FOREIGN COAL FOR WARSHIPS.

Although American Coal Is Satisfactorily
Used on Merchantmen.
British coal, mined by Chinese labor,
has been purchased for the use of Amer.
ican warships ON the Pacific coast, in.
stead of American coal, and since the
exposure an apology has emanated from
Washington where "tho naval engineers
believe that they have found q suitable
GOAL for the marine furnaces Of steamers
In the Pacific" They have certainly
beenlx- long time .discoyerin2 it.
The owners "of steamers in the Pa
cifo" have-and this may be news ''to
the naval engineers a great num-
Der of years been using Franklin and
Fairhaven coal, mined in Washington,
with every degree of satisfaction and
success. The steamship owners were pa
triotic enough to be satisfied with Amer
ican coal, mined by American miners in
American mines. They had no com.
plants to make 'that it burned out the
furnaces and caused dense black smoke.
This was left for "the naval engineers"
to do. We arc sorry for the British coal
mine owners and for their ''Chinese la.
borers;" but, though long delayed, this
symptom of reform in the United States
naval department will be welcomed by
Americans who have American inter.
ests at heart.

Senator Allison's Opportunity.

Senator, Allison believes the best men
of both parties should unite on some
plan of relief for the government finan-
ces at once. He takes the ground that
he owes his highest allegiance to his
country. Senator Allison is first class
republican, Chicago Tribune.
Why can't the men OF all parties in
congress unite on plan of relief through
the establishment of postal savings
banks? There are now about three bill
lions deposited in savings banks and
state institutions for savings. Why can't
these deposits be placed at the disposal
of the government, thus giving the COM
mon people, and especially the wage
workers, an opportunity to become cred
itors Of the nation instead of leaving the
entire debt in the hands of foreign and
American capitalistss Suppose that
only one-third of the savings banks de-
posits were placed in the postal banks.
That would give the government an
opportunity to accumulate gold for its
reserve and to decrease the drain of gold
for interest on bonds and redemption of
greenbacks. Postal savings certificates
bearing per cent interest for one-year
time deposits, 2H for six months depos-
its and per cent for call deposits would
circulate everywhere the same as money.
The holders of these certificates would
be willing to accept paper, silver or gold
for interest and principal. The bond
holder wants gold and gold only. The
main object of the SlOO,OOO,OOO gold
reserve in the treasury is to redeem the
greenbacks, and the demand for the
destruction of the greenbacks is inspired
by fear that the treasury will not be able
to redeem them in gold. This danger
can be avoided by using the greenbacks
as a reserve for the postal savings de-
posits.
This plan of relief has worked very
satisfactorily in England and France,
where the greater part of the public
debt is carried by the middle class and
the wage worker. Why will it not work
in the United States? Why not give it
trial anyhow! Here is a chance for
Senator Allison to popularize himself
and save the country from financial dis
aster.-IOmaha Bee.
The people are the sovereigns, and if
their hired men will provide the oppor-
tunity to show their confidence in right
principles of finance and in the stability
of republican institutions, they will find
a response that will be surprising. Give
the many thousands who work for their
living, and who have few dollars extra,
occasionally, that they would like to in
vest in a perfectly safe manner, some
such plan as that outlined, and they
would certainly take advantage of it.
The Columbus journal., 1895-01-30


The republican who votes for the re-
tirement of the greenbacks may az well
retire from public life," says Congress
man Hepburn of Iowa. "The green
backs were all right during the war.
used to love to see them on pay day, and
many a soldier looked lovingly upon
them when the paymaster came around.
They were sent home to our wives, and
they purchased food and clothing for the
children. They always looked we'll to
me, and they have always looked we'll to
our people until the recent democratic
cry was raised concerning an alleged
necessity for changing our financial sys-
tenn. The greenbacks are all right. Our
financial system is all right. The demo-
cratic party is all wrong. Twill not per-
nit myself to fall into their traps"
''How would you relieve the treasury"
"Many ways" responded the Iowan.
I'm the first place, if were secretary of
the treasury would not pay out gold to
the money sharks. If any honest man
came there and wanted 800 or $500, or
$1,000 in gold, would redeem his paper
with gold. But when any man came
with demand for the redemption of
s5OO,OOO or sl,OOOOOO or more, would
tell him that he was public enemy, and
l would pay him, according to the law,
in coin.' Iwonld give him silver and
keep the gold. This administration is
constantly depicting the treasury of its
gold, and there is no necessity for it.
The Cleveland administration appears to
be in league with Wall street, or else
this drainage of gold from the treasury
would not be allowed"

EVERY item in regard to the prob.
ability Of bringing the Scott murderers
in Holt county to punishment is read
with interest by Nebraskans. The
O'Neill Frontier has this in regard to
their chief executive officer:
Sheriff Hamilton is being severely
censured for the manner in which he
allows the Jail to be conducted. Al
though requested by the states attorney
to permit no one to talk with the
prisoners he allows their friends and
suspects the freedom of the Jail. No
one can be convicted so long as this
kind of business is permitted. But yes
terday a party who is suspicioned of
being implicated in the murder was seen
to hold long consultation in the Hop
kins rendezvous and few moments
later was seen in company with the
deputy sheriff on his way to the Jail.
When the prosecution is forced to labor
against odds like these it is certainly up
hill work."

ALL reports from England indicate
that the money kings of that island
would like to keep the United States on
their financial string, just as they have
been doing, We issuing our bonds, bor-
rowing large sums, and placing our
loans in England and sending them our
gold to keep up interest payments, thus
increasing our national debt, at the same
time that We are weakening our ability
to pay, by what seems now to be the
settled and constant policy of the
present administration - catering to
English interests on financial and CON-
mercial questions, in short a tying to
the single gold-standard in finance, and
free trade, instead of protection, for our
commerce. President Cleveland is as
unpatriotic as was President Buchanan
when he played into the hands of the
men who were plotting treason all
around him. In a different way, to be
sure, but all the more effectually be-
cause not SO apparent to every one.
BY tariff policy that is putting US in
debt at the rate of 100000, 600 a year at
the least, and financial policy, dictated
by England, that discredits one of our
very greatest productions, viz silver,
time out of mind, along with gold, re-
cognized as medium of exchange since
men began to be civilized), thus de-
,reasing ability to pay debts, and in
the burdens of business, our
slide downward is at a fearful pace.
Restore the landmarks of our fathers all |
around, and let us get rid, just as fast as |
We come to them, of all officials, high or |
ow, who are tied to free trade or to op-
position to silver as one of the two equal |
standards of our financial system.

CLAY county has come to the front and

have appropriated $1,000 to be used to
help those unable to buy seed grain and
feed for their teams. The money will
be distributed to the townships in pro-
portion to their assessed valuation and
paid ont under the supervision of the
township officers. Those receiving it
will be allowed to pay it back in work on
the roads. The question of the legality
of such a proceeding was discussed at
length, and it is understood some men,
bers will file written protest against its
payment. Others propose, if this proves

the consumer to . price that leaves .
very narrow margin of profit to our pro-
ducer, and which has checked to q very
great extent the importation of the for.
eign article and caused the shutting
down Of the foreign factories.
The reduction on tin plate under the
German tariff was made, as is well
known, at the instance and for the BEN
eft Of the tin plate manufacturers in
Wales and for the English transatlantic
transportation companies. The existing
rate Of duty is not SO low as these for
eign friends Of the present free trade
administration had anticipated and does
not give them such absolute control Of
the American tin plato market as they
had hoped for.
It would appear, therefore, that the
American transcontinental railroad
companies have been called upon to
contribute their mite in support Of this
element of foreign trade by giving to
foreign tin plate freight rate that dis
eliminates against American made tin
plate in reaching the consuming mar
ket. Adding this concession by the rail-
roads to the concession made by the
German tariff bill, the Welsh manufac-
turers secure double advantage over the
American tin plate makers, an advan-
tage that may secure for them absolute
control of our tin plate trade.
Il is not stated in the report of the
Association of Tin Plate Manufacturers
what railroads quote this particularly
low rate Of freight on the foreign tin
plate, while charging higher freight
rate ON the American article. This is .
point that we should like to know. That
it is done, however, does not surprise us
80 very much when we recollect that
large blocks of stock in certain Amer
loan railroad companies are held and
by English capitalists, which,
therefore, would naturally seek to serve
English manufacturing interests. This
is subject of much deeper significance
than appears at first sight, and one that
will bear further investigation.

THE O'Neill Frontier says that the
circumstances Of findin. the body of the
murdered Scott seemed almost provi-
dential-the channel OF the river changed
the very night that he was thrown in
and left him in backwater, otherwise he
probably would have foated to the Mis-
souri,. Judging from the editorials of
the Frontier, the state of feeling be-
tween opposing parties in Holt county
is very bitter, and it would not be at all
il there should be more
bloodshed by mob violence, before the
spirit of discord and wrath is quieted.
Violence is apt to beget violence in re-
turn, and the killing of Scott seems as
an incident only in the career of an or
ganized society of law-breakers Or
ganized ostensibly for the enforcement
of law.

STATE SENATOR PoPK has introduced a
bill to repeal the depository law, claim
ing that half a million dollars have been
lost by reason of it. Saunders was one
of the counties he named, but it appears
that Saunders county gained 5000 a
year in interest on public funds. There
is no reason that We can see why the law
should be changed. It is like all other
laws, in that it will not enforce itself:
but, if rightly enforced. it is all right.
We have always believed that Governor
Crounse acted too hastily in approving
MOsher's bond-hence the trouble.
