POLICY OF THE COMBINE.
i"day's Action Indicates the Plan al
Democrats and POpuliSts.

The Senate was thrown into a furry this
afternoon by the motion of Mr. Allen of
Nebraska to take up the Dingley bill. The
vote by which this motion was carried
30 10 Il, is regarded as an Indication of the
power or those who may design to do SO
to force this question upon the Senate dur
ing his session. AT the expiration of the
morning hour the bill had to give way 10
the regular order. which was the immigra-
ton bill, but that does not settle the mat
ter.
1t was made evident by the statement of
MI Allen that what was sought by him
and those acting with him was not es-
pecially 20 adopt the free coinage substi-
tute reported as an amendment to the bill.
III Is apparently the intention Of The demo-
Gratis and free silver men to force the re-
prhhcans to take up the " hole tariff ques-
ton at this session, else to assume
responsibility for non-action.
1t Is not altogether uncertain that there
may not be some who are willing that the
republicans should be given an opportunity
to construct bill without a free silver
amendnent The fact that Allen treated
the bill before the Senate as tariff meas
ure, though as reported 1t has no tariff in
H. squintS at purpose to permit it to
again assume that form.
O1 course, Mr.. Allen and his associates do
not want tariff legislation but they be-
neHe they can embarrass the republicans
by involving them in the construction of a
revenue measure. which may In the end
De defeated at the will Of the free silver
Senator'S.
Todny's Action Not Anticipated.
Senator Aliens calling up the tariff bill
was not after conference with the demo-
Gratis or other silver men. No plan with
relation to the treatment of this question
has yet been decided upon between the
several elements of the silver men, The
incident today was not generally anticipat-
ed Mr. Allen is not yet prepared TO saw
whether he will renew his motion in the
next morning hour.

ingalls, on Lincoln.

In one Of his syndicate letters
Ingalls, speaking Of Lincoln says;
He sometimes seemed dilatory, but
it was because he waited to ascertain
the conviction Of the people. He
listened, took counsel and received
suggestions, and then acted. He was
a leader because he followed public
opinion.
The Augusta Press comments thus
"This is the foulest SANDER ever
uttered against Abraham Lincoln by
any man except rebels in arms or
their sympathizers. The memory Of
Lincoln occupies a more prominent
place in the hearts of the American
people than that Of any other man
who ever blessed this country with
his presence. Mr.. Lincoln was not
a panderer to the whims and caprices
of men; he was not a trimmer, asyco-
plant, a buffet to be blown hither and
thither by the demands of one or
many men; he was man OF primer
pies, of convictions that he dared
maintain, he was formulator, a
moulder Of public opinion and did
not await the opening of new paths
before treading therein, but himself
blazed the way that led to right and
justice, to liberty and happiness"
The Press should remember tina
Ingalls, is a "trimmer" and "pand
erer" himself and sees through tina
kind OF spectacles.

That Conundrum.

A conundrnm for our gold standard
friends: lit has required the issue Of $780,
100000 Of bonds land 1t has in the past three
years to maintain this country on the gold
basis, how much will 1t require under the
same conditions in the next twenty years.
News. ts..
1t will require none II the Republi-
can administration is put in power so
that such tariff laws can be enacted
as will provide sufficient revenue for
the government.
During the first 20 months OF the
Mckinley law the revenues OF the
government averaged $Sl,305,SOO
monthly. During the first 20 months
of the Wilson-Gorman law ending
with last month, the revenues Of the
government averaged $26,517,5O5
monthly. Each one Of the Mckinley
months averaged $4,7S7,795 more
revenues than the average Wilson
German month. The total difference
in the revenues, as between the 20
Mckinley months and the 20 Wilson
German months, was in favor of the
former by $95, 10000. These are in
structive and eloquent figures. They
explain the deficit in the revenues Of
the government, the impairment of
the gold reserve, and the necessity for
issuing 1852, 100000 Of bonds in
time Of profound peace and increas-
ing the interest on the public debt to
the extent Of $11,5OO,0O0 annually.
They also bear evidence Of the inca
pacity of the Democratic party to adj
minister the government at Washing
ton wisely and well, and tell the story
Of free trade failure and folly.
The government expenditures over
their receipts for the year ending July
/, 1896, were 100000. For the
preceding year they were $4S, 100000.
Under Republican rule the receipts
were always the larger, giving sur
plus to pay off the debt. 1t is Demo-
cratic financiering that has brought
the country to its present condition Of
decrepitude. Put party in power
that knows how to run the govern
ment on a business basis, that has al
ways brought prosperity and finan-
cial independence, and the result will
be that the nation will return toward
good times again. No more bonds
will be issued--instead the public
debt will begin decreasing again, as
it always has under Republican rule.
