OF course all Nevadans are interested
10 the welfare Of silver. The market has
not responded to the alleged favorable
action Of the Royal Commission Of Eng
land and the election Of General Hsrri'
son, ss wss promised BY Senators Jones
and Stewart. Jones pledged his word
and honor In : speech at Reno that II
Harrison were elected silver would go to
par ia six months. Stewart said sub
stantially the same thing in divers and
sundry speeches in divers and sundry
places. Up TO date silver has ~obstinstely
refused TO bulge. The latest quotation
at hand is 93s. Il was 94s on or about
election day. The whole truth is that
our election cuts no figure in the market
price Of the metal. The United States
does mob 6x or control the market.
London does that for the whole civilized
world. The action Of the English Gov.
srnment on the subject is, therefore, i'm
portsns. while any step on u part, with
out cooperation, amounts to but little,
unless we should cut loose from all the
rest Of the monetary world. which we
should do, but are not likely to do, and
utilize the entire silver product OF the
country either by free coinage or the is
suauce Of certificates based on bullion
bars. We can do q good deal by setting
MP In business for ourselves, but il is en-
tremely doubtful II we can force the mar.
ket to par, or anything experimenting it,
without an understanding with England
and Germany and France and the Lati.
Union. There lie q strong sentiment In
all of these countries In favor Of the res
toratiou Of silver. 1t is particularly
dominant among the middle and poorer
classes. Millionaires are against silver
everywhere. This is N reason why the
Republican party Of this country has
been SO bitterly hostile 10 the white metal
In past years. II was the bondholders
and ~millionairss and manufacturing bar
ons and corporations which largely con
stitute that party that caused the over
throw and decentralization Of silver In
1873. Silver Is pre-eminently the cur
rency Of the poor man. The Democratic
party Is composed of the bone and sinew
of the land. Four-ffths Of all the cor
porations and monopolies in America are
In Republican hands. Personally We
haven't the slightest confidence In a party
90 constituted doing anything for silver
But it's leaders have promised and we arr
willing to wait and see. In the meantime
there Is a Misrepresentation in these part
rs to what England's Royal Commission
really recommended. As q matter Of fac
It recommended nothing. The Commits
sion divided equsl-a tie. This leave
the question just where il stood and re
mits the whole subject to Parliament
The Commission was only advisory
Nothing can be done without Parlia
ment's sanction. Lord Salisbury and hi
Tory Government are gold bugs, and q
measures are seldom brought forwsr'
without the sanction Of the Ministry
silver stands o poor show In Englan'
while present conditions prevail. Th
Gladstone party Is the party OF the PEG
pie and Of silver In England, just as tn
Democratic party is In this country. TIL
Tory party Of England and the Republl
can party Of America are substantial,
the same. They comprise the privileges
classes as against the masses, in bot
countries. There Is little hope for tn
reconciliation Of silver in England Will
the Tory party manages to hang together
and il has been given out repeatedly tina
1t Is the ambition Of the present Ministry
come whs may. to continue in powe
until Mr.. Gladstone, now aged, but Wig
orous. shall have passed away. Tw
things are, therefore, necessary for tn
betterment of the silver situation
throughout the world--the death Of Glad
stone and the dissolution Of the Tor,
Government In England. II is true tina
Mr.. Gladstone IL the ardent friend o
silver, bat Ii is alse true that the Tor,
gold bugs are held in line through fear o
him. II would therefore appear tina
both Of the events noted must happen be
fore the interests of the masses can stant
any show of consideration at the hand
of the British Parliament. We are sorr,

that the immediate outlook for silver Il
not as rosy by half as it has been painted
