WANT THEIR MEDALS.


Herr Wermuth, the German commits
sioner to the Worlds Columbian fair
| at Chicago, has renewed his formal
complaints to Washington at the nom
delivery of the medals and diplomas
awarded to exhibitors at the fair.
Those to whom they have been awarded
are indignant. And they have good
cause to be. There have been any num-
Der of excuses given why the medals
and diplomas have not been delivered,
but they have not satisfied those to
whom they were made. 1t is now nearly
two and half years since the fair
closed, but the exhibitors are still wait
ing for their medals. These should have
been ready for distribution as soon as
the awards were made, or very soon
thereafter. They are a recognition of
superior merit and for this reason ex-
hibitors make their display hoping to
get them. If their display has been
such as to merit the award of a medal
or diploma, then those to whom such
award is made are anxious to have
them that they may use them in their
business. To deprive them of the med
ais and diplomas for an unreasonable
length of time, as has been done, is to
do them wrong and work an injury to
the reputation of the country that
withholds them.
This matter of delay in delivering
the medals and diplomas awarded at
the Worlds fair is far from being to
our credit as a business nation,
thing on which we pride ourselves very
much. This has been anything but
business transaction, and the COM
plants of exhibitors are but too we'll
founded and should be needed. Herr
Wermuth's formal complaint should re-
suit in speedy action. They do these
things better in Germany.

REVENUE OFFERED.

That there IS a lack of revenue to
defray all the expenses of the govern
ment, no one will dispute; that there
will be enough revenue as times i'm
prove, many believe. The Republican
press of the country is claiming that
its party, through the house of repre-
sentatives, has proffered the admin
istratiOn an annual revenue of $40 O0O,-
600. Commenting on this, the New
York Commercial Advertiser declares
that this increase has been contemp-
tuously rejected by the president and
his supporters in the senate. With
the help of the Populists and a half
| dozen senators who represent silver
! mines instead of the people of their
respective states, the Democrats have
nullified Republican efforts to place
the treasury on a secure footing. The
country understands perfectly where
the responsibility for this trick Of par
tisan demagogy rests
Such talk is naught but the raving
Of a prejudiced partisan.
The Republican party rendered the
Dingley bill, not s4O,OOO,0OO. That bill
was feeler and fraud from the be-
ginning, nothing more. 1t was hoped
that it would go through the senate
as it did through the house and be
killed by the president, but the hope
was doomed to disappointment Had
it gone to the president and been by
him vetoed it would have fulfilled to
the very letter the mission It's trainers
designed it to perform. It was never
dreamed that 1t would be killed 'fas
dead as julius Caesar" by the senate,
or it never would have been launched
at all. 1t was to be vetoed by Mr..
Cleveland, thus furnishing the Repub-
hcan party with an issue, that issue
protection. The scheme was well
planned, but it went sadly awry.
Nothing could show the hollowness
of the pretense that the bill was de-
signed to raise revenue more than the
rejection of the aid offered by Senator
Allen when he guaranteed enough
Populist votes to pass the bill if the
Republicans would accept a free silver
amendment to it. The proposition was
rejected with scorn.
The Commercial Advertiser does not
refer to this phase of the question,
but goes on to declare that:
If the administration is willing to
protect the public interests it can Sc
cure the financial relief at once by in
structing Democratic senators to CO.
operate with the genuine Republicans
in the senate in rescuing and passing
the house revenue bill.
To which it may be answered that if
the Republican party is willing to
protect the public interests it can Sc
cure financial relief at once by in
structing Republican senators to CO.
operate with the Populists in the SEN
ate in free coinage amendment to
the Dingley revenue" bill.

MARQUETTE STATUE AS AN ISSUE.
It seems that the question of placing
the statue of Jacques Marquette in the
national capitol gives promise of be-
| coming somewhat of an issue, and a
rather serious one, in the politics of
| many members OF the house of repre-
sentatives. This condition of things
arises, of course, from the fact that
the A. P. IS throughout the country
are sending innumerable protests to
congressman against allowing the
statue to remain in the capitol. These
protests are said to be of a stereo-
typed form and appear to emanate
from a central source. Representative
Linton of the Eighth Michigan district
is the champion of those who want the
statue removed Their wants will not
be satisfied, and should not be.
BY many the statue itself is said to
be by far the most beautiful work of
art in statuary hall. Whether it be or
not is a matter of Indifference, but
the statue Of Jacques Marquette, the
Jesuit missionary and explorer, is fast
coming to symbolic religious liberty
If his statue is to be removed from the
national capitol at the dictum of a Sc
cret. oath-bound society, it is full time
that the American people walked up to
the fact that religious intolerance and
not religious liberty is to be the rule
in the United States. There are seven
ty millions of American citizens, and of
that number eight millions profess the
Roman Catholic faith. If the bigoted
and intolerant A. z. A. society could
have its way, these eight million Amer
leans would be prescribed politically.
The rights of the people of this country
are derived through the constitution,
and not through the charter of some
secret society. Certain portions of the
people are forgetting, or have forgot
ten. this fact. The rights of no class
of citizens are superior to those of any
other, nor do they depend upon adj
herence to any church or society.
The A. P. AS have sought to make
an issue out of the Marquette statue.
Let it be made. These self-glorifying
and self-praising patriots overlook Gf
they ever knew the fact that it was
the Catholics of Maryland who first
established perfect religion in the
United States. It is time they studied
the history of their country to know
what Catholic sentiment in America is.

REVENUE FROM A WOOL TARIFF.

The New York Evening Post of re-
cent date has lengthy and most adj
mirabIe article reviewing the figures
on wool and woolens issued by the
! bureau of statistics for the calendar
years 1891 to 1895. So much has been
said recently about the vast revenue a
| duty on wool would give the govern
| ment, while at the same time affording
the wool growers a greatly needed pro-
lection, that we quote that portion of
| the Posts article which has reference
to this matter:
Nor can much be said on the plea
of greater revenue. In 1892, which was
the year of largest imports Of wooden
| manufactures under the Mckinley tar
iff the amount of duties collected was
$36, $685. 39 on valuation of imports of
$37, BOZ ,037. This was equivalent to an
advalorem of 97.36 per cent. In 1895 the
duty collected was $2S, 102. GAS on a value
of imports of S61, 01S. 579-the equivalent
advalorem being 46 per cent. This
shows that with the rate Of duty re-
dueed more than one-half the revenue
was reduced only % per cent. 1t is an
impudent demand to ask congress to
reimpose the high duties on raw woods
to gain a revenue of six or seven mil
lions of dollars, and to increase to an
even greater degree the duties on
manufactures of wool for a similar
sum. AT the end of February the de-
felt IN the national account was only
100000 more than it was at the end of
November. The government is, there
fore, very nearly paying its expenses
out of current revenue, and there is no
reasonable ground for tinkering with
the tariff, and least of all in the direc-
ton of higher duties on raw woods and
manufactures of wool, where the con-
sumner loses two dollars every time the
government gains one.
The wool grower needs no protection,
though he would unquestionably APP
preciate the privilege of taking two
dollars from the consumer every time
the government took one. Some reve-
nue. would be gained by a tariff on
wool, but there is such a thing as pay
ing too much for a whistle. Deriving
revenue from tariff on wool is pay
ing too much for the whistle
