there is a divergence of projectiles to
the left due TO the earths rotation, and
in firing due north the divergence is to
the right. The extent of the pull"
varies at different points on the earths

4 UINEU POLIIIC1L SIITIIION

In an article on the "ParadOxcS o. Politics.
our Democratic contemporary. "ThC Ncw-l Ork
sun" points ont some Of the complexities of
the present political situation and the dill
entities which confront the Democratic major
ity in Congress in dealing with them. 1t
offers no solution for any Of them, but OK
presses lis confidence that "upon the sagacity
patriotism and sound judgment Of the existing
Democratic Congress the people OF the cOun-
try can unhesitatingly and scIcncly rely" The
ingenious usefulness of our contemporary il
only one Of its many very charming traits.
The difficulty one sometimes experiences in
distinguishing It's seriousness from its satire
only lends an added zc,t 10 its always enter
tanning pages In the present instance il points
out that the first duty which dcvolycs upon a
Democratic Senate called i'll extra session by
a Democratic President for the avowcd pur-
pose of repeating silver legislation favored by
the Populists, who in the last election were
the most potent allies of the Democracy, will
be TO act in several contested election cases
in which the choice must be made between
Republicans and Popuists. To repeal the sill
yer legislation the friends Of the President re-
ouc the aid of the Republican contestants.
Republicans will be to turn against the allies
." who aided so much in the West in the Re
publican overthrow, and made Democratic
success certain in the South by returning to
the ranks of the party at Il time when those
ranks had been seriously weakened by defcc-
tons"
Another complication arises from the fact aS
"rhc Sun" states il, that when the Force bill
had passed the House in $50 " il was the pro-
silver Senators who came nobly to the rescue
of the impcrilod Democracy and by their votes
blocked the further progress of the inquty."
This puts the party under obligations TO the
pro- silver Republicans against whom, if the
Administration programme is To be carried
out. its whole weight must be thrown. The
party of the Administration. in order to carry
the measure for which the extra session has
been specially called must strike hands with
the Republican Senators "who in the Force
bill crisis so bitterly assailcd Democratic prin-
ciples and candidates, parting company in 50

United States have operated with tremendous
force 10 assist Great Britain and Germany IN
breaking down the use of silver in other coun-
tries. II would seem as if these gentlemen did
not believe that any suffering or prostration OF
business. no matter how severe, could ever
convince foreign Powers that decentralization
of silver is unwisc and that the worlds pros
pcrity would be promoted by larger use OF
that metal. Yet it is constantly argued that
the pro,tlation which is felt abroad does result
from the diSllsc Of silver, and that other ma
tions recognize the fact in their official reports
and otherwise.
The idea that the United States alone is able
to control the price of silver for the whole
civilized world seems almost too grotesquc to
be seriously entertained by intelligent men IN
the light of recent experience. When this
country began TO take out OF the world 5 mar
kct more silver than it had previously pro-
duccd leaders on the silver side declared with
cmphasis that this would lift silver to its old
value and keep it there. Yet the worst de-
cline ever known has since resulted. Men
seem to forget that the artificial demand at
once increased the production of silver in this
and other countries. They now reason that
the purchase anu SlOIlHS VI ihilo w
have the desired effect only because the bull
ion WAS not coined. But it is hard for any
ordinary person to see how the three hundred
and thirty millions Of silver coin lying idle In
the Treasury can have radically different
effect upon the market from like value OF
silver bullion lying idle in the Treasury.
The course of silver men at this time tends
10 strengthen the belief that silver is grad
dcmonctized not by the conspiracy of this
Government or that, but by the wants and the
advancing methods Of the worlds growing
commerce. Silver is di>u,cd, exactly as stage
coaches and scythcs and spinning wheels and
tallow candles are diSuScd not because any
bodv con>pircs but because the world finds
more convenient way of making its vastly IN
crcasing exchanges. Gold com is likewise dis
used TO "A considerable extent for the same
reason In order to restore both metals to
more equal and general use some means con-
sistcnt with the worlds progress in monetary
methods will have to be found for employing
both rs n basis of the credits with which nine
tcnths of the payments arc made in the CIVIL
izcd world
