FRIDAY, APRIL 16, 1897.
NEARLY $100,000,000 in gold was spent last year liy Americans in foreign travel and purchases abroad, and they may spend as much this year.
THK best description of that mysterious nocturnal air ship comes from a Kansas City man, who says it "looked to him about as big as a beer glass."
PROFESSOR YVII.SOX in in distress be cause his Southern Demociatic brethren who are in Congress have repudiated free raw material and free trade.
DEMOCRATS pretend to favor free trade, but when their party was in power it failed to stand by its theory Now they are scolding Republicans for not embracing it.
CINCINNATI Commercial Tribune. Governor Mount, of Indiana, says he will not appoint "steady drinkers" to otlice Any Indianapolis policeman could have informed the Governor that drinkers are almost always unsteady.
THE best way for the government to maintain its credit is to pay as it goes —not by resorting to loans, but by keeping out of debt—through an ade quate income secured by a system of taxation, external or internal, or both
No sane man look6 for the prosperity of 1892 to spread over the land in day, a week, a month or a year, but that it is coming none will doubt, and that evidences of its return are abundant to him who is not willfully blind can not be denied.
UNDER an act passed by the last Congress a person defacing a gold or silver coin of the United States is lia ble to a fine of S3,000 and five years in prison. Those fellows who are in the habit of pasting their names and business on silver dollars should look a "leedle out."
SENATOR ELKINS' recent unimpeachable statement to the effect that this nation pays $500,000 a day in ocean freights to foreign shipowners is in itBelf a sufficient proof that America's merchant marine should be upbuilt at once, and that it should receive the aid and encouragement it deserves from the Government.
THE wool in a suit of clothes under the Dingley bill would cost 50 cents more than at present, admitting that the tariff is added to its price, and not S5 as some of the Democratic papers state. Shoddy would be shut out and the deficit would disappear. It looks like a bargain, even if the customer, not the importer, had to pay the 50 cents.
THE Department of Agriculture fig •u res it out that up to April (5 there had been overwhelmed by the great llood in the Mississippi, between Cairo and Vicksburg, 1\800 square miles of alluvial plain, occupied by a population of 370,685 souls, and representing an incalculable property and productive value. It is estimated that the loss to the cotton crop alone will reach fifty millions.
THOMAS JEFFERSON entered upon the Presidency with no intention of matting a clean sweep, and he made none. During his eight years as President he made but twenty-six removals from otlice. In the middle of his second term he wrote to John Page: "I have never removed a man merely because he was a Federalist. I have never wished them to give a vote at an election but according to their own wishes." And some of the most unblushing spoilsmen of the present day pretend to be Jeffersonians.
No feature of the tariff discussion has been more interesting than that which has developed a wide division of sentiment among the Democrats upon the question of protecticn. Many members of the Democratic party have openly avowed themselves opposed to free-raw-material propositions, while others have denounced the extreme free trade views of the Cleveland wing of the Demociacy. Still others, especially those from the South, have avowed themselves absolute protectionists and several Southern Democrats actually went so far as to vote for the bill which was denounced by their party associates as the moi-t extreme protective measuie ever offered in Congress The free trade idea is evidently losintr ground, even in the Democratic party.
.IKFFKHSON-S 1 IKT111) A V. Thomas Jefferson was born April 13. 17-13, at Shadwell, Virginia, one hundred and iifty-four years ago. lie was a contemporary with Washington, Hamilton, Adams, and other fathers of the Republic. In the formative stages of the nation they were all Federalists, but after the adoption of the constitution Jefferson became the head of a new party founded on the construction of the constitution.
Hamilton and his school believed in the implied powers of that instrument and that it could ba liberally construed, while JeiTerson was what is known as a strict constructionist, that is to say, nothing could be done except such as was provided by the letter. When he became President, however, his practice was different from his theory, as among his greatest acts was the purchase of Louisiana territory, the authority for which co'ild nowhere be found in the organic law. He simply used the implied powers as advocated by Hamilton. On two great measures, however, Jefferson and Hamilton were in accord, and these were the questions of money and the tariff. Jefferson advocated an impost in each of his eight messages to Congress as by it "we would be relieved from a state of commercial dependence," and on the money question he was even more pronounced in his views than on the tariff. In 17S3 Mr. Jefferson wrote:
The proportion between the value of gold and silver is a mercantile problem altogether. Just principles will lead us to disregard legal proportions altogether, to inquire into the market price of goid in the several countries with which we shall principally be connected in commerce and to take an average from them.
This does not declare that silver at a ratio of 10 to 1 is the "coin of the constitution." Neither does it say that this country should have a financial policy of its own, independent of the monetary systems of the civilized world. In a letter to Hamilton in February, 17(.)2, Mr. Jefferson expressed his opposition to cheapening the dollar or reducing the monetary unit, aud yet men of the present day call themselves Jeffersonians who advocate the lessening the value of the dollar because "it would lead to so easy a mode of paying oli their debts," a thing to which Jefferson was opposed. The original "demonetization of silver" was effected by an order issued by President Jefferson, May 1, 1S0G. By this order he stopped the coinage of the silver dollar and except a thousand pieces, no more silver dollars were coined until after Andrew Jackson had retired from the Presidency. Just why the silver Democrats should worship with such fervor at Jefferson's shrine is not clear. Jefferson, like Madison, Jackson and the rest of the fathers did not believe in cheap money or in attempting to change the commercial value of a metal. And yet the two wings of the Democracy all over the country will celebrate the birthday of their patron saint. Their speeches will be amusing if not instructive.
KOADS IN ENGLAND. English roads are good because they are well built and well cared for, is the conclusion arrived at by a writer who has been investigating the subject. He says that they are the finest in the world. Some of the highways leading out of Bath were made by the Romans, and all of the other highways are of scientific construction, with deep foundations and ample provisions for draining. Besides, they receive constant supervision and care. Every county council has a standing committee of roads, which takes charge of t.he highways and keeps them in repair. The committee is divided into subcommittees, each of which is assigned a district. There is an inspector for each division, who employs a force of road menders and holds each responsible for the portion of a road assigned to him. The road mender lives in a cottage on the line of the highway, which he is required to keep in order. He goes over the road eyery day and removes in a barrow everything unsightly. After each heavy rain he looks out for breaks, and mends them by dumping loads of Hint where needed. Supplies of flint are kept along the roads at-intervals, ready for the use of the road mender. He watches the road the year around, and if there is any neglect he receives a sharp warning from the inspector This is the English system of maintaining good roads, and it will be nec essary to have a similar system in this country before the roads here will compare with those of the old coun

IT w^s a mean thing on the part of the people of the Empire of Japan to let the people of the United States go all through the agonies of the late campaign, looking to the Japanese as a great silver people, when they had already made up their minds to adopt the gold standard. The latest advices from that country show that the proposition for the adoption of the gold standard had been under consideration for two years, and that the officials of the nation had practically determined to adopt it during the very time that the people of this country were looking upon them as the most ardent ad-
vocates of silver. A hint as to their plans would have saved much of the worry and speech-making in the late election in the United States.r."~A.v
