We would commend to the careful
consideration of any, who may fee
like looking to the visionary schemes
of populism. free silverism or Dem
ocracy for relief of fancied govern
mental ills, the fact that this United
States Senate, which is now under the
control of those political influences,
has added with lavish hand to the ap-
preparations passed by the House
Some Of those appropriations recon-
mended by the House were nearly
doubled by this Senate. which defeated
a revenue measure and which is in a
fair way to discredit the government
by passing an anti-bond bill. Please
bear in mind that this same Senate
added to the general deficiency bill, ap-
propriating as it left the House 81
1913. 59045 an amount nearly equal, viz,
s4,192. 7os.26. That's only part of the
shameful record of the populistic, free
silverite. Democratic aggregation.

If the Senate, as now seems probable.
passes that bill to prevent the issue of
bonds without the consent Of Congress,
it will be the most mischievous attempt
of many that have been made in that
body within the past few years, since
it became infected with Populism gone
mad and rioting under the license of
Anticipated methods of procedure.
President Cleveland will share largely
in the responsibility for the disgrace.
He provoked it by the high handed and
undetermined manner in which he dick

were scandal and afforded just the
specious arguments desired by the
fanatics for putting into effect their

attached? The country has cause to

In repeating the tariff clause, which
provides for free alcohol used in the
arts. Congress practically admits the
desira bility of such law by appoint
ing a joint committee to investigate the
matter and report Perhaps the claim
of the treasury department that the
free alcohol provision as drafted in the
Wilson bill could not be en-
will recall that the measure was
full of plumbers and Inconsistencies.
Nevertheless it is well established that
the treasury department did not want
to enforce it. In it's desperate need of
more revenue it resorted to every de-
vice even Bowlerism. Secretary Car
Isle did not want to lose the revenue
that would be cut off if he carried into
effect this provision of the law. We
don't believe he ever seriously did his
best to enforce it, but when he de-
clares his inability to comply with its
PROVISIONS there Is no way u nave
them enforced short of removal of the
secretary and appointment of sue
cessor who should honestly endcavor
to enforce the law. This is impossible
at present. The law was not enforced
the claims of importers against the
government, which exacted revenue
when it had announced that it would
not, continued to come in and must be
paid. The administration doesn't care
for the claims will not be paid under its
regime, in all probability, and ii
will have the revenue to use. 1t is
folly to say that law cannot be
drafted that will be capable of enforce
ment. Germany admits alcohol for use
in the arts free. This country should
do the same.
