tipping with perspiration.

NoTwITHsTANDING the vigilance
of the reform" editor, the truth
about prices will creep into the news
columns or market reports Of his
paper, and even into the editorial
columns, when his watchful care to
keep up the delusion as to the real
effects of the new Tariff has been
momentarily relaxed. The Free
Trade Commercial Brlletin, in an
editorial on December 20, comment
ing upon the fattering monthly re-
port of our exports, says:
"The conclusion may be fairly
drawn that, excepting in bread
stuffs, there was no advance of prices
out of harmony with the movement
of prices in other countries"
This sentence is in a direct con-
tradiction to what the editorial col
umns of the Bulletin have been
asserting ever since the passage of
the Mckinley bill.

w. A. PFEIFER, who has been
elected U. S. Senator from Kansas,
to succeed Ingalls,, was Republic
can until year ago, when he join
ed the Farmers Alliance. He is a
newspaper man, is in favor of free
coinage of silver, is thorough
American and in favor of protection
to home industries, although he
does not believe in the present tar
if law altogether. All these are
good qualities, and although he
may not be as brilliant man as
Ingalls,, he will no doubt be a good
man for the people.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1891-01-31

SOME people seem to imagine that
a law providing for the free coinage
of silver will also furnish free silver
money to everybody. 1t is very
grave mistake. Neither the Gov
eminent nor private individuals
will ever willingly pay out money
without receiving an equivalent
therefor, and no amount Of legisla-
ton will enable man to honestly
acquire money without working for
it. These are self-evident facts that
seem to be overlooked by some en-
thusiasts.
Lyon County times. [volume] (Silver City, Nev.) 1874-1907, 1891-01-31

The Democratic editors should
hold a caucus for the purpose of
getting together in their ideas, par
ticularly as regards the tariff. One
of them says in his paper: "We
talk great deal about protection
nowadays, but it is mostly bluff and
buncombe. The genuine article is
not known to this generation Of
Americans" while another says:
1T he Mckinley bill carries protec-
ton to an extreme never before
dreamed Of by its most radical adj
vocate." Both of these editors can
not be right, in fact neither of them
are, but the quoted language serves
for specimens of the ignorance dis
played in writing upon this very
important subject.
