The Savannah (Ga.) News civ

The Savannah (Ga.) News gives
the best explanation we have yet
seen as to why FREE silver has some
advocates and followers. The News
says:
''The word Stree" in the silver
question is the drop of molasses
that has attracted a great many
flies. Wipe that word out, and the
swarm about the flystrap would
diminish rapidly and preceptibly.
The word Stree has mighty
charm. 1t is the embodiment of
the idea of getting something for
nothing. That idea has always
been a fatal one to people who haye
followed it up. The hope and de.
sire to get valuable articles free are
the life of lotteries and gaming
tables. Green-goods men play ups
on those weaknesses and find the
business very profitable"
