CARLISLE's REPORT,
Statement OF the Financial Condition of
the Government

Statement of the Financial Condition of
the Government.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l- Secretary
Carlisle in his annual report on the
state of the finances shows the reven-
ues OF the government from all sources
TO have been S409, AZ, ,40S, and the ex.
penditures' s434 .67S ,654, which leaves
deficit for the year ended June /, 1896,
of $25, EOS, ,245.
In addition to the ordinary revenues
collected duringthe year the cash in
the treasury was increased by the fO,-
lowing sums:
From the sale of sI0a.00O.O00 ! per
cent 30 year honds, Sill, ,l66. .246: and
from the issue of per cent bonds in
liquidation of interest accrued on re
funding certificates converted during
the year, $4l30. making tot.l of SILL
l7O,376.
AS compared with the fiscal year
1875, the receipts for 1886 increased
$40, l02, ,2l5.
The revenue of the government for
the current fiscal year, the report esti-
mates will be $io7 ,793, l2O and the ex-
penditures for the same period are es-
timated at s472, 293, 120. leaving an esti-
mated deficiency for the year OF s64.-
500, ,0d0.
These estimates of receipts and ex-
penditures, the secretary says, are
made upon the assumption that there
will be no substantial change in exist
ing business conditions, and that the
present scale of public expenditures
will not be reduced. But if our ordi
nary business activity should be re-
sumed and the consumption of articles
subject TO taxation should increase to
its normal proportions, there may be in
fact, no deficiency in our revenues,

WHY PRODUCE SUGAR.

The Salem Statesman is anxious that
the pledge of the republican national
platform to encourage the production
of sugar be fulfilled, and wants a
bounty on the home product and q
duty On imports. In the same article
iT makes this statement regarding
sugar productions in other countries:
Hundreds of thousands of people in
the British and French West Indies
have been reduced to misery by their
sole dependence upon sugar raising as
a means of living. In the French is
land of Guadeloupe, for instance,
ninety per cent of the total product is
cane sugar, and 10000 persons depend
upon this industry. But they and the
dense population of the British islands
in the Lesser Antilles see dire want in
their doors today because they cannot
sell their sugar for what it cost to pro-
duce ii"
If it is true that these people are un-
able to realize the cost OF production
for their sugar, then it must be true that
we are getting our sugar for less than we
could produce it, hence in order that
our sugar raisers be not driven to the
verge of starvation, bounty so high
as to be burdensome would have to be
offered. And further, why should
our people be encouraged to embark
in an industry that has proved disas-
trous in sections where climatic con-
ditons are most favorable? WHY
should we want our people to engage
in business that starves out the
cheapest labor on earth?
However, the Statesman's report of
the conditions that exist in, the West
Indies may be over drawn, and possibly
sugar growing maynot be so disastrous
a business as it's made to appear, for
the sugar planters of the United States
have been able to maintain their plan.
tations for good many years, some.
times in direct competition with the
pauper sugar raisers of other countries.
Still neither of these facts is an argu-
ment in favor of fulfilling the pledge
to do something for sugar by placing
bounty on the home product, for the
system of bounties, as principle, is
one of the most pernicious ever adopted
by any government, since it is tax
on all for the banefit of a very few and
has not even the redeeming feature of
a protective tariff, that OF creating
from duties levied on similar
products that are imported. 1t is not
necessary that this govern
ment produce single pound of sugar,
so long as it can be bought
as the Statesman asserts, at
less than cost, nor is it desirable that
we produce any. If it must be done
through paying bounties.

LONDON, Dec. 23--As frequently an
nounced from the various capitals
since the visit of the Car to u queen,
in September, the powers have finally
become convinced that the snltau' s
promises amount 10 nothing and are
determined to begin policy of coer-
cion. All information points To the
accuracy of the news received today
from Constantinople and cabled by the
Associated Press.
The Marquis of Salisbury on Monday
summoned the ambassadors to the
foreign Office and co nmunicat "a to

joint intervention, in order that each
ambassador might communicate them

state and private banks.
The deposits of the treasurers of
Chicago and Cook county aggregate al
most 81 100000. The amount at pre-
sent on time deposit by the state treas
urer is comparatively small.
Among the depositors were many
large corporations and receivers. They
included the receivers OF the Northern
Pacific railroad and the receiver OF the
whisky trust. The deposits of E. S.

West Park board. The amount was
about $4,000.

NEW YORK, Dec. PA Key West
special to the world says:
General Weyler proposes to take the
field in Santa Clara province cow, it is
learned from Havana, and force the
fighting. The caI tain general is d s.
turbed by reports OF insurgent opera
tions in Santa Clara. Besides q
8 oig hint is said to have reached
hi n from Madrid that something must
be done by January l to forestall ac-
tion by congress on the Cameron res
olution. KY
A number OF dead bodies of pacificos
four of them bodies of women, were
fond by Cuban band Saturday near
Alfonso, after spanish column had
p sssed. All the huts and dwellings
in that section have been burned and
the crops destroyed, so the country
people have little lelt to live on. Many
are IN the verge of starvation.
The pacificos living on farms near
Estervos were driven from home Sat
urday and forced to go into the town
or be killed. When they went there
and crowded into quarters they found
little provisions made for them. With
nothing to do and no money to buy
10 q, their cases are pitiful. If they
remain they will starve.
Affairs east of the trocha grow worse
rhe Spanish officials there cannot
cope with the insurgent bands in
operation In that section, using the
,ills as their base of operation, and
hey are confined to the towns.

In Denmark the value of real estate
has increased G19a, 900 in thirty
seven years. This result Is due TO the
breaking up of the large estates of the
nobility and their purchase by the
peasantry.

THE value of land in Great Britain
rose enormously during the Canadian
and American wars of the last century,
and increased still further during the
French wars, owing to the demand for
grain and its advanced price.

The bank of West Superior, with a
capital of $4,000 and surplus of $50
900, suspended operations this morn

.BIMETALISM. NEVER.

Whatever else may be said of the
New York Sun, it ordinarily treats
facts as they exist, and when it makes
an assertion is prepared to back it hy
competent proof, and when that jour-
nal makes a statement editorially it
can ordinarily be relied upon. Hence
when the statement is made in its edi-
torial columns that the gold standard
will prevail though MIR. McKinley's
administration, it may be set down as
true, for the Sun was one of his strong
est supporters in the recent campaign,
and is beyond doubt on the 'inside"
now. Therefore those who supported
Mr.. Mckinley upon the assumption
that his election would result in the
adoption of system Of international
bimetalism had as we'll abandon their
hopes.
Recently the Cleveland, Ohio, Leader
stated that Senator Wolcott's resolu.
tion for the appointment of a committee
to propose plan for an international
monetary conference, was fulfillment
of the pledges of the republican La
tional platform, to which the Sun re-
piled:
"This pledge in the republican plat
form never ought to have been made,
and was not honestly made. 1t was
mere syringe to catch silver wood
cocks. Nobody with any sense ex-
pected or. expects anything to come
out of that pledge. AS matter of
fact, it was the one weakness, and IL
logicality in the Republican financial
position in the recent canvass. 1t was
an attempt to seem to hedge, without
any real intention of hedging.
ut Is not likely that something de-
fiuitew be accomplished by means of
Mr.. Wolcott's resolution or any other
plan for bringing about international
bimetalism. No important nation
wants such thing, and if there are
nations that 60 want it, they are not
agreed and cannot come to an agree
ment upon tenure. Provided another
conference can be had,
nothing will come Oft
1.-THE sentiment in favor of interna-
tional bimetallism is not growing
abroad or anywhere else, except in the
heads of the few persons who are per-
manently agitated over the subject.
Various European statesman may be
willing to say more or less civil things
about it, but not thing can they be
indceud to do. In short, International
bimetalism is pure moonshine and
will o. the wisp.
"The Cleveland Leaders declaration
that the republican party is not un-
friendly, to silver in spite of the popo-
cratic attempt to commit it to the adj
vocacy of permanent gold standard
Is q specimen of the coward1y and by
pocritical talk on the part of republi-
cans who know better, which did 80
much to foster the silver craze. The
republican party, in tn he last campaign,
fought and licked silver monometal-
lism, the false Hbimetalism" about
which the. popocrats and .populists
and the republican party
fought and won the victory for per-
gold standard, gold monomet-
allism. 1t is strange that there should
be in Mark Hanna's town q newspaper
30 ignorant or SO hypocriticar as to as
sert that the republican party is not in
Iavor of what it .battled for this year.
Gold monomelallism or silvof mono
those are the necessary al
tentative. International bimetallism

closely connected with the Bank of
Minnesota, also closed as conse-
quence of the larger failure. The clos

a BIG BANK FAILS.
The National Rank of Illinois is Com
pelied to Close it's Doors


CHICAGO, Dec. 2l.-The National
Bank of Illinois, one of the Oldest and
best-known banking institutions in the
city, with assets of between S12, ZOO, ,00O
and SIS, ,000,o 600. closed today. The fol-
lowing notice was posted on the doors
before banking hours:
"rhis bank is in tho hands of the
national bank examiners, 10y order of
the controller of the treasury
This action was decided upon at a
meeting of the directors last nigh
after the bank had been suspended
from The clearinghouse Association
of Chicago. OF the 16 banks that
cleared through the National bank of
Illinois, two are closed-E. S. Dryer &
Co. and Warmansdorff g. Heineman.
These two are mortgage loan banks
and savings societies in small way,
and their failure is not expected to
effect any business houses. The as
sets of E. S. Dryer & Co. are given at
81 500, 600; liabilities, S1.200G00. War
mansdorff & Heinman's assets are
$3.50, 900; liabilities, 100000. The
Security Title & Trust Company was
appointed receiver for both firms.
The failure was great surprise in
financial and business circles. The
carse of the suspension, as given in
resolutions adopted by the clearing
b 'use commissioners, are "unwarrant-
able and injudicious loans," through
which the capital and surplus of said
bank is seriously imperiled II not alb
solutely lost.
The statement was made that loan
of about 100000 TO the Calumet
Street Railroad Company, of which J.
W. Farson, of Farson, Leach & Co., is
presi lent, had caused the National
Bank of Illinois to suspend.

come. nearer the point than putting

NEW YORK. Dec. 23.-The gunboat
Annapolis, destined for service as a
practice cruiser for the United States
naval academy at Annapolis, was
launched at Elizabeth at 1890 A. N.
The Annapolis is vessel of an en-
tirely new type in our navy, and is of
composite construction, all the framing
beiug of steel. Planks of Georgia pine
are worked in the frame below the
water line. secured by composition
bolts in such manner as to prevent
galvanic action, and then covered with
copper. This will make the vessel
largely independent of docking facili-
ties and economical in the use of fuel.
Another feature of the vessel that
distinguishes il from other naval ships
Is the use of full sail power in addition
to steam. 1t is sister ship to, the
