SATURDAY, JULY 15,1893.

THE dropped pensioners are increasing at a much faster rate than new pensions are being granted.

TARIFF smashing and wildcat money have brought disaster on the country before, and the threat of these calamities is producing its natural consequences now.

The Chicago Tribune estimates that not less than $500,000 a day Is being brought to that city and spent by World's Fair visitors. This means that there will be $60,000,000 taken there within the next four months. Chicago is all right.

A VERY rich strike of gold has been made in Colorado, the quartz averaging $900 per ton. The intense hatred which the Colorado citizen bears toward the "gold bugs" will lead them to take the owner of that mine out and string him up to the nearest tree.

THERE is no lack of money in the United States. Everybody knowB that there is more currency somewhere than there was one year ago. Jt is lack of confidence caused by free trade threats and Democratic misrule that is shaking the business of the country.

THE School Board of St. Paul, Minn., has fixed the same scale of wages for teachers of both ^sexes in the public schools of that city. This is in line with a policy which is growing all over the country. There is no good reason why women should not receive the same pay with men for the same work.

THERE seems to be considerable difference of [opinion between authorities as to the result of the wheat crop. Pillsbury says that the Dakotas and MinnesotB will not raise over 68,000,000 to 70,000.000 bushels. M. L. McCormick, ex-Secretary of State of North Dakota, says North Dakota alone will raise 70,000,000 bushels.

WITH a great flourish of trumpets, the Democratic press announces another pensioner who is alleged to be a fraud. This increases the discoveries of four months to four, but Hoke Smith has made as much noise over them as though they were 4,000. When one thinks of the long list of pensioners, it is a wonderfully small list of frauds that are being "purged" off the pension rolls.

THE Atlanta Constitution declares that "if the unconditional repeal of the Sherman law takeB place, the recommendation of the Democratic platform to repeal the 10 per cent, tax on bank notes will be carried into effect." This statement expresses the belief of the South. It explains the readiness with which the Southern Democratic leaders have whipped around OP the currency question.

OF

Will H. Thompson's "High Tide at Gettysburg" the Indianapolis News says:

Apropos of the recent celebration on the Gettysburg battle field by the ex-soldiers of New York, a poem called "High Tide at Gettysburg-," has been set afloat in the press, •without credit save to the Boston Transcript. If we are not mistaken, this remarkable poem was written by Mr. WiUH. Thompson, of Crawfordsville, Ka brother of Maurice), and first printed in the Century magazine. It is one of the best poems drawnlout by the war. and It is to be regretted that it should be given currency as an anonymous piece of verBe.

THE World's Fair is going to be an important factor in making money plenty and relieving this imaginary idea of closeness. Money has been saved up in hundreds of small places for months and the stream iB running into Chicago. As that city is the financial distributing point for the West, it is only a question tion of a short time before the bulk of the money expended by Fair visitors gets back into the channels of trade and commerce. The Fair iB helping matters very materially.

THE Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis Neivs as a guesser is not a great saccees. In giving a list of oflicials in the pension office whose salaries have been cut and those who have escaped the shears

Bays

that Warner Wil-

hite, as chief of a division, and George W. Carr, as Clerk, still draw each 82,000. The facts are that Wilhite was decapitated the first of April and is now living in the city where the News is printed. Carr has been dead three months. The presumption is that the entire list which he gives is a bold piece of guess work and totally unreliable.

OUR CURRENCY SYSTEM.

The New York Press giyes a brief resume of the present monetary system of the United States, which in view of the popular confusion respecting our currency is an imteresting exhibit. Before the Democratic party regained complete control at Washington the public pa:d little attention to the character of the national currency. So long as the Presidency was occupied by a Republican and one or both branches of Congress was Republican absolute confidence was felt that the integrity of the circulating medium would be maintained. Now that Bourbon ascendency has destroyed this assurance, the country is agitated by a generaly discussion of the money question.

On July 1 the total amount of money coined and notes on the Federal Treasury issued by the United States and in circulation was $2,120281,093. This sum was made up of nine different forma of coin and notes. The gold coin amounted to $513,743,623, of which the national treasury held $110,109,923. The standard

Bilver

dollars amounted $419,332,-

450 but of this sum only $57,029,743 was in circulation, the balance being in the treasury vaults, although subject to call. Of .the subsidiary silver, consisting of half dollars, quarters and dimes, there were $78,256,212, nearly all of which was in circulation. The total amount of coin was $1,010,332,285, exclusive of nickels and pennies.

There are six different forms of paper currency now in use. Of gold certificates there had been issued $94,041,189 on July 1. Of this sum the government held $1,071,170. These certificates are simply negotiable receipts for gold coin that

haB

been deposited with national

treasury for safe keeping. The

haB

A

Bilver

certificates amounted to $330,957,504, of which all but $4,468,339 were in circulation. These certificates are of the same character as gold certificates, ex cept that they are redeemable in silver coin. Currency certificates, of which there were about $12,000,000 outstanding, belong to the same class as gold and silver certificates. The amount of national bank notes was $178,613,872, about $4,000,000 of which was held by the federal treasury. These notes are secured by the deposit of United States bonds, but are not a legal tender, although usually accepted in ordinary transactions.

The total amount of United States notes or "greenbacks," as thev are commonly called,

waB

$346,681,016, of which,

the government held about $26,000,000. It is against the redemption of these notes that the gold reBerve is maintained, On July 1 this reserve was $95,485,413, about 30 per cent, of the amount of United States notes outstanding. These cotes are legal tender. Lastly there were Treasury notes to the amount of $147,190,227 all of which were in current use except about $6,500,000. These notes are issued under the Sherman act of 1890 in payment for the monthly purchase of 4,500,000 ounces of silver bullion. The silver Treasury notes are "redeemable in "silver or gold coin" at the discretion of the Secretary of the Treasury but an obirvance of the terms of the Sherman act, which makes the maintenance of the parity of the metals obligatory on the government, virtually compels their redemption in gold. The Cleveland Administration has persisted in refusing to employ lawful means at its command to increase the gold reserve. It is this policy and not a lack of currency or resources which

intensified the public

distrush aroused by Democratic triumph and brought about the present financial crisis with all the suffering it involves.

THE Sherman law is not the cause of the hard times, bat only an incident of them. Distrust has wrought twenty fold greater losses than past silver legislation, and the distrust is not in the resources of the country, but in the use which President Cleveland and the incoming Democratic Congress will make of those resources. The prospective changes in the tariff have unfavorably affected manufacturing, and the threat to revolutionize our whole industrial system is the cause of the whole trouble in a nutshell. It is the prospect of free trade that iB closing factories and shutting the doors of banks tD bor rowers. The Sherman lnw has very little to do with the present hard times.

MAT LAST A YEAR.

WASHINGTON, July 13. "CongreM will meet August 7 in special session." said Senator Voorhees, "and continue probably until August 15, 1SSM.''

That the extra session is to last very nearly or quite a ykar is the opinion of nearly everybody. Senators and representatives are shaping their affairs for a continuous session without intermission except for the usual holiday recess. The president's message will deal principally with the tariff and financial questions. The presidentin his letter of acceptance showed a disposition to cool the ardor of the ultra tariff reformers. It Is the opinion of the democratic leaders that the new tariff bill will be a conservative measure, framed with a careful regard for the business interests of the country and the matter of increasing the revenue kept in mind throughout. The new tariff will be shaped probably not to be prohibitive in its features, but so adjusted as to yield the greatest possible increase in revenue without working injury to home interests.

Much Work Ahead.

Aside from the tariff and financial legislation a number of other measures will be either resurrected or presented for the first time in the new congress. Mr. Hatch will undoubtedly take advantage of the first opportunity to call up his anti-option bill, which went over from the last session. A bill to levy a tax on incomes will doubtless occupy a part of the time in the house. The mailship subsidy bill, which passed in the closing hours of the Reed congress, and which has come in for a large amount of criticism at the hands of the democrats since, may be repealed, and the free-ship bill substituted which was reported favorably from the committee on merchant marine and fisheries in the last congress. The southern congressmen, echoing the war-cry of the last campaign, "No force bill, no negro dominatior. will demand the repeal of the federal election laws to prevent the national supervision of the election of representatives in congress. The question of the repeal of the 10 per cent, tax on state banks will probably come up in connection with the amendment or substitutes offered on the repeal of the Sherman law.

SIX BURIED IN ONE GRAVE.

Fifteen Thousand Persons Attend the Funeral of the Murdered Kreider Family.

READING, Pa., July 13.—The six murdered members of the Kreider family at Cando, N. D., were buried Wednesday afternoon at Elizabethtown, Lancaster county, 20 miles from here, from the home of John H. iiisser, father of Mrs. Kreider. Over 15,000 persons attended and over 3,000 carriages were on the ground. Many walked the entire distance.

A solemn hush prevailed while the bodies were lowered into the large grave and placed side by side—iirst the father, then the mother, then Berenice, the 13-year-old daughter, and the other three children, according to their age. Rev. Mr. Mishler conducted the services at the grave, after which the earth was thrown in. Thousands of people lingered near after everything was over. It was the most remarkable funeral ever seen in Pennsylvania.

Seeking a Receiver.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 13.—The New England association has petitioned for a receiver in order, as it claims, to protect everyone. The company owns valuable business properties in the city and claims to have $200,000 more than its liabilities. Louis F. Menage, of the Northwestern Guaranty Loan company, is a leading men.ber of the association, whose troubles are due to the failure of the loan company.
