hours work.
Such are the benefits of tariff re-
form to the wage-worker. That
there is an improvement over the
conditions of last year we admit,
but is only slight. That we are
approaching prosperity again we
believe. but it will be long time
before the prosperous conditions
that existed just previous to 1898
will be reached.

The increase in the price Of cot
ton will materially offset the craze
for free silver in the south, as it
refutes one of the best arguments
presented by the advocates of free
coinage, that is, that the low price
of cotton was due to the so-called
demonitization of silver. The rise
in the price Of iron is also another
stumbling block in the path of the
silver people.

The Savings of the People.
FROM THE GLOBE DEMOCRAT.

The official figures in the Statisti-
cal Abstract of the United States
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1894, shows that there were in that
time 4,U7, 7,6S1 dcpositors in say
ings banks, and that they aggre-
gated 81, TAI, ,?61, $50. This is not
a complete showing, as the banks of
number of States were not re-
ported. 1t is estimated that with
such banks included, the amount
of deposits would have been increas-
ed to about 1900, 100000 In the
absence Of the official figures for
the year ending June 80, 1895, it
is impossible to tell how the depos-
its of that year compare with those
Of the previous one; but is it safe to
say that there has been consider
able decrease, on account of the
unfavorable conditions that pre-
vailed in the closing months of
1894 and the early part 1895.
When there is full employment for
labor, and wages are good, the
deposits Of the savings banks show
a regular increase, which repre-
sents the surplus to the credit of
the workingmen after the payment
of their expenses Of living. There
is no better barometer of prosperity
of the country. The money in these
saving banks is the most reliable
indication of the material situation
of the wage-earners who constitute
such large portion Of the people.
and whose welfare is the basis of
national good fortune.
If we can not know what the de-
crease has been in the past year, we
canat least see that the savings banks
deposits during the twelve months
above noted were more than twice
as large as those of 1873, the year
in which ''the great crime of de
monctization of silver was perpe-
Itrated. We are continually being

THE ''Indepcndcnt'' came out last
week with another long denial of
the treasury deficit as we have
proclaimed it, but says that it is
to be the last it will make on the
subject. 1t would be we'll for our
contemporary to remain silent, for
its statements only clinch the fact
that we are right in our side Of the
ease. Making dcnials in one breath
and excuses in the next will not
do much towards convincing the
taxpayers that the late administra-
ton left the general revenue fund
in good shape. Our contemporary
quotes a number of small warrants
issued at the February term of the
present year, and says we have
charged these to the old court.
All our readers know that we never
mixed the warrants of the new
court with those of the old. Our
claim is that before a single war
rant was issued by the present
court the general revenue fund was
-, ,s61.70 behind the expenditures
on warrants issued by the old court.
This we have substantiated. Par
ticular stress is laid by the ''Indc-
pendent" upon its statement that
our county warrants are at Il dis
count of 10 or Is per cent. This
is equivalent to an admission that
the old court left things in a bad
shape. During the few months
the new court has been in power
no unusual expenditures have oc-
cured, and consequently, it could
not have created Il deficit large
enough to bring its warrants at a
discount. This will be fully com
pretended by all. The warrants
of the old court were at a discount
when its regime ended. We have
presented our side of the case in
plain statements, and without
cquivocation. We are not ready
to cry quits as long as our contem-
porary unwittingly opens the doors
for argument.
