TUESDAY, .11."NE if,, 1894.

SkN.vtor Hll.l. -savs that the income tax will drive New York, New Jersey and Connecticut into the Republican column, there to permanently remain. Jly nil means let it pass.

After tliirtv years of patient investi (ration Hon. David 11. Hill, Senator from New York, lias found out that Southern Representatives in Congress have "plantation manners," which they carry about with them in that great debating society and sometimes display to the terror of their Democratic "field hands" from the North.

Tin: public debt readied its maximum upon the 31st of August, 1 sf.r. when it amounted to S2.3Hl,530,2'.i4.!li'. My the last statement of the treasury the interest-bearing debt has been reduced to the Slim of $fi3."t,041 .S40. of which $.-.(Ui0o.ii00 constitutes an increase under this debt-contracting administration. The indications are favorable for the addition of another S-"o,-IM id.uoo soon.

Tin-: wool industry is ten or twelve times more important in the value of its product than the sugar industry, and gives employment to ten or twelve times as many persons. Notwithstanding these facts, it is pointed out that the Democrats in the Seriate decline to give one penny's worth of protection to this vast industry, while for the beneiit of the sugar industry, which is practically confined to a single Southern State, they have imposed a duty ranging from 40 to CO per cent.

Why make northern products free and protect rice, asks Tin: JoriiNAl.. Will Tin--. ,1'U h.nal. please name the prod nets'.1—.1npix-Xctcs.

Hotb the Wilson bill and the Senate bill place milk, broom corn, cabbages, cider, eggs. peas, garden seeds, straw, lisli, bacon and hams, meats of a'l kinds, lard, tallow, salt, tlax, wool and lumber oil the free list, either one of which is just as important as rice. Uoth bills put a duty of 83 per cent on rice and but 2o per cent on wheat, 80 per cent on hay, 20 per cent on potatoes, and 20 per cent on butter. Tobacco is a Southern product and it, too. has a duty in both bills at 1!8 per cent. 'J he whole bill shows a discrimination, so far as its protective features are concerned, in favor of Southern products. 11 shows that both bills are protective measures in spots, particularly if the spots are in the South, or in a cull" and collar district in the North where a Senator is interested in 'heir manufacture. In such case it is not unconstitutional to lay a duty of S3 per cent. In all of the above items the House and Senate agree to say nothing of the many articles in disagreement. When the A njux-Xnu•- digests the above we can furnish .it another course.

Tiik fiscal year now drawing to a close represents a shrinkage of about 573,000,000 in the revenues of the Government. This is the first time that the expenditures have exceeded the receipts since the war. The gold reserve is down to about S01.000,000, notwithstanding it was replenished a few months ago by the sale of $50,000,000 of bonds. This is the effect of Democratic rule upon the affairs of the Government—the result of the substitution of different policies and methods from those which prevailed when the Republican party was in power. The threat, and the good prospect that the threat would be carried into execution, to overturn both the industrial and financial policies of the Government has brought about the existing condition of affairs. While theoretically we may be living under the same laws that obtained during the days of our prosperity, yet practically we are not. The country was assured that those laws would be repealed at once and a different policy substituted. The country took the party in power at its word and stopped business to "waitand see" just exactly what that new policy would be. It has been "waiting" a year and a half and it is yet unable to "see" what kind of an industrial policy will be adopted. The consequence is that business of all kinds is still prostrate. It cannot be readjusted until that policy is known. Enough is known now, however, to safely say that there will be a reduction in the wages of workiiiguicn all along the line.

SOME SOUND ECONOMICS.

A *Mea For a Upturn to the Elementary j... Principles of Government—Good Heading For Kvcrjbody.

To the Editor "Journal.

Upon necessity depends effort, upon effort depends the development of strength Destroy the necessity of knowledge, in a given direction, and you destroy the desire for knowledge, and ignorance is the result. This accounts for our woes of to-day. We have such a large proportion of voters who have been reared in countries where-training for self government was not necessary, hence the faculties necessary to self government is dwarfed —weakened. In 1SU2 this class of men were easily deceived. They were told that in this country the opportunities for growing wealthy iiad been largely increased by unfair legislation and, although they themselves were realizing the largest wages that has ever been realized by the laboring classes in any age of the world's history, as the result of this protective system they were easily made to believe that if they would voic so as to destroy this prosperity of their employers that they would realize better prices for their toil. They were made to believe this by designing and hungry politicians, hence you could hear yelled from the Atlantic to the l'aeifie and from the Gulf to the Lakes, "hurrah for Cleveland and free trade." The passage of the Wilson bill through the lower House of Congress cut their wages 20 per cent. When they realize this inevitable and unmistakable fact they rise indignant at their own folly— thej* by tens of thousands petition these wise solons to desist from the destruction of the prosperity and hopes of these deceived toilers. Hut these petitions are unheeded until the red glare of the burning mines shoot their ominous, fiery tongues athwart the heavens—until the public highways are thranged with hungry idle men on their way to Washington, to demand in person relief from their own folly. If these men had been trained in the school of self government they could not have been deceived.

As to the fallacy of cheap money. Issuing millions of money anil loaning it to the people say at two per cent, or or less. Such a policy if adopted would mark the era. from which our social and political downfall would be reckoned. There has never been any measure proposed in this country that would, if carried out, prove half so destructive to the morals of the masses and ruinous to the wage laborer.

Man is too imperfect to withstand such a temptation to evade toil or effort, as would be this delusive temptation. God, in pronouncing the penalty for Adam's transgression, said: "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread.'' lie pronounced this a penalty, hence the world has ever looked upon toil as a penalty: and the majority of men in all ages have shown as much anxiety and ingenuity to evade this penalty as he has to evade the penalty of his individual sins, lint the fiat has gone forth and cannot return void not only bread but all the comforts and necessaries of life is the product of toil. You may call this toil or put it by a milder term and call it "law:" the result is the same. The government might issue 81,000,000.0(10 per day and give or loan it to the people at a mere nominal interest, and the result would be the same. One dollar would call for another. The greed of the people could never be satisfied. The laboring man would be injured, /or t)ic r}n:nin:r i/ijti. nuilu° uitiin-ji (the representative of value) tin: warm it is Jar the Uihi'FINN CUIXHCS. I have no knowledge of any time in past history when the price of labor advanced in the same ratio with the inflation of prices—the invariable result of cheapuing the circulating medium.

Go back with me to war times when it took S2.S0 of greenbacks to purchase a gold dollar, and how was it'.' Prices in many instances were in Hated from three to four hundred per cent. Was labor'.' Not by any means'.' It was not 20 per cent higher than it was after resumption up to 1SD2, when the threatening blight of free trade overshadowed the land. In lSf5 farm hands worked for from 820 to 825 per month. A decent suit of clothes would cost two months' work. Now they can buy the some grade for one month's work. Then tkey would work all day and pay their earning for 1'% yards of shirting. Now with their day's wages they can purchase twelve yards of the same grade of shirting. Then they would work all day for one-half bushel of wheat at 82 per bushel. Now they can buy 1% bushels for the same amount of money. I mightgo on with the enumeration of instances in evidence of the above proposition but it is not necessary, as there is no danger of refution. The proposition that the wage laborer has always sustained injury by cheapening money cannot be refuted. This proposition being true, it leads us to consider another damaging change that these new apostles propose, and that is. they propose to make onc-luilf the tmpulotUm wtuje laborers in the employment of the government, making these twin fallacies go hand in hand in blighting the hopes of the toilers. lJut if this cheaper money process did not have the above effect, there are other grave objections to such a change. Whenever a government undertakes to reverse the known laws of business, either in theosocial or political world, they undertake as foolish a task as they would to reverse the laws of gravitation. As was said awhile ago, the law has been declared, the fiat has gone forth from higher authority than that of human. "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread." Now when you legislate so as to make money getting easier than to exert either muscle

or brain for it, you attack tins universal law, you damage the moral status, of any community: you increase idleness (an idle head is the devil's workshop) you increase profligacv and vice. We have stated that upon the exercise of muscle and brain depend their development, and just in proportion as yon diminish the necessity for the reasonable exercise of these two grand divisions of the human economy, you weaken the moral, intellectual and business capacity of man. 1 have uo doubt if these wild vagaries of these late apostles were carried out in legislation that it would require scarce a generation for the American people to lapse back into a state of moral and intellectual degradation that would be wholly unfit for self government.

My dear reader, we are approaching another Fourth of July, when we will be treated to orations full of pretty words, rounded sentences, expressing the reassurances that our institutions are so firmly fixed in the hearts of a loyal ami grateful people, that there is no danger. I trust this may be true, but remember history repeats itself. The same course will invariably produce the same ^effect, all things being equal. Read the liness of the poet when musing on .the ruins of past nations he becomes inspired and wrote: "Such Is the moral of nil human tales,

"firs hut t"e same rehearsal of tfie past— First freedom, then (dory when that falls, Wealth,

vice,corruption,

And history,

barbarism at last,

with

all her vo'umes

Hulh but one piure."

viLSt,

We are living in strange times. The American who read the resolutions passed by the I'opulist national convention of 1S92 and was not alarmed, certainly has not read past history. It was dangerously inflammatory, and whilst it was rbut the low mutterings of a dissatisfied element, it was ominous of social and political distu'-'..ance. There was and is a eau.se for all this. There is no just cause for it because there never has been a time in tin '-.istory of man when all classes were so prosperous, and further, there is no government in the world where redress is so easily obtained as in this country under our constitution. The laboring classes are in the majority, they hold the balance of power, they generally get what the ask for. Who but the laboring classes put in power the present administration'? Tliev told you the McKinley tariff was a robber tariff. They told you a protective tariff was unconstitutional and a fraud. A niajoriy of you were induced by hungry and demagogish politicians to believe it. You asked for a change and you got it If you are not satisfied wait for the constitutional opportunity to undo what you have done. Do not lose your patience and reason and destroy the goose that lays the golden egg- as you do when you strike down protection, both to you and your employer. No country, no age has ever produced such glourious and grand opportunities to the poor—to the laboring man .as this country had up to 1S92. No country or age has ever offered such grand opportunities to men of push to grow independent. Hut the I'opulist says in reply to this, "The poor man without means cannot avail himself of this opportunity as he has no capital upon which to speculate." Would you ask legislation that would reverse all known business principles and have men buy without means to pay, have men to build palaces and live in them without means, have men to wield a moneyed influence without money, have men to build railroads and manipulate them without a dollar to pay with. There is but one way by which this could be done and that would be to adopt the Populist plan, have the government to furnish any one who asks all the money he desires at a mere nominal interest: pmriilcd lu hits imiicrty u/um uhirh In *ccurc the i.l'ii'ernmcnt! These very fanatics are now constantly holding up the terrible fact that a large proportion of the realty in this country is under mortgage. llow would it be under their system? It would not be one-sixtli. one-fourth or one-half, but the whole domain would soon belong to the government. Under this delusive system it would require just four times as much money as now to do the business we are doing now, for as you lessen the cost of getting money you lessen its purchasing power, and in the same proportion inflate prices.

My dear reader, let me conclude bv saying that it would be but a short time until the government would not only have loan oflices in each county seat, but hunt n/liW-.v ,i.s- ,/ ,,lil. A large proportion of farmers would be for reentry! Oitizkn. 1'AHKKHsm-iid, June 35, IS!)- .:

A YOUNG GIRL'S FORTUNE.

AN INTERESTING SKETCH.

Nothing appeals so strongly to mother's affection os her daughter just budding: into womanhood. Following is an instance: "Our daughter, Blanche, now 15 years of age, had been terribly aflUeted with nervousness, and had lost the entire uso of her right arm. She was in such a condition that we had to keep her from school and abaudon her music lessons. In fact, we feared St. Vitus dance, and are positive but for an invaluable remedy she would have had that terrible affliction. We had employed physicians, but she received no benefit from them. The first of last August she weighed but 75 pounds, and although she has taken only three bottles of Nervine she now weighs 106 pounds her nervousness and symptoms of St. Vitus dance are entirely gone, she attends school regularly, and studies with comirVftnd

khe has recovered complete use

of her arm, her appetite is splendid, and no money could procure for our daughter the health Dr. Miles' Nervine has brought her.
