Washington, November 29.-The
forthcoming November statements of
the government receipts and eXpendi-
lures will show that the receipts dur
ing November so far have reached
So, 95CS90, which indicates total of
about 25,000,000 for the month. This
is a trifing iprovement over October,
when the receipts were S24 1911 AS.
The deficit thus far during November
stands at SS,572, 109, which is larger
than was expected.
The deficit for the fiscal year stands
at $46,581 ,120, the receipts having been
1921, 701 100 and the expenditures STA
2S2,2S0. The receipts from customs so
far this fiscal year undoubtedly will fall
considerably short of the estimaes
made by the managers of the new tariff
bill during its tendency in Congress.
At that time it was estimated that GUS
toms would yield about $4,000 COO
during the first year. The indications
now are said to be that the receipts
from this source will not aggregate
more that S165 900 900.

Patriotism VS.. ID ,llaru.

We talk much of our patriotism and
felicitatc ourselves that the country is
paramount always to selfish desire.
But once in awhile we have this con-
ceit rudy shaken out of us as was done
by Mayor Swift at the Methodist Social
Union banquet in Chicago the other
night.
Here is what he said:
"Once in my haste said to myself,
There is no unselfish public spirit in
this city, but l reflected that during
the two years of my official term had
met perhaps not exceeding GO,OO0 or
10000 persons at my Office, and am
willing to concede the other 1,725,OO
are the unsclflsh citizens Of this city.
ut has required all my optimism to
retain any belief in the existence ofany
loyalty to Chicago where self-interest
interviewed There is not plank in
the platform upon which l run for
the mayors Office, and that which /
later bulded for myself, which bust
ness men of this city have not impor-
tuned Inc to set aside for the sake Of
individual interest
"A Methodist minister came to my
office aud asked: Has a Methodist
any pull with the Administrations !
was astonished. lie explained he was
interested in large building and
wanted to make some additions. For
want of space he desired to locate the
boilers in public alley
81 told him that was contrary TO the
city ordinances and recommended him
to go to his alderman. He asked me If
would sign the ordinance If it were
passed, and / said No. lie denounced
this as an outrage, saying he was q

power and avarice, are now making
upon them.
II is not alone the duty TO our conu-
try which impels thoughtful people to
resist the insidious efforts which are
being made to concentrate all power
in the hands Of organized wealth and
the subversion OF our democratic-re-
publican form of government, aud the
rule of a plutocracy by corruption, but
it is duty which Americans owe 70
the world, to free it from the evils
which our ignorance and indifference
have in recent years Inflicted upon it
The single gold standard which is
the effective instrument for the subju-
CATION OF the people and for the con-
centration of wealth, could never
have been consummated but tor
American concurrence nor can it be
maintained without the support of our
country.
This is we'll understood in Europe,
hence the efforts made by the bourses
of Europe, controlled by few great
bankers, to prevent adverse action
hence, even by the contribution of funds
to control our public. press, and our
conventions, and elections.
PERSISTENCE to tyrants is obedience
to God" The tyranny OF wealth cor
rupting and thus controlling the vehic-
les of public information, the printing
press and the telegraph, and pursuing
to ruin every citizen who for love of
country and humanity resists their
power, is the most odious form of all
tyrany. If there be not virtue enough
left in the great middle class of our
people to meet this crisis in our affairs
and throw of the yoke of oppression
and curb the corporations and trusts
which now SO arrogantly defy public
opinion and law, then indeed,the down.
fall of our own liberties is assured.
But, we need not dispalr. The lesson
of recent years, and the discipline Of
adversary isproduciug its effect upon
people who are slow to think and
slower to act, and the question 'whith'
er are we drifting" is coming home to
the minds of ever increasing numbers.
The fearful increase of crime, and its
added import of taxation, and the open
resistance of the very wealthy to tax
upon incomes, and their evasion of tax
alton upon personal property, are sub
jects to which public attention is being
directed as never BEFORE. w. Por'
ter, in Silver Knight-Watchman.

Where tho Trouble Lies

The Chicago city council is discuss
ing the question of ways and means
for doing away with the great depart
ment stores which are crushing out
the little merchants scattered over the
city. 1t is expected the legislature at
Springfield will be called upon to pass
laws for the restriction and control In
all of which the promoters of this agi-
tatiou show how little they apprehend
the real source Of all the trouble.
Among the great stores in Chicago
is the Fair" which occupies an entire
half-block, very centrally located. For
a portion of this block (GOx10s feet OF
it, the owners of the Fair" have con-
tracted to pay for ninety-nine years
the sum of $50, 900 year, and to erect a
building to cost 5000, 900, which at the
expiration of the lease shall revert to
the holders of the fee. What legislation
can reach the case when the laws up
hold the fee owner in such extortions
as that? And how can the owners of
this emporium do anything else but
run department store so large that
business enough may be done to meet
this tremendous fixed charge?
Where is the source of the trouble?
In a system which permits private
monopoly of the great privileges which
exist in the land in all the trade CEN
tiers. Vino gets the benefit? Certainly
not the city, for Chicago today needs
SEQ, OOO,OOO for needed improvements
The landlord-the lord of the land
absorbs every penny Of increment, and
the lords of the land, by standing to-
gether in combination, holds up
the ground rentals to point where
only those already millionaires can pay
them, thus making it possible for the
rich to grow richer while the door OF
opportunity is closed forever in the
faces of the poor!
1t will pay the law makers, and the
men who make the law makers. to
study up this question little.-Farm.

If the reported differential Of one
eighth of cent per pound given, the
sugar trust in the sugar schedule of
the new tariff bill is allowed to stand
and is approved by the President, Mr..
Mckinley would as well take back all
he has said with regard to the opposi-
ton of his administration to trusts
and the republican organs may make
quick meal of their bold assertions
with regard to the smashing OF the
trusts by the republicans
The revenue plea may be accepted
with regard to the tax on raw sugar,
but the differential on the refined
sugar is tax for the benefit of the
sugar trust and cannot be twisted into
any other Interpretation. The tax
laid on sugar is reported to be l 5-s per
pound, of which l-s is a differential in
favor of the trust. 1t simply means
that much advantage is given the trust
over foreign competitors and that 1t
can add that much to the price OF
sugar sold TO consumers. 1t 10 eSti'
mated from the consumption of sugar
that the advantage will be worth about
81, 900, 900 a yenr, which it will, with
the aid and consent Of congress, pick
from the pockets Of the American peo
pie.
If the first legislation of the Nc
Kinley administration coufers the rob
Der privilege ON one Of the most pow
erful and abominable of the Cypress
sive combines, there need be no further
discussion of the attitude of Mckinley
and his party towards the trusts. The

The national bankers, who were sl-
most a unite for Mckinley in the last
presidential election, says the New
York News, have n new scheme for
supplying the country with sound
currency" or, rather, it is an old
scheme picked out Of cellar of finan-
cial rubbish and given busting and

iliar one that the government shall
Ego out Of the banking business" by
undertaking to print all the currency
the banks may want and giving it to
them in exchange for interest bear
ing bonds whenever they can loan it TO
the people at 3 profit and taking 1t
back when business is dull, and then
paying them the interest on the bonds.
The scheme in this form has advan-
tages. From the national bankers
standpoint, over the other one-that
the notes OF the banks shall replace
the greenbaeks entirely. In the first
place 1t would put the government in
the position Of pawnbroker for the ex-
elusive benefit Of the banks It would
have to keep an iudeanate amount of
paper money always on hand 70 give
to the banks whenever they want It
on the bonds. They would only want

And from Boston comes word that in
that city exists "one of the greatest
corners on wool ever attempted in an.
ticipation Of the restoration of tariff

"The syndicate has raised a pile of
money, and only a few days ago caBled
50, 900, 900 to its london agents. It is
calculated that 1000, 900 bales OF Aus.
tralian and South American wool
will be brought to this country before
the new tariff bill is passed. and
as each bale averages 500 pounds
it means 500, 100000 pounds of wool
and if the duty be placed st 10 cents
per pound the syndicate is bound to
clear $50, 600, 900. which will come out
of the consumer later on" Which is
one of the inevitable concomitants Of

The news thatMr. Mark A. Hanna
who teralded Mr.. Mckinley as the ad-
vance ngent of prosperity, has forced

SAID wee en- vac option ~ FiBMAnB
the contract or refusing 70 work, and
they signed IL rather than see their
families starve. They had been ex-
pecting to get rs cents atom.
Now, If any other employer except
Mr.. Hanna had compelled his men to
sign contract to accept the lowest
rate Of wages for the next 70 months,
the fact would have been interesting
but 1t would have possessed no public
importance. But Mr.. Hanna is known
and recognized everywhere rs the
drum major of the republican process
ion. He caused Mr.. Mckinley to be
nominaed by declaring in the west
that his candidate was for projection
and bimetallism, and in the east that
Mr.. Mckinley was for gold and a fair
~ reasonable amount Of protection.
The nomination was made accord
ingly, and when the campaign was un-
der way Mr. Hanna declared that Mr.
Mckinley was "the advance agent Of
prosperity" All the orators and or
gans took it up and hailed the Ohio
major as "the advance agent of pros
perity. Mr.. Mckinley himself, accept
ing the title with smile, announced
that he and his republican friends
would ''open the mills to labor" and,
by .,'raising the prices Of manufac-
tured products, make better markets
for the farmers" On numbers Of Oc-
casious he asked the crowds that as
sembled at the front door; "Have the
democrats made you rich? Well, put
your trust in the republican party.
We know how to make the people pros
porous"
Now, the question arises, and it is q
very serious one, does Mr.. Hanna be-
lieve that Mr.. Mckinley is really the
advance agent of prosperity? Does he
really think that the republican party
can restore prosperity If SO, it is in
decd passing strange that he should
bind workmen in his employ to accept
starvation wages for IL months. Did
Mr.. Hanna realize, when he set about
this business Of compelling the unfor'
tunate miners in his employ to bind
themselves to accept panic wages for
another IL months, that his position as
the great drum major of the repuhli-
can jubilee band would leave a horri-
bly, bad taste in the mouth OF the pub
lie? Or did he feel that his great feat
of electing Mckinley gave him the
right to apply the screws to the en-
ployees?
There is but one reasonable infer
ence 10 be drawn from Mr.. Hanna's
action in this matter. He knows that
the republican programme will not re-
store prosperity, and he is taking
time by the forlocl1. He knows thai
the depression now prevailing viii
grow deeper, and he therefore makes
haste to protect himself by compelling
his miners to accept starvation wages
for the next 10 months.
And is this the answer that the
great republican manager gives tc
the hopes and expectations of the PEG
pie?
Meanwhile We hope Mr.. Hanna is
mistaken in his private views. We
hope the republicans will restore
prosperity before the year is out.

when the demand for IL at high rates
has passed, they wish to enjoy the
privilege Of returning Il and getting
the bonds back and collecting the In
terest on them.
The national bankers are privileged

Sound currency" scheme would. make
them the envy Of all other monopolists

would simply shoulder all their pres
emit risks Of loss from dull business on

so much capital, they would have to
take no chances whatever on profits.
The government-thst is, the people
would have to pay them interest when
ever they could not get more elsewhere
And when they could, why it would
have to stand behind them and give
them all the notes in exchange for the
bonds that they may ask for.
What would be thought Of proposal
to pay the clothing manufacturers, for
instance, interest on the capital they
have put into coats which they cannot

Corn also at present prices makes
man an object lesson, in the line
of financial schooling. Take for
instance the cost of running our state
government, which as shown by the
Sentinel, Is So, 400, 1850 per year. To
pay this in corn at present prices, 81
per ton, would require sos, 100 tons of
corn. A ton Of corn in the ear makes
q big wagon load, and teams with
wagons loaded with corn, driven one to
each four rods of road, are as close to-
gether as they should be driven,
which would give US eighty tons Of
corn to the mile, in train Of farmers
teams loaded with corn. This at 81
per ton will make team train load of
corn worth 81 per rod, or $500 per mile;
and, it would require 1868 miles of
teams loaded with corn to pay the an
nual cost of our state government 1t
is said that figures won't lie, but it
bothers a man TO believe the above
statement But II we add to our an
nual state expenees, the county, town,

adverse to the petition Of Mrs. Helen
Cougar who brought test case TO de-
termine whether under the laws of In
diana woman is entitled to the right of
suffrage.
The court holds that suffrage is not
right but privilege, conferred by the
state for the good Of the state and not
for the benefit of the individual; also
that the authority to extend the right
of suffrage rests with the people and
not with the courts.
The decision of the court concludes
as follows
ave are not prepared to say under
the existing conditions, considering
the marked intellectual advancement
Of women since the adoption of the
present Constitution, that the elective
franchise should not be given them.
There are many questions to be set
tied By the ballot which would enlarge
the sphere of freedom; would advance
the morals and tighten the burdens OF
humanity; would redeem homes from
the wrecling influence Of incompetence
and would stay the mad pace Of parti
san bias and corruption. But to what
extent the ballot in the hands of woman
would tend to increase or destroy their
present great influence in the affairs
Of man, the home, and the state, can
not be known in advance of the exper-
ment.
