Tho Coin club schoolmas.sr, Harvey,
has been lecturins on silver in Min
neapoli,. Tho Journal, o. that city,
commenting on what he said, observes:
One would think. to hear Mr.. Harvey
talk, that wheat was tho only thing tho
farmers OF America raised. But even
his argument about wheat being
cheaper because silver has been de.
monetized would look sick il tho farm.
ers OF the country would stop overpro.
duction and only raise halt as much OF
1t. And If tho reduction in the price OF
silver has played hob with wheat, wha,
has doubled tho price oil flax in the last
two years?
And what has run up the price OF
cattle and petroleum, both commodities
OF general use? Is it the decline in the
value OF silver that has made tho ad.
vance caused by the alleged crime
practiced on silver in 1873?

Senator Sherman's declaration tho
other day that the Republican party
has no intention Of taking n step back.
ward regarding the tariff que,tion has
set the Democratic papers to talking in
a way that indicates they do not bOlieve
In the sincerity Of the remark, Senator
Sherman simply gave expression to
what every leading Republican believes.
His exact words wore: "WhNt We mean
to do and will do when We have the
power iS to provide tariff and tax bill
that will yield sufficient revenues to
support the government and ut the
same time protect all home industries
impartiRIly and effectively, The Nc
Kinley law with such changes as time
may make necessary will accomplish
this purpose"
The Republican party has had no in.
tention Of departing from its protective
policy. 1t has not aud will not accept
tho Brice.GormGn humbug as a settle.
ment OF the tariff issue. Surely the
Democratic party canuo. expect the
Republicans to concede that a bill
which Democratic leaders have repudi.
ated and denounced as a product Of
party psrfdy and dishonOr settles por.
mauently q question so vital to the
business interests OF the country.
The present revival of business is not
a vindicGtion OF tho now tariff law. No
honest Democrat believes It any more
than honest Republicans do. Senator
Sherman expressed just what the Re-
publicanS intend to do in correcting an
evil forced upon the country by a Con-
gress that was rspudiatsi aud con.
dsmned by the people.

The action OF the State Board OF
Health in raising the guarantees need
iessty declared against Wheeling by
nelghborlng towns aud counties in West
Virginia will doubtless have u whole'
some effect on those communities,
which have persistentIy refused to be-
lisys the statements Of the city health
department aud the newspapers, and
Just as psrsislently gave credenco to tho
wild.eyed rumors pat in circulation by
ssnsationalists and malicious persona
Tho order may also serve to open the
eyes Of tho health authorities in Ohio
and Pennsylvania towns who have been
misled by the same false reports.
The state board acted ouly after
thorough personal investigation OF the
situation here, finding not only
that the conditions had been greatly
exaggerated, but that tho smallpox was
completely under control and that tho
guarantees were unnecessary and uu'
reasonable. Tho proclamation promul.
gated by Secretary Baker bears out fully
the statements made by the press and
by DR.. Jepson aud efIec!ualIy stamps as
untrue the excited reports that have
been in circulation during the past
week. 1t ought to open the eyes of peo'
pie who have been moro ready to bs.
lieve stories told by unreliable persons
than to give ear to authoritative and Of.
fetal reports
The smallpox has not been epidemic
here and there is no danger that it will
be; all cases have been isolated and far
removed from the business center and
have not spread outside the narrow lin.
its OF the section in which they existed.
This is q statement that has been fire..
quently made, but which, until tue
state board took action. our neighborI
ignored, though it would have been a
simple matter for them to make a per.
sonal investigation Of the situation be-
fore ado pting the course they did.
However, the ISrELLiGENcER does not
believe that the local boards Of health
In surrounding towns are altogether to
blame for their hasty course, in view Of
thsiact that there were persons in our
own community who were active in the
circulation Of every wild rumor that
they picked up on the streets, and, Ia.
noring tho means at their hand to aIcer.
tain their untruthfulnew, sent them
broadcast to excite tho people Of other
communities. The experience OF the
past few days should DO lesson to such
persona; the business interests OF the
city have suffered enormous damage at
their hands, or, rather. through their
mouths. It's hard to overtnks a false
rumor with the truth, mighty as the
truth is, and whsu the proT OF the city
undertook the task OF correcting the OK.
aggoratlons put in circulation by oxCiI-
ablo people they found they had large
