Moro than sixty years ago the cotton
planters of the south were arrayed In
opposition to the tariff legislation of
that period nnd Cnlhoun proclaimed the
tloctrlno of nullinoatlon , which was
swept away by the strong hand of
Andrew Jackson and the Invincible logic
of Daniel WobUor. History records
that from that date began a'eorlous
division : between the north und the
south. Something of the same spirit is
now being manifested by the free sllvor
men , who threaten resistance , oven to
the point of shedding blood , to any legis
lation adverse to the policy they advo
cate and sock to array the west against
the cast. The arrogance of the southern
cotton planters of 1830 is being emulated
today by the western silver mlno owners.
The spirit and the utterances of the
mass mooting at Denver will show to the
country tlio true character of the people
who nro championing a policy whoso
only possible result would bo the do-
slruotion of national credit and general
financial and commercial disaster. The
threats uttered at that meeting voice
tlio desperation of inordinate greed
and Bullishness in the presence of an
overwhelming popular demand for n
change of financial policy that will
deprive the millionaire sllvor mlno.
owners of further opportunity to incruaso
their wealth at the expense of the whole
people and nt the risk of national dis
aster. The men who IMIVO piled up
their millions through the patronage of
the government during the past fifteen
years , nnd who have constituted the
most ngprossivo and arrogant and graspIng -
Ing money power this or any other
country eVer had , now when the great
majority of the people of the country ,
fully awakened to the mistake that has
boon made , propose a change of financial
policy , boldly and defiantly proclaim
their readiness for ' 'war" ' in order to
defeat the popular domand. 'There is
no sorlous danger in these threats. The
millionaire silver mine owners will not
adopt the suggestion of one of the
speakers at the Denver meeting of "an
other revolution , another appeal to
arms. " But It is well to note and to
carefully remember the menace and
bluster of these people as Illustrative of
the character of the class whoso purpose
it is to pluco . the country on a single sil
vor basis. .
It is , of course , altogether useless to
argue with those peopled Greed and
selfishness nro not accessible to reason.
The free silver chumpiuns will go on
falsifying history and distorting fuels ,
as they have been doing for moro than
twenty years , but their influence Is
rupidly declining. The utterances of
the Denver meeting should help
greatly -to reduce it. If the caubo
of free silver had not been hopeless
before It would assuredly have boon
made sp by this gathering. The people
of the Unilod Slates will resent and re-
buko the dictatorial spirit of the
millionaire mine owners. Perhaps
nothing could have happened * jat
would have done so much to hasten the
desired chungo of policy regarding
silver as will this demonstration at
Denver of the real character and pur-
pose of the free silver advocates.
ir/ir OUT OF TJIK DlhEMMA.t
The failure of the city of Omaha lo
sell Iho paving and bower bands author-
ixod to defray the expenses of this sea-
son's public improvements is embarrass
ing alike to the publlu and to the contractors -
tractors for public work. The contrac
tors look upon themselves Ihe obligations
ol their agreements in honesty and good
faith. Contraolsof Ihis kind are binding
upon both parties and if the work wore
not carried out accJrdlng to the spacifi-
calions Iho cityjwould oxpocl lo hold Iho
conlractor down to the terms of his con
tract. The latter , on the ether hand ,
undertook the work with the understand
ing Ihat ho was lo receive his pay in
cash and as Iho construction of the im
provement progressed. To atlempl to
road into the contract , as some of our
city solons have attempted to do , any
proviso to the effect that the contract
was only to bo binding and the work to
proceed in the event of soiling the city's
bonds for the same , is absurd , inasmuch
as the contraoling parlios had no such
condition in mind at the time of making
and accepting the oilers.
The present financial condition of the
city treasury was allogolhor unforsoon
a few months ago. It is useless to bewail -
wail the fact that the bonds were not
promptly disposed of In Iho spring , and
lo transfer money from ono fund to
another is out of the question. The
charter is very plain on this point and
forbids in so many words both the diver
sion of ono fund'for the expenses charge
able upon anolhor and Iho application
of the proceeds of any bonds to purposes
olhor Ihnn those for which Ihoy were
voted. Either the
work of sewer uon-
slrucllon must oc.iso entirely or some
arrangement must ba made with Iho
contractors by which they can receive
part puymoul In bonds. There is also
unolhor sot of parties who might bo ox-
pocled to come to the assistance of the
city treasury. The local banks are" hold-
liigondoposlllargo amounlsof Iho public
funds. These funds are balng loaned lo
citizens on short time natoj. If the
banks would accommodate the olty by
reluming to It son.o of Its own money ,
with the bands as security , they would
still be making a neat little turn by
poekollng Iho dllYnroiico between Iho 11
per cent which they pay the city and the
5 per cent which the city Is willing to
pay thorn. A slight aeoDmtindutlon In
this direction if coupled with an auiicu-
blo arrangement with the contractors
might enable the oily to at least have
these sewers completed which are now
well under way.
ALTOGETHER Governor Tillmnn is hav
ing n pretty hot time with his scheme

Borious feature of the matter , ho thinks
"It is the malodorous reputation of i
that will cling to us for years to como
that hurts most. " There is no doubt the
feeling agaiust thu law ia beoomlu
\
stronger every day , Nor Is Iho opposl-
.lon confined to the stnto ntono. In

innyis preparing to ship boor Into South

OF VANK CinCUltATION.
The demand for money of late has had
the effect to Induce Iho national banks
lo add materially to their circulation.
A recently published statement shows
thai Iho Increase In nallonal bank circu-
latlon during Juno amounted to nearly
$2,000,000 , , and the increase for July will
[ > robably bo quite as largo. The circu-
ation sooured by bonds reached the lowest -
est point November 1 , 1890 , when It was
In round numbers $121,000,000. It has
since steadily Increased month by
month , having reached 3157,000,000
on July 1 of this year. It is
ostlmaled Hint the circulation of
national banks secured by bonds will
probably exceed $100,000,000 , by August
1 , nnd make the total circulation of
bank notes more than $180,000,000. A
Washington dispatch says that this in
crease of circulation , In spllo of the high
price of the bonds and the small profit
In circulation , is , regarded'by friends of
the national banking system as signifi
cant of a very considerable increase If
the volume of circulating notes were In
creased by law to 95 per cent of the par
value of the bonds doposllcd as security
instead of being loft at 00 per cent , under
Iho existing law.
It will bo proposed at the coming ses
sion of congress to allow Iho banks lo
issue notes to the par value of Iho bonds
doposllod as security , nnd it is also proba
ble thai it will bo proposed as a further
encouragement to the banks to issue
moro notes to take the tax oil of circu
lation. As to the first of these proposi
tions it is not apparent what valid
objection can bo made to it. When Iho
rmtioiml bank syslom was organized
Ihoro were good reasons for limiting
Iho amount of nolos Ihat a national
br.nk might issue to 90 per cent
of the face value of the bonds
deposited as securities , but Iho
same reasons will not apply now
when the bonds are at a premium and
there has been a change as to other con
ditions. If this proposition were to prevail -
vail it would result in adding within a
short : lime bolwoon $30,000,000 and S40-
000,000 to the circulation , n fact which
ought to insure it the support of every
body ( who thinks wo have not enough
currency to transact the business of the
country. But such a proposilion has
boon urged upon Iho attention of con
gress ] a number Of times and has never
received a very vigorous support. As
the democratic party is not friendly to
the banks , and the coming congress
jg in conlrol of Ihat party , it
is not to bo expected that any
sorl of proposal Ihat would help the
banks will receive serious considera
tion , although its effect would bo dis-
linclly ! in the interest of the public also.
Still a change in the direction noted is
urged by some democratic organs. The
free silver advocates would undoubtedly
oppose showing the banks any such consideration -
sidoration , thosa institutions very gen
erally being hostile to the free coinage
of silver. As to the proposition to relieve
lievo the national banks of the circula
tion tax there is not the least probabil
ity that it could obtain any considerable
support in the coming congress.
Meanwhile the growth in the bank
circulation is an interesting and reas
suring fact in the financial situation.
IT IS a rather arbitrary proceeding
'or the pension bureau to compel every
xsrson who is suspected of having hod
ils name placed upon the total disabil-
ty pension list without such proof of
, ho disability us will satisfy the present
nireau ofllclals to show cause why ho
should not bo dropped from the rolls.
When a man applies for a pension it is
10 more than right to require him to
furnish evidence that he is entitled to
payment which ho is asking. But when
.v petition has onoo boon favorably acted
upon and the "name has boon placed on
the list of pensioners the primu'fuaio
Inference is that it is there of right. In
order to have it removed from the rolls
the party challenging it on the ground
of fraud or negligence ought first to
make out his case. To put upon tlio
pensioner the burden of proving that ho
is legally drawing the sum allowed Is
simply heaping double costs upon him.
The present ruling assumes that in all
these cases the former pension ofllcors
openly violated the law. It practically
reverses the commonly accepted rules
of legal procedure.
TUB suggestion from the Agricultural
department that at the presort prices
for hay abroad shipments would
doubtless provo a profitable venture
comes a little lato. For several weeks
exports of baled hay have boon on an
unproccdentul scale. tnfa
When it brings
845 to $50 a ton in London , and oven
moro in Prance and Gornmny , it is easy
to understand how .profitable the ven '
tures have proven. In view of the utter
failure of the
European fodder
crops
this would appear the opportune tl mo
for the Agricultural department's agents
to enlighten the people of foreign coun
tries as to the great value of Indian
corn for foraee.
They might moro
readily bo induced to food it to their
cuttle than to cat it themselves.
THK Railway Employes association
seems to have boon organized solely for
political work. At uny rate it views
the wholesale dlsuhargo of railway em
ployes with philosophic complacency.
Its solo contention during the campaign
in this state lu.it
full was that the HI-
forcement of a reduced freight tariff
would throw hundreds If not thousands
of railway employes out of work , be
cause decrc-tibod earnings in consequence
of the law would cripple the roads.
The only solicitude beeniod to as.bo
for the welfare of employes. THE
'
BEE'oombutcd this theory of the cuuo
und argued that if reductions in the
working forces were made the cause
would bo found in lrvpk business , consoli
dations of roads , short crops and the
purchase of rolling stock of eastern man
ufactories. In otlioY words , the opera
tions of the now HiHximum freight law
would have Httlo oTfbct In the promises.
In the light of rocoul events and in view
of the fact that the now tariff law has
not yet gene into effect wo sco n confirm

THIS innocent-sounding phrase "im

Boston Advertiser : The past week has
witnessed n decided Improvement in the
general financial and business situation. This
Improvement has manifested
itself not so
much in uny increase in the volume of trade
transactions ns in n change of sentiment
among the business men. The prevalence o
a better tone to the money market , duo to the
successful completion of July settlements , is
larifoly responsible for tills fooling. Still the
difllculty of obtaining money is restricting
the volume of trade to a consldorablocxtent ,
nnd makes collections slow. With the grad
ual restoration confidence , the signs of
which were apparent last week , normalmon-
otary conditions are likely to rule ore long.
