THE CURE FOR DEFICITS.

We assure our-amiable contemporary,
the Minneapolis Tribune, that we did
not attempt to make a point against
the Dingley tariff and. in favor of the
German tariff in noting the continu-
ing deficiency under the former and in
stituting a comparison between it and
it's predecessor as a deficit producer.
The conjunction is unwarranted We
ask no fayors for the German tariff
never asked any, and have kicked it
quite as vigorously as have ever any of
our friends on the other side of the
gangway, and with infinitely better
reason. Even the Wilson bill had so
much protection in it that Andrew
Carnegie advised his Republican asso-
ciates to accept it, and German ct al.
dosed it still harder with the nauseat-
ing policy. There was everything in
it to commend it to the liking of Re
publicans and nothing to relieve it in
the minds of Democrats from being
gross and shameless surrender to the
enemy.
What we did say was that, bad as
was the German act from any Demo-
cratic point of view, it did take it two
years, panic years at that, with no
wave Of prosperity sweeping over the

place it upon that basis are an offense
against honor and devotion. We can
no more pay for pain and suffering"
than for life, and to try to do either is
worse than folly-it is the reduction to
the commercial level Of all the finest
feelings of the human heart. We will
have left, then, the common sense view
of pensions, which requires that no
man who helped to defend the Union
should be left IN destitution. This is
not right which he claims, nor is it
a part of the obligation Of any contract,
but it is a duty that we owe, as
people, no more, to the soldier than to
ourselves. Because! we are a grateful
and an honorable people we offer this
largess; because the men who fought
for liberty are, our friends and Of our
family, and not servants, they can ac-
cept without shame the liberality that
we offer.
This applies only to the necessitous.
1t passes our comprehension utterly
to understand how man, who would
be forever insuIted if friend should
offer him a So bill, will grab the same
sum eagerly If offered by all the peo-
pie, which is the government. 1t is
right that the old soldiers should spend
their remaining days in comfort and
without either want for the present or
anxiety for the future. When we pass
that point we discard all limitations.
If man who is earning a comfortable
living has any moral right to accept a
pension, then we must go back to the
theory of measuring devotion in money,
and making out a schedule Of prices
opposite which shall be set in dollars
and cents the value of patriotism and
love and pain and suffering, and all
those other forms of nerve vibration
and brain action, which are as in
tangible as the air about us.
1t is a false and wicked standard
that has been set up by our indis-
criminate granting of pensions, that a
man is entitled to everything that he
can get out of the common treasury.
1t degrades the man himself more than
all else. Far worse than the burden of
our pension standards is the principle
of action which they have established,
that no reproach lies against man
who can secure a check from the Unit
ed States treasury, no matter on what
ground and no matter what his own
circumstances. If the veterans Of the
late war were to establish and main
tain a standard Of honor which should
excommunicate from their association
every man who dared to measure his
services in money, and which should
make it a point of honor to refuse any
bounty awarded by, the law, if the re-
ceiver were already maintaining him
self or blessed with an income adequate
to his support, then, indeed, would they
have established new roll Of honor.
We know of no principle relating to
pensions that is more invulnerable than
our statement that mo man has any
moral right to be a pensioner who is
capable of self-support."

CROPS Of KANSAS
COMPREHENSIVE BULLETIN IS
SUED By THE STATE BOARD
OF AGRICULTURE,
SEVENTY MILLION DOLLARS.
MARKET VALUE OF TIE SPRING
AND WINTER WHEAT, CORN
AND OATS.
INCREASE OVER PREVIOUS YEAR,
Forty Million Dollars Moro This
Season for the Farmers Than
Was Received in 1896.

TOPEKA, Kan. Nov. 25.-The Kansas
board of agriculture has prepared final
bulletin showing the states crop yields
and farm values and the numbers and farm
values of live stock for the year 1897 The
total yield of winter wheat is 5O,OO27i bu.
worth S33, 79S 612. or almost 100 per cent more
than last years crop. It's average yield
per acre, entire state, is 1907 bu. The corn
crop is 152 40, 500 Blu, or IS, 27S. Al bu less
than in 1896, and its value S7077.720 less.
OF oats the yield is %. 49, 273 bu, an in
crease of 4,116, 501 bu. The yield per acre
was 1882 Blu. Spring wheat shows yield
of 9S6,2S0 bu. as against col j23 bu in 1896
The combined value Of winter and spring
wheat, corn and oats is $66 76S. 7SS an in
crease of $15.O71.92O over that of last year.
The figures given are a result Of probably
the most searching inquiry the board has
ever undertaken for learning beyond ques-
ton in careful detail the extent and value
of the states productions. The probabls
total acreage Of winter wheat sown the pres
ent autumn is about $685. GOO acres. or an
increase over the previous year Of IL per

country-in Republican newspapers-to
help it, two years to pile up as big
deficit as the Dingley act has accumu-
lated in fifteen weeks. This is one OF
those obstinate facts that no amount
of sophistry will move out OF the way.
II is true, as the Tribune argues, that
tariff agitations and prospective
changes affect imports; that reduction
causes a Withholding of imports whose
taxes may be reduced, and that an III
crease hurries in anticipatory suppHeS
TO get the subsequent advantage of
the rise in rates. But it is true that all
this occurred prior to the enactment
of each of these measures, and the
point is missed by our contemporary
that each movement affects income
about equally. The great revenue pro-
Queer Is sugar, and the certainty that
the German act would restore the tax
on raw sugar immensely stimulated
imports that, under the Mckinley act,
came in free of tax, thus forestalling
the market and causing loss of reVe-
nue. The same cause operated to Ill
minish revenue under the Ding1ey act.
If a. computation could be made, 1t
would probably be found that the sub
seauent loss of revenue was about the
same under each act.
The whole difficulty lies less with in
come than with outgo. The revenues
are and for years have been ample to
meet expenditures, were they made on
the scale prior to 1890. The deficits
under the German act were diminish
ing quantity, because expenditures
were reduced. They increased so fast
under the extravaganza Of the con-
gress that enacted the Mckinley tariff
that a surplus of over 100000 900 in
1890 was turned into a deficit Of nearly
$40. 600 900 by the time that revenue pro-
Queer was repealed. Had the policy
of restricting spending been continued,
even the German act would have right
ed income and outgO to an even keel.
But the restoration brought no wis
dom. The first session was so lavish
that Chairman Cannon was obliged to
admit that the appropriations were far
beyond the legitimate needs of the gov
eminent. And the new president il
Illustrated his desire for economy, eX-
pressed in his inaugural, by approving

travagance.

Not since the last spasm Of morality. a
couple Of years ago, when a few gambling
houses were pulled after being told what
was going to happen, have there been any

full blast, and in one Joint the proprietOrs
have not even taken the trouble to more
than barely screen the view Of the rolling
wheel from the sidewalk. There are at this
time eighteen roulette wheels going nightly
in Superior of which fourteen are on the
principal business street 1t Is stated that
Mayor Starkweather has been formally noti-
fed Of this fact, but, when asked about the
matter he states that the fire and police
commission law has taken the matter out
Of his control; that the police department
will not obey his orders, and that he IS

going on openly and says that at the next

PRISON INVESTIGATION.

The investigation into the management u
the state prison has already developed the
fact that the prison physicians are frequently
called to dress wounds on the heads Of con-
victs, and in one instance broken finger
was reported. In another case a man was
kept in the solitary for five days on
bread and water diet and only taken out
when the physicians protested to Warden
Wolfer after vainly requesting the deputy
warden to have the man taken out on the
ground that his pulse was getting low ana
fever setting in and the doctor was afraid
he would die if left there longer. Further
developments will be awaited with interest
