that tho natural gas matter is to 60

yet there is no good reason why Coun-

AS the case now stands the company,

having been assured the controversy

1t appears that Mr.. Beers, OF the New

is to have sl2,5oo year for advisory

1t will BIO very strange it tho policy
holders do not try TO find way to learn
tho meaning OF this liberal ladling out
Of their money. The action OF the man
agcment could hardly BIO moro defiant

make Mr.. Harriaon's denomination as

There is no other man in the party
that can command anything like the

1t is not particularly tattcring to the

distinguished himself by one thing that
is very important, and that in tho

lie has had the sense and courage to
declare openly and .unequivocally
against free coinage and to pledge him
self to promote and defend q currency
in which every dollar issued by the
United States shall be made equal in
value 10 every other dollar. That is a
claim on the party and on the country
that is in any case very great and that
may DO absolutely controlling. Should
the Democratic party be guilty OF tho
stupendous. folly OF committing itself to
the free coinage OF silver, it would be
equivalent to making a present to Mr..
Harrison OF enough electoral votes to
elect him triumphantly, and to the
Republican party OF enough seats in
Congress to give it secure and long
lease OF power.
