The Chicago Times has once more
begun its idiotic drivel about the dan
ger of collapse of the currency on
the silver basis
Wheat has already ''collapsed' to
30 cents Il bushel.
Cattle have ''collapsed'' till they
are hardly worth shipping to market.
Owners Of farms are fast "collaps-
ing to the basis" of tenant farm-
ers
Merchants and manufacturers are
''collapsing' al! over the country be-
cause there is not sufficient volume Of
money for business purposes.
Tax payers are ''collapsing' with
the burden OF taxation.
The stolnachs Of million working.
men are in state of perpetual ''col.
lapse, because they can't get bread
enough to fill them.
But the only collapse that the
Times can talk about il the currency

An Alluring Platform.

The trust organs of every shade
and grade which are advocating the
interests of the classes and not those
of the masses. naturally do not want
the true issue as presented by the
Mills bill. TO 90 before the country.
They are determined that tariff re-
form shall be understood TO mean
free trada-and free trade in their vo-
cabulary is the sum of all commercial
yillainies. The proposition to place
wool on the free list excites them to
apparent fury.
But what is there more criminal IN
free wool than in free hides? Woo
now is taxed. hides come in without
tax. DO tea and coffee taste the
worse because they are imported un
taxed? Of course their free importa
ton stimulates consumption AM
thereby benefits the foreign importer
who according to the gospel of tn
protectionists. we should regard a
natural enemies and injure as mucl
as we can.
A high tariff does not exclude WOO
and wooden fabrics which stand sec
ond on the list of imports i'll the or
der of value: nor does free trade slim
alate the Importation of hides ant
skins which stands ninth in value OF
the list. The law of supply and de
lmand regulates imports: the tariff in,
fluences prices when it assumes a pro
tectiye form.
There is one thing which nearly all
the Trust organs agree should be
relieved OF taxes. and that is whiskey
Dear clothing, dear lumber, dear
fuel. dear houses. dear tools. and
cheap whiskey is the alluring plat
form of the trusts and their republic
can organs.

AN ERA OF LETTERS.

One OF the Most Notable characteristics
Of the Current Decade.
The eonlescen>ion 10 literature and
to the stage Is one Of the notable char
actrristics Of this agreeable time. We
have 10 admit that literature is rather
the fashion without the violent pre-
sumption that the author and the
writer have the same social position
tina, is conferred by money, or by the
mysterious virtue there is in pedigree.
A person does not lose caste by using
the pen, or even by taking the not
needed pay for using it.
To publish book or to have an
article accepted by magazine may
give sort OF social distinction. either
as an exhibition of a certain uneN-
pected capacity or a social cccentrici-
ty. Ii is hardly too much to say that
it has become the fashion to write. rs
il used to be to dance the minuet well.
or 10 Use the broadsword, or to stand Il
gcnilemanly mill with renowned
bruiser. Of course, one ought not to
do this professionally eNactly--ought
not 10 prepare for doing it by study
and severe discipline, by training for
it rs for u trade. but simply to toss it
of easily, rs one makes a call, or pays
compliment, or drives fonr-in-hanh.
One does not need to have that in
terror impulse which drives poor
deNi! of IN author to express himself.
that something to say which tormcnts
the poet into eNtrcmc irritability I'M
less lie can be rid of it, that noble
hunger for fame which comes from !,
consciousness Of the possession of vital
thought aud emotion. The beauty OF
this condesScnsion to literature o
which we speak is that i. has that quail
ity of spontanei,y that does not presul~
pose either Il capacity or ii call.
There is no mystery about the craft.
One RESOLVES To write a book, as he
might to take a journey or to practice
on the piano, and the thing is done.
Every body can write. at least every
body does write. 1t is wonderful
time for literature. The Queen Of En-
gland write. for II, the Queen Of kou-
mania writes for it. the Shah Of Persia
wrote for il, Lady Brassey, the yachts
woman. wrote for it, Congressman
write for it. Peers write for it. The
novel is the common recreation Of
ladies Of rank, and where is the young
woman in this country who has no,
tried her hand at "A romance or made !;
cas-, nj a popular magazine? The cf
feet of all this upon literature is ex
parsive and joyous. Superstition
about mystery in the art has nearl,
disappeared. 1t is a common obscrva
ton that if persons fail in every thin:
else, if they are fit for nothing else
they can at least write. 1t is such al
easy occupation and the remuneration
is in such disproportion to the expendi
ture! lent it indeed the golden era O

THERE is plum in the governors
message for Mine Inspector Hamill:
The troubles Of few years ago in the min
ing region of this State have ceased to exist
\ : : The yield from the Georges Creek
coal field this year will be in round numbers
100000 tons. This is in excess of the pro-
duction of any former year by 327 900 tons.
1t means an outlay for labor and transpOrta-
ton within the State of 81 900, 900 and return
Of over 5000 to each miner. No other coal
field in the country can make such a showing
believe the labor of Mr.. c. H. Hamill mlne
Inspector has been constant in the cultivation
of friendly relations aud mutual concessions
between the companies and employees, and it
is proper that | should make this statement
as testimonial to his faithful services. In
this state of affairs it is to he hoped that no
new questions will arise to interfere with the
present prosperity Of the mining region.
The governor is tolerably we'll
postcd-so well that the JOURNAL is
more than half inclined to believe
that he was not Il member of the
October grand jury.

THE Cumberland Times cannot
understand why the JOURNAL does
not participate in its solicitude for
the canal after our successful cam.
paign last fall in its behalf.
And the JOURNAL cannot imagine
why the Times was speechless when
the canal was in actual danger, and
so frightened aftAr it was saved.
However, as there are none so
blind as those whose eyesight is de-
liberately defective, we have no hope
that the Times will ever be able to
see how small place it has held in
the public mind, either when by it's
silence it favored the destruction of
the canal or by its noise it plays its
part IN endeavoring to divert public
attention from the verdict of the peo-
pie against the scheme to transfer the
canal to rival Of this coal region in
West Virginia ria constitutional
convention.

situation courageously and success
fully. He has Deen assigned to pas

Brevities.- s.--The Virginia abutment
of the Potomac bridge company, an
ante bellum corporation, opposite Point
of Rocks, this State, was sold at public
auction last Saturday for $500 to J. D.
Baker, of Frederick, Md. This step is
believed to be preliminary to the re-
organization of the company and the
re-erectson of the bridge. The mat
ter is of local value because of the fact
that DR. T. J. Grahame, of this place,
and Richard Grahame, of Garrett eoun-
ty, own an important interest in the
property and collaterally in certain
valuable rights of way. If the project
TO rebuild takes substantial shape
these gentlemen will douptless profit

THAT is a massive tribute to the
efficiency of our public school system
by the Cumberland 1imeS-that "the
schoolboy knows--Paris is France"
etc. That particular schoolboy at

become u Cumberland editor, of
whom there is surplus in the
treasury of Allegany county pre-
tensions.
