THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

II there IS any newspaper more
than another of the score or sc
of really great Democratic dali
les of the country that possesses
and deserves the confidence OF
the people that paper is the Bal
timore Sun. 1t is tried, true,
trusted and sagacious. And here
is one of the greatest utter
ances.
"The sound common sense OF
the people will always prevail in
the end. When there is business
depression and distress men will
listen to all kind of quack rem
edies. But now with the re-
vival of prosperity men are not
so apt to resort to these From
the West comes cheering news of
financial good sense. The Dem
ocratic committeeman of Iowa
have met in conference and de-
clared against silver imitation.
An honest money league has op-
ened headquarters in Chicago.
In the same city the Iroquois
club probably the most infuen-
tial Democratic organization in
the West has declared against
free coinage by a vote Of two to
one.
Mr.. McCreary. of Kentucky, is
making the fight for the Senate
on the sound money platform
against Senator Blackburn, who
is for free silver. In the South
ern States, the leading Demo
cratic newspapers are strongly
opposing free silver. The tide
has been turned against silver
imitation. Mr.. Cleveland in his
recent letter took the lead and
the Democrats will follow their
leader"
And the Atlanta Journal, an
other guiding light for the South
and Democracy says:
Every new industry, every
rise in the price of a farm pro
duct, every increase in wages,
every fresh enterprise, every
sign of business revival, every
promise of great crops-all these
fight against the effort to put
our currency on silver basis.
AS the clouds roll away things
look brighter to everybody ex-
cept the dyedin- the wool silver
monometallists. They will not
know what to talk about when
matters get all right and they
are getting that way rapidly. AS
the country becomes happier
and more hopeful their worry in
creases, Their arguments are
being answered by the course of
events and they don't like it one
bit.
There is every reason to be-
lieve that by the time the great
parties come to make their
platforms next year the country
Will be SO prosperous that a
promise to make them better by
the unlimited coinage of silver
will be laughed to scorn by the
people.
The silver monometallists
should stop their bowling and
join the procession that is NOV
ing toward better times.

The National Democratic Platform
IS evidently susceptible Of too many
interpretations on the finance and
tarl1 questions, or, if not that, there
were elected to Congress and Senate
the most unruly set of men that ever
invaded Washington. There seems
to be gang of little fellows there
who have all kinds of Wild cat
schemes, and they would apparently
rather see the government go under
IN disgrace than he submissive to the
councils of the experienced. Pres
dent Cleveland has much more troub-
lie with this Congress than he did

"Tha Purault OF Happiness"
From the indianapolis News.
Prince Bismarck stated TO some vlsi
tors recently that he had never been a
happy man that the struggle OF bis early
life had been so lncessaut, aud the cares
which attended bis public Successes 50
great that he had never bad time for
happiness. he thought that all OF bis
real happiness could be counted TO-
gether ia the space Of an hour. or
course happiness depends altogether on
the point Of view, and 1t would be in
terestinR to know just what the vener
able statesmans notions Of the qualities
OF happiness are 1t ls to be considered
that the attainment OF ambition alone is
a source Of keenest pleasure to most men
Even In small way. the man who
achieves according to an ambition
which may rot DO high derives deal OF
satlsfaction from things done. II Is
doubtful whether the ex chancellor
really meant that he had known little
happiness. or else he entertains some
peculiar personal idea Of what real
happiness may be To have welded as
he did for 80 long great power
successfully to have been feared where
he was not admired TO have left n
lasting expression upon his age and
