POSITIVE ENDORSEMENT. In the coming fall this year nothing but a firm endorsement of campaign the Chicago Platform will be acceptable to the democracy. That is an opinion given after considerable inquiry and in- vestigation among the rank and file of the party. There should be no halting, hesitating on this Either endorse the Chicago Plat- no half-and-half politics, no or double dealing point, form, or repudiate it, policy, no milk-and-water favors lo disgruntled democracy,—but a consistent, firm and aggressive campaign, lead by a man whose democracy needs no apology. The democracy can not af- ford to compromise jtself for the benefit of the few goldites who have estranged themselves.

Who is it? Armor, the Chicago millionaire bufcher, contributed a million dollars to the repub in 18g6 and induced his friends also to lican campaign fund subscribe liberally, and in return he and permitted to write a tariff on raw hides into the Dingley bill They do not pay any more for cattle than | his friends were formerly, but the hides after the cattle | are killed will bring a great deal move | than they did when hides were on the | free list. Here is where the profits are made, a few men are benefitted, and the | laboring man and the consumer must suffer, Wha! a blessing the tariff must be to the millionaire who helps to elect a | president and a congress and then rakes in the profits of a tariff which he cun dictate, titi SPLENDID SHOWING, The financial statement given out by council last week makes a very credita. ble showing of the careful manner local affairs have been managed in the past year. Bonds to the amount of over ten thousand were canceled and there still is 8 baiunce in the hands of the treasur- er of over five thousand dollars, This is quite different from the usual statement, The credit for this can not be given to any single individual, Our council has { been a marke » UNCLE SAM FEELING QUITE COM following resolution with a tha } ss has passed roby APDPropr been careful in the expenditures of pub- lic mouies.

For the seven months ending with Feb. ruary, since the new tariff went into effect, there has been an increase com- | pared with last year of $1,552,000 in cus. toms receipts and of $11,581,000 in inter. nal revenues. The careful Washington correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce estimates for the fall twelve months ending with next June a total deficit of $45,000,000 to $50,000,000 which would be the largest shortage of any fis. cal year since the civel war ended, with the exception of the record breaking de. ficit of $69,000,000 for the twelve months beginning July, 18a3, which was the last year of the McKinley law. Notwithstanding the deficiency of $49, 428,000 under the Dingley law since July 1, the treasury is in fonds, The net cash balance is now $225, 564,204, inclpding the gold and greenback reserve of $100, 000,000, although the yearly deficiencies up to March » slace 1854 have aggregat- ed $202,000,000., How comes the surplus direction. | | der the McKinley and Notwithstanding these adverse | | methods | | Deen qn | mer | aside re- | | on | by congress fur war pur {| democratic There has | | position known to hus friends i pian FORTABLE. t dissenting vote: “That y not otherwise appr irpose connected tl to remain avaliable the treasury at 228, 04x Because of a very simple reason. ly his four gold reserve President Cleveland added | to the funds in 1 ana prema for including loans ims.

Continued from first page dered, notwithstanding it nominally be. { longs to Spain. The fixed policy of our government has always been that under certain contingencies we were justified in | taking forcible possession of Cuba, and | for this reason we have at all times refus- ed to concede to Spain the right of the | possession of Cuba, and insisted that it I'should never pass into the hands of any other foreign power. A contingency that would justify the United States in taking forcible of Cuba has if it stravge that the admiuvistration is so slow possession arisen now, can ever arise, and it seems in asserting our rights and performing a duty which is solely ours to perform. This hesitating policy is said to be in the interest of peace. But peace at any price It is cn is not peace founded upon right. not enduring peace. Peace that is { during must be founded upon justice and | equity. It must bring calm at home and ! respect from abroad. -— The Sorarers Will Celebrate. 1 On the gth of April it will thirty- three years since General Robert EB, Lee be surrendered to U, 8.
