TRE OTHER SIDE.

The New York paper that does not come
denouncing the Western people as repudia-
tionists is as rare.as an angels visit. One
gets the impression on reading them that
the belief in New York is that every man in
the West is an undisguised rascal. We do
not remember TO have seen accounts OF any
Western Lambert, or Case, or Gilman, or
any such rottenness as has been disclosed
by the investigation of the Security and Pop
ular Insurasce Companies, or the National
Trust Company. We have not heard that
the rehypothecation of securities is prac-
tice in which any other street than Wall
habituallv INDUCES.

TEE PLAIN TRUTH.

The following editorial paragraph from
the St. Louis Rep'dtioon expresses the truth,
exactly, in regard to the sentiments OF the
people on the silver question, and the best
thing The East can do is to understand at
once that the people are in earnest IN this
matter,-that they regard the question oil
the reconciliation of silver as oyer-shadow-
ing all other issues that they are deter
mined that this thing doll Re dam, and that
neither party lines nor anything else, VIII
be strong enough to swerve them from this
purpose. The Republican says:
The New York Tribune wants the admInis-
tration and the Republican opponents to stop
auarrelling, come to a better understanding,
and consolidate the Republican ranks for
the coming conflict with the most dangerous
enemy the nation has had 10 face since Lee
invaded Pennsylvania" the dangerous
enemy here alluded 10 is the movement for
remoneiiziug silver and making IL
legal tender or all debts. II Is assumed
that this .'silyer Reputation" scheme, as II
is called, is exclusively Democratic IN ii.
| origin and character, and that the dismern
bered Republicans can find the key 10 re-
unification in a common opposition to it.
The Democrats could well afford TO accep
the exclusive responsibility of silver remone
tization, if they were entitled TO it. But they
are not. Republicans in the west are neari,
as uniteJIy IN favor of the measure as TIN
Democrats. Parry lines are yielding befor
it and making iU the most broadly popula
movement that has been witnessed in TIN
west for many years. IL Was b cause the Re
pubiicans OF OHIO are in favor of ii that III
Republic an ticket, only h'llf pledged 10 silve
remonetiz ttion, was beaten last October
There is not one state out of twenty-five tina

TEMPERANCE is attracting much atten-
ton, showing itself in local option laws, So
cieties, crusaders and restrictions upon Ii
quor production; but with all these efforts,
the consumption Is enormous, and, undoubt-
edlv the reason Is because there is nothing
strenuously advocated to relieve and de-
stroy the craving for stimulants. But, If

Doing a Business ON n Falling Ma
kess
l.hfcagn TribunQ
lChicago Tribune.l

Chicago Tribune.l
In his recent speech at Boston "club-
dinner" Gen. Butler made some observa-
lions which explain why the times continue
to grow harder. "Men," he says, "cannot
do business on falling market and they
are afraid to try. The attempt to resume
on gold alone Is causing the perpetual
shrinkage in the value Of property, and
consequently is enhancing the weight of
debts Restoration of silver as legal-tender
will stop the shrinkage and start prices up
ward. This would restore confidence in
future values, and cause enterprising men
to again embark in business" Says But
Ter: Thereafter it would be known
to all mankind, values would go
upward and upward till they near the
alue OF the labor and m ,terial put into
them. When that comes there will come
business. No man will build a ship il he
thinks that month after it Is made its
value will be lessened 10 per cent. No
manufacturer wants TO make yard of cloth
when its cost is likely to fall in month,
and so business is paralyzed. But let it be
understood that the lower line Of depres-
sion is reached; let the passage Of this Sill
yer bill be an assurance that there shall
not be thereafter any destruction Of the val
ues of property which has come
from this attempt to reach specie pay
ments, and business will come back in
a returning tide of prosperity all over
the country. No city needs this prosperity
more than Boston. Look at your burnt
district, There is no better built business
section in any city in the world and yet,
as a whole. it does not, l believe, pay more
than 3 per cent, and II per cent Of that
goes for taxes. Some people say that this
depression in business is because Of over
production, and according to that idea, the
poor in this country may get very rich by
being idle a year. But the trouble is not
over-production, it is under consumption"
and q failing market with contraction Of
prices that are running the prosperity of the
country. There is something wanting to
start bushes, again, and that something is
confidence BY an upward lift in prices:
The confidence that shall make q man feel
that he can invest his money safely In busl-
ness and give labOrers q chance to work. j
tell you, gentlemen, IL Is nOsmall matter thai
there are in this country 1000 90 Idle laboring
men. This involves a los Of S2.WO. 90 day !;
