The action of con 58 In levying taxes for the support of the national government, and in provid ing money, whether coin or pay money, as the measure of value, affects dircetly every inhabitant of the United States, whether poor or rich, whateve may be his employment, laborer, a farmer, a capitalist or a busi ness man. Every one, whether a pro ducer or a cons amer, is deeply interested in the taxes lie has to pay and in the money he receives or pays In selecting members of vongicss, said Senator Sherman, the people consizn to them all their power over our relitions 10, over our £y s tem of taxation, requiring a of whether g Vel more than $400,000,000 a year, over the | and q ity of our comimer with foreign Powers and the several SLats, over our treatment of our million of union soldiers and their widows and orphan over our army and navy, our postal facilities, our public lands, our inter- state railroads, our igable rivers and lakes, and the vast and varied industries of nearly 00,000 of people.

They would naturally and reasonably regard such a vesult as a demand from the people that they should go on with the assault in the protective policy and carry it out to the full extent of their declared inten- tions.

CORN AND SILVER. By way of showing the fallacy of the claim persistently trged by the adve eates of the free coinage of silver, that the prices of commodities have been un- ably affectéd by the so-called de- monetization of silver, nothing more conclusive can be cited than the course of the price of corn, the first of all our agricultural products in importance. 1f it does not appear that the price of this e has followed the fluctuations in the price of silver it must be conceded that the chief argument of the free sily . the one upon which they mainly for winning the agricultural pro- s to their cause, is unsound. The market value of silver has de- clined almost steadily for a number of 18, due to increasing production, the ption to the rule being the specula- tive spurt upward immediately follow- ing the passage of the silver purchase law of 1800, The average value of the Dullion in a silver dollar was 86 cents in 1884, in 1885 a little more than 82 cents, and in 1886 not quite 77 cents. It vas under 76 cents in 1 and below cents in 1888, There was a slight decline of three-tenths of a cent in 1880 and in 1890 the passage of the act re quiring the purchase by the government of an amount of silver about equal to the annual production of the American mines raised the price to 81 cents, The average of 1891 and in 1892 the price fell almost to 67 cents, Last year the average price was under 62 cents and this year it will be in the neighborhood of 50 cents. Now, the price of corn as not followed the changes, so that so far as this cercal is concerned it is perfeetly plain that its market value has not been influenced by the course of the market value of silver, In New York the average price of corn was 60.8 cents a bushel in 1884, in 1885 only 53.1 cents, and in 1886 but 8.4 cents, yet it rose to 50.6 cents in IS8T and 3 cents in 1888, while silver was falling.

While in the United States Dr. Von der Leyen and his associates kept the object of their visit as secret as possible, but they went about their work in a systematic manner, and, from Wbstract of the report at hand, they seem o bave accomplished it with a thoroughness and a minuteness that cannot but enrry conviction with it The conclusions, as might be expected, are decidedly adverse to the soundness of American railway se in fact they constitute such an arrajgnment of our whole system of railway constrie- tion and railw 5 has sel- S0 financiering dom been had from auy source. By snce to the officlul statistics the report shows that not over one- thivd of all the outstanding stocks of Ameriean railroads pay any dividend whatever, and of those that do pa only a very small part make remunera tive returns on the face value. With bonds of o many gradations of prefer- ence it is little wonder t ny re- semble the stocks In the character of the interest payments. ‘ormerly 1t was an unheard-of thing for default to be made on the intere of first mortgage securities, but from Junuary 1 to June 30, 1803, railroads to the extent of 5,282 miles, and from July 1 to November 1 railronds with 16,751 miles, and in the first ten months of the past year railroads with 22,033 miles have gone into the hands of re- celvers Decause they were unable to meet their interest obligations. This has been unprecedented, but neverthe- less from 1876 to 1886 there were 273 | ronds, with a mileage of 36,606 and a | capital stock of §2,152,189,700, foreclosed on account of insufficient income to meet fixed charges. The reason for this, Dr. Von der Leyen insists, lies in the viclous system under which our rail- roads are built. Under this system a road is constructed without referenc to its necessity or probable business. It is no matter whether it is useful, de- sirable or necessary; whether the eapi tal stock is requisite or whether the nents are secured.

CHARTER REVISION Oct, 15.~To the Editor of The Bee: The Nebraska legislature would ordi- | narily pass such charter amendments as seemed reasonable to the growth of the city, and the welfare of its inhabitants, when agreed upon in the main by said inhabitants. | But when, as has been the case heretofore, OMAHA respectable gentlemen from Omaha appear | at Lincoln and demand such and such re- | visions in the charter, and a portion of the Douglas county delegation agrees that this ts right and just the thing, and then the next day another set of seemingly as re- spectable citizens of Omaha appear, and de- clare that the former delegation knew noth- g about public affairs, or are interested and blased for thair amendments, and the | charter must be L0 and so, or all Omaha | will kick, property be ruined, and the poor | people taxed to death, no one ean wonder if the members of the legislature become con- fused, and think that Omaha really does not | know what she wants herself. If our people continue to be divided on the issue, one declaring the charter must con- tain this and that provision, and the other demanding that the other fellows know noth- ing about charters, it Is no wonder at all that the members of said legislature get con- fused as to who are the real citizens, emi- nent lawyers, honest taxpayers of Omaha; that the judiciary committee of the legisla- ture throws a good deal of the work over- board as unconstitutional—to get rid of ft— and that the whole body of law makers in time get angry, and say: “Omaha be hanged with her charter, she always kicks up a muss every winter, takes up half the session, and is never satisfied then.' Find out somehow, through your com- mittees or otherwise, just what you want and need, draw it up in plain English; send, If you must, a few level-headed men to back up your delegation in both houses, keep the rest at home, and in all probability Omaha's next charter will be an improvement on the present one. MeM. There great deal of congealed truth in this communication. The ques- tion is, how shall this periodical clash be obviated. It is notorious that the best charters that have ever Dbeen framed for Omaha have been mutilated the i of selfish corporation minage contractors for public works. They have invariably incited controversy and fomented division Houg our representatives in the legis- lature. They have even gone so far as to club honest embers who dared to stand up for the guterests of the city as agiinst franchisgd corporations. Only a few days agoftwo of the best mem- bers of the last legislature were de- feated for renomination because they held out against the threats and bland- ishments of~the= lobby. These men were plainly told that they were not wanted in the nex islature because they had offended the managers of the franchised corporations. This is. the true inwardness of our charter revision troubles. # nator Brice i§ opposed trance of the Pacifie railros proposed railway trust thinks such pools are the Iaw as it now stands. Mr. Brice has not been very ac tively engaged in the practical opera- tion of railronds or he would not inter- pose an objection of this kind. The | question of violating the law would not come in for a moment’s consideration with any experienced railway manager. The railroads have been constantly t ing to organize pools both before and since the emactment of the interstate comnierce law without reference to the fact that that law made pooling illegal. The question of the present proposed trust is to them whether it ean be made to work successfully, not whether it is proibited by law. stance i to the Is into because he forbidden Dby en- the The Thiladelphin Press has it that the adwministration is trying to make those southern and western democrats who favor the free and unlimited coin- age of silver at the old ratio of 16 to 1 Delieve that it is with them on that | issue.

A new Italian rifie will send a bullet through five inches of olid oak at a distance of 4,000 feet. It is an interesting fact that only one book devoted exclusively to aluminium has been published in the United States, and that is now out of print. law in Norway prohibits any person spending more than 5 cents for liquor one visit to a public house, and alcoliolic stimulants are supplied only to sober persons. The stock of wines, spirits, etc., laid in for a trip to England and back, on one of the Jarge Atlantic liners is 2,500 bottles of wine and spirits, 12,000 bottles of ale and porter and 6,000 bottls of mineral waters.

MAJORS AND THE CENSUS FRAUD, COUNTY TREASURER'S OFFICHE, CLAY NTER, Neb, Oct. 15.—To the Editor of The Bee: In your Fremont epeech _you quoted from Congressional Record, volume 14, part lv, pages 3,247 to 3,282, Parties here claimed that the language you quote in said Record. Will you kindly get us this record, that we may have the proof. GEORGE A. SHIKE, Treasurer. The parties who challenge the correctness of the quotation from the volume of the Congressional Record eited in the Fremont fmposters. The bound volume of the Congressional Record, containing the quotations made from the report of the jue diclary committee of the house of repree sentatives concerning the conduct of Thomat J. Majors and accomplices in palmi a forged census return upon COngress wi exhibited at Lincoln to an audience of 2,500 people. The supporters of Mr. Majors were not only invited to inspect the volume, but requested to road the report of the judiclary committee to the audience. The same was done at York and Bradshaw last week, and at both these p this public document remained on the platform for inspection after the speaking had ceased, Both at York and Bradshaw a number of Majors republicans availed themselves of the invitation to in spect the record and verify the contents as read and published. While it would be im- practicable for The Bee to procure a bound volume of the Congressional Record of the rty~seventh or any other congress for each town and village In the state, the volume quoted from can doubtless be found in the state Iibrary and several other public and pris vate libraries. Majora himself has never dared to call In question the correctness of the quotations cited from the Congressional but simply has sought to make light of the offense for which the committes asked the attorney g 1 of the United States and the prosecuting attorney of the District of Columbia to institute criminal proceedings.

Kansas City Journal: The recommendation of an increse in the army as recommended by General Schofield will attract wide a tention and comment. Whether the army is strong enough numbers is a question that will bear discu; sion as a practical measure, and we are not in | now prepared to decide it one way or anotler. But there is one feature of the recommenda- tion of the commanding general that needs no study or discusion to any well balanced American mind that understands the prin- ciple upon which human liberty rests. His recommendation that the army may be in- cre: d at the discretion or will of the pres- ident is a departure from the safeguards of liberty that we are surprised to see in a grave public document from any department of the government Chicago Record: Coming from the head of the nation’s military forces, this warning med worthy of consideration, and it behooves the War department to make an effort to see whether or not General Scho- fleld’s counsels should be followed. There is a wholesome prejudice in this country against the establishment and maintenance of any military force other than that neces- sary to command the respect of other nations and preserve peace in time of internal dis- sensions. 1f this prejudice is to be over- come General Schofield must first explain how far either of the dangerous contingen- cies he mentions is probable. And then he must tell how and where the limit is to be fixed in increasiog the national military power to adequate proportions without sad- dling the extravagance of a useless standing army upon the nation. * ¢ ¢ The main question then is whether or not the general has not overestimated the dangers if civil uprisings and riots. This is the point which the War department should most consider. And the matter must be studied, too, in the tull appreciation of the cold logic that if ever the time comes when peace in this country cannot be secured by civil processes and must be maintained by militarism—which has al- ways to be constantly strengthened fn pro- portion as it grows more oppressive—this will cease to be a republic in spirit, what- r it may be in form.
