The November overIand.

To the November number of the Over
land Monthly Senator William NJ Stewart
contributes an article entitled, ''Gold Not
Necessary for Foreign Trade" The editor
OF the magazine assures his readers that
the silver question will not remain such
an awful mystery after the reading of the
Senator's paper. For the enlightenment
of the agricultural classes on the money
question, the Senator presents his argu-
ment in this fashion:
"It is easily understood why Mr.. Uleve-
land regards the gold standard as sound
money. It took on an average SO, 33333
bushels of wheat per annum to pay Presi-
bushels of wheat to pay President
Cleveland's salary for one year. In
other words, if the salary of President
Cleveland were paid in wheat he would
receive $4,000 bushels year more than
President Grant would have received"

John T. Morgan, who contributes to this
number paper entitled ''Why Does the
South Want Free Silver2" The reasoning
is clever and logical. The South is very
much in need of silver money to re-
establish the financial power and influence
that for many decades were felt in all the
marts OF commerce. when almost every
man OF wealth in the South was his own
banker. Silver is said by Senator Morgan
to be the only money that is used by
nearly two-thirds of the toilers through
out the world, and it has never worked
hardship or disappointment to any labor
ing-man. 1.-THE danger of an initiation of
silver from overproduction is a chimera,
and is proved to be such by the fact that
IN all ages it has never occurred
