In his address before the Senate yes
terday, Sherman admirably defined the
Republican position on silver. The
legislation of the past, in which he him
self has had so large share, has never
claimed TO do more than provide in the
safest manner possible for exigencies or
keep within the bounds of reason and
prudence mania which threatened to
sweep the financial system of the coun-
try to destruction. The Republican
party has steered its course with level
head and firm hand; not always
straight for its haven, but like an ex-
perienced mariner making the best
weather it could of currents and shifting
winds.
OF the situation at the moment Sher-
man said tersely and with blunt hon
esty: I'VE are required to pass law
that any holder of silver bullion may
have it minted into silver dollars at the
rate of sixteen Of silver to one of gold.
But the trouble is that one ounce of gold
will buy to-day in any market in the
world twenty-threc ounces of silver.
That is the position in which this ques-
ton is presented. 1t is wrong in prin-
ciple, wrong in detail, wrong in every
aspect-a fraud on the creditor, decep-
tion to the debtor and demonetiZation
of gold. 1t would advance the pound
sterling from its present rate of SIS to
something like 81, and the 2Of. piece to
30f. and l00f. piece to $780,"
Here is the whole matter in a nutshell
A month of argument could not advance
us beyond this brief, unadorned state
ment. We have a fund of 1900, ,0O0, 900
ounces of silver now i'm sight and the
production is increasing enormously.
The free coinage of silver must inevita-
bly, produce one of two results; it must
bring the whole mass of silver in the
world up to the gold standard at 16 to
or gold will be demonetized.
1t cannot do the one, therefore the
other is inevitable. Ruin, disaster,
bankruptcy are ahead if the silver mad
ness prevails. The very threat of free
coinage has disturbed business for
months.
We have domestic product for which
to find a market. Eight European gov
ernments have now accepted the Presi-
dents invitation to discuss the status of
that product and make the best arrange
ment for it feasible. This is the Repub-
lican business method. 1t stands out in
glaring contrast with the quarrel be-
tween fanaticism and blank wall in
the opposition.

THE FREE PARLIAMENT.
May 25.

May 20.
To the Editors Of the Nsus:
Don't you think in justice to all con-
cerned, and that youthful and unparlia-
mentary individual 1.-THE moderator" that
he should be heard do. For q score or
more years previous to 1890 Norwood lay
silent to its valuable suburban advan-
tages. Its people hated TO urge It's progress
by any individual effort or expenditures.
The people became case hardened to every
movement toward ameiorating their own
or others children's futures. Perhaps
you can better understand what the
PARTY Of Progress" have to contend with.
About fifteen years ago school house
was built, not through the efforts nor by
the desire of these "antis," but the law
took an interest and hand in 1t. Every
body saw the need OF il. IL was n bitter
pill, and they promised not to forget its
taste.
This hatred of progress, fear of farm
taxation, objections against expenditures
OF any description are just as common as
they were twenty years ago.
One characteristic OF the Norwoodites
is their longevity. The same old "kickers"
are here still, more cramped, more re
tarding, more pronounced against educa-
tion than ever before.
Such, with a few additional idiosyncra-
cies, are the members OF the Kicking
Party" Giving justice TO whom 1t be-
longs. it must be said that there are a
few of the old inhabitants who do every
thing possible toward advancement.
Here however, let me warn several who
have pretended to favor this party by
half promises, that this coat of praise is
not for their shoulders.
We are unfortunate In having one or
two of those political execrations called
"bolters" who, ii their personal needs are
not fully attended to Immediately rush to
our opponents, deny affiliation with us,
swear by all that's "swearable" that they
don't want new school house, and then
rush back to our ranks and say, ''if this
was only done this way or that way, ETC.,
we would have succeeded"
II by force they compel the district
meeting to end in "a battle, there are still
will cast the winning votes for the new
schoolhouse.
Now a few words in relation to that
taxpayer, or the gentleman who signs
his name "K"
Admit everything that has been written
is true, what of it? Taxes! Suppose
pay only on $500 valuation, that's $500 more
than the writer of the article in your
paper opposing the progress of the PRO
gressive Party" of School District No. Is.
My knowledge of Cushing's Manual
would avail me but little during that dis

Our esteemed contemporary, the New
port Herald, innocently inquiries:
II all the frightful results which they
say would follow tariff reform here in the
course OF a fey years, should come about,
why is 1t that England Is not country
of paupers and beggarsy
Esteemed contemporary, it is. That's
why.
Proofs? You shall have them from
English and pro English sources.
Prof. Bryce in his mastery "Ameri-
can Commonwealth" remarks upon the
fact that census of 1880, American, and
1881, British) Great Britain has one pau
per for about thirty-fiye of its popula-
ton, while we have one for every 600 or
so.
There are in London alone 600,0 900
cases of destitution cared for by the
Charities Organization Society.
Mr.. Booth in his analysis of the popu-
lation of the "Tower Hamlets" divides
the people into self-supporting, chronic
paupers, occasional paupers, &c. Only
60 per cent. of the entire population be.
long to the former class.
Take the country at large. To the
million paupers must be added two and
a half million needing out relief, and yet
others--an unknown number-who get
help from private charitable agencies.
This reckoning justifies Canon Blackly
and Charles Booth in arguing for an old
age pension, in the statement that half
Great Britain's laboring men are pau
perized wholly or in part. And the in
dependent Boston Herald accepts the
statement without demur.
Mayor Honey, don't monkey with too
many buzz saws at once. Great Britain
is country of paupers, by no fault of
its Industrious and willing people, but
by reason of its infamous policy Of free
trade.

A I" HISTORY"

Says the Columbia (Tenn.) Daily
Herald: The youth of this sunny land
need United States history that will
speak the truth. One that will not give
all the facts on one side and all the lies
on the other One that will not speak
of the battle of Bull Run as friendly
barbecue, where a neighborly row was
gotten up and the Federal forces
slightly repulsed" and of Gettysburg as
bloody plain where the Union forces
routed the rebels with terrific slaughter,
but in the language of the oath admin
istered in our courts, the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the truth.
The man who lost one brother i'm Vir-
ginia following Lee, and another at
Shiloh following Johnston, and himself
has carried Federal lead through nearly
thirty years of life the war has embit-
tered and partly blighted, ought not to
be censured if he objects to his children
being taught at school his money sup
ports, that the sod in Virginia covered
the grave of traitor, and the Tennessee
at Shiloh flows by the unknown resting
place of a destroyer of constitutional
liberty. He can stand the pensions, the
war tariff and political ostracism, but
not the desecration of his own fireside.
The South needs history"
1t is not allowable, of course, for
Northern paper to comment on utter
ances of this kind. That would be wav-
ing the bloody shirt, which is the chief
crime known to the political calendar.
Mildly, however, and in tone not above
a whisper, the News may perhaps ven
ture to remark on a day following the
fower-strewing of the resting places of
our dead that the South can hardly Sc
cure anything worth the name of history
that shall not remind its older readers
and inform its youth that certain States,
in pursuance of plan to dissolve the
Union, once raised troops which they
called the "Army of the Confederate
States of America;" that the nation
never recognized the existence of any
Confederate States, nor did any one for
eign power; that the armies of the So
called Confederacy were regarded as
rioters or rebels by the government, and
that as such they were whipped into
unconditional surrender"
This is history and why blink it? The
part of reason is to so live as to make IL
possible to add further chapters detail
ing that having been admitted again to
the States formerly.in rebel
lion came again to take pride in con-
forming to all the provisions of the con.
stitution.
