A year later element. one of the ablest and most popular Republicans in St. Louis, Mr. Wal- bridge, against whom no breath of scandal could be brought, was elect- ed by a plurality of 2,835, McKin- ley’s plurality in the city was 15,617; Ziegenhein in 1897 receives 24,000 plurality, while a majority of the Re- publican ticket was elected by nearer forty thousand plurality. St. Louis bas done herself proud. She is a great city. Sr. Lovis makes an excellent remarkable. Mr. Buran cannot forbear com- ments on the recent municipal elec- tion which are in perfect alignment with his record for demagogy. He says “it is impossible to tell how the future conduct of the Republican party will impress the country, but it is evident that thus far Republican success has been a disappointment.’’ Thus far!

What Mr. | subject of a suggested repudiation of Bryan thus lends his voice to is the] an indebtedness of the city, in oppo- worst species of politival croaking, | sition thereto, comes forward in an unworthy man of presidential] editorial of considerable length ad- caliber. vocating the repudiation of a debt of the city to the Sun, its business rival. Consistency is nota jewel in which the ‘‘Register’’ is wont to revel. It is true the opposition to such pay- ment is based on the alleged illegal- ity of the contract. But so is the proposed rejection of bonds given by the city to the railroad. In the one case asin the other, the order was made in accordance with supposed authority. In both cases the city reaped the benefit. In the latter case the fees collected by the city ellector will much more than re-im- burse the city forthe outlay, The allegation that the contract by the city was illegal is the gratuitous as- sumption of the editor of the ‘‘Regis- ter,’’ who may be a great coustitu- tional lawyer, but has yet to be so recognized. It is presumel the dis- ‘Tne $200,000 appropriated for the flood sufferers by the Government at Washington is but a beginning. More, much more, will be needed to prevent actual famine in a country that under ordinary circumstances would support a population of many times that there at present. Four hundred thousand people are said to be in actual want now in the Yazoo delta alone. The government appro- priation is therefore but fifty cents per head for them, to say nothing of thousands elsewhere. No doubt the States in which the suffering exists will also respond for the relief of their own people, but probably in the end the greater part of the relief and assistance must come from charity, ‘This is an ovcasion worthy Miss Bar- ton and the Red Cross Society.

It be- came necessary to give orders that every man who poked up his head should be shot, in order to break up this unusual friendship between hos- tile forces. The same plan may have to be applied in Kentucky polities."’ On the same subject the **Courier- Journal’ has the following to say: “It is easy to say ‘let's get to- gether.’ But there must be some honest basis for getting together Unless men have entered into a cor- rupt agreement to deceive and be- tray the voters under the ready pretext of ‘harmony,’ they will come into the open and show their hands. ‘Harmony,’ witha big H, for the sake of Office, with a lng O, is just what has wrecked us. It is vile and most abomivable and is prea hed only by scamps having jobs up their sleeves, or donkeys, who possess neither a sense of reasonable intelli- gence or any convictions of their own.”” e A sumper of foreign nations, in- fluenced by their commercial inter- vsts against the|'S ests, are raising pro provisions of the McKivley law. opposition indicates The nature of this that they are wholly ignorant of the true state of affairs and, misled by the continual misreprescntation of the free traders of this country, have gained the impression that the tariffs to be laid are levied for the sole pur- pose of preventing their exports to this country. [tis probable not one in a hundred of those foreigners, who are so loud in their denunciation of the Dingley law understands the real demand for revenues or the neces- sities of this government which com. pel the levy of a large amount of taxes in some form. If they did, of course it would be matter of no con. cern to them. Neither can we af- ford to permit {them to shape our policy. The policy of this country must be to provide in tts own way for the revenues required, just as it pro- vides the laws for the government of the people. Only the interest of this country and of its agricultural, man- ufacturing, mioing and commercial development can properly be taken into consideaation, The loud talk about retaliation, withdrawal of trade, ete., is mere bluff. dulged before on every occasion of the enactment of a protective tariff, but when time came for business un- der it the merchants of those countries have found it most profitable to do business with Uncle Sam, and so the trade goes on just the same. The largest export business we have ever done has heen when we had a high protective tariff. The largest ad- verse balances of trade under low tariff. It has been in- have been The Deficit and the Bonds. From the New Yc Before long there will be found editors and orators by the thousand reiterating the assertion that sales of | bonds during tbe last four years have | not been made necessary by any de- fivieney or revenue. It is therefore important without delay to bring to- gether the facts which are fully shown in the latest compared with earlier official records. If it. were p ssible,| © by any demonstration, however com- plete, to put an end to the traveling faculty of a particular untruth, this particular one might with ease be put quite out of the running. But so long as that untruth is the only defense that can be made for she conduct of a Democratic congress and admini- stration, it is certain to be repeated and by many persons actually lieved. It may be worth while, nevertheless, to cite the precise dov- uments which demonstrate this un- truth, 80 that as often as possible it may be confronted with the record The debt statement issued March 1 by Secretary Carlisle states on the right hand side of its first table the amount of interest-bearing debt: out- standing March 1, 1889, 1893 and 1897, Simple subtraction, that President Harrison’s administra tion reduced the interest-bearing debt $259,071,960, and that President Cleveland’s administration increased the interest-bearing fdebt $262,330, - 690.
