tary conference, in the fact that Mr.. Bal
four will exercise great authority in the
Salisbury cabinet. The mistake of the
silverites is in persisting in the idea that

of politics, instead of being, as it is, a
question of economies

An Object Lesson.

II doesn't take very long for an earnest
and sincere seeker for the truth, after ex-
aiming the silver question. to make up
his mind that this country could make no
greater mistake than to adopt free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 to l. Reason and common sense tell
him that to abandon sound money for a
debased silver currency would be the hight
of folly
Hon. j. II. Dowdie, prominent citizen
of Mississippi, who was inclined TO favor
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
by this country alone, has had an object
lesson which has convinced him that free
and unlimited silver coinage would
bring great disaster upon the
country. He is at present in
Mexico, and has written a letter
to Hon H. NJ. Street, one of his Missis-
sippi neighbors and friends, stating some
of the effects of free silver coinage in
that country. In the course of his letter
he says:
You will doubtless remember that you
requested me to join a sound money
league, which l declined to do, pending
further investigation. AS you will observe
from the heading of this letter, l am now
in the republic of Mexico, where free coin
age of silver reigns supreme, and have an
object lesson which l shall not forget
Common day laborers' wages here are
very low, ranging from 37I2 to 70 cents
a day in Mexican money, and it takes $1.S5
of this money to get 81 of ours. Wishing
to purchase a negligee shirt l was shown
one worth about 81 in Meridian. The price
here was IS. The people are anxious for
the United States to adopt the free coin
age at 16 to 1. hoping 1t will benefit Mexico,
but intelligent people here from the states
admit it will not benefit US to do so. Be
fore coming here l heard it said that
Mexico was the most prosperous country
in America. / do not find it so. now au-
thorize you 10 sign my name TO the sound
money roll
The foregoing bears out what we have
been telling wage earners all the time,
namely, that free coinage of-silver would
have the effect of reducing their wages
about one-half-that is, wage earners
would get about the same amount they
are getting now, but they would be paid
in silver, which would have only about
half the purchasing power that our pres
ent currency. which is on gold basis, has
| a Mexican silver dollar has more silver
in it than our silver dollar, yet our silver
dollar is worth very nearly two Mexican
silver dollars. But, if we adopted free
| silver coinage, our silver dollars would be
practically on parity with Mexican sill
yer dollars-they would be worth Just
what the bullion in them is worth, and no
more.

CURRENT COMMENT.
A Test Question.
From the Nashville American Dem.) }.

The silverites contend that the last ma
tional democratic platform pronounced
for free silver, and that any one who
doesn't believe in free silver is not a demo-
crat. The insincerity of this claim is
readily demonstra ted by asking the sill
verites whether they would be satisfied
with readopting that alleged free silver
platform.

A sound Moner Nictorr.

The democrats OF Kentucky are over
whelmingly in favor OF sound money.
There is no doubt about that. The state
democratic convention yesterday reafirm-
ed the money plank Of the national dem
ocratic platform OF lss2. and endorsed the
Interpretation given 10 IL by Mr.. Cleve-
lands administration. The vote by which
this affirmation was made was GA TO 253.
That vote shows how the democrats. OF
Kentucky stand on the silver question.
They are against free and unlim-
tied silver coinage at the ratio
OF Is to by big majority,
and so are the democrats Of most Of the
other states which the silverites have been
claiming, as viii appear when they have
occasion TO speak their minds.
The silverites cannot claim that the Ken
lucky platform favors free silver coinage
in the remotest degree. because it ap-
proves the policy of the administration in
respect to silver. They have claimed that
the administration put a wrong construc-
ton on the money plank Of the national
democratic platform OF 1892. The Ken
lucky democrats virtually say there is no
foundation for such a claim-that the adj
ministration has given the right interpre-
tation to that plank. and that it means
sound money
The result i'm Kentucky was not arrived
at suddenly. 1t was reached after hard
fought campaign. Senator Blackburn and
other leaders of the free silver coinage
craze started the agitation in behalf of
free silver coinage weeks before the state
convention met As late as a month ago
the silverites claimed they would control
the state convention. Secretary Carlisle
and a few other sound money men recently
entered the campaign and pointed out the
fallacies Of the arguments of the silverites
and the folly and wickedness Of the pur-
pose they had in view. The people were
quick to respond to the truth as vegetation
is to respond to sunlight.
1t is true that Mr.. Hardin was nominated
for governor. but the fight was not on the
gubernatorial candidate. AS Senator
Lindsay said It is a matter of no conse-
quence who is nominated so long as a
sound money platform was adopted.
1t is safe to say that from this time on
the free silver craze will gradually sub
side. The silverites have met with dis
astrous defeat in a fair fight in Kentucky.
and they will be defeated in most of the
other states when they make a square
contest with the friends Of sound money.

warships for Japan.

Japan has an immense sea coast and
she thinks she ought to have a great
navy. She already has quite a number of
excellent warships. but she is by no
means satisfied. She is preparing for the
future. she believes apparently that her
surest way to increase ner importance in
the estimation Of the great powers is to
become strong on the sea. In her war
with China she demonstrated that her
sons fight as well on the sea as on the
land, and that they are quick to learn all
there is to be learned about the handling
of modern warships in an engagement.
Having obtained an immense indemnity
from China she has the money to pur-
chase such ships as she wants. Ameri-
through our navy department that it is
Japans purpose to ask bids from Ameri-
can and English ship builders for the
construction of a number of battle ships
and cruisers of the first class. 1t is the
understanding that the amount she pro-
poses spending at once on her navy is
about $15.OO0OOO. She would like to give
the contract to American ship builders,
but il is thought by some of the leading
men of her government that it would not
be good policy to do so. American and
English ship builders will, therefore, be
asked to compete for the contracts for
building the ships. Should half of this
work come to this country our ship build
ers would be kept pretty busy for several
years, as they are certain to have a
very large amount of work besides that
which they are likely to get from abroad.
If our ship builders should get con-
tract for building some of the japanese
ships and the English ship builders should
get a contract for building others of them
there would be a great rivalry between
them, because the builders that gave the
greater satisfaction would most likely get
other contracts from the Japanese, and
probably the Chinese.
Japan has the means of building war
vessels. She has a well equipped ship
yard. but she has not yet the means of
building cruisers and battle ships. of the
first class. There is no doubt that in
some important particulars our cruisers
are the best in the world
