The silver in. a United states coin passes

Because the redemption power of the
government is not in gold, but in he pro

manufactured products. So long as the
earth yields and SO long as its people are
skilled in the arts so long will the re

This puts the case as it is,
The vain. efforts of the Democratic ma

The Hawaiian revolution itself was a
good deal of a tempest in a teapot.

a deadlock which blocks revision, entails
CT ormous losses upon the people and even
invites panic. Compared with these

What the people are paying to the
monopolies under the Mckinley bill
would soon buy all the coal lands in the
country.
Speaking of the result of the Alabama
election, the New York Times Oem.). |
says:
There is lesson in this for those who
palter with fusion movements in which |
principle is sacrificed to what is fancied
to be .expediency, for those who fear to
people. and for those Who put personal |
ends or factional interests above consid- |
erations of public welfare and that party |
advantage which comes from winning the
confidence of the people. 1t shows the |
value Of union in party efforts and is cal |
culated to encourage Democrats all over |
the country.
1t does encourage the Democrats and in |
the Same degree it disgrantles the Re
pubicans. AS for the Populists it gives |
them the cold chills.
Speaking of the gold reserve the st. |
Louis Globe-Democrat Rep). says:
The increase in revenue means. of |
course, in some degree a larger influx of |
gold into, the treasury. for there is no

What law was it that restricted the gov

That which kept this continent out of |
the horrible vortex of ruinous competi- !
ton with rags and starvation was the
out of the worlds market. 1t created a |
hcme market, in which the standard of |
human life in decency was set as IA start |
irg point. because the products of pauper
ism were eXcluded.-N. Y. Commercial |

Then why does not this protective tariff |
revive this stagnant home market?
With a man as able, conservative and
patriotic as Governor Oates in Alabama,
and with Governor Turney, equally able |
conservative and patriotic in Tennessee,
where ne will doubtless be elected in No
Hember, the backbone of the Popuist tide |
is broken, and the fortunate feature of |
the victory is the fact that business Re
publicans cut loose from party ties TO
maintain honest government in both
states.-Philadelphia Times.
The backbone of Populism deserved to
be broken 1t is a nondescript.
The Democratic majority in Alabama,
with every county except two heard
from, is $4,000, or more than double what
have majority of fifty on joint ballot

ment. This result, following the defeat
of the RepubIican-Populst fusion in
Tennessee, will Put unprincipled coali

The Republican-Populist gains in the
South are not calculated to terrify the
Democracy.
It's too much to presume that Senator
