- -- — wnmimr President Cleveland Expected to In* I dorse Senator ElilE HE MAY ALSO CONTRIBUTE. Prominent Leader* In the Administration to Take the Slump In New York. Secretary Carlisle to Make a Speech There and In Indiana—Farther Cam- . palgn Go**lp. Nkw York, Oct. 17. —A special dispatch from Washington says: It is believed here that a letter from the president indorsing the regular New York state ticket will be made public early next week, and that in addition to commending the nominees Mr. Cleveland will send a campaign contribution. This was foreshadowed in these dispatches several days ago, and there is little doubt of it in administration circles. It is not improbable also that a number of the prominent leaders, who heretofore have hesitated to accept campaign engagements, -will take the stump in New York state. It is understood that Secretary Carlisle will make five speeches within ( the next two weeks—one in New York, one in Indiana and wind up in his old home. Assistant Secretary of the Navy McAdoo, who stumped New York state in 1892, may also make one or two speeches in New York. RECEPTION TO BAYARD. People of Delaware Give the Ambassador a Warm Welcome Home. Wilmington, Del., Oct. 17.—A1l Delaware turned out last night to formally welcome Ambassador Thomas F. Bayard back to his state and city, after an absence of 18 months as the representative of his government to the court of St. James. It was a great demonstration and those who attended were numbered only by the capacity of the opera house in which the ceremonies were held. Deafening applause greeted Ambassador Bayard as he was conducted upon the stage, and he was visibly affected by the affection of the greeting. The ceremonies were brief and simple, without formality. Senator Gray, on behalf of the vast audience, welcomed the honored guest. In responding Mr. Bayard spoke most feelingly of the warm reception which awaited him upon his return to his native country and state. SAVED FROM REBELLION. General Mile* Thinks the Use of Troops During the Strike a Good Thing. Washington, Oct. 17. —General Nelson A. Miles’ report of affairs in the department of the Missouri is short and to 'the point. Os the use of troops during the strike he says; ‘•The conduct of the troops in restoring order and confidence where mob violence and a reign of terror existed in Chicago was marked by great forbearance, fortitude and excellent discipline, and their presence and action here very greatly contributed to the maintenance of civil law, and in my opinion saved this country from a serious rebellion when one had. been publicly" declared to exist by one most responsible for its existence.” MANIA FOR SEA TRAVEL. Relatives Try to Keep Mr*. Carson From Spending Her Cash oil Steamboats. Chicago, Oct. 17.—Julius Rohrback has asked the probate court to appoint a conservator for the estate d? Mrs. Eliza Carson, his mother-in-law. The estate of Mrs. Carson originally amounted to SIIO,OOO, but her relatives say she has spent fully SBO,OOO in ocean travel. The old lady has a passion for living upon the sea and has not been off an ocean steamship for more than one day at a time for the last year. It is alleged that Mrs. Carson’s love for the sea has grown to be a mania, and the court is asked to prevent her from turning the balance of her fortune into the coffers of the ocean steamship companies. OHIO MOB. Driven From the Jail at the Point of Bayonets and a Lynching Prevented. Washington C. H, Oct. 17.—A mob of several thousand people surrounded the jail here last night, threatening to lynch Jasper Dolby, the colored man who raped Mrs. Mary C. Boyd of Parrett’s station. Dolby was lodged in the jail and had been identified during the day by Mrs. Boyd. The mob last night became so demonstrative that the militia was ordered out by the sheriff and the crowd dispersed at the point of bayonets. The militia is guarding the jail. Suspected Train Robbers Arrested. Cherry Run, Va., Oct. 17.—Three men who are supposed to be of those who held up the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Potomac railroad train at Aquia creek last Friday night and robbed it of a large amount of money were cornered near here yesterday afternoon by some detectives. After a hard fight two of the men were captured. Not Personal Opposition to HIIL New York, Oct. 17. — Ex-Secretary Fairchild last night gave out a letter which he sent J. H. Norton of Syracuse, explaining his reasons for supporting the third party ticket. In his letter Mr. Fairchild asserts that his objections to Senator Hill are not personal, as has often been asserted. Well Known Preacher Dead. Baltimore, Oct. 17.—Rev. Christian Kirchmann, pastor of St. Joanne’s church and vice president of the German Evangelical Lutheran synod of North America, died yesterday afternoon, aged 63 years.

—■*■»— THE H A 11 RISON PANIC '•’Y LAST YEAR’S DEPRESSION THE RE- 1 SULT OF HIS ADMINISTRATION. Under Hl* Leadership the Surplus Wa* DHnlpul ■■<! and the Treasury Bankrupted The Nation'* Wealth. Kqnan- ■ de red on the Bondholder* —The Story 1 ' of Harrison’* Shameful Administration. ' Ex-Pri sklent Harrison recently delivered a spot ch in Mr. Wilson’s district in which he said; "-If you have felt the I , effects of the depression; if you think more of those effects and prefer not to lead. tl)e country through the slough of despondency, show it by defeating Wil- , son.” The country was in the “slough of despondency” liefore Harrison left the white house. Who steered it into the “slough?” Who foundered the ship of state by running it into the quagmire? are pertinent and important questions for discussion in the present canvkss. That President Harrison was an. incompetent or reckless pilot, to use very mild terms, will clearly appear from an examination of the records of the treasury department which his subordinates made. He must stand by these records, and they show he was responsible for the financial panic. It was a Harrison panic, deliberately brought upon the country. Every month the treasury issues a debt statement. The form of this statement was deliberately changed three times while he was president, for what purpose will be discussed later. Juggling With the Statement. By a comparison of the debt statement issued Marcli 1, 1889, with the one issued March 1, 1893, it will appear that the same items which are included in the available cash in the treasury March 1, 1889, shows that Cleveland turned over to Harrison the fabulous surplus of available funds of three hundred and thirty million three hundred and fortyeight thousand nine hundred and sixteen dollars and twelve cents 916.12). In addition to this enormous sum there was nearly $400,000,000 in the treasury on March 1, 1889, which was held to pay gold, silver and currency certificates then outstanding, the total amount of cash in the treasury being $723,606,555.56. When Harrison surrendered to Cleveland on March 4, 1893, the same items which made up the $330,000,000 available cash on March 1, 1889, amounted to only one hundred and sixty-two millions four hundred and ninety-three thousand nine hundred and twenty dollars and sixty-eight cents ($162,493,920.68). The sacred $100,000,000 of gold reserve is counted in both amounts. It will thus lie seen that Harrison turned over to Cleveland in 1893, $167,854,995.34 less available funds than he received from Cleveland in 1889. A large part of the surplus had vanished. In 1887 Cleveland saw that the enormous accumulation of surplus was a menace to business and the result of unjust tariff taxation. He proposed to stop unjust and oppressive tariff taxation, but a Republican senate objected, and the surplus continued to grow in amount. The ship of state, with its rich cargo, accumulated by grinding tariff taxation and the economy of Cleveland’s first administration, passed to the control of Pilot Harrison and commenced its voyage. It soon encountered pirstes, and before the cruise ended it was in the mud, quagmire or “slough” as Harrison terms it. If is interesting to examine the logbook and see who attacked the rich treasure while Harrison was at the helm. Helping the Bondholders. First came the bondholders, those favorites of the Republican party. During the first seven months of Harrison’s administration $66,954,500 was expended in the purchase of bonds at a premium. See Windom’s report for 1890, page 27. But this did not satisfy the bondholders, or Harrison, and the raid on the surplus was continued through 1890 and 1891, when it ceased only because there was no more surplus. During three fiscal years—lßß9-’9O-’91 —the enormous sum of $47,997,807.32 was paid to the bondholders as premiums on bonds purchased. See recent publication of coinage laws by the senate, page 313. The ship in 1890 would have run into the “slough” if John Sherman had not come to its rescue with his “makeshift” silver law, which provided that the trust fund for the redemption of national bank notes should be turned into the available cash in the treasury, and July 1, 1890, $58,388,475.75 of this fund was transferred to the available cash. Thus Harrison was enabled to continue the purchase of bonds at a premium. But the monthly debt statements began to show a denleted treasury, and in order to make a better showing on paper resort to juggling with the statements commenced. Treasurer Nebeker, Harrison’s special friend from Indiana, in his report for 1890, page 7, says: “Since June, 1890, the form of the published monthly statement of assets and liabilities has been twice revised.” On page 9he says it was “recast. ” Why it was “revised” and “recast” is plain. If the old form had been continued it would have shown that there was not a dollar of available cash in the treasury. But this was not the last time it was “revised” and “recast” as will appear further on. The Dime Administration. Ex-President Harrison said in his speech that “delicacy forbids me to say much of the last admidistration,” but for his subordininates he says “that there was an attempt to act for the best interests of all the people.” It was a very feeble “attempt. ” Was it “for the best interest of all the people” that the public debt statement should be three times “revised” and “recast?” that $30,105,018.25 derived from profits on coinage during the fiscal years 1889 to 1891 should be used to buy bonds at a premium, paying as high as $129 for them, at a time when the treasury was on the verge of bankrupty? and was it “for the best interest of all the people’! that $47,997,807.03, collected from “all the people,” should be paid out to the few favored bondholders as a premium on their bonds? The enormous K’us turned over by Cleveland, the redemption trust fund transferUM to the available cash, and the profits on

coinage furnished a rich harvest for the bondholders. The tax levied on the people by the tariff laws continued to re- i plenish the depleted treasury. The protected mjmnfactUHirs wanted some part of the plunder under the Harrison administration. The McKinley bill was passed in Oc- ) tober, 1899, and th ■■ riyoipts from customs fell fronf 19,522,295.25 in 18.11 to $177,152,991.15 in 1892. This had its) effect on the c:r h b "ice, an 1, w’th.rhbillion do'l:tr con rr <s. created c~>ii-t •: nation in 11;o lv.>i< dry. Another J.i. la , With tbe <\'\>t s.'. lit lar .1 be 1 .: d‘ . Again it :r nst bo “revi •d” or iva-i or it would not s’now a dime of “avail-1 able cash” in ih<» trea .ury. The stale . ment for June 1, 1891. gave the net cash balance at $33,3-12,200.86. This looked like bankrnptcy, aivl July 1,1 91,’ the statement was “revised” or “re■ Prior tq this date the nickels, dimes, quarters and half dollars appeared on the statement as unavailable funds. The nickels, dimes, etc., are now trotted out and made to do duty as available cash, and thus help swell the cash balance. By tills transfer the available cash balance was increased to $53,893,808.83. This resort to nickels, dimes, etc., wa*>a humiliating act for the Harrison administration, and properly designates it as the DIME ADMINISTRATION. The Panic Came. But business men were not to be fooled by making available funds out of nickels and dimes. Capital became alarmed and the gold stream started across the ocean. Under Harrison the excess of exports of gold over imports Was $157,889,803, while under Cleveland’s first administration the imports largely exceeded the exports. In the meantime the McKinley act with its vicious provision for paying drawbacks make another dr:un on the treasury, $8,614,439.14 being the amount repaid importers in 1891 and 1892. [See secretary treasury report of 1892, page 23. | From July, 1891, until the close of Harrison’s administration the treasury was practically bankrupt. The last statement issued March 1, 1893, by Charles Foster, secretary of the treasury, places the net cash balance at $24,128,087.88. The same statement shows that of this amount $11,497,839.74 was nickels, dimes, etc. Harrison started with hundreds of millions and closed with dimes. Verily, he had run the ship into deep mud or a morass or a quagmire, or, as he terms it, a “slough.” He knew, as did.his secretary of the treasury, that the government was bankrupt. The latter gave orders to prepare for the issue of bduds; the plates were prepared, but the man who had inherited hundr eds of millions and was reduced to dimes haughtily announced “that there should be no increase of the national debt while he was president.” He preferred to turn the treasury O’ r in its bankrupt condition and force Cleveland to issue bonds. Before the close of his administration the ruinous effects of his “miserable makeshift” silver purchasing law, with the bankrupt condition of the treasury, lost the confidence of the world, ami millions of our securities were returned. The foundations of the panic had been laid wide and deep, and then the verv men (General Harrison being the mo-t prominent) who had laid them commenced their scarecrow work and have kept it up to this day. This may be statesmanship, but if it is the countryshould pray to be delivered from it. Above every’ souphouse should be erected the sign, “Harrison Souphouse.” THE HARRISON CAMPAIGN. Everything In Readiness to Spring the Presidential Boom. The Benjamin Harrison presidential boom is already on tap for 1896. The bung was driven in last Friday when Benjamin started on his “swing around the circle” in Indiana. He swung in a special train provided by the railroads which want the Indiana tax law repealed so that they may avoid paying their share of the expenses of the state government. It is understood that Mr. Harrison is not perfectly pleased with the result of his journey through the southeastern part of the state. His itinerary had been extensively advertised and the most earnest efforts had been made by the state and county committees to secure big crowds for him wherever the train stopped. At Evansville, the Mecca of his pilgrimage, a fairly good crowd was gathered, but not nearly so large or so enthusiastic as had been anticipated. This was something of a disappointment in itgelf. But the ex-president's reception elsewhere was positively discouraging. In many places the crowds (?) at the depots numbered only the Ordinary every day depot loungers. In some places at which he had been advertised to speak there was no one at all aud the proposed speechmaking was abandoned. The result of this tour was so barren of results that Mr. Harrison is said to seriously contemplate a refusal to make the journey to Fort Wayne, advertised for the latter part of this week. The committee realize that this would be as disastrous an admission of weakness as was Owen’s refusal to meet Captain Myers in joint debate, and they are making desperate efforts to induce the ex-president to carry out the programme. LABOR’S CHANCE. It* Opportunity Seen From • NonPartisan Standpoint. The next legislature is sure to be Democratic. It would take a Republican majority of 50,000 in the state to wrest the legislature from Democracy. This being true, with the additional fact that every law upon the statute books’* in this state favorable to 'abor was placed there by the Democratic party, it would seem the part of wisdom to aid in the selection of legislators of that political faith who are known to be favorable to labor interests. It is a proposition which needs no argument. Union men who sincerely desire the enactment of just laws favorable to labor Will appreciate the wisdom of conciliating rather than antagonizing influences which are bound to control in the next legislature.—lndianapolis Labor Signal. A Continual Offject Lesson. The new tariff laiy in all its parts will itself be a continual object lesson to voters, teaching them / the imposition of needled taxes can never benefit the people as a whole, but that every removal of them is a national boon. —Harper’s Weekly.
