crowded with loyal devOtees who would
show their respect by contributing their

discussion in the senate, where every
financial heresy has an advocate among
the republicans or their populist allies,
the expected happened when Secretary
Carlisle made his latest issue of bonds.
Time and time again President Cleve-
land has given the country the most
positive assurance that he would under
any and all circumstances maintain
the public credit by maintaining the
gold reserve. When impending tinan-
cial disaster became sufficiently proba-
BILE to make delay hazardous, the prom
Use was made good. A four per cent.
bond alone could be issued under exist
ing law. verything that would tend
to popularize it has been done and pro-
vision is made for the issuance OF bonds
Under a new law should it be provided
in time to make such step practicable.
The pledge of the administration has
been carried out as matter of safety.
The course OF the republican party with
the radical difference of sentiment that
has asserted itself in the senate, has not
been such as to create faith at home or
IN the financial world. The people,
whose most vital interests are at stake,
will not consent that partisanship shall
prevail to jeopardize public and private
credit. Thus far the majority in con-
gress has impressed the country with
a conviction that there are divided
councils and greater efforts for faction
al advantage than for the general good.
It is a matter for the heartiest con-
graduation that there is a strong adj
nli.1istration to meet the dangers with
which congress is showing itself in
competent to cope.-Detroit Free Press.

The republicans are again in con-
troll in congress, but the tenure of their
power will depend on the character of
their stewardship. If they fail to meet
the Just requirements of all intelligent
and patriotic people the next election
will result in their overwhelming de-
feat and condemnation. The claims
that bind voters to party are no longer
steel or iron, and the first exhibition OF
seIfshness in legislation will provoke

man caught sight of the other, butwhen
he did leaned forward and inquired;
"Hain't you the Teller met in Albany
last fall-feIler who got mad because
j stepped on his toes and said he could
lick me in two minutes?'
Il never saw you before, SIR replied
the other, with good deal of dignity.
Then you hain't the feller"
NO, SIR
"Mebbe I'm mistaken, but 1 can't
hardly believe it. He was short and
fat, same as you are-had a bald head
and was bow-legged-and he chewed
gum all the time he was sassin' me-"
.'Are you talking to me, sir?' shouted
the fat man, as he sprang up with
clinched fists.
.Yes. sir, 1 am. If you hain't the

Nobody intends to insult you. say

asked:

to say or do to him.
eff he's the man who said he could
lick me in two minutes?"
"YeS."
"Wan, I jest wanted to say that he
was mistaken. I've had some different

Trust Agents Manipulating the Republican

Gar Reeds party in congress is
about to treat the country to one of
the most unique specimens of tariff
ti1tlering ever witnessed. Lobbyists of
various interests are gathering at the
federal capital, like vultures at the
odor of carrion. They come from near
and far to give counsel to the law
makers about what industry should be
protected by higher duties, and to
show cause why the ones they are re-
tanned to look after are the most i'm
portant and deserving in the land. The
wool man, the sugar man, the iron
man, the tin man, the coal man-will
all shout themselves hoarse trying to
prove their rights to thrust their arms
into the peoples pockets and rob them
right and left.
The national lawmakers, under this
Indictment, if not naturally, will be-
gin at once to "root'' for home in
terests. They will not care a "rap"
fer increasing the revenues of Uncle
Sam s40,000,000 a year. Each con-
gresham will try to tickle his own
constituency, to fix up his fences for
reelection.
And this tariff t;nkering will go on,
engineered by Mr.. Reeds party for the
benefit Of plutocratic monopolists, I'M

Republican Rottenness In the Present
CONGRESS-.

Republican Rottenness In the Present
Congress.
Congress has been in session but a
short time, yet brief review is neces-
sary to fair and intelligent under
standing of the present situation.
When Speaker Reed accepted his pres
ent position he said among other things,
that 1--WE must, above all things, avoid
crude and hasty legislation" No one
has ever credited Mr.. Reed with the
breadth and depth of great states
man. His previous record has made
him notorious as man who would
compass his ends at almost any cost,
but there was belief that he would
appreciate the opportunities opened to
him as an avowed presidential candi-
date and pursue that course of conduct
which would merit the approval of all
who are without selfish interests to
serve. But despite his pronouncement
against crude and hasty legislation and
the dictates of policy as affecting his
political prospects, he has promoted
most disastrous course of Legislative
proceeding.
An obsequious committee or ways
ana means whipped through the house,
after a discussion of three hours and
forty minutes, a tariff bill covering
more than 5000 articles of import.
With a like want of consideration there
was rushed through financial meas
ure providing for large government
loans and purporting to relieve the
treasury of grave embarrassments.T The
tariff measure is an arrant imposture,
intended not to raise 100000 of
revenue as pretended, but to gain firm
er hold upon the element of wealth
within the party for which its sinews
OF war are derived. So far as can be
gathered from the evidence obtaina-
bic, the financial bill, instead OF afford
ing any permanent relief to the treas
ury by its issue of "coin" bonds at
three per cent. interest and for the
prevention of the retirement of the
greenbacks, was intended chiefly to
conciliate the bonanza miners and the
champions of fiat money.
In view of these facts as well as of
the further fact that the measures re-
ferred to are to be the subject of long

ITS EFFECT ON wooLEns.
The Republican Tarin Policy Is Fatal TO

The Republican Tariff Policy Is Fatal to
Business.
We have shown how the tariff policy
of the republican party, as expressed by
the bill recently passed, would increase
the cost of wooden goods, both foreign
and domestic, to consumers. The bill
calls for an addition of about 80 per
cent. to the cost of foreign woolens
until August i, 1898, and the party
leaders openly promise to make a fur
Their increase at that time if they shall
have the power to make it. On the
other hand, they would increase the
cost of domestic woolens now by add
ing 4211s per cent. to the cost of the raw
material, with the understanding that
they intend to add about 80 per cent.
more by and by.
We invite the attention of American
manufacturers of woolens to the effect
of such a policy. They have been using
great quantities of wool, both foreign
and domestic, during the last II months.
woods of the world free of tariff tax.
They have imported more than 1885,
oOO, 900 pounds of clothing woods. Hav-
ing set out to adapt their industry TO
the new conditions and to take adj
vantage of them, they are now threat
ened by the republican party with the
imposition in the near future (if the
house bill should or could become a
law of n duty which would increase
the cost of such wool by 42h per cent,
or from an average of 15h cents to
about % cents a pound, and with ''com-
pensation" amounting to about 80 per
cent. of the value of foreign woolens.
1t is openly proclaimed. moreover.
by the republican leaders that they
would prefer now to impose duty
which would increase the cost price OF
such wool from 1914 cents to 26a cents
pound, and the promise is clearly
made that they will impose this addi-
tional tax in 1898 if they shall then con-
troll the government.
That is to say, the republican policy,
as affecting the American manufacture
ers of woolens, is to take the manu-
facturers' raw material from the free
list now and tax it for 42h per cent.
for two years, and at the end of the two
