The st. Louis Globe-DemOcrat says that
"the Democrats cannot possibly undo
in four years the good the Republicans
have done since 1860" 1t is not the good
the Republicans have done that the De-
mocrats are after. They are willing to
let that stand If they can find it; but it
will take several generations to undo
the bad that one Republican Congress
alone has inflicted upon the country.

the Senate occupy sixty-six columns,
and in the House seventy eight columns
of the Congressional Globe. Curiously
enough, Senator Stewart, then as now
representing the state of Nevada, voted
for it, and there is nothing in the de-
bates to show that anybody was serious
ly interested IN the silver dollar.
The reason why no one was interest
ed is simple. For fifty years previous
the amount of bullion in silver dollar
had been worth from 10l to 104 cents,
and nobody was taking it to the mint to
be stamped 100 cents. The total num-
Der of silver dollars coined from the es-
Enlistment of our government down to
1873 was less than the issue Of any two
months of 1891 or 1892. 1t was not un-
til under the increased production the
price of silver began to fall that the
privilege of free coinage was valued or
missed. When 4129 grains Of standard
silver, instead of being worth 101 cents
became worth only 80 cents the silver
producer began to ask where the mint
was located. He wanted the govern
ment stamp of 100 cents on it. By the
time it was down to 90 cents he was STIR
ring himself to re-estabish free coin
age, and, as it has continued to fall I'M
der the continually increasing produc-
ton, he has grown in the opinion that
the act OF 1878 was an outrage and pro-
cured by a conspiracy.
The argument that the act was passed
in the interest of creditors has flaw in
it. Silver was then dear money, and
gold, as compared with silver, cheap
money. A gold dollar was worth 100
cents, and a silver dollar 1926 cents.
We are asked to believe that creditors
sought to compel debtors to make pay
ment in 100-cent dollars instead of 1872
cent dollars.
There is a flaw also in the theory that
the act of 1873 caused the decline in sill
yer. The only way in which it could
occasion decline was by lessening the
demand. The same act which dropped
the standard silver dollar authorized
the trade dollar. which contained more
silver, and during the next four years
We coined three times as many trade
dollars as we had coined standard dol
lars in all our history prior to 1873. So
1t was not a cessation of our mint de-
mand which started silver downward.
Silver is cheaper because of an in
creased supply, and because the uncer-
tainty of its value has led to its disuse
as money by SO many nations. The
United States, by buying every two
months more than its total coinage
down to 1873, and by its efforts to es-
| tablish an international basis for free
coinage, is doing its full duty to sustain
the value of the white metal.-Later-

Reading Company Called Into Court at

ney Longenecker yesterday afternoon
filed information in the circuit court to
restrain the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron Company and J. w.
Skeele. its agent in Chicago, from selling
anthracite coal in Cook County, on the
ground Of unlawful combination. It is
alleged that the Philadelphia and Read
ing Coal and Iron Company confederated
with other companies to limit the
amount of anthracite coal TO be used,
not only in the state Of New Jersey but
in Chicago, and that the company is
foreign corporation and is vioator of
the statutes of Illinois by virtue of It's
unlawful pools and agreements. Owing
to the alleged illegal combination the
price of coal, it is charged, is raised
from month to month in Cook County,
and under an agreement all of the
agents or persons who purchase anthra-
cite coal from any one OF their several
offices must contract to sell at such
prices as has been or may be fixed by

short Sermon who Ia Taxed.
The Democratic platform declares
protective tariff unconstitutional, and
pledges the party to inaugurate tariff
for revenue only.
A tariff for revenue only is what En-
gland has. Let US examine II and see
how it compares with our own Mckln-
ley law, and if possible discover where
IN 1t IS preferable to our present ar
Yangement. Then we can intelligently

He, therefore, pays as much or more

Under our protective system the

As matter Of fact, the laborer, the
mechanic and the farmer can get along,

without a single imported article which
pays duty. Those they must have are

They buy homemade boots and

Products of the labor of their own

them, and by buying them they escape

Testimony OF Some Democratic Officials.
If the Democrats, Mugwumps, free
traders, and Adulamites of all sorts have
been as anxious as they have protested
themselves to be to make inspection of
the figures whereupon Commissioner
Peck based his report of in creased
wages and increased production since
the passage of the Mckinley bill, they
will unite in vote of thanks to our dis
tinguisheG though youthful contempo-
rary, the New York Recorder.
Of course they will do nothing Of the
kind, for the figures justify the report;
but all seekers after truth will thank
the Recorder for this special record
The accuracy Of the figures presented
in several pages of seven columns each
IS sworn to by Commissioner Peck and
by all the clerks in his Office They
prove conclusively that wages are high
er and the output of manufactures
larger in New York state during the
first year of the new tariff than in the
last year eff the old one. Commissioner
Peck's statistics are unimpeachable.
But the unimpeachable statistics of
Mr.. Peck, who is the Democratic COM
missioner of labor for the state of New
York, are not the only testimony from
Democratic sources in favor Of the
beneicent operations OF the Mckinley
bill.
There is the testimony OF Mr.. Peelle,
who is the Democratic commissioner Of
statistics for Indiana.
There is the testimony of Mr.. Par
sons, who is the Democratic commits
sioner of savings banks in New York.
There is the testim ony of the labor
commissioner of Massachusetts, who
serves under the Democratic governor
of that state.
Peck's Democratic report proves that
wages are higher and manufactures
more abundant in New York since the
passage of the Mckinley bill. This re-
port rests upon the testimony of more
than 5000 employers of labor.
Peelle's Democratic report proves that
wages are higher in Indiana since the
passage of the Mckinley bill. This re-
port rests on the testimony of wage
earners.
Parsons Democratic report proves
that the savings of labor in New York
are greater since the passage Of the Nc
Kinley bill.
The Massachusetts Democratic report
proves that the condition of labor is in
every way improved since the passage
of the bill.
