And there is nothing in the Democratic

Messrs. Parker and Davis, to suggest
that the Democratic party would not

The Democrats want reduction in the

present expenditures in furtherancc of

they would need every bit of the present
revenues from the tariff to make both
ends meet However, even by pursu-
ing a policy OF ultra niggardliness in en-
penditures for the public good, eNtrav-
agance in other ways, coupled with their
tariff revision policy, would probably
more than neutralze such saving and
necessitate large bond issues. Why should

The stone Instead of the Loaf.
The one single proffer of relief from
the Wilson bill deficit during the entire
session of the Firty-third Congress-, Dem
ocratic in both branches, was a bill di-
recting the treasury to coin and use the
S55,OO0O0O "seigniorage" theoretically
acquired by the government in buying
silver at the market price and paying it
out in oyer-valued silver dollars.
This bill was Il case of offering to the
financially distressed nation stone
when a loaf was asked for for with the
gold reserve crumbling to pieces owing
TO the increasing desire of persons ap-
pretending a slump to the silver basis
to exchange paper and silver money for
gold, and owing to the encroa chments of
the government itself upon the gold re-
serve because of the increasing deficit,
it was obviously a case of trying to sup
ply the straw to break the camels back
to furnish this additional load of silver
for the gold reserve to carry ut u parity
with gold.
But what did the Democratic Con-
sress care if the seigniorage bill was to
further damage the credit of the coun-
try! Never for moment did the Dem
ocrats care to go back on free trade,
even to prevent Il deficit in the treas
ury, and never for a moment did they
care to go back on free silver even to
prevent the fatal consequences TO the
national credit that the increasing deficit
involved.
The seigniorage bill, however. was for
tunately vetoed by President Cleveland,
who on the silver question at least was
right while his party was wrong, and to
whom credit is due for refusing to con-
cede anything to the free silver senti-
ment during the same period when AL
ton b. Parker and Henry g. Davis were
both actively aiding and abetting free
silver with their money and with their
votes.

realizes that 1t is produced by a medi-
cine. Then they not only move the
bowels but improve the appetite and
aid the digestion. For sale at 25 cents
