THAT ENDLESS CHAIN.

1t was frequently alleged during the
presidential campaign that If Mckinley
were elected the government would
shortly be called upon for another bond
issue because the same opportunity for
raiding the treasury would exist and it
would only remain with trade condi-
lions and the sweet will and pleasure
of the brokers whether and when il
would be done.
This argument was dismissed by re-
publicans in this country with a horse
laugh or an lass laugh" and the re-
mark that when we got through with a
democratic deficit and democratic
tariff, bright skies aud halcyon DAYS
would again round out summer of
prosperity" The democratic tariff
has gone to JOIN other relics of history
but the democratic deficit remains as a
very plaguing republican reality. And
now the president in his message has
given the lie to all the claims of his
henchmen during his campaign and
acknowledges all that the populists
and democrats have said about the re

ing for the railroads, not a word is said
about Simpsons part except his bare

THE Supreme court has thrown out Of
court railroad damage case which was
appealed by the company. Dilatory
motions, having for their apparent OBJ
ject the wearing out of the plaintiff,
were being piled up. The court seems
disposed to stop this practice. 1t is
enough trouble now to get case against
a corporation through the courts with
out vexatiOus and unnecessary delays.
The ordinary citizen has little enough
of time and money to prosecute such
cases and the court indicates that it will
not tolerate any uncalled for delays.

CURING necessary of bond issues

He says: "The law which requires
the government after having redeemed
its notes to pay them ont again as cur
rent funds demands a constant replen-
ishment of the gold reserve. This is
esp ecially so in times of business panic
and when the revenues are insufficient
to meet the expenses Of the govern

has no other way to supply its deficit
and maintain redemption but through
the increase of is bonded debt. I'm

issued and sold under the administra-
ton Of my predecessor ana the prO-
ceeds used to pay the expenses Of the
government in excess of the revenues
and sustain the colo reserve. While
it is true that the greater part of the
proceeds of these bonds were used to
supply deficient revenues, consider

the gold reserve.
with our revenue equal to our ex :
pensts, there would be no deficit, re-
quiring the issuance of bonds. But if
the gold reserve falls below 800 600,

by selling more bonds? Is there any
other way practicable under existing

So at last it has come to the point
where all parties are agreed there
should be change in our monetary
system and the difference Is in the
manner of remedying The democrats
and pOpulists say, coin all the silver
offered into full legal tender, issue ali

Nor only is Mckinley following in
Cleveland's pathway on the currency
question but also in the Cuban ques
ton. The bleeding patriots have small
consideration in his eyes compared with
the money sharks and shylocks who
have invested in Spanish bonds. The
president evidently believed with
Cowen of the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road that humanitarian considerations
should not interfere with business mat
tiers.
