WHILE the JOURNAL is stating
the facts in regard to the So 800
deficit in the general revenue of
the county as derived from official
source, the independent is trying
to prove that we are wrong by dis
torting the financial statement of
March Is, 1895. We have given
official authority to substantiate
our claim that when the Democrats
stepped out of power on the first of
the year, the revenue was 50, 2,s61.75
short of the expenditures, after all
the revenue of 1894 had been col
lected. In order to make it tappear
that the deficit is only S632, the
Independent wants to apply all the
revenue up to March Is, 1895, to
the previous year and then further
deduct all the warrants and jury
certificates issued by the new court
at the February term Of the same
year. 1t takes good deal Of nerve
to do that ndoffiguring. We have
the treasurer's figures to prove our
side of the case, which is good
enough authority for us.

Col. G. H. JONES, editor of the
St. Louis ''Post- Dispatch" is to be
ousted from the editorial chair by
the board of directors of the Pulit-
zer Publishing Co.,, which also
publishes the New York ''World.' y
Col. Jones has applied to the
courts for an injunction restrain
ing the board from interfering
in his management of the paper.
The trouble was caused by Col.
Jones radical views on the free
coinage question, which are alto
gether out of harmony with those
of the New York end Of the con-
Germ. The "World'' took the Col
onel to task editorially and ikened
him unto "a wild ass COLT" but
he still persists in his course, and
the board of directors is, therefore,
trying to oust him permanently.
The matter has, as yet, not been
definitely settled, but should the
policy Of the Post-Dispatch be
changed, the free silver movement
in Missouri will lose one Of its
strongest supports.

WE don't expect the editor of the
''Independent' to acknowledge that
the late county court left a deficit
in the county treasury amounting
to nearly $4,000, but we have
forced him into making two admis-
sions and an excuse. He admits
that there is a deficit Of S632, and
he also admits that those two big
warrants left by the old court, and
which amount to 81, $50, are still
upaid. As there is discrepancy
of nearly a thousand dollars be-
tween the two admissions, the relia-
bility of his figures may be conject-
ured. He states that those two
warrants have not been paid be-
cause the holders thereof are salts
fed with the interest they are draw
ing. The truth of the matter is,
however, there is no money in the
treasury to pay them. 1.-THE money
was there, those warrants would be
called in and the interest stopped.
All warrants are paid off in rota-
ton according to the number by
which they are registered at the
treasurer's Office, and soon as rev.
enue accrues with which to redeem
q particular warrant, it is called in
and the interest cut off.
As an excuse for the acknowl-
edged deficit, the ''Independent'
says that it was partly caused by
the construction of the new Jail.
Now every taxpayer in the county
knows that the new Jail is being
paid for by an extra levy, and that
the Jail fund has no connection with
the general revenue fund. Oul
contemporary is getting ratified.

SENATOR GoRMAN says that the
tariff as reformed by the last ses-
sion of congress has resulted in
increasing the wages of more peo-
pie than any law previously placed
upon the statutes, but he was care
full not to say anything about the
reductions in wages caused by
Democratic tariff reform. The
Wilson, -Gorman tariff law reduced
the wages Of more American en-
ployes, and reduced them lower,
than any law ever enacted by our
congress. The new law caused
wagEs to be reduced all the way
from 20 to SO per cent, and in not
a single instance can our Democrat
ic friends point out case where
they have succeeded in raising
wages to a point where they were
during the last years OF Republl-
can administration. There is alb
solutcly nothing that can be said in
favor of the tariff law that Senator
<Gormsn helped to frame. 1t has
succeeded in nothing but bringing
destitution and misery upon the
most prosperous people the sun
ever shown upon. Those people
are now slowly recovering from
the blow of tariff reform, not be-
cause of the reform, but because
they have put the reforlners out OF
their path and have taken hand
in managing the government, and
when the tariff is reformed again ii
will be in favor of the American
people.

Banking on Wind.

The gold surplus still goes down
and the administration is still bank
ing on the balance Of trade we are
soon to have in our favor in ''the
markets of the world" about which
so much was said in the last cam
paign. But there is little indication
that there will be any early change
in the balance sufficient to over
come the flood of imports for which
the ports were opened by the Cor
man tariff law.
From the very first the Dem
ocratic press has been promising
something good that was but just
ahead. The bright prospect held
out was the tremendous bound that
was to be given to business by the
repeal Of the Sherman silver law.
The country has the most painful
recollection of the result that real.
ly followed that piece of legisla-
ton.
Then the new tariff was to instil]
an amount of confidence into the en-
tire money using world that would
surely restore every crippled in
dustry and bring a boom to trade.
1t is unnecessary to speak of the
depths of disappointment and dis
tress that followed that.
And so it has been with every
other promise made on the assur
ances of the misft aggregation of
alleged statesman installed in the
executive departments at Wash
ington.
The revenues of the government
continue to be insufficient to pay the
running expenses. Thcsurplus dim
inishes with unvarying regularity
and the gold reserve, though liber-
ally contributed to by the money
dealers, in way of temporary de-
posits, has gone below the establish
ed safety limit long before the expi.
ration of the Morgan Rothschilc
prOtectOrate.
But the country is asked to believe
that as soon as the wheat and cot.

The Democratic Deficits.
fFox THE OF ODE DEMOCRAT.

sR0N THE GLOBE DEMOCRAT
1t is gratifying to all classes Of
citizens, Of course, to know that
the Treasury deficits are growing
smaller. This indicates an i'm
proved general condition of
things, and gives at least a tempor-
ary and qualified sense Of relief.
But the fact remains that these
monthly deficits have become reg
ular feature Of the management of
our fiscal affairs, and that the time
when they may be expected to
cease is still the indefinite future.
1t is not merely that the receipts
are less than than the expenditures,
which is bad enough in itself; but
this unfortunate shortage is accom-
panied by other embarrassments
which would not be present if the
income cqualed the outgo. The
Treasury gold reserve is now being
maintained by artificial means, and
the syndicate which has been
hired to do what the administration
could not do is making frequent
deposits to avert the necessity for
another sale of bonds. To be
sure, experts have way of attrib-
uting the difficulty to other causes,
such as the endless chain process
Of the redemption of grcenbacks;
but the simple truth is that the de-
ficits are the main source of trouble,
and if they could be stopped, it
would be easy to adjust all the rest
of our financial disorders.
Now and then an administration
organ is candid enough to admit
that this is correct view, and that
the technical explanations are mere
sophistry and misrepresentation
The New York Evening Post, y
for instance, in a burst of unac-
cnstomed fairness, says that ''it
the revenue Of the Government
rose above its expenditures, We
should have no currency difficulty
of a pressing nature" That is tC
say if the Government could pay
its bill promptly out Of its daily re-
ceipts, there would be no serious
ENHANCEMENT of our finances and
no occasion to enlist the services OF
a combination of bankers to prol
the Treasury and protect the pub.
lie credit. The Democrats have
had full control of the Govern.
ment, with the power to pass any
law they pleased and to impose taxes
to any desired extent; but they
haved failed to use this power il
such a way as to provide sufficient
revenue and to prevent financial
misfortunes. They enacted a tariff
law which was intended to furnish
as much money as was needed tc
meet all legimate demands, but
which has fallen miserably short OF
its purpose. In time of profound
peace, the richest country in the
world has been compelledonaccount
of his blunderlng policy to add te
its bonded debt twice as much a:
the cost of the Mexican war OF
the war of 1912. A monthly de
ficit has been substituted for the
monthly surplus that attended Re

turbed the even tenor of the opera.
