SILVER IN THE SENATE.

Free silver is weaker in tho United States
Senate than it was in 1890. Senator
Plumb. leading free silver Republican,
has been succeeded by Senator Perkins,
who is opposed to free silver. Senator
Hearst has been succeeded by Senator
FELTON,, who is against free silver. STAN
ford, Henderson. Allen, Squire, Paddock,
Hansbough, Casey and Pettigrew will all
probably vote against free silver.
The Democratic senator's, Carlisle, Brice,
Palmer, Villas. Mcpherson, Blodgett, Gray,
Vest, German, Gibson, White, and prob
ably Senator Hill. will vote againsi free
silver.
which substituted q 100-cent silver note
for the old lightweight Bland dollar, was
sent to the Senate. the bill was convert
ed into a free coinage bill and carried
through the Senate by majority of seven
teen. Today "free silver" would fail of a
majority in the Senate. The New York
Sun correspondent says of Stewards bill :
Several Republican senators who voted for free
svsr year ago are now opposed to it. Senator
Manueison, OIL NeDrasAa, VINO voted Tor the bill
last year, says he did SO in Difference to the
wishes OF a large number of his constituents.
Sentiment has undergone a change, and he is
now opposed TO fres silver, and AFRO to the con-
sderation OF the bill. Senator Stanford, OF Cal
ifN-nia, is said to have exp-rieneed change of
heart on the silver question He may vote for
the consideration OF the Stewart bill, but one
OF the free silver leaders said today that Stanford
and also Paddock, of Nebraska, can no longer
be counted upon to vote in favor of the bill In
addision to the changes against free silver
Already mentioned. another vote is lost by the
death of senator Hearst. His successor, Sen.
ator FELTON,, Is an anti-silver man 1t Is also
probable that some OF the Republican senators
from the new states may change their votes
when the time comes. 1t is generally admitted
on toe Republican side of the chamber that a
cnange of sentiment on this question has taken
place IN several OF the Westsrn states

The delusion, which possesses so many
farmers, South and West, that free
silver" will get more money into their
pockets is denounced by the Memphis
Appedl-Apalanche, who bluntly tells the
farmers that they would suffer more from
free coinage than anybody else. 1t points
out that, so far from there being scarcity
of money in tho country, there is more
money ''per capita" now than ever before.
The Bland bill proposes to make the
United States government pay 30 cents on
the dollar more than the market price of
silver. but the Memphis newspaper says
that this 30 cents would go to the silver
miner. and the farmer would get none of
it. The withdrawal of the gold in the
country from circulation would follow,
and "a headlong depreciation of silver"
would ensue. The situation then would
be this:
There is no way by which the farmer could
get any of the extra money which the Bland
bill is designed to put in circulation except by
working Tor 1t or selling something for it Fur
thermore, the European cotton men could
gather up mass Of silver at the rate of 20 cents
for every 412ll grains, ship 1t to this country
and get legal tender dollar notes for every 20
cents worth of It. They could then buy up the
cotton crop with the legal tender notes. th.,
purchasing the crop for 20 cents on the dolls,
No measure that could be devised would ear
heavier on the farmer end planter than the
Bland bill

A DEMOCRATIC LIE.

At the Democratic Massachusetts, state
convention on Friday last Hon. Edward
Avery said:
We denounce the Republican act of 1890
which requires the monthly purchase of $780,
coo ounces of silver and issue upon 1t of upwards
OF S54o0o.o0o per annum OF 7o-cent paper.
This is a lie. The Sherman law of July
II, 1890. provides for the purchase of
1850. 0O0 ounces of silver month; it pro-
vides for the issuance of treasury notes,
each dollar of which is based upon 100
cents worth of silver. The United States
has not coined single silver dollar since
July l. 1891.
The Bland bill now before congress re-
peals the existing Sherman act of 1890,
nnder which the government is buying
100000 ounces of silver a month and
issuing coin notes thereon, and provides
that any person may bring any quantity
of silver to the minis and have it coined
into dollars at the measure of 4i2IS grains,
nine-tenths fine, to the dollar, or receive
therefor paper notes redeemable in gold or
silver dollars at the option of the govern
ment. Such dollars are to be a legal ten
der for all debts.
This Bland bill substitutes for the lin
tied issuance of treasury coin notes. each
dollars worth of which is based upon 100
cents worth of silver, the unlimited issue
of light silver dollar containing 4l2Is
grains, worth today about IS cents in the
general silver market This Bland bill
provides for dollar worth about "a cents
less than the gold in a gold dollar, and
enables anybody 10 buy 66 cents worth of
silver bullion, which he can then take 10
the government minis and receive s coin
or a note. free Of further cost, that he
could compel creditor TO take as dollar
in discharge of so much of his claim.
The Bland silver note issued in exchange
for the 4l2H grains Of standard silver

silver on its face, but is made coin"
note, rsdeemahls in gold or silver at the
discretion of the government.
Given q government with s limited
supply Of gold. of course, everybody. who
under the Bland bill, had a coin dollar
note worth 65 cents would present it at the
government treasury in order TO get a
gold dollar worth 100 cents. II the gov
eminent paid the light" dollar coin notes
with gold dollar the governments gold
would soon be gone; If the government re-
fused to pay gold dollar for the light sill

While Great Britain with 5000 makers
of an article would compete comfortably
among themselves, manufacturing the ar
ticle here adds so many to the competing
ones in Great Britain. In the same way
competition develops Henry Graham in
New York, an importer of pearl buttons.
since the Mckinley bill passed with its
tariff on pearl buttons. has already re-
duced the price of protected pearl buttons.
Such buttons as sold for 81. p gross have
been reduced to 50 cents gross.
Against such plain facts and figures as
these cited and quoted by Mr. Reed every
workingnan of average intelligence can
see that Grover Cleveland's starting ciy,
1.-THE tariff is tax" is either willful
lie or a stupid delusion on his part. The
tariff was a tax, of course, when We pro-
tected sugar, q non-competing product,
and made the American consumer pay
$50, OO0, 600 for the benefit of a
little corner of the country, like
Louisiana, but under a tariff whose
protection of competitive indus
try forces down the price as in the case of
steel rails and other iron products, linseed
oil, pearl buttons, salt, cotton ties and
Other industries that have multiplied
under protection, competition results in
fall of prices
Governor Mckinley forced home the
same argument that free trade meant the
extinction of competing industries or a
fall to the European scale of wages
when he said: "Without protective
tariff, if we continue to hold the American
market, we must reduce our wages to the
level of those paid in Europe. You can
not have Chinese prices unless you have
Chinese methods" Against this kind Of
argument the Democracy cannot carry 9
doubtful state of the East, unless we in
clude New Jersey among the doubtful
states.
The Democracy, under Grover Cleve-
lands leadership. advocate free ore and
free coal, which means ruin to the miner;
advocate free wool, which means ruin to
the sheep grower; advocate free lumber
and free salt, which means ruin to two
great American industries. Congl essman
Bryan, of Nebraska, who tried to persuade
Rhode Island to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket, desires to place lumber
on the free list, which represents an in
vestment of $3.50, 100000 and supports q
population of 100000. The Tacoma
Lumber Association in their recent reso-
lutlons protest against suffering this
great industry to fall into decay for the
benefit of aliens interested in the vast
forest resources of Canada and British
Columbia.
The cotton raisers of the South form the
bulk of the Democratic party in congress,
and they have to no purpose offered the
bride of free wool to the wool manufacture
ers of Rhode Island, who are smart
enough to see that free wool must surely
be followed by free woolens. If Grover
Clevelands personal appeal for "free
WOOL" which is the first long step on the
Democratic march to free trade, falls fat
In Rhode Island in April, what ground of
hope is there for believing that the Demo-
cratic appeal to the people to repudiate
the Mckinley law will not be sat down
upon very hard by the doubtful states of
the East in November?

note would no longer be exchanged with
a gold dollar anywhere.
Against this Bland Stree silver" bill
nearly the whole Republican strength OF
the House was thrown, while large ma
jority of the Democracy in the House
voted for this pernicious measure
Against this Democratic tidal wave for free
silver John Sherman succeeded in erecting
the break water of the limited silver coin
age act of July II, 1880. Under this act
treasury notes. every dollar Of which
rests on 100 cents worth of silver bullion,
have taken the place of the Bland light
weight silver dollar and silver certificates,
worth today about 66 cents. And yet Mr..
Avery, Democrat of Massachusetts,.
charges the Republican party with having,
under the act of July, 1s9o, issued 7O-cent
paper.
Under the Bland act of 1878 the silver
certificate was deprecated paper, for it
rested only on a deprecated dollar of 4l21s
grains, but the treasury note issued under
the act of 1890 rests. every dollar of it, on
100 cents worth of bullion.

The Song of the Music Halls.
The patrons of the London music halls are re-
joicing in new song which is sung with great
effect by its author, Miss Lottie Collins. Miss
Collins has given her doggerel the title Tara
"a, Boom -de-ayv' and it Is worthy OF the name.
Its words are as follows:
I'm rafting lively song,
Not too short ami not too long,
Not too right and not too wrong,
Just the thing to please the thronSi
Boys declare I'm just immense,
Girls all think me quite intense,
As to what il innocence
am rather on the fence.
CHORUS.
Ta.ra-ra boom-der-e, ta-ra-ra boom-der-e, etc
Who's my mamma, don't know.
Twas born too long ago
Who's my papa, doesn show,
You can't most always tell, you know.
Let them guess till they are gray,
While I'm merry night and day,
don't give myself away.
am ra-ra-ra, boom-de-ay.-Choruk
OF the new song and its singer the London
Figaro says:
"Ta-ra-ra, boom-de-ay" is quite unworthy Of
serious criticism. There is a charm about the
singer. She is not suggestive, she is not vulgar:
but she is quaint and original. She has a
pianant face matter whie ;ld we can readily
her pose 10 attractive. Before she sang her song
in public Miss Collins was doubtful whether it
would succeed. Those to whom she submitted
1t thought very little OF it The words are ex-
ceedingly silly, the music Is feeble, and the
singer, though clever and chic, is not q genius.
Yet "Ta-rs-ra, boom-de-ay" is the talk OF the
town, and fills the Golfers of four places OF
amusement, as well as the pockets OF Miss
Lottie Collins Much of the song is given in the
pdrld1te manner SO in vogue at the music halls,
but quite distasteful to a cultivated musical
ear, and the band is turned on so thick in the
chorus that the singer is seen rather than heard.
Nevertheless, Miss Collins creates tremendous
effect with this hymn to mediocrity.
