Public Opinion Moves Slowly, Hut 1t
Does Move.


Does Move.
1t has at last moved Quay and Dudley
and, while the change to Clarkson may
seem only to add the merciless brutality
of political hcadsman to the lever Of
the Republican machine, yet it demon
strates the uneasiness of the Admins
tration under the inquisition Of the
public eye.
AS exposure follows exposure it be-
comes necessary to present new pictures
for the political magic lantern with
which the combined benefciaries who
rule and rob the American people under
a prohibitory tariff seek to beguile the
public.
The political managers who received
the designations Of Quay and Dudley
tried to break the fall Of these two dis
credited bosses BY words Of eulogy
which sound like bitter sarcasm--when
applied to such characters-but the fact
remains that Quay and Dudley had be-
come heavy loads and the Harrison adj
ministration was afraid TO continue
them; therefore they step down and out.
The displacement of the Collector of
the Port of New York is politics" of
the lowest class. 1t is retrograde
movement back into the spoils system,
of twenty years ago, Of Murphy and
Arthur and fully iustifies the declara-
ton of the Maryland Democratic plat
form, that "the civil service Of the
United States, considered as whole, is
to-day partisan organization doing
active political service for the admins
tration by which it is employed"
But ga decent respect for the opinion
of mankind creates an uneasy sense Of
apprehension in the Republican camp
and the small Quay Dudley gang o.

William Henry Smith, manager of the

an article to the August Century in

ment and work of that great news

San, the Tribune and the Courier. The
Times and World came in later; the
latter under the Courier franchise. The
New York Associated Press is now the
centre Of u combination Of nearly all

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. IA near
neighbor of Gideon w. Marsh, the
missing president Of the keystone
National Bank, processes to have posi-
tive information that Marsh is living at
Tegzuilapa, the capital of the old
Spanish Honduras, in Central America.
He adds that regzuilapa is an interior
town, with no railroad communication
with the coast, and that it takes five or
six days Of riding over a rough country
to reach it. Although there is a reward
of $4,000 for Marsh's arrest, this
information as to his whereabouts, UNI
less confirmed, is not likely to take
detectives in that direction.

The combination Of silver mine
owners by dint of their literary bu-
reah have succeeded in befoggng the
brains of great many worthy farmers.
The annexed article, from the New
York Egeatng Post, may help 10 put the
proportionate value of the silver pro
duct TO the agricultural product in a
clearer light.
The cost to the country, and especially
to the wage-earning classes, of sending
the gold coin into foreign exile in order
to attain free coinage of silver would
be greater in six months than the value
of all the silver produced in six years:
Every one who listens to the arguments
of therepresentative of the so-caled silver
states in Congress and in the press, must
get the idea that silver is the most import
ant production of this country. The in
ference1s also fair that 1t is one of the ten
derest, and, therefore, most in need of
gov2nment coddhng. The silver men
bodily demand that the goyernment-that
n tx the people--shall not only buy all the
,oFproduct of their mines, but shall buy II at
a fancy price-that is, above its market
value. Nor is this all The government
might do this and charge the result to
profit and loss, without any serious detri-
ment to prosperous nation. But the sill
yer men know that if they asked the gov
eminent to buy their bullion at their own
price, as the iron mine owners might do,
they would be hustled out of the Hobbies
of Congress, So they becloud their re-
quest with all the financial heresies they
can in regard to the employment Of silver
to makemoney CHEAP and plenty and
so gain large amount of support from
the very classes such as the members of
the Alliance, who would be first To protest
against such thing us Il direct subsidy at
the expense of the taxpayers for these
rich mine owners.
But an important fact to keep in mind
in this silver discussion is that the silver
mining industry, which obtrudes itself
with so much eiirontery upon public at
tention, and in behalf of which Congress
is asked TO upset the finances of the ma.
ton, is in reality an inconsiderable indus
try compared with scores of others The
census bulletin ON our gold and silver pro
duction, recently issued, makes 1t easy ii
show this.
In the first place in the year 1850 only
,ght states produced over 81 ,O0O,O0U worth
If silver, and only two over sl0OOOO0t
worth. The largest product of any on,
tate was Colorado's S23, 75775l and thu
iext largest that of Montana, l7,46s960
che value of Colorados silver product fo
hat year was exceeded by the value Of til,
sheat pIuuuSt VI cnNn VI WY lulloMlill
y tates California, Dakota, Illinois, lndi
lnaI Minnesota and OHIO; it was exceeded
~ the value of the corn crop of each u
,hese states Illinois, Indiana Iowa, Kan
as, Kentucky, Missouri Nebraska, Ohio
Tennessee and Texas; it was exceeded b.
the value OF the cotton crop Of Mississippi
and of Texas and il was also exceeded b,
the value of the hay crop of each of tn
following states:. Illinois, Iowa, NeN
York, Ohio and Pennsylvania This com
parison could be extended to much create
