UNFOLDING.
The senatorial fight grows in
teresting apace. First, Senator
Dubois declared that Senator
Shoup said he would not be a
candidate. Shoup swears he
didn't say it. Then comes the
friends of Willis Sweet protesting
that Shoup is acting in bad faith;
that he had promised not to be a
candidate and to support Sweet.
Now comes Shoup saying he did
nothing of the kind. Shoup as
serts that his candidacy is the re
sult of a definite arrangement
made between himself and Sweet
prior to the state convention.
The Tribune explained that
some time ago. At the bottom
of it is considerable political
prevarication and Shoup is not
responsible for it.. The whole
thing will come out before the
legislature convenes and it won't
redound to the creditability of
Messrs. Sweet and Dubois.
There are reasons other than the
election of Shoup why Mr. Sweet
should be retired.
A DEPARTURE.
S
, , , - , ,,
In view of the approach o£ the
Mays and a full realization of ;
holidays
the fact that printers usually get
but little of the rest and recrea
tion which fall to the common lot
at such times, and in view of the
further fact that this is the time
when the unfortunate delinquent
taxpayer sees his name and his
possessions in the newspapers,
The Tribune will forego semi
weekly publication for .a period.
We are informed by the tax col
lector that the delinquent tax
story will be unusually long this
season and as it is a gloomy, dis
connected affair, we have con
cluded not to inflict it on the
public with greater frequency
than the law actually compels.
There is no profit in making the
people feel unnecessarily sad and
disconsolate and as no man know
eth when his own name may ap
i
i
j
pear in the delinquent list, it is
"**
best not to parade those who are
this season unfortunate, more
than can be avoided. Besides
all this, The Tribune force is
calculating on sprinkling a little
joy into their own dreary lives
during the season of holidays
and instead of getting out a 48
page edition, we have concluded
that the birthday of Christ and
the opening of a new year would
be more properly and humanely
observed by a slight remission of
labors. People are generally too
much engrossed in pleasure and ;
recreation to care about reading
much during the holidays any- I
All things considered and;
during^ J , 1
way*.
especially the delinquent tax lists, ,
it is thought that a 1 ribune a ;
week for a while will supply the
demand.
GWINN AND L TTLE.
In this issue o t The Tribune
will be found announcement of a
business change in the firm of
Montie B. Gwinn Mercantile Co.
which requires no further ex
planation. The Tribune feels j
that much of the prosperity of j
Caldwell is due to the enterprise
and public spiritedness of both
those gentlemen. No man
has worked more indefatigably
and disinterestedly for the up
building of his community than
has Montie B. Gwinn. His en
ergy has been untiring and his
labor invaluable. That he has J
prospered is true and that he has
deserved prosperity goes without
saying. Hundreds of people Î
have benefited by that prosperity i
and many a poor man -luis occa- j
siun to biesb Mr. Gwinn s gen- »
erosity of heart. In his way
Mr. Tom K. Little has been an
important factor in the progress
of this city. Devoting himself
more assiduously to the large
S business interests of his firm, he
has not been able to take so ac
tive a part in public matters, but
with hand and heart has always
been ready to contribute to the ut
most of his power to every enter
prise for the benefit of the com
munity at large. He has as
sumed a large part of the burden
of the business in order that Mr.
Gwinn might have mere time to
give to public interests. The
Tribune feels that this is a fitting
time to make some acknowledg
ment of the obligations which
Caldwell owes them and in doing
so we believe we give expres
sion to the dominant sentiment of
the city. On the first day of
1895, the business relations which
has heretofore existed between
those gentlemen will be terminat
ed and each will take charge of
separate concerns. Our wish is
that a continued and increased
prosperity will be theirs and that
they will receive that degree of
support which honorable business
methods and liberal public spirit
edness entitles them to.
PURELY DEMOCRATIC.
No prominent Republican has
yet expressed an opinion on the
merits or demerits of the currency
plans that are being urged by
Mr. Cleveland ' s administration,
therefore, whether good or bad,
they must he considered as purely
an / sole i Democratic measures.
The u J erlying princ ip le js the
each of the various
same
schemes brought forth, which is
that bankers shall have absolute
control of the currency circula
tion . They may issue or refuse
to issue, expand or contract, en
large or diminish the money sup
ply as best suits their pleasure,
whim or convenience. In addi
tion to a free grant of this unlim
ited and dangerous power, it is
proposed to pawn the credit of
the people for the direct and im
mediate benefit of the banks.
The bankers would seem to ask
authority to circulate vast quanti
ties of credit money for their own
profit and at the same time re
quire that the whole nation shall
stand responsible for the ultimate
redemption of that money. Tak
ing the most generous view pos
^ only , ogjcal conclusion
lra\
to be ' dr f wn ^ (h £ , he bank( . rs
ability to issue money is superior
to that of government while their
ability to redeem is confessedly
inferior. Why should this spec
ial privilege be granted to bank
ers? It seems that secretary
Carlisle was unable to satisfactor
ily answer the question, and to
allay his own misgivings, pro
vided that the ten per cent tax on
state bank circulation should be
removed. He saw the incon
slst of permitting private cor
[io J ns a J d indivi< f u ' al s to exer
^ a function . aid of al
g. vernment wh £ h states 6 w „ e
§ isc ed and ticall
government wmcn states were
hibitcd from exercising by national
- 0 J
statute. But why restrict the
issuance of circulating notes to
one or any particular class of
business establishments?' Why
not permit merchants and manu
facturers and farmers to deposit
a safety fund with government
and proceed to issue money as
the exigencies of fortunes dic
tate? Has it come to such a
pass in this country that banking is
a royal business entitled to exercise
sovereign prerogative? These
schemes are nothing short of a
combination of rag baby and wild
cat money ideas. It is green
backism and state bankism in one,
and in an intensified form. But
overshadowing it all is the pro
digious gall of the thing. The
people of the United States are
told in terms that it is the pecu
liar province of banks to issue
money and the imperative duty
of the people to redeem it. This
is finance with a vengeance. We
say we do not know where the
Republican leaders stand on this
proposition, but we believe they
will oppose it to a man. We be
lieve it is purely Democratic and
illustrates the constitutional ina
bility of that party, as an organ
ization, to comprehend sound
business principles.
