THE WAY THINGS GO.

When the Legislature has adjourned
today we will ask the people of st.
Paul to sum up what they have got
out of it in the way of local reform.
and then to ask themselves whether
or not it pays for people to neglect the
most important item of their business.
We had an agitation here in favor of
retrenchment a year ago that was as
sincere as it was widespread. Men
of both parties united to investigate
local affairs and sacrifice weeks of
their time to discover wherein expenses
might be reduced, and so the burden
of the taxpayer made lighter After
going to the bottom of the question,
they decided that a few things could
be done by the council, but that legis-
lative action would be necessary in or
der to accomplish any considerable
saving above what had already been
made. The, first point of attack. there
fore, for future operations was the
legislature. 1t became the duty of ST
Paul as community anxious for good
government and low taxes, to see that
a delegation Of able and independent
men was chosen to the legislature. who
would carry through the suggestions
of the committee and put US in the
way of further economies What the
people actually did was to drop the
matter in their customary careless
fashion, permit legislative members to
be chosen by few local manag gers and
then elect the delegation that we
have seen at the capitol this spring.
What they got out Of it is to have
their hands tied for two years more,
as far as retrenchment is concerned.
Now they will probably get up at the
first opportunity and kick and roar and
howl about their heavy taxes and the
Indifference of their official servants,
when they have allowed these ninety
days, so fruitful in possibilities, to pass
without a single effort to secure the
passage of the laws without which
they can do nothing. Take as
an example the proposed con-
solidation of our city and county
governments. This has been agitated
for at least ten years past. There has
never been one single valid objection
advanced against it. nor one in which
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-04-21

you could not see the interested theory
of the officeholder. Whenever 1t has
been defeated. it was in order either to
keep some favored official in his place,
or to keep his place going because some
other favored party hoped to fill it.
The bill introduced this session was
an exceedingly moderate one. 1t aim
ed only at uniting the three offices of
accountant, treasurer and legal advis-
er in the city and county. It was a
strictly business measure. and yet it.
has been jeered at by the delegation
and the members in general, and talk
ed over in the quiet Of confidential
relations as particularly good joke.
Nobody wanted to get it through, and
it was hung up until the very end of
the session, when a proposed consoh-
dalton was cut out, as far as the offices
of attorney and auditor were concern
ed, and thus left Of so little conse-
quence that nobody would care whe-
Their it passed or not
This is the sort of work that the
representatives of st. Paul have done,
and it is all that the people Of st. Paul
deserve. No community that is unwill
ing to give time and hard work and
public-spirited endeavor to the choice
Of proper representatives will ever
| have its interests taken care Of in
business way When our taxpayers
groan hereafter at the size of their
bills let them note upon each one the
| fact that it is paid largely as the price
of political Indifference and the refusal
to regard the government of city and
state as a business affair, and to I'M
derstand that active participation in
it Of each individual is his first duty to
his neighbor and himself.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-04-21

the latter is, relatively, the better pro-
Queer of revenue. The Chicago Post,
it strikes US, could better employ It's
space in explaining how the Dingley
BILL following the methods of the Nc
Kinley act, is to increase revenue. in
the face of the declaration Of the lat
ter act of purpose ito reduce reve-
nue." and the fact that it's design was
so effectually confirmed by its opera
tons. With what marvellous, supernat-
ural power is this policy Of protection
endowed that it can, by the same
means, both reduce and increase reve-
nue., raise the price Of manufactures
and farm produce and, at the same
time, reduce their price to the con-
SumerS?

TOUCHING CONFIDENCE.

The resolutions Of the ST. Paul cham
Der of commerce advocating the ap
pointment of a monetary commission
to settle the financial question accord
ing to the recommendations Of the In
dianapoIis convention show that the
amiabIe members Of that body have
not lost the touching confidence which
is one Of the prerogatives of perennial
youth. Doubtless, a monetary COM
mission, properly constituted and ap-
plying itself sincerely to the solution
of the problem set before it, would be
the best possible agency for putting
a permanent quietus upon financial
agitation. AS the Clio b e has said
many times, if a document like the
famous Bullion Report that is virtual
ly the basis of England's present finan-
cial system, could be prepared and sub
mitted to our congress by competent
authority, it would furnish a starting
point for reform, and a single center
about which might be grouped as nu-
/ cleus the discordant and manifold
views prevalent now, even among those
who believe in the general principle of
sound money. The theory is all right.
When it comes to the creation of such
a commission by the executive act Of
President Mckinley, we venture to
| suggest to the chamber of commerce
that the game is not worth the candle.
Mr., Mckinley has gone into bust
ness in the commission appointing line.
and we know just what we have to
expect of him. Far and away the
most important act Of his administra-
ton up to date was the selection of
representatives of this government to
an international monetary conference,
and his choice is roundly condemned
from one end Of the country to the
other both by the ardent free coinage
people and the impartial advocates Of
sound money. No one but the thick
and thin partisan raises a weak and
faltering voice in his defense. Since
! the presidents views of soundness and
question
represented by a commission of which
Senator Wolcott and Mr.. Stevenson
comprise majority, we would remind
the chamber Of commerce of what the
country would have to expect should
he appoint another commission to re-
! port upon the question at large and
suggest new financial system We
might, in that event, hope to find it
composed of such men as Senators
Petdgrew and Dubois on the RepubIi-
can side, and Daniel and Fred Will
liams on the Democratic, with a PETER
! or two thrown in for good count If
Mr.. Mckinley did not see the necessity
| of choosing men of sound ability and
| moderate views to represent us in an
! assemblage of the nations, but based
his appointments upon low considera-
lions of party eXpediency, how could
we expect anything better of him in
choosing body to represent us in the
! adjustment of our domestic concerns Z?
| Possibly the president means well.
Out, IL SO, ne mas WOefully disappointed
his sanguine admirers in his utter in
ability to even comprehend tbs impor-
! lance of the financial question. After
! the exhibition that he has made, the
hint that he should proceed to appoint
! other commissions to take charge Of
other reforms does credit to the guile
! less disposition of it's author, but seems
to lack in practical helpfuIness.

A correspondent sends us an editorial
from the Chicago Evening Post Of the
18th inst, entitled Classification of
Revenue Facts" with the request that
the G o b e ''puncture these figures. g"
The figures present a comparison of
the customs receipts during the first
thirty-one months Of the Mckinley and
the German acts-the latter uncandid-
ly called the Wilson" actor the
purpose of refuting what the Post
terms 1.-The persistent lies" Of the New
York Evening Post, of Mr.. Carl Schurz
In Harpers Weekly, and others, claim
Ing that the latter is a better produc-
er of revenue than was the former.
While the conclusions drawn by the
Chicago paper can be as easily pune
tured as a pneumatic tire on tack
streWn streets, and have been over
and over again, we repeat the opera
ton for the information Of our CORE
spondent, promising that we are not
thereby defending, excusing or palIiat-
ing that joint product of ''perfidy and
dishonOr" and Of the communism of
pelf." The Commanding Of the house
Dill in the senate increased largely the
measure of protection unwiseIy admit
ted in the Wilson BILL thus making.
the declaration of it's title of a pur-
pose to reduce taxation" a deception;
and, as revenue ends where protection
begins, it also falsified it's other decIar-
alton Of a purpose ito produce rove
nue." AS it emerged from congress il
was a monstrosity, cross between
two irrecOncilable principles Like the
mule, it had neither pride of ancestry
nor, Jet us hope" possibility "of pos
terity." 1t was sired by Judas Iscar-
lot and damned by Pelf thousand
times better would it have been for
Democracy had the house strangied the
mongrel that the senate returned To
1t than to have gone to the country
with the awful responsibility of it's pa
ternity.
But, protective as 1t is, it has, after
fashion, fulfilled it's purpose of pro
ducing revenue, although in a less eff
fective manner than did the Mckinley
act carry out its declared purpose ito
reduce revenue" a purpose and eXecu-
ton the Post singularly overlooks in
its efforts to prove it to have been
a good revenue producer. 1t does not
at all follow, because the Mckinley
act brought over $42O0O,OO more GUS
toms into the treasury in th1rty-one
months than did the C1o1rlan act, thai
it was a better revenue getter, for the
only basis of comparison is the trend
Of the effects of either measure. This
can be shown, aside from the declara-
tons Of purpose in their titles, by a
comparison of the mo.lthly averages of
receipts during the respective periods
These were as follows:
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-04-21

Again this tendency of the two meas
ures is shown by the figures of the
imports each year on which duties
were charged, together with the
amount Of revenue derived from them.
For the purpose Of making wider COM
parison we give the dutiable imports
for 1890, prior to the Mckinley act and
under that of 1888, which, in it's rates,
the German act nearly follows. The
years are those ending June 80. The
Mckinley act took effect Oct 6. 1890,
and the German act Aug. %, 1894
