withdrawn and becomes merchandise. The true interest of all our people, and specially of the farmers and working people, who cannot closely observe the money market, is that every dollar, paper or coin, issued by the government shall at all times and in all it's uses be the ex- act equivalent, not only in debt-paying but in purchasing power, of any other dollar. I am quite sure thatif we should now act upon this subject independently of other nations we would greatly promote their interests and in jure our own.'
 Here are the convictions of 1891 re- avowed, with earnestness and en- phasis, in 1892. Benjamin Harrison says he stands by them today.
 The attempt to throw doubt upon his soundness on the money question was hopeless attempt from the start. The difficulties in the way were too great The greatest of all was that the people know Benjamin Harrison. He was their president for four years, and they haven't had many better ones.

ONE FACT concerning the Democratic administration must not be overlooked. The deficit at the end of the fiscal year will be at least $4O,OOo,O00. But that is not all. h addition to this deficit the treasury department has been con- pelled to borrow $1SO, 100000. Add the interest account and the principal to the deficit, and it will be discovered what the Democratic party has ac. complished in two years. In spite oi all this showing we are told of the good Democratic times." When a man is unable to pay his bills and his interest account keeps on growing he is not prospering very rapidly. It is the same way with nations.

THE MOSSBACK.

The mossback has become unfortun- ately one of the most important char acters in modern civilization and progress-not, of course, for what he does, but for what he is frequently able to prevent being done.
 The greatest trouble about the moss. back is his inability to recognize him. self. He is the last man on earth to know where his place is in the line. He fancies rybody else is out of order but himself. The saving point lies, however, in the fact that it is be- coming one of the easiest things in the world for other or progressive people to pick out these stun mbllng blocks and walk around them. The Kansas City Star has pencil sketch that ought to be hung up in every office and business rendezvous, for purposes of identifca- ton when the mossb back is around. It says:
 His voice is for obstruction first, last and all the time. The richer he becomes the louder he howls about the poverty of the town and it's inability to better it's condition. With him the time never comes when the conditions are pro- pitious for going ahead. He always raises the old racket about the times being too hard, or the people too poor or the taxes too high. The more money he gets the more he wants and the more reluctant he is to pay any of it out. His voice and his vote are against progress in all of it's forms. He kicks on paving the streets; he would prefer to see the city dirty to having it clean ed; he is rabid in his opposition to parks, which he regards in the light of wicked eXtravagance. In short, he is bitterly hostile to any movement which IS likely to cost him cent, however much it might benefit his neighbors and the general public. He is human sponge; he absorbs every thing and gives out nothing; he feeds upon the community which he tries 10 starve; he kicks like steer on taxes for public improvements, but gloats oyer his share of the increment which is sure to result from undertakings which benefit the general public.
 This curious species is gradually be- coming extinct. The contact of civili zation is killing him off as it has wiped away the original savages, until but a remnant remains, fed at government expense upon the reservations and kept in check by the military. The Indian was the original American mossback, of course. The pale.face types are yet found, however, in small numbers in nearly every community still battling against steam and electricity and prog rass and clinging to the breech-clout period of social development. But he is going, here and elsewhere. In few years more, probably by the end of the century, he will be as great curiosity as the buffalo.

HARRISON VS SILVER,

Now that Harrison as a presidential possibility has become factor, his atand on the silver question is of in- terest. The ex.president has lately been in the east and the gold bug press of that section has warmly euIogized him as the coming man. In this con. Rection his speeches and messages are freely quoted from to prove that he is sound on the money question according to the idea of Wall Street concerning what constitutes soundness on that question.
 The following editorial from the Hartford tConn) Courant is reproduc- ed because it will be quite as interest ing reading in Arizona as in Connecti- cut, though the impression produced in the minds of the readers may be diff ferent:
 A month or so ago. when some of the Democratic and Mugwump papers hereabouts were pretending to be in dOu bt as to Benjamin Harrison's posi-. tion on the currency question. and we administered a stiff dose of extracts from his messages to congress, it worked like charm.
 Thursday night, after Mir. Wana- makers dinner party, the Philadelphia reporters surrounded General Harrison. Their spokesman was good enough to assure him that they would not press him to talk about politics if he didn't want to. The general replied that his success in escaping uninterviewed from New York encouraged him to hope he might be equally fortunate in his tran sit through Philadelphia. The dean of the reporters asked him for the date of speech of his on the money question. The general, after telling him when and where the speech was made, re- marked that he had discussed the cur rency in other speeches and in his mes sages. 'Aud they are all safe to quote from?" asked the newspaper man. Certainly" answered the Republican ex- president. 'I stand by all I said on the subject"
 Here are a few sentences from one of the messages which it is safe to quote from :-
 am still of the opinion that the free coin age of silver under existing conditions would disastrously affect our business interests at home and abroad. We could not hope to main tain an equality in the purchasing power of the gold and silver dollar in our own markets. and in foreign trade the stamp gives no added value to the bullion contained in coins. The pro- ducers of the country, it's farmers and labor, CTS have the hig hest interest that every dollar paper or coin, issued by the government shall be as good as any other. If there is one les valuable than another, its sure and constant errand will be to pay them for their toil and fol their crops.
 The message of which these sen tences form part was sent to congress December 9, 1891. Benjamin Harrison says he stands by it today.
 The next year-September 3, 1892 he had occasion to write letter to thu Hon. William Mckinley, IT,. ane others. It was what is known as let ter of acceptance. In this letter h. D. said =
