No Extravaganza There.

The ammunition of the opposition
party in every campaign consists large
ly Of charges of extravaganza in appro-
prations against the party in power. In
the particular case of the present con-
gress, however. the ground has been
pretty fully cut from under foot, and
frantic efforts of the spokesman of the
opposition to make out a case which
could In part justify the usual charges.
For example. Representative Living
stone, the ranking member of the mi
nority of the house committee on ap-
preparations. charged with the duty of
presenting Democratic views on the
appropriation bills. is unable to produce
direct criticism of single item in the
bills as passed. and Is forced TO the
peculiar expedient of figuring mall the
appropriations which congress refused
to make, but which he claims 1t ought
to have made, in order to make a show
Ing that the appropriations in the mass
have increased over previous years in
more than a natural ratio. Thus he
insists that there should be counted In
the Sal, 900 900 for the Nicaragua canal,
not yet appropriated: the amount of
ments which congress declined TO ap-
propriate: and also items for public
buildings not yet authorized, and con-
cludes IF say. we add $40, 900. 900 to
the sum stated in the table. We would
have a grand total OF ss7s 72s. 476 for this
session alone"
Mr.. Livingstone IL too modest and
conservative II he should count in all
the proposed appropriations which were
before congress but which failed to
pass. he would find that the aggregate
amount would far exceed the billion dol
lar mark. Yet. following out his sys-
tenn logically. this Is precisely what he
should have done. II Is the first time
In the history OF congress that il was
ever criticised for extravaganza In the
appropriations which II declined 70
make
AS matter Of fact the showing Of econ
omy IN public expenditures made by
congress In the session Just closed Is
one with which the party responsible
for legislation may be well satisfied. and
the shape which Democratic criticism
has taken is sufficient proof Of this fact.
Every department % the government
has been provided Tor mp TO the run
lmI, Of its needs, yet without extrava-
sance. There has been neither waste
nor false economy.

ing at all. Democracy is carried to
this latter stand as surely as Niagara
sweeps a boat set free in its current
over the brink
Instead Of being a minor and second
airy issue In this campaign, the finan-
cial question bids fair to assume first
place once more. BY his own utter
snces Mr.. Bryan has become a fiatist,
IL, indeed. he was not always such at
bottom. The Democratic party is lost
in the Populist party. Its standard Is
rag money. IL stands for the absolute
destruction OF all financial system ex-
cept that which has ruined every ma
ton in the world that ever gave way
to IT, It proposes TO regulate the vol
ume Of money by paper issues Such
regulation" always has and always
must assume the form Of successive
acts Of imitation.
As legal tender paper Is increased,
prices mount upward and gold goes TO
a premium. There at once appear two
sets Of prices: real prices. which are
measured In gold. and artificial prices.
measured by deprecated paper cur
rency. As this paper falls lower and
lower in the market. larger issues are
called for TO stay the panic. and are
conceded by the legislative body. This
proceeds until the paper ceases practl-
cally to have any purchasing power
Then IL has to be wiped out, the gold
basis must be re-established and the
nation begins at the beginning once
more: more than half the people having
meantime lost all their possessions. and
the only gamers being the capitalists
who can secure the gold and take ad-
vantage OF distressing fluctuations in
the market
This is no fancy picture. 1t is chap
ter from history. written In the records
OF every people that ever dallIed with
the fiat money Idea, II IL the feast OF
carrion to which the Democratic party
invites the people OF this country. That
party cannot help itself. IT is impelled
to the advanced attitude by its own
past. II Is achieving a true rake's pro-
sress. Every clear thinker, every man
informed In economic science or eco
nomic history. has seen this end from
the beginning. We think II highly for
tunate for the public that the plain
confession OF its tendencies. the plain
statement Of Its purposes. comes from
the lips Of its authorized representa-
tives at a time when the whole country
may take note and warning.

Prof. Goodwin Smith sizes up the Chi
nese situation in way that should
bring Joy to their souls. To him the
murders and outrag es of the Boxers are
a perfectly proper protest against the
wiekedness of foreigners who insist
upon living in China, and any attempt
to prevent such killings is "murderous
war" II is his opinion that the whole
trouble could be settled peaceably and
properly by having the other nations
withdraw at once all their citizens from
China, warning them that IL they re-
main It must be at their own peril. The
doctrine Is so identical with that cham
pioned by Mr. Bryan and his party for
the Philippines that Prof. Smiths crude
but forcible statement of it IS very
timely.

capital is now in the city to what
might be said to be an unlimited
amount of investment in this class

ninety days one of the largest hard

established in close proximity to
our city in which the number Of

of an insignificant character. Ample
