If the prominent Democrats who held
conference Saturday evening and re-
solved to hold a meeting and protest
against silverism had begun a month ago
they could have checked the 16-to-1 cpl
demic. 1t is probable they are too late
to save more than this district, even If
it is not too late to do that. 1t may be
added that these Democrats are simply

Of the business men Of that party in this
city, and of all others who are we'll in

lie welfare. Men by scores in this city
who have always voted the Democratic
ticket and been active in campaigns are
now telling their friends that if the Chi
cago convention declares for free silver
they will not vote its ticket. Some of
the men in the SOUND -money movement
have always regarded Governor Mat
thews's presidential aspirations as a SUBJ

the Third Indiana Cavalry. One or the

There are some things which make one
simply weary and a few things which
make one very tired" One of the latter
is the constant reiteration of the asser-
ton that President Cleveland has done
all that 1t is possible for him TO do to re-
lieve the treasury of its embarrassment.
Some go so far as to say that IL Congress
would accept his advice all would be
well.
In what does the embarrassment Of the
treasury consist? Simply Of the made
quacy of the revenues collected to meet
the current expenditures of the govern
ment. In three years the receipts of the
treasury have not been equal TO the ex-
penditures during more than four
months. Has the President in any mes
sage stated this fact to Congress and adj
vised an increase of the revenues? He
has not: so far from that. he has referred
to the reports of Secretary Carlisle, the
last Of which contains estimates which
make the revenues exceed the expendi-
lures. The President sent special mes
sage to Congress just before the holidays
which was calculated to cause serious
apprehension in business circles, but in
1t he did not admit the continuing def
cheney in the revenues or the necessity
Of increased taxation. In his message
last December he made but one recon-
mendation regarding the national
finances, and that was to redeem the
outstanding greenbacks by issues OF
bonds. 1t was no remedy for treasury
deficiency. Since that time he has sent
Congress the scare message of the
Christmas season.
The Republican House promptly de-
vised two bills. one providing FOR the is
sue Of limited amount Of bonds and
treasury certificates. and another which
would put $40.000G2O a year into the
treasury and rescue the wool-growing
and manufacturing industry. But these
measures were killed or laid up by the
Democrats and Populists and few
alleged Republicans from the silver-pro-
ducing States. II these House measures
had been passed by the Senate and
signed by the President the treasury
difficulties would now be at an end.
Thus, the one practical effort to relieve
the treasury has been made by the Re-
publican House. while the Democratic
President has not so much as suggested
the deficit and the necessity of taxation.
He has gone on selling bonds to get gold
to redeem greenbacks which are used to
meet the current expenses Of the govern
ment. And he has not displayed any
sagacity whatever in putting the bonds
upon the market.
The Journal fails to see any reason for
praising the President for what he has
recommended in view Of the three years
Of treasury deficits. On the other hand,
it protests against the indiscriminate
condemnation Of Congress for doing
nothing when the Republican House had
| made the only practical move to get rid
of treasury deficits

1t is generally believed in Washington
that the President will veto the river and
harbor bill, which is now before him for
action, on the ground of its extrava-
gance On it's face the bill does not ap-
pear to be open to this charge, as 1t car
ries appropriations amounting to about
$72, 5000 OF this amount, however,
only $12.S00.00O are in direct appropria-
tons, while $50, 900 are for carrying
out contracts authorized to be made. AS
the work under these contracts would
be several years in completion, the ap-
preparation would be extended in an
nual parts. In other words, the bulk of
the appropriation is for series Of years.
1t is claimed that the work can be done
to better advantage by letting it out on
contract at the beginning, and there GER
tainly is an advantage in prosecuting
public works continuously after they
have been commenced. The first ques-
ton should be whether the Improvements
provided for in the bill are OF public
utility. If they are not, then any appro-
priation is excessive. If the necessity or
utility of the work Is conceded it is no
more extravagant to appropriate the
whole amount necessary to its compile
work progresses, than it would be to
make partial appropriations year after
year.

A REMARKABLE PERFORMANCE.

Special attention is called to the prop
ositions presented in the Senate as
amendments to the so-called filled-cheese
bill which the House has passed upon
the solicitation of the dairy interests of
the country. Senator Sherman had the
bill in charge. To prevent the prompt
passage of the bill several amendments
were offered. Senator Mills, of Texas, a
free-trade Democrat and Of late rabid

cess Of $4,000 per annum manufactured
by any person, company or corporation

steel, copper, nickel, brass. lead, zinc,
cotton, wool, hemp, silk and flax"
1t is not necessary to dwell upon the
fact that this per cent. tax would come
out of the capital and labor in the United
States, and that it would amountto the
same, so far as production is concerned.
as would the placing of a bonus of
per cent. upon all imported goods. Who
voted for this remarkable proposition to
steel, wool and cotton a per cent. ad-
vantage over the home competitor by
placing per cent. tax on his products?
Here are their names:
Democrats-Bate Berry, Blackburn, Chill
ton. George, Gray, Harris, Jones OF Arkan-
sas, Mills. Pasco, Roach and Vest. Popu-
lists-Allen, Butler AND PETER.
Who are these Democrats? With a

advocates of free and unlimited coinage
Of silver, and with the exception Of Gray,
of Delaware. and Roach, of North Da-
kota, they constitute the intensely Sec
tional North-hating element in the Sem
ate. Several of them are among the
Congress.
At time when the reduced duties Of
the present ad valorem tariff have
opened our markets TO an extent that,
for all textiles, cutlery and the finer
products of the metals, foreign competi-
tors are wrestling them from the home
producer, these men sustain a PROPOSE
ton which would give the outsider an
additional per cent. advantage over the
labor and capital employed in the same
industries in this country. 1t is prop
osition to give those in other countries,
whose competition is now closing fac
tories and curtailing production. bonus

ings banks, and that the disparity in the
proportion Of depositors is not nearly as
great as his table would indicate. But,
leaving that aside, what could be more
ignobk than an attempt to prejudice
Western people against those Of the East
by showing that the latter are industri-
Gus, thrifty. economical and saving?
What could be more contemplate than
an attempt to impute to people their
virtues as a fault? After having cited
his proofs. this writer says: 1T will
sound trifie strange in the West where
money is at times SO scarce and hard to
get, to be told that in some parts Of the
favored East there is on an average a
deposit Of $500 to $500 in banks for every
voter"
There Is good deal of this kind of
writing nowadays. and still more Of this
kind of talk. There is . class of curb

doubtedly 1t has some. it Is wholly bad.
It's object Is to array the people of the
West against those of the East, and to
make them believe that they would be
justified in resorting to almost any
means to get even.'' From this posi-
ton one has not far to go till he begins
to regard a separation of the States as a
legitimate remedy for imaginary wrongs.

seminate such views are fomenters Of
treason. At heart theyfare as bad as

W. B.: Following is the section Of the
United States law under which the recent
arrests in Sullivan were made:
Section 1858. No person shall make, ISSUE
circulate or pay out any note, check, mem
orandum, token or other obligation for a
less sum than one dollar, intended to circu-
late as money or TO be received or used in
lieu OF lawful money of the United States:
and every person SO offending shall be fined
not more than $500. or imprisoned not more
than six months, or both, at the discretion
of the court.
The ALLISON coupon book does not seem
to violate this section inasmuch as 1t is not
intended to circulate as money. but simply
represents credit. If. however. books Of this
kind were issued in payment of wages for
work or labor 1t would be violation Of
State law and would subject the person SO
issuing them to penalty.
