THE CRISIS SEEMS NEaR AT
HAND.


The stubborness Of Cleveland in re-
fusing TO listen to . compromise asked
by . large msjority Of his own party
In the Senate, and the fact that the
silver Democrats are about to let all
the responsibility Of refusing the car.
rying out Of the demands Of the Demo-
cratic party rest on that self constituted
misrepresentation Of their party by not
making any further attempt TO delay the
repeal bill, means the early termination
Of this extraordinary session OF Con-
gress.
The repeal Of the purchasing clause
| OF the Sherman Act means the abolish.
ment OF silver Is . standard money metal,
knocks the last support from under the
double standard, and puts this country on
the single gold standard according to the
demand of England's capitalists and
their miserable tools in this country-st
least for the time being.
While we mourn TO see silver demone.
tiled, while we deplore to see the distress
and suffering that will follow such legis-
lation tending to the re-enslavement OF
the people of this the greatest country on
earth, q nation of s~ixty-6ve millions OF
people, to the very power from which
when only a few millions we gained our
independence, and while we abhor the
venal and corrupt methods by which
such legislation has been accomplished,
. living shame on . democratic govern
ment. we are yet full OF hope for the
future. Any compromise would be at
best but . makeshift, a temporary relief,
the healing of the outside Of q cancer
while permitting the roots thereof to
enter the vitals and consume and de-
stroy the body.
The people are notwithstanding
awakening. They say that il requires
heroic measures to remedy the cancer
that is destroying this country. Thirty
years Of Republican legislation has ere.
ated tie thousands Of m~illionaires and
their corrupting methods Of to-day.
Thirty years Of Democratic professions
of loyalty to the interests Of the masses
have hurled the Republican power from
it's throne and gained for the Democrats
complete control in the executive as well
as both branches OF Congress, only to
be again betrayed by their chosen head
and his subservient vassals into the
hands Of the Shylocks.

yAI.KYRrE AND vIeILANT.

Lord Danraven has gone home. VI
course he is disappointed. He would
not have come across the ses, ct great
expense, TO make q great race unless he
had q profound conviction that the
yacht he had prepared would outsaii
any yacht on the American coast. Bot
he found q yacht waiting for him that,
in all kinds of weather, proved to be q
swifter craft than bis own. He did not
carry back the coveted cup. He is q
cool man. He took his defeat splendidly.
At the same time there is . heart down
in him, and that heart is aching, because
. man with pride enough TO make q
trial OF that kind cannot help but be
hurt when he is defeated. We think he
will frankly admit when he reaches home
that his treatment was good; that he
had q perfectly fair chance to outsail
the vigilant If he could. and that he
failed. We think, further, he will give
the advice to his brother yachtsmen that
there is no use in trying to compete, in q
craft that draws a great deal OF water,
with the American center-board. The
only thing in his favor is when the
Americans build ships to go out and
meet the buffetings Of the big seas, ships
to carry their commerce. they do not
put CENTER boards in them. So. as .
principle, his, after all, is the sounder
one. Aud still. yachts ought to be like
everything else, adapted to the purpose
for which they are built. In countries
where horseback riding is limited to an
hour before or after dinner. the saddle
in use is Of q very light character. but
in countries where men have to be in
the saddle oil day, they have to adjust
the saddle to the business. II is SO with
ships of all sizes. They ought to be
built for the purpose for which they are
designed.-Ss Sal Lake Tribune.
One cannot help admiring the true
sporting grit of the Englishmen in
maintaining an indomitable determine.
tion to wrest from US our cup made his
torical by the victory won by the old
America on August %. 1852. The gal.
LIANT schooner raced with seventeen COM
p~etitors in the regatta Of the Royal
Yacht Squadron around the Isle of
Wight, winning in ten hours and seven
teen minutes.
Not until 1870 did the English yachts
men attempt to win back the trophy.
In that year the Cambria came over, but
was defeated by the Magic. In 1885
the Puritan beat the Genests. in 1856
the Maylower outsailed the Galates, In
1887 the Volunteer defeated the Thistle,
and the international races Of 1898 have
gone into history and have demon
strated that in both ingenuity Of design
and skill OF handling vessels the credit
and the cup also are on Americas side.

UNCONDITIONAL REPEAL.

The unconditional repeal OF the pur-
chase clause Of the Sherman law seems
now assured. The Southern Senators,
led by CockrslL Vest. Harris and Walt
hall declared u was useless to continue
The eight longer, as there was no hope OF
effecting . compromise, and concluded -
vas better to submit without further
heated discussion and allow the question
70 20 TO the country. The Peoples party
Senators say that while they were will.
ing to stay with the 6ght longer, still
when the Democratic silver Senators
weakened, they were powerless to 60
on, and they justly remarked that il Wa
no funeral Of theirs. Cleveland had
called . halt in the proceedings aud or.
dered the Democrats to begin voting,
and they instantly obeyed. The Presi'
dent remarked to . New York banker
In July last that the Senate would make
. long eight OF it, but he would get away
with the repeal finally. II looks now
- though he prophesied correctly. The
President now thinks he is . great man
no doubt. He sits in his stolid tri.
umph, ignorant Of the subject he pre-.
tends to be IN expounder of. careless OF
the sufferings that will follow In the trail
Of the destruction Of silver by the repeal
OF the Sherman law. We will get no
favorable silver legislation from either OF
the old parties, because both Of them are
by the money power Of Eu.
rope and their allies In this country.
The situation looks gloomy indeed.

The New York Recorder declares

calamity which the silver Senators have
prevented were as we'll understood and

THE PRACTICAL REmEDy.

The mint reports show that the pro-
duction Of gold in the world is increas-
ing very slowly, not nearly so fast Is
the needs for ID in the arts increase, leav.
ing a decreasing moiety TO add TO the
monetary stock Of the world. The an
nual production Of gold in this country
is gradually declining, being three mill
ion dollars less 10 1892 than in 1850.
Over half Of the annual product Of
American gold is used in the arts. The
American product in 1892 was $780,
900, and that consumed in the arts in
1892 was $40, 329, 900. These figures
show that the annual addition TO our
stock Of gold coin is not great. IL BY
no means meets the increasing demands
OF trade and business, hence the continu-
Gus decline Of gold-basis prices OF COM
modities. II is evident that we must
supplement our stock Of gold money
with something. The most obvious
means for this purpose is the unlimited
use OF silver. But the increase Of the
annual production of silver is not great.
In the United States the product OF
silver is at q standstill or declininge and
silver is used largely in the arts, but not
as largely as gold. II will thus be seen
that while silver will be q ready and
good supplement TO gold coin, yet both
metals are insufficient for the monetary
uses Of the increasing population. COM
merce and business OF the world. The
Government should enact the weight
and fneness Of the gold and silver dol
lar, and the ratio OF the respective
metals to each other. Then the coinage
laws should be changed so that instead
Of purchasing metals for coinage on Gov.
eminent account, the Government should
coin both metals for individuals as it
now does gold, hand the coined dollars
to the owner Of the bullion, treating
both metals alike. Bimetsllism is like
a man walking on two feet. The de-
mand for action is always on the hind
most foot. This brings it up to the

man on one foot. He makes no progress
excep. by jerks and jumps, which shock
and derange the entire system. Gold
never meet the double demand for
e xportation and for home use as money.
The man with two feet cannot walk on
one, with the ether tied to q post. There
is but one practical remedy, namely, add
money to the circulation as the people
and their transactions increase. Labor
