SUGAR COATING THE PILL.

In order to make the Dingley dose the
more palatable the Republican papers of
Pittsburg and elsewhere are printing a
prepared article from Washington certi-
flying that the Mckinley law answered
all the purposes of a revenue getter. To
do this and figure out it created sur
plus they conveniently drop from the
count eleven months of the operations
of the Mckinley law. By that process
Of figuring you could make the multi
plication table lie.
The facts are that taking the whole
time of the operations of the Mckinley
law, which was three years and eleven
months, instead of three years, as given
in the fabricated exhibit, and the de-
ficiency in the federal treasury between
revenues and receipts, amounted to o
round seventy millions of dollars. The
misleading tables printed make out that
it created a surplus of fourteen millions.
Or to be precise, $l4, ,575, ,4S6.
Why, the very title of the Mckinley
law was "an act to reduce the revenues. 1"
That showed its purpose, and when to
this was supplemented the the protligacy
of the Billion Congress, the deficit was
the most natural thing of the world.
Putting sugar on the free list and grant
ing bounties to sugar growers took from
the treasury upward of 100000, 900 in
the four years of the law that would have
remained there had the Mckinley
law never been enacted.
While the Mckinley law brought
about deficit during its life of $70, ,000,-
600, the tariff of 1888, that it superseded,
in the four preceding years, created u
surplus in the treasury, OF receipts over
expenditures, of 1887, ,6l3,725. That is
the history of eight years. Four years
under the Mckinley law and deficit of
s70,00O,OOO. Four years under the pre-.
ceding tariff, repealed by the Mckinley
ac., and surplus of over 1897 900. 900.
The deficiency in the two fiscal years OF
the Wilson law was $6S,OOO,O 900. But
this was because the income tax decision
declared void one of its most important
revenue provisions. Even with de-
pressed business conditions, had the
income tax been allowed to stand the
Wilson law would have provided ample
revenues for the government economical
ly administered.

SCARCE MONEY MAKES CHEAP
PRODUCTS.

Our readers readily see how rapidly
are being verified our pre-. election as.
surance that if the gold standard tri.
umphed in that election there would be
a general reduction of the wages of labor.
Every day announcement is made that
some great mill, factory or other great
Industrial interest, or many of them,
have cut the wages of labor ten, twenty
or thirty per cent. 1t requires no great
prescience to fortell this result. A
moments thought would have taught
any one that the gold standard meant
scarce basic money, that scarce money
meant dear money and cheap products,
and that cheap products were only
possible with cheap labor. The warn
ing was not needed, and now those that
danced must pay for the music

1T CAN'T BE DONE.
No One Can Remain Well, No Chronic
Diseases Can Be Cured Unless the
Stomach is First Made Strong
and Vigorous.

This is plain because every organ in
the body depends on the stomach for it's
nourishneit. Nerv7, bone, sinew, blood
are m ade from the food which the stom-
aoh converts to our use.
How useless TO treat diseases with
this, that and the other remedy and ne

been compelled to assign. Many of
these were also ardent supporters Of
Major Mckinley, hoping, of course, tor
improvenl mt in business, which was so
confidently proclaimed and no doubt
believed in all honesty by many Of those
referred to, Truly are all such to be
commiserated.
This lack of employment, the cntting
of wages, the continued decline in prices,
the stagnation in business and trade in
consequence, driving thousands all over
the land into bankruptcy, all give proof
that contraction continues, and that
currency conditions are not what they
ought to be. Who does not know
this?
But the falsities and the delusion
must be kept up, and hence an extra
session of Congress for the purpose of
piling on more taxes on the people in
order to bring prosperity? Will bad
tree bring forth good fruit? Have
natures laws so changed that we can
secure good by doing evilH We need
not so flatter ourselves, for only through
righteous ways will good results come.
Mr.. Jefferson said: "Let us have a
plain and simple government that shall
not take from the mouth of labor the
bread it has earned" Mr.. Jefferson also
believed the constitution gives to the
government control of the currency, and
that Congress has no right to delegate
that power away by chartering or legal
izing national banks. Late and previ'
Gus experience proves the correctness
of the reviews.

FIGHTING IN CRETE.

CANEA, March 31.-The Greeks have
attacked Fort Izzedin, which dominates
Suda Bay. The foreign ironclads bonn
barded the attacking force in support
Of the Tur klsh garrison, which had IL
cannon and one mitrailleuse. Finally

maria. The French commander has OBJ
tanned reinforcements to replace the
Turkish outposts, which are said to be
absolutely unreliable.
The fighting at Spinalonga lasted 4S
hours. The Turkish garrison met with
heavy loss. A French warship has
been dispatched to render them such
assistance as may now be practicable.
AS to the Cretan situation, proper, it
is understood that the admirals in COM
mand Of the foreign fleets in Cretan
waters are of the opinion that now that
Greece has virtually completed her war
preparations on the frontier of Thes-
sally, blockade of the principal Greek
ports would be useless, thus bearing
out the forecasts previously made in
these dispatches that the refusal Of
Great Britain to take active part in the
blockade of Greece might lead to the
collapse of that scheme to prevent an
outbreak of hostilities. Under these
circumstances all the efforts of the am.
bassadors of the powers here are now
being directed toward prevailing upon
the Turkish government to advise the
sultan to withdraw the Turkish troops
from Crete as another step to Greece
and as another attempt to prevent war,
and, in addition, the ambassadors are
endeavoring to prevail upon Greece and
Turkey to agree to the establishment Of
neutral zone between the opposing
Turks and Greeks ON the two frontiers.
The ambassadors have made strong
representations to the porte in favor of
permitting the immediate departure of
those of the Mussulmans in Crete who
have expressed desire to emigrate.
This will probably be agreeable, but as
to the withdrawal of the Turkish
troops the sultan has not yet shown
any disposition to submit to that de-
mand.
The Austrian government, upon the
representations of the porte, has pro.
hibited the expectation from the east Of
100000 cartridges which were in
course of shipment to Greece. The
representative of Greece have pro.
tested against this action upon the part
of the Austrian government, claiming
it is illegal and arbitrary, as no state Of
war exists. 1t is not likely that the
protest will have any effect. The work
of preparing for the defense of Salonica
is now said to have been completed and
all danger of an attack upon this Turk
ish base of supplies is believed to have
passed.

ing in no further loss Of strength by
DR.. Hunter is evidently very pleasing
to his friends, who had been threatened
with stampede from their man when
ever continuous balloting should begin.
They claim that it means DR.. Hunters
ultimate victory in that nothing can
shake the &C who are standing solidly
for him, and that the gold Democrats,
who are determined to have an elec-
tion, will sooner or later come to him
and more than supply the needed five
votes. The anti Hunter people claim
that the trial demonstrates that the
nominee cannot get the necessary
votes, cannot be elected, and, therefore.
should withdraw or be withdrawn in
favor of some other Republican.
There are hundreds of schemes hatch
ing and some 10 or 20 candidates on the
ground ready to inherit the mantle Of
the nominee whenever it is possible to
do so. The indication are that DR..
Hunter has no idea of withdrawing I;
that no attempt to get him to withdraw
Is being made, and that the final fight
will be close finish between Hunter
and Blackburn or Hunter aud Bradley.
The latest scheme is fusion on w.

and gold Democrats, and there ara
dozen of men here who really believe
that Breckiuridge may be elected.

would rise up in the morning and place
a tax upon certain imports for the sheer
pleasure of showing its power. Yet it is
pretty nearly this kind of action to
which Mr.. Dingley seems desirous of
committing US in that part of his tariff
bill which relates to the products of art
and literature. He places duty upon
them which has no earthly justification
in the facts of cur intercourse with
other nations. We say this advisedly.
1t is undoubtedly true that the traffic in
works of art, in printed books and in
the instruments of learning generally
which is carried on between the United
States and Europe involves great
moneyed interests, But there ore some
financial transactions in which the par.
ties concerned can afford to overlook
the profit and loss account of the indi.
vidual for the sake of the benefit accru-
ing to the community at large That is
fact which Mr.. Dingley ignores

Is not this an acknowledgment of the

treasury some twelve millions a year,
and growing sugar was always more
profitable than growing wheat. But
