CLEVELAND AND FREE COINAGE.

From the Chicago Tribune
Why does not Mr.. Cleveland, instead
Of backing and filling on the free coinage
question and disgusting everybody by
his display of cowardice, come out and
state his position frankly? Why does
not he place himself on safe ground by
saying. Il am in favor of the free coin
age of silver, each dollar to have enough
of the white metal to make it worth as
much as a gold dollar. ] am for a silver
dollar with 495 grains Of silver in it in
stead of 311t, the people TO have Just as
many of them as they want"
No eastern Democrats could find fault
with that position. They would admit
its honesty. and the stumptail silveriles
would either have to accept it or own
up that what they wanted was free coin
age of light weight dollars to be used for
the dishonest purpose of cheating cred
itors. And the minute the "stumptail-
ers' owned up that their free coinage
meant only cheating and confiscation
most of their power for mischief would
be gone, for the people are honest at
heart and will not favor a swinding de-
vice when they know it so be such.
Were Mr.. Cleveland to take this stand
!lt W pbii pCtupF tIts position MY Diane
did IN 1873, when silver was remonetized.
He was in favor of the double standard
and the coinage of silver legal tender
dollars. but he wanted each of them to
have bullion enough in it to be equal in
value to gold dollar Al that time the
difference between the two coins was
only about IS or l. cents, while it is %
now. Many felt on this subject as Mr..
Blaine did, but they hoped that Eng
land and the nations of Europe could be
persuaded to abandon gold monometan-
ism and adopt bimetallism. so that the
result would be that silver could be lifted
TO parity with gold They were dis
appointed. The various international
monetary conferences which have been
held were fruitless, and gold and silver
are farther apart than ever
False pride should not keep Mr.. Cleve-
land from following in Mr.. Blaiue's foot
steps. He cannot find a safer teacher.
SO let him drop this business of saying
one thing one day and something that
stultifies in the next, and come out fiat
footed for the free coinage of silver
dollars. each Of which shall contain a
gold dollars worth of silver. On that
position he would lie upaSsaiIable in his
own party.

UNIVERSAL BENEFACTORs.

From the Troy Chief
The Kansas Farmer. criticising Presi-
dent Harrison's excellent and sensible
letter 10 the Kansas City Calamity
Jamboree, says:
The farmer who claims a good living.
and insists upon having profit for his
work, should, the president thinks. be
willing TO conCede the same to every
other man and woman who tolls. All
this is very pretty on the part of the
president, and nobody will take issue
with him at all. but the singular part of
it is that the president seems 10 imagine
that the farmers are asking something
for themselves which they do not
concede 10 others. when precisely the
reverse of this il true. What the
farmers asks Is justice 10 all men.
Here Is something new learned this
day, We presume that when the above
named paper speaks of the farmers. it
means the farmers as organized into the
Alliance, and holding TO the measures
adopted by it. Ii there is anything in
that organization that is not utterly
selfish, and exclusively FOR the benefit of
one class. and against all other classes.
we have faIIed 10 discover 1t. People of
every other class almost rejoice when
the farmers are prosperous, for they are
the foundation of ali prosperity; but the
farmers themselves. as represented bv
the Alliance, do not rcciprocate the
good wishes. Let Us see VIII they ask
for themselves and concede 10 Others.
They asked for the abolition Of the
tariff, so that they shall not be taxed 10
foster eastern manufacturing industries.
That accomplished. the American manu-
facturer would be placed in competition
with the European manufacturer. and
could exist only by reducing the wages
of his operatives To the European stand
ard, which is in most cases less than one
half what the American Iaborer receives.
Here the member of the Farmers ALI
ance demands that goods shall be cheap
ened TO him at the expense of the factory
laborer.

legislature attempted TO pass. law cut

the American Civil war; and with the
advent Of such prices the many millions
of people employed or supported on the
farms of the United States,
now buying so little of the
products Of the shop, mill and factory,
will have the means of increasing their
purchases MANIFOLD, wing business of
all kinds an impetus not known since the
close OF such period of high prices, and
cause an activity in the exchange Of pro-
ducts the younger half OF the business
community has little conception OF. This
may be considered an optimistic view.
but it will be the natural sequence OF
converting a great and impoverished
rural population into one having ample
means to minister 20 their comfort, ana
an abundance to spare for the gratitica-
ton OF such higher needs and longingS
as are the common heritage OF the race.
NO account is taken Ia Mr.. Davis arti-
Gle of the important fact that the full
producing quality of the area already
under cultivation has by no means been
realized. This factor in the problem
would tend TO diminish the force Of his
conclusion. He leaves out OF the prob
lem, merely referring TO them incident
ally, the arid acres which may be brought
into cultivation by irrigation. The arid
region will not be an element in the dis
cusslon during the remainder OF the
century, but viii increase the wheat area
by a significant addition in time.
