IT has been said that while Mr.. Ed

New England, he would lack strength in
the West. But here is the st. Paul Pho

of the Northwest. which discusses the
available candidates, dismisses Arthur,
Blaine and the others and says:
There are men in the party, available
in the highest sense of the term. who
might be nominated this year, and against
whom not a single Republican vote would
be polled. Mr.. Edmunds is pre-emnent-
ly such a man, against whom not Re
publican of any shade of opinion, or an

There are others who might claim almost
as much, although they have not the
ideal fitness of the great Senator from
Vermont.

Tstana and the Silver Dollar.

Mr.. Bland, the Chairman of the Com
mittee on Coinage, Weights and Meas
ures, is giving expressions to opinions re-
specting the coinage of silver which do
not meet with general favor. There ap-
pears to be no doubt that he will exert
himself to the utmost to retain the COM
puIsorv coinage system. He is reported
as saving that Judge Kelley's bill to limit
the coinage of the silver dollar to $lOO,OOO
a year will not accomplish Judge kelley's
purpose Of forcing England 70
unite with France, Germany and
the United states in fixing a certain
value upon silver. His idea is that the
way to increase the price Of silver Is Tor
the United States TO make it scarce by
coming it into silver dollars and storing
it in the Treasury vaults. He does not
seem to think that it is possible that the
time may come when the standard dollar
will be accepted only for what it is really
worth. lust as the trade dollar is now &C
cepted. If it were not for the silver
certificates it is probable that the stand
ard dollar could not now be passed at its
face value. The people don't like the
coin and will not accept it, in any con-
siderable quantity. when they can avoid
doing so. The Treasury has tried
every means to increase the civ
culation of the standard dollar,
but has met with complete failure. The
coin comes back as fast as it is sent
out. If the coinage is continued and the
price Of silver drops a little further, it
would not be surprising if a movement
were started to refuse the standard dollar
except at its real value. The
loss which such movement
would cause the people would
be immense. Mr.. Bland is also reported
to be in favor of redeeming the trade dollar
by exchanging the standard dollar for it,.
This would allow the spectators in trade
dollars to make a very handsome profit. Mr..
Bland would get clear of the trade dollar
bv coming it into the standard dollar. 1t is
worth more than the standard dollar, and
the government would lose nothing by the
exchange. The coinage of the standard dol
lar, however, would be very considerably
increased. and that is something to be de-
plored. The probabilities are that al
though Mr.. BANDS committee may sus-
tain his views, the House will not. He
stands in the way, however, Of healthy
silver legislation. If Mr.. BANDS COM
mittee were favorable it would not be diff
fcuIt to secure the repeal of the compul-
sorry coinage act.

The year 1884 has begun. The MORNING
News hopes that it will be happy and
prosperous year for all its patrons and
friends. 1t is certain TO be an important
wear in the history Of the country. A PresI-
dent is to be elected and the struggle
between the two great political
parties will have a marked infu-
ence on business interests. The parties
are so nearly equal in strength that Meth
er feels certain of success. The doubt re-
specting the result and the fact that sue
cess may crown the efforts of the hardest
and shrewdest workers will intensity the
struggle. National topics and the merits
of Presidential aspirants will largely oc-
cupy public attention until the meeting OF
International conventions. From that time
until the election, the Presidential
canvass will oyershadOw everything else.
The indications are that the tariff will be
the leading issue of the canvass. If the
promise involved in the election of Speak
er Carlisle is fulfilled, the national Demo-
cratic party will declare for tariff reform.
No other issue so deeply concerns the in
terests Of the people Of the entire country,
and no other issue Is so freighted with
promises of success for the Democratic
party.
fthat party is entrusted with the con-
troll of the government on the tariff reform
issue, 1884 viii mark the beginning Of a
new era in industrial interests and mate
rial development Of the country. The
new South and the great West will be
brought into closer commercial relations.
4 low tariff will stimulate the develop
ment Of the mineral wealth Of the South,
and call into existence factories to manu-
facture her cotton. The West, richer
by being relieved of a portion Of the tariff
burden, viii become purchaser of the
SOuth's manufactured mineral and agri-
cultural products. This section Of
the South is eager for the
changes which this year promises to
bring. To Florida, with her accommodating
orange groves and vegetable farms, and
TO Georgia, with her magnificent agrlcul-
tural and mineral resources, and her
growing manufacturing interests, a
revenue tariff would be a blessing, the
stimulating and inyigOrating influence Of
which would be felt at once.
The MORNING NEWS enters upon the
New Year prepared to battle not only fer
this blessing, but for every other thing
which promises to promote the prosperity
of the South; and while battling for the
South's growth, it will leave no stone I'M
turned to advance It's own growth in all
the excellencies which mark the most
progressive journalism of the day.
