man law of 1890, providing for
| the purchase of $4,000, 900
ounces of silver per year, is
advocated by Mr.. Sherman,
and also in the platform of the
Democratic party. By all
means let them repeal it this
|winter. Then the money ques-
&tion will come to a crisis, and
Fthe free and unlimited coinage
[of silver will become a neces-

be compelled to show its posi-
zion.
**x A monopolistic paper of
Kansas, discussing the next legis-
ature of that State says:
"It is not supposed that any
democrat or Republican will en-
ter into Legislation that will be
detrimen entail to the interests and
Credit of the State of Kansas.
Do you see the point ? Monop-
ply is fighting the Peoples par
ty. 1t is satisfied with either
the Democratic or Republican
party. There are in fact but two
parties in this country now. the
monopoly and the anti-monopoly
parties. To which do you be-
long?
~ The Democrats are now
in, but they are already trying
to DODGE even the tariff ques-
lion. The politicians are pro-
posing to raise commission to
consider the question of the
tariff. The Washington Post

Jays:
"The commission proposition
IS not to be thought of except
ing to reject it. There is grave
doubt of it's wisdom. There is
abundant cause to mistrust the
botives behind it. 1t is not an
onest and straightforward
deal by the people. 1t is a
cheme for procrastination-a
cheme to battle the public de-
hand for tariff reform-a
cheme to put off and indefi-
aitely delay and needlessly
omplicate, if not to eventually
efeat, the legislation which
le Democratic party is pledg-
to enact.

land and Secretary Manning In quarantinng against

BY the law OF 1878 1t is provided among other
things
First-That no vessel coming from any foreign port
country where any contagious infectious disease
exists, conveying any person or persons, NOR
chsndise or animals. affected with any contagious
disease shall into the United States except in
the manner and subject the regulations in that act
authorized.
Second-The Surgeon General OF the Marine Hos
pta Service shall under the direction Of the Secretary
Of the Treasury be charged with the execution Of the
provisions of this act, and shall frame all needful
rules and regulations for that purpose. These rules
and regulations shall be subject to the approval OF the
President; but such rules and regulations shall not
conflict with impair any sanitary quarantine la %s
or regulations OF any state municipal authorities
now existing which may hereafter be enacted.
The policy OF Congress has apparently been to
mainly leave this branch OF the public service with
the states and most OF the seaboard States have
statutes more less elaborate on the subject.
The State statutes and regulations however may be
supplemented by the National Executive. My con-
cluson therefore Is that the SurgeonGcnerM Of the
Marine Hospital Service and the Secretary OF the Treas
ury with your approval have authority 70 make need
full rules and regulations not inconsistent with the
State laws and regulations for the quarannng OF ships
coming into harbors, with view TO the prstec-
ton OF the health and lives Of our people Very
respectfully,
