WHAT THE VICTORY MEANS
UTTERANCES OF THE PRESIDENT
AND VICE-PRESIDENT-ELECT.
‘Let Thera ba Revenue Reform, Let
Thera be Reduction of Taxation*
The following utterance of Gro
ver Cleveland in his speech at
Newark, N. J., may well bo recalled
now to show where he stands on
tbo subject of revenue reform:
i “Of course these industries no
cessitate the existence of a large
laboring population. This force,
in my opinion, is a further element
of strenetb and greatness in the
State. Ko part of the community
should he more interested in a wise
and just administration of their
government, none should be better
informed n* to their needs and
rights, none should be better in.
iormed as to their government,
none should guard more vigilantly
against the smooth pretense of
fatso friends. In common with alt
other citizehs they should desire
an honest, economical manage
ment of publio affairs. It is quite
plain, too, that people have a right
to demand that no more money be
taken from them, directly or indi
rcctly, for public U9es' than is
necessary for this purpose. Indeed,
the right of the government to ex
act tribute from the citizen is
limited to Us actual necessities,
and every cent taken from the
people beyond that required for
protection by the government is no
better than robbery. Wo must
condemn, then, a system which
takes from the poekets of tho peo
ple millions of dollars not needed
to support the government and
which tempts the inauguration of
corrupt schemes and extravagant
expenditures. The Democratic par-
ty lias declared that all taxation
should bo limited by the require
ments of economical government.
This is plain and direct. It dis
tinctiy recognizes the value ot
labor and the rights of governmen
lal care when it further declares
that the necessary reduction of
taxation and the limitation thereof
to the country’s needs should bo
effected witboat depriving Amert
can labor of its ability to compete
successfully with foreign labor and
without injuring the interests of
our laboring population.”
And now let tboso who say that
there must be ue further tariff agi
tation read the following extract
from Vice President Hendricks’
speech at Indianapolis since the
election: , ,, • .,
“We have learned in this con
test that truth is stronger than lies,
and the party that hereafter reaches
power will reach it by truth, and
not by lies. Tbo Democmtio par
ty, 1 believe, will come into power.
It sincerely desires reform. The
watchword i of the party in this
contest, as in the contest eight
years ago, has been reform—exec
utive, administrative and revenue
reform—an honest construction of
the laws and an honest adminis
tration of them. The revenue now
collected; exceeds the wants of an
economical administration by $85,-
000,000. Be-ause of this Demo
crats say let tliero bo revenue ro-
form, let that reform consist in
part in the reduction of taxation
Is it not patent to every man that
there ought to bo reform here?
The Democratic'party this year
comes before tbe country with a
clear straightforward statement of
e reform they intended to accom
plish. In tbo national platform
they declared What reform they
would have. It was, first, that
taxation shall not exceed the want*
of tbe government economically
administered; second, that taxa
tion shall be for public purposes
alone, and not for private gain or
advantage; third, that in tbe ad
justment care shall be taken to
neither hurt labor nor harm capi-
til; and, fourth, that taxation shall
| be heaviest on articles of luxury
and lightest on articles of neces
sity. ■
“At the great convention in
Chicago this banner was put into
the bands of Cieveland and Hen
dricks. We took it to carry it be
fore the people, to rise or fall With
the glorious banner. That banner
I have carried over Indiana.
Wherever I hare gone I have
preached that as the true doctrine
of ilie spirit of taxation, and the
result has been four, five and six
thousand Democratic, majority in
Indiana. This is our doctrine on
tbosubject of itaxatiod. and ft is
right tbstthsT people should under
stand this qusstion,”
DYING BY THOUSANDS.
Frlffbfal Mortality Antony tbo Mob
at Work ob tbo Pabama Cabal.
The steamship Colon, (from As-
pinwall, landed 28 cabin passen
gers at tbe Bargo Office yesterday
morning, says the New York Times
of Nov. IS. George Mowbray, of
Brooklyn, was among the number.
Four month ago be left his home
a healthy young machinist, under
contract to work for Slavin & Co.
the California dredging contractors
on the Panama canal. He returns
the very shadow of his former self,
emaciated and broken down by
the deadly Chagres fever.
“There are 40,000 men employ
ed on tbo oanal,” be said, “distri
buted all the way from Colon or
Aspinwall to P.nama. The dis
tance by rail is not over 30 miles
between those two points. I was
a machinist and engineer, and
could make, by working overtime,
$250 per month, but I could not
stand the climate. Tbe wages for
skilled workmen is $5 50 per day,
and for laborers $3 to $4 per day.
The latter are recruited among the
natives and runaway sailors, who
will leave $18 a month, and take
chances of siokness and death for
the $3 or $4 per day. You ask
about, the mortality f Well, that
is frightful. Hundreds die month
ly, and the hospitals are constant
ly filled with the eiok. It is said
that nine out of ten of tbe patients
who are sent to these hospitals die
there. If the dead man has money
or influence, he is put into a pine
box and buried; otherwise his body
if dumped into a pit and quicklime
thrown over him. There is an old
saying that every tie of the Panama
Railroad represents a tombstone
for some poor unfotunate. Now
it is true that every foot of exoa-
vated ground symbolizee a grave.
The canal is twelve feet deep and
from eighty to ninety feet wide.
The rains, which are abundant,
not only Interfere with the work,
but ofton cause tho banks to cave
and fill up the canal. Board that
ono can get in New York for $2 50
per week costs there from $10 60
to $15 per week.
“In my valiso,” osntinned Mow
bray, “I havo aeverai letters from
mon who aro now dead to their
friends in this oonntry. One is
from H. L. Dunbar, who was a clerk
for the Panama Railroad. Ho
died the day before we left Aspin-
wall. Tte letter was written by
him to his brother, who works at
Nos. 58 and CO Worth street, this
city, and I received it from him
while he lay in the Uharity Hos
pital. A French engineer named
Deugieres arrived a few days ago
vnd assumed the chief directorship
of the operations.”
Sergeant Brainerd,of th* Greely
party, said that Ellison never com
plained, and whenever any com
plaint was made' by others bis
simple ramark was: “Boys, I
don’t see what you have to com
plain ol; I don’t complain.” That
romark was always sufOcilht to
stop tbe grumbling. Corporal Elli
son never knew that he had loit
both feet. A month alter his feet
were gone some one asked him how
he felt. He answered he was feel
ing all right, but the bottom of bis
right foot itched. It was feared
that if Informed of the lost of his
feet tbe shock would have killed
him. Every time the stumps of
his legs were dressed a screen was
so placed that he could not see
their condition.

THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT.
Am auiSad* mt Om SSO I
•e—Hew Is Will Be viaisk**,
Washington, Norember 19.—
Tbe Washington monument to day
reached a greater height than that
of any other etrnotnre in the world,
being 520 feet ten inobes abort the
floor of tbe monument. The next
highest structure is tbe epireof tbe
Cologne cathedral, wbiob tower*
515 feet above the floor of the
building. It ba* been eitimated
that it will take bnt twenty-fire
working days to complete tbe
monument, to there is not theleait
doubt of it being finished In time
for its dedication on tbe 22nd of
next February. A* tbe construc
tion of the roof progresses, tbe
question which excite* tbe most
curiosity is how tbe capstone i* to
be placed in poiltion. People pas
sing along the itreet look up and
see tbe large mast wbiob supports
tbe boom for lifting stone, projec
ting above the monument through
the very point wbiob will be occu
pied by the capstone, and wonder
how the latter can be placed In posi
tion when tbe mast ft taken down.
Tbe followingistbemanner in which
tbe work will be done. When only
nine more stones are wanted to
tbe summit, a little platform will
be built around tbe roof which will
be finished up to that point. Tbit
platform will be bracketed to large
timbers extending along the out
side surface of the roof and resting
upon the large platform wbiob can
be seen at the top of tbe shaft
proper on the outside. The. nine
stones needed to complete tbe work
will be hoisted by tbe big boom,
which is now at work, ana placed
on tbe. platform. The mast and
boom and whole hoisting apparatus
will be then taken down and en
tirely removed. In He place will
be creeled a quadrupod, tbs baso
resting npon ihe little platform re
ferred to. At tbe apex of this
quadrupod, which will be directly
above tbe location of the capstone,
will be a blook and taeklo by which
tbe remaining stones will be raised
and pnt in place. After tbe stones
are all up, tbe quadrupod will be re
moved, then the bracketed platform
and lastly tbe heavy timber* wbiob
supported it. The men will reaob
tbe large platform by mean* of a
ladder. The work will then be
oompleted, with tbe exception ot
removing the large platform. Ita
timbers will be taken in at tbe
windows, tbs last man on the oat-
side entering one of tbe permanent
windoes on the east'side, and tbe
iron beams whlob supported the
platform will be drawn in, and tbo
boles which were left for them to
pass throngb will ba replaced by
marble blooks, and everything will
be finished.
Marmalade is now nude from
banana skins in Philadelphia. An
enterprising Italian baa opened a
factory anil employs about twenty
Italian boys, who gstbsr tbs
banana skins from tbs gutters and
carry them to tbe factory, where
they are washed, ground and cook
ed, with sugar ana flavoring.
