Ii IS easy enough for the silver con-
ventlon at Chicago to settle the national
financial problem. The real financial
problem which gave them most trouble
to settle seems to have been the rent for
the hall III which they met.-Courier-

A congress OF business men, in which
all the business of the country should
be equally represented, we have not a
doubt, would make an even more dras-
tic revision of the tariff in the direction
OF revenue reform than the Democratic
congress which is to assemble next
week is likely to finally agree upon

a great demand Is made upon the
sub treasury for silver dollars to be sent
TO factory towns and paid to wage
earnerS III lieu of currency. The silver
dollar being the worst form of CURRENCY
we have, they are naturally worked off
upon the working man because he can
not help himself, but must take his
wages III whatever money he can get

Are the miners amazed and downeast
because of the slump in metals? Let
them consider the slump in wool which
they wear. and i'll wheat. which tney
eat. policy that breaks down con
down the prices of all staples and up-
sets all calculation. In order to bring
on better times the old policies must be
abandoned. They have been carried to
rulnous results. 1t is time for a
change.-Philadelpha Record.
Speed the president on to his duty,
let the towards lOiter where they NAV.
Be the wisdom of the serpent in his
brain. the glow of passion in his heart,
and God over all. Let him nail to his
bedpost the Democratic platform, aud
every night as he kneels TO pray. let his
prayer be this: Before yield word,
or blot line, may yOn woods deny me
shelter, earth home, the grave a rest
ing place, and eternal life the gates of
heaven !'-Courier journal.
The leader that has been tried and
proved. and is known. is the only leader
for crisis. Grover Cleveland has been
! chosen by the people and not by the
politicians to hold the highest office in
the land, the president of the United
States. The people know him. His
character and honesty have been tested
and proved. His views on all public
questions were spoken fearlesSly in the
earliest days of his first candidacy

1t is noteworthy that the depositors
mainly demanded paper currency in
stead OF gold. 1t has commonly been
the custom of people who were fright
ened about their deposits to insist upon
gold, and, having got the geld. to Sc
crete 1t in their private receptacleS.
Inat people who would not trust the
savings banks ShoGfd be willing to trust
the national banks shows how complete
is the confidence of the frightened de-
poSltorS III the paper currency, and how
remote they are from the sphere in
which discussions go on about the ''basis
of currency.-New York Times.
Reagan, Harrison, Stewart, Thurman
and all that class of men who want the
people to believe they are bimetalllsts
are really monOmetalliStS. That is,
their manifest effort tends to secure a
sole silver standard in the United
States. The freesaud unlimited coinage
of silver at ratio of 1G to is as sure
to sink this country to the level of Mex
leo as stone will fall to the ground.
These men are not honest currency
| men. If they were they would at once
say that they would accept q ratio of 20
or so to l, and then the people might
accept their theories. -EYening Wis

The alliance between the silver
miners and the advocates of protection
has been very close in the past. and it
Is Slow to dissolve. The more intelli-
gent protectionists, however, see that a
continuance of that alliance will cost
more than it is worth. Even free trade
loses its terrOrs for them in the face of
the ruin that is certain if the silver
mOnometallIstS have their way. Hence
they shrink from the unspeakabe folly
of accounting for the present condition
OF the country as caused by "the menace
of free trade"
