ON SILVER.

Senator WoLCoTT's speech at the
mining congress yesterday will attract
attention and excite comment because
of the direct attack he makes on the
president for his views about the silver
question. 1t is really noteworthy, how
ever, from another standpoint. Moth
ing contributes more richly to the pub
lie enlightenment on contemporary is
sues than the logical presentation Of
their advocates opinions. If the Colo
RADIO champion of free coinage has been
reported correctly he favors the silver
dollar because it Is an honest dollar, the
dollar OF the poor; and not like gold,
the dollar of the rich. He further adj
vances the interesting statement that if
you take - cents worth of silver to
England you can sell it for a dollar pro-
vided the goddess of liberty has been
properly stamped on the one side
and the national turkey buzzaId
on the other. There ought to be gen
eral rejoicing over these revelations
People have supposed that the bonanza
kings of the silver belt were so feverish
in their affection for free coinage be-
cause it would improve the market for
the product of their mines. This seems
to be mistake. They are really phil
anthropists. striving to help the poor.
Such an ambition will surely win many
good men to their support. Few people
have understood either that they could
get rich SO quickly as now seems to be
possible. All anybody has to do now is
to buy an ounce of silver here and take
it to Europe in order to make % per
cent instanter on his investment. Let
us hear no more about the poor. Mill
ions now await everybody who can
scare up dollar to start with.
Senator WoLCoTT's profound reason
ing has been eXcelled of late by one
man alone. and he is Mr.. FOSTER, secre-
tary of the treasury. Mr.. FOSTER has
been writing many letters and making
many speeches, and he is sure that
there is no danger in the SHERMAN law.
He feels no misgivngs at all about til e
ability of the government to maintain
silver and gold at parity forever under
the present system. He has faith"
equal to the removal of mountains, but
he is equipped to show its basis. Silver
uitO 9OA0 Nctl NC az panty
under the present law, he says, because
the law provides that they shall be.
This Is simply sublime. So great is his
patriotism that he believes even the laws
of nature will yield to acts of congress
regularly passed. A correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune points out that
when similar piece of buncombe
was inserted in the Kansas-Ne-
braska law, Col. BENTON termed it "a
stump speech injected into the belly of
the bill" The SHERMAN law, after
providing for a currency which violates
every principle of sound finance, de-
cIares that it is the settled policy of the
United States to keep the two great
metals on a parity 1t would be bias
phemous after Mr.. Fosters express
sions of religious confidence in its
efficacy to term this declaration "a
stump speech injected into the belly of
the BILL" 1t Is unbeceming public
newspaper to do more than circulate
without criticism the wisdom which
falls from the lips of learned popular
teachers like Mr.. WoLCOTT and Mr..
| FOSTER.

DUTY ON HIDES.

For more than twenty years there
have been free hides. The manufacture
erS of Massachusetts made the fight on
that line and secured the concession.
There is now apprehension in that state
that the fight will have to be made over
again. A leading Republican paper of
Boston. in some trepidation, says that
there are indications that the duty on
hides may become an issue, especially
In Massachusetts politics. Disbelief is
expressed that the administration will
take its revenge on the state for its
political alteration on the line unOf-
ficlally intimated by Secetary RUSK
1t is rather feared that an effort will be
made to gain strength among the cattle
Interests of the West, at the expense of
the great Massachusetts industry. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. RUsK has
this recommendation in his recent re-
port:
The large quantities of hides which are be-
ing shipped to the United States from for
eign countries. and are admitted free of duty,
have caused Il great depreciation iii the
prices realized for hides of domestic produc-
ton. This has had marked tendency
and has consequently added TO the burdens
OF our agricultural population. l would
therefore most earnestly recommendthat
the duty provided for in section of IAN
act to reduce the revenue and equalize du-
ties on imports and for other purposes zap
proved Oct. l. l590) be imposed i'll all cases
where the countries from which such hides
are shipped have not granted equal conces-
slons in regard to the admission of the agri-
cultural products Of the United States.
The countries referred to are among
the chief shippers of hides to this coun-
TRY. There is no reciprocity deal with
he Argentine Republic or Uruguay,
and not likely to be soon. If the presi-
dent avails himself of his opportunity,
he Will place duty of one and half
cents per pound on all kinds of hides
from those countries, to take effect the
first of the coming anuary.

exceeded the amounts received.
This is shameful expose of blotches
upon the smoothly polished escutcheon
of protection. With the steady growth
of our cOuntry's commerce this evil
must, necessarily, increase. The strong
er we become, financially, the greater
our commercial qualifications, the heav-
Ter becomes the MCKINLEY handicap.
Even young business men can remem-
Der when customs fraud was like vice,
monster of most dreadful mein.
Young men of the present generation
can see that the same monster is now
endured, yea. pitied and embraced by
importers high in the ranks of our coun-
try's leading commercialists. True re-
form in this direction can only obtain
by the supremacy of Democratic princi-
pies. A lugubrious portion of Mr.
TINGLE'S report is plaintive wall over
the sure decay of American commerce.
And why should it not decay under
such maladministration aud restrictive

LOTTERY LINKS.

New York is not fighting the LO uisi-
ana Lottery company with its own
weapons. That is to say, we are not fir
ing hlankS.-New York Advertiser.
The latest illustration of the local
power of the Louisiana lottery is its cor
ruptiOn and capture of the Democratic
primaries in New Orleans, resulting in
the election of 139 lottery-favoring dele
gates TO the state cOnvention.-New
York Advertiser.
There is imminent danger of the tri-
umph of the lottery ring in Louisiana.
Every newspaper that cares for honesty,
morality and the general welfare should
do all i'll its power to aid the good peo-
pie of the Pelican state in their Strug-
gle against the octopus. New York Re-
corder.
The state of Louisiana is confronted
with heart-breaking dilemma. 1t must
apparently choose between Republican
ism and lotteryism. After the carpet
bag experience, the people of that state
naturally shrink from a return to the
party OF plumber, but it is perhaps bet
ter to tolerate that party for four years
II they can thereby save themselves
from the lottery as a permanent institu-
tion.-St: Louis Post-Dispatch.
In our local columns will be found the
shameful story of the purchase of the
city of New Orleans by the gamblers.
10 this, and to nothing else. can be at
tributed the result of the election held
in this city yesterday. Money did it,
Money placed in the lottery column the
vote of New Orleans and rendered nu-
gatOry the efforts of those of her citi-
zens who had regard for her good name,
to preserve that good name in the eyes
of the world.-New Orleans New Delta.
An amendment to the United States
constitution forbiddipg lotteries will do
it, and such an amendment might as we'll
be passed, whether the Louisiana lot
terry succeeds or fails in securing Il re-
newal of its charter from Louisiana. If
it should fail there, it would show it's
head elsewhere, as it did in North Da-
kota and Indian Territory. ANY state
given over to loose morality or the DO
litical control of bad men would attract
the lottery. We must guard against
any possible renewal of its evil work,
and we can do 1t by constitutional
amendment. Springfield Mass Union.

A PAIR OF PUGs.

In response to Suliivan's challenge to
fight. Slavin, the cable tells us, is main
tanning "a dignified silence" This is
new name for it.--New York Recorder.
John L. Sullivan has taken to writing
poetry. 1t is wonder that when John
l.. first struck the tuneful Tyre he didn't
smash it TO smithereenS.-St. Louis
Star-Sayings.
John L. Sullivan says that he is will
ing to fight again. Surely this man has
infested placid world too long. 1t is
time that he was thrashed far beyond a
desire to re-enter the riBg.-NeW York
World.
Mr.. Slayin, who intends to fight with
MIR. Sullivan next June, will spend the
intervening time in the exciting work
of currying mules IN order TO get used
to Mr.. SuIliyan's rough ways.-Milwau-
kee Sentinel.
The sport world is easily fooled. John
l.. Sullivan is in the hands Of expert ad-
vertisers. lie Will fight, he won't fight.
He is precluded from matches by his
histrionic engagements. He is this. he
is that, he is the other. After all, is he
a figbter?-Sew York Recorder.
Sullivan has evidently come to the
conclusion that slugging is more in his
line than playacting. He has issued a
sounding challenge to Siavin, and has
put up good round sum as forfeit
money. Why not have the mill at the
Republican state committees head
quarters, with Lodge and Walker as ref
erees? They are just in the mood to
witness lively set-to.-BoSton Glc5e.

THE EFFECT OF 1T.

The recommendation of Secretary
RUSK in his report that the president
exercise his authority conferred in the
MCKINLEY bill, to impose a duty on
hides, has attracted much attention.
Possibly more Importance is given to it
than it deserves on account of the init
mate personal relations Of the secretary
with the president, and the unofficial
explanation that it might be put in the
form Of retributiOn tor the political
waveringin Massachusetts. Hides have
been on the free list since 1873. prior to
that the duty being 10 per cent ad
valorem. Since the removal of the duty
the importationS have grown from
S14.0OO,O00 to S21, 100000, chiefly from
Argentine. The reciprocity scheme is
not likely to operate in that direction,
and in its absence the president can
impose duty of II cents per pound
Jan. l. This would be an advantage to
the great packing houses i'll the West,
and the small cattle producers and local
butchers would possibly realize a cent
pound more. AS the head OF the agri-
cultural bureau, there would be nothing
surprising in the secretary's looking out
for the interests of the farmers, even at
the expense of the manufacturers. The
price of foot wear, harness and
other leather articles would be
advanced to the farmer, but per-
maps less than he would realize
from the higher price he would get for
his few hides. The difference would
not be material to the average farmer,
but the advance in the cost of leather
would be serious matter to the New
England shOemakerS. With untaXed
raw material they have been able to go
into the markets of the world and COM
pete successfully with foreign manu-
features. The exports of leather goods
amount to S12,G00.OOO per year now.
This would be lost by restoring the
tariff. An illustration is had in wooden
manufactures. With taxed raw mate
rial the industry is embarrassed and not
able to furnish a sufficient supply even
for home consumption, without chance
to go abroad. Ten years ago the leather
products of the country reached S452,
100000, and the late census will show a
great increase. Yet the power is put in
the hands of the president to seriously
cripple this vast industry, and his cab
met adviser would have it done to pun
iSh wOrkmen for not voting for the Re.
publican party. The instance shows
THE danger and absurdity of putting
such power in the hands of the presi
dent or any man.

real, live snow storm that nobody has known
how to act during the present visitation.

WILLIAM JERMYN FLORENCE

Death has removed one more dramatic
star from an American galaxy not over
crowded with those of the first magni-
tude. WILLIAM JERNIYN FLORENCE
died last evening at PHILADELPHIA from
pneumonia contracted while filling a
most profitable engagement in company
with JOSEPH JEFFERSON. Mr.. FLOR
ENCE, as popular actor, held warm
place in the hearts of both American
and English theater-goers. He followed
no Evolutionary lines, but in everything
he did, after his first youthful flutter-
ings in tragedy, he was distinctively orig
inal. His comic genius, like that of
SOTHERN. was creative. His dramatic
lines led him into no tests of COMPARE
son with the great delineators of
SkakeSpearean characters, or even
the stately, finished comedians who
enriched the literary merit of
old English comedy. Thus, as
Bardwell Slote, IN The Mighty
Dollar" Mr.. FLORENCE was purely
American, giving us, perhaps, that ideal
which NJ. BLoUET asserts he has never
encountered - the typical American.
As Capt. Cutie, the versatility of
FLORENCE enabled him to present as
true portrait of the typical English
man moving in that class in which
Capt. Cutie would naturally be found.
'BILLY" FLORENCE was ever welcome
Oh the Western circuit. In life lie made
friends'On and off the stage, and their
friendship he invariably retained. The
Jefferson-Flor ence combination played
in this city at the Metropolitan last
winter, evoking the highest praise
from all. Their dates were such that,
bad not death turned aside his feet, he
would have been with us again at this
time. The dramatic profession has lost
brilliant ornament, an earnest worker
and sincere and generous friend.
