Who will dare assert that the Republicans in Congress are not political schemers, capable of seeing far into the future? They passed appropriation hills that overwhelmed the U. S.

ing to the end that the Democratic party may not forget its platform pledges and the demands of the peo pie ; it is not a chastennng by way of correction, because the Democratic party is in no way responsible for the condition of the country—these conditions are the direct result of Republican administration and legislation. Demotrats will heed and hustle to do right for right’s sake, as well as because of promises heretofore made. The people demand revenue reform and a reduction of tarifl taxation to a revenue basis; they demand that wealth shall bear its just proportion of national taxation, and to this end an income tax should be levied ; they demand that silver shall be given the place in the coinage and currency of the country that it occupied before it was demonetized by the Sherman law of ’873 ; they demand that it any discrimination be made in the levy of taxes, luxuries be made to bear the brunt of the burden, and that necessities be taxed as lightly as possible; they demand that the Democratic party make good the corner-stone upon which it rests—that all legislation shall be enacted to bring to the greatest number the greatest good. The Democrats in Congress should prove their faith by their works when the regular session opens in December ; words unaccompanied by action

don’t count.

And now for tariff reform and a Strengthening of the lines of the Democratic party before the elections of 1894 take place. Strength comes by

Tim rr.unl* nf financial panics ever known in this or any A ne result oi i 0 t|, cr country. We adjourn with quiet busf- „ flmaton ness circles, and a fair degree of restored i u (-ii.ie i - con ii,j ence prevailing in all parts of the coun-

try. It will, of course, take time for the various business pursuits to fully recover from the overwhelming financial shock and depression which have afflicted the country for the last six mouths, but the signs of healthy improvement are now visible on every hand, and good omens for the employment of labor cheer us from all quarters. With a careful, fair and honest revision of tarifl'taxation now to follow at the regular session, only thirty days distant, I predict that we will enter upon a solid and lasting career of prosperity for the laboring and producing masses of every section of our beloved and glorious

Union.

“In looking back over the incidents and scenes which marked the session just closed, I have nothing hut pleasant and kindly feelings toward all. I attribute my success in the management of ray bill to the fact that while firm and uncompromising in pushing it forward, 1 aimed to at all times be patient liberal and fair toward every member of the Henate, and I am thoroughly convinced that a eontrary course would hove resulted in defeat. I believe such is the opinion also of every Senator; very many of them having

personally assured me.

“The darkest hour for the bill was after Sherman's famous interview a month ago, in which he encouraged its enemies and discouraged its friends by declaring in the strongest terras that unconditional repeal could never pass the Henate. 1 felt that blow more than any other in the long contest, and, in my judgment, it prolonged the fight at least two weeks. Mr. Sherman was very anxious for a compromise embracing the Issue of bonds, and that was the meaning and purpose of his strong speech in the Senate when he arraigned the Democratic side of the chamber for having so long delayed an effort to compromise. All these utterances and

dismal predictions on the part of the acknowledged leader of the Republican party could have but one effect. They encouraged Messrs. Teller, Dubois and their allies to fight on. and they chilled and dampened the hopes and zeal of many staunch supporters of the bill. I have very great respect for Mr. Sherman's high ability, and for him personally, but I have never believed, and do not now, that he had any real liking for the bill, or that he keenly desired its enactment into law, unless it carried an amendment providing for the issuance of a goodly supply of government bonds I do not, however, desire to indulge in a word of unkind criticism of any one, and I gladly bear testimony to the kind, untiring, faithful support which the bill received from the large body of Republican Senators who

finally gaue it their vote.

"On the Democratic side of the chamber, while there were very strong ditfereuceo of opinion, I do not know of a single unfriendly feeling left by the protracted discussion. Neither party organization uor personal relations have been disturbed. We will take up our work on the tariff and other great questions when we meet herein December, as if nothing had happened to mar our peace with one another or to impair our strength for the public good. Our faith in the present able,

moons.

Of one thing there can be no doubt; results have demonstrate, that tlurecent hard times and financial Hurn were due entirely to Republican legi-s lation, extravagance, and mismanage ment. It is not according to tin eternal fitness of things that the inno cent should suffer tor the crimes of the guilty, but so it is, so it lias been, and so it will be.

The Republicans in Congress, under the lead of Sherman, are demanding that the government issue new gold interest-bearing bonds to the amount of $200,000,(XX), and eveiy effort is being put fortb by these servers of capi tal to create an emergency that will force such a bond issue We hope and believe that this Democratic ad miniistration will prevent the consum illation of such a scheme.

The promises made in Congress 'a vorable to the enactment of new silver coinage laws cannot materialize too soon. Many of the advocates o f the repeal of the Sherman purchasing clause said i*nd reiterated the saying : "Unconditional repeal first, then a new silver coinage law.” Let them rush to the front now and make their promises, express and implied, good— the people expect and demand it.

The Indiana Supreme Court has decided that the election bribery law passed by the legislature of 1889, is constitutional and correct. This law provides that the person who bribes or offers to bribe a voter is liable to a forfeiture of $3<.0, to be paid to the person whom he bribes, and an attorney’s fee of $150, to be paid to the at torney who prosecutes, for each separate conviction This is another step forward toward securing purity and honesty in elections, and it is a Demo cratic measure.

The bill introduced by Congressman Geo. W. Cooper, ot this district, taxing greenbacks, is a good one, am: should become a law it could be im proved, however, and made more just and equitable if a provision were added taxing all other government bonds. A greenback is just as much a government bond as are the bonds locked up in thf vaults of capitalists, and if one is taxed the other should be also. Tax all the bonds—bondholders should not escape taxation.

House Proceed lugs.

The house failed to agree to the clause in the urgency deficiency bill providing hack pay for senators' clerks, aid the measure went over until the regular session. Mr. Springer (111.) made an ardent appeal in the interest of Mrs. Potter Palmer’s proposition awarding diplomas to designers, artisans and others who had contributed toward making the Columbian exposition a success. This proposition was taken out of the urgent deficiency bill and started on a new tack as a joint resolution aud went through the house. It was sent over to the senate, but it was too late, and will have to be hung up until Decem-

ber.

The house also failed to agree to the senate amendments to the bill authorizing a rebate of half the duties imposed upon such foreign exhibits in the Columbian exposition as may be sold and a rebate of all the duties on such imported exhibits as may be donated to or purchased by the Columbian museum of Chicago. A conference committee was appointed. It reported just before adjournment recommending an agreement with the senate amendment remitting the duties only on such exhibits at the world’s fair as may be donated or purchased for the Columbian museum, and the house accordingly accepted the amendment and the bill went to the president. At 3 p. m. Speaker Crisp in a few words announced a sine die adjournment Work of th© Extra Session. At the extraordinary session sixteen joint resolutions and seventeen bills became laws. Three of these joint resolutions were signed Friday and nine of the bills. The last propostion to become law was the joint resolution amending the act approved April 25, 1890, relating to the admission of articles intended for the World’s Columbion exposition. Other bills signed Friday were as follows: Transferring the model battleship Illinois to the state of Illinois as a naval armor;; donating abandoned cannon to the G. A. R. at Pittsburgh, Pa; act amending the Geary Chinese law. to regulate terms of the United States circuit aud district courts In the state of South Dakota; increasing the number of officers of the army and navy to be detailed to colleges; to regulate the fees of the clerk of the United States court for the Indian territory; amending an act to provide for holding terms of United Slates court In Idaho and Wyoming- amending section iTJ4 of revised statutes relating to mining claims; providing for the construction of steam revenue cutter for service on the great lakes, and an act In regard to the world's fair prize winners exposition to be held in New York city. Additional important bills which were signed by the president during the extra session included the famous silver biU repealing the purchasing clause of the Sherman act. Also the following: Authorizing acknowledgements to the various foreign governments who participated in the commemoration of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus; for the reporting, marking and removing of derelicts; act in aid of the California Midwinter International exposition; act to extend the time for completing the wont of the eleventh census; act amending the act to repeal timber culture laws; several bills relating to the Cherokee outlet, and a MU to settle the Mormon church fund.
