IN. H." (MURAr HALsrEAD), in speaking
of the silver plank in the Ohio Democratic
platform, says:
"There was struggle TO prevent the commits
sion of this folly by tho Ohio Democrats, but IL
was oyerraled. Those who attempted 70 eyade
tho rugged issue were beaten, and the simple
abrupt demand for the equally free coinage OF
silver with gold was made In terms that admit OF
no honest demonstration"
True for you. The Ohio Democrats used
language which admits Of mo honest mis-
construction" when they declared for the
FREQ coinage of silver. We would not have
had them do otherwise. Let us either be
silvsrites or not. II we believe in BIZ
metallism let US say 60 in unmistakable
terms.

Mr.. CLEVELAND was yesterday given
handsome reception by his Massachusetts
friends, and in response to the toast Our
Neighb made an agreeable speech
which was without political bias or signif-
cameo Governor KussELL, however, who
followed him, gave utterance to sentl-
ments which were equivalent to endorsing
the Presidents views relative TO the
free coinage Of silver.

Ihave heard bells Ginning
Full many a cline In
Tolling sublime In
Cathedral shrine
While at gliD-rate
Brass tongues would viSrato
But all their music
Spoke naught like thine;
For memory dwelling
On each proud swelling
OF thy belfry kneliing
It's bold notes free,
Made the Bells OF Shandon
Sound far more grand on
The pleasant waters
OF the River Lee.
I've heard bells tolling
Old Arians mole In
Their thunder rolling
From tho Vatican,
And cymbals glorious
Swinging uproarious
In the gorgeous turreo
OF Notre Dame.
But thy sounds were sweeter
Than the dome Of Peter

WHAT Is A NEW INDUSTRY?

WHAT IS NEW INDUSTRY!
The question as to what constitutes
new industry is one that committee OF

ton for period of ten years what are term
ed new industries III order TO encourage
the establishment Of new plants. But
some difference Of opinion seems to have
arisen as to what properly constitutes
new industry, some or the city fathers
holding that it means plant entirely new
and distinct from any industry now Ia
onerat,on. and that otherwise the exemp-
ton from taxation should not be granted.

The cash we send 70 Brazil is going

The cash we send TO Brazil is going
to England for more and cheaper
cottons more and cheaper farm
machinery; moro and cheaper goods
Of all kinds. Under the impetus of
this trade. Brazilian crops move out
rapidly, and as the surplus Of manu-
featured goods England would send
here TO move our crops but for the pro-
hibitivc tariff on trade now goes in in
creased quantities to Brazil, their
price Is cheapened for Brazilians and
IL is harder for our manufacturers to
compete with England in that
market.
BY our high tariff laws we prohibit
England from moving our crop sur
plus with its merchandise, except to
an extent that is as limited as high
taxation can make it. So England
ships more to Brazil, and the Brazil
ian crops are moved faster, the Brazil
ian farmer getting higher prices and
cheaper goods.
This is no mere accident. 1t could
not be otherwise. The agricultural
states of the west and south are cut
off from their European markets.
European countries cannot pay cash
for our agricultural surplus, and
every tax increasing the price and de-
creasing the quantity of what they do
pay, decreasing the price of our crops
and the quantity of our crop exports.
In the same measure in which the
Mckinley bill increases Brazilian
trade with England, 1t takes from our
western and southern trade. Brazil
ian farmers are getting at lower
prices than ever the goods shut out
from our western and southern farm
ers. Brazilian crops move out with
increasing rapidity, ours with decreas-
ing.
What tribute to Mckinley "pro-
tection," against trade with our farm.
ers; to Blaine reciprocity" with
everybody who has nothing to sell our
farmers, is this boom in English and
Brazilian trade-a trade into which
s50,000,000 of our money goes every
year with a continually lessening
prospect of getting any of it back
under a system which sends it IN
"lree.trade Engla Il" and refuses to
allow us reciprocity" except with
farmers whose agricultural products
compete with our own.-Congressman

The Brahmins as Bulldozers.

When Brahmin forgets his caste
he is more abominable to other Brah.
Minis than if he had been born Pariah,
as Mr.. John James Ingalls,. lately
United States Senator of the Brahmin
caste, is having excellent opportunities
to learn. Because he has had the cour-
age to tell few truths impressed on
him by his own hard experience the
Brahmins of the Northeast are de-
nouncing him more bitterly than they
would have done had he spent his whole
life in serving the people instead of the
factory lords and usurers. IF he does
not presently deny that he has learned
anything or is capable oflearning any
thing they will hate and prescribe him
worse than he ever pretended to hate
the Democratic party.
But he has said nothing except that
the agricultural states can control the
Union and that they will control it if
they are not relieved from oppressive
legislation enacted in the interests of
the money class in the northeast. A
year ago Mr.. Ingalls, himself did not
believe this. He believed the money
power omnipotent in American politics.
Now he knows that the people can
control the government when they
make up their mind to do it, and he
believes they have their minds made
up.
Why should he be called "a crank"
and other names Of the kind for this 7
1t is commonsense, and it has cost him
something to learn it--not as much,
however. as it will cost his party if it
goes on refusing to leaxn it.
From the standpoint Of the North.
eastern Brahmin, every man who
speaks in the name Of the people Of
the west is "a crank" All western
demands for justice are symptoms Of
"a crase.' The western man who
