DISHONEST DOLLARS

The Republicans Of Maryland held
their State Convention a few days ago.
In their platform they call standard sill
yer dollars dishonest dollars" The
Republican State Convention in Ken
lucky did the same thing. In both the
States of Maryland and Kentucky the
Democrats resolved for free coinage. In
Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa and Min
nesots they did the same thing. Not one
single Republican State Convention east
OF Colorado has failed to denounce free
coinage. The farthest any Of them has
gone has been to indorse the present bul.
lion purchase commodity law. No Dem.
ocratic convention anywhere has sub
scribed to that monstrosity. Harrison,
Blaine, Sherman, Mckinley and all Of the
leaders are standing solidly by the 6nan.
cial policy Of the administration. And
yet we are told that there are no parti-
san politics in the silver question Why,
party lines are as well defined and as
tightly drawn on the silver question as
they are on the tariff. Practically, the
whole Democratic party is for the full
restoration of silver, and practically the
whole Republican party is against it. II
this be not q partisan Alignment we
would be glad if some acute Republican
gentleman would tell us what constitutes
a living political issue. One party is the
friend Of silver. the other is its enemy.
The Republicans in Congress have never
furnished more than q few scattering
votes from the West for silver. All Of
the honest voting for silver in both
Houses. from the passage of the Bland
Act down to date, has been done by the
Democrats. The man in Nevada or else.
where who votes the Republican ticket
votes to keep the enemy of silver in
power, and therefore casts his vote
against silver and himself.

New York World: As we have repeat.
eddy advised our Pennsylvania readers,
Messrs. Quay and Msgee and all the
bosses in the Republican State Conven-
tion were found in complete harmony as
against the Australian ballot. They will
have none of that. They not only refused
to say a word in favor of a Constitutional
Convention, but, obviously in order to
induce a rejection of the convention pro.
position, promise, as before, to submit
a constitutional amendment TOR the re.
moval Of the odious marked ballot clause,
a process requiring from five to seven
years, and which, OF course, they intend
never shall be completed. In so far as
their ~evasive platform touches the Con-
sti.utional Convention at all it is against
it, as was to have been expected. The
Republican default opens to the Democ-
racy the opportunity Of an age. Upon
the issue Of a free ballot and Constitu-
tional Convention to secure it they ought
to be able to sweep the State and so ter

NCONsIsTENCY

INGOhstsEEsth.
The Republican party lie the party Of
glaring Inconsistencies. 1t is not only
different things at different times, but it
is different things at the same time. 1t
breaches both protection and free trade
in the same breath, and showing the
beauties Of both, claims the credit OF
both. 1t accomplishes this by advocat-
ing the doctrines Of prohibitiye tariff and
reciprocity together.
Forced by the demands Of the manu-
facturers who contributed the Doodle
that made Harrison President, it was
forced to put 3 prohibitory tariff upon
all articles produced by those msnufac-
turers. And then, afraid Of the wrath
of the people whom they we're robbing
for the benefit Of these tariff lords,
they invented the panscea reciprocity as
a cure for the ills which they themselves
had occssioned. After infioting the in.
jury they attempt to figure as the physi'
clan who can cure it.
Reciprocity is nothing more or less
than free trade. Ii is an abolition Of the
custom duties upon the products OF q
country which will abolish the custom
duties upon the products of this country.
What is this but free trsdel Blaine, the
most astute politician upon the Republi.
can side, saw, long before any Of his
party, that there must be some relief
from the terrible impositions Of his
party's policy; and he first opened this
free trade road out Of the robber tariff
Jungle in which he foresaw that his party
would soon be lost.
After haunting the Democrats with be.
ing free traders in disguise, the Republi.
cans become free traders without any
disguise; at the same time claiming to be
the most rsbid of protectionists.
What is its monetary policy ? Is it the
party of gold, silver or g~reenbacks! No
one can tell. A few days ago its Presi-
dent, Benjamin Harrison, in a speech at
Albany, n. Y, announced a gold bug
policy as the correct thing; while the
very next day the Pennsylvania State
Republican Convention declared for sill
yer. It's Eastern members are monomet.
~alists, while its Western leaders claim to
be silver men.
On the race question it is no more con
sistent than ON any other. For the South
the Republicans favor negro rule and de-
nounc the Southern people for refusing
to permit him to ~monopolize the offices;
while in the North, where the Republi-
cans are in a position to carry out their
pet theory as to negro rule, they rarely
give him a nomination, and never by any
chance permit him to be elected when he
is nominated. A negro oficeholder in
the North is a rara avis in terra.
The Republican party is all things to
all men," 1t changes its doctrines as Of
ten as it changes its locality, and is true
to but one principle-and that is the firm
resolve to win, regardless Of how. The
only thing to which that party points
with unwaveriDg fidelity is the office,
and the only thing to which it clings
with unshakable tenacity is the spoils.

~Nnnn.N INSTITUTION.

The newspapers Of Chicago. almost
withou. exception, are engaged in a cru
SADIE against an inhuman institution IN
that city known as the sweater -
where women and children are employed
upon starvation wages among surround
ings and under sanitary conditions that
are simply revolving.
1t appears that the sweater is a place
where clothing is manufactured for the
wholesale dealers by contractors. 1t IS
to the interest Of this middleman to get
the work done as cheaply as possible,
and with a minimum outlay for rent,
equipment, ETC.. Of his shop or m~anufao-
tory. He has no interest in the manu-.
facture beyond the profit he can make
upon the labor Of his employees by relent'
less driving and grinding. But little
skill is required in the operatives, so des'
titute women and little children consti-
tute the bulk Of the force employed.
They can be hired very cheap, and want
and ~privation have made them indiffer.
ent to any consideration save procuring
food enough to keep body and soul
together.
The reports in the several papers, de-
scribing the miserable, dark, mslodor-
Gus, unventilated lens in which the work
is done, the meagre wages paid and the
long hours of labor, the wan, pinched
and hsggard look of young girls, the
pallid faces of little children, women
borne down by the burden of poverty
and care, till they are scarce human, the
graphic portrayal OF all this makes hu-
manity shudder at the thought that such
things can be in this country, that boasts
of its Christian charity. But the press
has come to the rescue and reports prog
ress. Already the proprietors have been
compelled to improve the sanitary con-
dition of their shops, hours Of child labor
have been restricted within the law, and
other measures taken for the relief Of the
unfortuuates.
Hoods "Song Of the Shirt" might be
sung by these poor women with keen
realization of the poets fancy; and yet
these things are all told by Republican
newspapers of the condition Of working
people In an industry that is overwhelm.

rhe telegraph brings word that Sena-
tor VIM. NJ. Stewart, Of Nevada, has been
sued in New York by Jas. 4. Lyons. who
seeks to recover from the Senator dam
ages in the sum Of one million dollars in
connection with the sale OF the Emma
mine in London many years ago. A great
scandal grew out Of the transaction which
involved several persons in high official
station. Robert Schenek, who was then
the American Minister to England, lost
his position and was recalled through the
affair. The chief actors we're Lyons, Sen.
ator Stewart, Minister Schenck and Ire
nor W. Park. The Emma mine was dis
covered by Lyons and others in Utah,
aud Stewart became the attorney and ad.
wiser Of the owners Of the property.
Largely through the Endorsement OF Min.
lister Schenck the mine was sold for a
fabulous sum in England. Lyons has al.
ways commended that Stewart and Park
conspired against him and actually de-
frauded him out Of q million or more of
money. Be that as il may, Senator Stew.
art sets up in his answer to the suit just
brought that be once compromised with
Lyons and took q clear receipt from him
for $780, 00. This ought, in our judg-
ment, to settle Mr.. Lyons. Whether he
got q fair dividend out Of the proceeds
Of the sale or not, he afterwards made q
new bargain looking TO a complete set
Element Of the whole transaction, and
that should be the end Of it. Beside,
Park and Stewart were not allowed to
retain the whole Of the original purchase
money. The Emma mine, which bad
promised well in the beginning "pe-
tered" too soon, the E~nglishmen made q
great row about having been ~swindled,
aud the result was that q large share of
their money was restored TO them. II
seems to be admitted that out Of the deal
Lyons held on to about $3.50, 900. Stew
art and Park probably retained double
this amount each, but they furnished the
brains and carried through the negotia-
tions, without which Lyons would not
have realized a dollar. He got enough
for what turned out to be q worthless
mine and should be content. Senator
Stewart claims that Lyons is trying to
blackmail him. This New York suit
would seem to indicate that our Senator
has been making a big raise in the East.
A suit for a million would hardly be
brought against an impeeunious individ-
ual. Lyons has been camping on the
Senator'S trail for nearly twenty years.
At times he has psmphleteered the En-
ma deal, and the prominent actors in it,
with remarkable vividness. There is
nothing on this earth about which Sena-
tor Stewart is so sensitive as this Emma
affair. He shows as much rage as a Texas
steer before q red rag whenever it is al
luded to. A gentleman once on the
stump in this State alluded to him in a
humorous way as 1.-THE author Of the
Emma mine and other works Of felton,"
and he positively tore up the ground in
his anger. If anybody is spelling for 8
row with Senator Stewart, all he has to
do is to say Emma mine" to him and
he will get it. He gets as wild over this
as he does when the record is pulled on
him showing that he voted for the de-
monetization OF silver in 1873.

the CHANCES IN THE SENATE.

The new Congress meets the first week
in December. The Democrats and Gran.
gers will have about one hundred major.
ity in the House. One of the first general
measures to be considered will be q bill
providing for the free coinage Of silver.
Fortunately there are not enough Repub-
licans in the House to prevent the pass
age of such a law by a clear two-thirds
majority. How the measure will fare in
the Senate, where the Republicans are
in the ascendency, cannot be calculated
with certainty. An Eastern correspond.
emit figures that q free coinage bill in that
body will receive ifty-6ve votes in favor
aud thirty-three against. 1t will require
ffty-nine votes to pass the bill over .
veto in a Senate of eighty-eight mem
bers. 1t is thus seen that the friends OF
silver will be four votes short if the est.
mate of this correspondent be correct.
On the other hand we have lately been
informed that Senator Stewart claims
that there are sufficient number of Sen.
ators already pledged to override the
veto Of the President. But it is apparent
that the fight is to be an exceedingly
close one in that body. No one seems to
doubt that Harrison will veto any bill
favorable to silver that may be passed.
He is even now cavorting about the coun-
try and saying that "every dollar that
is issued must be as good as any other
dollar" He evidently means that gold
is "the other dollar" and that the sill
YER dollar is short as a measure OF value.
He cannot mean anything else. So we
may reasonably assume that the power OF
the administration, backed up by an al
most unanimous Republican party, will
be against free coinage. The contest
promises to be close and doubtful in the
Senate, with the odds, if any difference,
slightly against us.

There is no doubt now as to where Nc.
Kinley stands on the silver question. He
is both a bold and frank man, and in his
speech at Niles, in opening the Ohio cam.
paign, he took square grounds against
free and unlimited coinage. Thus the
issue is fairly made, and there should not
be a Republican in Colorado who, If a
true friend to the white metal, should
not use his utmost endeavors for the de-
feat of this avowed gold bug candidate.

Senator John Sherman, sometimes call.
ed "honest John" and at other times
.'the Mansfield I%cicle," opened the Ohio
campaign . few days ago at . place called
Padding. He abandoned the tariff n
tirely and talked altogether about silver.
From this we may judge that silver is
one Of the great issues between the par
ties in Ohio this year. We are glad that
the Democrats are pressing John Sher-
man to the wall on this vital question.
1t would be simply retributive justice If
he were driven from public life through
the part he played in the demonstration
Of silver in 1873. He and Mckinley and
the Republican party stand for the pres
ent bullion commodity Act, while Gov
ernor Campbell and the Democratic party
are pledged to and fighting for free coin.
age. And still we doubt if there are
many Republicans in Nevada who would
be grstifed to see Sherman and Mckinley
defeated. Sherman in his speech the
other day argued that silver is q com-
modify and entitled to no more consider
alton than rutts bsgas or turnips or any
other product Of the soil. That is the
vice of the present law. 1t ignores silver
as . sovereign money. forgetting that
it is understandable, and places il on
o par with ephemerAl and perishable
products. On this point we quote from
Sherman's late speech as follows:
zone distinctive. striking feature OF
this law is that the United States will
not pay for silver bullion more than its
market value. Why should we Nearly
all the silver produced in the United
States is by rich corporations in q few
new States, and it's production at the
market price is far more profitable than
any crop Of the farmer. and yet it is de-
manded by the producer Of silver bullion
that the United States should pay him
Is per cent more than its market value.
That lies 81 the foundation Of the differ
ence between the Republican and the
Democratic parties. 1t treats
both silver and gold like all other com.
modities or productions as subject to the
universal rule Of being worth what they
will bring in the markets Of the world.
1t is the Republican doctrine now pro-
claimed in our Ohio platform. The Dem.
ocratic party of free coinage, the Senator
said, means that we shall purchase all
the silver offered, come from where it
may, and give the holder either coin or
treasury notes at the rate of 81 for every
81 grains, worth in the market now "
cents"
We will give Senator Sherman the
credit of stating the relative positions
correctly Of the two parties on silver. 1t
is especially gratifying that the people Of
the East are carrying the question into
the local political campaigns. The Dem.
ocrats shopld have forced the fighting on
this line long ago.. The Republican party
has always been, as ii is to-day, the de-
termined foe Of silver. The Republican
party is the only thing standing between
the people and free coinage in this coun-
try. All of the people in all Of the min.
ing States should send up one long de.
vout prayer for the overthrow Of the
Republican party in every State in the
Union. May John Sherman fall at the
bottom Of the pile.
