Ciamor About the sherman Law,

II would be difficult to imagine a
more ridiculous spectacle than that
which is presented by the organs OF
the Democratic party In their frantic
attempts to humbug the people into be-
lieving that the Sherman law is re-
sponsible for the paralysis Of credit
and the closing Of factories. Last fall
these same organs were loudly assail-
ing the Mckinley tariff. The Sherman
law, though in full operation, was not
nm issue and there vas no effort to
make it an issue. II the law Is as ruin
ous to commerce as the Democrats now
declare It to be, why were they silent
Democrats in Congress refuse to per-
init its repeal at the last session? The
Democratic howl against the Sherman
law is demagogy Of the most contempti-
bla kind.

Congress is again son." wit

Congress is again son, with great
uncertainty as to the out come. The
general opinion is that the extra ses-
sion will be protracted, running into
the time of the regular meeting in
December, and being marked by bit
ter strife on the questions of the cur
rency and the tariff; but few promi-
nent public men predict a compare
lively short session, at which only
financial legislation will be attempted.
Among the latter class is Vice Prcsi-
dent Stevenson; but, as stated, the
preponderance of sentiment is that no
adjournment will be reached before
the time of regular assembling, and
that meantime the fractional fights
among the dominant party leaders on
the part of the money question will
prevent any important legislation
before the close of the year.

lines

Farmers are constantly in need of
the use of highways to transport their
property and to move themselves
from place to place. The average
farmer is five miles distant from the
nearest railway station, and his surplus
produce must be moved that distance
year after year. If he were to COM
pute the saving that he and his neigh
bors would have by reason of first
class roadways, they would discover
that it would amount to more than
the expense of putting the roads in
good condition and keeping them so.

POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

True sentiments OF western democracy
the other day in the House of Rep
resentatives when he told Eastern
Democrats that if they persisted in
debasing silver the Democrats of the
west would part company with them.
This we know to be the case, and
the fact is that as party, the De-
mocracy in the western states is al
ready but memory. Old Cleveland's
style don't take out this way, and
when the time for next election rolls
around, if one of his stripe is nomi-
mated, there cannot be enough Demo
Gratis found in Idaho to fill up the cleo
toral ticket.
The same is true of the Republican
party, and even such life long ''stay-
ers" as Governor Mcconnell in his
address the other day at Ketchum be-
fore the silver convention, said that
if the present congress didn't do some
thing to remove the present strain, all
those in favor Of free coinage must
join hands with the political party
favoring silver and set every other
issue aside. That kind of talk has
the true metallic ring to it and will be
appreciated by all true friends of sill
YER The Governor has been member
of The Republican party all his life
and a strong partisan, but if his party
cannot succeed, except on lines marked
out by combination Of New York
and London money sharks, he is will
ling to quit it, The Governor is not
alone in this advance movement in
the cause of silver and humanity, but
he has the whole Republican party Of
Idaho with him.
This political upheaval is not con-
fined to Idaho alone, but extends
throughout the trans Mississippi
states, and will soon spread far on to
the Atlantic. Every day the great
cause is being reinforced by converts
who are opening their eyes to the
situation, and once they have heartily
espoused the cause of silver they will
have no further use for their betray-
ers, the Democratic and Republican
parties. Were it not for cowardice
and greed, a free coinage bill could
be carried through congress any day.
There are too many members of con-
gress, whose constituencies favor re-
monetlzation, who are too cowardly
to do their duty, through fear of los
ing their prestige with the President
in the dispensation of federal patron
age, while another class, such as mer-
chants, manufacturers and the like.
fear humiliation from the gold bugs
were they to raise hand against their
thleving schemes. Such fellows as
these deserve to be the principals of
tar and feathering bees, or neck tie
sociables on their return to their con-
stituencies, for man that will cast
his vote in congress or elsewhere to
make the burdens of the wage Garner
and producer harder to bear is unfit
to be tolerated in any community.
While the people of Idaho have
done much for the cause of silver,
there is much to be done yet. Let
there be meetings ut every school
house, adopt strong conservative res
olutions and forward them to our
members of congress. They want
them. They are waiting for them.
Let them be furnished. When our
people have done this, and in the
future, should harsher measures be
necessary, itcannot be charged against
us that we failed to make our wants
known.
