The Republican Responsibility

Congress is now in regular session. 1t Is
Republican IN both branches, having ma
ioritv of four in the Senate over all mi Il
majority over all Of litly-Gvc in the House.
This is the Congress chosen al the election
last year when Mr.. Mckinley was elected
Congress and the President were pledged to
reform the currency. and III" people expect
it to he done.
With Republican President and "a RcpHh-
licau Congress the Republican party can have
no excuse for not fulfilling lis pledges of
1896. The people will hold it responsible for
either failure to act ar error in acting. and
expect sound and stable currency of Sutii-
cientlv large volume.

Wages and Prices.

1t is extremely gratifying news that wages
are increasing. 1t is to be hoped that in every
instance the increase at least fully covers the
increased cost Of living that has taken place
during the past year. About one month ago
the Boston Herald asked the Home Market
Club. Just about to hold It's annual dinner, to
explain the relation of prosperity to the IN
creased cost of living. 1t cited the following
principal articles of general use, the cost of
which has increased. We quote
Flour is fully - per cent. higher than at
the lowest point Il year ago.
Corn is 9 to 10 per cent. higher.
Granuated sugar is over Il per cent. higher.
MolaSses is : to 9 per cent. higher.
Pork is over 333 per cent higher.
Mutton is over p per cent. higher.
Potatoes are over 100 per cent. higher.
Apples are more than 100 per cent higher.
Butter is more than 10 per cent. higher.
Eggs are over 10 per cent. higher.
Wool is from soto l00per cent. higher, and
the trade in wooden goods is struggling to get
the prices of wooden cloths up to par with
wool Whs is to pay for this increased cost
of wooden cloths?
Hides are 40 per cent. higher, and boot and
shoe manufacturers are trying hard to get this
increased cost out of boots and shoes. Is this
of supreme benefit to the great majority?

resolutions defining the party policy on the
questions of Cuba, finance and bankruptcy.
The caucus was largely attended. lol oi The

snite the stormy weather Representative
Richardson, of Tennessee, acted as Chairman,
and REPRESENTATIVES Cummings, Of New York,
and Cowherd. of Missouri, as Secretaries.
Representative Bailey, of Texas: took the
initiaiive by presenting the following series
Of resolutions ~

A Miracle Of Miracles.

Wha, is the meaning et this pensions al''

millions of the hard earned dollars "i the
people?
Tha. greatest If tigurcrS, Ding ley, showed
one aspect OF it--total cost OF the Govern
ment. 81 per capita: all the running expenses
of the Government, $50: interest on public
debt. % cents: pensions. 81
As there are 515 900 pensioners. one family
in every fourteen in the country Is largely
supported hy Il collection of - from each
member of the other thirteen families.
But Il better way Of realizing the crab Is by
means of the tables of the probability of
human life used by our life insurance com
panIeS.
Double the chances of life as shown by these
tables.
Assume that everybody who took part in
the war was alive and well at the end OF 1t.
Assume that the average age of the rartlcI-
pants was only - wears in 1860.
Assume that everybody i'll the army was
married in 1860.
Still you get this result:
There ought to be now alive less than one
hundred thousand soldiers and widows of sol
diers who were wives al the end OF the war.

survivors nine to one!

Proposed Good,?) Road Legislation.

The Maryland Division, League American
Wbeelmen. have had fonr bills drawn up for
presentation to the Legislature during the
next session. They are evidently the work
of mere theorists and ought not to get further
than a committee room. One Is Idcnucai
with Il bill presented TO the General Assembly
of 1896, providing for the creation OF Il ''l)e-
partmcnt of Roads and Highways, with an
engineer with $1,000 salary attached. ana Il
total appropriation Of S25,0 600. Another pro-
vides for the appointment "t IA county board
of highways and bridges. and them outlines
= very expensive system Of road supervision.
Scarcely one in five of the Baltimore wheel
men are tax payers. and the bills are just
about what would be expected from m"m-taN-
payers Not only are lhey impracri"ahI".
but if enacted would be very expensive.
The Democratic advocate., 1897-12-18
Pension Abuses.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
The New York Times makes the point tha
the very enormity of the payments made in
the pension lists of the country shows it to be
impossible that they could have been allowed
for actual injuries in the service. 1t is sim
ply incredible that there could have been in
juries inflicted that would call for Il compen
sation equivalent to 81 each for every male
adult in the country; and t0 almost three
times that amount for every male adult in the
loyal portion of the country at the time Of the
war. The Republican press is at last taking
a stand against this evident abuse. 1t has
long been a matter of politics in the land
There is a practical question involved here in
the amount of expense incurred, as well as
the manifest imposition upon the Govern
ment that it implies. No one opposes pen
sions to deserving soldiers, but it is in the in
terest of this class that the roll which records
their honor should not be contaminated by
the presence of men who get their names
placed on it through fraud.
