On the 26th of last May, while the
present tariff law was under discussion,
Senator Aldrich made use of the follow
ing warming:
The adoption of a revenue bill which
should fail in this purpose, which should
create an additional deficiency in the imme
diate future, which would require a fur
ther issue of bonds to meet current ex-
penditures would certainly be fatal to the
hopes of future success of any political
party responsible for such legislation.
Senator Chandler has since declared
that the further exploiting of the ad-
ministration's currency program will di-
vide and distract the party, and insure
the election Of Bryan to the presidency
in 1900 The program will be resumed
next Monday.
Financially circumstanced and en-

THE NEW YEAR

What will the new year bring forth?
War, famine, business depression and
increased taxation, or peace, plenty,
prosperity and public economy?

1t is said that all signs fail in a
drought. This may account for the fail
ure of the signs to bring forth the prom

prosperity during the year 1897 was the
little furry in wheat, and this was
caused, as everybody knows, by the fail
ure of the wheat crop in nearly every
wheat-growing country in the world ex-
cept the United States. If there have
been any other signs of prosperity, they
have been so slight as to pass unob-

Professor Andrews and His Critics

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald |:
In the columns of a morning paper find
the following criticism:
"The ability of Prof. Andrews of Brown
university to make picturesque spectacle
of himself is not exceeded by that of any
person on the western hemisphere. Prof
Andrewss exploitation of his extreme free
silver views, which came near costing him
his position as president of Brown uni
versity, is we'll remembered. His extreme
views ON, this question. in the opinion of
conservative people generally, untitled him
for the position which he occupied as the
nominal head Of a great educational insti-
tuition. But the trustees of the university
after mature deliberation, decided to re-
tain him in his position. with the under
standing that he would thenceforward de-
vote his energies chiefly to the legitimate
work of the institution"
Modest, unassuming. unpretending; un-
assertive little man of brains and heart
the idea of his being an extremist, or in the
slightest degree given to spectacular
methods. strikes me as decidedly funny
Prof. Andrews has made finance a life
study. and long before silver became an
issue in this country he was ranked among
the profoundest political economists in the
United States. He was appointed by Pres
ident Cleveland a member of the Brussels
monetary conference, and distinguished
nlmSeu ana nOnored his country in the
furtherance of that mission. At the con-
clusion of his labors he travelled extensively
over the continent in search of informa-
tion that should be helpful to him in the
further exploiting of the subject, of such
great and growing concern to the people
of his country. Returning to America, he
visited every leading precious metal dis
trict of the west, with the view of ascer-
tanning for himself the probabilities of a
- t.
the event the price should appreciate to
the dollar mark.
1t was not until he made this investiga-
tion and became thoroughly convinced that
there existed in this country no considera-
BILE bodies of silver ore that he became con-
verted to the doctrine of independent BIZ
metallism. He satisfied himself of the fall
lacy of the charge that remonetization
would be followed by flood or silver or
that any appreciation in the price would
materially affect the output. This conclu-
sion was reached after years of study and
research, after participating in the dehb-
erations of an international conference,
after private conversations with the prin-
cipai political economists Of Europe and
after a. personal investigation. extending
over months of time, of the mineral re-
sources of his own country. His conversion
was from within, not from without and

A NEW YEAR EXHIBIT

This is the day for taking stock, the
day for trial balance the day for clos
ing accounts, subtracting expenditures
from receipts, and the casting up to the
debit or credit of profit and loss the gains

hopeful or discouraged, as the balance
Figures don't lie. and hopes and fears,
and estimates and conjectures all yield
to the immutable characters that repre-
sent the balance. Individual enterprise
may not invariably show a profit, be-
cause so many elements enter into the
years transactions that are beyond
human control, but it is not too much
to expect that the finances of the nation
on the first of each year shall show re-
ceipts equal at least to expenditures.

To Handle All the Sewerpipe Production

Through.
Special to the Register.
Steubenville, Ohio, December s.
The scheme of F. l.. Tappscott, of New
York city, to get the sewer pipe man
ufacturers into a combine in which
each manufacturer was to take so
much stock after having sold his plant
to the trust, having failed, Col. w. H.
Eastland, of Toronto, has inaugurated
a scheme to get all sewer pipe manu-
facturers into a sales agency combine.
The product of each plant will, under
this plan, be handled by this agency,
and the prices will be fixed by it a
shade higher than at present, so there
will be a profit, something that does
not exist under the present rate cut
ting plan. The manufacturers like the
plan and it will likely be a go and be
organized before January LIST, as all
manufacturers are tired of the pres
ent condition.
