We hope many of our readers will again take advantage of these liberal offers to secure their favorite peri Mica's. DuKi.nu this sloppy weather our sidewalks are apprec iated to their fullest extent by our eitzens. Thk mail who insists on things V mg done ‘'my way" or not at all, is sure to find before very long that he runs against an insurmountable stone wall of public opinion. Then i 1 he stands all day trying to pene1 ate this wall with his soft cranium t.-ed as a battering ram. he soon ti.ids only contempt for his action in the minds of observers. Is it not so, (j rover? Mr. Holman is said to oppose the issuing of bonds by the administration. In 1873 when it was proposed to issue bonds he opposed the measure, declaring it should be the policy of the government to reduce its expenses and lie succeeded in getting a resolution to this effect through house. “Following the idea of retrenchment,” says Mr. Holman, the next Congress made sweeping re- <’ actions in expenditures, the people were pleased and there never was another demand for the sale of bonds until the recent agitations, which r 'suited in Secretary Carlisle calling lor bids.” ' _ Interviews with the iron manufacturers of Alabama, published in Monday's Journal show a decided dislike to the present Wilson bill. ■ Mr. T. T. Hillman, who built the J.rst blast furnace in Birmingham an experienced iron master says: • There is no question that the Southern iron men cannot compete with the East and foreign cheap iron, free ore and free coal at the present ].rices paid our labor." But he further savs, “The fact is, the Ain bam a furnaces will not remain idle. They are getting ready to start, but the resumption of the business will only be delayed by the hesitancy of labor, to accept the reduced sale.” All the senseless debate in our legislative balls about changes in the tariff bring Into more prominence the necessity of placing the tariff question above the plane of polities ;, id making its adjustment a purely business'affair. A tariff commission that would consider the question apart from partisan) views, that would adjust duties, and change tariffs only when demanded by the interests of labor or capital and then only after due notice to the commercial interests, would be a great boon to the country. It would remove the principal bone of contention Irom Congress, to be sure, but that vould be no seriaus disaster to the country. A man in earnest finds means, or' jf he cannot fin,., creates them — Chai.ui-g. 1

Dux’s review of the business situation for the past week reports a decrease of about $000.00(1 in tariff duty receipts and of about $2,000,000 in internal revenue, or direct tax receipts for January, 1894, as compared with the same month of 1893. This is at 11 e ate of $122,000,000 a year. The whole revenue of the country has averaged (dose to $440,000,000 during the past six years. In view of the steady and regular decrease of the revenue it is pertinent to inquire what is to be our condition under the administration of a party whose policy reduces the re venue by more than one fourth, and thh i ( he face of almost a certainty oi of expenditure?
