There isn't much consolation in the
firm stand taken and solid front pre-
sented by the Kansas representatives on
the silver question when that measure
came up for final action in the house.
If they had done so at the first, at the
time when it called for nerve and judy
ment their stand would have amounted
to sOmething-would have settled the
question in favor of their constituencies
and of the masses, instead of giving the
advantage to the money bags, as resulted
from the policy that was pursued. 1t
was too late after that first opportunity
was passed: their subsequent rally was
like closing the barn door after the horse
is stolen. 1t is too bad

4 few days ago allusion was made in
these columns to the paramount import
ance of the leading economic questions of
the immediate present as compared to
questions of party expediency and pure
ly political effect. The Kansas City Ga
zette quotes what we said and adds this
in the same line:
Only yesterday we heard a Republican
business man talk about reciprocity, and
he remarked that politics or 10 politics
the business men of this country must
have more trade. He said that if political
monkeying and hide-bound notions of tar
if interfered much longer the business
men would take hold themselves. Other
nations branch out all over the earth,
but the~United States seems to be determ-
ined TO wall in. There is not enough here
for us now. Blaine has struck the key

and free trade when and where it is best"

The Leavenworth Times rises in its
place and demands the immediate
passage of the Wilson bin by congress,
and declares that its involvings are of
greater importance to the country at
large than any measure now before con-
gress, the silver and tariff measures not
excepted. The question involved is, in
deed, a most mOmentous one. But how
congress can afford the desired relief in
the shape that seems to be demanded by
the eXigencies Of the present situation
without multiplying the fundamental
principles of the majority party in that
body we confess our inability to con
ceive. Our guess still is that the bill
will not pass, at least not in form to be
OF any practical benefit.

A few seconds after the sea for hun
dred yards around was blown bodily into

would mean the utter annihilation of a
