Inter Ocean, 80: Again the rumor
prevails that the populist senator's,

against the Senate tariff bill on is final
submission. We fear that hope is parent
of the rumor. PETER excepted, the pop.
ulist senators have been more democrat.

to the sugar trust, less regardful Of the
wool growers, less mindful OF the silver
producers, more contemptuous OF the
wage-earners, than any Of the gold
bugs" who regularly train with the
Cievelands, the Hayemeyers, the Brices,
and the regular a~ristocracy of Democ-

against the bill it will be because they
have heard very plain words from their
constituents. PETER excepted, when
moving on their W lines they have
moved against every interest Of theocom-
mon people, and especially against those
OF the farmers and miners OF the west.

There car be n question that the hot
headedness Of Eugene V. Debs has rails
ed a false issue and in the outcome of it
not only Mr.. Debs but his united labor
organizations must go down in ignomin-
ious defeat. The strike Of 1000 men at
Pullman clearly without cause was not
sufficient in itself, ven ii righteous, to
involve all the labor organizations OF the
country in a strike and throw thousands
OF men out OF employment besides block
ing the business OF the country and
causing hardship to millions entirely in
nocent OF any connection with the Pail
man strike. This is the element OF
wrong in the whole business that will
certainly work defeat to the cause of the
strikers and bring the roads out victor

tributes to the July Arena q valuable
study in comparative statistical litera-
ture, entitled "India Silver, Wheat and
Cotton" MI. Leavitt writes from a BIZ
metallic point of view, and he makes out
q strong case, showing the sympathy be-
tween the depression OF silver q. g. the
rise Of gold) and the prices OF wheat and
cotton. II is worth while for American
gold-bugs to read this opinion Of an
eminent English authority. Sir Robert
N. Fowler, the London banker, said at
the meeting of the British and colonial
Chambers OF Commerce in 1886: 1.-THE
effect OF the depreciation Of silver must
finally be- the ruin OF the wheat and
cotton industries OF America and the
development Of India as the chief wheat
and cotton exporter OF the world" 10
that same board 4. G. Fielden testified
that "wheat-all wheat-would be worth
s2.00to $3.50 per quarter more than it is
were silver at par" This is a paper for

ducers and not money lenders.
