ABOUT SILVER.

Our mono-metallic contemporaries,
which recently noted the continued fall
in the price Of silver as something to be
grateful for by the working-classes and
producers Of this Kingdom, have not had
a word to say about its late rapid upward
movement and consequent depreciation
Of gold. Silver was quoted at 4615d in
London November 10th, or IS lO15d;
and at New York it sold the same day at
1OO4c, or about As 234 per ounce. This
is an advance Of 10 per cent since July
last, and a well-informed American
financial paper calculates that it Will
reach 5Od per ounce at London before
the year Is out, the point at which it
stood in January, 1885, when the marked
downward movement began. Now, it
follows from these fluctuations Of silver,
measured of course by the gold standard,
that it Is gold and not silver which var
les in value chat is, in its purchasing
power from day to day, and that it is
impossible to fix any permanent standard
OF value with one metal alone. Let,
however, a ratio of weight between the
metals be established by international
consent and an equilibrium Of values
will be attained, or at least as nearly so
as possible. We are not without hope
that an international arrangement to
this effect will be come to before long, to
be followed logically by an international
coinage based on the decimal system.
But the point we make is this, that the
value Of the much-vaunted gold dollar
was 10 per cent less in London and New
York, the two great financial centers of
the old and new world, on November
10th than it was on July 31st of the
present year, with the prospect of its be-
coming of still less value. What, then,
becomes of the honesty" of gold as the
measure of value? 1t is the usurer's and
money lenders measure" whereas sill
yer does not fuctuate and is the honest
metal which does the worlds work.

THE NEW DIFFUSION PROCESS.

We invite the attention of planters and
others interested in the sugar industry
to dispatch from Washington, on the
result OF recent experiments with
sorghum and sugar cane by the new diff
fusion process, which appears in another
part of the ADVERTISER of to-day. If the
result claimed for it be capable of prac-
teal demonstration on a large scale,
existing conditions of the sugar industry
may be changed, because sorghum will
become a more serious competitor than
beet with cane sugar. If, however, any
thing like so per cent can be added to
the product OF sugar cane by the adop-
ton of the new process, which is said to
be not much more expensive than that
now in use, cane sugar will probably
hold its own in the future as it has done
in the past. This is the conclusion
which Professor Richardson, Assistant
Chemist for the Agricultural Bureau at
Washington, is reported to have arrived
at after sufficient experiment.

4 REPUBLICAN GOD DETHRONED

The Hon. w. A. Clark, in n very few
words at the barbecue the other day, ex-
posed the absurdity OF Senator Sherman's
views upon the silver question. Sherman,
who by the way, is the great exponent OF
the views of the Herald and 1ntcr-Moun-
tain upon the silver question, favors put
ting "a dollars worth OF silver in the silver
dollar" Commenting upon this Mr.. Clark
thus dethroned this Republican god:
Let me cite to you in this connection an
example OF the statesmanshipa financial
ability of one OF the ghts OF the Republic
can party-the views OF a man i'll that
party who has been regarded as one OF the
greatest, if not the greatest tinancier-l al
lude to Senator John Sherman. This as
tute poll tician, the interests OF whose con-
stituency would demand from him loyalty
to silver, being from the State OF Ohio, but
who has been always it's uncompromislng
foe, and who to-day is seeking wider con.
stituency in the presidency of the United
States, said the other day in Louisville
Kentucky, that we must make the silver
dollar an honest dollar by putting in it a
dollars worth of silver. At that time sill
yer was worth 81 cents an ounce; to-day
it is worth 97S cents per ounce. ii the
ideas CT Mr.. Sherman could have been car
ried into exec ution, every twenty silver
dollars coined under that rule would TO-
dav be worth 81 40 more than twenty
dollar gold piece. Who could conceive o.
| A. policy more monstrous or absurd than
this. or one that would so readily under
mine the very foundations OF all com
mercial relations?

THE TRUE AND THE FALSE.

ssThe entire administration OF President
Cleveland has been an administration OF
broken promises and violated pledges.
Section 9,O11, Article 2,7eO, Jumbo
platform.
Among the promises which the Demo-
cratic party made during the last presi-
Dental canvass was inceased prosperity in
the event the national administration was
handed over to it. On the other hand, the
Republican party gave n solemn pledge
that Democratic victory would result in
ruin and disaster to the country. These
two pictures we're drawn by two differ
ent hands. Which is the true and which is
the false? Let us see.
A large burden of taxation has been re-
moved from tue shoulders OF the people;
the national debt is being rapidly decreased;
the settlement of the public domain by a
most desirable class of foreign and native
born people is far in excess OF that dur
ing preceding years, and taking the country
throughout the people are contented,
happy and prosperous. As one evidence oi
this fact we insert the following from the
reC1r1ng message OF Ine hepuDuCan 0oVeTu-
or OF Vermont, sent to the Legislature oi
that State the other day:
"The last two years have been the most
auspicious in the history OF our State.
Savings banks deposits have increased over
$3.50, 900, the great industries OF the State
have prospered and skilled and unskilled
labor alike command fair remuneration"
This is from a State in which the effects
of adverse legislation or a profligate ad.
ministration would be most severely felt.
That State had no boom nor rush of new
blood within its borders. Its industries
were planted century ago and prosper
only with the prosperity of the country.
Now, which is the false and which the true

DAKOTA POLITICS.

Under the above caption, the St. Paul Globe
thus presents the situation in that Terri
tory:
Notwithstanding the large Republican
majority in Oak ota there are strong indica-
tions that the Territory will be represented
by Democrat in the next Congress. There
are two prominent reasons why it should
be so. In the first place the Dem ocrats
have presented a candidate, in the person
of Mr.. Day, who is capa BILE OF looking after
the interests Of the Territory. He is n
brainy man, uEselfish and untiring in his
devotion to the interests of the Territory
and will make q representative in whom
the people OF Dakota could confide and of
whom they would be proud. In the next
place the people of Dakota realize the inn
portance of having a territorial representa-
tive who is in accord with the administra-
ton and with the ma jority in the house Of
which he is q member. They see the dis
advantages Mr.. Clifford lahored under
during the last session OF Congress. The
interests of the Territory are Of more con-
sequence to the people OF Dakota than the
success OF party or OF individuals. This is
the practical view they are likely to take
of it and will accordingly vote for Mr.. Day,
without regard to political convictions or
to party lines."
The reasons here given why the people OF
Dakota should vote for the Democratic
candidate apply with equal force in Mon
tana. 1t is quite as important that Mon
tana's delegate in Congress should be in
political accord with the administration
and with the majority OF the House OF
which he is a member as that Dakota's
representative should be. Too much stress
cannot be laid upon the Importance of
there being political accord between the
Territorial delegate and the power from
which he seeks favors. Mr.. Toole would
feel perfectly at home at Washington. trisg
surrounded by political friends and within
an atmosphere OF Democracy. On tine
other hand Col. Sanders would be as lone
some as sheep-herder. At the White
House he would be confronted by the man
whom he had traduced us "a thick-necked
BRUTE" while at his right and left he would
encounter gentlemen who regard with sus-
picion any mau SO lost to common dccency
as to speak of the chief magistrate OF II
great nation in language befitting only the
bully OF a prize ring.

CHICAGO; October 1S.-The strike OF the
hacking house workmen was formally
ended this afternoon. The strikers held
mass meeting on the prairie about p. M, at
which from IL, 900 to 1000 were present.
The proposition to return to work on the
ten.hour plan was carried almost unanl-
mously, and the strike declared at an end.
Shortly afterward Barry waited on Ar
mour and said the strike was ended and
that the men would return to work TO-
morrow morning
WITHOUT MAKING ANY CONDITIONS.
The packing house owners will keep their
new men, and by running the houses up to
their full capacity expect to be able TO re

clared at an end the announcement was
made that the packers had adopted a WIN

that the duties can be performed without
infringing on the rights of any citizen in a
manner that shall be firm and at the same
time free from an unnecessary display OF
authority. 1t is not expected that super
visors and deputy marshals will receive
compensation for more than fve days
service, and they should be SO informed.
Within this time all can be done
that it is thouaht ought to be. You need
vigiant men who are conscientious workers

AR Michael L

Last evening Mr.. Michael Davitt ad-
dressed the largest assemblage OF persons
that ever met in the Grand Opera House.
His subject was a presentation OF the pres
ent situation in Ireland and the causes
which led to it. 1t is unnecessary to state
that Mr.. Davitt is thoroughly familiar
with his subject, and that he presented 1t
in clear, intelligent and entertaining man
ner. Press of time forbids review OF bis
admirable address in this issue. Suffice it
to say it fully justified the expectations
which had been formed by our people o.
Mr.. Davitt's ability as an exponent OF thu
Iriah cause.
