WASHIBQTON LETTER,
(From Our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, D. C. Sept. 8, '93
“President Cleveland’’ said a
Southern Senator who had just
left the White House, where he
had been invited to attend a
ference,‘is not prejudiced against
those democrats who are opposed
to his financial policy as far as
has been announced; and he is
fully aware of the extent of this
opposition in the West and
.South. He believes that the wis
dom of first repealing the pur¬
chasing clause of the Sherman
silver law, which has been so
greatly denounced by the busi¬
ness men of the whole country,
and which was explicitly prom¬
ised by the Chicago platform,will
be so apparent after the entire
financial policy of his administra¬
tion shall have been made pub¬
lic that all divisions will soon be
forgotten. The first step to be
taken is, in his opinion, to stop
the purchase of silver; but he
bears no ill-will towards those
who differ with him, believing
that they are as honest in their
belief as he is in his. The only
reason that he has not announced
the financial policy of his admin¬
istration is that it is not yet ful¬
ly determined upon, Mind you.
it is no task of a day, a week, or
month to reconstruct the finan¬
cial system of a country of Go,
000,000 people, which has been
growing from bad to worse under
republican legislation, until to¬
day as bad as it could W4dl be,
and financial reform has become
the most urgent necessity of the
time. President Cleveland has
proven himself to be a man
worthy to be trusted, and I can
see no reason why every demo¬
crat should not repose tiie most
implicit trust in him in this
emergency, even if their person¬
al opinions do differ from his as
to the means to be used to reach
the desired end—the restoration
of prosperity to the country at
large, not to a few favored men,
but to everybody. I am, and
have always been, what is known
as a silver man, but I shall un¬
hesitatingly vote for the uncon¬
ditional repeal of the purchas¬
ing clause of the Sherman silver
law.”
The House added amendment
after amendment to the new
rules reported by tiie committee
on rules, until they stand as
adopted almost the same as they
were in the last House. Theo¬
retically no democrat finds any
fault with the liberality with
which the rules treat the right* of
the minority, but there is reason
to fear that when the tariff bill,
the bill for the repeal of the Fed¬
eral election laws, and other
measures against which the re¬
publicans will be disposed to
filibuster, gets before the House
they will be found two lenient
towards the minority. It is an
old and true maxim that “the
.devil must be fought with lire,”
and many think that it would
have been wisdom to have fol
lowed the precedent set. by the
republicans in the Fifty-first
Congress and have made the
rules stringent enough to control
tiie minority whon it was so de¬
sired.
“Much ado about nothing” is
all the talk about the votes in
the Senate this week, With
twenty Senators absent the sil
ver Senators defeated Vorhees
on two propositions—one to go
NO. 59.
into executive session while Sen
ator Stewart was making hi«
long speech, and the other to ad
journ. The votes have ai-soLu
j j final J y no result significance is as far as the
concerned, Tin
1 situation stands precisely as A
did before—the bill will 'be de¬
j bated agreement a reasonable is reached time unless
a n setting a
time to vote, and then an at
tempt will be made to force a
vote. To say how that attempt
will result is merely to express
an individual opinion or make a
guess.
Since President Cleveland
made an address at the opening
of the Pan-American Medical
Congress, now in session, there
has been a decided “let up” on
the silly stories about his being
in bad health, stories which nev
had any better foundation than
the imaginations of their dis¬
seminators.
Senator Morgan, of Alabama,
this week introduced a concur¬
rent resolution for the appoint¬
ment of a joint committee on
finance, to be composed of seven
Senators and seVen members of
the House, for the purpose of
making an examination into fi¬
nancial and monetary condition
of the Government and people of
the United States, The resolu
tion enumerates the following
subjects to be investigated and
reported upon by the committee :
The full or partial demonetiza¬
tion of legal tender silver coins ;
the ratio which should be estab¬
lished between gold and silver;
laws relating to legal tender and
for the prevention of unjust dis¬
crimination in the several kinds
of money; the repeal of the tax
on State bank currency; the
cause of the present embarrassed
condition of the people and the
uarional banks, and what further
legislation is necessary to prevent
national banks abusing their
power under the law. The last
subject is particularly interest¬
ing just now, in view of the
statements that certain New
York National banks made more
than $1,000,000 by selling curren¬
cy at a premium, while declining
to cash depositors checks.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as ti y can¬
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one wav to cure
Deafness, and that is by constitu¬
tional remedies. Deafness is caused
by.au inflamed condition of the mus
gous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely clos¬
ed Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can he taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing
but an inflamed condition of the
nauseous surface.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for cir¬
culars, fres.
