OF those who founded and have

no man should be eligible for a

DEMOCRATIC BlMETALLIsTs.

Mr.. Livingston, who represents the
Atlanta, Georgia, district in congress,
Is man of recognized standing and
ability. lie recently returned to
Washington from a visit to his home,
and some other portions Of the south,
and gives out the result Of his latest
observation and information in regard
to southern democratic politics, which
II not mistaken is highly important.
lie says tire "silver" democrats have
thorough organization In every
southern, and most Of the western
states, and are quite sure to enter the
Chicago convention with oyer five
hundred delegates. The first move
there will be TO repeal the antiquated
two-thirds rule, which will give them
control Of the convention. After that
they will make a "free silver" plat
form, and nominate an original con-
slstent, 1s-karat fine silver man to
stand upon 1t. He represents the free
silver sentiment In the south as
intense. II the more than five humid
red delegates favorable TO It are OBJ
tained the carrying out the program
named would, of course, be an easy
matter. AS to changing the two
thirds rule that ought to have been
done years ago. 1t is an invention OF
the old shareholders intended TO pre-
vent the nomination Of any candidate
distasteful to themselves. 1t is un-
Democratic, un-American, and an
anomaly In free government.

THE CONGRESSIONAL SITUATION

The Populists have put up the best
man in their party in this district for
congress s. Vanderburg Of Marsh
field. He has been state senator for
four years, and his legislative record
is clean, and cannot be easily assailed.
Mr.. Vanderburg Is not an extreme
and violent 'Popullst. lie has stood
with the more intelligent business
element OF his party, and has repeat
edly opposed the grasplng mercenary
Populst for revenue and the danger
Gus socialist element that stands for
destruction and reyolution. Mr. Van
derburg is a man the Republicans and
their papers have no notion of treat
Ing otherwise than with respect, The
Republicans will have TO put up a
man strong with the people OF this
congressional district to defeat Mr..
Vanderburg. No special representa-
tive OF the old Portland ring, can
walk OF with Mr.. Yanderburg's scalp

February, 1896, Secretary. Carlisle
makes the outstanding interest-bear-
ing debt of the government, on March
i, 1893 1856, ,O3i, 2eO; on March J, 1896,
sS22, ,GI5.I7O From these figures, FUR
nished by Secretary Carlisle himself
the public interest hearing debt mas
increased s937 $50. 9l0, between March
/. 1893, and /, 1896, an annual average
of $40, 1913, ,636; and for this amount
the president and secretary have sold
TO home and foreign bondholders 4t
per cent interest-bearing bonds, which
run for thirty years. According to
the report of 1894, there was deh-
cheney in revenue of $69,SO5,26O 6S'
Undoubtedly the president will be
compelled to sell as many bonus dur
ing the last year of his term as he has
for the year past, which will make an
average increase of the bonded debt,
during his entire term, of about $780,
100000 a year.
Under protective tariff the public
debt was reduced over S75,OOO,OOO an
nually for 2s years, while under the
Wilson-Gorman tariff bill Cleveland
and Carlisle have increased the bond
ed debt about SSO,OOO,OOO a year.
These figures clearly show the differ
ence between protection and low tariff,
but, unfortunately for the people, the
effect of this latter policy has been
far more disastrous to the Industries
of the country than it has been to the
revenues of the government.
