Congress i'm Session.

Congress convened in Washing
ton City on last Monday, and may
be in session forty or fifty days, al
though it could sit until March if
necessary. AS at present organ
lied the Democrats have a good
working majority, and should do
some good law-making while they
have a chance. On this alone de-
ponds the chance for Democracy to
regain the confidence of the people,
and have fair field in 1896. The
next Congress will stand about as
follows: Republicans 242, Demo-
Gratis 104. Populists 10. The terms
of the present congressman will not
expire until March next and the
new Congress will not meet until
the following December unless the
President should see fit to call an
extra session.

it will be seen that, while free coin
age of gold exists, there is no free
coinage of silver.
Now, it is possible to inquire in
diligently how the free coinage of
silver can make money plenty, since
the free coinage has not had that
effect. Suppose all the silver sill
yer miners in the West, and all the
other holders of silver bullion any,
where in the country or in the world,
should bring their white metal to
the various minis to have it coined,
aud it was SO coined, and this fresh
coinage should amount to a large
sum, would that make money plen-
ty-any plentier than it is? By no
means, because nobody would be
able to get any of that money. The
people who were 80 fortunsate as
to own it would not hand it out to
their friends and neighbers, any
more than banks and rich men do
to-day. The banks are stuffed full
of money, but they are not giving
it away.
It is impossible to get one dol
lar out of a bank, out of the nation
al treasury, or out of anybody's
pocket or strong box, except in the
way of business. Either we sell
something in order to get a dollar
of anybody's money, or we must
work for somebody and 80 earn it
or we must borrow it, or beg or
steal it There is no other way to
get other peoples money. 1t is
plain, then, that, the free coinage
Of silver would not put an addition
al dollar in the pockets of the peo-
pie at large. This ought to dis
pose of the foolish notion that such
free coinage would make money
plenty in the hands of the people.
The above are two items in
which it would be well for the peo-
pie to instruct themselves. A lit
tie information and some common
sense will enable anybody to I'M
derstand the situation. There are
other erroneous notions about
money generally upon which the
people ought to be informed, and
the Picayune will hereafter take
occasion to speak upon them. 1t
makes no difference whether man
is a silverite or a gold bug, he at
least wants to know the truth and
to get his fact straight It can do
only harm to bolster it up with
falsehoods.
