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. Augusta (da.) Chronicle.

ilr. 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. St.
