The Democratic Silver Program

So we are to have a free-coinage
bill reported as soon as possible, Mr.
Bland declares, and doubtless passed
by the House. In the Senate the
prospect is against such bill, and
yet, in view of the formal action of
Alliances in some states, it might
have a majority. But the business
world is undisturbed, because it has
faith in President Harrison. He
stands like rock for sound money.
and no one imagines that he would
consent under any circumstances to
sign bill for unlimited coinage of
silver. His latest message holds
that the country ought to give fair
and full trial to the silver act passed
last year. If the President sends in
a veto it will be a powerful argument
and a ringing appeal to the friends
of honest money. Beyond a doubt
it will be sustained in the Senate.
Then a sharp issue will be made for
the next presidential campaign, |
which is just what the Crisp Demo
Gratis want.
Their tactics make silver the main |
issue next year They see that the
Farmers Alliance will make Demo- |
cratic success impossible in several
Southern states by running a third
ticket unless the main body of Ali
ance voters, namely, those who are
fanatically anxious for more money,
can be drawn to the Democratic side |
by some positive act! A vote for UNI
limited coinage followed by a veto,
these Democrats reason, would cap
ture for them the sympathy of so
many Alliance men at the South that
no third ticket would be run unless
where it would do, Democrats no
harm. On the other hand, they rea-
son that the Alliance Republicans at
the West who want more money, and
particularly free silver, will go back
to their old party in body, unless a
sharp issue is presented on which
their sympathies are with the Demo-
Gratis.
To keep the South and win any
thing atthe West, according to this
theory, free-coinage bill has become
an imperative necessity. It's not ex-
pected to become a law; in fact, the
help of many Democratic members
Is expected on the ground that
the bill cannot become a law.
and so their votes can do no
harm and they run no risk while
helping their party to success. 1t is
needless to discuss the honesty of
such policy. 1t is plainly the poll
cy which the Crisp Democrats are go
ing to force on the party if they can,
OF nd IL |
command a large majority of the !
House. The Republican party is ex-
eeedinglv willing to meet this issue !
before the people. All it has to ask ;
is that the industries and trade of !
the country shall be harmed as little
as possible by a protracted debateli I
while the question is pending in Con :
gress. After that the Democrats will :
see how wise they have been. New :

OUR NATIONAL FUTURE.-MOre ano
more the eyes of the world turn to
the United States for the signs OF
coming progress, and our country
moves forward with a momentum
hitherto unknown in the history OF
nations. This position of honor is
also one of responsibility. The great
body of our citizenship is patriotic
and clear headed, versed in knowl-
edge, and skilled in the arts and in
dustries.
No one can foretell what emergency
may be in store for any people. but if
they are sound at the core they will
meet every event with honest inten-
lions and energy OF character. The
past has brought no crises to the
masses of this republic to which they
have proved unequal, and they have
been tried by fire as perhaps. no 9th
er nation has ever been. With this
record to inspire us, we can step
along into 1892 with confidence that
all will be we'll as long as we are true
to American manhood and to the
genius of our institutions.-Cin

FARM TOR SALE !

Owing to the advancing years of
my father, l have purchased the
farm owned by him for many years
past, near Hyde Park village: Hav
ing neither time nor ability to car
ry It on properly, l will sell it at
much less than its value.
To those who are acquainted
with the place no commentator
IS necessary. For the benefit of
those who are not, say it is one of
the best farms on the Lamoille
River. 1t has a meadow nearly or
quite one mile in length, and
nearly as level as a floor. 1t was
in fair state of cultivation when
purchased by my father, and du-
ring the many years that he has
owned it he has been constantly
improving it, until it is to-day one
of the most fertile farms on the
Lamoille River. The dwelling is
a good two-story house, in an ex.
ccllent state of repair and pleas
antIy located, and the barns are
fair. 1t would cost $500 at least
to build the buildings to-day.
The larger part of the farm is
in MOrrIstown, where taxes are
comparatively low. The balance
lies contiguous to Hyde Park vii.
Iage, where there is an academy,
court house, two banks, printing
office, steam mill, hide house, and |
sundry stores, railroad depot, etc., |
all of which are within n to Il |
mile of the farm. The place is
now offered for $4,000. 1t was
sold a few years since for $4,000
1t contains 200 or zig acres, but
if desired will reserve a part of it.
Terms for payment will be made
easy to any one who can either
pay or secure $1,000
