Tariff, Not Silver, The Cause.

There is deficit of S4,000,0OO i'll the
treasury accounts for May, and of $780,
600, 600 for so much of the fiscal year as
has elapsed. And yet the administration
clings, or makes pretense of clinging, to
a belief that the country "does not need
more revenue If the revenue OF the
country is sufficient to meet its expenses,
how is it that there is deficit: Deficit
can come only by two roads, one is that
of revenue insufficient TO meet leglti-
mate expenses, the other is that of theft
from revenue which would be sutli-
Gent if honestly administered There
is no charge or suspicion of theft from
the treasury The solitary exemption
from national disgrace under President
Cleveland's administration is that the
integrity of no high official has been
Inundated by the cowardice and the
snobbishncss of the Presidents foreign
policy, and we have been Impoverished
by the blunders of his domestic policy,
but we have been spared the disgrace of
thieving officials. The treasury deficit
is the result of insufficient revenue, and
nothing else
Nor can il be held as a sound eXplana-
ton of the revenue deficiency that the
unsettled state Of the currency creates Il
lack of confidence The status of the cur
rency in 1896 is in no wise different
from that of 1891, and 1892, and III
those years there We're abundant trade
and abundant revenue. Moreover, 1t Is
recorded that the treasury receipts from
beer, tobacco, wines, and spirits are
keeping close to their usual amounts;
the deficit is not due to great shrinkage
of internal revenue. 1t is because Gus

because we are admitting duty free, or

paving millions OF gold to Europe for

70 wave old GLORY,
Chairman Hanna Names October
81 Flag Day for Loyal
Republicans.
DUTY OF PATRIOTIC CITIZENS,
Recognition Of the Fact that the
Party is Fighting for Ma
tional Honor.

One does not have to 90 very far to
seek the reason for the profuse display
of the national emblem in this campaign.
1t can be found in the Chicago platform.
The spontaneity of its selection as the
appropriate badge of sound money cham
pions is wonderfully significant. There
seems to have been little inclination on
the part of Mr.. Bryan's followers to
question the right Of the advocates of
sound money and protection to display
the national colors as the proper insignia
Of their cause. The only lamentation
heard was the Altgeldian wall, which
stripes are flung to the breeze.
The rivalry as to who could make the
most lavish display Of the national m
blem has been confined to the ranks Of
the supporters of Mckinley. There has
been no perccptible effort on the part Of
the Popocrats to wrest it from those
who are fighting to maintain the ma
eral assent to the proposition that the
flag does not so with the Chicago plat
form
This tacit recognition of the fact that
the flag is the one suitable emblem of the
issues for which our party is contending
IL something new in our American poll
ties. Heretofore there has been a pa
trlOIlC TlvaEly eIW0e the 0epuDllcaN rs
and the Democrats in our national CAM
paigns as to which side could make most
profuse display of the stars and stripes.
1t is a circumstance that will mean much
to loyal friends of good government and
will be a potential factor at the polls in
November.
Recognizing this fact, Chairman Han.
ma of the national committee suggests
that October 81. the Saturday before
election, be observed as flag day" in
every city and town. on which day every
person who intends to vote for sound
money and national prosperity shall dis
play the national colors from his home
and his place of business. The sugges.
ton is n most commendable one and
should meet with an enthusiastic re-
Spouse all over the nation.
Let every man who intends to vote for
the preservation of our national honor
signify his patriotic intention by dis
playing a flag on Saturday, October 81.
1t will be a significant object lesson in
patriotism to hundreds of thousands who
may be wavering between sound money
and reputation.
Remember the day-Saturday, October

own retail prices show the enormous re-

statement in full is as follows:
Farm machinery is not only very
much cheaper but far more efficient at
the present time than it was in 1873.
There is hardly any comparison between
the two. The harvesters and binders
which now harvest the great wheat crops
of this country and Europe. were not
known until 1873, but the best of farm
implements and machinery made in 1873,
when compared with those made in 1896
by the leading manufacturers of the
country, would look coarse and cumber-
some and would not be purchased and
used by any farmers at the present time
at any price.
The difference in retail prices Is also
