Senator Sherman , in his npcooh to the
moinborfl of the Ohio legislature nftor
IIH ! ro'olootion , said"All moanuros to
lower the purchasing poworof money
operate against the laborer nnd pro
ducer. " There is no sounder proposi
tion than this In political economy. It
is not the capitalist who .suitors from n
dobtiBOd currency , because the moment
ho socs the danger coming ho prop ires
for it by putting his affairs in n condi
tion of onfoty. Ho can hoatd his gold
and can find a secure place for what
ever securities or bonus ho may possois
th'U will bring gold. Ho is not de
pendent on dully oarnlngs or the otile of
products. II is a very old axiom that
capital can always take euro of itself ,
nnd it is Into today and will always bo
true. Neither deus the manufacturer
sutler fiom the lowering of the pur
chasing power of money , because ho can
add enough from lime to time to his
goods to secure him from loss , nnd the
satno is true in a measure of the mer
chant.
JJut the situation of the laborer nnd
the producer is fur different In the
case of the former the uniform rule IH
that hid wages is the last thing to bo In
creased. It is only after the values of
nil commodities , ns expressed in n de-
pi ccintod currency , have lnr'oly nd-
vnncod that tho'ua'go rumor can obtain
inuto pay for his services , und in man.v
cusos ho ! b compollnd to make a light for
this , li the meantime ho must take the
money that is curt out regard tss of its
tolativo value. lie cannot piotect him
self ngalnst n coming dangi > ref currency
depreciation , ns the capitalist can , nor
can he iccoup hmuolf from week to
wcolc or month to month as can the man
ufacturer and mo'chant. He has only
his labor and ho must bollat the market
prioi for tlio money which the law de
clares to bo a legal totidor , rogatdlcss of
what its purchasing power may bo. 'I'lio
situation of T.ho agrtcultuinl producers
is very much the satno. The hit go ma
jority of them nie compelled to soil their
pi oducts as soon as they are ready for
Iho market , and to ttiko in exchange for
them whatever money is current. They
cannot shrink the bushel nor t educe ttio
pound in otdor lonniKo thomsolVIM good
iigiuns.t the declining purchasing power
of the money they rocotvo for thoircom-
niodttios. They have absolutely no way
of piotuoting themselves from the evils
of currency dopieolation.
Obviously , then , the chief sulli-rors
fiom the debasement of the curionc.v.
would bo tholiiboiers and tlm ptoducor-1.
Thib ib not n mere theory , but u well-
established proposition sustained by tint-
vet sal experience. An example is at

C'ongtesbinan Springer appears to ap
preciate to the fullest extent the privi
leges that go with the position of chan-
mali of the wa > s and moaiib commitl c.
The occupant of that post is picsttmed to
bo tlio k-iidor ot tlio majority on the
lloor of the house of lopiosontutivcs , and
although it htiH boon the c iso that this
was merely a nominal dignity Hiich an
example is not likely to bo ropu ilod in
the case Of Mr. Springor. That gentleman - '
man has casiK boon Iho most conspicu
ous member on the domofinlic stdo of
the house since his oloviilion to Iho titu
lar leadership , and it will evidently not bo
his fault if ho shall not continue bii. llo
has thus far bhown the most , toady will
ingness to meet any public demand
upon him fur an exposition of demo
cratic policy. llo has tmulo t.vo or
more nddicssob at dinnois since eongte1" !
ronsbomblcd after Iho holiday recess ,
nnd tlio inquiting now.spnpor corre
spondent never tipponls to him iniiin. .
In short , Mr. Springer bqoms to have
taken the democratic patty in general
and the domociatio majority in the
house in pat Licular into bis keeping. It
is said thoio are some among his
pirty colltiuguoa who nto disposed to
deride his /cal In tliis rosoct. | ) It
is possible that Mr. Mills nnd n fovv
others may have some doubtb ns to the
ability ot Mr. Springer to carry out the
ambitious task ho has manifestly set for
himself. tint thobo gentlemen nto
baldly fnir critic s of the vvayb and means
coinmUtiio chairman , for the reason that
their cat ofully laid plan to got contiol
of the house was defeated by him. U is
lo'inemborjil that there wore some very
unc'oinplimnnlnry insinuations regard
ing liis cotifbo in the f > pcakorbhlp con
test , and It is highly probable that the
dofcati'il faction believe bo ib now onjoj-
ing the reward of an nrrnngoment they
donotiogard ns having boon oxt'ctly
fair and honornblo. Ilnnco their estimate -
mate of Mr. Springer Is to bo taken with
many grains of allowance. At anj rate ,
it is not likely to disturb the borono
equanimity of that gontloman.
It is n fact , hnwevor , that Mr.
Springer has not yet exhibited any su
perior qualities as n loader. IIU.oal U
unmistakable , but it is not guided by n
high eider of discretion , it is bud for a
mun in his position when ho linds it nec
essary to explain ono speech by making
nnothor. There is some reason to ques
tion whether Mr. Springer n fully con
versant'with the deslrob nnd designs of
bis party in congress. Ho has stated
that there would bo no silver legisla
tion , but it Is already determined that
the coinage romnilttoo will report u bill
piovlding for free coinage , and the gen
eral opinion is that it will puss the
bouse. Witli regard to the ttvrilT his
statement that no general toviaion will
bo attempted can doubtlosJ bo rolled
upon , boo 1110 of this mtittor kho has
practically the contiol lint while Mr.
Springer has Iho inulup'itoil leadership

ho may piny.
Miris XKKDKD ,
The blockndo on the transportntlon
lines , wliich so sorlously nITcctod the
grain market , bus u lesson for agricul
tural states which should not bo over
looked. The crops In this grout country

The mUhnp which occurred this your is

trossltitr ns the volume ot crops incrouso.
\Vo need no more trunk line r.iilrotds
oxcnpt in the busy shipping season , nnd
probably tow more , If tiny , will bo con
structed from the grtxln producing region
to the eustorn seaboard. What is to be
done therefore .vith our grain is baconi-
lug u problem of some consequence , not
from want of n market , out from want
of facilities to got the crop to in irkot in
season.
Sooner or inter the people of this in

Europe via the gulf and Duluth instead

( urnxa err TAX-IATKHS.
Judging from the public ultornnces of
the membois of the city council , they
ate in harmony with the views ot the
mayor rogntdiner a retrenchment of
municipal o\ponbos , Tlio president of
the council , speaking presumably for
the maj'otity , announces himself in
favor of reducing salaries where they
nro tooliiirh , und dtspoiibing with olllcos
which are not necessary. It is encour
aging to find this disposition among
I'ouneilmon , and Tin : UKK hopes they
will not doom it convenient or necessary
to chnngu their minds.
Thu last few years have boon n largo
number of tax-eutors foisted upon the
public for politirul purposes. Wo have
u municipal establishment sufficiently
extensive to moot the requirements of n
city of IJOO.OOO people. Wo must cut olT
all unnecessary expenses , regardless of
the feelings of political workois who
domnntl rovvnrds for political sorTico * .
Tim ehui tor jirovidey for dcpnrtnionts
enough. It in not nec-essaty to crouto
now ones by ordinunco. The charier
olluois can perform sueh additional
duties as bolot.g . to their line of sorvico.
Pnrhaps if ovo.-y single position created
In oidinanco wore established , the city
could go without missing any of tbo
otllclalb , ( .hough such aetlon might bo
lee swooping.
Them can bo no question , however , of
the advisability of abolishing the olllcos
of license inspector , sidowalic inspector ,
moat and milk inspectors , sewer
inspector and plumbing inspector.
Part of the duties of the
license inspector can bo performed by
the city prosooutor. The street com-
misblonor and Board of Public Works
ought to bo able to look titter sewer
and sidewalk inspection. Tlio moat
nnd milic inspection properly be
long * to the Board of Health
and c in readily bo provided for at half
the present cost. Men at S7o a month
or on a per diem of ? , ' 5 to 85 will bo easily
secured to do the work hitherto re
quired of tho-io officials who htivo boon
paid till Iho .vuy fiom $1,000 to ft ] ,800 per
annum.

ni'jnt.
tin ; t iTVAKu Nf noot iiiixi )
One of the most important questions
before the city authorities and school
boaul just now is invhat amount nnd
at what rate of interest the bonds
nulhoti/'od at the November election
shall bo issued.
Tlfo mcio fact that the people have
nitthori/.cd the ibsuo of over ono million
of city bonds for various purposes does
not compel or even justify the issue of
the whole amount at this time or during
Iho present your. In fact , the only
bonds that will have to bo disposed ot
lit the near future are the city hall
bonds , paving und feu wo r bonds , and u
poition of the bchool bonds. Inasmuch
us all these bonds are long-time , gilt-
edge securities they should and can bo
disposed of at a lower In tores t rate than
the limit fixed by the bond propositions.
The city of Now York has recently sold
its iJj per cent bonds nt par and nearly
all the btuto and city I per cent loins
command n picmfiiin.
Thoio isno rouHon why uI per cent
tw only-year bond of the city
of Omaha or tbo school district
bhould not sell nt par or nbove pur. To
Issue a r > per cent bond , no matter at
what piomiiim , would In our opinion bo
u gtoat blunder. Thorn was no inton-
tioiron the part of the people , vho voted
the bonds to i also a premium fund fur
either the city hull , the library build-
ding or the parks nnd boulevards. Nor
Is thoio nny reason why there should ho
u premium surplus created „ for the
school boutd. The premiums itAiially
allowed by bond brokers or bond buyots
nro only u puttlal roimburbcmont for the
excess in the nmount of interest to bo
paid during the life of the bind. On
the other band thu tact that Omaha is
j biiod * 1 , < WO,000 in .r per cent bond * in the
, \oar Ib'JL would natmally crotito tlio im-
j prubslon that her croJll Ib not as good

ilia also tor ; , questionable vvliothoi
tbo | Wouieu
' the whole nmount ot bonds voted
for pnrkfl * niill bo llontcd dur
ing the rjscnt * your1. There is
nn danger jvvjiatovor that the parties
who own the lands that nro to bo nc-
quired for [ \yj\ \ \ purposes will decline to
soil or ruisoMhe prices during the next
two or throe4Yonra , Most of these limits
have boon upp/uiscd nbove their market
vtiltto and fully one-half of tbo money wo

also manltes'tl. liitt we cannot possibly
take care of llleexlstlng parks und spend
any considerable amount In improving
the now parks during the present yo ir.
At nil events , no now bonds sh'ould bo
issued bourlnir n higher rule of interest
thnn will bo required in order to soil the
bonds nt pur. If stops have boon taken
either by the oily or Botird of 1'Mucutlon
to market 5 per cent bonds , their action
can icudlly bo reversed so long as there
bus boon no absolute sale nnd uanafor
of the bonds.

fact Unit thus fur Omaha bus boot , indif

nnd they wore successful. To louvo

tible Our people ewe It to the good

will bo simply disgtacoful to permit the
interstate drill to go olbOrt'hoio merely
bcoauso of our indifference. What is
the matter with the Board of Trade and

ICHVA will probably enact n warehouse
law similar to that of this state the
present winter , nnd Council Bluffs will
become u sharp competitor of Oinnhu ab

the bottoms will prove u nucleus for an
elevator business at Spoon lake , nnd
should awaken Omaha capitalists to the
importance of seizing time by the bangs
on this side of the Missouri before the
Iowa law can go into ollect. Wo must
Imvo elevators or wo can have no gruin

Chicago Tribune : Though his career has
been n short one. ho displayed qualities of
character which , had ho lived , might have
a'luvcd ' some nf the national anxiety as to
his capacities for ruling.
New York Uccoulcr. The death of the
duke of Clarence , heir piesumptivo to the
Itrltish crown. Is not an ovout of great polit
ical linpoitancu except In so far as human
sympathy boars upon political conditions mid
fashions public results.
Chicago Mull. All the world loves a lover ,
and thu fact that the young duke has bnen
of Into very prominent In that clmr.ictar
gives n sadness nnd tcndetnoss loan cxhl
bltlon of public grief which , but for that
fact , would bo largely formal
Uostou Advoitlsor Clarouco was never
Intended by nnttiro to succeed to the throne
of his grandmother , and after the Hist shock
of grlof has died away the Hrltlsh people
will be content that the nffnlis of state may
full Into the hands of the younger bt other
Chlc.iiro Post" Ills believed by main that
thooung man who bus Just died would
never hnvo been peimlttod , with hU puny
mind , sickly body and offensive manners , to
mount the'throno. . Happily , perhaps , for
Hrlltsh monarcblsm that question will never
bo tested
Now York Sun : liven royalty , beneath the
Iron maslr which court etiquette compels It
to wear , is but Human , and no ono , however
ardent ntminst motiuichism , need hosllato to
express sympathy for the dead prince's
mother nnd for tno young girl placed in al
most the saddest position which a woman
can occupy.
Denver Sun : Ho had shown himself as
far ns opportunity had been e'von , well
worthy of tno great heritage. Ho had
pi oved equal to all trusts that had como to
him. If ho Im'J not manifested thu qualities
of greatness mid genius , It may well bo snlu
Unit ho had never been placed in u position
that called them out.
Chicago Inter-Ocean : Ho had many of
the qualities requiMto to liiitlsh sovereignty
in those days , and , perhaps , to become moro
lequislto with em h succeeding ye.ir. He
was good nntured and ho was not endowed
with giont mental ability. A King possessed
of geuliih , or oven an original turn of mind ,
would bo&adly out of place on the British
throne nuwadavs.
Now York Tribune : Whether his loss to
Kuglutid is great or small no one can say
with authority. To the queen and to the
nrinro of Wules , and probably not less to the
voiuiL , ' princess whose hand ho had so lately
won as the prl/o , it was pleasantly said , ol
true love , it is deep and saa enough.Vith
these especially the American nation will
feel a genuine sympathy.
lon\er Republican : Although tbo death
of the duke calls out the sympathy of the
nation for the royoi family , It may bo said
that the Hi itlsh pcoplo lose little by his de
mise. The prince of Wales' second son ,
I'tinco George , who now becomes hoirnu
parent to Ilio throne , Is n moro popular man
than thobiothor was , and is endowed with
sturdier physical and Intellectual qualities.

that tltno could not report nnd , knowing 1

had Implicit confidence , to nut nt thu Inrgu

duo services to all parlies conceinod , giving
him loss sulnry than 1 undoi.stood their own

\V lion both elevators came in ho partlv took

under oath ( for which the department did
not pay ono cent ) , and alt the woilc connected
with tnv Hrst assistant's duties were per
formed by woi Icing often late nights and
earlv .
morn. e
When ordciod by the board , upon npplici
tion of other warehouses needing snvice , I
got blanks and books for the same nnd hlioil

but the douurtmont has paid for but ono
mun outside of my assistant and thu ono
assistant has only dtawn his salary as such
since thu mlddlo of November. I tuight heie
remark that wo icceived but llttlo salaiy ,
hardly nuftlcicnt to pnj bonrd.
Now In regard to C. E Taj lor receiving
SI.'JOO fordoing the same duties as "holpot"
the nmount of business was at least S to
1 , which I , from u business standpoint ,
think would justify the extra sulaty ,
besldo what responsibility ho was
held accountable for. Also ho was not
allowed forextratlmo nluhts , after ho became
assistant , but such was allowed nnd part paid
fiom 112 ns Individuals to thn hcluor , as I did
not wish to carry extra time if I could nr
range U othoivvlso until this whole matter
was HOttlod , so I forwarded last month's 10
poit for $4i < ) for "helper" with notlco to
"holper" that he might bo dropped by tin
'JOth lust. , or If nxeded nt the other elevator
his wngos would bo In ncLOtdanoo with his
wet if.
Now , to the end that all mav know the
duties of welching. It is loqulslto that the
assistant or vvolutior shall bo present nt the
olevntor at nil times from 7 a m. until ( i p m ,
and to horvu tbtso pintles ns they havens
I have given them sorviro once or tvvloo on
Sunday ( to which I enter protest ) nnd for
three months nt the Omiihn elevator , with
but few oxLOptions , until 10 o'clock p in.
The Lorlilicato for these cars must he inndo
out and the whole matter must go on lecoul
at my ofllco for lofoiouco and ns stnlo busi
ness. Thoio must be some superintendence
given the business and other mattots con-
nuclen with thu depaitmont. Will n man of
business say that this can bo dnno with one
assistant nhd myself even should i.o oxiKen
cios niisoi Fora parson cannot bo picked up
\ouwould a roustabout nud nut under
oath nt a moment's notice and used as
weigher. 1 consider it my duty to take chnrgo
of and look nftor the intoiosts of both state
and warehouses In my dopaitmont , and to do
It as oionomluilly as can bo dono. " But \\u
must wait when every thing Is new to lenrn ,
and knowledge comes bv oxporionco.
One word in logaul to my asking for u
raise in the salary of my llr.tassistaiitwhlch ,
was done on December 15 Ours was and Is
the only vvcighmnstot's ' or grain inspection
dopaitmcnt ot the state out of debt Ity
cai of lit economy In tlio purchase of furnl

woik wo had placed the business on n pi >
inn uusii. J nu i.uury ui iissisinius in ninci
iloparlmonts had been llxod nt $1,100. mine
was drawing less. I unlv asked that Ins
s.ilnry bo inised to that of the othois. It
may have been Injudicious , but was not with
nny Intent to put ml wocnincd into the hole ,
for It is with some pride that I can show a
surplus , and Iho department hem has no tea
son to Incienso Its uxponscs that I can see
My pay rolls hnvo never homo but Unit )
men , until in November , when It was sup
posed the Lincoln dopnrtrncntnnd Woodman
Kite ) io company would require immodlutn
service. Tliii investigation lecommomled bv
beciotniv Koont/ should bo taken as to what
was necessary in * ny dopaitmont , which has
been conducted In u thorough nud Impiirtlnl
manner.
I did not expect to ECU mv business befoul
the public , but was rather called to a shou
down , and this must bo thn answer Thusu
tu whom I nm nciountablo will ( hid no olthn
