THE radical Republicans, who ad-
vocate the 'iron hand" policy. are
chagrinned to find that there will be
such detection among the more con-
servative men Of their own ranks as to
greatly risk the passage of the Federal
election law, and other high-handed
measures which they have concocted
for the domination of the South. A
caucus was held at the residence OF
Senator Edmunds last week, with the
result that the radicals are greatly dis
couraged. A Republican Senator from
q Northwestern State, which gave
Harrison more than fifteen thousand
majority, and who attended the caucus
at Senator Edmunds's house, after
wards said to reporter: Il for one
am unalterably opposed to any sort oi
federal election law, and / think the
people of my State indorse my senti-
ments. If We cannot get repu blican
majority in Congress without stirring
up dead issues aud applying the rod to
the people Of the South then We should
be content to pass into minority.
The people of the South should not
be further harrassed by the party in
power, but should be left to work out
their own salvation. | believe that the
best sentiment of the Northern people
is in accordance with these views"

they were caught by an injudicious or
unjust contraction of the inflated war

inquiry naturally follows, could not
some means less dangerous to the gen.
eral interests of the country than in
flation, be adopted for the accomplish.

If there was another imitation BY

as the inflated balloon must ultimately
expend its gas and come back, by the

1t would be more natural, then, while
asking the Government to release the
victims who were caught in the trap OF
an injudicious contraction, not to sci
the trap again by another unnecessary
imitation; but rather to adopt some
means by which the present victims
can be released, without making y
snare which will most certainly i'm.
pale another unwary or unfortu

Sectional Animosity Dying Out.

The recent effort of the partisan Repub-
1ican press of the North to wave the bloody
shirt, and make partisan capital out of the
ceremonies at Richmond at the unveiling
Of the Lee monument, has demonstrated
that, though the Republican party is still
relying on sectional animosity as its chief
stock in trade. the mass,s of tue northern
people are tired of this cowardly business.
The following timely rebuke from the
Philadelphia Ledger, Republican paper
voices the sentiments of the more cons .rva-
tive Republicans OF the North:
"Although Richmond was crowded
Thursday with ex-Confederste soldiers,
c.rrying their old battle flags, marching to
the music of the old rebel war songs and
cheering their old commanders who had
gathered to do honor To their old chief.
tian, General Robert Z. Lee, it is doubtful
whether there was more OF patriotic feel
ing any " here that day than there was in
Richmond, Va. As man and q soldier
General Lee could not but inspire the re-
spect aud admiration of friend and foe.

the South should desire TO honor his mem.
ory. IL is natural, also, that in doing 81
they should bring out the relics of u great
war and fight their battles over again ii
imsginalios. But quarter of century
has passed since the war closed; the most
stubborn have been convinced by the 10
creased prosperity OF the South and the
growth of fraternal feelings with the
North, that they were mistaken as to the
purposes and effects of the war, and there
Is good reason to believe that in the en-
tire South not even q corporsfs guard
could now be mustered OF men who are
not glad that the Union was preserved and
who are not patriotically ready To defend
it. While North and South there is this
general unity on essentials, it would be
,als to ssk that shs old soidiers Of tho
South should give up or suppress their
devotion to their commanders, and espec
tally to such a man AS General Robert Z
Lee"

The House of Representative on
Monday passed the Republican "sub-
stitute" for the silver free coinage bill
by almost strict party vote. Only
one Democrat voted with them, the
solid strength of the Democrats going
in opposition to the substitute ard in
favor If the free coinage bill, as orig.
inally introduced. 1t was a Republi.
can Congress that in 1873 demonetized
silver and thereby gave an unnecessary
contraction to the volume of circulat.
ing money; and all that has been
since done in the line of fremonetization
has been done by the Democratic party.
In now defeating the bill, which aims
at the full reconciliation of silver, in
the face of the strong popular demand
for its passage, the Republicans have
given an additional and more empha-
tic endorsement of their policy at that
time.

Senator carlisle on the Agricultural
Sub-Treasury Plan.

In letter to Mr.. b. +. Howard. Of Tuske
gee, Alabama, a member of The Farmers
Alliance, on the bill before Congress to
provide q system Of government ware,
houses for farm produce throughout the
country, Senator Carlisle discusses the
matter in his usual luminous manner, aad
like Mr.. Mills, announces his opposition
to the plan as impracticable aud full ol
danger Tor the farming interest. The plan,
in briei, is to have the government apPro.
pirate some $50,000,000 To build ware
houses for the storage OF wheat, corn. oats
and cotton in every county in the Union
that PRODUCES and sells annually over
$500. 900 worth Of these articles. The man
ager of each Of these warehouses is to be
elected by the people of the district be is
to serve. and his duty will lie to advance
in legaltsnder notes so per cent of the
value OF the crops deposited with him by
farmers. The depositors of produce will
pay per cent. per aanum 10 interes. on
the money received and other charges for
handling. &c. No produce is to be re-
tanned In storage longer than one year.
Mr.. Carlisle points out the injury the
scheme would work to farmers themselves.
In the first place, very few counties pro-
duce aud sell $500,000 worth Of wheat,
corn, oats and cotton annually. SO that not
one third Of the total number Of farmers
would get the benefits, il any, Of the plan,
while all would be taxed more heavily to
pay the expense. The poor counties would
pay to the rich and productive ones.
Only farmers heavily in debt would GO to
the trouble and expense of bauling their
products to government warehouses when
they have barns and granaries at home.
Being in that position few Of the deposi-
tors would be able to raise the money to
redeem the products by returning the
money, with interest, and paying the
warehouse charges. What must be the
result The insolvent farmer would lose
the remaining 20 per cent. of the value of
his crop, or sell his warehouse receipt for
what 1t would bring. If he should not sell
his warehouse receipt to some one who
would redeem the grain, the latter would
be sold by the government at auction. In
any case the speculator would enjoy
golden opportunities. He would have bis
agents everywhere buying the warehouse
receipts of their embarrassed owners at
low rates. Evidently there would be in
creased facilities for cornering the market
and depressing the poor. Spectators
would have exact information from the
government reports Of the quantities OF
products on deposit Having bought the
farmers titles to it for song. they would
plunder the public with increased ease.
The annual expansion and contraction of
the currency involved 10 the plan would
destroy the market upon which the farmer
relies for the sale OF his crops. The fund

The Chicago Tribune speaks from the

shows conclusively that the exclusion
of agricultural products effected by
