A DIsauIETrNG AGITATION.

So long as there is any considerable
agitation in favor of legislation which
would unsettle the value of investments,
that business activity which is born
of full confidence will not come to us.
Investors will hold back; capital. which
must precede all else in starting new
enterprises which will give employment
TO labor and quicken the demand for
the PRODUCTS of industry. will not come
out of its hiding place. Men who own
it will not put money as good as gold
into enterprises so long as there is the
least danger that Congress will change
the standard Of values so that silver
will become the measure. Institutions
controlling a store of the worlds money
will not risk ii in investments which
may lose half its value in a free-silver
coinage law. 1t is the possible fear of
such an event which is .still sending
American securities home. The noise
which the advocates of free coinage
make is confusing to those who do not
appreciate the significance OF the differ
ence between a declaration for free COIN
age in 81 Democratic convention in Colo
RADIO and one against it in Ohio. So
many men Of accurate methods have
not yet learned 10 discount the claims
of the silverites that they entertain
vague doubts as to the future.
All the other conditions are as favor
able as they can be until the tariff shall
be equitably revised. That will not be
until after Mr.. Cleveland's term ex-
pires. But the country knows that no
further steps will be taken toward free
trade. and that whatever tariff legisla-
ton may be had during the next two
years will be to strengthen American
interests. This assurance goes a long
way to restore that confidence which is
the basis of prosperous times. If these
conditions could now be followed by
a cessation of the clarnor of the advo-
period of prosperity would set in which
would continue for years. 1t is not
that there Is a possible chance for the
passage of a free-silver coinage law aft
er 1896. Whatever danger there may
nave been in that direction has passed.
In fact, the idea that it Is essential to
the interests of all the people that this
country shall adhere to the money of
the commercial world was never so
strong as now, and it is gaining strength
daily. Thanks to the intelligence of
the American people, the demagogic ag-
itator never had so little influence as
to-day. Still, the agitation of the free
coinape of silver is a disnuietinp ele-
ment, and all who have the prosperity of
the people at heart should strive to sup
press it for the same reason that they
would strive to stifle the agitation Of
the heresy of fiat money.

A few days ago Secretary Morton de-
cided to abolish the sugar experiment
stations in Kansas, which were estab-
lished by the government two or three
years ago to determine the question as to
the possible profit to farmers in the
cultivation of the sugar beet and to de-
velop the production of all domestic
sugars. His method of disposing of
them was the one of selling
the machinery for old junk. This pro-
ceeding has not met with the approval
which he seemed to expect. On the
contrary, it created much surprise,
people who were acquainted with the
work of the stations being convinced
that the results were of great value.
They recall the fact, too. that Secre-
tary Morton himself, in his report for
the year 1898, warmly commended the
work and urged it's continuance. In
quisitive and indignant Kansas citizens
are asking where he obtains the authori-
ty to arbitrarily abolish institutions es-
tanned by congressional appropriation.
They also desire to know where he gets
the right to virtually give away govern
ment property. He has not yet an
swered many of these questions, and
probably will scorn to do so, but doubt
less his action grows out Of the feeling
characteristic of the Cleveland admin
istration that the country is his oyster

agricultural interests are concerned.
