OrTWTTTTNG THE RUSSIAN CENSOR

How the Russian Press Censor and his backing

spondent OF THE Record" The paragraph which

first issue of these small notes was
made in 1868, and of the scent notes
then put forth nearly one-half-more

The same thing is true of 80 per cent.
of the 10-cent notes, 20 per cent. of the
25-cent. notes and IL per cent. of the
5O-cent notes. 1t is shown by the fig
ured treasury total that of the $50, OOO,-
900 worth of these little notes first
issued more than $4,000, 900 still remains
outstanding, and it will probably never
be presented for redemption.
While the government gains by rea-
son of the losses sustained by individ-
uals in the destruction of paper money,
the treasury is slightly depleted by the
wearing away of gold coin. Every
gold piece is of course alloyed, for, as is
well known, gold is such a soft metal
that it could not be used for money
without amalgamation with baser met
ais. The gold in the vaults of the
treasury department lies untouched for
months, and some of it for years, en-
cased in small canvas bags. With
every change of national administra-
ton n new treasurer is appointed, and
then every dollar is counted, so that
the outgoing treasurer can receive re-
oeipts from his successor showing that
his accounts are correct. 1t is singu-
lar and commendable fact that treas
urers of the United States have been
exceptionally honest and capable. On
one occasion, in 1885, when the treasury
cash was counted, three pennies were
missing in a sum total of hundreds of
millions of dollars. These pennies were
found on the floor of one of
the vaults. They had fallen out of an
old and WORKOUT canvas bag. Although
the coin is seldom handled, the govern
ment loses something every time by the
friction of the gold, but the loss is
almost infinitesimal. as compared with
the gains which are made on the issues
of paper money. SMITH ID. FRY.

this way by false affidavits, but the de-
partment believes that it has always
discovered them. Such triclxery is
rather discouraging to the officials
when the government means to be hon.
est; but the work of the experts is al
WAYS conscientious and earnest in the
efforts to save the people from losses by
misfortune.
During the civil war the government
issued S447 200, 600 in small notes. They
were for 3, 3, 10, -, % and 80 cents each,
and were commonly called ''shinplas-
tiers" in those days. The records of the
treasury department show that more
than 100000 of this currency was
never sent to the treasury for redemp-
ton, and Uncle Sam was just that much
ahead in the transaction. 1t is pre-
sumed that nearly all of it was destroyed
in various ways during the war.
1t is estimated that the government
gains little over per cent. on all of
its issues of paper currency by contrac-
ton in various ways. The stoves of
the country play an important part,
but there is a great deal of money in
paper boarded every year by persons
who die without revealing its where
abouts and much of it is never found.
Sums in this shape are often dug mp on
the persons of corpses exhumed for
other purposes. Not long ago the body
of murdered man was discovered in
the woods near an Ohio town badly. de-
composed and with pocketbook filled
with greenbacks. The latter were sent
to the treasury here for redemption.
which did not prove in this instance a
pleasant task for the experts in the re-
demption division. Nearly all of them

The Same Thing Over.

1t has always been the same. Tariff
reform, as understood by the demo-
cratic party, means American markets
flooded with fOreign-made goods;
American workmen out of employ
ment and the United States treasury
bankrupted. Turn back forty years,
to the time of James Buchanan, read
the accounts of the distress which then
prevailed, and you will be convinced
of this, if you are not already con-
vinced. We are likened TO the dog, in
the picture, crossing the stream and
seeing the reflection of the bone in his
mouth in the water below. To gain
the chimerical market of the world,
where we sell not one per cent of our
productS-not one-tenth OF one per
cent.-we have been willing to let go

sell practically all that we produce.

ABOUT THE TARIFF.
Democratic DIsmay Over the Prosperity
Return of Protection.

Return of Protection.
The democratic papers are making .
terrible to-do because, at the opening
of the Ohio campaign, the speakers,
from Senator Sherman down, favored
restoration of the protective policy.
They are raising as much of a howl
over it as though it were a new thing:
But they seem TO overlook the fact that
the republican state platform demands
it equally; that every republican plat
form, anywhere in the union, adopted
this year, demands it; and that the
republican party has been the party
of protection ever since il was par
ty Its national platform of 1850 de
manded protection to American indus
tries
This mimicry of extreme surprise Is
part of the absurd and impertinent at
tempt to swindle the American people
into the belief that the present tariff
law is to be credited with the partial
restoration of prosperity we are now
experiencing. Here in Ohio alone
there are thousands upon thousands of
democratic workingmen who know,
from bitter experience, that wages I'M
der a democratic tariff are not as high
as they were under republican protec-
ton in 1891 and 1892. There may be
some who are getting as much now as
then, but everyone knows that the adj
vances in wages during the present
year have not brought them up to the
republican level
Ask these men whether they favor
republican protection and the result

and 1892. and you will find them all

they understand the situation fully

They have learned thoroughly the lss-

Low duties mean increased imports

That every dollars worth of such

That this means less work for Ame,-

That a low tariff opens the doors to

The reason for the recent exDo-ta-

A year ago the balance of trade was
in favor of the United States, exporta-

Now conditions are reversed, and CT
portations have shrunk and importsI-
tions expanded until the excess OF ca
pOrtatious has disappeared and been
suPplanted by an excess of importa-
tionS.
1t is in settlement of an adverse bal
ance of trade that gold is going out.
Here is the comparison of exporta-
tions and importations of merchandise
during the eight months of 1895, to
September l, with the showing of the
corresponding eight months of 1894,
which explains the entire matter.

During these months of 1894, the bal

States was S64, rs. 900, while during the
corresponding eight months of 1895 the
balance of trade against this country
was $50, 5O6, OOO-a change for the worse

the extent of SOL, 2s4, 900.
Gold is going out because the balance
of trade is against the United States
and because this adverse balance is not

CHAPTER VIII

For six weeks things went on from
bad to worse at the Whitford house
for, though Dodd no longer annoyed
Elsie with his loathsome attentions, it
was apparent that his hold on the old
people was daily becoming stronger,
and she felt that it was only a question
of time when the renewal of the
trouble would come; so every waking
hour was full of anticipated misery.
Thus the weary days dragged on.
As thespring advanced into summer,
which it does with a rush in this re-
gion, the unhappy girls only recrea-
tion was to indulge. as Grey had done,
in long, solitary. moody walks. not alto
gether wholesome for one so young
and naturally cheerful.
On such a ramble, one Saturday aft
ernoon, she had sought the retirement
of a pleasant valley. in the midst of
which was an abandoned mine. whose
treacherous shafts were dangerous to
strangers, but to her possessed no peril.
Tired-ah, she soon got tired now
she sat down on big bowlder behind
a projecting rock-a favorite. lonesome
