"The Dimple fact Is," says Mr. Itced, "that the government Is running behind t",000,000 a month, and the remedy Is simple." There 1b nothing intricate or mysterious In the matter. "Make the revenue equal to the output," he goes on to declare, "and you will restore the public credit and cure the situation.' A man need not toe deeply versed In financial science and political economy to umKTHtniml that there are only two ways of dealing successfully with a treasury deficit. Ono Is to levy taxes sufflclimt to cover It, and the other Is to borrow money for the payment of current bills. The latter expedient ha? already been resorted to twice within a year, and ?100,000,000 thereby added to tho public debt. But this policy has i.ot put a stop to the deficits; it merely provides for the accumulating losses whl.-h they represent, and Increases th interest bearing obligations of the gov eminent In payment of ordinary ex perinea In time of peace. The need of more revenue Is Imperative, and the president must know It. Ills recom mcndatlon that congress authorize a Liold bond Issue as the sole remedy for the existing l!atret;s in the treasury Is disingenuous, because It can only be temporary. There is no room for doubt or argument In this respect, and there Is no possible device of legislation that can prevent dellcltJ under the present tarlt law. It lit all very well to talk about re forming the currency system, which Is undoubtedly defective; but that does not touch the point of chief importance. This question was Introduced prema turely, for the purpose of diverting ntUmtlon from the failure of the new tariff law, and making It appear thai something olse was the cause of the treasury trouiUIo. The defeat of the Carlisle bill put an end to that attempt ed deception, and emphasised the sober und practical truth thut the want of htilileknt revenue la the real source of the difficulty. The oraly course for the Democrats to pursue It noy wish t0 remler sumo sensible and creditable service to the country before they lose control of congress Is to acknowledge that their project of tariff reform was a g rnvo mistake, and to bo rectify It as to bring M'-e receipts up to tlio ex peiidltureM. They have nothing to gain tiy evading the Inane. If they neglect to increase the revenue, they will merely to their discredit and to the future His of their party. It Is a humiliating thins', of course, to lunke a confession nf a stupendous blunder, but that Is lietter than to pretend that there has in-fti jio blunder When (he proof If it is so philn and conclusive. The people cannot be fooled In a case which Is as f !nii'! us nn example In primary nrltli-iu'.-tlo. It In useless to tell them that niiy other reason exists for the shortage of reeuue and the iiecesally of bond sali-s than the failure of the Iiemo etutlo turl!T policy, or to expect them to believe that the lliianolul problem can be solved without a material modi fication of that pulley In conformity Willi Il"pub!lrtin precedents and ten dencies. This I what the president nhoulu have recommended, and nothing !,.... mm thin. TI'H C.OI,V KXPOKT. T,h- t'MAf cxwta of merchandise and fUvir ovi-r imports lust t.-ir mih -!-.

'. to AustraUan ! collapse, and perhaps more rantolt-ly to the enormous losses sustained by Euro pean Investors in Argentine and other securities, but it has also been due, and peiliaps mainly, to the belief prev alent In England that we are rapidly drifting to the silver basis. However unfounded that belief may be. It Is a very serious fact. Those Who entertain it do not wish to be caug'ht with securities on their hands which may tie paid In dollars worth less than half as much as gold dollars, and they have been unloading upon our market at a sacrifice, and taking gold while they can get It. Thus we have to thank our noisy silver agitators for the loss of gold to which we have been subjected, and for the necessity of borrowing gold which baa been imposed upjn the ad ministration. And we have to thank the Republican party, which by its bid for the support of the sllverltes .In 1890 brought on the silver panic of 1893 and alarmed forelsn investors in our securities. Tho true meaning of the president's appeal to a hostile congress on the bond (juestlon In bis realization that Secre tary Carlisle's bad faith In springing his currency scheme directly on the heels of the last bond Issue, before the men to whom they were sold had bad a chance to place them, bas 30 shaken the confidence and aroused the Just re sentment of American investors, that It would be nearly Impossible to sell any more bonds at Ihome. He says th only bonds he Is now authorized to Issue arc "not well calculated to meet our (his?) present needs," beln? payable In "coin," Instead of "specifically In gold," whl;h detracts from thrlr "de sirability" as Investments. The lack of candor In this statement is so apparent when It Is remembered tiow quickly tho former two Issues were Bnapped up, nmd the Immense amounts of cap ital now lying unuHed all over the country, that It needs no comment. The trullv Is the administration has had special agents lit-London for a fortnight past sounding the English in vestors as to the prospects of selling bonds there, an1 these Investors bavo declined to consider any other than a strictly gold form of (bond. Thus It appears not only that an enormous addition is to be made to the pulblle debt, but the millions of dollars of in terest thereon are to be sent abroad; all on account of the 'blunder of perr.o cratlo tariff . reformers, and the ilia, creditable and unlbuslnoss-llko methods of a Democratic secretary of tho treas ury. t u. With Senator DolpJi's clean major ity of six of all the Itepu'bllcans In the legislature, it will not be a Republican hut a Democratic or Populist election If any other man Is elected to succeed him. i i v Roterring to tho disasters sura to result from any form of attempted free sliver legislation, the Chicago Tribune says: We at once would drop to a sil ver basis, the dollar unit of which would be worth less than CO cents of our present money. One startling re sult would (be the loss of more than half the $4,600,000,000 of ibank deposits, some 40 per cent of Which stand to the credit of Individual tollers. Not only would there be a loss of nearly $1,000,000,000 to the workers by this shrinkage In their savings, ibut a terrible additional loss duo to the fact that this $4,600,000,000 of bank deposits consti tutes the working fund by the aid of which the industrial and commercial activities of tfne country are kept up. if the price of labor were doubled to correspond with the decreased purchas ing power of the dollar, the cost of material would be doubled similarly, and the money available for the use of employers would buy only half as much material and pay for only half as much labor as before. Mayor Strong, of New York, desiring reliable information about crooks from first hands, has ordered Superintendent Byrnes to confer with newspaper re porters. Mr. Byrnes will presentely learn more than he would like to know. Str. R. P. Klill Leave for Tillamook as the tueathor The steamer R. P.

DAVID WEST, K013ERT WEST. December IS, 1894. Cottolene-the new shorten ing the only pure and healthful and perfectly digestible frying and shortening mate ria) in the market is now to be had at nil first "sa grocers throughout the Ut itcd fitMtcs and Canada. In wing Cottolene for shortening, it is of the greatest importance to usa only about one-half or two-thirds as much as would be used of lard. This is essential to success in the cooking, as well as an important feature for one's pocket book. Cottolene, like all othergood things, has found several imitators, all of very inferior quality, and sure to cause dis satisfaction. To be sure of getting the genuine Cottolene, the best way to bay it is in the tin pails bearing the name and Trade-Mark. Hadoonlyby THE N. K. FAIR SANK COMPANY, ST.
