MANY MORE MILLIONS.

The ninety millions of bonds per year
redeemed by Harrison will soon have
been all reissued by Cleveland. The
Morgan Belmont gang are scraping
UP all the floating gold they can find
about the mines of America, and as
soon as the supreme court has an
nounced another guess on the constitu-
tionality of the income tax law, these
chums of Cleveland will take cart
load of greenbacks over to the sub
treasury and drain it of gold. This
done Mr.. Cleveland will proceed TO
make his bargain with them good by
issuing another fifty million or so of
gold bonds. Under the terms of the
bargain it must be done previous TO
October LIST, and it will be months
previous. Its not for the gold so
much as to meet the running expenses.
Already this year the income under
a Democratic tariff has fallen forty
two million below the estimate, and
even had the estimate been realized
the expenses would have proved great
er than the income under quaSi-free
trade law by many millions. Yet doubt
less there are men to be found who
believe in Cleveland, believe in his
tariff and in his disinterested patriot
ism. The reduction Of the tariff tax
to the poor man has proved great
blessing-in a horn.
