EFT TU BRUTE.

And now comes the late Henri Watter- son in two-column. double leaded lead CT in the Courier-Journal and repudiates MT. Cleveland. He says the president has been "woeful scurge to democra- cy," and that he (Mr. Cleveland) unfor- tunately possesses no original opinions or information on any economic subject getting everything at second hand and as likely to go wrong as right" that Mir. Cleveland has had his day. full of glory and renown to him and of disaster to his party. What will our amiable friends at Montgomery and Mobile have to say now of this champion of democ- racy? We have had an idea for some time that Henri needed a good, sound, motherly thrashing that would kick him in the middle of the democratc road, but as we are not in the thrashing busi- ness we turn him over to the Advertiser and Register with the assurance that they can't hit lick amiss.

It is a fact well known to the people
 of Birmingham that steel has been sue
 cessfully made from pig iron produced
 in this district It is also known that
 the one enterprise above all others that
 would tend most to secure renewed in-
 terest in the development of this city
 would be well-equipped steel plant.
 The Commercial club, therefore, in the
 report of it's manufacturing committee,
 presented at the last meeting of the club,
 only gave utterance to well known facts
 when stating as strongly as it did the
 advantages of a steel plant to Birming- ham; but when it submitted what ap-
 pears to be practical plan for the build
 ing of that plant 1t did something that
 calls for the strongest possible commen-
 dation alike from press and people. Why
 not build this plant ourselves? There
 are several million dollars worth of idle
 landin and around the city on which tax
 es are being paid, and yet it has no mar
 ket value, nor can any be hoped for un-
 til Birmingham grows. or demand is created for it. A steel plant would un-
 occasionally enhance the value of all property around Birmingham. and with
 liberal subscription of land to start out on there should be no great trouble in getting money subscriptions to build it. Then the plant would become Bir- mingham enterprise, it would be run in
 the interests of Birmingham, and certain ly it is worth the effort to try and carry it into practical operation.
 That we have got to work out our own destiny is apparent to any refecting | mind, and after all that is the surest and l-best way to accomplish what we want. | A great city such as Birmingham un- doubtedly is should stop at nothing that promises to add to her future greatness, and there is really no good reason why Birmingham should not build this plant The ball has been started rolling by the Commercial club. Let him who seeks to | throw cold water over it in any way | be regarded as an enemy and not a friend until fair trial is had. The State Herald believes the suggestion is a good one and worthy of general support

 Richard c. Jones, Esq, president of the State university, in reply to call upon him to become a candidate for gov ernor. says:
 university of Alabama, Dec. 4, 1895.
 "Gditor Times: In yesterday evenings Times there is communication written at Dayton and signed Jackson Demo- crat," suggesting me as a suitable per son for governor of Alabama, and this suggestion you do me the great honor to indorse. Permit me to thank you and my unknown friend in Dayton for esteeming me worthy of the exalted position, but my present occupation is congenial to me in every way, and I have no thought of entering the field of politics. Yours truly, RICHARD c. JONES'"
 No man in the state of Alabama is more deserving of the applause of the people than the eminent president of the State university. He was foremost as member of the bar and was an able sen- ator in the general assembly. His per sonal character has attached to him host of friends all over the state, and the young men who have graduated under his presidency are his enthusiastic ad- mirers. General Jones would wear we'll any honors the people would bestow upon him. If the time should come when he thinks proper to step beyond the academ- ic shades to accept a political office the people of Alabama will hail his decision with delight

A FORGE BuT,.

The St. Louis Globe-Democrat says:
 The Mobile Register thinks the repub- licans will pass a force bill when they come into power in 1897. This bogey may frighten a few people in the gulf states, but it will be laughed at in the rest of the country The failure of the force bill' in the first half of HaITi- sons term, when the republicans had every branch of the government, killed that project eternally. A measure of that sort could not get fifty votes out of the 24i republican members of the pres ent house of representatives It will be still weaker two years hence"
 We hope that the views of the Globe Democrat may prevail and that its pre- diction may come true, but we cannot forget that when the former Reed con gress was in session the force bill of MT. Lodge passed the house by a strict party vote, and that after a long and stubborn fight in the senate it was side tracked only by the vote of the silver state senators, who voted to take up the silver free coinage bill in its place. This was a day or two before the session closed, and the result was that the south was saved from the force bill and all the consequences therefrom by the votes of the silver senators of the west. To say that the republicans will not attempt to repeat their effort to pass force bill again is to say that they never repent or forgive or learn anew. If they should postpone their scheme it will be simply because they hope to win the south by defections over the tariff and the curren- cy questions just as they have so far won the states of Delaware, West Vir- ginia, Kentucky, Maryland and almost Tennessee, North Carolina and Mis- souri. If they resort to none of the old drastic measures of unseating regularly elected southern men, of organizing smelling committees and of surrounding the polls with troops, it will be because they hope the people of the south will themselves turn from the old paths and' like spaniels, kiss the hands of those who smite them.

THE MESSAGE.

Sensible republicans are not growing much now about the result of the next presidential election. They have con- gress on their hands.-New York Mercu- ry, Dem.
 Mr. Cleveland's presentation of the financial problem Is temperate, tolerant and forcible but his recommendations are bold beyond all precedent. He pro- poses nothing less than a revolution in the currency system of the country Springfield Republican.
 The most satisfactory thing about the message is that it contains no advocacy of the issue of wildcat currency by state banks. The president seems to have abandoned completely the unwise and dangerous scheme that he advocated so earnestly one short year ago.-Roches- ter Post-Express.
 Threatened as we are with an outburst of clustering jlngoism under the name of "Americanism" in the congressional de- bates that are about to begin, we may we'll recall what Thomas Jefferson wrote to John Adams: T hope" he said, i've shall prove how much happier for man the Quaker policy is, and that the life of the feeder Is better than that of the fighter" And Jefferson in his time was considered pretty thorough-going American.-Providenee Journal.
 Not only does the president propose no plan of increased revenue, but he infer entially indicates that he doesn't want

- W = A STRANGE ASSERTION.

President Cleveland, in his message, made the very bold statement that the deficiency in revenue, arising from our defective or insufficient tariff, has had no influence in depicting the gold re- serve and that the successive bond is sues were not caused or occasioned; by such deficiency. His language waSr as follows: a .saf .s.,t...s je E
 At no time when bonds have been issued has there been any consideration of the question of paying the expenses of government with their proceeds. There was no necessity to consider that question. At the time of each bond issue we had a safe surplus in the treasury for ordinary operations, exclusive ofithe gold in our reserve. In February, n694, when the first issue of bonds was made, such surplus amounted to over SIS, ,00o,eo0; in November, when the second issuel was made, 1t amounted to more than $42,001.- 900. and in February, 1895. when bonds for the third time were issued, such sur plus amounted to more than $100, 100000. Ii now amounts to l$9S,072, ,420S0." r
 This statement is contradicted by all the facts, as is well known to the people. The New York World sets forth the ref utation of the presidents assertion in the following forcible language:
 But the first bond issue put S5S,000,0 ,000 into the treasury in gold. Not one dollar of that gold could be drawn out except by the turning in of a greenback dollar available for current expenses. Adding s5S. boo, 900 to the $1S,000,000 which the president says was in the treasury at the time of the first bond issue, we have a surplus of SIG, ,000, 900, which should have been there-if revenues had been suffi- cient-at the time of the second bond Issue. Yet the president tells us that at that time the surplus was only $42,O00, ,000

power of It's territorial possessions ou this continent; that this policy is as well founded in principle as it is strongly supported by numerous precedents; that, as a consequence, the United States is bound tohproteSt against the enlargement of the area of British Guiana In deroga- tion of the rights and against the will of Venezuela; that considering the dispar- ity in strength of Great Britain and Ve4- ezuela, the territorial dispute between them can be reasonably settled only by friendly and impartial arbitration, and that the resort to such arbitration should include the whole controversy, and Is not satisfied if one of the powers con- cerned Is permitted to draw an arbitrary line through the territory in dispute and declare that it will submit to arbitration only the portion Tying on one side of 1t.
 ..In view of these conclusions the dis patch in question called upon the British government for a definite answer to this question, whether it would or would not submit the territorial controversy be- tween itself and Venezuela in it's entirety to impartial arbitration. The answer or the British government has not yet been received, but, is expected shortly, when further communication on the subject will probably be made to congress"
 Here" says the. New Orleans Plea yune, 'is a square and clearly defined which Great Britain is bound to make re- ply, and if 1t should so turn out that the British government, despite this protest and warning, shall proceed to despoii the feeble South American republic of its territory and it's rights in violation Of the Monroe doctrine, the burden of main taining or of abandoning the only foreign policy that American statesmanship has ever formulated and asserted will then rest upon congress, and that body will utterly disappoint the expectation ana positive demand of the American peop4e should it abandon this cherished policy.

That is to say, s340O0 900 of the gold re ceived for bonds had been first converted into paper and then used for current ex- penses. There is no4 other explanation possible. I5 auN .1s
 Again. the second bond issue added s5S, 900, 900 in gold-to the cash in the treas ury. Adding this to the $76,000,000 which should have been there if revenues had been adequate, there should have been surplus of $1S4, ,000,000 at the time or the third bond issue. The president tells us that there was in fact only about Sl00 : 000, 900. Again it is apparent that $340Oo- . 900 of the gold received for bonds had been given up for greenbacks and spent to make good deficiencies of revenues.
 "Finally, the third bond issue added more than $6S, 900, 900 in gold to the sur plus If there had been no expenditure of bond proceeds for lack of revenue tnls would have sweled the reserve in the treasury to $202 000, 900, But it amounts in fact only to $9S, S,000,OOo.
 "It is as clear as the multiplication table, therefore. that of the $1S5, OOO borrowed on bonds $104.000,000 has been used for current expenses which would have been paid cout of ordinary receipts if the revenue had not fallen short. It is also clear that but for the bond issues the treasury would now be debtor for current expenses which it could not pay. If the revenues had been adequate gold shippers might perhaps have drawn out the yellow metal as freely as they have done. but for every dollar drawn out there would now be paper dollarin the treasury. That paper dollar is not there It has been spent, for lack of another dollar received as revenue, in payment of the governments bills.
 "Whatever other causes there may have been for the circumstances that compelled these bond issues the made ouacy of the revenues to meet the ex- penses of government has clearly been very potent influence"
Birmingham state herald., 1895-12-08

any. With a complacency and perversity that are simply monumental in the pres ence of actual results he applauds and justifies the existing revenue legislation. His policy reduced to plain terms is, no more revenue, continued borrowing for current expenses, increased debt and the retirement and cancellation of the greenbacks. s.-Philadelphia Press.
 The one and only new policy which the president presents definitely is his scheme for the cancellatio of the green backs and the enlargement of the na- tional debt The somewhat dogmatic spirit in which he insists upon this as the panacea for our financial ills does not afford much assurance of harmoni- ous cooperation between the executive and congress which will be little dis posed to accept the argument that it Is simply to the operations of the gold reserve. that our financial troubles are due---Philadelphia Bulletin.
