RIVERS AND HARBORS.

We publish elsewhere the message OF
President Cleveland yctoing the River
aud IIarbor appropriation bill which
recently passed congress. 1t is prob
able that in the annual aspirations for
this purpose there have fram time to
time been included items where the
moneys so expended were required for
the public benefit, but that large sums
are expended each year which inure,
solely to the advantage OF the locality
where nsed, cannot be questioned Mill
ions Of dollars of the peoples money are
each year squandered in practi ally use
less, so-called "harbor and river i'm
provements,' in which the public out.
side of the immmediate locality, is not
in the lelst benefited In his veto Of
this bill Mr.. Cleveland has set a pace
that may well be followed and pointed
way that should have been travelled
long ago.

The democratic congress put wool on the
free list and reduced the duties on woolen
goods, thereby losing Sl5.000,toO of revenue and
running the wool industry. put 40 per cent
duty on sugar and by 50 doing is taking S30,
900 goo year out OF the pockets of consumers.
These are few of the reasons why the country
is howling itself hoarse for NJ kinley Albu-
querque Citizen.
II the 80 per cent duty on sugar took
S30,000,0C0 out of the pockets of the con-
sumers, then, by the same course Of
reasoning, the reduction OF the duties
on wool must have left ia the pockets
of the consumers of wooden goods the
$4,000, 900 which represents the extont
of that reduction. Ii it was wrong to
take from the pockets of sugar consum-
ers the amount of the duty then it
must be wrong to impose dnty on any
class of goods consumed by our people.
Therefore. the proposed restoration of
the NJ Kinley tariff would be wrong
many times multiplied. If the Citizen
believes in its own logic, then that paper
must be free trader" Shake, Col
shake. We are inclined that way a
little, too.

DEMOCRACY'S SILVER RECORD

Looking to the votes in congress to
find the Democratic position on the
silver issue it is eusv to prove that the
party is thoroughly committed to free
coinage. Senator CockrelI, who accord
ing to the dictum Of The sound money
organs is not much of democrat, took
the trouble to look up the record some
months ago, and gave out the results Of
his research. In the 44ih cong ess he
found 10 democrats voting for and
only Is against free coinage bill
Another test vote in the sam5 congress
showed 1913 democrats for and II against
a free coinage proposition. In the 5fth
congress s. democratic repre- tsentatives
voted for the Bland free coinage bill and
10 against it. 1t was in that congress
that Stanley Matthews, Republican
senator from Ohio, introduced resoiu-
ton declaring that "al United States
bonds issued under the refunding and
redemption acts of July 4th, 1870, and
January l4th, 1875, respectively, could
be paid at the option If the government

without violation of public faith or in
derogation OF the rights Of public cied.

Senator Cockrell cites the record to
show that in the nate, % democrats
voted for and against the resolution,
while in the other end of the capital, in
the body elected Ivy the people, ll6 dem
ocrats voted AYE and % mo In the
next, the 10th congress-, the Missouri

In the 49th congress a majority of the
democratic ropre entativos voted fol
free coinage, and in the 51st congress q
democratic senators and 1l3 democratic
representatives voted for the Plumb free
coinage bill; democratic senators anG
% democratic representatives voted
against it.
In the 52l congress there were l3S free
silver democrats and but 73 on the other
side.
Senator Cockrell asserts that his sum
mary of the record of the democratic
congressman shows clearly that they
have used their best efforts to restore
blmetaIism, and have. by decisive ma
jorities, voted for the free and unlimited
coinage OF the standard gold dcllar
upon equal terms with gold, every time
it was presented in all these congresses
except only in the last, when il was pro
posed as an amendment to the bill fol
the repeal Of the Sherman law.
