money troubles and predicted an awful
disaster to follow the demonetization of

The Congressmen don't draw mile

doesn't amount to much to eastern mem

Tije troubles which lieset the country,
says the Philadelphia Record, have betn
long foreseen and foretold by the op
ponents of the fiscal legislation which
has looted the Treasury, overtaxed the
country, and brought doubt upon the
ability of the (Jovernment to redeem its
obligations. We have had the usual
overproduction and overcapitalization
which always necessarily follow as a
sequence when special industries are
pampered at the public exMise. Stab
ilization has U-en a little more grievous
and dangerous in its application to silver
production than to iron, wool, sugar
and the other In-wildering troop of in
fant industries which have lieen put lit
nurse upon the breast of national con
sumption, lievause of the financial com
plications lying latent in the use of sil
ver as money. Rut the explosive qual
ity inherent in "protective" legislation,
which is now giving such violent proof
of itself in Colorado and either silver
mining states, jiermeates the whole sys
tem of fiscal policies built by the Repub
lican party in the course of its existence
Republican methods of expenditure are
as faulty as Republican methods of taxa
tion. They are breaking dwwn of their
own weight liefore the corrective hand
of lH-mocratic administration can lie
put fotth to serve anil save the business
interests of the country.
It is more than a mistake, it is mad
ness, under such circumstances, to insist
that the fears of the eople, and not the
follies of their trusted leaders, broJght
on the distrust and distress which now
fill the land from one end to the other.
Congress should waste no time in discus
sing the question of. responsibility. That
was settled in lSiK and 1S'.2 by the teo
ple, wise, as they usually are, before the
event The immediate business is the
work of repair and reconstruction. The
first step is one of assurance, to lie accom
p'ished by thestoppage of silver purchases.
This step should le taken unhampered by
any shadow of patisanship. The represen
tatives in Congress should reflect the will
of the people without reference to jiolit
icat inclining. It is a time when parti
sanship should lie thrown overboard, and
patriotism pushed to the front.
The letter of ex-President Harrison
to the Republican Club convention says
the New York World, simply showed his
blind persistence in the Itourlonish be
lief that the people can be fooled at any
time. Mr. Harrison wrote with the true
Pecksniffian twang:
I think I mav add, without trans
gressing the proprieties, that there is
nothing in the present business situa
tion to sugg-st any great gain to the
country as the result of the inaugura
tion of Iemx'ratic policies.
The ex-president, of course, knows
that there has leen no time for the in
auguration of Ietmvratic policies, ex-,
cept in the executive orlice. We are liv
ing under the laws passed and the con
ditions created and U'queathed by the
Republican party, with Mr. Harrison's
active assistance.
Was confidence impaired by our loss
of Treasury gold? Mr. Harrison re
ceived from the Democratic administra
tion nearly $100,000,iK0 above the
legal reserve, ami lost it all.
Have gold exports weakened the
finances of the country? Under Mr.
Harrison's administration there was a
net loss to the country of $ 12,HM,(M0.
Have the compulsory purchase of sil
ver bullion on a falling market and the
issuing of Treasury notes redeemable in
gold alarmed foreign investors and par
alyzed creditors here? This has lieen
done under a Republican law signed
by Mr. Hartison.
Has the wrecking of trusts added to
financial distress and business uncertain
ty? The trusts were fostered by Repul
lican laws and enjoyed immunity under
Mr. Harrison's Attorney General.
It will lie time enough to talk of the
failure of Iemoeratie policies when they
have lieen put into the law and tried.
Up to the present moment the only prac
ticable Democratic jiolicy has teen to
stop the holes made in the ship of state
by the scutllers who were driven out on
the -llh of March.
It was my purpose to summon Con
gress in special session early iu the com
ing Srptemlier that we migh-t enter upon
the work of tariff reform, which the true
interests of the country clearly demand,
which so large a majority of the people,
as shown by their suffrages, desire and
expect, and to the accomplishment of
which every effort of the present admin
istration is pledged. But while tariff
reform has lost nothing of its immediate
and permanent imfiortance, and mu.-t
in the near future engage the at
tention of Congress, it has seemed to me
that the financial condition of the coun
try should at once and before all other
subjects, le considered by your honora
ble body. I earnestly recommend the
prompt rejteal of the provisions of the
act passed July 14, lS'.H), authorizing the
purchase of silver bullion, and that other
legislative ait ion may put beyond all
doubt or mistake the intention and the
ability of the government to fulfill its
lecuniary obligations in money univer
sally recognized by all civilized coun
tries. irultnit Cltvrland'a Mfsntiye.

Washincton, D. C. August"), 1S'.3.
Speaker Crisp has Ken here since Mon
day, audit is not probable that he will at
any time during the session have to do
a harder week's work than that which
has lieen imjxwetl upon him since his
arrival. The rnt thing that a Demo
cratic member of the House wishes to do
after his arrival is to have a little private
conversation with the Sjieaker, about his
committee assignments, etc. Mr. Crisp
tloes not shrink from the conferences;
on the contrary, he has causal it to lie
known that he wishes every Democratic
Representative to call on him and make
known his committee preferences, in or
der that he may, as far as jiossible, give
them the committee assignments lln-y
desire. The committees might have
lieen announced next week, except for
this desire on the part of Mr. Crisp to
meet the wishes of the inemU-rs. It
will, the Snaker thinks, take about two
weeks after all the mom hers arrive to get
the committees satisfactorily made up.
Treasury officials re pleased to see
gold again coming into instead of going
out of the Treasury. The reserve, fund
crawled over the $10O.00O.iHH.l mark
this wtfk for the first time in many
weeks and it is still increasing.
While it is uot probable that the finan
cial question w ill lie submitted to a Dem
ocratic caucus of either Representatives
or Senators, Democrats almost without
exception express themselver as ln-liev-ing
that an agreement will In- reached
after a little time upon a financial bill
that will receive the support of practi
cally all of the Democrats in lmth House
and Senate, and the existence of that
lielief ailds materially to the probability
of such an agreement being reached.
Secretary Carlisle and President Cleve
land probably never look the time to
Spend a thought upon the numerous
niistatenienLs which have U-en made
during the last lew days concerning their
relations toward each other, liecanse they
knew that the authors of these Milieu
lous stories would all he hunting for
holes to craw l into in a short time, as
they actually did when the official an
nouncement was made, several davs ago,
that S-cretary Carlisle had gone to Gray
(tables to assist President Cleveland in
preparing his message to Congress.
The invitation for this visit was extended
and accepted the day that President
Cleveland left Washington, after issuing
the call for the extra sosioii, which
shows how much those fellows know
who have leen giving the public in de
tail an account of St retary Carlisle's
intended retiiement from the cabinet,
liecause of the President's failure to con
sult hint aliout his message to Congress.
Moral: get your news from I Vmocratic
sources, if you want it to lw straight.
President Cleveland and Secretaries
Carlisle and Lamont will return to Wash's
ington together. The other niemliers of
the cabinet, with the exception of Sec
retary Herbert, are at theirdesks. and he
will return lietween this and Monday.
The first business to lie taken up by
the Senate, which will not have to lose
any time in reorganizing, that having
been accomplished at the March extra
session, will lie the contested Senatorial
elections from the iiorhwcstern Statts.
A caucus of iVmocratic Senators will
lie called early next week to discuss tneso
cases and arrange a party programme.
A half million of dollars is to Ik- spent,
it is Said, by a lobby in endeavoring to
secure the rejical of the Geary Chinese
law, and those who thrive in that sort of
business are anticipating living in
clover, although it is not cxjectcd that
anything will be done until afler the
ojiening of the regular session.
Although Secretary Gresham declines
to discuss the matter at all, there are
reasons for the lielief that President
Cleveland will very shortly send a spe
cial message to the Senate with a new
treaty with Hawaii. Further than that
the new treaty w ill not provide for an
nexation little is know n, but it is thought
that in return for certain trade privi
leges it will guarantee the protection of
the government of Hawaii from foreign
interferene.
Speaker Crisp declines to discuss the
statement made here this week that Rep
resentative Wil.-on, of West Virginia,
bad Ix-en tendered and Lad accepted the
chairmanship of the House Ways and

Oliver Invented and Cave to the
World the Chilled Plow.
the genuine OLIVER CHILLED PLOWS
MADE ONLY BY THE
Oliver Chilled Plow Works,
South Bend, Indiana,
ARE THE BEST GENERAL PURPOSE PLOWS IN THE WORLD.
A strong statement but a true one, for these plows are Letter
known, have reached a larger sale, have had a longer run, have proved
more popular and given better satisfaction than any other plows on
the face of the globe. ....
We mean the GENUINE OLIVER, and not the imitations claim
ing to be the Oliver, or equally as good. Such imitations are on the
market, placed there by unscrupulous manufacturers who seek to tra Je
on the good name of the Oliver. .-.-
Look out for imitations, buy omy the genuine Oliver plows and
repairs, and be sure you are right before you take the plow home.
teTOnce more Beware of "bogus" Oliver plows and repairs, and
take none but the genuine, made by the Oliver Chilled Plow Wuku,
South Bend, Indiana.
