NOT A NEW THING.

A mistaken idea prevails that the free
coinage of silver is a new and untried
thing. There is nothing more mistaken
or untrue. Free coinage OF silver in this
country was an existing fact from the
establishment Of the mint, in 1892, down
to 1873, not a great while ago, and yet it
seems to have been forgotten. So, you
see. all that we ask is to go back to first
principles. No novel, wild, untried, WIS.,
ionary project. Nothing Of the kind.
The people who cultivate and circulate
this delusion have missed the mark by 3
large majority. For eighty years free
coinage has proved its legitimacy and
s~oundness. Surely it has the first right
the right of possession. And so, as
against gold, it has the right of eminent
domain. If either must have the cold
shoulder gold should be selected for this
purpose. Free coinage is not such a ter
rible thing, then, after all. The outory
raised against it is unauthorized by the
facts in the case. 1t is purely mythical
and speculative. Worse than cheap dol
lars, it is cheap argument supplied fol
this purpose, because there is n~otainG
better. In short, it has no solid founda
ton and is good for nothing.-Nationa

1t is a common thing for some preach
ers to make ga few remarks in the form
of prayer" but Rev. Mr.. Stevenson, Of
Waterloo, Iowa, seems to have beaten
the record on Sunday, when he assaulted

ing the Lord for the action of Governor
Merriam Of Minnesota in preventing the

prayed for strength for the Governor Of

les; after which he said, alphabetically
"But this may be politics, and, 0 Lord,
if thou dost not know anything about
politics, and if we are not to pray for
politics, make the politicians pray them
selves" Naturally enough this gag
brought down the house, and the ap.
plause Of the more devout brethren was
long and loud. Probably Mr.. Stevenson
will take the stump for the Republican
party this Fall. Chicago Herald.

DIVORCE AND REmARRIAsE.

An interesting point in the law of di-
vorce has been decided by the Supreme
Court OF Vermont. A married couple
we're divorced in Massachusetts, and the
defendant in the suit remarked in Yer.
mont. Both the law of Massachusetts,
and that Of Vermont forbids q divorced
defendant to marry again. The Court
holds that the prohibition does not apply
to the defendant in this case. The Mas.
sachusetts statute, il says, does not ap.
ply because the second marriage did not
take place in that State. The Vermont
statute has no bearing for the reason that
the divorce was not obtained there.
There is a strong popular sentiment tina.
to prohibit a divorced person from mar
rying again is contrary to public policy
and morality. The courts seem inclined
to take the same view Of it. For exam.
pie, the prohibition in the State OF New
York has been practically annulled by
decisions holding that any person may
escape its operation by simply going to
New Jersey, Connecticut or any other
| State to get married.

FREE TRADE nv TIE ADMINS
TRATkON.

When the Democrats urge . reduction
Of tariff taxes, no matter how small, they
are called free traders by their Republic
can opponents. The latter, however.
with shameless Inconsistency can con-
summate an absolute free trade deal with
foreign power and nothing is thought Of
IL, or said Of IL, except in the nature OF
approval. The new reciprocal treaty
with Spain and the Spanish colonies,
which has Just been concluded and Off
cially promulgated by President Hsrri.
son stops little short Of complete free
trade between those countries and the
United States. The dicker was made in
pursuance Of Me-. Blaine's policy Of recip-
rocity, which lie but another name for
free trade. Under that doctrine ID is pro-
posed to "swsp" commodities without
tariffs with all foreign nations who viii
"swsp" on an even keel with rs. We
are not arguing against the beneicence
of the doctrine in certain cases where the
conditions may be right, but we do ssssil
the want Of candor and fair play in the
Republican position. The noble ingre.
dent Of honesty fails to inhere in il. but
instead we have the tricks and shams Of
mere words. II reciprocity is free trade,
which il is manifestly. why not be honest
about it and call il free trade! Deceit
in 3 great political party is far more des.
picable than in an individual.
We have no doubt that our CONNER
cial advantages will be greatly improved,
especially with Cuba and Porto Rico, by
the new treaty. Hitherto we have been
buying Of Cuban products, chiefly Of SUI
gar and molasses and tobacco and cigars,
about $50, 900, 900 worth annually, and
selling her Of American products about
sll, 900, 900, leaving a balance against Us
Of approximately $40. 900, 600, II by the
new arrangement we can increase our
sales and thus reduce this o N bal.
ance, msnifestly the United States will
be c~orrespondingly benefited. 1t is be-
lieved that we can at least square ao-
counts, and by SO doing keep our s40,-
900, 900 at home. II this can be done in
the case Of Cuba why not apply the same
doctrine in other lines Of goodsssnd pro.
ducts to other countries . 1t would seem
that if reciprocity is 3 good thing we
cannot well have too much Of it. But
there is one good thing growing out of
all this agitation. The more the cobwebs
of sophistry are swept away the less the
people are frightened about efforts to re-
form our tariff system.

STATES rHE QUESTION.

Governor Boies of Iowa, in his letter
Of acceptance Of q denomination, states
the question like a statesman. He says:
In the infancy Of this Republic it was
enacted by those who established it that
gold and silver should enjoy equal and
unrestricted rights in the coinage of our
mints. After q lapse Of more than eighty
years, during all of which the two metals
were accorded precisely the same privi-
leees in the monetary system of our Gov
eminent, at the time when our people
were burdened with enormous national
municipal and individual debts, by an
Act that was never demanded by the
masses and that was thrust upon them
without any intelligent discussion OF its
merits, silver was deprived Of its coinage
rights.
An aroused people have compelled par
tial restoration of the rights of this metal
but il is still hampered by statutory pro
visions made in the interest of the credi-
tor at the expense of the debtor classes
The Democracy Of Iowa has demanded
that silver shall be restored to its ancient
estate under the laws Of the nation. Il
on account Of changed conditions. as somt
believe, the effect Of this will be to re-
duce metallic currency 10 a silver stan
dard alone, or otherwise i%njure the BUSH
ness interests Of the country. the people
can be safely trusted to devise som'
means of maintaining the two metals Ii
the relative positions assigned them BY
| the founders Of our Government.

AID YOlR TOWN.

The first duty of every good citi-
zen, says the Greensboro Herali-
Journal, is to aid in building up
the town in which he has drawn
and still draws his wealth, or living.
ln'the first place, patriotic motives
should inspire one to do all he can
for the communityein which he
lives. He should be proud of his
place Of residence, and there can be
no pride unless the town ranks with
the best. 1t can never so rank UNI
less every citizen uses his utmost
endeavors to build it up and attract
to it that population and capital
necessary to prosperity.
But how few men in smaller
towns consider this obligation which
devolves upon them as good citizens.
They refuse to see the advantages
which lie at their own doors, and
which energy and capital could
make profitable to them, and will
not aid in home development. The
money which they have made from
the towns they live in they will not
invest in building up the home COM
munity, but let so-called boom be
inagurated in distant place, and
they are eager to send of their
money, risk it in speculation and
build up a section connected with
no ties whatever, save those which
spring from the teverish hope Of
making money rapidly. They will
not see that this same energy and
this same capital expended among
their own people would bring equal
if not better results in their own
communities.
These men are inconsistent to a
degree. They will criticise the
short>sightedness Of the farmer
when he sends his money abroad for
provisions and supplies. They will
declare that he is bankrupting the
country, that the money he sends
off is gone forever, that permanent
prosperity will never come until
there be a radical change. What is
his own position? Is he not guilty
of even greater wrong..to his com.
munity than the farmer? Is he rot
sending off money to build up other
sections, while his own town Ian
cuisines and dies? How can he
consistently advise others, while he
is pursuing the same course? If he
should set the example, invest his
money at home, build up his town,
give his energy to home develop
ment, how quick would the farmer
and his fellow citizens be inspired
with that love Of home, that enthu-
siasm as to its future WHICH is
building UP various villages.
