LAST week the free silver Den

LAST week the free silver Demo-
Gratis in Colorado held convention
and declared for free coinage. As
Colorado is a silver producing
State much was expected of her
in the way Of a grand demonstra-
tion for the silver cuase. The con-
vention was fizzle. Some reports
put the attendance at thirty while
others claim that fifty delegates
were present. Either the Demo
Gratis in Colorado are not very en-
thusiastic over the subject or they
have nearly all become Republi-
cans 1t begins to look like the
craze is dying out.

SHOULD the Cuban revolutionlsts
fail in their present undertaking
that unfortunate island will feel
the calling pressure of the Spanish
yoke more severely than ever.
But the war is not yet over, and
the Cuban patriots have still a
fighting chance for success. Should
Spain lose the island, the last of
her once so extensive possessions in
the western world will.have slipped
out of her grasp, and it is well that
it should be so, for her rule, from
the time Columbus landed on the
shores of America until the pres
ent time, has been one Of bloodshed
and plunder. We hope to see
Cuba gain her freedom in this
struggle.

s'DIsTANCE lends enchantmcnt to

"DIsTANCE lends enchantmcnt to
the view," and this may probably
bethe reason why the Democrats
are so enthusiastic over free silver.
AS the next congress is Republican
by a large majority and in favor of
sound money, it is not possible that
free silver legislation can be enact
cd within the next three or four
years, or until the Democrats
are again in full control Of the gov
ernment. Were the Democrats
brought nearer to the responsible
ity Of making free coinage laws
it is not likely they would be tax
ing such a roseate view of the stu
alton. By the time they have it in
their power to do as they like and
are brought face to face with the
question of passing a free coinage
bill the charm will have passed
away.

tenn, and nothing stands in the way
of such a feeling among the people
but the agitation of the silver ques-
ton. To put stop to that mis-
chievous clatter will be to place
things on firm basis and inspire
confidence throughout the whole
range of commercial and industrial
activities: and the tendency toward
such a result is growing stronger
every day. The intelligence Of the
masses is asserting itself in the
right direction, and the issue that
threatened at one time to supercede
all others and to cause endless
trouble is now likely to be removed
in the course of few months.

The pa ssing of the Silver Issue.


There can be no doubt about the
fact that the free-silver sentiment is
rapidly subsiding. At the time
the Illinois Democratic Convention
was held it looked as if nothing
could prevent the desire for cheap
money from taking possession Of
the West and South, and making
that question the predominant one
in the campaign Of 1896. But
since then a pronounced change
has taken place, and the people
who seemed about to lose their
heads upon the subject of vital
Importance have thought the mat
ter over and concluded to act diff
fcrcntly. Not another State Con
vention has been called to declare
for free silver, and not another vic
tory Of any kind has been gained
in favor of that theory. Wher-
ever a test has been made, the
result has been to the advantage of
the sound money cause. 1t was so in
the National Convention. of Rcpub-
lican Leagues at Cleveland, and it
was SO in the Democratic primary
elections in Kentucky, not to men
ton the various smaller contests OF
similar significance. There is now
but little or no probability that the
Democratic party will put a free
silver plank in its platform next
year; and the Republican party is
absolutely certain not to do so.
Possibly there will be a free sill.
YER party, but it will not be either
of the two great ones representing
the decisive forces in the campaign
The prospect appears to be good
therefore, for the practical climin
alton of the free silver issue
from our politics. 1t can not b'
made an important question il
1896 unless one or the other of tn
two great parties shall adopt it ant
force fight upon it, and that i
not to be expected from presen
indications. With both of thes
parties committed to sound money
there can be no controversy of an,
interest or effect about silver
The battle will be waged on othe
lines and for other purposes, an
the country will escape the busi
ness disturbance and financial un
, certainty and apprehension b
which contests with regard to tn
currency are invariably attended
What is needed above everythin
else for the restoration of pros
f perity and the promotion of tn
, general welfare is a feeling of st
