Senator Stewart talked free silver to a
Boston audience few nights ago and ex-
planned why unlimited coinage would
benefit the people. The reason that Eastern
sentiment is opposed to free coinage is. in the
Senator's opinion, because it is muzzled by
the gold bugs" Every despatch" he said,
that comes from New England is doctored
to suit the gold bugs; the national banks
were created by job, and the loyalty of the
bankers was bought with this bride; they
tell us that we want to palm off our So per
cent dollar, and that there is $30,0O0,OO0 of
silver In the world. Why, there Is not In
this world that amount of bullion of coin
worth less than dollar for 4l2I grains O
standard gold. The bulk of that is in New
York, there accumulated by British legisla.
tors and held in New York for the purpose
of holding down the price Of silver" Consid.
ering that Senator Stewart is the owner of
great silver mines and that his wealth would
be vastly increased by free coinage the
kind of accusation he is making against its
opponents shows on his part good deal of
what Is popularity known as 'cheek" His
remarks to the Boston audience were effec.
i've enough, however, to get them to adopt a
resolution calling on Congressman Andrew TO
explain why he voted against free coinage,
and upon Congressman O'Neil to explain
why he lodged.

The Albany journal has information
which is said to come from one of the lead
ing Democrats of New York that Mr.. Cleve-
land before writing his anti-silver letter
thoroughly canvassed the matter with his
most intimate advisers and decided that he
would not be able to hold his party to the
tariff question as the all-important issue OF
the next campaign, while his past utter
ances and present sentiments ON silver put
him out of line with his party on the finan.
cial question. Therefore he concluded that BIZ
could not be the candidate. and long before
the convention is held, this Democrat declares
the ex-President will write a letter ex
plicitlyiwithdrawing his name. 1t looks now
however, as IL he would be spared the
trouble withdrawing. for Democratic sem
timent Is fast pushing him out.

The proposition to restrict the Australian
law to cities and towns of 5000 inhabitants
or more should get no support from the ad-
vocates of the system. There are very few
towns In Maine with that population. and II
confined to towns of that size only veiy
small part of the voters of the State would
vote under the new system. Perhaps the
exclusion of the very small towns and plan
tations might not be Objectionable, but If the
bill cannot be passed without the 5000 re-
striction 1t had better be referred to the

OF all the remedies that have been suggeste

NO COMPROMISE.

tSt. Louis Globe-Democrat]
NO compromise with the silver men should
be accepted by the Republicans. When the
sherman bullion law was enacted last sum-
mer the silverites prefessed to be satisfied
with this disposition of the question. This
law Is compromise. 1t is one, however, in
which the greater part of the concessions
were made by the sound-money advocates.
Ii the same men should yield little more
now the settlement" would last until the
next Congress assembled and not day
longer. The extremists would be just as
clamorous for more favors then as they are
now or as they were. year ago. Nothing
short of free and unlimited coinage for the
worlds silver product will satisfy them.
The honest-money champions ought to un-
derstand the situation. The Republican
party has done enough for the silver conspi-
rators.

that only about 800 persons had petitioned for

that was an error. 1t now declares that the
friends of the Australian system admit that
1t Is cumbersome. They admit no such
thing. On the contrary they claim that 1t is
exceedingly simple. So the Times had
better confess another error.
