The extrava- gance of a billion dollar Congress contribu- ted its share in producing financial disor- time to escape the wreck which was the natural and inevitable consequence of Re- publican high-pressure protection, profli- gate expenditure, and financial measures that were a constant menace to the public credit.

BELLEFONTE, PA., APRIL 10, Its Revenue Capacity. Netting up false claims and sticking to them is the favorite tactics of Republican | | politicians. Their entire tariff position is ! . based on this style of representation. For example, it is their policy to repre- | sent the MCKINLEY tariff - as a fiscal meas- | ure that kept the treasury well supplied | with revenue, while the WiLsoN tariff has | produced a deficit. Let us sce how this thing is. A lie, if | stuck to, is said to answer its purpose as | well as the truth, but this is the case only | as long as its untruth remains unexposed. | The fact in regard to the revenue qualities | of the two tariffs is as follows : In the last year of the MCKINLEY tariff the revenue it produced was $131,813,531. In the first! year of the WiLsoN tariff the revenue was $152,158,617. This shows a difference of | $20,310,086 of the WILSON | measure, During the three vearsand eleven months [of MCKINLEYISM there was a treasury | | deficiency of something more than $69,000,- 1000. This does not show very high quali- ties as a revenue producer, or else there must have been shamefully extravagant ex- penditure of the public money. Now let us compare the revenue capacity of the McKINLEY tariff with the one im- { mediately preceding it, the tariff of 1883, as it is called. During the first four years of the ’'83 tariff there was an aggregate sur- | plus of $384,000,000 in the treasury, or an | average of $96,000,000 a year. It was un- | der this tariff that CLEVELAND'S first ad- ministration left a balance of over a hun- dred million dollars to be squandered by the HARRISON gang of treasury raiders. This showing of the tariff of 1883 in the matter of a treasury balance places in a | in faves | | | | most unfavorable light the deficit of $69,- 000,000 with which HARRISON closed his | administration under MCKINLEY'’S boasted revenue producer. New Enghwnd's Spanish Sympathy. There is something observable in the! vote on the Cuban resolutions in the House | that is calculated to attract attention and | | excite comment.

It bad record for Massachusetts when a majority of her Con- gressmen declare that a people struggling | for their freedom are unworthy of encour- agement ; but it is not unreasonable to be- lieve that the feelings of New England in this matter were affected by the sordid | | consideration of dollars and cents. They ! were afraid that their shipping interest i might be injured by a war with Spain. This is not the first instance in which | sordid considerations prevented New Eng- | land from taking a high national ground. | When the Democrats were fighting the war | of 1812 against the power of Great Britain the Federalists of New England were sym- pathizing with, and in fact giving aid and { comfort to the enemy, and their sympathy | was based on their commercial interest. { Probably it is the same motive that is now arraying the New England Republicans on | the side of Spanish despotism. is a 1 | | 1 1 How Congress Has Economized. The session may continue until the mid- | dle of May or the first of June to complete the details of the appropriation bills; but the amount that will be devoted to the | ‘numerous objects of Republican extrava- gance for this year is announced by Represen- tative CANNON as being about $506,000,- 000. This is already half of the billion dollars that is fixed as about the correct figure for a Republican Congress. {Nothing could exhibit in a stronger light | the inherent profligacy of Republican rule than the immense aggregate of appropri- | ations, although the greatest efforts were | made by speaker REED and others to make | a show of cconomy for campaign effect. | REED tried hard to keep down expenses, | not that he is less extravagant in disposi- | tion than the rest of them, but he wanted | to go before the people as a presidential | candidate and point to the economical rec- ord of the Congress over which he presided. | Notwithstanding such an incentive to be | saving of the people’s money, the rascals | could not restrain themselves from dipping into the treasury up to their elbows. i If, when they have a purpose to effect by | | curbing their disposition to squander the | revenues, they can’t do better than this, what is to be expected of them next ses- | sion, when the presidential election is over, , and campaign considerations no longer ve- | strain their extravagance?

It furnishes the first disgraceful instance in our history of {a Congress assembling with a deliberate determination not to legislate.

Its whole object has been politics. For po- litical effect it has refrained from passing any measures that might have benefited the The Republican ministration for it. This is the reason why there has heen a positive refusal to legis- late for the improvement of the currency and the financial situation, although de- fects that might be remedied are admitted, and would be corrected hy proper legisla- tion.

The Truth About Wool. The deluded sheep-raisers of the West, who were induced by the calamity howlers to send their sheep to shambles through fear that free wool had destroyed their in- “dustry, have reason to repent of their folly. | | The domestic wool product has not been injured by the importation of the free raw material. There is as much use for Amer- ican sheep, both as a source of wool and of mutton, as there ever was, and as our i woolen manufactures expand, under the in- | fluence of a larger and freer supply of raw material, the American wool raisers share the benefit of this increasing prosperity. Instead of killing his sheep the American | wool producer must prepare not only for a greater home demand for his produet, but also for a demand from abroad. The Wool and Cotton Reporter, of week before last announced two shipments of American wool that went from Boston to England, aggregating 350,000 pounds. This does not look like destruction of the American wool industry by the free wool schedule of the WiLsoxN tariff. The fact is that the exportations of do- mestic wool has greatly increased under that tariff. During its first year, the ex- port of American fleeces amounted to 4,- 279,109, while during the three MCKINLEY years the average annual exportion was but 271,517 pounds. This American wool is sent abroad because there is a profit in its exportation, while the price of that which is kept at home for manufacture is well | maintained . | These are facts which refute the asser- | tions of the republican calamity howlers | ruined the | that the WiLsoN tariff has American wool industry, Will Spain Fight Us? It cannot for a moment be supposed that the delay in recognizing the rights of the Cuban warriors was caused by fear of the military power of Spain. The present Con- gress is not a legislative body of a very high order, but it is at least composed of -American citizens, and it is not an Ameri- can characteristic to be frightened by the threats of foreign enemies. When the proposition to recognize Cuban belligerency was first sprung in Congress Spain assumed a blustering air, and the Spanish newpapers were quite plain in announcing that war would be the result of such an act. In effect the imprudent posi- tion was taken that the United States had not the right of acting towards the Cuban rebels as Spain did towards the American rebelsin our civil war. The assumption was as preposterous as it was offensive. The American Congress, after long delibh- eration and ed to adopt almost immediately upon the breaking out of our southern rebellion. We shall now see whether the Spaniards will consider it an act that will require from them a declaration of war. In all probability they will have about as much war as they can get through with in Cuba, without getting into a scrap with | another enemy, and particularly one of such a size as the United States.

The secret political society based on arousing sectarian prejudices and hatreds —otherwise the A. P. A.—is to be congrat- ulated on coming out into the open and making a straight-out and manly contest in the American way. That is all the “pro- tection’’ American institutions need at the ballot-box. It will be found in such con- tests, as has always been the case hereto- fore, that the American people have little sympathy with the notion of a religious proscription as a political force. Tempora- ry local successes for the narrow ideas of the A. P. A., resting on a variety of causes, are of little account. They do not reflect the sentiment of the vast majority of the American people, who are too thoroughly imbued with sound American principles to countenance the introduction of sectarian issues in our political contests. As it was with the powerful Know-Nothing move- ment of years gone by, so it will be with the same type of political folly and degra- dation in our own day. Publicity destroys its force, asit invites united efforts, hy | citizens who are thoroughly and truly American, to crush it out. The A. P. A. in political contests is gen- | erally found in co-operation with the Re- | publican party ; never with the Democratic. But there are many Republicans who, to | their honor, repudiate the alliance. This | was shown at the local election in Youngs- town, O., this week. The A. P. A., hy its effective secret methods, captured the Re- | publican organization and named the can- i didate for mayor. Independent Republi- | cans united with Democrats in supporting | Edmond H. Moore, the Democratic candi- | date, who defeated the A. P. A.-Republican candidate. The contest was very exciting, nearly 8,000 votes being polled, the largest ever cast in the city at any election. The Republicans could probably have elected a candidate free from the taint of 1c secret son more important than the success of any political party. The Same Old Story of If.
