From the Inter Ocean:

From the Inter Ocean:
The treasury deficit for the first
eleven days of this month is s6,OS4,-
SOB. This, as our Washington cor
respondent observes, is at the rate of
S6OS, 4SO for each working day of the
year; counting eight hours to each
day, eight hours makes a business
day at Washington, 1t is at the rate
of S76,0 an hour and over 81 200
a minute.
This comes of democratic tariff tin
kering, of democratic currency tinker
ing, of democratic appropriation max
ing and of all the combined manifes-
tations OF democratic incompetency
to administer concerning the finance
and trade of the country.
The first twenty months of the oper-
alton of the Mckinley tariff resulted
in surplus of $20,2S7,4 62 for the
national treasury. The first twenty
months of the operation of the Will
son tariff has resulted in a deficit OF
SS2,24S,794.
The democrats denounced the sur
plus as ''infamous," though it is a
matter of common sense that sur
plus of 100000 is no more than
a safeguard against emergencies.
But if surplus of S20,000,00O be elm
famous" what adjective is fit to
qualify deficit of 100000?
When there was surplus in the
national treasury there was surplus
in nearly every house. The building
associations and the savings banks
were receiving vast deposits of ac-
cumulations from the wage fund,
merchants were charging their stores,
manufacturers were enlarging their
mills, wages were going up, and all
manufactured things that wages buy
were coming down. Strikes for
higher wages were too common, but
strikes against lower wages were un-
known.
The democrats have changed all
this. Turn them out.

Thai TARIFF FOR EUROPE.
A Title Well Earned by n Distribution
Abroad of s213, 946,965.

Among its many and fitting cogno-
mems the Wilson bill has often been de-
scribed as the Democratic tariff for Eu-
rope. No title has been more Justly
earned or deserved. All of the European
countries together, including the United
Kingdom, bought from the United States
500, 1857 $3.50 less of goods and sold $780,
436, 159 more of their goods during the
first Wilson bill year, 1895, than in the
last Mckinley year. This made an en-
tire gift of 1902, SOB, 4S9 to Europe by
the Democratic administration and con-
gress out of the total gifts of $213, 946, =
800 to all countries, leaving but little
more than $11, 1000 10 be divided
among all sections of the globe outside
of Europe. Briefly summarizing the eff
feet of a complete years Democratic tar
if history, as compared with the last
year of the Mckinley protective tariff,
we have the following:

DEMAND OF RAILROAD MEN.
Protection Creates Prosperity For the
Roads and Their Employees.

Protection Creates Prosperity For tho
Roads and Their Employees.
We prefer protective tariff, provided,
however, that such tariff is made to
apply ON all such products of the United
States as are marketed in the United
States in competition with like imported
products. Our Nevada products are prin-
cipally mineral in character, and we
know by ample experience that we car
ried greater tonnage of same, and at
greater revenue, under the higher pro-
tective tariff provided for by the SO call
ed Mckinley act than under the reduced
tariff of the succeeding SO called Wilson
act. These products consist principally
of silver, lead, borax, soda and wool.
Under the lower and prevailing tariff
we have bad reduced tonnage, freight
rates, wages, with many more unem
ployed men. But the protection must be
general-we of the west supporting
tariff for the protection Of the products
of the manufacturing and agricultural
states, upon the ethical idea that the
greatest good TO the greatest number
would result thereby, and you of the
east upon the same grounds supporting
a tariff for the protection of our mineral
products. The wishes and Judgment of
the people of each section as to the
amount of protection necessary for their
respective products to prevail in legisla-
ton to accomplish the object sought for.
We believe that protection and BIZ
metallism should be associated that the
silver bullion product of the United
States should be protected from the ex-
listing free importations of the article
from Mexico and other, cheap labor
countries, such legislation to be supple
mented by legislation providing for the
free coinage of silver and for the with
drawal from circulation of all paper
money and all gold coins of denomi-
nation under $40, in order to maintain
and greatly increase the use Of silver as
money. We believe, further, that such
legislation in favor of silver would tend
to advance its market value in the gold
standard countries and bring about
within a few years an international
agreement to promote bimetallism.

THE adjournment ofcongress seems
to be near at hand, and the people
will be glad to see the dissolution of
the body of do-nothing statesmen.
No blame whatever attaches to the
house, as excellent measures passed
there have been killed In the senate
by the democrats with an insignif-
cant, factious republican addition to
their ranks. The republicans have
had control of no branch except the
house, and upon its record the party
can afford to GO before the people in

forms, might easily have imbibed the
erroneous idea that free silver is a

the Courier has kindly undeceived
them and set them right in this inn

A Fable.

Once upon time, certain skunk,
whose head was badly swelled, con-
ceived the erroneous notion that it
was his mission to regulate the affairs
of his fellow quadrupeds. But he
was impressed with the idea that his
great ability as a regulator was not
appreciated as it ought to be, just be-
cause he was a skunk. 81 will no
longer be SKUNK" said he "but |
will be and from henceforth | am a
woodchuck, and | will consider it a
personal favor if anybody will prove
that am not woodchuck. But not
one of his fellow quadrupeds attempt
ed to disprove the statement.
Moral: Whenever you see a skunk,
no matter under what name he may
masquerade, it is the part of wisdom
to leave him severely alone.

The Little Advance Made Due to Coa1.
denoe In the Republics. Party.
1t is amusing to observe how Justify
the free traders crow over the few in
creases in wages which have taken place
since the 'tariff reform" congress ad-
journed.
Wages are going up in spite Of the
Democratic party and its free trade
tariff. After the elections Of last No
vember the country began to take hope.
It saw the beginning Of the end Of DEM
ocratic rule Still there was no visible
improvement in business, no upward
movement in wages. It required the re-
suits Of the spring elections to confirm
the people in tho belief that the reac-
tion had come to stay. There are few
who do not now believe that the Repub-
ican party will be fully returned to
power next year.
There is hope for the future. and ad-
vances in wages are the fruits Of that
hope. The real turning point in the
great depression was the final adjourn
ment of the congress that passed the
Wilson tariff. The Democratic party
had done its worst and had been repudi-
ated by the country. The nation has re-
turned to its senses, and business is once
more on the up grade. From this time
on we may look for gradual advances in
wages, and as they come they will be
hailed with gladness and satisfaction.
It will take some time before they are
restored to the high water mark Of 1892.

You said tin plate was not then made
and never would be made in this coun-
Try.
Now what do you think Of It?
There are now 156 tin plate mills in
operation Or under construction in the
United States
And there are more than 5S projected.
And now for some figures taken from
Democratic records:
The aggregate output 0f the mills now
and soon to be in operation is 80, 900
boxes each per annum.
This means an aggregate output Of
4,68O, 900 boxes in all
When the projected mills are COM
pleted, the total annual output will
reach 6, ,42O, 900 boxes, or enough to sup
ply tho home market.
That, Mr.. Democrat, is q result Of
Republican protection
Il isa result achieved in spite of DEM
ocratic falsehoods and meering predic-
tions of failure.
It is q result of legislating in the in
terest of America and Americans.

No wonder President Sextro desires
to get ''free" for his industries six times
as much material as the entire furniture
trade produces. This is the greatest
scheme for 1.-The robbery Of the great

monopoly and class distinction as the
Republican party never advocated, never
suggested and was never narrow minded
enough to listen to.
There need, however, be no surprise
that Mr.. Godkin should say there will
be abundant opportunity for business
men to organize ON business basis, SO
that they can ask congress for what they
want as manufacturers, as exporters Or
as tmpMssf1" It was all wrong to "ask

The promised activity Of trade which
was to follow the enactment Of the Cor
man tariff has been very slow in its
movement; but, according to the best
Democratic authority, the sluggard is
now in sight. Activity in trade ought
to bring a train of blessings, but unfor-
tunately this trade activity is chiefly in
foreign goods Activity in trade of this
kind brings no relief to the multitude
