NOT A PARTY QUESTION.

The attempt on the part of some radical
partisans to make the free coinage issue a
political and party one, is amusing. 1t is
not party question, considering parties
as political organizations upon traditional
lines. 1t is purely and wholly an eco
nomic question. Nothing more vividly
illustrates this truth than the vain and alb
surd attempts of the Democratic party to
square itself, by itself, on this question.
Thus, we have the Democracy of Ohio de-
manding free coinage, confronted by the
letter of Mr.. Cleveland. the chief of the
Democratic chiefs, in which he shows, if
he shows anything, that free coinage
would drive gold out of use, and violently
contract the circulation to the greatest
possible injury OF the workers and pro-
ducers. That is the logic of his attitude,
unquestionably. In Georgia and the far
South, we have the Democratic organs
and exponents, such as the Atlanta Con-
Stttation, demanding unlimited coinage
as the absolute oil of JUNCTION that is to
bless the farmers and invoke showers of
beneficence, and in the same breath stig-
matizing the opponents of free coinage as
idiots and fools, or else deceivers and the
tools of capital.
AT the far East the great Democratic
lights quite as vituperatively donounce
the free coiners, and such as the Albany
Argus declare that they are desperate
and reckless men, led by mere fancy
and ignorant of the fundamentals of DO
litical economy and financial wisdom.
Only little less violently antagonized
are Republicans on this question, ALI which
goes to prove that the silver question is
not party question; it is political in the
sense that governmental enconomics enter
into it, All attempts, therefore, to make
free coinage a merely party question, and
to warp party allegiance to that mold,
SAVIOR of lunacy. While it is very desira-
bic that great parties should divide upon
clearly defined issues, and while the
safety of republican institutions depend
upon party maintenance of some order,
we submit that the silver question cannot
be lugged in to broaden the very narrow
lines of material difference by which a
close observer can distinguish Demo
cratic from Republican platform in these
days.
Men are not to be whipped into party
traces then by the free coinage lash, or
catechized concerning their party fealty
by the opponents of unlimited coinage.
We believe with Mr.. Sherman, that free
coinage will work almost irreparable
injury; that it will expel gold; that it
will reduce the purchasing power of
labor by compelling it to accept depre-
ciated money. But this belief cuts no
figure whatever in our estimate of the
real political beliefs of either of the two
great parties. They are neither of them,
as national parties, for or against unlim-
tied coinage to-day. What they may be
when they come to speak in 1892 will
then be known. They will probably
both prove cowardly and evade positive
positions concerning silver economies
and that question will be as it is to-day,
one upon which alignment of Repub-
licans and Democrats as such cannot be
made.

Nor LONG ago the Berti1lion system of
very highest achievement in the art OF
| identification of human beings 1t cer-
tainly is method superior to all others
known before it. 1t is in use in the pris-
ons of nearly all the States of civilized
| nations. and is found to answer we'll
But now comes Mr.. Francis Galton, who
declares that there is no means of identi-
fication so unerring as the simple method
of taking print of the fnger-tips, "of
the minute ridges that run across the
palms of the hands and the soles of the
feet, and it more especially resides in the
scrolls or other patterns that the ridges
form on the inner surfaces of the bulbs of
the fingers"
His article, which is illustrated with a
plate showing how fnger-prints can be
made and sorted, concludes with the
following statement of what he hopes to
see before long:
look forward to time when every con-
vlct shall have prints taken of his fingers, by
the prison photographer, at the beginning and
end OF his Imprisonment, and a register made
of them; when recruits for either service shall
go through an analogous process; when the
index-number OF the hands shall usually be
inserted in advertisements for persons who
are lost or who cannot be identified, and when
every youth who is about to leave his home
| for long residence abroad shall obtain prints
OF his fingers at the same time that the port
rait is photographed, for his friends to retain
as q memento.

THE Canadian census, Just announced.
is not comforting in its showings to the
doctors of protection, and the advocates
of the enormously expensive scheme of
settling up the Northwest provinces. 1t
is shown that in ten years the net in
crease in population has been surpris-
ingly small, though immigration has
been stimulated in every possible way by
the Dominion, and State-aided railroads
have been pushed with great energy.
From 1881 to 1891, SSG,l7l immigrants
have been brought in, many assisted
TO come, but the total increase in popula-
tion has been but 69S,534. What does it
mean? Have the immigrants simply
been birds of passage, or has there been
cessation of the birth rate? Either, on
the basis of these figures, Canadians have
emigrated more rapidly than immigrants
have come in, or else the latter did not
remain, for of course the natural increase
by births has kept up. But there was an
immigration that the statistical bureau
did not have record of, for it is shown
that. after all, there was in the decade an
increase Of Ills, but from the preceding
ten years, from 1871 to 1881, the percentage
ofincrease was I7.5. So that protection in
the manufacturing districts--the immigra-
ton going mostly to the Northwest agri-
c11ltura1 rapionS-has not as y,yaS y,ro,,,
ised, been drawing power. On the heels
of the showing that the manufacturing
provinces have not kept pace with the
decade from 1871 to 1881 we have the

The Republican nominee for Governor
of New York, Mr.. Fassett, announces
that he will conduct his campaign by the
discussion of measures only, not of men.
That is well enough as general rule;
but how about questions of fitness? Very
often the local policies of State sink far
below the importance of keeping an un-
fit and dangerous man out of office. In
sach cases it is the duty of the good citi-
zen to discuss the men.

THE Chilean provisional Government
has acted wisely in submitting promptly
to the people the question of forming the
permanent Government. The Junta will
not as it might, usurp power; the Con-
stitution will be maintained and an cleo
ton held October 18th for the selection
of President and Senators. If now this
excellent beginning is followed out faith
fully and the people given perfect lib
erty to choose, peace will settle down
over Chile and prosperity resume its
sway. If, however, the triumphant in
surgents should be led into the mistake
of attempting to dictate to the electors,
there will be second revolution in all
probability.

THE New York Commercial Bulletin,
a journal of cautious expression, believes
that very large part of the existing de-
preston in business is due to appre-
tensions regarding tho unlimited coin
age of silver. But the Bulletin holds that
these are magnified fears. In the first
place, it argues, free coinage could not
possibly come before next year late, for
such an Act cannot be passed early in a
congressional session, since there must
be committee consideration in both
houses. IF it passes both branches of
the National Legislature, it must then
encounter a Presidential veto. If it is
floored by that then comes the attempt
to override it. So that it must be many
months before possible free coinage can
be ordered. So remote an event ought
not to now much affect commercial
transactions, especially as any lender
can stipulate in his contract for specific
payment in gold" AS to other contin-
gencies the Bulletin believes there is no
reason to fear that the Government will
fail to paw gold this year. 1t would take
drain such as has never been known to
exhaust the gold in the treasury.

STARR HoYT NICHOLS, very grace
ful writer on social economies, observes
in recent paper in his own magazine
that machinery is the foe of politics-that
is, of the order of contention between
''ins'' and "outs," and to certain ex-
tent of politics relating to policies in gov
ernment. The thought is not that politi-
cal matters are of no importance, but
that they are secondary compared to in
dustry; or, as he puts it, devotion to in
dustries rapidly tends to make politics
insignificant" It certainly is true that
industrial populations concern them
selves least with the contentious for place,
and those ot-blasts of political activity
that fan campaign flames in the settle
ment of questions of place and power
So he who superintends and promotes
great industrial activity does more for
his country than he who drills the politi-
cal train bands of his community. As
Mr.. Nichols puts it, the one produces,
the other only conserves what is.

THE law officers of the San Francisco
government have decided that unless
some irregularity or fraud can be shown
in the matter of the raising of San Fran
cisco's assessment ron by the State Board
of Equalization, it will be folly to attempt
legal resistance to the order of the board.
This is probably correct advice, and it
serves to show that since the powers of
the board are grounded in the Constitu-
ton, it is essential N any reform Of them
to begin at the bottom. The fears that
were expressed in 1879 concerning the
confirment of such sweeping and arbi-
trary power by the new Constitution, it
is now seen, were not merely fanciful.
The limitation which forbids action in
individual cases, but gives the power to
raise the assessments of the innocent as
well as the guilty by an en- masse ele-
vation of assessments, are dangerous and
might be made the means of utterly un-
bearable persecution and oppression.
