The deficit of the second month
of the Dingley law was over three
million dollars, but the deficit of
the second month of the Wilson law
was over $13,000,000. Does any
body want to trade back?
The persistency with which the
Ohio Democrats avoid discussing
tariff or currency this year is quite
remarkable, especially in view of
the fact that they made silver their
chief issue only three months ago.
Towne, Bryan, and the other silver-orators
are still compelled to
seek county fairs In Arkansas nnd
Tennessee as a place in which they
may give vent to their suppressed
emotions on the crime of '73. There
is a rumor afloat, however, that
Towne proposes to talk silver in
Ohio or bust. Look out, Colonol

The controlling interest in a 15,
000,000 gas company and an inter
est in a $12,000,000 street railway in
Washington are suggostod as Mr.
McLean's real object in wanting to
get into the Sonate. From that
standpoint he could do more to sue
cessfully protect his interests in the
District of Columbia, for which
Congress legislates on all subjoct s
of this sorts.
Evidence of business prosperity
continues to be found in the reduc
tion of the number of business fail
urea. Bradstreot's Trade Review
reports the number of failures last
week only 196, compared, with
237 in the preceding week, 279
In the corresponding week of last
year, 289 in the corresponding week
of 1895, and 310 in the correspond
ing week of 1893.
The farmers of the country will
probably bo interested in tho fact
that tho August (1837) Importations
of wool under tho new protective
tariff were but a little more than
half those of August, IS98, under
tho froo trade tariff then in opera
tion, and that the importation of
manufactures of wool in August
1897, word loss than one-sixth those
of August, 1898, in value.
Wheat has again dropped below

of the silvorltos, wlfo cannot bonr to

The fluctuations of the white metnj
daring the year are sufTJcient to
prove the danger of attempting to
make it a money metal on the plan
of the Democrat-? of 1890.

FREE-TRADEifti, who feared that
American manufactures would lan

ported in the month of August, 1897,
under the Diugley tariff law was 80
per cent, greater than in the corre

THE "PRESS" A TWO YEAR OLD
With this number the Press ends
its second year. The baby has

haved quite well considering. It is
now healthy, got some tooth and
can begin to chew. Its friends have
been very kind its readers loniont,
and its correspondents prompt and
interesting. We return thanks to
them all for favors, and in return
promise that our elTlort will be to
steadily improve the pnpor, and to
this end we cordially invite tho con
tinued co-operation of all those who
in the post have manifested an in
terest In the enterprise. Our sub
scription books are still open, and
advertising spooe will be oheerfully
furnished. Now is an excellent
time to take advantage of both these
opportunities. We can make no
distinct promise just yet, but the in
dications are that in tho near fu
ture the Prkhs will be enlarged to
meet tho constantly increasing de
mauds ou its columns for more
space.
A few weeks ago the editor was
taken with a very severe cold that
caused him to be in a most miser
able condition. It was undoubtedly
a bad case of la grippe and reoogniz-
ing it as dangerous he took immedi
ate steps to bring about a speedy
cure. From the advertisement of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and
the many good recommendations in
cluded therein, we concluded to
make a first trial of tho medicine.
To say that it was satisfactory in its
results, is putting it very mildly,
indeed. It acted like magio and tho
result was a speedy and permanent
cure. We have no hesitancy in re
commending this exoellent Cough

THE 1'LAN OF MU.G A(IK
SECRETARY OF TREASURY'S RECOM
MENDATIONS REGARDING FINANCE.
H Prnpmm a Scheme For Intireaolng
the Clronlatlnn of the National BaulK.
fnhllo ttebf to He Refunded In Two
and a Half Tee Cent Clold tlond.
Washington, Oct. 27. Pecretnry of
the Treasury Quire has submitted to
the president and cabinet the recom
mendations as to financial legislation
which he will make to congress In his
annual report.
While the details of the secretary's
plan of financial reform will not be
made public until his report Is sent to
congress, Its general outlines can be
given.
The keynote of the secretary's scheme
Is the refunding of the present bonded
debt of the country In gold bonds bear
ing 2tt per cent Interest. He believes
that bonds which declare on their face
that they are payable, principal, and
lnterHt, In gold can easily be sold at
that rate. As most of the present bond
ed debt bears Interest at 4 and 6 per
cent, the annual saving In Interpst by
refunding would be about JI17.000,000.
This would more than pay the inter
est on the $260,000,000 additional i4 per
cent gold bonds which would have to
be Issued to carry out the second fea
ture of the secretary's plan, which Is
the retirement of all the outstanding
greenbacks and fierman notes, so as to
leave no notes whatever outstanding
Which could be used to drain the treas
ury of gold.
With the retirement of the Sherman
notes the government would be left
with silver bullion In the treasury
vaults, purchased under the Sherman
law at a cost of $104,000,0(70. This could
either be sold at the market price or It
could gradually be coined Into silver
dollars to the amount of $12500,000.
To Inoreaie Bank Clronlatlon
To take the place of the currency
which would be withdrawn from cir
culation by the retirement of the green
backs and the treasury notes Secreta
ry Qage will propose a plan for Increas
ing the national bank circulation much
above Its present limit. He will pro
pose that the banks be allowed to Is
sue notes up to the par value of the
government bonds deposited by them,
and he believes that practically all of
the additional bonds that would be Is
sued to retire the government notes
would be absorbed by the banks as a
basis for circulation.
The secretary will also propose some
thing on the line of the so called Bal
timore plan, by which banks will be al
lowed to lsque additional circulation,
probably up to 2R per cent of their cap
ital stock, ample provision being made
for Its security. He will recommend
that the tax on national bank circula
tion be reduced to Just enough to cover
the expense of administering the law
and supervising the banks.
In order to give Increased circulation
to the southern states and other locali
ties, In which the silver movement gain
ed strength chiefly on the ground that
more currency was needed for transact
ing business, the secretary will recom
mend that national banks be permitted
to organize with $25,000 capital. It Is
believed such a provision, coupled with
proper safeguards to protect circulation,
would give to these communities a safe
and somewhat elastic currency, which
could be put out by the local banks as
H would be needed for moving the crops
or meeting any other demand for
money.
Secretary Qage explained his propos
als In detail to the cabinet, and there
was a general discussion of the plan.
It Is possible that he will modify some
of the details before his report Is made
public, but the general outline of his
recommendations will be as here given.
Mr. Qage counts on the feature which
proposes to give, local banks and more
currency to the sparsely settled sec
tions of the country to aid In securing
votes for his scheme from the senators
from those states and hopes It will be
possible to secure a law embracing most
If not all of his recommendations. There
will be no difficulty In passing It through
the house of representatives If It Is
backed by the administration and
Speaker Heed. The onJy difficulty is In
the senate.
COBB'S PLAN ACCEPTED.
The Chloego Architect Will Dealga the
Mew Pennsylvania Capitol. -
Harrlsburg, Oct. 23. The capltol
building commission has selected Hen
ry Ives Cobb of Chicago as the archi
tect for the new capitol and adopted
his design. Mr. Cobb will at once go
to work on the drawings and will have
them ready In about six weeks. Two
weeks will be allowed contractors to
bid on the construction, so that It will
probably be Jan. 1 before the work Is
under way. Mr. Cobb says the work
can b completed In a year and the
building ready for occupancy by the
next legislature, which meets Jan. 1,
1899.
The successful architect designed the
HENRT IVES COBB,
fisheries building at the World's fair
ara la at present supervising architect
of the United States postofflce building
at Chicago.
Itis plan for the Pennsylvania capl
tol carries out the Ideas of the commis
sion regarding a group of buildings,
with the exception that Instead of scat
tering them over the grounds they are
all under one roof. The central build,
lng la the capltol, the house of repre
sentatives fronting on Fourth street
and the senate on Third street, with
light and air at the front and sides.
The department buildings will be at
either side of the capltol and connected
with It.

ial Report t Secretary Alger.
Washington, Ort. 26. The war de
partment hn received a report from
Captain Flay of the condition of affairs
In the gold region as he found them
from St. Michaels to Fort Yukon. He
has lorted a point for a military pent
near Rapid City, about 2M) mllea below
Dawson. Colonel Handatl, who wai
(tent out to establish a post at St.
Michaels, has reported by telegraph to
Secretary Alffvr his arrival there on
Oct. 8. He says: "The detachment ar
rived here yesterday morning. Supplies
were landed In good condition.. There
are about 180 people on the Island.
Good order prevail"
Captain Ray ma"t' some Interesting
statements In his report to Illustrate the
condition of affairs among the gold
sec kers, and because his rer i are
strictly official they are enl.ied to
weight. He favors the enlistment of 20
Indian scouts, who, he says, would be
valuable as guides, boatmen and hunt
ers and would secure the friendship of
the natives.
Of the settlements within the terri
tory, but few can be called permanent,
and new Interests will necessitate many
changes. Several settlements have al
ready passed away when new mines
were discovered. Rampart City had ft
nnnnlfltlnn nf tthiv- 3?ift nn th 7fh nf
Bf ptember. The c f Weare was rep
resented by four spruce logs crossed for
a foundation for a cabin. The captain
says it Is a central location and prac
tically the head of navigation for river
boats drawing more than five feet of
water. Forty Mile Creek and Itlrch
Creek were abandoned when gold was
discovered on the Klondike.
Speaking of mining operations, he
says the dense growth of forest and
moss makes prospecting and develop
ment slow. Miners agree to having dis
covered valuable lodes of low grade ore,
but the present high price of provisions
bars the working of placers or ledges
that do not pay more than an ounce
a man per day. Up to the time the
boats failed to pass the bar at Fort
Yukon he estimates that from the
boundary to the sea there were about
1,200 people, not Including those strand
ed at St. Michaels.
New Rontet to Klondike,
Captain Ray discusses several new
routes and says he Is reliably Informed
that from Cook Inlet via the head of
Copper rlvef will be the shortest and
most practicable route for railroad com
munication with the open sea.
Up to the present time the laws In the
country have not been enforced, nor

lng them, so all disputes are settled by
miners' meetings. He suggests a court
be established at the capital the ap
pointment of a commiuloncr miner
to settle disputes as to title and the
passage by congress of a code of law
for the territory. He recommends that
the government construct a strong riv
er steamer of 150 tons to use for the re
lief of people In distress.
Ell Gage, who has Just arrived from
Dawson, reports that the supplies and
stores at that place were very low, and
nothing had been delivered there by ci
ther company since August except r.uv
bargeload of liquor and boots. In a
supplemental report Captain Itnv noi.-s
the arrival of the transportatl-m com
pany's steamer Weare with a cargo f
200 tons of provisions. The enj lain snys
she Is the last boat of the B.'.:'--"ii. The
oher company expects mre boats.
When navigation closes, he cuya, there
will be 600 tons of provlBi u.s at Fo,t
Yukon, and he will do wh;.t he ca.n to
assist In forwarding mpplit-s oii'l to
protect the caches from i-ikls. 'J't..:re

this element will become a seii .us fac

AH of tho members of tho Cabinet
have furnished him with the sub
stanee of their nnnmil reports, none
of which nro yet completed.
Tho ndministration is not devot
ing any timo to tho consideration of
tho answer of tho new Spanish
Ministry to Minister Woodford's
proposition, tho full txt of which is
now on its way to Wnshiugton, be
c.mso tho substation of it has been
known for sometime aw) it has been
fully determined to grant tho new
Spanish ministry a reasonable time
in which to try to put its new policy
into effect in Cuba. The only thing
that may change this programme is
tho manner in which the Spanish
reply deals with tho efforts which
have beun mado by this government
to prevent the departure of filibus
tering parties for Cuba. If tho tone
of tho answer is what Spanish pub
lications havo indicated it to bo, it
will bo promptly resented by the ad
ministration. More than $2,000,
000 has been spent by this govern
ment in efforts to prevent fillibns
tering and to live np to its interna
tional obligations to Spain, and in
timation that this government hns
been negligent will not be tolerated
from from Spain. It is thought
that such talk appeared in the Span
ish papors sololy for its effect at
homo, and that nothing of tho sort
will bo found in tho official com
munication. Socrotary Alger will attend tho
meeting of the Army of the Tennes
see on Wednesday and Thursday of
this week, nt Milwaukee, He left
Washington to-day-
When a really good idea is mado
known the average person of intelli
gence wonders why it had not been
thought of before. An idoii of tha t
kind was laid before tho cabinet by
Secretary G-nge, and nt once met
with general approval. The gov
eminent issued throe kinds of pnpor
money, and tho notes of each de
nomination of each sorios have dif
ferent designs, which tire not only
oonf using, but whioh are taken nd
vantage of by that class of swind
les who make a practice of rais
ing notes nnd passing thorn in
crowded places or upon ig
norant nnd nnsu:jiec.tin persons.
Secretary Ougo's idea is to adopt
one design for nil the notes of the
same value of tho three kinds of
notes issued, and to make that de
sign so simple and distinctive that it
will bo impossible to mistake a ono
dollar note for a ten or a two for a
twenty, to The change, which
will ptDbuMy ho put into effect as
soon as tho necessary plates can be
propared, will be welcome 1 by the
handlers of money in ban fs nnd
businoss establishments, to whom

been for the influence of his brother,
who is a prominent Michigan Re
publican. .Senator i?latt was in Washington
Saturday, but he said that his visit
had no special political significance.
He spent half an hour with Presi
dent McEinley and told him and his
other Washington friends that
things were looking favorable every
day for the election of Gen. Tracy
to be the first Mayor of Greater New
York, and that he was absolutely
certain he would win by a plurality
of between ten and twenty thou
sand. Capt. Charles O'Neill, Chief of
the Bureau of Ordinance of the Navy
Department, is opposed to the es
tablishment of a government plant
for the making of armor plate for
our fighting vessels. He says in his
annular report to Secretary Long :
"The Bureau is of the opinion that
the government can purchase armor
more cheaply than it can make it.
The Bureau regards the making of
armor as a proper adjunct to a great

even should the department acquire

that it would bo nt a great cost, nnd
that it would lie idle a part of the
