WILL NOT BOLT
The Delaware Delegation VIII Stand on Any
Platform

CHICAGO, July 5.-Members of the
delegation from Delaware declare very
positively that there will be no boilers
in their camp on account Of the adopt
ion of free silver platform and the Sc
lection of a free silver candidate. Even
Senator Gray, one of the most radical
gold men in the convention or the party,
they declare, will not desert the party
nominees. There is some feeling in the
delegation against Senator Gray be-
cause Of his speech at the gold meeting
Saturday night. One of his colleagues
complains that the gold men are injur-
ing the chances of the party in the cam
paign by fighting the inevitable with ar
guments of such nature that they will
furnish campaign material to the Repub-
licans John Il. Salisbury, who is a
free silver delegate from Delaware, has
devoted considerable effort to endeavor-
ing to persuade the more radical silver
leaders to accept platform which Will
be in the nature of a re-affirmation OF
previous declarations on the financial
question by Democratic conventions and
will not be offensive to the gold men, but
does not think his efforts have been par
ticularly successful.

WASHINGTON July 5.-The natural gas

The total value was s19,006, 65O against slS.-

wood displaced by gas.
The value of consumption during lSso-S'

GERMANY's SUGAR SURPLUS.
The local organ of free trade and Bry;
ism SAYS:

The local organ of free trade and Bryan
ism says:
The German sugar industry seems to be
having a sad time with the bounty law
which was passed to develop it, and has
developed IL so much that it is getting be-
yond the possibility of sustenance.
The sad time which the German sugar
industry is having is in its enormous
growth under the bounty law. Under the
encouragement of this law the beet-sugar
industry in Germany has grown in COM
paratively few years from almost nothing
to vast proportions. From being a large
importer of sugar Germany is now a large
exporter. and as the market is in danger of
being giutted the manufacturers are cast
ing about for some means of curtailing
production. This may be somewhat diff
cult to accomplish, but it cannot be as diff
ficult or take nearly as long it did to
build up the business. A distinguished
American has remarked that it is much
easier TO deal with a surplus than with a
deficit. This is true of manufactures as
well finance, of sugar as well as dol
lars. 1t is not to be expected that advo-
Gates of free trade, short revenues and
treasury deficits should recognize this fact,
but 1T is nevertheless true. BY as much
as the reduction of surplus in the treas
ury is easier than the making up Of q
deficit, by much is the pruning of an
overgrown industry to healthy proportions
easier than the building up of such an in
dustry from nothing. 1t took many years
of wise legislation on the part of Germany
and industrious effort by her farmers and
manufacturers to develop the sugar-beet
industry in that country to its present
great proportions. If 1t has become un-
wieldy or If the market is i'm danger of be-
ing glutted a way can doubtless be found
of effecting reasonable restriction of pro-
duction without inficting a very sad
time AT all events. the situation i'm Ger
many cannot be much sadder than ii is
in this country. where the beet-sugar indus
try was killed by the repeal of the bounty
in 1894 and where the people are paying
about s1oc.OOO.OOO year for sugar imported
from other countries, a large proportion
being from Germany.

FacfIis Descensus Averni. Etc.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
1 will not give the other famous lines of
Virgil. A rather free translation would be
that it is easy to go to the devil across
lots, but that once in his clutches 1t is hard
to escape. The particular devil / would
warn the taxpayers against is the devil Of
a city debt. II is so easy to issue and sell
bonds. 1t costN about a dollar apiece to en-
grave and print them, the mayor affixes his
signature, the corporate seal is attached
and there you are. You have thousa nd
dollars in the city treasury and the bond
holder has a bit of paper and nothing more.
This issuing of bits of paper in the form
of promssory notes and bonds causes all
the financial disasters that aff1ict individ-
uals and corporations. 1 have known a
whole generation of business men in this
city to come to grief in this way. Macoupin
county, Illinois, was bankrupted. her citi-
zens sold their farms and fled, simply be-
cause the County Commissioners had issus d
too many bonds. Lands in that county sod
for $50 an acre. and adjoining lands across
the county line were worth $l0o acre.
Our own State had an Overissue of bonds
for canal and other public improvements /;
we defaulted; we did not repudiate, but put
a stain upon our credit by blackmailing the
foreign bondhOlders into a settlement by
which they got one-half their pay in new
bonds and the balance in chips and whet-
stones in the shape of stock of the Wabash
and Erie Canal.
1t seems now that there is a noble rage
for parks animating the bosoms of certain
So-called public-spirited citizens. 1t is pro-
posed to pay for the parks, first by cOnfis-
eating a portion of the property of citizens
who are so unfortunate as to have lands or
lots lying near the proposed parks: second
by issuing city bonds. What is the present
state of our city finances? AT the present
rate of taxation. which, considering the
valuation of property. is high enough, we
can hardly squeeze through the year. The
expense of repairing and cleaning our i'm
proved streets is already so great that the
work was stopped this fall for want of
funds. The amount required for this pur-
pose is increasing every year as the con-
tractors guarantees expire. II is now pro-
posed to issue. say, million dollars of
bonds. the interest upon which. with a
sinking fund. will saddle an additional bur-
den of $4,000 per annum on the taxpayer
and to that must be added the cost Of
caring for the parks. l have been a VOL
expensive and needed improvements upon
the streets. alleys and sidewalks. and an
involuntary contributor for some that were
and the general tax it takes hard scratch
ing to pay out. l am like a great many
others who think they burdened with
all they can bear. Peine forte ct dure
was a form of torture used in England at
one time. 1t consisted in placing the VIC
tim on the ground and placing upon his
body as great a We, yht of iron he could
bear-and more. w. p. FISHBACK.
