A DTSAPTRAUrNG DEFICIT.
Henceforth the panic of l8B3 and the bu«-
s disaster which It projected Into the
two succeeding years can be spoken of
In the pait tense."
THERE’S A GOOD TIME CUBING.
The deficiency in the revenues of the
government during -the last three years
has no doubt bad much to do with the
financial troubles of the country. For
several months biftore the close of Mr.
Harrison’s tenm of office the expenses
of ihe government ■wens largely in ex
cise of the receipts, and there was a
steady decrease of the treasury's shock
of gold. Tha decrease became so se
rious (hat at one time it was deter
mined to issue bouut, and it is said
that thte plates for printing them were
aetiiillv prepared. But 'Mr. Harrison
finally detetm nid that tbo treasury
could hold out until the 4th of March,
and that It would be good publics to
impose upon his Democratic successor
the disagreeable duty of Increasing the
public debt in a itlmci of pence, in older
to prraeove the Bold reserve intact znd
prevent the public from losing confi
dence in the aliilUty of the government
to meet Us Obligations In gold u» de
mand. When (Mr. Ofcwetand came into
power he trUd to escape the ner'ssity
of laiung boi»H ami would probably
have Iren successful If tfie revenues
had been suflleieM to pay the expenses
of the government. But they ware
not. lie was ddiged to pay those ex
penses, and so tt came about that, ho
Was forced to pay, practically, from
the gold reserve at a Wine when the
depletion of the reserve had shaken
confidence in tho soundness of our
monetary system. Bonds were tastfed
to keep up Use reserve, but In effect,
also, to pay the eXpaiMUs of itlbo gov
ernment.
It was under these unfavorable c r-
cumetnnree that the work of reducing
the iariiT wn* uudefttakeU fejf the Di-
ocratlc congress, anil ihe inevlln'-ie re
sult of that unWYtaklng of thiut work
was to add to tiae treasury’s emtnrnis*-
ment, no matter whoit the character
of tho now tariff Inw niigbt bo. There
has been a codin'Am of revenue under
cveiy new general tariff t.iiw until
trado could rcntVIiMt itasfif. In the face
of a cerkJln reduction of the duties,
during the long p.riod mtseo the strug
gle over the tariff bill was going on in
congrras, the reduction was luturally
large.
The prooeaa of readjustment has been
B»ing on. however, ami during the last
few months the totals of expenditures
ami rrevipt* bare mind ly approached
each cUhrr. There Is every prospect
that in a short time, unless the Income-
tax 4a declared umvntsltutlon.il, tlmra
will be a surplus, instead of » difielt,
in the revenue*. The llepulfilcan press.
In tta eaprmts to iliacredit tho now

Irtrat on, dentes that this is true, en
de.ivorlng to prove that the deficit will
continue, and that itotrrthre the coufi

can only be restored tiy she action of
a Kigalidlinn congress. But them la nit
loi*t one Ibgmhlinan iwawmspne which
i.s patriotic enough to tell ihe truth, and
ttius hflp the ooumrjr to recover from
the effntn of the pa uks. Tho St. Louis
Globe-Democrat aijs:
"There will he no detlclt In April From
tMa time onward, It Is safe to eay, the
icovertMM>nt'B income will at least meal

receipts of the government both at the
custom houses and the Internal revenue
call actors’ offices The fair working bal
ance which Ihe treasury baa on hand will
be maintained, and a few weeks hence It
will doubtless begin gradually to Increase.
'The government has mads Its last bond
sale for this year. Probably another will
not be necessary in many yearn.
'The dread that an extra session of
congress will have to be called If the su
preme court dedans the Income tax un
constitutional now vanishes. There Is no
real reason, of course, to suppose that
tha court will do this, but If It should
congress would not have to be summon
ed. Before the receipts from the tax be
gin to come In the government wUl he
la a post lion to do without them. The
tax la expected to yield between $30,000,000
end $40,000,000 a year, but the government
Is no longw seriously concerned about
thw Import. Whatever the tax yields wifi
be so much surplus. The trilling shortage
tn March, and the saimis which It
conveya that there will be no shortage at
all In April constitutes the reentry's
declaration of Independence on the in-
come tax quration. No mors gold or cur
rency scares are possible. The last cloud
tn the financial sky bo* been hspersed.
The business outlook grows brighter
every day. What the Telegraph has
slid on "he subject I* receiving sub
stantial support oo all sides, end Its
efforts too shimo the “croakere” and
the “parrot*” Into silence have been
kindly commended land Indorsed by
our eoatemporerjc*.
The commercial reports Itell of Im
proved conditions of trado in many of
the centers of commerce, more partic
ularly 1n flu-South. The demand for
money is Increasing, showing that on-
restore ore gaining confidence and
courage. The railroad* report mate
rial growth in trafllc, and-in filet all
the nows that comes now (s good news,
a continuance of wtrloh there Is oo good
reason to dotfbt.
The 'Manufacture™' Record of Baki-
mure puUfcshv* the opinions of repre
sentative men tn all parts of the coun
try. Leisters from such men as C. P.
Huntington, John II. Inman, lAJbnun S.
Hewitt, M. E. Ingalls and other end-
lent authorities tdiow that their views
are hopeful and safely conservative.
Mr. Thomas Booth, president of the
Merchants’ Exchange of -St. Louis, for
imuunce, says that “the improvement
which started the first month of the
year -has beoome emphasized."
We believe that the opinion* of eon-
»•-native and reliable business men of
Macon would support these opinions,
nnd that they are equally expectant
and hopeful Ot course, we need not
extract to feel the Change at once, but
we are certain ito get our share of the
sunshine which la gradually dispelling
tie clouds that have hung over the
country for So long a time.
TJhce Is every reason to hope. Those
who are trained to observe the s'gn*
tell us that we may confidently expect
change for the beater, anil even -those
accustomed to look only on the dirk or
side cannot fall to see the silver fining
to the cloud.

After going over briefly the Incidents

sajw:
'President Cleveland, Immediately after
his tnaufuration, was confronted with
this situation. There *u more t

"Tho man who believes that gold and

nays, in giving the doming of «ho
word ’intrinsic:”
"Inward; internal; hence, true; genu-
Ine: real; essential; inherent; hot appar
ent or accidental, aa the intrinsic value
of geld or sliver; the Intrinsic merit of
an action, etc.”
It occurred to Mr. AVcinlter thut the
litrii example he o»uld cite of Intrinslo
value wnst the Irttrinntc rahio of gold
and stiver. The Caereliurlon, on the
other haml, thinks neither gold or sil
ver hi* intr.nelc value—value Inherent

It scorns to us Wut the Constitution
is merely spluriTig fairs. It may be
true, ns It comeads, that nothing has
inherent value—thht rhe value of every
art Idle depends upon tho dcsnnnd for It,
hut this oouhuxtion doe* not touch the
point at Issue. Even if X be true that

faet remains (bait there is only a par

the demand for gold is universal.
It be true, iheretotn rfatt the rekuive

In our opinion, will be safe.

THE LAIW OF 1873.
sill
for Infants and Children.
Tho passage of the law of 1873 reg
ulnttlng it ho oolbaen of 'the U ai red
aite*. by which the dollar was drop
ped from the Jlgt of silver oolns, has
hceo represeored as lha success of a
terrlhlo conspiracy against Ihe mass
the people, anfllneered by the gold
trass of Wall and botribard streets.
Congress did not know who* it was
doing, It la said, but was (ricked Into
the demonetization of slh-et. One of
tbe principal witnesses crilKd io prove
that -this la true has been Judge Wil
liam D. Kelley of Pennsylvania, then,
as for many years after, a prominent
moanlber of congress. Jurtsre Kelley
did not deny -that llho bill wi* pend
ing uwo or Ithree years Irefore it w-m
pasted or tbat It was extooSlvffly dis
cussed on various occasions; hut he
said years after the ^passage of the
la/w, for .which he voted, that he did
not know that It dropped rhe silver
dolhv. The Louisville Courierijounial
has been looking up the record, which
show tbfit, If Judge Kelley did not
know that (he silver dollar was dropp
ed by the bill as It was passed, he
certainly did know (be year before.
In 1872, and was anxious I'hiw tho
flolhr should be dnoppqd. It finds In
Urn Con«r«MUraal Record a speech
made by Mr. Kelley In rtufly to Mr.’
Tof'er of \'«s York, In which he said:
One silver bullion dealer in New
York during the last omgroas admit
ted to the gentleman who la now act
ing aa chairman of the committee In
charge of the bill that under a defect
In exiating laws he waa making at the
coat of the government from $75,000 to
$100,000 a year. • • A conatituent of
the gentleman from New York has been
taking advantage of the ruling and de
posited silver to be made Into halt
dbllara and other silver coins; and for
every two dotlara’ worth of allver de
posited by him he gets four half dot-
lam and one ten-cent piece, or the
equivalent thereof. • • • Again, air, by
mistake In our law, it has become, Im
possible to retain an American allver
dollar In this country except tn col
lections of curiosities. They
coined In Considerable numbers, be a
source of enormous profit to the silver
bullion dealers of New York. •
Besides, sir, by dblng this (passing the
bills) we may retain within our coun
try a silver coinage which we cannot
do unless we do revise the laws In this
respect. • • Is the government of the
United States to be >i:*ue a pr»7 =7 Me
people of the world In order to give
large profit* to s <ew stiver bullion
ficaisra Ip N«V Yorkt"
I« Is ptTfocdy plain from this tbnt
Judge Kelley, In 1872. recogulznl the
foot (hot the silver dollar titta not
a petit of the currency at the United
States and that the provjron in the
law allowing It to be coined on 'lie
demand of any holder of *Uver bull
ion, ewe an undue (ulvantnge to spec
ulator*. In 1878. when he denied that
he knew tbit 4h1a law abotlAed Ihe
silver dollir, tho relattve poA.t on of
gold and, allver hid changed. Several
years lrad passed, during most ot which
ndbody paid tho sligllMit attention to
the new cotnagq ha, becjuso nobody
was having metal. Whether gold or
silver, coined. He ini'glut hove very
wed flongoMen hi* position six years
b.fore when be deentsod n question
which he might fairly have thin con-
rfdctod oot to be a pradteri one.
The fact ought no to be forgotten
for a moment, when th'* subject Is be
ing dl*cica**l, 'bit Aancrienn silver
doll.tr* were at no time before 1878
an appreciable part of (he currency
of Ihe United Stales. Before chat
time, only 8,000,000 of them bad been
coined, and these, because they were
worth more than the standard money
of the country, flokl, had been ex
ported aVraoPt as fast es they were
coined, being worth more a* bullion
tfan legal tender money. When Ibis
fact Is remembered, it Is easy to un
derstand that tbe ooooress of 1873
poraed (be new coinage law without
die slight rat conception of It* ’.mpor-
tance. Tbe members of that coogres*
could not foresee (hat ’the relative
value of gokl and silver would bo re-

aa ‘jt Is unreasonable. The oountry
fad been on s gokl tart* for two or
