The People Cannot Stand the Drain Caused
by the Endless Gold Chain.
If the country must go to the single
gold standard, then Cleveland is right
IN demanding that greenbacks and
treasury notes be permanently retired,
and it is just as we'll that they be
taken up with Understanding bonds
as with anything else. The retire
ment of all paper money is the corol-
larry of the gold standard, for so long
as it must be reissued, and as often as
presented gold must be given in re-
turn, the treasury will be emptied of
its gold and the only way to replenish
it will be by the sale of bonds
The country cannot stand the drain
of recurrent annual issues of two or
three hundred millions of gold interest
bonds very long; and there are but two
ways practical for stopping it The
one is Cleveland's way: Accept the
gold standard as a fnality and take
them in with bonds and turn over the
people to the tender mercies of the ma
tional banks for all paper money that
they may require; the other is to rec.
ognize bimetallism, and, when neces-
sary to stop the withdrawal of gold
tender silver dollars in exchange for
the greenbacks. To adopt the latter
course is expressly permitted the Sec
rotary of the treasury by the law. and
it was that course that made resump-
ton in 1879 possible-not only possible.
but an unqualified success. Denver

Inopportune Efforts Of the PrOtectionistA
to Gain Their Ends.
AS was to be expected, pressure in
being brought to bear upon the house
ways and means committee to traverse
the entire tariff law for the purpose Of
satisfying various interests preferring
tariff for protection. Chairman Dingley
and his committee should not suffer
this pressure to alter their already de-
signed scheme. This is not the time
for general tariff revision. 1t may be
that if the executive, the senate and the
house were of the same way of thinking
on political economy the law might be
reviewed not only for increasing duty
at some points but for lowering it per-
haps at others.
Whatever effect deliberate recon-
sideration of the subject might have
under other circumstances, this is not
the time for tariff revision. The coun-
try wants rest and peace. business il

steady revival Manufacturers, mer-
chants and farmers do not desire to

Trade and production are both accus-
toned now to the existing schedules,
and to provoke irritation would be the
chief result of opening up tariff de-
bste which, while wasting congress,
time, would inevitably be futile in the
end. It will be task enough to carry
safely through the senate and past the
menace of a presidential veto only the
tariff change demanded by the treas
ury condition.
There should be no attempt to alter
the existing tariff law except to rxplen-
ish the revenue, and no more should be
sought than the measure of replenish-

What Silver Advocate. Want.

No one advocates what the president
calls "a blind and headlong plunge in
free coinage" Silver men ask for an
enlightened and steady return to real
bimetallism. believing that when the
cause of the fall in the price of silver
which more correctly speaking is an
appreciation in the price of colds
fully removed, the effect will also be
remedied. Let silver be remonetized
and its market price will advance till
it reaches it's coin value. For, it is not
likely that silver will be sold in the
market for any price less than it's
value at the minis. if its free, costless
and unlimited coinage is assured.
There will then be no talk of cheap
money nor of an unstable stand
ard" The dollar will be the standard
of value whether it be counted in silver
or in gold. Salt Lake Herald

Republican Pllferers Ery1mg to Gee -
Their Work.
Every republican plan for Increasing
the revenue is dishonest and a scheme
to sandhag and rob the people Of the;
country. No great increase, il any, il
required. But the imaginary deficit is
made pretext for the kind of tariff
legislation demanded by the rapac.ty
of the protected monopolists. They
declare that the country is in NO neces-
sitous circumstances and they regard
the country's necessity as their rascal
~ opportunity.
From every part Of the country
when its patriotic enthusiasm was
awakened and there was probability
that men, ships and money might be
needed to fight its battles on land and
sea-there thronged to the capitol the
agents, solicitors and other members
of the lobby gang to urge increased
taxation, not for the public benefit, out
for their own.
The most impudent and the most
greedy of the throngs that surrounded
the sources OF revenue legislation were
the wool men, clamoring for a renewal

the old tax on clothing, carpets, hats
and caps and other wool products.
They ciphered out that the wool and
clothing tariff produced in prosperous
years a revenue of $40,o00,000 They
covered up the fact that for every dol
lar of public revenue produced by the
wool tariff ten dollars or $50 went into
the pockets of the protected manufac-
turers.
The advocates of this gigantic fraud
and steal attempted to disguise its
character by declaring that it is not "a
restoration of the Mckinley tariff
schedule" and that it is plan to pro-
duce revenue merely-not for protec-
ton. The allegation is false. If the
Mckinley tariff or so or 60 per cent. of
the Mckinley tariff rates should be
restored it would be tor protection and
not for revenue. Nine-tenths of all
the taxes collected or more would go

| asking, iercely:
''Why don't you speak out? What
do you know about it, fellow?'
''Oi knaws nowt."
"Then, what did you come here for?'
''To arm thy ten dollars" was the
stolid response.
'Eh, what?" Mr.. Edgerly, an old man
! of some property, and member of the
board, interrupted. "Who promised to
give you ten dollars?" 80

Susan Green next appeared.
'Have you had any conversation with
Miss Whitford concerning Mr.. Gregg"
''Often, sir"
"Repeat what she has said"
"Please. sir, l don't like to, sir, it

Mr.. Grey, have you any questions to

it she believes in God, I would advise
her to fall on her knees and implore
pardon for her venomous malice. The
innocence of the sweet child she has
maligned is beyond the foul breath of
such a slanderer."
Miss Clarkson put her handkerchief
to her eyes and sobbingly appealed for
protection. 1t was prettily done, and
decided the wavering opinions of two
members of the board, who were
neither dependent on Wixon nor dis
honest men, but simply prejudiced
against Grey for his communistic pro-
