Demand for Silver Dollars.

There is brisk movement of silver
dollars all over the country just now, and
when the CROPS aretii harvested 1t is
likely TO be even brisker. The Treasury
Department from Washington reports an
issuance of 100000 more week in sill
yer dollars then during the same period
last year, which woIld seem 10 Indicate
iha, this lcllar IL not growing rs aGp9a-
ular az so.ae persons pretend, ala is not
going entirely out of favor. The demand
is now i'm excess of the regularly monthly
coinage OF $4,000, 900; thar is. more are
beng issued and sent out thaa are being
coined. This fact is not like'gs to afford
the monometalists ard other enemies of
silver much comfort. Their great arga-
lnent has been tie popular objection to
the silver dollar, the refusal Of the people
to take The dollar which was never Issued

can hardly use that argument with much
force IN the face of the fact that the pop

opponent, Senator Eustis. The
Buffalo Courier, speaking of Sen
ator Gibson's recent letter says:
There is noteworthy contrast
between the attitude Of The foolish
Senator Eustis, who, disappointed
III his hope Of spoils, abused the
President and his cabinet. and Sen
ator Randall L. Gibson of Louisi-
ana, one of the abiest southern
statesmen. In a letter which has
just been published he points OFT
how much TIE democracy OF Lou

at the political change which TOOK

in more than I generation, that our
people have seen the federal Offices
IN the state occupied by men who
shared their fortunes, and every
one of whom IS IN honcred mem
Der of the democratic party. This
is said in no narrow partisan splr-
i. The men who not long ago
held the most important federal
offices in Louisiana were unserup-
uious aslventurers, and seme OF
them persons not fit 10 live outside
Of state prisons. Most of them
were hardly better identified with
the people among whom they eA-
erclsed Official powers than the
English who govern India. Sena-
tor Gibson shows that he does moi
look upon Offices as mere party
spolls. "The poorest nutrlment
for a political party" hesays, SIS
the public patronage" adding:
The moment party feeds and
fsttens on the spoil it begins to
Gle IN the heart of the people and,

disposition, they will be impatient
to administer a stern rebuke to
