The New York Sun says that
the free coinage Of silver would
mean q higher price for wheat,
cotton, beef, pork and, in fact, all
the products Of this country and
argues that the laboring classes
ought to oppose the unlimited
coinage of silver on the ground
that it would make the cost of their
living higher. A higher price for
the products Of the country is just
what the silver men are advocat-
ing. We produce much more
than we consume and it is not to
the interest of this country to ship
wheat to England at 60 cents a
bushel when we could get twice
that amount. Cotton growers
would be more prosperous if, in
stead of getting Z cents a pound
for their cotton, they could get 10,
and it is the same way all through
the list Of products. The laboring
classes know very well that an in
crease in the price of products
means an increase in wages. The
wheat grower can afford to pay
more for labor to put in and har-
vest his wheat when it is selling at
Sl40 a bushel, as it was just be-
fore the demonstration Of silver,
than he can when he has to sell it
at 60 cents a bushel, and the same
rule will apply all through the
list. When we assist in reducing
the price of our own products in
order to allow foreigners to buy
them at low prices, we are impov-
erishing ourselves just for the sake
ofbenefttingthe people ofotherna-
tions. We are feeding their labor
ers with u cheap produce in or
der to enable them to compete
with us for the trade of the world
and in addition we are selling
them our silver at such a price
that they can and do use it for
speculative purpose. It is time
for us to discontinue this short
sighted policy and make foreigners
pay for what they get.

IT viii be several days before

silver viii be going on just the
same as it will after the house is
ready for work. There is hardly
a doubt but that Crisp will be re-
lected speaker and silver men all
over the country will await with
interest the announcement of the
committees. If the speaker fol-
lows the precedents established in
the naming Of committee chairmen
he will put Bland at the head of
the committee on coinage, weights
and measures, but it has been in
timated that the Craftsmanship of
this committee will not be given to
Bland, but to some one who is in
favor Of the repeal Of the Sherman
law without the enactment of any
substitute in its place. In short,
the committees are to be formed
with reference TO the views Of the
President on the monetary ques-
ton. 1t remains TO be seen wheth-
or Crisp will violate all prece-
dent in this matter or not.

THE silver convention in Chica-
go last week proved very conclu-
siyely that the people residing in
the silver producing states are not
the only ones who are interested
in the passage of a free coinage
law. 1t proved that there are
more than two millions out of the
seventy millions of people in this
country who want free coinage and
some of the weak kneed congress-
men may be influenced by the con-
vention. There gre members of
congress who are always DESTROYS
of being on the strong side and
the monometallists have left no
stone unturned to show that the
gold side of the monetary question
is the strong side, but the conven-
ton of lest week did more to dis
prove this than all the other oc-
c~urrences of the year. The news

teryiew with Senator Stewart in
which he was made to say that he
regarded the repeal of the Sher.
man law as certain and that there
would be no silver Legislation

view was a pure fabrication and
the senator has denied that he was
interviewed at all by any one con.
nected with the World. Such are
the methods employed to create
public opinion in favor of the mo
nometallist side Of the question

Terence V. Powderly, the official
head of all the organized laborers
in the country, said at Chicago
last week that the laboring classes

If this congress does not pass a
free coinage bill, there will be
one elected a year from next

COLORADO is sending her unem-
ployed miners and laboring men
east in the hope that they may
find work IN the harvest fields but
with wheat at a price which will
not pay for cutting aud threshing
and getting it to market there is
little prospect for finding work.
Where wheat growers turn their
hogs into the wheat fields to let
them do their harvesting there is
not much show for a man out of
employment to get work at any
wages.

Carlisle has adopted a new plan.

Der of republican clerks and will

The provisional government of the

titled in treating with it. To have

THERE are a few hundred editors
in this country who ought to make
the acquaintance of the fool killer.
They are ranting about the payment
of pensions to the poor old verter-
ans in silver dollars that are only
worth 55 cents. Readers Of these
papers who have sense enough to
come when it rains smile softly to
themselves when they read such
items and think what philanthro-
pists these editors must be when
they howl about cheating the de-
tenders of the country and then
take silver dollars at par for sub
scriptions and advertisements.
There isn't a paper in this country

and 50 cent dollars that does not

LAST Sundays food showed
more forcibly than has ever been
shown before the necessity Of some
provision for carrying the food
waters, which so frequently come
down the streets Of this city, off by
some means which will not I'M
peril the lives and property of
people who reside or do business
in that part Of the town east of
Billiard street. A large Aume
might be built down either Hud-
son or Main street which would
carry off all, or nearly all, Of the
flood water which comes
down the three principal streets of
the city. Hudson street was aban-
doned by vehicles Of all kinds ex-
cept railroad trains when the track
of the Atchison, Topeka and San
to Fe was laid there and a large
hume could be constructed down
that street without detriment to
the traffic passing over it. The
fume might be built under the
track or on either side of it and of
a capacity sufficient to carry off all
the water which ordinarily comes
down the streets. The surplus, in
case of a big food, could flow down
the streets without endangering
life or property or damaging the
streets to any appreciable extent.
The cost of such a hume would be
considerable, but when once com
pleted it would put an end to the
constant drain on the taxpayers of
the city which is necessary to keep
the streets in repair. Either some
such plan as this will have to be
adopted or that part of town with
in the boundaries mentioned will
have to be abandoned sooner or
later.
