Tho "hard times" aro beginning to
produce their efiect on imports and the
revenues of tho government. Tho rc-
coipts from customs, which, during the
last fiscal year averaged two million dol
lars moro per mouth than they did dur
ing 1891-2, havo bejun to fall. Thoso
for 'last month wero 82,500,000" below
thoso of tho corresponding month of
last year. Imports reached their high
est ioint in March, and einco then they
linvo been dwindling steadily. Tho
effect of tho financial stringency did not
. Bhow themselves nt the custom house
Jmmediately because tho bulk of the im
ports lind leen ordereil in ndyaneo of
tho "hard times.'" Orders nro being
.- j;ivou moro carefully now and tho vol
uuio of imports may bo decidedly less in

In that event there will ho a further
, reduction in revenue, but there will bo
i cone in expenses. Those for last month '
-. wen threo nnd a third million greater!
than for July, 1S92, though the total!
- rexonuo was about 83,.rAX,CO0 less. Thero
!
is no great Eurplus in tho treasury and
tho July expenditures were 8S,5OO,P0O in
, excess of the revenue for the month.

the product was put up to such high
tiguri'.-; that homo consumption was
eensibly diminished, while the export
trade was reduceil to a very low point.
This made tbo demand very' small by
other than speculators, and at last oven

tho market like a fl.od, and tho men
who had sought to get rich by holding
it were swept off their feet in the cur-
rcnt and landed on tho shores below to
keep company with other financial
wrecks that have resulte.i from attempts
to corner the food of tho people.
Asa prominent writer on financial
matters remarked in one of the great
dailies: "On broj I economical grounds
there are reasons why benefit may come
out of tho great drop in prices. The
product is now down where it can be
sold ami moved out, and that sort of
liquidation brings money and brings re
lief to tho situation."
Prominent operators wero on tho
market tho next day picking up all the
j offerings at tho reduced prices, and it is
I understood that a good part of the etui"
was sold for export to bo paid for with
some of tho gold ordered to bo sent this
way this week. As for tho gamblers
who have lost heavily by the collapse,
they deserve no pity and will recoivo
none, except, perhaps, from a few per
sonal friends. Thoy invited disaster and
now must suffer it pari or tho couse
quencej of their own folly.

However diverse may be tho theories
of senators and congressmen regarding
financial legislation, ono underlying
motive should animate all. Let the
natit nal credit bo sustained at all
hazards. It is not more currency the
cjuntry needs fo much as moro con
Sideuco. If doublo tho amount of cur
rency were to bo suddenly had it would
not eace the money market a particlo
f:ic'' :! 1:!:i5 condition then. Tho country
h .is bti r. prt.rperons nnd full of activi
ties ,5cfon:icr years whej it hart much
less currency than now. But it had
then confidence and tiie money circulat
ed. So, after all, tho real impetus of
business is faith.
The true policy of the government is
to strengthen its credit. If to do this it
is r.eeec;:ry to buy gold by selling londs
it will bo tho cheapest and most eco
nomical thingjto do. To go on as wo
aro now costs billions. Rut when the
United States takes from Europe some
or the gold hoarded there the national
credit will bo strengthened, public con
fidence restored, business activities re
sumed, profits will again appear, labor
v;11 hnv0 employment nnd even fcilver
"ill bo benefitted.

The situation in Denver, as it was
pictured in tho dispatches Inst Wednes
day is truly pitiable. It is n new nnd
terrible experience for this generation
of Americans to see great masses of
men wh- nre r.blo nnu willing 10 work
siisTering from hunger. Ono of tho
cro:vninggIorits of tho Republican parly
has beoa tho fact that under its rule
there has always been work nnd wages
for the growing population of tho coun
try. The constant development and eli
versilication of industries under protec
tion has created a steady demand for
labor which not even tho great volunio
of foreign immigration could sat'sfy.
Tho closing of tho silver mines in
Colorado and the general stagnation of
manufacturing industries havo forced n
multitude of men into idleness. Public
and privato charity is taxed to the
utmost to keep tho unemployed in
Denver ncd its vicinity from actual
starvation. Soupdisponsaries hnvo been
established, Grtny tents erected nnd rn
tions of bread nnd meat issued by
wholesale; yet the host cf famished and
homeless men increases daily. The j
suuaiioii appeal, to ino sympaltiy o:

TheXew Orleans States in a recent
article attacked tho pentiion Hysto'm in a
vigonrus article and yelped like a whip
ped cur, and whined at tho enormous
amount the south was paying into the
treasury for pennionB for the Union sol
diers. It claims that since the war tho
south has contributed toward the pay-
i ment of pensions tho enormous sum
of f.T-;0,000,000.

From the report of the commissioner
of internal revenue of 1500, tho latest
we have, wo obtain tho respective
a'nounts of internal revenue, the only
form cf taxation paid directly to tho
national government derived from tho
several states. Ir?t us compare theso
with the amounts of pensions which go
to the various states:
Texas paid, 5"OG,'57.1 of internal taxes
into the federal tieasury and drew out
cOtV.,250. Illinois, on tho other hand,
paid SnG,7Ki.:V.3 of tLo internal tax and
itrew out only $D.3J'",0CX in tho form of
pensions to her citizens. South Caro
liiri, tho implacable, foe of Union veter
ans, paid only S71.S12 of the tax and
drew in pensions 6171,120, while New
York paid 817,870,978 and received
only Sll,7CiV'lIK). Tennessee contrib
uted $1.27S,Su2 and received 82,431,-
j xs. xebraka and tho two Dakotaspaid
31,S93,ri3S and received $S,TD1,05D. Ala
b.ima's tax was 8Kj,771. Hor pension
receipts wero 8100,729. Arkansas con
tributed 895,71S.PG to the internal reve
nue and received 81,170,903.77 in pension
payments. Louisiana and Mississippi
paid together 8731,S32i!3 and received
sS17,5.2.1.j.
IJ thus appears that tho southern
states profit by whatever of sectionalism
thoro is in tho pension laws. If tho
northern states receive mcro in tho ag
gregate they also bear moro than their
share of tho burden. In view of there
facts, it is not only unpatriotic, but
supremely impudent, in southern Demo
crats to assail tho north for paying
mono out of its own pocket to keep tho
heroes who preserved the Uuion from
poverty and tho alms-houe.
Teaclur.s Institute.
Tho second week of tho instituto
shows an increased attendance and in
creased zeal on tho part of both instruc
tors and teachers. Tiio enrollment has
now reached nearly 100 par cent of the
necessary teaching forcoof the county.
Every ono teems to be working hard,
full of enthusiasm, nnd wed! pleased with
the institute. Tiio social feature is !
no means an unimportant faotor, and
every one enjoys it, and is profited by it.
There seems to be a teudency on the
part o tho teacherfe to undertako to do
too much work; that is, to take pnrt in
too many classes. Wo fear that this is
duo to tho idea, that, in order to pass a
satisfactory examination it is necessary
to take the work in all tho branches.
Prof. Dearmont's history class is one
of the largest and most enthusiastic; its
members have beeu studying tho re
bellion. The physiolng claps in charge of Prof.
Maxwell is giving attention to tho spe
cial organs of sense.
The classes iu arithmetic are large, but
Prof. L'liidoti conducts them very skill
fully. Those mentioned and tho classes in
K.iglish grammar and mental science,:
conducted by Prof. Gallaher, aro tho
largest classes in the institute.
Tho iutereot in all tho classes is in
creasing, and in somo of them it seems to
have reached fever heat already.
The name of Miss Edith Oilman, of
Independence, Kansas, was omitted fron
our list last week. Tho following havo

apportionment of tho etato school mon
ies and the amount apportioned to Holt

Oreeon Baptist (Colored) Church.
The president of the Bible society vis
ited, last Sabbath, the Baptist (colored)
church, of this city, in the object of in
ducing them to furnish their Sabbath
school with Testaments and Bibles.
He listened attentively to the Sabbath
school lesson and was greatly interested
in their questions and nnswers upon the
lesson.
Ho could not but notice the improve
ments made in their church houBe, as it
lias been nicely papered and otherwise
made moro attractive.
This school differs from most Sabbath
schools of tho county as it is attended,
as it should be, by many of tho parents,
who tnko on active part in tho exercises.
At tho close of the regular lessons
verses from tho Scriptural w;re repeat
ed nnd to all such n Testament was given
and tho school was supplied with n dozen
or more, and as the good work of supply
ing their pupils with Testaments has
begun, it will, without doubt, go on until
all tho pupils are supplied.
The Baptist church, of this city, is tho
first to supply its school in tho county,
nnd it would bo well for tho other
schools of tho county to iruitato their
