sENATOR MILLs CURRENCY BILL.

Senator Mills, cf Texas, has a new
currency bill. We have not seen the
bill, but understand it provides for the
coinage of the silver bullion in the
treasury into fractional coin, and di.
rects the Secretary of the Treasury to
redeem treasury notes in silver when
ever the gold reserve is below $780,
100000. 1t also provides for the issue
of treasury notes to meet any deficiency
In the revenues. Senator Mills says
can individual never pays interest
when he can get money without it, and
the government should employ the
same business principle"
OF course we can form no just esti.
mate of the bill without seeing 1t; but
judging from the criticisms we have
seen, it contains some good features
and some bad ones. 1t is very sensible
to direct the Secretary Of the Treasury
to pay out silver as well as gold, In
stead of borrowing gold and issuing
interest bearing bonds for 1t; and it is
very sensible to direct the issuance Of
The advocate., 1895-12-11

treasury notes to meet treasury def
ciencies; but what is the sense of keep
ing that hundred millions of gold lying
idle in the treasury for all eternityp
However, nobody need expect this bill
to become a law. Wall street Is on
guard, and no law will be passed for
the coinage of any more silver, for the
issuance of any more treasury notes or
to compel the redemption of those now
in existence in anything but gold under
any circumstances. Watch and see.

The Republican is undoubtedly cor

very likely vote together under Wall
street dictstion as they did for the re-
peal of the Sherman law, and that will
give POpullStS no opportunity to use
the balance Of power to defeat any in

IT has been a couple of years now

SIGNS MIGHT BE MORE HOPEFUL.

The Atchison Champion Of Decem-
Der 4, commenting upon the Presi.
dents message, observes:
1t is hopeful sign that the President does
not now assume that free trade is panacea
for our national Ills.
The signs Of the times would be still
more hopeful If there were not so many
fools who apparently credit the hypo-
critical pretensions of political dema
gogues that a protectiUs duty on
imports is a panacea for both national
and individual ills.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

IhE PhES1DENTS MESSAGE,
The annual message of the President
is more remarkable for what it does
not say than for what it does. "Tariff
Tor revenue only" which has for years
been the chief Democratic bBttle.Cry,
is scarcely alluded to, while the great
bulk of the message Of 10000 words is
devoted to our foreign relations and to
modern Democratic ideas of finance.
OF course 1t is recommended that the
greenbscks shall be retired. This rec
ommendatioR has been so clearly fore
shadoWed by the action of bankers
associations and by the echoes Of the
sentiments of bankers from treasury
officials that everybody expected it and
it creates no surprise. The whole sub
ject has already been so thoroughly
discussed pro and con that no space
need be devoted to it now.
That part of the message relating to
the finances is characterized by the
customary falsehood and misrepresen-
tstion which have distinguished the
uttersnces of the leading politicians
Of the Democratic and Republican
parties alike for several years past.
For instance, referring to the act of
1873 requiring greenbscks, when re-
ceiVed from any source by the Treas
ury Department to be reissued, Mr..
Cleveland declares:
The government was put in the anomalous
situation OF owing to the holders Of It's notes
debts payable in gold on demand which could
neither be retired by receiving such notes in
discharge Of obligations due the government,
nor cancelled by actual payment in gold.
No one knows better than Mr.. CleVe.
land that not one dollar of the notes in
question were ever redeemsble in gold
except at the option of the Secretary
of the Treasury. Mr.. Cleveland under
stood very we'll that in making the
above statement he was uttering a de
liberate and intentional falsehood.
His purpose in this is evidently to de-
ceive the American people if possible,
and justify in their eyes the policy that
has been invariably pursued of paying
in gold obligations that were payable
In coin-either silver or gold-and al
rags at the option Of the Secretary of
the Treasury, neoer at the option of
the holder of the obligations. 1t is a
waste of energy to seriously discuss 8
public document in which so little re-
gard is paid to the truth. Such pre-
vsricstions by the chief magistrate Of
this great nation and the very slight
rebuke they receive by the press indi-
cate most lsmentsble degree Of de-
prsvity both in public and private life.
1t is no wonder that the country is on
the high road to hsdes, and going at a
2:40 pace.

Ex-PREsIDENT HARRISON has said
in recent magazine article that "God
has never endowed any statesman or
philosopher, nor any body of them,
with wisdom enough to frame sys-
tenn Of government that everybody
could 60 off and leave" However
this may be, the statesmen who have
been framing our system have sue,
Ceeded in bringing forth one that the
vast majority of people would find 1t
to their advantage If they could
leave 1t.

COULDN'T STAND so MUCH PROSPERITY

The largest school supply company

the company are stated at between
S5OO,OO0 and 100000, and it was un.
able to meet matured obligations of
less than 100000. The prosperous
gold standard times brought too great a

WHY THEY HATE ALTGELD.

Since Governor Altgeld, of Illinois,
casually remarked In a recent inter.
view that he had no aspirations for
further political honors, but that no
looks forward with delightful antici-
patton to the time when he shall retire
from the office he now holds, every Re-
publican sheet from the Cross Roads
Chronicle to the metropolitan daily
has endesVored to say something
smart on the subject. Most of them
have remarked that the people Of Illi-
nois would be quite as delighted IS
Altgeld would be on his retirement.
The Kansas City Journal said:
With the retirement of Altgeld, the curtain
will be drawn on one of the most fantastic
epochs in the history Of the United States
Waite, Lewelling and Altgeld-thess three
but the greatest Of these Is Altgeld.
These jokes and gibes are all we'll
enough in their way. They are part
of nearly every papers stock in trade,
and every public man is subject to
their effect, whatever it may be. But
after they have been repeated about so
often, people begin to regard them
seriously. In this case the average
newspaper reader begins to inquire
what Altgeld has done to subject him
self to such severe ridicule and criti-
cism, and how does he compare with
the average Governor.
John P. Altgeld's gubernstorial
record indicates that he is a man of
courage and convictions, one who is
controlled more by his sense of justice
than by popular opinion. He has stood
on the side of the people in every case
IN which their rights were encrosched
upon by the corporations.
He challenged the right of a con-
scieRceless President to invade the
State of Illinois with government
troops for the purpose of assisting rail
roads companies to oppress their en-
ployes.
In the face of false public sentimenth he
has psrdoned men who had been con
vieted by corrupt courts and bribed
juries, of crimes they did not commit.
He has stood before an immense
audience and denounced the Presi.
Dental policy they had met to praise
and not one of them dared gsinssy his
utterances.
Altgeld is an American all over. He
believes in government that protects
its people. He believes that human
rights are above property rights. He
believes In God and the brotherhood of
man. He hates monarchy; he hates
aristocracy; he hates hypocrisy. And
that's why the penny.s-line journalists
devote so much space to Governor Alt.
geld.
