UNTIE SAM’S CASH BOX TREASURER MORGAN SUBMITS HIS ANNUAL REPORT. Total Fiscal Receipts on All Accounts Were $724,006,338 and the Total Expenditures $608,008.552 —Insuflicient Revenues Impair Gold Reserve. Bond Issue a Necessity. The Treasurer of the United States, Hon. H. I>. Morgan, has submitted to Secretary Carlisle the annual report of the operations and condition of the treasury. The net ordinary revenues for the fiscal year ending June 30, cents omitted. were, $297,722,019, a decrease of $88,097,609 as compared with the year before. The net ordinary expenditures were $367,525,279, a decrease of $15,952,674. The total receipts on all accounts were $724,006,538, and the expend! tares $698,908,552. At the close of business on June 30, 1893, there stood on the books of the department charged to the treasurer a balance of $738,467,555. Adding to this receipts on all accounts gives $1,462,474,093 as total to be accounted for, and deducting the expenditures leaves a balance of $763,565,540 on June 30, 1894. In addition to these balances, however, there were other liabilities, arising from the postal revenues, from disbursing officers and from other sources, which brought the total to $776,041,808 at the former date, and to $804,854,753 at the latter. After setting aside the amounts treated as unavailable, the principal of which are the deposits made with the States under the law of 1866, there remained the sum of $746,538,655 in 1893 and the sum of $775,310,559 in 1894 represented by live assets in the several offices of the treasury and mint, together with deposits in national banks. Os the ft e ba land's the sums of $584,593,920 and $616,155,820, respectively, were on deposit fcr the redemption of outstanding certificates and treasury notes, leaving $161,991,735 and $150,154,739 as the balances cn account of the general fund. Impairment of the Gold Reserve. The treasurer remarks that the impairment of the gold reserve rendering necessary the issue of bonds in February, was caused chiefly by the depletion of the treasury resulting from insufficient revenues. Even when the supply of paper bad become so reduced that the treasury was obliged to pay out large sums of gold in the ordinary disbursements the coin was freely returned in the revenues. The proceeds of I his loan were $58,660,000 in gold coin and certificates, but during the month of February there were redeemed $19,200,000 Os notes in g- id. presumably to meet subscriptions to the loan, so that the net gold proceed* were About $39,500,000. This, with a gain of $1,500,000 in gold from ordinary sources, brought up the reserve during the month from $65,000,000 to sl<h» s s(MLooo, while the net assets of the treasury, with an excess of $7,000,000 of expenditures over receipts for the month, increased from $125,000,000 to $177.OOO,O(X). During the succeeding mouths till the end of the first week in Aug the reserve was affected by deficient revenues and withdrawals of gold for expoit, the movement abroad having been stimulated by the necessity which the treasury was under of furnishing to exporters new full weight after the supply of old pieces had become exhausted. The lowest point touched by the reserve was $52,189,500 on Aug. 7. 1894. Prior to July, 1892. the gold reserve was but little affected by the withdrawals of coin, there never having been any con siderable demand for the redemption of notes. Even when gold exports were heavy the metal was furnished by bankers from their vaults, or was obtained from the treasury for gold certificates, of course without impairment of the reserve. During the last two years, however, the treasury has been called upon to furnish nearly the whole of the requirements for exportation, and there have recently been considerable withdrawals for other uses. To the end of September last the total redemptions of United States notes in gold since the resumption of specie payments were $181,300,000, and the total redemptions of the treasury notes in gold from their first issue were $68,500,000. The two important events of the year affecting the condition of the public debt were the issue of $50,000,000 of 5 per cent, bonds to replenish the gold reserve and the stoppage of the purchase of silver bullion by the issue of treasury notes. Retirement of Treasury Notes. With reference to the retirement of treasury notes the Treasurer says that prior to August, 1893, the treasury had been able to provide for the redemption of treasury notes in silver dollars out of the holdings of free silver, so that there had not been, up to that time, any impairment of the total amount of the silver fund accumulated under the act. On the 3d of that month, however, tfie silver dollars and bullion in the treasury had become reduced to the amount required by law to be retained for the payment of outstanding treasury notes and certificates, and the demand for the redemption of notes continuing in cun sequence of the scarcity of the small denominations of currency, it became necessary to draw upon the dollars coined especially for that purpose. The silver fund being thus impaired, the notes so redeemed were canceled in order to preserve the required equality between the silver ill the treasury and the notes outstanding, The total amount of the notes retired in this way, up to Oct. 31. was $4,790,434. The amount of the new issues of United States paper currency put into circulation during the year was $350,959,100, having been exceeded but once, in 1892. The amount of worn and mutilated notes redeemed was $319,002,290. This also has been exceeded but once, in 1893. The total paper circulation reached its highest point in May last, when it stood at $1,175,000,000. Since then there has been a slight contraction, caused chiefly by the gradual redemption and retirement of gold certificates, the issue of which was suspended, as the law requires, when the gold reserve of the treasury fell below $100,000,000. The management of the Columbian Exposition having finally declined to defray the expenses of recoining the Columbian half-dollars, which have found their way into the treasury, they have been offered to the public at par in exchange for gold or gold certificates, and a considerable sum of them has been distributed in that manner. The Isabella quarters in the treasury Hie iciaiiiwi tiav- requisition of the board of lady managers of the Exposition. The amount of counterfeit silver coin

and fracttenal currency detected at the offices of the treasury during the year was $10,500, an increase of S9OO over the year before. There was an increase during the year of $1,552,250 in the face value of the bonds held on account of the sinking funds of the Pacific railroads, which amounted, on June 30, to $18,960,000. Notwithstanding a change in the reg illations, whereby senders of national bank notes for redemption were required to bear the charges for transportation, the redemptions were the heaviest since 1886. amounting to $105,000,000, or more thau half of the average circulation.

NUMBER OF ARRESTS MADE, 687 Work Tlone by the Secret Service Department of the Treasury. William P. Hazen, the Chief of the Secret Service of the Treasury Department, in his annual report shows that during the year the total number of arrests made was 687, nearly all of which were for violations of the statutes relating to counterfeiting I'nited States money. Os those arested about 300 were either convicted or pleaded guilty, and 120 are now awaiting the action of grand juries. The fines collected amounted to $5,947. The amount of altered or counterfeit notes captured during rhe year was $21,300; coins. $10,755. There were also captured 134 plates from which counterfeit notes had been printed, 33 dies, 156 molds, and a large quantity of miscellaneous matter, consisting of tools, melting pots, etc. WHOLE CITY WAS IN DANGER. Shelbyville, Ind., Has a Narrow Escape from Burning Down. At Shelbyville, Ind., by mistake the natural gas was given high pressure in the low pressure mains, and at midnight it was discovered that over 500 stoves and heaters in all parts of the city were melting under the intense heat, and buildings were igniting in every direction. The fire alarm was turned in, bells were rung, whistles sounded and the citizens were aroused from their slumbers to discover themselves in the midst of a general conflagration. The flow of gas was arrested and only three houses were burned. The destruction of these buildings amounted to considerable loss to the owners. If the alarm had been twenty minutes later nothing could have saved the city from destruction.

IS DUE TO FREE WOOL MANY WAGE ADVANCES IN TEXTILE MILLS. Cheaper and Better Clothing and More Mills Running—McKinley Is Challenged to Match This Showing—Election Result Not a Verdict for McKinleyism. Prosperity a Hand. Election or no election the beneficial ' effects of free wool are bound to show ■ themselves. Cheaper and better clotting. more mills running and many new lines being built, greater demand for spinners and weavers—these are some , if the results of free wool. During the irst seven weeks under free wool the Wool ami Cotton Reporter, in its "Bulletin of New Enterprises.” mentioned 87 new mills, 144 enlargements and improvements, 158 mills starting up, and inly seven mills shutting down betause of lack of orders. Many mills were reported as working double time, ind the scarcity of labor was so great in some textile districts that wages had to be advanced in many mills, and in ’many others strikes were on for higher wages. There is no abatement of this prosperity since the election. The Dry > Soods Economist of Nov. 17 contains mentions of thirty woolen, hosiery and knit goods mills. All but one of these nentions denote prosperity, while .rage advances are mentioned in two mses—one, the Berkshire Knitting Mill, at Pittsfield, Mass., which in- I ireased the wages of its 300 girls 10 per cent, and the other the Broad Brook (Conn.) Woolen Company, which I ‘has decided to pay its help weekly lereafter ami to advance wages "V. per cent.” Here are some of the wage j idvances which have been reported in j textile mills since Aug. 28, the ouly wage advances, w Itli one or two excep- j lions, which have been reported dur- ! ng the past four years: Date of pet ad- No. einNanie of mill. rep’t. vance. ployes.

McKinley, where are you? We challenge you to construct a similar table for 1890 to 1893.—Byron W. Holt. Tariff Reform's Great Los*. Many good tariff reformers have suffered defeat along with the few sham reformers who were largely responsible for the sacrifice. The good went: down with the bad. The Democratic ! party must see that only the good come | up. Among the fallen are Congressmen William L. Wilson, Tom L. Johnson, W. D. Bynum, Wm. J. Bryan, Chas. Tracey, Champ Clarke, and Jerry Simpson. John DeWitt Warner, Michael D. Harter, Clifton IL Breckinridge, and Bourke Cockran were among those who were not candidates. The cause of tariff reform, and therefore of the people, will suffer because of the loss of these earnest and capable leaders. It is impossible to fill their places during the next Congress. Fortunately, or unfortunately. it is unlikely that the Fif-ty-fourth Congress will make any important changes in the tariff duties, and it is not improbable that the Fiftyfifth Congress will contain more capable tariff reformers and free traders than does the Fifty-third. At least one of the newly elected Democratic Congressmen is a very able exponent of radical tariff reform. Indeed, some of the friends of John K. Cowen, of Baltimore, think him capable of filling Wm. L. Wilson’s shoes. Certainly he is a strong debater. Judge James G. McGuire and Benton McMillin are two able tariff reformers who will be returned to Congress. Perhaps those not returned can do more effective work outside than inside of Congress. It is certain that the cause of tariff reform will not go backwards. If the Republicans had full power next year they would not dare to raise duties except in a few instances. Free wool and lower duties have come to stay. Afraid of Responsibility. It is not at all certain that Reed, Dingley, Sherman. Allison and other Republicans who will return to Washington in 1895 are surry that they will have no opportunity to propose a tariff bill for more than one year, and probably will t have to assume responsibility for a new tariff law before 1898. The fact is they would not know what kind of a bill to make if they had power to make one now. They prefer to suspend both judgment and action until they are more certain what the people meant at the last election. They couldn’t have meant "Yes, we want McKinleyism,” for they have twice said “No, we won’t have McKinley duties.” About the only Republican authorities which are so foolish as to expect a return to McKinleyism, dutiable wool and all, are McKinley, the New York Press, and the Protective Tariff League. And none of these will be at Washington in 1895. Those who will be in power will be glad that they will have to rest on the Wilson bill until 1597. Then if the Republicans should still have the floor they will be compelled net only to no cept Wilson bill rates, but to lower them. It will be a “come-down” for

the high tariff Republicans to follow the lead of the Democrats, but public opinion must be respected, and it will be plainly declared before 1897. Republican legislators Mho care for their jobs will never again make duties at the behest of protected manufacturers. Democratic* Frin ip'« Will Entlure. Thanks to a few incompetent and dishonest leaders, the Democratic party must take a back seat for the next two years. But Democratic principles are as sound as ever and must, in the not distant future, become the foundation for all legislation. "Equal rights for all. special privileges for none,” is one of the fundamental doctrines that have held the party together since Jefferson first gave it birth. This apparently simple statement means everything in the science of government. If it were made the text for all legislation we would cease to make millionaires of some aud paupers of others, all of whom are equally deserving. Protection would be no more, for it is made up of nothing but special privileges. It confers upon a few favored industries the special privilege of taxing all other industries. Every industry should be compelled to stand or fall entirely upon its own merits. To aid some at the expense of others is to depart from the safe lines of action to the dangers of legislation in favor of selfish interests. Some day we will fully realize the necessity of denying special privileges to any individual or industry. It is the way, and the only way. by which all can obtain their equal and exact rights. It means the greatest good to the greatest number, and therefore, if for no other than enlightened self-in-terest, it must finally receive the full approval of the people. Senate Delay Responsible. The official copies of the Wilson bill as it was reported to the Senate bear these words: “Passed the House of Representatives Feb. 1, 1804; Feb. 2. 1894. read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.” Not until July 2 was the Senate’s version of the bill passed by that body; not until Aug. 28 did the bill become a law. Nearly seven dragging months had then elapsed since the reception of the bill from the House. In considering the effect of that delay one cannot avoid considering also the causes of delay, the effect of the changes which were made in the Senate at the dictation of a little group of men, and the popular disgust excited by the course and motives of this group. A measurement of the delay brings these things to mind, and it suggests an interesting question. What would have been the effect upon business and politics if the Senate had acted with reasonable expedition and if the new tariff had become a law on or before May 1? The passage on that date of a fair bill, after proceedings as free from scandal in the Senate as the proceedings in the House had been, would, in our opinion, have permitted the inevitable revival of business and industry to bo seen elearly before the campaign. It would also have excluded from the field of politics the influence of deplorable incidents which are fresh in every one’s mind.—New York Times. Good Men G in(*. Some of the best and some of the worst of the conspicuous men in the itouse of Representatives will disap pear, at least for the present, from that body after this session. Os the former, the chief, of course, is Mr. William L. Wilson, the faithful and noble leader in the cause of tariff reform. Another is Mr. Charles Tracey, of Albany, a most accomplished, able and devoted member, whose services to his party have been of the highest value, because they have tended to save it from its own weak or bad members. Mr. Tom L. Johnson, of Ohio, will be sadly missed. With some extreme notions, he was an open and aggressive fighter on the right side of the questions as to which his party was too much divided, —New York Times. Not Dead. The Democratic party is not dead; there will be no obsequies, no inquest, no funeral. It is only sick from having indulged in too much Hill-Gorman-Brice-Murphyism. With good physicians and careful watching it will be in prime condition by 1896. But it must rid Its system of all poison and permit no traitors to mix its food. An ounce of prevention in this matter of diet might have prevented the present sickness and have saved the pound of cure. if. If the Chicago platform had been the guide for the legislators at Washing ton, If its tariff plank had been made law in 1893, If there had been no sugar trust scandal, If Democratic Senators had all been honest If but what is the use of crying over spilled milk? Freedom Still Elves. Now Republicans are predicting the death of the Democratic party. Shortsighted and false prophets! Have they not yet learned that defeat strengthens and solidifies the hosts of Democracy ? The Democratic party can never die so long as freedom has a meaning cherished by freemen—Pomeroy (Ohio) Democrat —The New Haven Register (Dem.) says: “No general overhauling of the tariff schedules can be tolerated for the present but a great deal of good can be done by a few simple measures, and the sooner they are passed, the greater CTCtli** th<» T-innvxlzx *- . i I ~ co Uafe I ocradc party for the revival of busi- , ness already so well begun."
