THE DEMAND FOR GOLD.
Protectionist Method of Increasing tn,
Revenue.

Revenue.
Certain republican leaders who are
looking forward to tampering with the
tariff during the coming session of con-
gress are endeavoring to revive the
theory that an increase of revenue is
all that is needed to maintain the gold
reserve. This is a fallacy unless we
assume that the increase is SO great as
to carry with it all the dangers of a
large surplus. The revenue from the
customs and internal receipts is now
coming into the treasury at rate
which if maintained throughout the
year will leave but trifling deficit on
June 80, 1896, but it will require an
enormous increase of taxation to pile
up surplus sufficient to protect the
treasury from any possible demand for
gold. It will be necessary in order to
put off this demand to lock up the en-
tire volume of legal tender paper which
has been issued by the government,
and which amounts to four hundred
million dollars, or about three hundred
and fifteen million dollars in excess of
the present treasury balance. The cash
now on hand is ample for the ordinary
purposes of the treasury and will not
be materially reduced during the pres
emit year. The receipts since July 1
have averaged million dollars day,
including Sundays and holidays, or at
the rate of three hundred and sixty
FIVE millions per annum. This will
more than cover the ordinary expendi-
lures and would be ample to protect
the treasury but for the endless chain"
of greenbacks which draws out the
gold. Protectionist leaders can hardly
hope, however. that the people can be
induced to look with favor upon a prop
osition to increase the taxes to point
high enough to accumulate four hun
dred million dollar surplus as the best
possible means of solving the currency
problem-Detroit Free Press.

BOWLERiS DECISION

IN tho Sugar Bounty Cases Made Public
Referred to tho Court Of Claims-Juris-
dictfon Over the Matter Claimed and the
Unconstitutionality OF the Law Under
Former Court Decision Asserted.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The long-ex-
pected and meteorological decision
OF Mr.. r. b. Bowler. comptroller of
the treasury, in the sugar bounty
cases was made public yesterday after
noon.
As predicted in the United Pre- IS dis
patches ten days ago. the comptroller
refers the whole matter to the court
of claims for adjudication. The par
ticular case decided was the claim Of
the Oxnard Beet Sugar Co. of Ne
braska tor the payment of a portion
of the sugar bounty appropriated in
the sundry civil bill passed by the last
congress The amount involved in
this case was only l1,7s2 so. being the
first claim allowed by the commits
sioner of internal revenue under an
appropriation of S23s. 900 to pay the
producers of beet sorghum or cane
sugar previous to the 2sth of August,
1894, when the sugar bounty provi-
sions of the Mckinley law was re-
pealed. But the decision, of course,
involves the constitutionality of al,
sugar bounties-
The comptroller first asserts his
jurisdiction over the matter and his
rights to refuse payment of these
bounties on the ground of the uncon-
stitutionality of the appropriation.
He quotes the decision of the court of
appeals of the District of Columbia in
suit brought before them by the
Miles Plant Manufacturing Co., of
Lou :Siana. for a mandamus to compel
commissioner of internal revenue to
pay the sugar bounties provided for
by the Mckinley law, and holds in
substance that that court having de-
cided all such bounties to be unconsti-
tutional, its decision was one of which
he was bound to take cognizance-
The papers in the present case will
therefore be returned t. the auditor
for transmission by him, through the
secretary of the treasury, to the court
of claims, under section 1902. for the
rendition of judgment. as required
by the provision of section 1864 of the
Revised Statutes. in order that there
may be furnished precedent for the
future action of Ithel executive de-
partment in the adjustment of THE
class of cases involved in these sugar
bounties."

OUR NATIONAL WEALTH.

AE1ER ONE YEAR.
Mills Running Double Time and Wages
Increasing.


Increasing.
The Wilson tariff law has been in
force one year When it took effect
commercial conditions in the United
States were more distressing, more dis
astrous than they ever had been since
the time of Black Friday. After one
years operation of democratic legisla
ton there appears striking revival in
business, marked increase in wages,
healthier tone in every market. The
triumph of the measure, to which the
democracy in congress lent its most in
teliigent energies, has been complete.
New York paper signalized the
anniversary of the Wilson law by the
publication of an itemized statement,
showing the experience of one year
under the Mckinley law and one year
under the Wilson law. The statement,
which was gathered from the most
trustworthy sources of information.
demonstrates that within year after
the enactment of the Mckinley law
wages had been reduced in an i'm
mense number of esta blishments; fac
tories and mills were closed down and
the whole tendency of the manufac-
turing interests in the United States
was toward disaster. On the other
hand. the year which has passed I'M
der the Wilson law has seen mills
reopening, running at double time, and
voluntary increase of wages by a
host Of manufacturing corporations.
1t is further demonstrated by these
statistics that while wages have risen
prices have decreased. 1t is shown
that not only mas the wage worker
profited by democratic legislation. but
the consumer as well. More is put into
the pockets of the people. Less is
taken out.
Postmaster General Wilson himself,
author of the law. writing to the World
in comment upon its statistics, reduces
the whole theory and pratice of tariff
legislation to an axiom when he says:
There is no way TO protect American
industry except by relieving it from
burdens upon the materials with which
ii works; no way to insure good
wages and steady employment to
home labor except by freeing it from
the shackles which have confined it to
a glutted home market and prevented
it from seeking it's customers all over
the world
Freedom after all is the only stimu-
liant for the industrial world as for the
individual. Take off the shackles in
each case. Let every man be as free
as every other man to do what he will.
Let him enjoy with every other man
access to all natural opportunities.
Let the nation, like the individual, be
free-free from limitations imposed
under the guise of protection. This
done. justice will be secured in the
case of individual and of nation, and
he is but a poor American who does
not believe that with absolute justice,
with equality of opportunity, the
American as an individual or the
American as a race can hold his own
against any people Of the earth.-Chi'
cago Chronicle.

THE COWARDLY DONS
Claim to Have Been Right in the Alliance
Affair and Yet Apolosized.

Affair and Yet Apolosized.
Madrid, Sept. Count Hoblsbirlx,
the Frenchman who was on board the
American steamer Alliance at the time
she was fired on by Spanish war ship
off the coast of Cuba, in an interview
yesterday said that the Alliance was
so close to the shore that he could see
the inhabitants clearly. When Capt.
Crossman, the master of the Alliance,
saw the Condo de Venadito, the war
ship which fred on the American YES
sci, he was enraged, because he knew
he would not be able to land the arms
he had a board the vessel. He exclaimed:
Il will kick up nice row when l
reach the United States"
Senior Muruago, formerly Spanish
minister to the United States, has
written to the paper stating that he
resigned because he had proven that
thesConde de Venadito was right in
firing on the Alliance. He could not
consent that Spain should give humil
iations to the United States for an in
cident in which the United States was
in fault. Moreover, it is known in the
United States that Capt. Crossnan
Struggled arms to the rebels in Brazil
during the civil war in that country
and that he now carries or a brisk
trade smuggling arms to the insur-
gents in Cuba.
Senior Muruago said that he had
statements OF witnesses that the ALI
anca carried contraband of war and
that she was only a mile and 4 half
from the Cuban coast when the war
ship hailed her. lie sent these state
ments and full report of the occur
ence to the Madrid government, but
they concealed them.
The Spanish press is indignant over
these revelations, and violently at
tacks the United States and the Span
ish government. The newspapers de-
clare that the action of the United
States in sending an ultimatum was
gross abuse of strength, seeing Spain's
difficulty at the time.

PROTECTION THAT PROTECTS

Democratic Rule.

American industries FiOurlSnlnS OnOer
Democratic Rule.
Another encouragement for tho Nc
kinieyites comes out of Pennsylvania,
where the differences between coal
miners and their employers have been
adjusted upon the basis of an advance
in wages
Advances in wages under demo
cratic tariff are never acceptable to
republicans on the eve of a campaign
in which it is proposed to make the re-
opening of the tariff question the
''overshadowing issue" But they are
occurring with degree of regularity
to make the republican outlook any
thing but bright or promising.
This advance, like that recently made
to the employees of the Carnegie and
other iron and steel manufacturing
concerns in Pennsylvania, is an ad-
vance over the old Mckinley prices 1t
is an advance, in other words, over the
price Of labor paid under high protec-
ton. Settlements of strikes on such a
basis were of rare occurrence under
the republican tariff law. Their fire.
uuent occurrence under the present
law does not encourage the threat
made by republican leaders that when
their party comes into full control of
the government it will revise the tariff
on lines of higher protection Ito Amer
lean industry and American labor"
Both American industry and Ameri-
can labor are in the enjoyment of more
and better protection now than they
received under the highest tariff ever
laid in this country, if we consider the
term protection in its proper meaning
as fostering and encouragement OF
both labor and capital. Republican
politicians succeeded during the years
of their control of the government
in giving the word a significat ton
which never properly belonged to it

OUTLOOK OF THE SENATE.
Need of Hearty and United Action Among
Democrats.

NecQ Ot anu Ouitc0 <ACtlOu <2AhOxA8
Democrats.
The democrats of New York should
do something to help assure a demo-
cratic majority in tho United States
senate. When that BODY meets in De-
cember it will be made up of forty
three republicans, thirty-eight demo-
Gratis and seven democratic and repub-
lican populists. The condition of par
ties may remain until 1897, when the
successors to twenty-nine senators
will be chosen. OF these tweuty-nine
twelve are now republicans, fourteen
are democrats and three are populists
Ii IS safe to assume that ten of the
states now represented by republicans
will be held for that party, and that
they may gain three senators from
states now held by populists and one
from the democrats That will give
them fourteen of the new senators.
On the other hand. should the demo-
Gratis secure the Utah senators and
hold New York and Ohio they would
have sixteen of the new senators in
1897. If Nevada remained strict sill
yer state and its new senator insisted
upon standing out with Stewart, the
populists in the senate would be but
three in number-Allen, of Nebraska;
Stewart and Jones-if Jones insisted
upon returning from Nevada. It ap-
pears to be possible that in 1897 the
senate may stand forty-five democrats,
forty-one repu blicans and three indie
pendents
If New York state is thrown away to
the republica, S. the chance of max
ing the above showing better will be
gone. It is for the democrats of Uli-
nois, Ohio, Wisconsin, North Carolina
and Utah to work out the advantage
of the party in those states. New York
democrats who can appreciate the inn
portance of having control of the SEN
ate OF the United States, particularly
in the possible event of a change of ad-
ministration, will need but little urg-
ing to impress upon them the supreme
need of united and hearty action this
wear and next.-N. Y. Times.

sible for the first charge against him,
culpable inefficiency in the perform
ance of his duty. There was no law,
he said, specifying what captains
duty was under these circumstances.
and his duty was therefore a matter
