TO BUNkO THE PEOPLE.
The ssSound Money scheme of the
republicans

The great cry of the republican party
during the campaign was for sound
money" 1t declared that the question
should be placed beyond controversy.
1t had dallied for month after month
with other questions, and has finally
been checkmated in this attempt to
enact a parliamentary fraud upon the
people. All this, too, in view OF the
fact that the money question is re-
garded as the greatest which has come
before the country in its century OF
existence. Even after Adjournment of
congress. Secretary Gage, speaking for
the republican party and as the head of
the treasury portfolio, which is the
business bureau of the government. de-
clared that the tariff issue was in
fnitesimal beside the demand for
one reform. Notwithstanding this
declaration, which is but an echo OF
what the people have already declared,
the country is doomed TO a fresh Pc
rod OF disappointment. The doctor
who begs to be called to the side of the
sick patient and then fails to apply
the remedy is awretch indeed. but what
is he compared 10 that great doctor
Of political ills who went before the
country or a series of false promises
and who is unable to redeem a single
one of them?
The people OF the United States are
too intelligent 10 be further bunkoed
by such transparent schemes, and they
know now. il they did not know IL be
fore. that the republican party is but
the creature Of corporations. trusts and
rings. which have no other purpose but
the destruction of personal liberty and
the robbery of their substance.-Atlan

WAVES or PROSPERITY.


Webster's definition of q wave may be
summel Up in the term oscillation or
instabilla. Sir Isaac Newton defines .
wave as ~irregularity or ~unevenness Of
surface. In the natural world a wave
always ~presupposes an evanescent eli
max, TO be followed Immediately by an
anticlimax or depression.
Thus we have by their own showing
the estimate which the blatant heralds
OF artificial prosperity place upon their
own product. These partisan John the
Baptists, going up and down the land
telling the people to make way for
prosperity, have at least the virtue Of
nervousness. They pirate of q tidal
wave of prosperity that is not expected
on their own showing to be lasting.
We are 10 have, according to these her
aids. a wave Of such prosperity as the
country has never witnessed before. and
all interested are TO make hay while the
sun shines. for not being founded on
| rational economics there is no telling
how long the wave may last.
The whole theory of tariff legerde-
main is based on the alternate swell and
subsistence of socalled prosperity. A
wave, either in economics or physics,
presupposes a depression elsewhere.
Following the physical origin of a wave
to it's logical conclusion, it is the de-
preston that causes the wave, and vice
versa. Prosperity for the trust and
monopolies of the United States, which
is the real aim of the tariff NEGRO
mancers, presupposes depression among
other classes. principally consumers and
the labor element.
Based on robbery, which differs in
degree only and not in kind from the
piracyof the middle ages or the brigand-
age of modern frontier life. this kind
of prosperity always runs its course
when an aroused public sentiment con-
siders 1t time to call a halt. Whatevef
OF real prosperity Is in store for the
people of the United States in the near
future will be a tardy surmounting OF
obstacles thrown in the way of nat
ural re%cuperation from hard times by
the tariff tinkerers. 1t is to be pro-
joundly hoped that such real prosper
ity, whose welcome appearance will
need no heralds or exploiters, will come
TO remain with us and not to sweep over
the nation with e%phemeral touch.
Oscillation from the heights of arti.
fetal prosperity to the depths Of ex'
IRENE depression constitutes the most
hurtful Of experiences for the body pol
tic. Steady growth without these al
ternate extremes is the only sign o.
genuine prosperity. and such growth II

exrRAvAoANr MANAGEMENT.
Republican Government II Always
Very C0stly.


Worry Costly.
The result OF republican extrava-
xance has manifested itself IN unmis-
taxable form thus early in the life of the
Mckinley administration. July was
the first month Of the new fiscal year,
and Secretary Cages treasury balance
shows a deficit OF Sill 900 ZOO. When the
enormous anticipatory imports to es-
cape the duties of the Dingley bill are
taken into account, together with the
unusually heavy payments into the
treasury by the brewers TO save the re-
bate on beer stamps, the conclusion Is
inevitable that the deficit is due to the
reckless use Of public funds.
The amount paid out Of the treasury
in July exceeded by $s,O0o.00o the
amount paid out during July of last
year. This excess represents the diff
ference between republican govern
nent and democratic government. In
other words. republican government
costs SIS, 900. 900 a month than dem
ocratic government.
One of the items of extra cost "a
contained in the pension account. PEN
sion payments for the month of July
aggregated nearly sl5.o0o.O0o. almost
$1,000, 600 in excess OF the amount paid
in pensions during the corresponding
month last year. When the pension
lists reached the $4,000 900 mark in
the early part Of Grants second admin
istration he apoiogized for the amount
and predicted that from that year on
the pension account would decrease.
A few years afterward Samuel j. Ran
dali as chairman of the appropriations
committee submitted a bill TO the house
carrying less than $40. 0o0,0 900 in pen
sions and explained that the commit
tee believed the high-water mark in
pensions had been reached. Instead of
decreasing. the amount paidin pensions
every year since has increased, and this
year the prodigious sum OF Sal .ooO.0o0
was appropriated by the republican
congress-. This exceeds the total cost

armies of war-scared Europe. 1t is
more than enough to equip and put in

DEFICIT AND PROSPERITY.
Protectionists Have Deen Given the
liz by Events.

The republican organs positively as
sured US some months g that we
could not hope for any prosperity SO
long as there was a deficit in the treas
ury. There is nothing IN this wide
world. said they. in effect, that will take
the starch out of business like a deficit.
The merchant might rs well expect n
rush of trade with a roaring lion stand
ing in his front dooras to hope to dodge
the sheriff when there is a deficit in the
federal revenues. The catalogue Of po-
litical lin is a long one, but a deficit is
the boss i'll and as good as any two
among the toughest of the lot. The
extra session of congress was called to
wipe out the deficit and save the coun-
try, and vet we are now in the enjoy
ment OF a high degree of prosperity
while the deficit continues to transact
its pernicious business at the old stand.
OF course, there are those who say
that the prosperity we are now enjoy
ing is all on paper. but they are Of the
breed called calamity how.ers." They
have an interest of one kind or another
In hard times; the harder the better.
They don't want prosperity themselves
and they don't want anybody else to
have any. and when there are no hard
times they try 10 deceive themselves
and others by bowling that the times
are simply awful. They are not to be
considered. The fact is that we have
prosperity In abundance, and in spite
of the terrible deficit. Nothing is
clearer than that the protectionist or
gans shamefully misreprescnted the
deicit, for we are aprosperous andhap-
py people with the deficit still oD deck.

more careful about their u~tterances

lar credit for saying what Is not So

Figures From Cuba.

Within the past two years the Span fards have sent over 5000 Cubans to the penal colony in Africa; over 4,000 po- litical prisoners are confined in Havana, and thousands of people on the island have mysteriously disappeared.
 Millions of dollars worth of planta- tion property have been destroyed. and under the policy of Weyler thousands of families have been driven to the verge of starvation. This inhuman warfare shocks the civilized world, but if the United States proposes to look on and permit it. year after year, 1t cannot be expected that other nations will inter fere.
 If the heroic Cubans persist in their struggle for liberty until their island shall be turned into a desert filled with the graves of its defenders, the respon- sibility will very largely rest upon the great republic which owes it's existence ence to rebellion. Americans cannot behold this spectacle without shame.

A New Danger.

Each new convenience brings a new danger with it. and even the passenger elevators in the tall buildings are giv- ing trouble. Heretofore the elevators have been called safe, but several acci- dents have occurred lately, and the Phil- adelphia Press says:
 The frequent falling of passenger ele- vators in the sky-scraping office build ings of New York city should impress upon all city governments the need of a careful inspection of these vehicles There are said to be 1000 such elevators in New York carrying about 1000 900 passengers a day. Philadelphia has not had to resort very largely to this method of travel in the past and in those build ings where it is in use the stories are not so many as to cause an excessive strain on the elevating machinery. But now that tall buildings are being erected in this city in which elevating cars will be run to the height of twelve and six teen stories greater watchfulness will be necessary. The passenger elevator can be made and kept safe and the authori- ties should insist that 1t be In that con- dition or else not be allowed to move above the ground floor.
 If these concerns can be made abso- lutely safe the authorities should force their makers and owners to take the nec- essary steps to get them in the proper shape. With the multiplication of tall buildings 1t is possible that in the near future elevator disasters will play as as train accidents have done in the past.

Weyler Tells the Truth.

General Weyler justifies his barbarous warfare in Cuba by claiming that he adopted the methods of the northern armies which invaded the south during the war between the states. The Span- ish general tells the truth. General But ler's shameful oppression of the people of New Orleans, and his insults to the women of that city make black chapter in history. General Sherman's conduct was cruel in the extreme and he excused it by saying: War is the science of barbarism-war is h-ll."
 Weyler can find more than one prece- dent for h.s savagery on the federal side during the late war, but he fails to es- tablish the claim that their methods were approved by the civilized world.
 The northern historians who are try ing to make it appear that all of their generals were knlghtly heroes will not be pleased with Weyler's defense But facts are facts, and they will not down.

The Industrial Race,

It is a close and great race that the Carolinas are running in the matter of mill building. Each claims to be the foremost cotton manufacturing state in the south, and they are so close together it is becoming difficult to say which is the leader. But at the close of the last cotton year, Aug. 31, South Carolina cer- tainly had the lead, the statistics of MT. Henry G. Hester. secretary of the New Orleans cotton exchange, bsing an au- thority that is not disputed. According to his figures, made up from returns re. ceived from the mill owners themss Ives, North Carolina had, all told, 1025, IT spindles, and South Carolina had 1,250,- 324. These figures include idle spindles and spindles going into new and incom- plete buildings. A better test perhaps is the actual consumption of the raw material. The North Carolina mills took in the last cotton year 25S. .92s bales; the South Carolina mills, 327, ,643. South Carolina therefore led the industrial pro- cession on the last day of last August
 It must be confessed that North Car olna is building more mills than any other state in the south, although as a rule they are not great mills at the start. They gradually, like acorns, become great. And perhaps this is the secre of North Carolina's Surprising gains over her sister states. It is the best policy; and South Carolina is adopting it. Says the Charleston News and Courier to an inquiring correspondent in a small town of it's state:
 If big weaving mill Is too much to undertake, go for small one. If a small weaving mill is too much, build a small spinning one. If that is too much, build a knitting mill. One of some kind can certainly be established by means of a popular subscription on the installment plan, If not otherwise. A small one of any kind will be a long advance on none, and 1t can grow here after.
 This advice, like all advice of the Charleston contemporary. is to the point, practical and valuable. It fits every
