The simile of the jug handle still dcs-riLc
accurately the administration's so-called re
ciprocity treaties. So far as benefits to the
people are concerned they are all on the side
of the foreigners.
The Blaine -McKinley style of reciprocity
untaxes foreigners only. The new arrange
men.', with Germany, if ratifisd by the rekh
stag, will reJuce the taxes paid by Germans
on a vaiiety of American load products, but it
wi"d not take one penny of tsxvion from any
German products consumed by Americans.
German beet sugsr is atresdy oa the free
list. The prepense that the duty would be
restored by the preside-.' if Geimany did not
make the concctsijns de.red in her tariff
schedules is too transparent to deceive any
except those who want to be deluded. If it
were carried out ii would simply restore tax
on our own people. And if the tax should
keep out German super it would enable the

their price on account of the shortened supply

Onetf .he amusing things that hs come
to the notice of Oregon people lately is
the remarkable assiduity and zeal with
which the Va.hlr.gion correspondent of
the Oregonion has labored to create the
Impression that there was a great split In
the democratic party In congress. . About
a week ago this sprightly sprig began en
larging upon this fatal division. One day
he wculd tell of It and th next day he
would reiterate his statement of the pre
vious day and this he ept up until he saw
he had overtaxed the credulityof the readers
of even the Ongonia. But wonderful, to
relate, he now says that the split will be
healed up so far as congress Is concerned,
but that the split will spread to the rank
and file of the party and ruin It. There
are evidences that the corrcspendent re
ceived Instructions from headquarters to
change his tactics and lay tKe scene of his
story where Its untruthfulness could not be
so eatily proven.

HARiUsbN AND ARfliCa.
The following tables, showing the totals
of receipts and expenditures of the gov
ernment for a year of Harrison and a year
of Arthur, are worth thoughtful study t
THE HARRISON YKAR.
iSoO-Qt
Ordinary expenditures $411,304,470
Extraordinary expenditures, , , 134,947,635
Total expenditures $556,251,105
Total receipts 458,554.-33
Excess of expenditures..... 97,697,871
Tilt ARTHUR TRAR.
18S3-84.
Ordinary expenditures $16508,137
Extraordinary expenditures... 134.17S.756
Total expenditures I399.5S6.893
Total receipts 398,-87,581
Excess of expenditures $ 1,199,311
These figures are vey easy to urjder
stand.and every cltiaen ought to give to tht
common welfare the little time and pains
required for a full understanding of their
significance.
It will be noticed first, that the "extra
ordinary expenditures' are In round num
bers the same (134,000,000) in both years.
These are for the sinking fund and bond
purchases for the redemption of the na
tional debt. The excess of the total ex
penditures over total receipts In Mr Ai
thur's year Is only $1,199,000, while lie
kept the current expenses of government,
$133,000,000 Inside the current receipts tor
the year. The year before a surplus had
remained over all expenditures, ordinary
and extraordinary, and he applied $1,199,
000 of this to the payment of the national
debt. After making the obligatory pur
chases for the sinking fund, he would have
had still a surplus of nearly f 100,000,000
for the year, after paying all expenses tt
his year's administration outside of that
connected with the redemption of the na
tional debt.
, In the Harrison year, with the same
amount applied as debt expenditures as in
the Arthur year and with receipts mucn
larger, the total expenditures exceed the
total receipts by over $97,000,000. The
ordinary expenditures, exclusive of pay
ments on debt account, are within 937.
000,000 of the total recelpU.and this with
out the sinking fund. To meet the obli
gations of the sinking fund and prevent
the deficit from appearing, the administra
tion used $63000,000 of the trut fund tor
the redemption of national bank notes,
which the Reed congress turned Into the
general fund of the treasury for use toilde
the expected deficit.
This was In no sense a part of the sur
plus. Mr Arthur simply drew on his sur
plus to make a larger debt payment than
was obligatory for the year. Mr HarrUon
spent the whole of tne year's Income, ex
hausted all the surplus of available cash,
ani was still short of the amount required
for the sinking fund.so that he was obliged
to use the National Bank-Note Redemp
tion fund to meet the emergency created
by extravagance.
Republicans did not think much of Ai
thur. Tney would no, renominate him.
But what do they think of him now, when
they compare the cold figures of a year of
his administration with a year of Hirrlson ?
Harrison cost the country $400, 000, 000 ,or
38 pr cent more a year than Arthur did.
Do they think he is worth It to the party or
to the country. St Ixuis Ktfullie.
TOTHtroiNT
So It seems that c are not to have een
the much boasted of free sugsr after the first
of the year. It the president reimposes the
duty it ill be doubly taxed first, by the
tariff imp-wed, and also by the bounty lo be
psid to sugar asnufsclarers. Because foreign
governments oblige their people lo pay taxes
on food imports we are to tax our own people
on sugar and other things we have ij import,
and thus get even. It appears that the rec
iprocity treaties thst we hare heard to much
about are after all only proposed treaties not
yet ratified. We suspect thee is a good deal
of humbug about this reciprocity business,
but considering its ostensible source thia wss to
be expected. TtUgram.
This calls to mind again what scores of
people all over the country seemed to have
lost sight of the one sided nature of the reci
procity clause in the McKinley LIU. What
is that clause? It applies only 'o sugar, roo
lases, coffee, tea and hides. It provides that
when in the opinion of the president the
gcrermnrnt of any coun'ry producing and
exporting any or all tf tlie above named
articles imposes duties or other exactions upon
the sgriculluMl or other products of the
United Slates, which ia view ul '.he free in
troduction of such sug-r, molai-cs, coffee, tea
and bides into the United Sate he may
deem to be reciprocally uieiju.il and uarcatoa-
able, he shall have the power, and it ik.ill bt
kit duty, to suspend by proclamation to that
effect It s provisioos ol this act relating to the
ires introduction of such sugsr. molasses,
conet, tea and bides, the production of sucb
country, for such time as he shall d-em just
and ia such case and during such sutpeosion,
duties shall be levied, collected, and paid
upon sugar and molasses, the product of o
exported from such de-ignated country" a
was levied and collected upon such article
nder the tariff law in force prior to the pats.
ege or tb McKioley bill, and upon coffer
three cents, tes ten cents, and hides one aa
cms half cents pe- pound It will he seen
from this that the president in no case can
make any treaty ny which our owa duties
placed upon foreign goods can be reduced or
removed. The only power the president has
is 10 say to any foreign government: "Now
we are letting you ship to our country sugar
cottee, lea, molisscs and hides free of duty
and if you do not peririt us lo enter such and
and such articles in'o your country 'rte or on
better terms than now we will restive the duty
01 sugar, tea. coffee, bides and molasses. '
I Tie main benefit from this (if the president
succeeds) is lo secure cheaper goods to the
consumers of ibe foreign countries with w urn
treaties of so-called reciprocity are made.
The consumers in this country, (and that meant
nearly all the people,) are not benrfitted by
lliit reciprocity at all. It is nil like lbs jug
handle on one side. But will Harrison re
impose duties as indicated by the Ttlegraml
We should say not. Putting sugar on the
free litt has given tie people a taste of the
sweetness of free trade and they w ill rievsr
submit to go back 1? old prices. The sugar
article in the McKinley bill is about tht only
ooe from which the great body ol tbu people
receive any benefit, moA all I he other parts
of the bill operate for the benefit of the few at
the expense of the many. Harrison at this
juncture would not rWc the dangerous exploit
of puttngsugsr on the 'dutiable list as to
Germiny and the other sugar producing
countries ibat have not granted us leciprocity.

Washington, Dec 14, 1891.
Speaker Crisp may have made om
promises before hla election as speaker
lew men'ever occupied the position who
had not done so In their canvass for votes,
but ha has made few, It any, promises slnca
his election, He lets the other fellows do
the talking while lie docs double duty as a
thinkers lie knows that It will be Impossi
ble to so arrange the committee assign
ments that all the democratic members ol
the House will be pleased, and It those
who enjoy his confldeuce may be iclled
upon, he will devote himself principally
to the task ot making an equitable distri
bution ot the chairmanships and places up
on the Important committees between the
various sections ol the country ; believing
that no representative will allow his per
sonal disappointment to make him angry
when he sees that his section is fully rep
resented. It Is now almost certain that
the lists ot committees will not be an
nounced until after the Christmas rtcess,
and it Is expected that Speaker Crisp will,
after all the members have been given a
chance to be heard, retire to his home In
Georgia, or to some other place, where he
can devote his time during the recess to
making up the committees.
All sorts of gossip about the chairman
ships and the make-up of the Important
committees may be heard, but about the
only thing that everybody seems to be
agreed upon Is that the Ways and Means
committee, which deals with tariff matters,
will be dominated by northern ami western
members, whoever its chairman may be.
The general opinion Is that Mr Mills can
have the chairmanship ot thia committee
if he w Uhes It, but some ot his close friends
say that he will not take the place, aeveral
reasons being given why he will not; one
of them being that It there la an extra
session of the Texaa legislature la the
S pring he will be a candidate for the un
expired term in the senate ot ex-senator
Reagan now temporarily being filled by
Senator Chilton and that it he Is elected
he will resign his seat In the House. But
there are those who think that that Is juM
the reason why he should lake the chair
manshlp. Thty argue that for Crisp lo
tender this Important place to Mr Mills
and for him to accept It would show that
no bad blood was left by the hot fight for
the nomination, and that the committee
could from the first take up the hard work
ol the chairman and that In the event of
the election of Mr Mills to the senate this
gentleman might be made chairman.
Resolutions providing for an Investiga
tion ot the Pension Office will shortly be
offered In the House by Representatives

see. The latter gentleman says that his
resolution will be for an Investigation of
the method used and Is Intended to save
some ot the tax payers money that now
goes through teaks which he thinks arc In
the machine. Mr Cooper Is particularly
Interested In going for Gen. Raum, he be
ing ot the opinion that the Investigation
by the last congress waa not as Impartial
as It might have been. Both resolutions
will not be adopted, but the probabllille
favor the adoption ot a resolution that will
be acceptable tu both gentlemen.
Gen. Forney, of Alabama, who was the
sen lot democratic member ot the House
Committee on Appropriations In the last
congress, has, on account of his age and
somewhat fallinir health, drcllned the
chairmanship of that committee, which
was tendered him by Speaker Crisp. It
is believed here that Representative Hoi
man, of Indiana, will. In the Interest of
general retrenchment In appropriations,
be put at the head of that comrr.lttee.
Speaker Crisp plased those members
who wished to gel the cash for their
mileage before Christmas by announcing
at the short sesslwn of the House helJ on
Saturday, previous 10 the adjournment un
til Wednesday, the membership ot com
mittee on sonunti and that on mllcage.aa
follows: Account Rusk (Md). Cooper

Crawford, (N. C) Kendall, (Ky .) Cald

Representative Cuibcrtson, ot Texas,
one of the best fitted men In public life for
the position, has decided to accept the
democratic vacancy on the Interstate
Commerce Commission, which Mr Hsr
risor. tendered to him. some time ago- Hla
nomination will go to the senate at once,
and he will forward his resignation of his
seat In the House to the. goyeryor of
Texas.
It was tumored that some of the repub
lican senators proposed taking steps to
have tnefsenaU declare Senator Hill's scat
vacant, because of his not having appeared
to be sworn In and of his retaining the
office of governor of New York, but the
most diligent Inquiry failed to confirm
the story.
WE AFFIRM.
8oinJUys ao the Dsmocrat, Id epaaking
of the rerjort that the reason for Crisp's
leolioa to tha speakership waa to bo foend
in tbe fact that be and bia lientenatta were
in fayor of changing the attitude of tht dam
oorats with reference to the tariff question,
said that o graver mistake oould be made
and closest up tha article by saying:
"But t) 1 Democrat wculd expect acd
hope for t ia defeat of tha party If it shonM
now dessvt ita tariff views."
For this an esteemed dsmoorat wbo says
bs haa bean a loae rcadtr of thia paper for
twenty years oa.lt ns to task and asks if the
ad.torof tha Dkmocbat ia now going to turn
bis back oul tha work of a life time devoted
to building np tba democratio party. If 0,
vtnly. Tbe Drmocrat does net propose to
turn ita back on tbe great and disinterested
work done by tbe demooratin pirty. It ia
that very thing wbiob wo protest tha party
hall not do. For years democrats with no
sellisb, patriotic devotion have labored in
