Our distinguished and highly esteemed fellow citizen, the Hon. Daniel W. Jones, has seen fit to remarl, that if there could be a change in the Little Rock post office the cause of trce silver would have another organ. This leads te an observation that might as well be made now as at any time. The editor of The Democrat" will surrender his views on silver at any time when convinced that they are not sound and do not ac- cord with q wise tinancial policy. But holding his present opinions, he will most cheertully surrender inc postoiiice rather than change them for office.
 The above we find in late issue ut the Ar>aasas btm9erat; and if the language attributed to Col. Dan. W Jones, was used by him he shonld be. and no doubt now k, heartily ashamed ot II. Such insinualions are but the stock ar- gumens of demagogues and shis:ers and Col. Jones is man ol too big brain and pure heart to 1elib- erately make such an unjustiiab!e thrust at one of Arkansas 10 blest patriots.
 The editor of the Democrat may be wrong, and we believe he is, ih lis views on the silver question, but to intimate that his views up- On that important question Is in the least influenced by the govern ment position which he holds i, extremely silly.

The Carreney Problem.

Congressman Springer is at
 Washil gton looking over the sit nation with the President and the Secretary of the Treasury. Mr. Springer has been member ot Congress the past twenty years and is Chairman of the Banking and Currency Committee. He be- !eyes there wall be any number of schemes for the enlargement of the currency presented to Con- gress during the short session, but does not think any of them will be adopted. A half dozen proposi- tions having for their object the expansion of the circulating me dunn are iu the hands oi the com mitee of which Mr. Springer is chairman, but none of them stand any chance of being tavorably re
 ported to the House, and notwith- standing the report that the Presi- dent will devote the greater part of his message to the question of currency reform, Mir. Springer in. ssts that Congress will ignore the subject altogether Whatever re- commentators Mr. Cleveland may make regarding the currency will be referred 10 Mr. Springer's committee. and if the chairman is really in earnest in opposing all attempts to further agitate tine question, Mr. Clevelard's sug- eestions are likely to meet with a cool reception So far as the Bank ing and Currency Committee is concerned. All Mir. Springer looks for is the creation of d Cur reney Commission, which will be composed of bankers, merchants and experts, to he appointe by the President. The Commission will he expected to ascertain the character of currency the country wants and report the result ot it's inquiries to the Fifty-fourth Con- gress. The more thorough the in- vertigalon of the commission may be, Mr. Springer believes, the mere tertaln will it be found that n very small portion of the coun- try is in favor of free silver. Mr. Springer says that if it had not been for the fear throughout the country that the Democratic party would put the United States on
The Monticellonian., 1894-11-23

free silver bhsis the defeat would not have been so overwhelming. This may Lave been so in Ohio and Nebraska and in one or two other States, but 1t was not the case in Illinois, and in the district in which Mr. Springer was defeat ed. But there will be no agitation of the tree silver question during the remainder of the present scs- sion ef Congress and there will he very lhile, if any, during the Fifty fourth Congress. With Repub- hcan Senate and House and n Democratic President opposed to free silver, the Democratic repre- sentative who makes fight for the free and unlimited cofragv Of the white metal will waste great deal Of valuable time that might be put 10 better use. The finan. cial policy of the Democratic par ty ought to be definitely settled and probably will be before the adjournment ot the present Con- gress.-Arkan$as Gdzettr.
 We agree with our contemporary that the financial policy ought to be deffiitely settled by the Demo cratic party before another cleo ton, and we further believe that 1t will be settled in favor of the free coinage of silver at 16 to in Fpite Of all the opposition that can be brought to bear by the goldites. The Democratic party IS the party of the people and there is little doubt but that the masses need the free coinage oi silver.

More Money is What We Need

That the money supply, in the United Staies, is limited and in- sufficient k well known to every informed mind and is conceded by all, except ihe few who own and control what money We have. This being a soIf-ceident r1opo sition, what k tbc dIty of the Gov ernment to the subjects2 Give them more money! would be the rational answer; but how is the best way for this to he done? is the question that seems to per plex. Mr. Cleveland and his Sec retary incline to the opinion that to borrow more money and to go deeper and deeper in debt is the easiest way out of the trouble, and we confess that such a course, if carried far enough, would bring temporary reliof-just an an opiate will relieve pain. But this IS by no means cure, and when the narcotic influence has suhsid- ed the patient is i'll worse con dition than ever. Now if we could find something that would relieve the patient aud cure him at one and the same time 1t would be better; and tnis, we think, can be easily done with our financial condition, serious as it IS, by the immediate free and unlimited coinage of silver. Such course wonld give to the country as much again redemption money as it now has and with such basis credit money could then be eiren- lated in sufficient volume, 10 sup ply all necessary demands.
 To meet the objection raised by the monometalists that the free and unlimited coinage ot both the money metals would give too great T supply, and thus depreci- ate the price of silver, (which is always classed the more abund- anD ii such thing ever did hap pen, wc suppose the American Congress could take care of such Ill emergency when it came up. But all this talk of an over crop Of money is the merest rot and is made altogether In the interest of the few and against the many. If all the gold ana silver that + known To civilization were coined into dollars there would then not he an1thing like enough of it to ao the business of the world on. by itself alone, and would be none loo much IS money of ultimate redemption. Give ns free silver and let us try il once more.

THE dispatches of last week all' nonnco that there is move on foot between the Rothschilds, Rockafeller and lew other mil lio airs to form a syndicate for ihe purpose ot purchasing and controlling all the silver mines of the United States and Mexico. Do tnese astute hnanciers read anything in the signs of the times? IL may be that they expect aa early remonitization of the white metal and want to get il on the ground floor, and realize about tYe for one on their purchase. It iS an indication, to say the least of II, that these men think there is som ething in silver, more than 1t is developing at present, else they would not be so anxious to eet- ,rol 1t.

called, were nothing more or less than Popnlists with whom the Re puhlicans con bined for the pur- pose of overthrowing the Demo cracy of that State. They assum- ed the name of J Jeffersonian Dem ocrats, believing that by sailing under false colors they might be able to capture the votes of 8 greater or loss number of mem- bers of the party they hoped to defeat In thoir efforts to carry out their iniquitous purpose they received substantial aid from Northern Republicans in the shape of large contributions of money. The ma jority of the A labamians being loyal Democrats, refused to desert their party and voted for Oates tor Governor and elect ed him. The Kolbites, ever since the election, have declared that they would take possession of the State House and by force of arms install their candidates into office. This they have wisely concluded not 10 do. They now demand that the Legislature shall enact a new election law, and in the event that it should fail to do so they propose to appeal 10 the Federal Government to assume control of the elections in that State. Their demand for Federal interference IS equivalent to an endorsement of the Federal election laws which they desire should be reenacted, and also that the Force Bill should
 be enacted into law. The Repub- licans of Alabama and of other Southern States have always been in favor of extreme measures of this kind, without the enforcement of which they were never able to
 obtain political control of any portion of the South. The Alaba- ma Populists need the votes of the Republicans in order to obtain as- sistance in their elections from abroad and by inviting Federal aid to overthrow Democracy have notified the Republicans that they stand ready to assist them in any scheme whose object is to defeat Democracy in the South. They are willing that bayonets should be used to drive the party of the majority out of power if necessary. In their resolutions adopted at Montgomery they declare that it is their belief that their request for the enactment ot a new election law will be ignored, and that they are in favor of the Federal Con gress taking the necessary steps to control the elections. Should their appeals to Congress prove as intellectual as their votes in the elections, then they propose, to use their own language-"to rise in their majesty and by force take the Govern ment into their own hands" The Jefferson Demo- crats," or Kolbites as they are best known, have really resolved to be Populists and have agreed to do the bidding of the Republi- can party. Their action on Mon day Tn thelr convention at Mont gomery cannot fail to open the eyes of the well.meaning members of the party who must either be Republicans or Democrats. The Populists of Alabama have practi- cally surrendered to the enemies of the South. To accomplish that yearning desire for office, their leaders must rely in the future up on the votes of Republicans. and th e Alabamians will never reach that point when they will be will ing to surrender their State to the Republican party.-Ark. Gasette.

weakening op MeKinleyism.

WcdReHlHS dD McAlnleylsm.
 Thcre is evidently disposition among Republican leaders not to allow Hon. William Mckinley 10 gather any fresh laurcls from the late elections. Several of them have already served notice that the resnlt must not be regarded as signityins an indorsement of or a return to McKinleyism. Senator Sherman. rom McKinley's own State, probably makes the dearest and strongest statement on this head. In q published interview since the election, he said:
 1 do not regard the present re- suit IS an endorsement of tn Me Kinloy bill or a demand on the part ot the people for radical tariff legislation. There will undoubt- edly be some members who will regard it as such, but 1 hardly be licve the party will enter into any extreme Legislation of this kind. l would not favor any great in- crease of duties. On the stump in the campaign l said very plainly that 1 was moderate protection ist. and wanted only such duties as would insure fair rate of wag- es for the workingmen of this country. l believe in so placing the duties as to allow q healthy foreign competition. If should see that any duty was making a monopoly, would take that duty off. The Republicans went to an extreme on the question in 1890, because they had absolute control of all branches of the government. If there had been any check, they would not have done SD.
 Such language as thls, following hard upon the utter rout at the polls of the party that repealed the Mckinley act, shows that the coolest and most saCacious of Re publican statesmen have not for gotten the lessons of go and '92, nor misunderstood the lesson of '9f. Mr. Sherman understands that in the elections of '92 and '94 the people deliberately and by an rwhelming majority repudiated McKinleyism, N and he further ad- mits that 1t was righteous con- demnation of great wrong. Despite the overwhelming majoity for the authors 0. the Mckinley bIli, he knows that the people have not voted to restore that law The late elections, indeed, differ rom thos. of two and four years ago i'll that they do not voice the deliberate judgment of the people upon any distinct issue. Two years ago the people dell hberately and understandingly voted their condemnation ofthe Mckinley act. The recent elections were simply the vote of blind anger and disap- poihtment. Ii the Republicans follow the Wise and sagacious lead ership of Sherman, they will pass ivel y aequiesee in the tariff chang es made by the Democratic party, and thus attempt to stay all furth- CT agitation. But while it would be fatal to the Republican party and to protection to undo the work of the Democratic party, and thus attempt to stay all turth- CT agitation, it will be equally fatal to let it re- main. The practical and bencfi- cent results of the Wilson bill will refute the islanders of it's enemies, dispel the artificial terrors with which 1t has been surrounded and create demand for further and longer advances toward free trade. -Commereiat-Appeal.

The South Arkan as Fair.

The outlook of the Fair at War ren, II is a thing of the past.
 Eight annual fairs have been held,
 but the ninth will hardly be. It is
 with deep regret that we make
 this announce to our readers
 for Tn 1t the telling of the doing away with an institution put on
 foot eight years ago by the enter
 Prising public spirited citizens of Bradley county to foster and en- courage agriculture and to bring
 about closer social relations be- tween the people of the county. The intelligent observer wiII not say that the object sought in the establishment of the Fair at War,
 ren was total failure. While all that Was anticipated may not and
 doubtless was not realized vet much good has been the result of these annual fairs. The causes of q greater good not having been ac- complished are meny; too nnmer- ous to meLtion and 1t k not our purpose at this time to aIlude to them in detail. To the mistakes of the management is to be added the lethargy an.l lack ot interest by majority of the people of the country. The novelty of these annual exhibitions wore away af- ter one or two fairs had been held and many went into the fairs and exhibited at them for what they could make out of them and this done, their interest ceased.
 At the Stockholders meeting held at the Court house last Fri day evening all these matters were freely discussed and it was decided that the people did not want to continue the Fair any longer, and that while they felt this way 1t was useless 10 try to keep ii alive and the meeting re- suited in the appointment of committee, which IS authorized to sell the grounds and all other pro. perty belonging to the Association to pay it's debts, amounting to a little more than a thousand dollars. This Committee is to report pro- gress to meeting of the directors to be held Saturday next at D. m. If any person or EerS onS can be found who will agree to take the property and pay of the debts the sale will be made. If this can e done, what disposition otthe prop erty or for what purpose it will be used Tn future no one can surmise, There was d strong disposition in the Stockholders present to wind up the affairs of the Association in a way that all outstanding debts should be paid and in this way re- licve the Association of the odium of repudiating any just claims against it.
 As we said in the outset, we re- gret to make this announcement, for we know that deep regret is felt by a number of enterprising who would gladly come forward and subscribe new stock sufficient to tide the Fair over if they had any assurance that the | people could be induced to take m interest in 1t in the future, but 50 little hope have they in this, hey reluctantly consented to Il winding up of the affairs of the lsso citation upon the plan outlined tbove.
