The fact that the amount of money in actual existenc e is ies than the active business Interests of ho country demand I. a most oppresbtvoovl but the power of money center-, aad ot money organization to contract the curicnoy without limit or restraint, to Virtually strip tho tountry of the money it o much need, and to hoard it away tor purposes of usury and speculation. 1 perhap the blackest and most pernicious crime provided for la the whole body ot republican äuanrtal legislation. Tho vicious machination ot republican law. makers, surrendering every Interest of tho people to the control of financial corporation, authorizing them to contract the currency and to deprive the country of it circulating medium whenever tho hardened villainy of avarice desires to ms' huge prortt. may ba properly styled the giant national curse of the age In which we l.ve N'o deep. dark, rotten. alamatlc fen or swamp was ever more certain to propagate death-dealing malaria than is the power of money contraction, lodged in the hands of private greed, to blight and destroy the general welfare of the country The idea here presented Is an appalling one. No other governtnent within the boundarie ot civilization, as fsr as I can leara. ha ever committed to private parties the power to make money plenty or to make money scarce, tiznei easy or time hard, create business prosperity or business bankruptcy, the power, la fact to circulate the governments own currency or to withhold it from circulation at such time and under such circumstances and in such amounts us will inure to th 'jeaerit of private speculation and rersonai gala rather than to tho public Interest. Yet u;a is exactly the terrible pjwer wherewith me republican party has endowed the great money corporation of the country, and such Is the fatal jiower they have so often called Into disastrous actlsn.

Tho brighten feature of tht tariS Is found in the tact that it Is a turning point in the history ot o.r economic legislation. It signalizes the final stage in the most costly experiment ever tried by a jaceful nation. For an entire generation of men this country ha continued to apply the doctrines of an unsct'ntlKc. narrow, provincial school of economists who teach that a people enrich themselves by diverting their energies from more or les, productive Industrie, by taxing, hampering anl dlcouraging those activities for h ch tueir otl. climate and abilities are adapted, and foster Ing those which are unnatural to them.

The busaboo which lias been held up before the public tiiat the repeal of the iniquitous. McKinley law would be. followed by an enormous advance in tho price of Migar itas proved a myth. There has been no advance in the on china, spoons, cutiery. earthenware and gla.s.stvare has been reduced to a revenue basis, with incidental protection. The ltugie man is a bogus apparition, lie has neither spurs nor carbine. lie is harmless. "There has been no advance in tho price of sugar, even to the, extent of a nickel on a million pounds, since the new tariff law went into effect," says the head of a large mercantile company of this city. "The retailers have made the trilling advance during the canning and fruit preserving season 1 . 1 t II 1 l"ul '""'.'"i made every year. It t the logical consequence of an exlraordinarv demand. l!ut the tariff legislation had nothing to do with it, director remote. There has been no increase to wholesale purchasers, whether the demand is for English. .Scotch. German or domestic product. The delay in legislation and the protracted session of congress impaired business," he adde.1. "but the new congress hai not increased the price of sugar." These are the plain facts in th e case. is for these reasons that the sugar trust and its agents, the republican Senator, fought so vigorouslj- for tho perpetuation of the McKinley law. The refiners are restrained by the antitrust feature of the new law from advancing the price of the product of their works, and are obliged to pay the tax which the new law provides from the lionus the McKinley law afforded them. It is an expensive change to them, but not such a one aa cripple the industry. The Amer5can sugar refiners can compete with and conquer the world. The difference -1S that now thev have to be content ;fl, fr,. , i..:.:,, , .w,th Ule .,r Vrotlt? of eSt"ato ouMness. ine people win no longer be plundered for their benefitIt having thus been shown that there has been no advance in the price of sugar. It is easy to ascertain the exact advantage of the new sujrar schedule to the people. Under the McKinley law a bounty of two cents a pound tvas paid to sugar producers. j That bounty amounted in the agrr.t'atr to Mü.000.000 last rrar. T ho a litr..r..nti,t . got a differential pro tection of one-half a cent a pound, which amounted last year to S-Ü.W0,-000. Of this .sum not a dollar went into the treasury, though the people paid it in the shape of taxes on their sugar This tax on the food of the people is released absolutely. On tho other hand, the new tax will produce to the treasury Stt.OOO.CO'J annually, and, as there is no advance in the price of sugar, this is a clear gain. Adding the three sums together and the total is 6TT.0O0.0Ut), which is the actual gain to the xorde from the change in the tax law in the matter of sugar. Kansas Citv Times. Krrotirous lnrrin(lin. "The people of the l'uited .States' says a republican oracle, "consume sixty-two pounds of sujrar per capita, which means, that on the total amount consumed in a year under the present tariff law thev will nav SlO.000.03.) more than they paid for the same amount under the McKinlevlaw. Thisis onc u tOM Pam an,i practical Xorth American political facts which the aver age citizen can rea lily comprehend." Without stopping to consider the accuracy of these figures, it is suilHent to say that if the people pay 50.000.0 )0 more on sugar than they did under the .Mersiniey law. uiey not only Had ty pav that $40.000,003 on other artielei . ....... , ... iniifr lins .MP is niiii- inw. imr. 111 i-if. . . : " ... . - ing tue fiu.ouu.ii'jo into tue treasury they paid out fully a hundred million more on the same articles which rever got to the treasury.

Delegates to the New York democratic state convention ln-gan to Hie into Mie Kink at a little K'foro Vi o'clock today. The first body to arrive was the Albany phalanx, and they were followed by the New York state democracy, their purple badges with gold fringe making theai conspicuous as they gatltered in the south end of the rink, where a place had been reserved for them. The Tammany people did not come as a Inxly. They took seats near the center of the hall. When nominations for governor were -clared to lv in order, the chairman ( enator 1 1 SI ! recognized üalen K. llitt, 1 1 Albany, who put in nomination the l ime of John iloyd Thacher.

Stnator Dacht f. Ulli When Mr. llitt had finished. Kldyn Heynolds. of Allegheny, arose anil said: "The united delegation of Allegheny county desires to pluce in nomination their first and onlv choice, David it. Hill." This was all he had time to say. The crowd went wild with enthusiasm. Men stood on their seats and waved their hats for three minutes, Senator Hill pounded with the gavel. Finally Col. Fellows, of New York, arose, and the crowd, thinking that he would say something about Hill, subsided. -senator Hill then asking the indulgence of Col. Fellows said; "I am grateful to the democrats of the Umpire state for the courtesy and kindness of the past; but 1 must say to you I cannot agree to Ins your candidate again for governor." Mr. Cockran then put the question to the convention: "Will you make the nomination unanimous'.'" Ewryone in the hall, delegates, spectators and all yelled "Aye." Turning to Senator Hill. Mr. Cockran then said: "Senator Hill, we summon you to your duty." Col. W. A. Drown also spoke, seconding the nomination of Senator Hill, of New York. Half a dozen delegates moved to suspend the roll-call for nominations, but Senator Hill quickly remarked that he had had some cxjerience with legislative boil les, and the rales of the assembly under which the convention was acting would not permit tin- suspension of the roll call and directed the secretary to proceed. The counties of Oneida, Orange, Oswego, Queens, Rockland, St Lawrence. Schoharie. Stuben, Suffolk, Tompkins, Wayne, Westchester and Yate.s, all seconded Mr. Hill's nomination. (Jalen 11. Hilt, of Albany, then withdrew the nomination of Mr. Thacher. This was a signal for another shout of applause. In the midst of it all Senator Jacob A. Canter shouted that as Albany had withdrawn her candidate there was but one name before the convention, and he moved that David 15. Hill be nominated by acclamation. Secretary Charles II. DeFreest put the question. The calls of "Aye" shook the rafters, and there were no "Noes." DeFreest declared Senator Hill nominated, and delegates and shouters cheered and threw their hats in the air. Senator Hill stood calmly, impassively in his place, ignored the will of the convention for the second time, and bringing his gavel down with a resounding whack declated the delegates ami their spontaneous proceedings out of order. Mayor tliilroy. I'ourke Cockran.James W. Hinckley and other prominent leaders climbed upon the platform and urged Senator Hill to accept. He still refused to recognize tha unparliamentary methods of the delegates. Then Mayor Uilroy got a chance to say a word to the convention. He said: "I only desire to say that there has. Von no question that it is the unanimous desire of this convention that David lt. Hill carry the democratic standard, and he has never yet refused to oIk'v the demands of his party. There can lie no doubt now if lie is nominated properly he will accept, I Cheers. We should, however, proceed deliberately, so that there can Ik; nocharge that this convention was stampeded for any man." This had a pacifying effect, anil the roll ,-all of counties on tho ballot for governor was proceeded with. When the roil call was ended. Secretary DeFreest announced in his ponderous tones: "The ballot shows that fKt votes have In-en cast, and all were for David II. Hill. Thatsettled iL Pandemonium broke loose. Delegates climbed over tables and chairs and upon the platform. They congratulated the presiding oftieer. and would hardly refrain when lie pounded with Iiis gävel for order. Congressman Daniel II. Lockwood was nominated by acclamation for lieutenant-governor, as was Judge Ciaynor for judge of the court of up. peals. 1-jtr nnd Order To be Knarred In Pitt, lmrsh by a Vlgibu.re t.r.igiii.

Although grave, the situation is not us serious as some reports have painted it to be. Cupt. Dlaekwell is at Cnioiitown with close to 100 armed deputies, provisions, ammunition, etc. As he lias received his copy of the tax books, there seems to be nothing for him to do but to move. On the other hand the taxpayers are armed and ready, although no public demonstration is being made. There has been no public display of arms, neither has there been any wholesale arming of the citizens, but 1,000 or 1,500 armed men could lm mustered in a few hours. Capt. DluekweU's stronghold, and which has been painted us u veritable post, is liveacre stump Held, surrounded by a fouifoot palling fence. The citizens are acting on the defensive, and will not fight except in the last extremity. Business is practically suspended, and .the farmers spend their time in town, holding secret meetings. When Capt. Dlaekwell makes the attempt, which he 110 doubt will, there may be a reign of blood second to none ever witnessed in Kentucky. Dlaekwell is constantly in communication with Col. John Feland. the attorney for the bond holders. It is thought by some that Feland is using Dlaekwell as a lilutl to make the people compromise. There seems to lie no desire this time among the people to compromise, as they have already offered four compromises and were laughed at. and they now propose to pay nothing.

Judge Denny's speech pleased the Dreckiiiridge men immensely as it did the majority of the republicans, but the Owens men are very sore and arc considerably frightened over the universal approval with which it has been met by the Dreckiiiridge met..
