WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. TO-
Senator Ransom saws it is the
duty of the democrats in the sen
ate to get together and do some
thing to relieve the financial situa-
tion.
Senator Jarvis says a caucus of
the senate and house ought to have
been called before adjournment to
decide on some measure calculated
to settle the financial difficulties
which confront the party.
Hon. John 5. Henderson says
he will vote for no measure which
does not contain the state banking
feature. All the other members of
our delegation express the same
view Of any currency bill.
Memorial services in honor OF
Senator Vance will be held in the
senate next Saturday. February
Q similar services will be held in
the house Of representatives. Mr..
Henderson will have charge Of the
exercises. Every member Of our
delegation will speak.
Early this week Mr.. Springer
intends to introduce a currency
bill differing somewhat from its
predecessors. Nobody seems to
think there viii be any financial
legislation this session Of congress.
This makes an extra session almost
certainty. Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr.. Carlisle haye done and are still
doing their best to avert this. but
some of the democrats in congress
are not amendable to reason. The
party has TO suffer for their stub
bcrnness and ignorance,

One of the judges Of the Kansaf
supreme court asked the New
York Sun the following question:
How much is annually paid tc
citizens of foreign countries for in
terest, dividends, rents and profits
on investment in the United
States? viii the public interest
be bsst promoted by an increase OF
reduction of this annual payment?
How would you bring about the
change you tavor2
In reply the Sun has this to
say:
We don't know and We don't
care particularly. The only change
We would wish for would be to
pay all our debts in full just as
soon as we have promised to pay
them. The great thing is to keep
our engagements; and, if we have
made any silly ones, question on
which we do not now express any
opinion, to take care and not com.
nit the same foolishness again.
No cheating for rs.
What our contemporary says
about paying debts in full when
they are due, and keeping our en-
gagements, is all right but when
the creditor classes indulge in this
sort of talk they know that under
our present financial system they
in reality collect more than is due
them. Under the gold standard
the purchasing power of a dollar
is constantly increasing, and when
We pay debt contracted a few
years ago We practically pay twice
as much as We owe.
But the debtor classes are crush
ed by the oppressive system which
doubles the amount of their in.
drbtedness and makes it more
difficult for them to keep their en-
gagements to the letter. 1t is
just as wrong to discriminate
against debtors as il would be to
discriminate against creditors
Both classes have rights that
should be respected and if either
class is entitled to more considera
ton it is the debtors, because 81
per cent Of the worlds business i
done on credit, and is the height
Of injustice to legislate in the in
terest Of the remaining 10 PEI
cent and the creditors. ..
There should he no room H.
this country for a financial system
which doubles the value Of tht
gold dollar, and thus doubles the
burden Of every honest poor mans
debt.
