If Gompers would turn the search light of his giant intellect on the money and transportation questions a short time, he could see where the over production comes in. The Democrats asked for a chance—a chance to do just as the Republicans have done. This chance they will never have unless they get a half interest in Hades, and go full partners with the devil. The purchasing clause of the Sherman law is repealed, the McKiinley tariff is in full force, but thousands and thousands of unemployed men in our large cities are to-day begging bread and praying for work.

Of all the people in these United States, none but the national banker can live and grow rich off the interest of what he owes. If you think he cannot, .'ust borrow some of his “bank notes,” and you will soon be undeceived. As the population increases, the per capita circulation, under a gold standard will, inevitably, decrease and prices will continue to fall until in a few years the products of an ordinay farm will not pay the interest on a mortgage for half its present value at the present rates of interest. If you like that, vote to continue it by sticking to either old party. When ycu try to explain the advantages of government issue of money over that of national bank issues, to an old party striker, he is almost certain to

ask you how you are going to get government issues in circulation, atid thinks he has you downed. Just ask him how the greenbacks were put in circulation and you have him “up a stump.” When the present session of ! congress ends Democratic free: trade and Republican protection : will bo so mixed that it will be impossible to ever make tariff the issue iu another national campaign. Wall street would give millions to-day to have one branch of congress under Republican control so that an excuse could be made for keeping alive the tariff question. Thank the Lord, tariff as a national political issue, dies with this congress.

Isn’t it about time those good times which were to follow repeal were getting here? We were told that as soon as the Sherman law was out of the way, money would be forthcoming in plenty and at a low rate of interest. Yet a gentleman right here in Jasper county lias been asked to pay three dollars a month for a loan of fifty dollars, which makes over seventy-five per cent., per annum. Where are the good -times, Mr. Voorbees, and where is the cheap money?

Republicans want a tariff for protection without regard to revenue. The Democrats want a tariff for revenue without any protection so they say in their platform. Populists be- : fi eve ihe tariff fight bo tween i he i : "v o-d parties 4 .» ho mostly

sham, and do not say much about tariff, yet they hold to the idea of a tariff in the interests of all the people. That is, in so far as it is necessary to collect revenue in that way. lay the duty on articles, which came in completion with our own. The cause of the hard times has at last been discovered. President, of the Federation of Labor, made the discovery. It is over production. That is, the manufacturers of the East have produced so much clothing that they are hungry. The farmers of the West have raised so much grain they are suffering for want of clothing. The cotton grower of the South has produced so much cotton that he can neither get anything to eat or wear. Truly, Mr. Gompers, you are not suffering from an over production of gumption.

The old party editors find it impossible to answer the argument of the Populists, so they | only call them names. Nearly two years before the panic came Populists warned the people of its coming and won the name calamity howlers. They ask that the power to bring about panics be taken away from the money changers, and they are called anarchists. They ask that the government issue all the paper money in the interest of the people, and are called fools. Verily, old party editors are overstocked with argument.

When you get an old dyed-in-the-wool Demo-Rep whipped all over; when you have answered every argument so logically he is compelled to admit the truth of all you say, then he will answer you by saying, “Well, suppose you turn out both the old parties and put in a new set of men, they will soon be as corrupt as the existing parties.” He virtually admits your charges against the old parties, but acknowledges that they have so obtained control over his prejudices that he has not got manhood enough left to cut loose from the old hulks and stand up for the right.

Republicans are fond of telling how good times were before the election, and attribute the hard times to the defeat of their party. We do not deny times were fairly good, but we think the reason for it* lies in the fact that for fifteen years we have been adding two or three millions of dollars to the circulation in each mouth.-. Wall Street determined that this should be stopped. Its will has become law and good times will never return no matter what party is in power, until some measure is carried into effect that will increase the circulating medium as the demands f >r it increases.

If you are in favor of the government issuing bonds at three or four per cent, interest, and buyiv i-old with them, to lock up in the treasury and keep out of circulation, and then let a ; corporation deposit those bonds back in the treasury and receive jiusie< d notes to loan to the peop e at e>ght to twelve per cent., why, sir, you are a financier, a statesman and a philanthropist. But, if you are in favor of the government issuing notes on which it pays no interest and ! paying them out direct on penl sions, and for public improvej ments, and letting them circulate as money, why, sir, you are only a calamity howler, an anarchist or a damphool. That is the best argument a plutocrat can offer.

FROM WASHINGTON.

An Batch of Aew* From the Capitol. From our Regular Correspondent. Washington. Dec. 15, ’93. It is perfectly plain from the speeches that have this week been made in the Senate on the Hawaiian policy of the administration, the bill for the repeal of the federal election laws, and the tariff, that the Senators are cocked and primed for a long and bitter partisan debate on each of those questions. The news from Hawaii and the official information from the Department of State has apparently changed no opinions; on the contrary, the opinions previously held seem to have been intensified by the developments of the week. The bitter fight in the Senate committee over the re-committed bill for the repeal of the election law is a certain indication of what may be expected on the floor of the Senate. • • • Senator Vest is the only man Yvho has in a speech succeeded in straddling the Hawaiian question. He started out by scoring the Republicans for trying to change the compact continental Republic established by our fore fathers in a great, expansive territory acquiring government extending to the islands of the ocean, and to the uttermost parts of the earth. He ridiculed the Christian pretences of Minister Stevens and ’the New England revolutionists of Hawaii who, he said, had christianized the na tives out of their country and had taken possession of it under the name of God, and then divided the land among themselves under a law made by themselves. He wound up by dissenting absolutely from the administration policy and said that the provisional government of Hawaii was a de facto government. having all the rights of a de jure government, so far as other nations are concerned; that any assault upon that govern ment by armed forces of the United States would be an act of war that could alone be brought about, by an act of Congress, and that he favored a withdrawal of every vestige of U. S. authority, from the Islands, leaving the opposing factions to settle it among themselves.

• a • Senator Stewart removed all doubt as to his opinion of the proposition to repeal the federal election laws, by making a speech in favor of the bill for that purpose, which is now pending. His position is in accord with the one occupied by him when the lodge election bill commonly referred to as the “force bill,” was before the Senate of the fifty-first Congress. He did not forget to put in a few good words for silver in his speech; he never does, no matter what the subject of the speech may be. ® • • It is now announced that President Cleveland will after the first of January resume the public receptions, the discontinuance of which caused so- much grumbling from visitors to Washington. It is also stated that these receptions which used to be held three times a week at 1 o’clock p. m., were not stopped because of Mr. Cleveland’s not desirng to meet the public, but because he needed the time devoted to the receptions for more important ! matters.

Delegate Rawlins, of Utah, won his spurs as a ready debater of first rate ability during the short discussion which preceded the passing of the bill providing statehood for Utah by the House. . There are reasons for belief that ! the Senate will amend the bill by including Oklahoma,and, if talk at this time counts for anything, the Senate will insist upon that amendment being accepted by the house. e • • i So long as the criticism of the ; closing of the Senate chamber to visitors, shutting the public out of the Senate elevator and closing every door, excepting two of the capitol at4:3o p. m. was confined to entering these things up to the credit of exclusiveness the Senators did not mind much, although Senator Peffer introduced a resolution to have the Senate chamber opened to the public as it has always been when the Senate was not in session; but it hurts some of them when the charge is made, as it has been this week, that it isn’t exclusiveness which has wrought those changes in rules old enough to be j Senators themselves, but fear of J personal injury on the part lof certain Senators. »- I Brier’s resoling n for the ap. pc::;- -Viff of ffVrlvo * Mff; a..-

Capitol policemen has been used as an additional argument in favor of the scare theory. It may soon be in order for Senators to make personal explanations concerning this matter, • • • The democrats of the House Ways and Means committee are stili wrestling with the troublesome tariff bill, which has not yet been imported to the House. The fact that they have in response to outside pressure made a number of changes in the schedules, all increases of dutj’, has redoubled the pressure upon them to make other changes before the bill is reported. It has been settled that a caucus will be held in the bill, but attempts are now being made to defer the caucus until the bill has been reported and the internal revenue bill, upon which little work has been done this week, is completed. It is net now expected that the tariff debate will begin in the House until after the holidays. • • • Prominent silver men are holding a conference here for the purpose of formulating plans for the next congressional campaign.

A MILK CHURCH.

It» Creed and Prospects. Hoard’s Dairyman. Ed. Hoard’s DAiRYMAN:-The dairy interest in this section is still prospering. We have organized whac we call “Milk Church,” which has taken in all the good people from all the other churches, such as believe the Lord helps them that help themselves, and such as can attend to their own business, and keep their noses out of other people’s business. In short, they have heard of that man down the river that made a good living attending to his own business. We held a Milk Church Picnic on the 25th of November, and gave to the sister that brought the greatest weight of cooked chicken and turkey the first choice of 5 dress patterns, that were contributed by the 5 merchants of our town. The one that got the first choice had 69 pounds, the next 37 pounds, and so on. If I had had the selecting of the sisters, I could not have selected ones more worthy. The picnic was backed up with 500 pounds of parboiled and roasted beef, and two muttons and two roasted pigs. We invited the palrons, stockholders, and everybody that was friendly to the creamery, also the students from the Catholic college, and from the Indian school, some 120 or more. They all came. The number fed was not counted, but would run from 600 to 800. We also had 1,500 buns and creamery butter and

fresh butter milk and hot coffee. We had a good time and think we have planted the Milk Church on the sure foundation of public esteem and confidence. We are establishing stations where we take in milk, and separate it, and send the cream to the creamery. We hope to be able to churn 1,000 pounds of butter daily. Our butter commands Elgin prices at the factory, and less than full 60-pound packages 2 cents extra. We have the best dairy district anywhere, when we get it developed, and we are going to develope it as the Milk Church is united and in earnest.

SAVED BY VAN ALFA. On the Next Deal Grwver Tan Bake Better Terms. Detroit Tribuno. The President sank into a chair and mopped the perspiration from his forehead. “Hoke,” he exclaimed, “the generosity of a noble soul was all thatsaved me.” The Secreta y of the Interior moved his lips courteously. “Your Excellency,” he murmured.” “Yes, Hoke,” Mr. Cleveland continued, breathing very hard, “if it hadn’t been for the noble soul to which I have just alluded I should have made mistake. An error, Hoke. Think of it, Hoke. If that had occurred I don’t believe a t would have dared look my constituency in the face. You who have not known me long enough to adore

me, cannot 3 alize what a shock it would cause certain people in this country to learn that after all I am fallible ” The Preside nt looked haggard. “But happily, Hoke, a noble soul has come to the rescue and averted the danger. I refer to Mr. Van Alen and his declination of the Italian mission. Now Mr. Van Alen, Hoke comes from a commercial family. He knew when he bought the mission to the court of Humbert for $50,000, he was getting it dirt cheap. He knows better than I do the monetary value of commodities, and he might have cheated me just as well as not. But what does this noble soul do? He declines to take the mission. It is a most generous thing to do. I do not wish ” Mr. Cleveland raised his hands deprecatingly. ** —to appear in the light of cutting rates on foreign missions. •. .-vo'i ; r■ I.i, for 'Mr. Var. AkTs delica-e generosity,

however, I should now be posing in just that unenviable light. It is difficult for me to express my emotions at this time. Hoke. I am just too grateful for anything, as the mugwumps would put it. You may depend upon it I won’t get caught again in that way.” The President rose to his feet. “Hoke.” “Your Excellency.” “Don’t let me hear any more trifling remarks concerning monacles and short trousers. They may hide true nobility of character.” The Secretary of the Interior bowed.
