A Tax Proposed on Beer, Tea. Patent Med1-
cine and Checks
WASHINGTON. June lO.-The admins
tration realizes thoroughly that more
revenues are needed and must be
raised. 1t is believed to be the purpose
of President Cleveland and Secretary
Carlisle, next December, the one in his
annual message and the other in his
annual report, to outline a revenue bill
which will be intended to meet the de-
ficiencies without touching the tariff.
The law embodies many of the admin
istration's ideas of tariff reform. and it
is not at all likely to recommend any
thing that would increase the tariff
upon any articles of import 1t is the
purpose of Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Car
Isle, so it is stated in high places, to
propose to the next congress that it
impose 81 additional tax on beer, place
a duty on tea, also an internal revenue
tax upon cosmetics and proprietary
medicines, checks and other business
paDer.

lutions in Favor of silver.
SPRINGFIELD, H., June 6.-The demo-
cratic state silver convention adjourned
last night after session in the course
of which there was little dissension.
Resolutions were adopted declaring in
favor of the use of both gold and silver
as the standard money of the United
States at the ratio of 16 to l, without
waiting for the action of any other ma
ton, also indorsing the action of the
democratic state central committee in
calling this convention and instruct
ing the committee to carry out
the will of the convention by
inaugurating campaign of
education and thoroughly organizing
the democracy throughout the state
on the lines laid down in the resolu-
tions. The democratic members of
congress and senators are also instruct
ed to use all honorable means to carry
out the principles enunciated. Reso-
lutions were also adopted in favor of a
national silver convention, to be held
not later than August, and delegates
at-large to such convention, if one
shall be called, were selected.
The preamble and resolution on the
currency subject were as follows:
Whereas. Silver and gold have been the
principal money metals of the world for thou
sands of years. and silver money is recog
nized and used as honest money between in
dividuals and between nations, notwithstand-
ing the varying ratio between silver and
gold; and
Whereas, The characterization Of silver has
deprived the people Of the free use and benefit
of an invaluable and original money metal,
and has increased debts and added to the
burdens of the people by lowering the value Of
labor and labor products; and
Whereas, The constitution OF the United
States prohibits any state from using anything
but gold and silver coin as a legal tender for
the payment Of debts. thereby recognizing that
coin composed Of silver or gold is honest
money and TO be used as legal tender; there
fore, be il
Resolved, By the democrats Of Illinois, in
convention assembled. that we are in favor Of
the use of both gold and silver as the standard
money of the United States, and demand the
free and unlimited coinage Of both metals at
the ratio of Is to l, without waiting for the
action of any other nation, and such coins shall
be a legal tender for all debts, both public and
private, and that all contracts hereafter
executed for the payment of money. whether
in gold, silver or coin, may be discharged by
any money which is by law legal tender.

CRUELTY OF TURKEYS SULTAN
HISTORIAN Christians WIN Be Starved to
Death by Order of the Pagan Ruler.


Death by Order of the Pagan Ruler.
New YORK, June ia Press corre-
spondent. writing from Djulea, Russia.
saws: The Turkish government, it is
claimed, has just taken the prelimi-
nary steps in what may result in q
massacre of HISTORIAN Christians in
the mountains of Kurdistan. 1t is
asserted the government has given
orders to starve the independent tribes
of HISTORIANS in the mountain
region Immediately west of Caviar,
which may be described as laying
about midway between Mosul and
Lake Van. about so miles west of the
Persian frontier. The orders, it is
stated are that no food supplies of any
kind shall be allowed to enter the ter
ritory of the independent tribes, and
that measures are said to have been
taken to enforce these orders to the
letter. This action is apparently
taken as a means of compelling
the independent tribes to sub
init to the Turkish authorities,
and to paw the taxes demanded by the
Turkish government, and is regarded
as the first serious attempt that the
Turks have made TO extort taxes from
the independent tribes The present
course of the government is taken in
some quarters as an indication that
the sultan has set on foot system
attic persecution of Christians in all
parts of the empire.

LOUISVILLE, KY. June 6.-The repub-

ing 5000. The planks adopted on the
currency question and the tariff were
as follows:
We are opposed TO the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. believing it would involve
the country N financial ruin We believe in a
sound currency and in the use Of both gold and
silver for coinage, provided always. that dol
lar in one is made precisely as valuable as
dollar in the other.
We favor tarif so regulated as to protec;
the interests Of all classes OF our citizens upon
articles that may be successfully manufactured
or produced in this country, thus insuring good
wages to the laborer and a home market to the
producer. and in connection with this we favor
the establishment Of the doctrine Of reel
procity. We believe that such a system would
defray every governmental expense. gradually

idence and relegate to the rear the undue ex-
