CAUSE OF THE SLUMP. HARD TIMES AND DEMOCRATIC STAY-AT-HOMES DID IT. What the Analysis of Election Returns Shows-All Talk of Rei>ealing the Income Tax Is Pure Vaporing— Cleveland and the Bond Issue. Vote Will Return in *96. The vote in the recent State elections has been sufficiently canvassed so that It is possible to make comparisons and arrive at somewhat definite conclusions tn regard to the causes of the country's apparent backslide into protectionism. The greatest changes occurred in the Northern and Eastern States, and it is in these States that we can see most clearly the general causes of the changes. In many of the Southern and Western States one or the other of the two great parties was to win votes by borrowing planks from this party’s platform. Hence the changes in the results are more irregular and uncertain than in the North or East. Comparing the results in 1894 and 1892 in the more important of the Northern and Eastern States, and Including Maryland, Delaware, Virginia ami West Virginia, we have: Dem. Stay-at-Dem.

Virginia.. 8,291 10 5,515 7 2.786 •Gain. '/Loss. The Democratic loss in these fifteen Stales averages 22 per cent, and the Republican gain 8 per cent It is the almost unanimous opinion of those who have studied the history that “hard times” always causes a loss of votes to the party in power no matter which party was responsible for the “hard times.” Though the Democratic party may have been partly responsible (because of a few black sheep) for their duration, no sane person whose opinion is worth anything will deny that the “bard times" was a result of Republican legislation or lack of legislation. The Republicans had been in power for thirty years. Not only did the panic begin before a single Republican law had been changed, but the financial stringency was felt so much before the close of Harrison's administration that bis Secretary of the Treasury had made preparations to issue bonds. Five per cent, is a low estimate for the Democratic loss and Republican gain because of hard times. There is then left a Democratic loss of 17 and a Republican gain of 3 per cent to be explained by other causes. Aside from State and local causes, which cut no small-figure in the general result it is probable that after “hard times" the four most important causes were Demoaratlc delay in Congress, the sugar scandal, conservatism of Democratic Senators and Congressmen on the tariff question, and changes of belief as to the benefits of protection. The first three of these causes operated in keeping Democrats at home, and the last in changing Democratic (formerly) into Republican votes. ’ Had it not been for the Democratic voters who staid at home, the result in most States would have been very close. Add to these non-voting Democrats those who in New York, Ohio New Jersey and Maryland voted the Republican ticket, in order to “turn down” some of the Democratic traitors who blocked tariff legislation, and it becomes evident that there are to-day enough Democrats left to carry a majority of the Northern States on the tariff issue. The result, then, is neither a Republican nor a protectionist victory, but merely a Democratic slump. Comparatively few of the voters have actually become afraid of tariff reform and voted the Republican ticket because they wished to return to McKinleyism. Some of these, and most of the five per cent, who changed sides blindly because of hard times, will return to the Democratic party by 1896, if this party rids itself of those who hare betrayed and disgraced it. Let the Democratic party stand by tariff reform and tariff reformers and the people will stand by the party. Byron VV. HolL A Tax to Stay. The talk about repealing the income tax or preventing its collection by withholding the appropriation necessary to '.ts collection is pure vaporing. The income tax is here to stay. The Treasury is in need of the revenue it will yield. Its principle is just It will oppress none and relieve many. No Re publican leader of prominence ventured to denounce it during the late canvass. As for the voice of the people, what was the verdict in the States whose Democratic Senators and Representatives declaimed and voted against the Income tax. Senator Hill was the most bitter and persistent opponent of this Just tax. Senator Murphy joined with him and insisted furthermore upon McKinleyizing the Wilson bill for the ben efit of his own home and pocket If the people of Now York approved of this course of their Senators they took a queer way of showing it in burying Mr. Hill under more than 150,000 majority. Senator Smith, of New Jersey, himself a member of the plutocratic clas o that believes in taxing everybody rather than itself, was likewise very hostile to the income tax. New Jersey repudiated him by more than 40,000 majority. Senator Brice, of Ohio, was a leading spirit in the combine of false Democrats who held up the Wilson bill and tried to defeat the income tax. Ohio served to quit on Brice by a

majority so big that the Democrats were glad to stop counting it There were other causes at work, of course, but no warrant can be drawn from the election in any State that the people are dissatisfied with the income i tax. It may hereafter be graded and I otherwise improved, but it will not be , repealed.—New York World. Cleveland on Bond Issues. The President's statement In regard to the issue of bonds is not all in the nature of an apology. It is simply to the effect that the gold reserve was so much reduced and its further reduction in the near future seemed so certain that its replenishment became neces sary in order to maintain the public credit. It would have been well if Congress had made provision for such an emergency \)y authorizing the issue of low-rate, short-time bonds. Rut Congress had not done this, and nothing was left but to sell bonds again under the resumption act. This was done on terms which reduced the rate of interest on the money actually borrowed below 3 per cent. That is the whole story. But the President proceeds to show how. under existing laws, the same greenbacks can be used again and again to clean out the reserve. “We have an endless chain in operation.” as he aptly puts it, "constantly depleting the treasury's gold and never near a final rest.” And in addition to the obligation to redeem greenbacks in gold as often as they may be presented we have the obligation to maintain the silver circulation at par with gold, and this subjects the reserve to another drain. There is no other way to maintain the reserve than by the sale of bonds; "and yet Congress has not only thus far declined to authorize the issue of bonds best suited to such a purpose but there seems a disposition in some quarters to deny both the necessity and the power for the issue of bonds at all.” And yet the President does not repeat his request for authority to issue suitable bonds or to retire legal tenders when they are redeemed. Instead of that he simply says that so long as no better way is provided the authority conferred by the act of 1875 “will be utilized whenever and as often as it becomes necessary to maintain a sufficient reserve, and in abundant time to save the credit of our country and make good the financial declarations ofour government” He has called the attention of Congress to the subject with all due respect heretofore, and it has done nothing. It has left him under a very disagreeable necessity, and he may be excused if he does not mince matters in stilting the situation and his duty in circumstances for which Congress and not he is responsible.—Chicago Herald. Free Fuel a Necessity ! It should go without saying that every bushel of coal which Americans directly or indirectly use Is now taxed. “Protectionists” intimate that because there is no duty on anthracite coal it is not affected by the tariff. But it is certain that if the present tax was taken off bituminous cuais the prices of anthracite would come down. The tariff on imported soft coals tends to exclude them from many markets, and thus to give anthracite a virtual monopoly. The tax on all coals is, moreover, complex. It is repeated every time we buy any article in making which coal is used. And this oft-multiplied tax greatly increases the cost of living to every one In America.

Free coal is a pressing necessity to our manufacturers—to enable them to produce their fabrics cheaply enough to compete with foreign goods In both the home and foreign markets. It is necessary to lighten the cost of transporting farm products to market,which cost is deducted from the very slim profits now realized by our farmers. It is a necessity for our steam-shipping. Free coal would also be an inestimable boon to all householders, especially to the poor. The Senate should pass the free coal bill next week, before winter’s blizzards begin to blow. A College President's Opinion. And here comes President Seth Low of Columbia College, who says he is and has always been a Republican, but that he has voted twice for Mr. Cleveland on the tariff issue. Interpreting the late election, he remarks that It would not be candid to pretend that there has been no reaction against tariff reform. There has been such a reaction, and President Low seems to agree with Chairman Wilson that it reflects an unreasoning consideration of the question rather than deliberation by the people. He is a pretty good tariff reformer yet, and he is confident that there will be no Mcp backward.—New York Times. From a Republican Authority. The Chicago Tribune predicts tint “when the Republican National convention meets in June of 1896, to tell the voters what the Republican party will do if successful in the fall, neither Senator Cullom nor any other man will demand that the McKinley bill be made the Issue of the campaign, md that the people be asked to vote, not against the Wilson-Gorman bill, but for the McKinley bill. Not one of them will dare to do it He will remember 1890 and 1892. and will refuse to blunder a third time.” Lives Disgraced. Andrew Carnegie says that "a man who dies rich dies disgraced.” There are people in this world who think t hat a man who lives rich off the unrequited sweat and earnings of his feilow men lives disgiacvd. The fact that Carn g’e may bestow away during his life the illgotten gains of robber tariffs does not remove the disgrace from the methods by which the wealth was produced.— Chicago Herald.

IIOU SAILORS ARE FED. — EATING ARRANGEMENTS ON UNCLE SAM’S WARSHIPS. the Captain Takes His Meals Alone. Officers Mess Together. Substantial Fare for the Men. The table on a warship is coniucted as well as any and better than most hotels which are called first slass. There are five messes on board ship, four of which are officers’ messes, and the other is called the ship’s company mess. A captain has a private table in his cabin, and the Government allows him four servants. He must not have any one to dine with him regularly, but he may invite any of his officers if he feels so inelined. It is not a general thing, however, for the Captain to have a table mate more than once or twice a week. The mess of the officers between the grade of junior lieutenant and lieutenant-commander is called the ward room mess. The First Lieutenant sits at the head of the table -ind the officers are ranged along to the right and left of him according to rank and length of service. A ward room dinner is by no means a formal affair, though it is not the thing for an officer, unless he be going on watch, to sit before the Lieutenant-Commander is seated. The Lieutenant-Commander, Executive Officer, or, as he is most generally termed, the “first luff,’’ is the head of the mess and is generally responsible for the preservation of order at the table. Should heated arguments arise it is lie who settles them when he thinks the limit of argument lias been reached. Arguments, however, are very rare, for when men live together as naval officers must, each one is careful that he says nothing to offend any of his shipmates. There are certain subjects that are tabooed at a mess table, md among them are religion, politics md women. The officers’ meals on shipboard ire arranged after the French style. That is, coffee and toast on rising, breakfast at noon and dinner at 7 o’clock. Then there is generally in informal luncheon later in the evening. The Government does not furnish the table service and linen, and so each officer on joining a ship must pay his share for the table set, and they must also supply their own napkins and other table linen. The financial part of the mess is run on the co-operative principle, and the funds are in the hands of a oaterer. Should an officer, after paying his share toward the table service, be detached from the ship, he can draw from the caterer the amount that he invested, and the officer relieving him must buy up the share that lie held.

Every month the officers must pay a certain amount of money, generally about $35 per man, to the caterer tor the mess running expenses, for the Government only allows $9 a month ration money to each man, be he Captain or cook. If the entire amount of money put in is not spent, ivliy the money goes into the slush fund and becomes a part of the mess property, each member having an equal share in it. This money is - allowed to accumulate, and is used in purchasing new tableware and other things to be used in common. I Though, on the other hand, should the mess money prove insufficient for I the month’s expenses the officers j must be assessed to make up the deficiency. The selection of a caterer, i therefore, isavery important matter, for a good caterer can keep a good ! table on little money, while a bad j one can run the mess heels over head in debt and then not feed them j well. An officer, generally an old I sea dog, is elected caterer, and iiis i term of office lasts as long as he ’ "gives satisfaction.” It is he who engages the mess attendants, gives orders to the steward and pavs the j bills. The junior officers or steerage mess is conducted on about the same plan as the ward room mess, only here ; the amount subscribed monthly is generally only about $25. At Jack’s mess, up on the gun or ! berth deck, tilings are run somewhat differently from the officers’ style. Table linen is unknown, and each man has his own bowl, plate, knife, fork and spoon. Uncle Sam gives $9 a head for the feeding of the boys in blue, and the boys themselves subscribe about $3 a month, and make the amount sl2 a man. There are twenty men at each of the crew's messes, and each of these messes elects its own caterer. The caterer is generally a sailor with some financial ability, and he must also be a total abstainer from intoxicating drink. Under these circum- ' stances it is not strange that the men are averse to taking the job of caterer, but when one does take the job his trouble begins, because the favorite amusement at a sailors’ m -ss is to abuse the caterer. If a caterer of a ship’s company mess succeeds in keeping out of debt, he is looked upon as a wonder, and his reputation on shipboard as a man of brain is thereafter beyond question. But the general rule is tor a caterer to spread a good table for a month and then run the mess so hopelessly in debt that fresh meat cannot bo brought more than once a week. There is a man detailed as cook for each mess, and he has a burden which would prove too heavy for any but the most hardened sailor. Should the steak be too rare the cook is blessed a sea blessing of course, or should the breakfast be late, the coffee cold, or the butter rancid, why the eook will be blamed lor it, and his mess-mates are never

j afraid of hurting his feelings by te.lI ing him that lie is to blame. The cook must rise at 5 A. M- a e * ■ have hot coffee ready for the crew by I 5:30 o’clock, lie must have breakI fast ready by 8, dinner by 1- and supper by 5. After each meal he must wash all of his kettlesand pans and have them ready for the master-at-arms to inspect. Far into the night, when every one else is enjoying life, the cook must sit by his tallow dip and peel spuds for the morrow’s breakfast. Taken all in all, though, mesa life on shipboard is much better than most persons suppose. Hard tack and salt-horse are almost unknown now. and salt water coffee has long been done away with. The officers’ table fare is very good, and the fare of the crew, though plain, is healthy, and table life at sea isn’t such a bad thing after all.—[New Y'ork Sun. CHICKEN RAISING. The Old Man Shows the Young One Its Dangers.’

An elderly man and a young man were sitting on the veranda conversi ing“Yes,” said the young man, “I am going into chicken-farming. I am convinced that there is no business in the world in which there is more money to be made. I have figured on it, and think I know what 1 can do. Why, look at the way they increase. In four or five jears I—“My friend,” said the old man, “I have had experience in the business. Be warned; do not embark in it. You know not what you do.” “What!” said the young man; “ have you tried it and failed? ” “ I mean to tell you that I tried it anil gave it up,” answered the other. “ I got ten hens, intending to get rich, as you purpose doing. I installed them in a coop and awaited returns. Bat before they had laid an egg I happened to pick up a pencil and a bit of paper and do some calculating. At a low estimate I saw that each of my hens could raise three broods the first summer. Allowing for one bad egg in each sitting, there would be twelve chicks to each brood. Calling half of them pullets, this would give six to each brood, or 18 to each hen for the season, or ISO i for the entire flock. Adding my original ten, I would have 190 hens at ; the end of the first summer. Figuring at the same ratio, I saw that I would have 3,610 at the end of the second summer. I was encouraged, and went on to find that I would have 68,590 when the third summer dosed. I sharpened my pencil, and bentover my paper with feverish interest. The I fourth summer, I discovered, would leave me with 1,303,210 likely hens. When the autumn leaves of the fifth j dying summer should swirl about me I would have 21,760,990 cacklers. Another year of joys and sorrows—- ; my sixth—would find me surrounded by 470,458,810 live and enterprising ' hens. Once again, when the seventh summer should fade into glorious autumn, I found that a matter of 8,938,717, 390 distinct hens and a rooster or two would be with me in the gallinaceous flesh. The inspiring figures j for the eighth year I have forgotten, | as, likewise, I have those of the ninth. I only know I found that at the end of ten years I would have more prime hens than there was ■ space for on the surface of the globe, counting the arctic regions, and sup- | posing roosts across all rivers and { twenty fowls in each tree. I was dumbfounded. But I did not hesi- | tate. I saw what I owed to the hu man race. I seized an axe and hurried to the coop. My boy, I loved those hens, but I loved humanity . more; and I led them to the block I like a Spartan, and chopped off their heads. I breathed more freely when lit was all over, and the horrible 1 , vision was gone of the whole earth ' I four feet deep in hens, and every ‘ : blessed one of them cackling. Young ' j man, do not go into the chicken business; it leads to awful things.” ’ The young man started up. “Great 1 j Caesar!” he exclaimed. “I won’t. ! j I did not realize what I was doing.” ’ j —[Harper’s Magazine.

The reports of the Cabinet Ministers had been received, and both houses discussed theni carefully. Congressman Fithian, of Illinois, introduced two bills affecting the shipping interests. The bills were designed to relieve sailing vessels of a portion of their tonnage tax. and transfer it to steam vessels, and to change the measurement law to make it conform to those of Great Britain.

An important provision of the measure is that requiring import duties to be paid in gold in cases where the articles of importation are brought from countries who Governments refuse to open their mints to the free coinage of silver and gold.
