RELIEF FOR THE UNEMPLOYED.

Almost every city of any size in the
United States is now wrestling with the
question OF how to afford relief to the I'M
employed. 1t Is safe to say there have
never before been so many unemployed per-
sons in the country as there are at present,
and the question of what can be done for
their relief is one of great Importance. A
very large majority Of those out of en-
ployment would greatly prefer work to
charity. They are not tramps. beggars or
loafers. They are self-respecting people. ac-
customed to work and quite able to sup
port themselves and their families If they
could get employment. Many of them are
skilled laborers who have been thrown out
of employment by the shutting down Of
factories and mills. or the cessation of
building operations, while others are ordi-
nary manual laborers. All are equally en-
titled to consideration, sympathy and such
relief as can be afforded. IF they cannot
get work they Will soon be compelled to ac-
cept charity.
sympathizers held in this city, on Friday
night, it was suggested that partial relief
might be afforded by the city giving en-
ployment to more men, If this means en-

and the principle would be altogether

THE FUTURE OF SILVER.

The representatives of the silver States
silver In the event Of the repeal of the
Sherman purchase act. One Of them pre-
diets that the price will fall to 40 cents an
ounce, or % cents less than the lowest fig
are after the unannounced close of the
minis of India. Since that fall, in spite of
the fact that the repeal of the Sherman
silver law has been anticipated, silver bull
lion has recovered half it's loss and is now
quoted at 70 cents an ounce. The day that
repeal became certain the price dropped
but 1 cent an ounce. AS matter of fact,
the treasury officials have not purchased
much over half of the amount required by
law for several months, so that a part of
the practical effect of suspension of pur-
chases has already been felt. Nor is there
any reason to assume that the minis of the
United States will never again be opened
to the coinage of legal-tender silver money
lists the people of the United States are in
favor of as much silver money as can be
carried without endangering the circula-
ton of gold. The commercial world must
have silver money. There are indications
that 1t must have more than is now in cir
culation. Indeed, one of the reasons why
an international arrangement has not been
made is that European governments have
held back in the expectation that the
United States. by adopting free silver
coinage. would give them our gold and as
sumo the whole responsibility OF silver
money. Unless Congress shall force upon
this country a tariff which will enable Eu-
rope to increase it's importation of manu-
featured merchandise to this country so
largely as to turn the balance of trade
heavily against us, thereby compelling the
export of gold to settle the adverse bal
dlt;cn to get along without adding to its
volume of silver money than is Great Brit
ain. Germany, Italy or any other European
government except France. Such men as
senator Allison ana PreSldent Andrews, or
Brown University, members of the inter-
national monetary commission, hold that
the repeal of the Sherman purchase law is
the first step to an international arrange
ment for the wider use of silver as money.
In the meantime, the low price of silver
has extended its use in the industrial arts.
In this connection it should be added that
there is no ground for the assumption that
those who favor the repeal OF the Shcr-
man law are utterly Indifferent regarding
the fate of the silver-producing States and
their leading industry. In a question be-
tween the general disaster which would
come to the country from silver monomet-
allsm and the temporary prosperity of the
silver mining interest, the latter must be
left to It's fate; but the country at large
will let no opportunity pass to promote the
interests of those States when it can be
done without danger 4i

That recently discredited leader Senator
German, assails the Republicans for max

for three or four years until the work is
completed. The Republicans are entirely
willing to assume the responsibility of that
policy, as in the three years 1t has been
In force 1t has proved to be economical.
Under the old system an appropriation was
made for the partial completion of the
work. consequently, contracts could only
be made for that year and to the limit of
the appropriation. AS 1t required as much
preparation by contractors to do one years
work as to do the whole, their bids were
much higher than If assured of continuous
appropriations until the work should be

has been completed for two-thirds of the

THEY ARE AFRAID OF LIGHT.

The Democrats in the House do not want
any light thrown on the operations Of State
banks in ante-war times. When a resolu-
ton was introduced calling on the Score
tary of the Treasury for information on
the subject several Southern Democrats
were promptly their feet to oppose it's
passage. One of them said such report
from the Secretary of the Treasury would
literature. and others declared that the
Secretary of the Treasury never had
anything TO do with State banks
and had no information on the
subject. He is in a good position to get the
Information. and there was time when it
was not thought improper for Congress to
ask him to furnish it. In July. 1882. when
Andrew Jackson was President and both
branches of Congress- were Democratic,
resolution was adopted by the House of
Representatives requiring the Secretary OF
the Treasury to report lat the next and
each successive session OF Congress- re-
turns giving a variety of information rela-
tive to State banks. In accordance with
that resolution returns were made to Con-
gress by the Secretary OF the Treasury for
every year. with the exception of FIVE from
1888 till 1863. But the State rights Demo-
Gratis Of to-day hold that the Secretary Of
tho Treasury has no right 70 know any

vigorous than he has looked for years. The
fact is Mr. Voorhees, had not occupied a
very conspicuous place In the Senate Tor
many years before the Democrats came In
power last spring. He has made speeches
at intervals which were respectfully heard
and widely read. But between times he
had not taken a very active part In debate.
and a good many people had begun to class
him with the back numbers" The discus
sion OF the silver question has brought him
into old-time prominence. IL has given him
a commanding and an active position in af-
fairs. II has shaken him up and given him
new interest in life. Ii has strengthened
him physically and mentally. His colleagues
have treated him very kindly from the be-
ginning of the discussion. They could have
harassed and annoyed HIM by personal at
tacks-by reference TO his change OF atti-
tude and suggestion about the influence OF
patronage. Doubtless IL Mr.. Ingalls, had
been here he would have made IL very live
