VERY LOOSE INSPECTION

OF. PAUL, April 18.-The joint senate
and house committee appointed Jan. 3
to investigate charges of corruption and
favoritism in the grain inspection de-.
partment has submitted it's report to
both houses.
The committee finds the following
from the evidence produced:
l.. That the grading of wheat has
not been uniform; that prior to the
month of October, the new crop of
wheat had not been graded solely on it's
merits, it being the policy of the in.
spection department to give lower
grades than alter.
.. That the system of appeal from
the inspectors decision is impracticable
end of little benefit.
3. That + appears that some of the
inspectors have been incompetent or
careless.
4. That the weighing of tho grain at
the terminals il carried on in a loose
manner.
5. That the farmers suffer q heavy
loss by shipping uncleaned wheat, and
by loading wheat into dirty and unswept
cars. :. -...,
No reasons have been produced by
the department of inspection in the tes-
timony taken before your committee.
to convince this committee that the
system in vogue in the department. can
result in anything but dead loss to thu
producer and must necessarily be to the
advantage of the buyer. !.

the seclusion of a hunting preserve
where he had been killing deer for the
amusement the slaughter afforded him,
to lift up his voice in criticism Of Sec
rotary Gage for Offering to purchase
$25, OaO, 900 In bonds.
His whining complaint is that the
OFFER is inconsistent with the assertions
of Republicans that there is money
enough In the country. because, II that
were true, there would be no need to
buy bonds. whereupon the Phlladel-
phla Press says: THAT is characteristic
Bryan reasoning. That the purchase OF
bonds makes not the slightest difference
in the amount Of money in the country
does not seem to have penetrated Bry-
ans intellect. There is more money In
the treasury than there is any need Of
and some Of 1t is being paid out for
bonds, so that the money can go into
circulation and the government save
81. 100000 in Interest, The trouble with
Bryan is that he does not know what
he is talking about. About 100000 has
already been paid out for bonds, and 1t
looks as though the government will
get all the bonds 1t will take. The eff
feet on business has already been ldghly
beneficial, showing the wisdom Of the
offer"

what Aided Prosperity.

The Republican party in Its platform
upon which William Mckinley was
elected President of the United states
made this unequlvocal declaration and
pledge: "The Republican party 10 un-
reseryedly for sound money. It caused
the enactment Of the law providing for
the resumption Of specie payments in
1879; since then every dollar has been as
good as gold.
1--WE are unalterably opposed to every
measure calculated to debase our cur
rency or impair the credit Of our coun-
try. We are. therefore. opposed to the
free coinage Of silver, except by inter-
national agreement with the leading
commercial nations OF the world, which
we pledge ourselves to promote, and I'M
til such agreement can be obtained the
existing gold standard must be pre-
served. All our silver and paper money
must be maintained at parity with gold,
and we favor all measures designed to
maintain inviolably the obligations Of
the United States and all our money,
whether coin or paper. at the present
standard, the standard Of the most en-
lIghtened nations of the earth"
In the fact that this declaration was
sustained by the people at the polls lies
the chief cause Of the very general
prosperity that has followed. Business
is more sensitive to disturbance Of the
basis Of credits than to anything else.
and the fact that this basis was settled
in harmony with the financial views Of
the civilized world for at least four
years without possibility Of retrogres-
sion in that time gave the industry and
commerce of the country a working
basis that it has improved with Won
derful energy.

THE iNTELLIGENCER.
WHEELING. NovRAIBER IS, 1893
Coming Session Of Congress.

There can be no question about the
supreme Importance Of the coming ses-
sion Of Congress, which convenes on
Monday week. The presidential cleo
lions take place next year, and what
ever legislation Is enacted will have an
influence, good or bad, on the contest
between the two great parties. Colonel
David B. Henderson, who, 1t is ac-
knowledged, will be the speaker Of the
next house Of representatives,, is al
ready in Washington holding court
Of his own, receiving the importunate
calls Of such congressman as are in the
city, who. are presenting their claims
for committee placement. One Of the
iapptest omens is the fact that the next
speaker, Col. Henderson, will be in
thorough accord with President McRin-
ley and in sympathy with all Of the
policies Of the administration. This
means more than appears on the sur
face.
Perhaps the most important subject
that will receive immediate attention Is
the currency question. When the Re-
publican caucus which appointed the
monetary committee was held last Feb
ruary Mr. Payne. Of New York, pro-
posed that whatever measure was
agreed upon should be reported to the
first Republican caucus Of the next
Congress and without the Formally Of
a reference to the committee on bank
ing and currency the bill should be
brought up in the house for immediate
consideration. This could be accom-
pIlshed by a resolution from the COM
mittee on rules. This plan is under
stood to have the support Of every
member Of the committee which has
formulated currency measure.
This emphasis Of the gold standard
will do much to clear the financial sky
Of any future uncertainties, and the
sooner Congress sets the statute seal
upon 1t the more secure will be the con-
adence In the Republican party which
now prevails. In any event the coun-
try may rest assured that the Republic
can party will meet all the responsible
ties that confront it, and viii act
promptly, performing its duty as it sees
It. In doing these things 1t need not
fear that the people will not endorse 1t,
as they always have done so in the crit
ica1 stages of the Nations history. 1t is
the only party so far that has proved to
be the safest conserver Of the country's
deatinY.

The Tariff Must Stand.


While the 1nteNlgeRcer gives credit
to the sound money policy Of the Re-
publican party as one of the chief fac
tors that brought about the present
prosperous conditions Of the country in
the matter Of giving confidence to capl-
tai which had so long been tImld Of in
vestment, the DIngley tariff must be
credited with its share in exciting the
remarkable Industrial activity that OBJ
tains throughout the length and
breadth Of the land. Under its benefi-
cent influences our manufacturers have
been enabled to invade foreign markets,
compelling the countries Of the old
world to acknowledge the superiority
Of the American artisan and confess his
incompatible genius To preserve all
these Dement'S there must be no retrac-
ing Of steps at the behest of free trad
ers, whose theories are beautiful on
paper but disastrous in practice. The
protective tariff must be maintained,
and the Republican party is the only
safe custodian OF It's integrity.
In his testimony before the industrial
commission the other day. Mr.. John W.
Gates, manager and director Of the
American Steel and Wire Company,
stated that the protective tarIft had
everything to do with the growth OF
that industry, and that the
continuance Of the policy was necessary
to It's further progress and prosperity.
No one but the free trader seeks to
question such statements as these. One
Of the recent sophistIcal arguments ad-
vanced by the free traders is, II the
trade OF this country has Increased SC
that our merchants have invaded for
elgn markets and have been able to
compete successfully with foreign man
ufacturers, IS there any need to con.
tInue a protective tariff? While It ii
acknowledged that some institutions
once protected by the tariff have grown
to such proportions that they possibly
could do without It, II would be well fol
the Iaboring man 10 bear in mind thai
It IL the existence Of the protective
tariff, which enables him TO receive &c
much better wages than his European
competitor, end It il this sense Of Sc
eurity At home which enables thu
American manufacturer to meet com

relative high standard Of wages. To Dc
