A THIN SILVER PLATING.
The Cheap Money Advocates In the New
CoDRress.


The Cheap Money Advocates In the New
Congress.
A canvass of the new congress, which
has just been completed by a committee
of the New York chamber of commerce,
does not offer much encouragement
to the gentlemen who propose to give
us a sound monetary system by shat
tering the old and throwing away the
precious metal which gave it strength
and stability. According to it's report
the new house of representatives will
be divided as follows on the currency
question:
Free silver, So; anti-free silver, 216;
doubtful or views not known, SO.
Further analysis shows that of the
silverites, 80 are republicans, 81 are
democrats and are populsts.
No section of the country, not even
the west, is unit upon free silver. OF
the 10 states so classed only Colorado
and Washington, with two representa-
tives each; Idaho, Montana, Nevada,
South Dakota and Wyoming, with one
each, have solid silver delegations.
Even the Grasshopper state the home
of the whislered PETER, is split in half
on the question. Missouri, the baili-
| wick of Vest and Bland, returns sound
dozen against to three who are for the
16 to 1 lunacy. Nebraska has four con-
Eressmen against to two favoring.
Coming to the south, the same state of
affairs is exhibited. Out of Virginia's
delegation of ten three side with Sem
ator Daniel, four are classed with Gov.
O'Ferrall and three new members are
III doubt. North Carolina has five free
silver members, one for sound money
and three doubtful, while but four out
of South Cardinals seven are silverites.
| Georgia has six free coinage men, three
for sound money, one who believes in
compromise and one seat to be filed
Mississippi has three silverites, two
sound money men and two democrats
whose positions are uncertain. Ala
bama has but six professed silverites,
and Tennessee but four.
AS to the senate there will be 43 votes
against free coinage and 80 for it, Six
senators-Bacon, Baker, Caffery, Nc
Bride, Martin and Wilson-are classed
as doubtful, but are not thought to be
unfavorable to sound money. When
| Utah is admitted there will be two more
silverites, but, on the other hand, there
are likely to be others to follow the ex-
ample of Senator Mills, the ablest of the
men classed for free coinage up to
short time ago.
Eighty-eight votes in the house
against ZIG will not cut much of figure
in manufacturing moral sentiment for
the white metal, to say nothing of bal
loting. Even adding the 80 senatorial
votes, including PETER, who prefers
irredeemable paper, and Wolcott, who
is in the condition of the parrot after
it's engagement with the monkey
there is only thin plating of white
metal over our national legislature, and
it cannot stand the rough usage of ex-
perience.
The house of the free-silver law
makers reminds one very much of the
establishment of Mr.. and Mrs. Veneer
| ing in "Our Mutual Friend" and it is
just about as stable as it is glittering.-

The Cormorant Money Power.

"When you struck down the silver
dollar in 1873" roar the free silver ora
tors, sit was worth 103 cents. Think
of it, you murdered a dollar that was
actually worth three cents more than
the gold dollar! Itwas the most damn
able conspiracy of the cormUant
money power ever recorded in history!"
Hear, hear! Beer, beer! Odds, boots,
booze and Doodle! Blue snakes and red
monkeys! Dod-gast any drafted cor
morant money power, anyhow, that
would enter into damnable conspir-
hcy to prevent its debtors from paying
it in 1O3 cents dollars instead of 100
cents dollars. Down with such cor
morant money power and up with the
right of every American citizen to pay
II ounces instead of 16 for every pound
Of flesh the Shylocks may exact of him.

SILVER PRODUCTION.
Depreciation of the Dollar Under II
creneed Output.

creRsed Output.
r. e. Preston, director of the mint,
estimates from information now at
hand that the production of silver from
the mines of the United States during
the current calendar year will be from
100000 to 100000 ounces less than
in 1894, when the total output was 59,-
100000 ounces.
This decrease in the product is not
due to the exhaustion of mines, but to
the fall in the price of silver, which
has made it Improbable to work the
poorer mines. And the fall in price is
not wholly or even mainly due to the
aiscontinuance of purchases of silver
by the government, for the great de-
cline occurred before the purchases
were discontinued. For many years
before 1893 the output of our mines
had been increasing, while the price
had been falling, with partial and tenn
porary recoveries. Going back only TO
1888, the product in ounces and the
average value per ounce for that and
the following years so far as reported
have haep no follous.

-. The free silverites on the Missouri
democratic state committee, who COM
prise large majority of the commit
tee, are going to begin work early to
fix things so that the state will send a
sixteen to one delegation to the nation
al convention next year. They are like
ly to succeed if the silver issue lasts un-
til the delegates are chosen. BANDS
end of the democracy is the dominant
end still in this state. But what can
the silver delegation do? An over
whelming majority of the convention
will be for sound money. This major
ity will undoubtedly be much larger in
1896 than it was in 1502.-St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.

...."I object to the silver standard
being adopted in lieu of the existing
standard, because it will defraud all
creditors out of one-half the value OF
their debts. Every debt contracted
since January 1, 1879, was conhacted
ON the gold standard. The debtor hon
estly owes the value of 1922 grains of
gold for every dollar promised, and the
creditor isNhonestly entitled to receive
it."-Hon. Roger Q. Mills.

WILL KEEP ON BRAYING.
Free silver Planners Who Continue to
France.

Free silver Hammers Who Continue to
France.
Senator's Morgan and Pugh, of Ala
bama, and some of the other free silver
democrats of that state, including sew
cral of the representatives, have held
II conference. 1t was called to see
whether the free silver question could
not be dropped and a probable split
in the party averted. This seemed pc
culiarly advisable to some after Tues
days elections had shown that free
coinage was dead
But the two senator's and few of the
other conferrees would not agree to
this, and insisted on making free silver
the great issue in the party and in fight
ing for the control of the state conven-
ton and the election of free silver del
egates to the next national convention.
The sound money democrats have ac-
cepted the challenge. Gov. Oates, who
will be candidate for reelection, will
head them. So there will be an intense
ly bitter fight within the party from
now on, which may leave it in bad con-
dition when the presidential election
comes on.
No sooner was this fruitless confer
cnce over than the two Afabamians
took the stump. Senator Morgan made
speech at Tuscaloosa in which, after
abusing Cleveland for what he has done
to maintain the integrity of the cur
rency, he asserted that he never would
vote for the issue of bonds with which
TO get gold to enable the government
to redeem its promises until free silver
coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1 was re-
stored. But when that day came the
government could not sell bonds
enough to get and keep stock of gold
which would enable it to keep at par
the flood of 50-cent dollars it's mints
would be pouring out. The other SEN
ator talked after the same fashion, and
they intend to stump the state till il
is about time for congress to meet.
All this proves that the two Alabama
senators are about on par intellectual
ly with Altgeld and Hinrichsen. They
are alike in that they swallowed the
shallow sopIistry of Coins" boy, and
that they are ready to smash the party
to which they belong sooner than give
up their fool notions, even after they
see that their victory is impossible.
1t is no wonder that a party which has
such Statesmen" is in depressed and
suffering condition.-Chicago Tribune.
-. But free coinage would not give
us more currency. On the contrary, il
would deprive us for time of part OF
what we now have. AS Secretary Her
bert says, foreign countries could alb.
sorb every dollar of gold we have, "and
If we should pass free silver law,
would do it instantly" Not only would
| this put us on a silver basis, with cur.
rency of greatly diminished purchas
ing power, but it would strip us OF
about one-third of the circulating med.
ium we now have.-Chicago Chronicle
... Free silver has never won men
tionable victory. 1t never will.
| never can.-N. Y. Sun.

AN SUR.

An A p. A. paper, in commenting on
st. Patrick's day o~bservances, intimates
that Irish Americans have not con-
tribute enough to the establishment or
prosperity of American institutions to
justify them in making SO conspicuous
the celebration of a d%istinctively Irish
anniversary. The slur is both i'll natured
and untrue. Without d-isparagement to
other nationalities, it can be truthfully
asserted that Ireland has contributed her
full share toward establishing and main
tanning American institutions. The
traces of Irish blood can be followed
through thousands of patriotic ann
from a period long before the revolu-
tionary war. during that struggle and
the formative period of the government
down to the present time. History
shows that of the colonial governors
prior to the revolution twenty-five were
of Irish birth or extraction. Of the
eighty-three soldiers who bore commits
sions of major or brigadier generals in
the continental army nineteen were ma
tives of Ireland or of irish p~arentage.
Irish Americans furnished their full
quota of private soldiers in the war of
@AA( IL A liz q y thD
and it would be impossible to enum-
crate all who have held high and honor
able positions in American politics. An
drew jackson was of Irish descent, Gen.
Phil Sheridan of Irish ~parentage, Gen.
Grant from the maternal side had Irish
blood in his veins, John A. Logan
father was Irish, as was dmiral Far
ragut's mother, inc Admiral Rowan was
a native of Ireland. The list might be
indefinitely prolonged of men OF Irish
birth or extraction who have served
the country honorably in civil life or on
battlefields from Bunker Hill to Apo
mattox, while in business and CONNER
cial life their influence has been as po-
tent and beneficial as that of n other
nationality. American character and in
situations are composite, and it is mar
row and unDatriotic to attempt to dis
criminate among their various elements
on national lines.

THE UNHAPPY FRENCH WIDOW.

According to a writer in the New York
Sun the lot of a French widow in her
own country is not a happy one If her
husband dies without a will and there
are no children all his property, even
though it may have been held in COM
mon during his lifetime, goes to his
relatives. If he dies without a will.
leaving both widow and children, all the
property goes to the children. In such
a case the mother may live IN the in
come with her children if their guardian
will permit, but if he sees fit he may
forbid this, and she will be compelled to
earn her living or otherwise provide for
herself, no matter how large the estate.
She has the right to retain any prop
erty which was hers at the time of mar
rage, but even his is looked upon
GENEROUSLY by INSCRIPTIONS guardians
and relatives, and she is not infrequentfy
deprived of it in one way and another.
enough, she is put under the same social
restrictions and disadvantages that are
placed upon young unmarried girls. I'm
less she have daughters to be chaperoned
she is not free to attend inner parties,
receptions or other entertainments which
make up social ~enjoyments. Neither is
she free to receive calls from men or
to visit or entertain any but the most
intimate family friends. In short, she is
practically dead to society unless she
should marry again. and without in
~1uential friends interested in her well
fare she is not likely to have oppor-
tunity for this. The social freedom and
independence of widows in the
United States is SO great that
the regret of a certain young woman
that she had not been born a widow
was not without reason. AS contrasted
with the life of a French widow the
privileges of the American woman whose
husband has died are bright indeed. If
French widows of the upper class can

tion 10 this country their more fortunate
sisters might show their sympathy by
