CARLISLE'S ERRORS.
A CHAIN OF FLOUNDERING FINAN
CIAL FORECASTS.
OaUr.
Im 1898 Secretary Carlisle gave his
'Int estimate of the 1895 fiscal year, an
tJcipatJHg auxplas of revenue over ex
penditure of $, 120,959. A year later.
im 1894, he revised this estimate and
frecEoted a deficiency of $20,000,000.
Both prognoaticatioBS were wrong, for
the deficit reached $42, 805, 228. In 1898
he was $49,000,000 out in his financial
fioaa. and in 1894, only six months be
fore the dose of the 1895 fiscal year, be
i $22,805,228 wrong.
In 1894 Secretary Carlisle gave ns his
; prophecy as to the current fiscal
year, ending June 80, 1896. Then he
looked for a "comfortable surplus" of
$88,814,920. But again he was away
cat, and five months ago changed his fig
res to a deficiency of $17,000,000, a
alight difference of nearly $46,000,000
in these two estimates. The indications
are that the actual excessiof expenditures
over revenue for the 1896 fiscal year
ending June SO will be $82,000,000!
This will be a difference of $60,814,920
front his estimate in 1894. and a differ
aee of $15,000,000 from his guess of
five snonths ago.
Wat the fiscal year 1897 this free trade
tnsnrier expects another "comfortable
amrphut," though hardly so "comforta
Me' as his first expectations for 1896,
as he puts it at only $6,908,927. Let us
tabulate briefly the Democratic financial
expectations and realizations from "a
tariff for revenue only." They will be
Imady facts to carry around.

AFFECTS FARMERS.
FREE SILVER AGITATION IS SERIOUS
LY CROWDING THEM.
ha gaayHaat.
"We wiU bring back the good times
which yon had before the crime of '73"
is a favorite argument of the free sil
ver demagogue, especially when ad
dressing an audience of farmers. All
the Ills and woes that mankind has
fall heir to since the memorable day.
when congress is said to have rele
gated silver to its natural position as
subsidiary coin are recounted and
smmtlplied with harrowing details for
the purpose of impressing upon the
minds of theruralvotertaatthepanacea
for all ills is the free coinage of silver
at 16 to L So persistently has this
been dinned into the ears of the farm
er, months and months before this
campaign opened, that It has in many
places come to be considered as an in
controvertible fact, just as the theories
that the earth was fiat or that the sun
moved were for centuries regarded as
beyond question.
Within the last few weeks, however,
there la more than an indication that
farmers are beginning to have their
misgivings on the free silver millen
nium, either present or future. Things
are not ripening as they had been led
to believe would be the case. The
only thugs that mature are mort
gages, ud, while in past years there
has been little or no difficulty in re
newing these at the borrowers' own
terms, this year things are Just a little
different. The consequence is that
farmers are doing a little more than
their usual amount of independent
thinking and are not slow to discover,
that the glittering promises made by
the silver agitators are only silver
plated at best, and that if things con
tinue to rub the wrong way a little
while longer,as they have acquired the
knack of doing recently, even the silver-plating
will wear off and leave but
common pewter. The silver agitator
has invited farmers to look back over
the past in order to cossr the picture
which he holds out for the future.
And farmers, especially the farmers of
central Illinois, have begun to look
back, and this is the picture they see.
Olaaea at the Past.
Away back in 1866, when the "crime
of '73" was still unmatched, the great
corn belt of central Illinois was settled
vy the sturdy yeoman who, following
Horace Greeley's advice after the close
of the war, had "gone west." The Il
linois Central Railroad company, the
greatest of all pioneers in this state,
had for sale sections of land from one
end of the state to the other which
were then being freely sold at S6 to SS
an acre. Men who knew next to noth
ing about farming beyond realizing
that it meant hard work settled upon
this soil which by dint of assiduous
labor they presently converted into
rich farm lands. While these fanners
were toiling and sweating to make the
best of the opportunities offered them,
the dark "crime of '73" was perpe
trated. The panic of 73 which no
body has yet accused of relationship
to the "crime" of that year, like
wise intervened to offset the prosperi
ty, which was settling in all over he
country. Disasters enough to
momentarily shock the very
foundations of national commerce
fell thick and fast. Tet despite all
this havoc and ruin, he unskillful la
borers who had become farming
"business-men," as Bryan calls them,
found themselves in 1876, three years
after the panic and "crime," in a posi
tion to sell their holdings pf Illinois
lands for an average of 825 an acre,
or more than three times as much as
the land had cost in the "good old
days" before the "crime of 73" was
perpetrated.
The effect of this era of prosperity
soon became manifest. Where former
ly miles and miles of prairie farms
had been innocent of the vestige of
anything like a municipality, villages
and towns sprang into existence. Men
who had gone into the farming busi
ness as a venture and who had for
saken the beaten paths of ordinary
commerce "to go west and grow up with
the country" found themselves pos
sessed of a snug little capital upon
which to embark in more congenial
business than that of agriculture. The
"business-men" of the villages were
the men who had sold their farms,
still leaving a goodly portion of their
capital invested In the shape of mort
gages on their lands. True, there was
not quite so much in it for the lender
on farm mortgages as there had been
in the good old days when 8 per cent
to 10 per cent, interest and 5 per cent,
commission was the regular rate
for farm loans. But still there was
enough to warrant the retired fanners
loaning their savings or acting as
brokers for other small capitalists
seeking giltedge security for invest
ment. Ptasaerlty Fellows the 'CiisBa."
For nearly twenty years under the
changed condition of affairs conse
quent on the "crime of '73" farmers
and their creditors managed to strug
gle along somehow without any very
keen agitation for free coinage of sil
ver at 16 to 1 worying them. The en
tire country blossomed and prospered,
farmers grew rich, many of them re
tired to Join the ranks of small capi
talists, while those who stuck to the
plow were so content with what na
ture and then own industry gave them
that no sooner was a pieo of land
spoken of as being for sale than there
were a docen farmers whose lands ad
joined, bidding for the farm that was
on the market As machinery im
proved the task of cultivation became
easier and the crops grew more and
more plentiful. To clear off a farm
mortgage from the proceeds of the
farm during the existence of the mort-
j
gage became the rule rather than the
exception. New obligations were un
dertaken almost exclusively for the
purchase of additional lands, and the
proceeds of the mortgage in actual
cash going to swell the savings of the
quickly increasing ranks -of village
bankers and tradesmen. Thousands of
anccmsful firms, anxious to give their
children the benefits of city education,
moved to Chicago and many of these
men are today counted among the
leading citizens of the western metro
polis. Meantime the price of the farm land
in central Illinois has risen from 825
an acre in 1876 to 875, 880 and in some
cases 8166 an acre in 1894 andl895. And
as every succeeding rise in value of
land meant a corresponding addition
to the number of small capitalists
eager to invest their savings in farm
competition for this class
of investment grew proportionately
keenr, leaving the borrowing farmer
the option of picking and choosing
who should he his creditor, and, in
short, practically dictating Ids
for the loan. Not a word about
the free coinage of silver, except here

An era of .low prices for agricultural
products, not confined to this state
only, nor yet to this country, but uni
versal wherever men obeyed the
scriptural injunction to "till the
earth." offered the first setback to
the uninterrupted quarter of a century
of progress and plenty. Farmers all
the world over, who never heard and
probably never will hear, of the
"crime of 73." suffered no loss than
the farmers of Illinois from the fact
that nature and science had outrun
the demand of the non-productive por
tion of mankind. . Commercial disas

passed, the year 1893 brought in its
wake a blight more lasting and more
hurtful than anyone had dreamed pos
sible on the former occasion It
brought the free silver agitation.
Levelheaded farmers, unswerving in
their loyalty .to sound political princi
ples, dazed by the unnatural and pro
longed depression, fell easy victims to
the sophistries of the free silver agita
tor. That something was wrong the
farmer realized. Speculation and
overproduction had injured his mart,
and for the first time In the history
of American agriculture a lasting set
back threatened the fanning communi
ty. And at this juncture the free sil
ver agitator caught the unsettled farm
er, instilled into his mind the per
nicious doctrine of repudiation, and
for a while at least threatened to con
vert the honest farmer into a dishonest
repudiator of his just aeots.
Fortunately for the good name of the
farming community the free sliver agi
tation has reached its zenith just at
the time when its effects begin to show
with telling force upon its misguided
followers. Already the difficulty of
renewing mortgages has shown farm
ers that the will-o'-the-wisp which
they have been pursuing can but lead
them to a quagmire. Already the haste
to renew loans, which will not mature
for months to come, betokens a
changed state of affairs between farm
er debtors and creditors more forcibly
than tons of campaign literature could
depict Men who for decades have
dictated their 'own terms to lenders
suddenly discover themselves in the
position of suppliants anxious and
humble as the ne'er-do-weels who were
the scorn of the community for their
shiftlessness. The consciousness of a
wrong intended makes moral cowards
of men who have grown gray "look
ing the world in the face." And the
beginning is but yet. if this insane
'free silver agitation is not speedily
expurgated from the agricultural com
munity. Chicago Post
Why Not Be Hoaest?
Chicago Eight Hour Herald (Labor):
The silverite wants a larger volume
of money, but professes to want sound
money every dollar at par. At the
same time he insists on the ratio of
16 to 1, and opposes every proposition
to restrict the coinage ' to United
States silver. Then the question sug
gests itself, if the silverite is honest
in his demand for a larger circulating
medium, why does he insist on a ratio
of 16 to 1 and that the United States
mints be open to the coinage of the
world's silver? If our only desire is
to coin gold and silver on a common
level why do we not agree to put a
dollar's worth of metal into both coins
and restrict the coinage to the product
of American mines until the supply
proves inadequate? Simply because
when we talk free silver we are talk
ing for a depreciated currency and in
flated prices.
Cart, Then Hone.
No better customers for the farm
ers' products can be found than the
workingmen of our own country, but
'they cannot be customers unless they
have employment and wages. Our
Democratic friends, as usual, get the.
cart before the horse. They would
have the price of the farmers' prod
ucts increased without giving the
farmer customers. There are more
'consumers than there are producers of
farm products, for while the farmers
themselves are producers, they are also
.large consumers of their own prod
ucts while men of the shops, mills and
factories are only consumers of the
xarmers products. When labor Is fully
employed at good wages there is no
trouble about good prices and large
production cf the fruits of the hus
bandmen's toil. Mansfield (O.) News.

Owing to the general depression in
business the work the Pennsylvania
Railroad company commenced late last
year is not being pushed as vigorously
as it was the intention to da While the
work has not stopped, the bears to the
contrary notwithstanding, the amount
to be spent each month is limited. No
new operations are being sanctioned,
but as soon as there is an improvement
several large undertakings will be com
menced. Wall Street Daily News.
It scarcely seems possible that this
can be true of the Pennsylvania Rail
road company.' Hardly a month has
passed since its president, Mr. Roberts,
discussed the political situation and
said, "The tariff can wait," while he
knows perfectly well that the business
prosperity of the country depends upon
a settlement of the tariff question in
favor of protection. The work on Mr.
Roberts' road will be ''pushed as vigor
ously as it was the intention to do
when a protective tariff policy is re
stored or its restoration is assured. Then
Mr. Roberts can employ all hands at
full wages without "reducing expenses."

A SOLDIER OF FREE 8H.VEIL
BT T. C. HAMAUGH.
A soldier of free silver lay dying on the
plains.
The crimson tide was ebbing from his
Populistic veins. . '
A comrade knelt beside hint to wipe the
gore 'away
And also, incidentally, to hear what he
might say.
The silver warrior blubbered as he said
In accents low:
"Like my fifty-three cent dollar, from
this land I soon shall go.
, But I would send some.mesages todls

For I was bom at Salem near the In

"Tell Jones who got me in this scrape
to add unto his pelf.
To crawl behind some chicken coop and
gently kick himself.
And whisper unto Tillman with the
South Carolina eye.
To fall upon his pitchfork quick and
like a Roman die:
Upon free silver's battlements, which
now the foemen hold.
Go hang my borrowed crown of thorns,
i my stolen cross of gold: . '
I tried to cheat the people with a dol

But no one would believe me on the In

"There's another, not a sweetheart: he
will weep when I am dead.
You'll know him by the crimson rag
that floats above his head:
'Neath anarchy's red ensign which was

Go tell him not to mourn for me, nor
sigh with drooping head
When McKinley goes to Washington
with gay and glorious tread:
But when the cold frosts dallies with
the modest pumpkin vine
To think of one from Salem near the
Injeanny line."
His voice grew faint and fainter till he
failed to raise his nead.
And the soldier of free silver on the
battlefield lay dead:
The comrade gently closed his eyes and
breathed a prayer so low.
And on them lay two dollars that were
coined in Mexico;
A golden moon rose slowly and winked
as she looked down
Upon that ghostly battle plain with
silver's wreckage strewn:
But proudly on Sound Money's spears
her ambient light did shine.
And no one thought of Salem near the

RAILWAY EMPLOYES.
THEY
ARE ORGANIZING
FREE SILVER.
TO FIGHT
All Over tha Coaatry the Mas Who Da
pead a the Railroads Car m Uvlag Ave
Declariag for Soaad Jtaaey sVagtcal Ar
guaaat for tha Wage Earaer.
The clerks and other employes of the
railroads here are organizing a sound
money club to fight free silver. Mis
sionary work will be set on foot and
the work will be energetically carried
on.
These clubs are being organized all
over the country. The total numoer
of railroad employes in the United
States is in the neigborhood of 800,000.
It is thought by those who are inter
ested in the organization o. sound
money clubs among these employes
iat before the campaign is over there
will be 1,000 such clubs.
While the arguments used among
railroad men are especially applicable
to them, the logic of the arguments is
applicaL.e to all wage earners. There
is no class of wage earners who would
suffer more under free coinage than
railroad employes. This would apply
to the general manager as well as to
the more humble flagman at a cross
ing. The railroads are probably the
largest debtors, outside of the banks,
in the country. They owe many mil
lions of dollars for which they have
given their mortgage bonds. When
they borrowed this money they got it
in gold or its equivalent. Seventy
five per cent, of these bonds are in
terms payable, principal and interest,
in gold And with the premium on
gold that would be one of the first re
sults of free coinage, the gold debt of
the railroads would be increased to
just that extent.
On the contrary the railroads would
not only have to accept from passen
gers and shippers a 53-cent dollar,
but would not be able to change the
rates, as these are generally fixed by
law. The upshot of it all would be
that the fixed charges of the road !
would be doubled while tuelr earnings
would at best remain where they are.
Under these circumstances they
could hardly be expected to increase
wages, and these wages would be paid
In 53-cent dollars. Erven if the roads
could stand this strain and would not
be compelled, many of them; to reduce
the number of employes, those em
ployes would still be working for the
old wages while the prices of every
necessity of life would be rapidly
doubling.
While this presentation of tte case
applies with special force to "railroad
employes, the logic of the argument
applies to every wage earner. If the
wages of some of them should go up,
they will find that the prices of cloth
ing, furniture and food would go up
ten times as fast, and ten times as
high. Columbus (O.)Dispatch.

ployes of the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road at various points along the com
pany's lues in Maryland and West
Virginia. The movement was only
started about two weeks ago and it is
estimated a total membership of 5,890

HOW "MELTONS" ARE MADE.
British "Weeleae" 8h!sB4 Here Wltheat
at Oaace of Wool.
Bradford, July 6, 1896.
"Well, Ben, and how is trade?" This
I said by way of introduction to a man
ager in one of our shoddy factories just
outside town, and I got the confessional
answer: "We're very busy indeed. In
fact, we are thinking soberly of enlarg
ing our place, not being able to get
goods out fast enough. I want to tell
you how we make our meltons. Here is
a blend of materials typical of all the
lot; it's just come off the machines
1,750 pounds of mungo, costing
pence per pound ; 84 pounds white Texas
cotton at 7 pence per pound. This yarn,
when mixed together, is scribbled and
spun to nine skeins weft yarn. We find
that scribbling, spinning and weaving
cost us 1 shilling (25 cents) per yard
per whartron (6 pounds equal a whar-
tron); so, then, a pound of yarn, when
made of this shoddy, costs at the rate of
6 pence, or 18 centa, per pound in the
cloth, which is indeed a marvel of
obeapness. Ype making these unions a
Lancashire cotton yarn -is used for
the warp, which costs about 6a. 6d.,
and this nine skeins shoddy weft
is used for filling. For weaving these
pieces, from 90 to 100 yards long, we
pay the weaver 8 shillings (or 81.92).
Our weavers earn from 10 shillings to
18 shillings per week on an average.
We find that when all other charges are
added, such as mill expenses, dyeing
and finishing (which I will give later),
we are able to produce a melton cloth
weighing 11 to-12 ounces to the yard,
50 inches wide, at the nominal figure of
9J pence (19 cents) per yard."
"Why, that is very cheap," I said.
"And how much profit do you reckon
you have when you have sold a whole
piece?"
"We generally find that we get la.
9d. clear for every piece turned out, and
that we consider a fair, respectable
profit.'
This is just one sample of how this
shoddy is done and made up, and your
buyers, I have good grounds for know
ing, are paying 11 pence (22 cents) per
yard for this class of goods in Bradford.
Of course there are better qualities, but
when yon get up to a 84 cent dress mel
ton, 60 inches wide, it is considered
here that yon are buying n good article,
while Charles Soarth of Morley and
Leeds is making snob stuff at 5 pence
(11 cents), 49 and 50 inches wide. Is
this the stuff to keep out your blizzards
and cyclones? Yaxkkr.

Southern states and American farm
ers will have their interests well cared
for as long as Hon. Jeter C Pritchard
of North Carolina is a United States
senator. When the house bill to amend
section 3805 of the revised statutes,
concerning the distilling of brandy from
fruits, was before the senate, he offered
an amendment providing for special
rates of duties upon clays or earths,
lime, marble and stone and their manu
factures, iron ore, lumber and its man
ufactures, leaf tobacco, live stock, bread
stuffs, hay, rice, honey, eggs, onions,
beans, potatoes, dairy products, vegeta
bles, fish, fruits, meats, lard, poultry.
pork products, tallow, hemp, wool, coal,
coke, and last, but not least, a duty of
5 cents per pound upon all raw cotton
imported into the United States. Sena
tor Pritchard is a firm believer in the
policy of protection for the United
States.
With an upright candidate, a sturdy
platform and the utmost confidence in
the justice of their cause, the Republican
party will place William McKinley in
the presidential chair, to the gratifica
tion of the great majority of the people
of the United-States and to the advan
tage ef the country as a whole. Bos

With imports of 81,828.805 pounds of
foreign woolen cloths during nine
months of the current fiscal year, as
against imports of 14.411,388 pounds
during the corresponding months cf the
previous year, it is small wonder that
our woolen mills are shut down or run
ning only on part time.
