Since you sang that sweet song.

stAhD ON SILVER.


ST. LoUIs, Ne. July l3.--Tbe Chroni
Gle publishes long letter from Congress-
Dan Bland. in which he says that in the
var between gold monometaiists and bi-
mets)ists there - no room for trimmers or
oubiers. The Sherman Law must 90, but
It's expiring breath mus, breathe life into
| gislation on lines of true bimetalism.
Mr.. Blsn,i declares that if either of the
free coinage bills which he introduced in
Congress had been passed, the silver ques
ton would have been settled. He says
further
I'VE are now brought face TO face with
the question Of total silver demonetization
in this the greatest metallic pow er tie world
ever knew. The Democratic party prom
ised first of all a reform of the tariff. Tar
IL reform is no longer talked of except
with bated breath.
The East proposes to formulate a tariff
policy on the line of the original Chicago
platform brought forward by the protection
element eff the Democratic psrty and not in
harmony with the substitute adopted by the
convention. They also propose TO repeal
the Sherman Law without granting the free
coinage part of the platform.
1T is plain TO all that our Eastern friends
played huge bunco game on the Demo
cracy of the South and West by Justify
preaching tariff reform, \ measure so popu
lar here, but at the same time intending TO
spring upon us after the election the sole
issue of silver demonetizstion. If the Re
publicans of the West and South are true
10 themselves and the interests of their
constituents, this conspiracy will not sue
ceed.
ITO repeal the Sherman law outright,
and substitute nothing for it. would precip-
tate silver panic throughout the world,
aud probably cause ifs universal demoneti-
zstion. II We ever intend to get free COIN

EUROPE WANTS OUR NAY.
An Increased Demand for American Meats
Probable In the Future.

WAsHINGToS, July l3.-The secretary
# agriculture has during the past few weeks
received many requests, some Of them di-
-cct. some through United States consuls
,broa,l, and some through the foreign lega-
ions in Washington, for information as to
lhe extent and character of this years for
g. crops in the United States.
All these communications emphasize very
markedly the shortage of hay and forage
rops in Europe and especially in France +,
md there is every evidence that very
large foreign demand at remunerative prices
will prevail for bailed hay.
From other sources il is learned at the
apartment thst hay is selling in England at
from si5 to $50 ton. At present prices
IN this country there can he little question
hat shipment of baled hay to Great Brit
,in and France would be profitable ven
ture this season.
The shortage in the lssi-named country
If hay ard forage crops has reached such =
point that many cattle have hal TO be
langbtered, and it would therefore seem
probable that the conditions now prevalent
on the continent of Europe will result in an
increased demand for American meats in
the near future in addition to the present
Iemand for American hay.
