If the officers of the cotton-growlng
association in the South can persuade
the cotton growers to reduce the acreage
one-fifth, better prices will be realized,
Two million bales more Of cotton than
the world needs is the cause to which
ex-senator Walsh attributes the low
price. and it is a sound one. But what
will this association of cotton growers
be called if not trust or combination
to check production in order to enhance
prices? If a combination to obtain
living price for cotton is proper. why is
not a similar combination to restrict
the production of window glass, wheat
or any other article?

From first to last it fought the green
back and fiat money lunacy when IT
was sweeping the State, and when near
~ every Indiana Republican in Com
gross voted to repeal the resumption
act. Then angry appeals and abuse
came in every mail from men who are
now ashamed that they were ever SO
far beside themselves as to oppose the
resumption of specie payments, which
more than doubled the money of the
country. At that time the Journal was
profoundly convinced that the repeal OF
the resumption act and the further issue
of irredeemable paper money would
bring greater disaster to the country
than that which it had passed through
from 1874 to 1878. 1t SO believed because
the experience of every people that ever
tried the experiment of fiat money was.
record OF disaster 1t believes as pro-
foundry now that the free coinage of
silver by the United States alone would
put this country on silver basis, drive
the stock of gold abroad or make it
merchandise and create a panic such as
this country has not witnessed since
1887. 1t believes this because it is the
experience of the world that two metals
when the dollar of the one is worth more
in the open market than the dollar made
of the other. So believing, the Journal
will oppose the free coinage scheme of
the bonanza mine owners as it opposed
the Iunacy of the advocates of fiat
money from 1874 to 1880.

The reappointment of Miss Browning as
librarian of the City Library was what the
public expected and desired. She has proved
herself entirely competent to fill the office,
and has fulfilled her duties to the salts

The rumor that the School Board intended
to displace her because she had been sus-
pected of fayoring the plan to put the Ii
brary under the charge of separate board
was not generally credited. The board has
done some foolish things, but it would
hardly be capable of thus writing itself

dismissal of an accomplished and efficient
librarian, but. fortunately, this one has
