TOM REED ANSWERED HIS RIDICULOUS CLAIMS PUNCTURSO BY HOLMAN AND SAYERS. Hard, Cold rcU Showing That Ileeri'i ConrreM Compelled Appropriation! by the Frment One Public Debt Reduc tlon by Cleveland and narrlnon. When the first session of the Fiftv first congress ended The World predict ed a debcieury in the treasury. The sec retaries of the treasury under the pros ent aunilnistratioa have concealed the dellcieticy by counting among their available nnscta uncurrent funds, the bank note redemption fund and the gold reserve and by holding op appi-opri tion. ' Tliis fact and its true meaning av oeen exposed and explained by The World from time to time, and now Representatives Sayers, Dockery and Zlounan, after an examination of the governments accounts for the past two years, verify The World's predictions by showing that there Is a real deficiency of more than f 100,000,000. tiast year, because of the extrava ganca of the billion dollar congress the secretary was unable to meet the requirements of the sinking fund, and this year he will fail again to pay the amount required by law to be et asidi toward the satisfaction of the public debt. Messrs. Ilolman, Dockery and Sayers estimate that the deficiency will be $50,000,000 besides the sinking fund. If to this sum there be added the amount of the sinking fund due for the current fiscal year, $48,632,000, the $S)0,000,000 or more represented by uncurrent moneys and moneys owing to reserves and required for appropriations, the deficiency on June 30 next will really be mucn more than S130,000,000. The result has been accomplished by extravagance, during Mr. Harrison's administration (05,000,000 less of the government's bonds have been retired than were paid during Sir. Cleveland's administration. Besides this the actual lack of present funds compelled the al ministration to extend $25,304,500 of the 4. per cent, bonds, bo that more than 190,000,000 must be added to the de ficiency, together with $84,000,000 repro enting the surplus in the treasury ut the end of Cleveland's term, in order to reach a conclusion indicative of the rehi' tivo cost of Mr. Harrison's and Mr, Cleveland's administrations. In fact, the appropriations for the four years of Mr. Harrison's administration have exceeded those for the four years oi jir. Cleveland's term by $441,044,204. Ex-Speaker Reed excuses this profli gacy by assorting that the Democrats are as much responsible as the Repub licans. Mr. Sayers and Judge Holman puncture this claim. The apparent ex cess of appropriations for the first ses sion of the Fifty-second congress over those for the first session of the Fifty first is $18,245,181.93. But of the sums appropriated by this congress there was made absolutely necessary by the legis lation of the Fifty-first congress the enormous amount of $79,527,602, and of these $80,052,843 may be charged prop, early to Republican legislation. Among them are the ocean subsidy bounty, amounting to $390,290; cost of collecting sugar bounty, $230,890; the rugar bounty itself, $10,000,000, and pension increase, $48,000,000. The Republican party cannot escape responsibility for either the extrava gance of the billion dollar congress, the extravagance which it entailed upon succeeding congresses by its permanent legislation, or for the deficiency which it has created. New York World. Importance of Achieving- Victory. The importance of achieving victory M ao urgent and the disastrous conse quences of defeat are so manifest that no chances which may aid is winning the battle must be neglected. The de pressing effect upon the country and the party which would inevitably follow a democratic repulse in November was truthfully portrayed by Mr. Cleveland in his speech, and he emphasized the necessity for "systematic and intelligent eaort on the part of all who are enlisted in our cause." Vigorous fighting and brilliant campaigning alone will not win the election. That army fights most aucceesf ully whose forces are most com pactly organized and whose movements are directed by an intrepid, skillful and confident commander. The valiant sol diers of Democracy can safely trust the wisdom and the courage of their loader in this campaign. Chicago Herald. ' The TCornont Free Trade Howl. The Republican- tendency in tariff leg islation has unmistakably been toward excessive protection. It is a tendency that the Democracy desires to check. It will be checked without proceeding toward the opposite extreme. The issue is moderation against excess. The Re publican platform is embodied in the McKinley bill. Our opponents must successfully defend that measure or be beaten. The false and outworn free trade howl has nothing to do with the case. Tariff reform is not free trade. Rochester (N. Y.) Herald. An Auopiclou Outlook. The outlook for the triumph of the Democratic candidates and Democratic principle is indeed auspicious. In all sections of the country nothing but good reports are heard, and in all sections Democrats are confident that Cleveland will be the next president. The hide pendent vote of the country is rallying around our standard bearer to a greater extent even than was anticipated. In every city, village and hamlet acquisi tions to tha Democratic cause are almost daily reported. Syracuse (N. Y.) Cou rier. Alone Responsible. The Republican party is alone respon sible for all the evils of misgovernment in the way of exorbitant taxation and oppressive and discriminating laws from which they as a class and the south at a section suffer.

Frick is credited with saying; that ne recognizes the necessity of getting the Carnegie works in all departments upon a basis that will enable them to dispense with protection, and that this is the reason for the reduction of the wages and the conteste with the labor organizations that have occurred during the last year or two. If Mr. Frick made this remark it is creditable to his per ception, and his conduct toward his Homestead workingmen is eminently calculated to bring about the conditions lor which he claims to be preparing. It is probable that the future historian in writing the history of the Nineteenth century will point to the Homestead carnage as the beginning of the end of protection in the United States.
