IT would be well for the worl1ingmen
to consider. before they lend themselves
to the free coinage of cheap silver policy,
as two parties are now asking them to do,
to consider if the adoption of such a
policy viii affect wage-earners. Is it or
is it not true that when the Government
permits the owner Of so cents worth of
silver bullion to take it to the mint and
have it turned out as a 100-cent dollar,
that commodities necessary to life will
rise in price? That is the question every
wage-earner and consumer must ask
himself. Is it possible to give so cents of
value 100 cents of legal purchasing power,
and not change the price relations of
goods for sale? Under such policy the
article to-day worth so cents in silver
would by natural drift become worth the
supposed 100 cents in the dollar made out
of the so cents of silver. The effect on the
workingman's wages must, in the long
run be the same. a man working for 81
a day would be paid in silver worth so
cents, or 81 90 of real value, which would
| represent the true purchasing power OF
his days labor.

AN Oakland court has punished Juror
by imposition of heavy fine. The man
agreed to q verdict of guilty, but on a
motion for a new trial, by affidavit he
testified that he believed the defendant to
be innocent, and had concurred in the
verdict only because he did not wish 70
be kept away from his business any
longer. Of course the court was right !;
Of course the man deserves to be pun
ished for perjury, if it were possible to do
II, but we all know that this is but dis
covered case among very many that arc
buried in secresy. There is no question
but that jurors frequently yield and sign
verdicts that they believe TO be wrong,
for the mere purpose of being released
from jury confinement. Assuming this
10 be true, the question arises, does it
conserve the interests ofjustice, does it
pay to lock up a jury for considerable
length of time in order to coerce the
jurors into agreement? Which is better,
TO secure the independence of the juror
and submit to disagreement, or TO force
concurrence by long confinement at the
risk of having an untrue verdict? The
remedy in large part for the evil in
volved is the majority verdict, and which
obtains in some parts. 1t has never
seemed to as that the unanimous verdict
is an essential of justice, or that it more
conserves the interests of society, than
that which is rendered by one-half, or
two.thirds of the panel.

Cowardice of the American Press" 1t is
arraigned for all crime, wrong and in
justice, and at its door is laid all sins of
mankind. We are told that it lacks in
dependence, truth, and honor that it is
not an exponent of public thought, but a
blatant camp follower; it is not a leader
in progress, but is the weight that holds
down the safety valve of society, while
the furnace fires rage hotter and hotter;
it is the brake on the wheels of progress,
strait-jacket on society, preventing its
expansion. It's false in its conservatism,
venal in its politics, and it courts the
popular rather than the right side. 1t
would have clamored for the crucifxion
of Christ, and the Imprisonment of Cali
leo; it is ludicrous in its abiding faith in
its own puissance; its opinions are not
honest; it is the seat of envy, the home of
prejudice and the abiding place Of time
serving. This, in brief, presents the
heads upon which Brann enIarges, and
We sAFo IIiSIl DIS illustrating inc lfuIu
that in vituperation there is no strength.
Brann forgets, or ignores the truth, that
the press reflects the people who support
it; 1t is the fair representative Of the civil
ization of the period: it is neither better
nor worse than its environment. Since
the world is full of goodness, charity,
fair speaking and human tenderness and
helpfulness, SO, too, is the press, else it
could not exist among a justice-loving
people. The IcOnOcIdst may rail to its
limit. but the press viii continue to be
the exponent Of public opinion, and with
all its errors and evils, will remain the
best means Of the age for intoxicating a
love of spreading the truth and conserv-
ing the desire for knowledge. Mr.. Brann
has to admit that there is hope for the
American press, and though he holds it
to be now all that is damnabIe, he finds
| in its history elements that indicate a
future, cleanly, elevated and refining.
How, out Of so much foulness, such good
is to come, he does not explain. Brann is
either insane or his observation is narrow
and his thinking runs in a rut that is full
| of envy and uncharitableness.

II now turns out that the true reason
for the seizure of the steamer City of
Panama was because of Captain Whites
refusal to deliver to the San Salvador
officials certain political refugees upon
his ship. The ruling in the case will be
very nearly parallel with that in the Bar
rundia affair. The American flag pro-
tected the refugees, and Captain Whites
position Will be maintained. But, un-
fortunately for the owners Of the steamer
line, San Salvador may cripple their
franchise and, by granting subsidies to
German lines, take harsh revenge upon
the American line. The Washington au-
thorities appear to have acted with
promptitude in the case Of the City of
Panama, and the protest of the United
States against the seizure has already
been entered. through Minister Pachecos s
agency. Whether the Salvadorian au-
thorities released the steamer on the pro-
test being filed, Or whether Captain White
sailed despite the seizure, we are not yet
advised but that he has started up coast
is certain, and that the Salvador officials
have no naval force with which to pre-
vent his departure is well known.

THE Philadelphia Record asks the New
York Recorder, which has taken it TO
task for advocating reciprocity without
the Latin American States'' handicap: {:
If reciprocity means "better wages for the
mechanic, better prices for the farmer, greater
security for capital" why should 1t be con-
fined 10 regions with which this country has
and Is likely to have in the future extremely
small trade? Why exult over reciprocity with
san Domingo and Guatemala, and insist upon
maintaining the highest tariff barriers against
reciprocal trade with Canada? Do not even
the organists of Mckinleyism blush some
times with conscious embarrassment when
lauding the beauty and excellence OF COM
nercial freedom, and in the same breath
boasting of the system which shackieS the
country's foreign trade?
That is to say, we do not buy our boots
or breeches from a or B or for senti-
mental reasons; we do not choose our
roast or outlet at shop out of sentiment,
but because the shopkeeper pleases us by
his goods or prices, or both, and makes
it to our advantage to trade with him.
