American mines will pour their
products into the minis, and a
new era similar IT, that pre-
duced by the issue of green
backs during the civil war will
begin. Gold will leave the
banks and enter into competi
ton with silver in the avenues
of trade, and the manufactures
of the United States, which have
been shut down or crippled
since 1892, will again resume
their fight for the English mar
kets.
cit is doubtful whether the
republican party can be held
mach longer in check by sound
money statesmen, as it's adher-
ents are divided by powerful
factions. The democratic party
is also breaking mp under the

ton. 1t matter not 10 Great

"The American people cling
with wonderful tenacity to par
ty organizations, but lnancial
embarrassment and business
stagnaton bias become too
severe for their patience and
they are ready for any change
that promises relief. They are
becoming convinced that it can
not be found in the protection
theory, as that has been tried,

free silver. When that issue

THE PRESIDENTS
PRIVATE LIFE,

M ~ L LIZ Ia
The following is a fair idea
of the many incidentals that
come free to a President:
Every bit of linen, bedding,
towels, and such things is
furnished. He is shaved by
the White House barber. His
table is spread with the finest,
daintiest damask, set with the
most exquisite china and
bountifully supplied with flow
ers from the White House
conservatories. If he sends a
telegram it is done with an in
strument in the White House
for which the government
pays. His stationery, postage,
etc, cost him nothing. Should
he desire a game Of billiards,
there is a beautiful table at
hand; or if he wants to take a
drive, his stables, which the
government pays the rent for
and takes care OF, are amply
equipped. When he enters
his business office, a man is
stationed at the door to open
and close it; and a private sec
rotary, to whom the Govern
ment pays a salary Of 5000 a
year, assists him with his cor
respondence. The services of
ia typewriter are also furnished.
He is protected from the curl
Gus by a number of private
watchmen. Should he want a
cruise, a magnificent steamer
from the navy is placed at his
disposal.
There are many other things
that cost him nothing, such as
the culinary arrangements, his
steward, who does the market.
ing, the many fancy delicacies
sent him by enterprising firms.
Tins, by the way, is a sort of
nuisance for it seems to be
the desire of every manufacttr-
er of some new eatabie to get
it into the White House.
Things of valde that find their
way there are never accepted.

of its readers. The Times De-
mocrat republishes the follow
ing editorial utterances Of the
London Financial News of
March 10, 1896:
1.-The financial situation in
the United States is very Sc
rious. The senate has blocked
all relief measures proposed by
President Cleveland, and con
gress is at a dead standstill on
the money question. The free
coinage senators are masters of
the situation.
"The condition of affairs in
the United States congress de
mands the Immediate attention
of British financiers and states
men. The trade of the world is
now Ia our hands, but it will
not long remain there if the
United States goes to bime-
tallic basis with free and un-
limited coinage of silver.
With the addition of silver
TO the volume of money, every
thing in America would take
on q new face; labor and iu-
dustry would gain new life.
grip of the world would be
loosened, and prices would rise.
Great Britain would lose her
markets in South America,
Asia and Europe, and American
ships would not be long in
capturing the carrying trade OF
the world.
British creditors must now
apply themselves quickly to
the American money problem.
The sound money men and
banking interests led by Sena-
ator Sherman, Cleveland and
Carlisle, with a plentiful sup
ply Of means, have been educat-
ed on the power and use Of
money, and made desperate by
debt and business depression,
they are forcing free silver as
the main issue.
Great Britain need fear no
injury TO her trade or invest
ments if the republican party
can force protection tariff as
the main issue in the coming
presidential campaign, but il
free silver dominates American
mind and carries at the polls,

the advantage of a compliance with

this connection would IL not be wise

"At a period when municipal ques:
tions are the great topic of political
discussion we must be in line; good,

like management Of our city affairs is
expected and must be given, not by
rant-like professional reformers, but
by good work in our various commit

Mayor GaJCnS annual lneSSdBt l,
the first meeting Of the council Of the

81 welcome you to your work and
trust we will have pleasant year OF
labor together in the interest Of the
city.
almost the last act Of the proceed
ing council was to give attention to
the fire department.; the need Of this
was demonstrated at the woolen mill
fire. When the country papers say
that the Salem paid fire department
takes enough coal only to last it to a
fire fear their statement is not far
from the truth.
Among proposed improvements is
that Of fire alarm system, which
understand would cost nearly $1,000
] deem this more than we can now
afford, but 1 find upon investigation
that some new hose is needed, and
that the old steamer should be re-
paired, or, If this is impracticablc, a
new one Of lighter weight than that
now in service and easier to haul and
handle bc purchased. ! would also
recommend an entire separation Of
the police and the fire departments.
While power of arrest In the chief
engineer might be useful at times, !
think the city would get better SER
vice If he could give the department
his whole time.
II would also ask the council to
give earnest attention to the entire
department-its apparatus, men. hy-
drants, and the water pressure so
that its efficiency may not be impaired
for want Of better equipment. You
will find that you will not be found
fault with for judicious expenditures
in this direction.
"Salem's sidewalks are disgrace
and shame To our fair city. That
we have not had costs to pay is owing
TO the good nature Of the far too
many OF our citizens who have been
injured by the breaking Of rotten
planks, loose boards and protruding |
