this too thoroughly to be frightened
into a ruthless violation OF national
poncy founded by the fathers of the
republic and rigidly maintained for
more than hundred years. That pol
icy is that no private enterprise, how
ever wide its scope or gigantic it's
strength may be, shall draw its sus-
tenance from the national treasury.
1t is doubtless true, as stated in
Washington dispatches, that President
Mckinley intends to recommend to
Congress in his next message that the
aid asked by the American projectors
of the Nicaraguan canal be granted.
The President has shown a too willing
disposition in other similar matters.
We can argue what his action will be
in this case if he can get what to
timid and easily alarmed minds would
be considered reasonable excuse. Nor
is it doubted that the present House
could be dragooned into giving its
SANCTION to the grab. But the member
ship of the Senate will have undergone
no change in the next Congress. and it
is safe to assume that the Presidential
recommendation would meet it's death
there. The Senate has already given
unmistakable expression to its disap-
prevail Of the scheme, and there is no
likelihood that it would stultify itself
at the behest of Mckinley.
The alarmists, therefore, would as
some other cause and cease believing
about little Japans sinister designs on
the Nicaraguan canal.

$25, 100000. The customs receipts for
August this year were $6,987,7e The
customs receipts for August Of last year
aggregated s12.3 29 ,495.
The total receipts from all sources
during August were SO ,023, GA, and for
the Two months of the present fiscal
year s58,108,7 1S. The total expendi-
lures for the month were $33 ,588,047,
which included nearly S14,000,000 paid

penditures for the fiscal year thus far
have been SS3,5S0, 237. Last year for
the corresponding period the receipts
were $54, 559. 305 and expenditures ST.
700, 144.
These figures are valuable only as
showing the difference between a Dem
ocrat1c revenue tariff and a Republican
protective tariff. The duties levied by
the Dingley bill exceed on an average
those of the Wilson bill nearly 20 per
cent, and yet the deficit under the Ding
ley law surpasses by more than 81 ,O00,-
geo for the first fiscal period that of the
corresponding period of the Wilson law.
! This represents in concrete and unnlis-
| taxable form the difference between
Democratic and Republican govern
ment in the matter of taxation for rev.
/ enue purposes. If the present rate of
| deficit continues, and there is no reason
| to think it will not, it is absolutely GER
tain that the administration will have
! to resort to a bond issue in order to
meet the governments obligations or
| divert from the uses from which they
were intended funds appropriated by
! Congress for river and harbor improve
ments, as suggested by Senator Allison,
one of the fathers of the Dingley bill
in the Senate. This is form Of finan-
ciering not unknown to Republican adj
ministration, but a form which will
never receive the approval of the Amer
lean people. =
Meantime, while this deficit is ,1ling
up, the Infant industries" so ienderly
cared for by the Dingleyits are I'M
derselling England at its own doors
and are driving Germany, Belgium aud
France out of the Orient in sales Of
steel rails and Qtler iron manufactures.
To do thistie whole population of the
United States is taxed without a cent
lncrefse in the wages of labor or the
multiplication of the opportunities for
he employment of labor. A

TIE ERA OF HIGH GOLD PRICES.

Before the winter blasts have ceassd
the present jubilation Of our R9Jubli-
can friends over this years high prices
will be turned to deep lamentations
| AMONG wage earners,
The rise in what will soon be fol-
! lowed by a general increase in the price
OF bread. The victory of the Sugar
Trust ii Republican Congress has al
ready resulted in an increase in the
1nice of sugar. The Leather Trust has
been enabled by the Is per cent duty
of the Dingley bill to put up the prices
of its product so that boots and shoes
will cost from to per cent. more
this year than they cost last year. The
prohibitive tariffs on nearly all lines
of manufactured goods will make
wearing apparel as much more expen-
sive as the increased duy allows. The
trainers of the Dingley iniquity and
sanctioned by the Republican President
will make that absolutely necessary
commodity cost consumers more than
they have had to pay for years, and the
strike of coal miners, even if it could
be settled peaceably and equitably now,
will add to the burdens Of the masses
in the large centers who must have
cheap fuel or freeze to death in winter.
In brief, the entire list of necessaries
will soon be marked up to figures that
they could not reach under a just sys-
TEN of taxation in which the operations
of the natural laws of trade and COM
merce are hampered or interfered with
no more than the actual necessities Of
government demand. Wage earners
of all grades will be brought face to
face with the anomalous economic con-
dition of an increase in their cost of
living without hope of a corresponding
increase of their wage to meet the ex-
ira cost. The multiplication of tariff
trusts and monopolies in all the sub
stantial commodities which determine
market values is a guarantee that the
general wage scale will go down event
ually, though it may remain station
airy for a time. One of the essential
elements of the cheapening process of
production which trusts promote is the
lowering Of the wage scale. As COM
petition in production is smothered
and the market narrowed, the COMPETE
ton in labor increases to that point
where the employer can make himself
absolute master of the labor market
as well as Of supply.
Salaries and wages in all the fields
Of employment have been at low ebb
during the period of Industrial depres-
sion. Generally speaking, employees
have been receiving only enough for
bare subsistence. How can they stand
the increased cost Of living i,7n>ead
by the Dingley bill? Perhaps some
defender Of that atrecity can give an
answer that viii quiet the present
growing apprehension among wage
earners that they are to face unprece-
IDENTIFY hard conditions this winter.

THE FOOLISH GDLDRUGS.

Mr. Bryan cannot open his mouth
these days without throwing the gold
bug press of the country into series
of severe fits. The audacious manner
in which that press is now misrepre-
senting his latest utterance showing
beyond peradventure what every sane
person knows, namely that the extra
ordinary conditions which have caused
"dollar wheat" have no bearing or ap-
plication, whatever, on the question Of
the right and justice of the demand for
free coinage of silver, is simply laugh
able to those who have read Mr.. Bry-
ans splendid article and appreciate the
clearness and force Of his reasoning.
The trouble with the goldbug press is
that it knocks the props from under
their false plea that the mere failure
of crops abroad by which this country
will benefit to a certain extent is an ar
gument why this country should not
rectify the crime of '73 and place silver
on its constitutional basis with gold as
a money metal.
The rash assertions the Republican
press is now making regarding this sill
ver-wheat business will come home
to them in flock next year when there
is a likelihood that Europe and the
rest of the world will have normal
crops and wheat will fall to its old-time
gold price.

work in our beloved order has en-
deared him to each Of our hearts;

Resolved, That while we bow to the
will Of our Supreme Divine Ruler in
| calling Brother Hirst home to heaven,
that our deepest sympathy be extended
to his family, ever praying that God
may shield them from the storms of

us and in his death left us an example
of a pure life. And as we mark the

Plutocrat Hanna has started on a
new tack in his campaign. All his
opponents, he says, are crazy. Col.
A. L. Conger, who told CT Hanna's
treachery to Foraker and the party in
1889, is set down by Hanna as crazy
Because poor old Sherman has de-
clined to be Hanna's tool, the report is
started that Sherman is crazy. One Of
Hanna's stock arguments against the
six and half millions of people who
voted for Mr.. Bryan last fall is that
they are lunatics and anarchists.
Pretty soon, according to Hanna, there
will be only one sane man on the whole
American continent, and he will be a
mighty mad one when the Ohio re-
turns come in.

The price Of silver is regulated by
the demand, the same as wheat. or
any other commodity. With the minis
of the world shut against silver. the
demand amounts to nothing. and the
price is correspondingiy low. Open
the minis to it, and the price would
jump to 100 cents on the dollar in a
day. Shut the doors of all nations to
wheat, and it would be drug in the
market at cents a bushel

The exhibit is full and complete, and
shows a line of buggies and carriages,
and almost every sort of agricultural
implement needed On the farm. This
house is prepared to furnish any
machinery needed at the very lowest
market prices, and to also furnish none
but those machines which have stood
the test of actual use, and are recon-
mended by farmers generally through
out the country.
Among the implements for which
Mr.. Dudley has secured the agency in
this city are the Deering corn har-
vester, Sterling's corn shredder, Small
leys cutter, Crown drill, South Bend
ploWs, and Studebaker wagons.
