It placid stignr ou the free Hat and gave tbe jieuplo cbenper sugar. It put a duty ou tin plates and established the tlu industry in this country, All bind ing twino will be made in this coun try hereafter instead of being im ported by a trust and is already sold at a lower price. The McKiuley bill enlarged tho free list by hundreds of articles and increased duties on such agricultural imports as were largely shipped in to conipeto with tho products of the American farm. Tho reciprocity clause has allowed a wonderful en largement of trades with countries in products where wo have every thing to gain and nothing to lose. The consular reports already show a great lucreao of foreign trado under reciprocity, which is simply free trade under restrictions that re move the fangs of harmful competi tion that would bo fatal to Ameri can industries without any corres ponding beueflt to tho rest of Ameri can population. It must bo perfectly plain to all by tiiis time that tho Democratic party in congress does not seriously Intend to disturb the tariff. With one hun dred anu lllty majority and in ses sion nearly four months, not u lick has been struck that is for tho relief of the country in tho shape of tariff reform. Afraid to proceed along free trade lines, for fear of losing tho presidential contest, the party seems incapable of framing a general tarifl bill, and proposes to con 11 no its oper ations to placing wool on tho free list und a few similar steps comprise its intentions and professions of reform. Thoargumout of tho Democratic tariff reformers that wool has de clined iu value under protective tarifls shows that tho alleged rob bery on high tariff woolens Is a myth. Wool lias gone down in tho London luniltet from $183 a balo in 187L to $CG a bale in 1801, duo to In crease of colonial Hooks by millions and cheaper transportation. By tho Democratic argument that protec tion has not kept up tho price of wool in tills country wo are only in formed that tho tariff has been no tax ou wool, and tho tarifl has simply had tho effect of compelling American woolen mills to work up the American product, In placo of supplying those mills with the' colonial wools. Prices of wool havo declined over one hundred per cent, in twenty years in tho world's niar ketn( caused by a wonderful expan sion in wool production. Under tho above statement of facts we can not see what beueflt free trado in foreign wools would bo to this coun try, unless it would bo desirable to displace In part or wholly our own product of 800,000,000 lbs. annually with cheaper grade colonial wools. KlU'OItM. FINANOK. The Joubnal has been asked to express an opinion about the finan cial platform adopted at the St. Louis Industrial conference, which is as follews: 1. We demand a national cur rency, safe, sound and flexible, is sued by the general government only, n full legal tender for all debtH, public and private, and that, with out tho uhu of banking corporations, u just, equitable and efficient means of distribution direct to tho people at not to exceed 2 per cent. Interest, be devised us feet forth in the sub tieasury of the Farmers' Alliance, or some better system; also by pay ments in discharge its obligations for public improvements. 2. Wo demand the free and un limited coinage of silver. 1. This first plunk is unusually sound, clear and practical. The only element of doubt will center about tho proposition to loan money at 2 per cent., etc. Rut this is not fatal. That exprewtion Is employed in tho effort of many good men to solve tho problem of bridging over i he financial htringeucy caused by the greatly increased demuud for currency at the time that crops are moved. For about three months every fall there Is required three or four times us much currency to handle the products resulting from the other nine months' labor of the fanners. Now, if wo grunt that there Is a sufficient volume of currency for manufacturing, trading, transport ing, banking, paying tuxes, und the other thousand and one require ments of the business ufl'ulrs of sixty millions of people, tiow shall that volume ba Increased during the three months (o enable the fanner to market the bulk of his products? The fact that the bulk of the year's crops are kold Iu September, October and November must be plain. That It takes an unusual amount of cur rency to handle tboMj crops la cer tain. That tho very movement of tbo3 crops causes an Increased de mand for currency aud causes a ir stringency enhancing tho purchas ing power of money at tho very tlmo when the average farmer Is forced to sellputting tho producer's head In chancery by depressing prices just at the time when ho la at the mercy of tho buyer is not this plain to every thinking man ? This is the problem which reform ers seek to solvo. It is, so far as the farmer is concerned, tho greatest problem of the age. It Is tho duty of the government to supply an ad equate natioual currency for all tho business wants of tho county. There can be no doubt that tho present system of llnauco is Inad equate. In tho words of Wlndom aud other financiers, it lacks flexi bility. It lacks tho one element of elasticity in volume which is essen tial to meet tho varying demands of tho greatest business people in the world. Tub Journal has kept staudlug ju its weekly Issue a platform ou tlnauco which it believes is sound. It does not expect that it is perfect, or tho acme of wisdom. But it is ou tho side of a hotter system for tho people. Tho St. Louis conference has reached nearly tho perfection of iluanciul wisdom when it demands "A MATtnUAT, fMTllllRNnV. RAl'R. bOUJSD AND FLKXIBLE." 2. This is tho free Bllvorplank( and wo heartily approvo of tho same. There is no reasou why our government shall make a discrimi nation between gold aud sliver. Tho duty of tho government is to coin, or llx tho coin valuo of money, gold,sllver, copper, nickel or paper. Tho value of silver colnB should bo as Intrinsic as gold, with tho difference that in nearly all countries silver is a secondary coin. But hundreds of millions of dollars of silver coins aro requited for tho dally business of a great nation in its domestio commerce. This silver should not hayo a fictitious value inflated or depreciated. It should havo a Just, llxed, intrinsic value, sustained by the government. With a reserve of coin, gold nud silver, sufficient to redoora its notes if called upon, (keep ou hand 26 to 10 por cent, as it requires tho na tional bankB to do,) thoro is no roa son why tho national government shall uot issue a "safe, sound and flexible" volume of paper currenoy direct to tho people, without tho ox peuso or mediation of government banking coiporatlons. Willi tho coinage of both metals free, and bauklng free, tho government by merely collecting and disbursing Its revenues 'atid Issuing Its notes, and paying ita employes In curronoy in stead of drafts, It could handlo tho currency of tho country iu accord ance with sound banking principles much more satisfactorily than al present. There is no more necessity to pllo up $400,000,000 of silver bullion in tho yaults at Washington, to assort our financial solveucy, than there Is to keep a standing army of 400,000 men there to assert tho fact that our couutry exists. Tho present finan cial system is an expensive, unjust, Inadequate, cumbersome relic of a past ago, created In time of war when tho Rothchtlds preyed upon tho necessities of tho peoplo as thoy ever havo in times of need and dis tress In any nation. Wo aro living in pence with ourselves and the world and our finances should bo placod ou a peaco footing. Wo nro aware that a number of readers consider llnanco too dry to read about, and we must ask Indul gence for tho groat length of this article. But wo wish our readers to know exactly how we stand on this matter. Those who havo always objected to Increaso of tho volume of currency or any greater freedom of coinage will of course opposo all reform movements at present. But tho disinterested citizen should try to think clear and see straight on this matter. btatk ok ohio, cjtv or toi.kdo, 1 .

It la re ported that sensational dispatches hayo beou sent from hero concern ing tho death of Mrs. Honry W. Fitch, tho wlfo of tbo manager of tho aavluga department of tho Washington National bank. Mrs. Fitch was a Christian scientist, and the report gained circulation that sho had died for want of medi cal attention, horsolf aud family declining to call a physician. Local papers investigated this report, and found it to bo entirely without foundation. Mrs. Fitch had been ill for several days, but tho day before her death was as sound as usual, aud wrote sovoral letters. Her death wos ontlrely unexpected, aud gave rise to tho sensational report abovo mentioned. One of tho most reputablo physicians in tho city attended Mrs. Fitch through her Ulucsss. Owing to the fact that her grandmother once uarrowly escaped being burled alive, ou account of suspended animation, It was deolded to defer tho burial of Mrs. Fitch's remains until all doubt of her death should bo ro removed. Her death occurred a week ago yesterday. Her Infant ohlld, whloh died two days after lta mothor, was burled at tho samo tlmo. A DELIBERATE MURDER. Ho Fired iFivo Shots Into the Body of His Victim. Saokamento, March 18. H. J. Palmer, formerly manager of Sena tor Fair's Yolo county ranch, shot and killed Charles W. Phleger In George WIsonianu'B saloon, on Fourth stieot yesterday. Phlegor was seated at a table reading a news paper when ralmor, who had boea drinking heavily for bouiq days en tered tho room. Seolng Phlogor he pulled his pistol, and without warn ing, fired flvo shots luto him. He snapped tho pistol for tbo Blxth shot, but tho chambers had been emptied. Palmer has boon denouncing Phel gor because of matters growing out of tho embezzlomont cose?, brought by Souator Fair against Palmer in connection with tho management of Yolo ranch. Palraor had threatened to kill his wlfo and other parties within tho post fow days. Falawr and Phlcgor wore partners in tbe ranch at tho tlmo whon Palmer bc camo superintendent of Fair's Knight's Landing ranch. In many criminal and finally iu a civil suit lustltuted by Fair against Palmer, whom ho claimed bad appropriated moro than $50,000 of tho ranch revouuo, Phleger was a witness for tho prosecution. Finally Judge Cutlin, of Sacramento, In tbe superior court of Yolo, at Woodland gavo a heavy Judgment against Palmer Iu favor of Fair. A com promise was then agreed upon, Fair taking Palmer's Interest In tho ranch owned by him In conjunction with Phelgor Iu satisfaction of tho Catlln Judgment. Tho criminal prosecu tions thon standing were dismissed iioro aud lu San Frauclsoo, aud it was supposed that tho long contro versy was settled, but it would seeia Palmor never forgave Phleger.
