HONEST MONEY.

The financial question is the all ab-
sorbing one in Washington City, and
to formulate some plan by which the
treasury may retain its gold is . prob
lem that congressman are trying to
solve. With the change Of the ad-
ministration it was expected that an
innovation would be made in the fnan-
cial policy that had been followed BY
Republicans While Democrats during
the canvas of 1892, freely gave their
opinion that the tariff laws should be
abolished they also held out hopes. and
strongly expressed them in speeches,
that the country would again return
to the silver standard that was in OPP
Grafton before 1873. On this latter
point the Chicago platform was enig-
matical; but Democratic orators at
tempted to interpre. it in favor of
unIimited coinage of silver, and held
that aa ons important reason that
Republicans should be supplanted in
the administration of national affairs
by members of their own party. When
the change took place it was found
that the president was in favor of q
sound and solid currency, and could
not be bent to the will of silver-sided
Democracy. During the two years
that Democrats have been in
power no silver leglslgtion has
been attempted, and no effort has been
made to change the monetary system
which had been successfully carried
out by Mr.. Harrison and his pred
ecesors. The threat vas sufficient to
shake pnblic confidence at home and
abroad, and for the past two years the
sountry has suffered the worst 6nan-
cial straitstbat it has for long time.
A nation is very much like an individ.
ual in financial matters, and the loss of
confidence is equally as disastrous to
the one as to the other Debts cam OF
be paid by the one nor the other in
promises or paper, and when the time
for redemption comes the coin must be
f,rthcoming or there will be bank
ruptcy or reputation.
In this emergency political parties
should work in harmony for the estab-
lishment of the public credit. 1t
should be made known that the United
States intends to pay its debts In the
honest coin of the commercial world,
and that there is not the least danger
of any reputation of them by the
adoption of the silver standard.
This country can NO more control
the monetary standard of the world
than it can originate new code of in
law. l. is very foolish to
anything of the kind, and the
most disastrous consequences will
surely follow. This craze after silver
is simply q notion that has
come into existence since the
business depression of the past two
7ears, and, men rendered desperate by |
financial stringency, are grasping at
travis to save themselves from the
vhirlpools that threaten to engulf
hem.

A 400 PER CENT IMPORT BOUNTY

A 400 PDR GENT IMPORT BOUNTY,
II the Cleveland debt of 5000, ,OOO, 900 was
created In the interest OF reducing tn.
tariff, or, in other words, causing larger
imports of foreign goods, 1t Is well to
look at what has been accomplished in
the proposed direction.
We think that this is/a fair statement
Of the purpose of the Cleveland debt.
There was once some talk of the Cleve-
land tariff measures, of which the debt Is
an adjunct. being intended to increase
exports. Since the round up at the end
Of the fiscal year showed that the oppo-
site had been accomplished by a balance
OF some $50 100000, there hasn't been a
peep from Cleveland quarters about the
markets of the world" There has not
been a denser silence concerning the
markets OF the moon.
If, therefore we conceive the Cleve-
land debt as created so.ely to increase
imports. and thereby benefit, which Is
granted only for the sake Of argument,
American consumers at the expense OF
American producers, we find that the
country Is paying a bounty of pretty
nearly 81 Of debt for 81 of imports.
For the debt is. as we have sald $500.
100000. The increase in imports for 1895
over 1894 is $76, ,963, 1853.
The poCicy of an export bounty is abb
horrent to the free trader. At the same
time all the free traders in the country
are lauding a policy which imposes an
import bounty. and 400 per cent import
bounty at that. The sort OF an economic
tangle that a stout and stubborn gentle
man-sufflcient main strength and ignor-
ance glven-can get party into is amaz-
ing.-New York Press.

SENATOR BRIoG AND THE FARMER


The Republican, Wauseon, Ohio.
Senator Brice is understood to be can
didate for reelection II the Democracy
eject the legislature His reckless action
in voting against the retention of even
a low duty on wool shows that ne has
no regard for the farmers Interests. SEN
ators Sherman and Hoar and other Re-
publicans endeavored to secure the re-
tention of duty on that article but Mr..
Brlce opposed it. The hrst proposition
of the Republicans was for the same duty
as the Mckinley bill. This was rejected,
the Populists voting with the Democrats.
A proposition for a duty one-third less
than that of the Mckinney law was voted
down. Then one-haf the Old duty was
asked for but was rejected, on this pro-
position the Popuists united with the
Republicans. Had Mr.. Brice supported
this 1t would have been a tie. Senator
Sherman wishing to save that great inter-
est, offered an amendment for 40 per cent
duty, but this was defeated.
Mr. Sherman then asked for 30 per cent
protection and appealed to the Demo-
cratic members to give the farmers the
benefit Of that. as the Walker tariff OF
1916, the pride and boast of their party.
allowed that duty on wool His appeal
was unheeded-Mr Brce opposing. The
bill was considered in committee OF the
whole in July, and a final vote was to
be taken and Mr.. Sherman made another
effort for the farmer. He appealed 10
the senator's to put duty of 30 per cent
on wool. and said that II wooden Goth
was to receive the benefl; of protection
wool should, In fairness, be allowed
like treatment. Mr.. Hoar, Republican
senator OF Massachusetts, in behalf OF the
manufacturers, denounced the placing OF
wool on the free list and referred to the
statement OF Mr. Brlce, who had said
that the New England senator's had con-
trlved to get wool on the free list, and
denounced such statements as absurd
Those who were responsible for free wool
were Brlce and his Democratic friends
He challenged Mr., Brlcc TO come with
single Democrat to the rescue of Mr.,
Sherman's amendment, and with the
sold Republican vote and the support OF
the Popu.lsts, wool would receive some
protection. Brlce refused and thus that
great interest was sacrificed Ohio, which
Mr., Brice pretends to represent, had In
1893, iS7S,72S sheep, valued at $lS, 900, 1888,
being more than double the value of those
OF any other state, Although Mr.. Cieve-
land was opposed to protecting WOOL stlll
Mr. Brice could have secured duty on
that article. He was Of the German
combine and the only one who represent
ed great wool growing state. AS the
Gorman-Brlce combine changed the Will
son bill, by securing protection on articles
which were on the free list, it Is a fair
Inference that wool could have been pro-
tected a.so II Mr. Brlce had 80 desired.
No JaekSon-RandaG Democrat or friend
OF American industries can consistently
vote for member OF the general assem-
by who favors Mr., Brlce as senator.

THE ENCOURAGING ASPECT OF THE
SILVER QUESTION

Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Charles s,
FalrchGd, In the October Forum.
The present situation OF the silver uues-
tion In the United States Is such as shou a
encourage those who are known as
sound money" men as distinguished
from the advocates OF the free coinage
OF silver by this government at the ratio
OF sixteen ounces OF silver to one of
gold, Upon looking over the who,e field
It is apparent that there are no more
advocates Of the free silver policy than
there We're year ago; but those who are
opposed to that policy are far more
outspoken now than then; and that men
who seek the favor Of the public in
many OF the regions where free silver
has been strong are finding courage to
take the other side, thus indicating In
which direction the popular straws, which
they see, are beginning to be blown. A
sthl better sign is the greater intelll-
gence OF men In those regions where men
have been In favor Of sound money rather
by association and instinct than because
they were convinced OF It's truth through
processes OF reasoning, Where there was
one man able and ready to give reasons
Tor this faith there are now ten. The
fierce onslaught that the free coinage in
tcrests made in the latter part OF 1894
and in the early part OF 1896 undoubtedly
contributed to the better condition that
now prevails, for 1t stirred mems minds
and evolved much original research and
thought upon the currency question. and
this notably In the region most affected
by the free coinage sentiment. Even that
much-read, specious and apparently
dangerous publication, COINS Finanelnl
school," has contributed largely 70 the
evident setback that the doctrines II was

THE CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.

The American Economist says 1t Is
amusing to observe the readiness with
which the free trade papers ascribe the
present partial prosperity to the German
tariff. These same journals denounced
that measure when 1t passed; declared
Senators German and Brlce to be traitors
and upheld President Cleveland in con-
demnlng the bill and In his refusal to
sign It.
The Claims made for the German tariff
are delusive. II was preceded by period
Of business depression that followed
quickly the free trade success in 1892
which the free trade press proclaimed
Justify as a decisive victory for their
policy. The suspense created by the oc-
cult methods adopted in framing the Will
son bill, and by the long debate which
followed, increasing the prevailing de-
preston. Then came the tardy amend
ment OF the bill In the senate. and an
the pickering which the course of the
Democratic majority produced.
People felt some relieved when the bill
became law. in August. 1894, because
they knew the worst, but there was no
change for the better in business. Gloom
still. hung over the country. Factories
remained idle. Labor was unemployed.
Stocks and bonds, which are such good
indicators Of the state of trade and in
dustry, did not enhance in value. Nor
did produce rise in price, The European
demand was du,i. The general outlook
was dlscouraging in the extreme.
The German tariff went into effect,
for the most part, in September. but the
depression continued. 1t was not until
the great popular uprising at the cleo
tions Of November, 1894. that confidence
began to return. When the full measure
Of that victory was understood. the coun-
try shook off the torpor which had re-
strained Its energies. People felt that
the Populist craze had received a fatal
blow; that tariff tinkering in the inter-
est OF free trade was checked effectually;
and that our finances would soon be in
safe hands. Nothing further vas heard
Df the threats to amend the tariff stir
more in the interest OF free raw mate
rials." at the short session of 1S9l.95,
The improved conditions resulting from
al this enabled the Belmont-Morgan
syndicate to purchase the s62,OO0,O0O bond
issue with the fullest confidence. The
conviction became strong that the Re
publican victory OF 1894 presages decisive
success in 1885, Despite The pernicious
influence OF the German tariff, manufac-
turers began TO take courage. Merchants
commenced to renew their depleted
stocks Railroad earnings increased anu
the stock exchange soon felt the influence
or revivlng prosperity. Many factories
were run again on full time. The busy
hum OF toll was heard once more at the
iron furnaces and rolling mills Of the
North and South. The gloom in great
measure had passed away The prospect
OF abundant crops vita better prices for
produce did the rest.
Al these matters are recent and are
known TO careful observers It Is well,
however, TO recall them, so that the pub
lie man not be misied by the audaclous
assertions that viii brazenly re-echo in
party platforms during the coming fan.
