SENATOR VOORHEES, VIEWS
Silver and Gold Forces Broke Even-A
Splendid Ticket.

Silver and Gold Forces Broke Even-A
Splendid Ticket.
Senator Voorhees, being asked
his opinion of the result of the
Democratic convention in Ken
lucky said:
The result of this convention re-
minds me of an expression we had
when l was a boy in describing
the wrestling match. When neith-
er party got much, if any advant-
age over the other, 1t was called a
"dog fall" At Louisville one
party nominated the ticket and
the other made the platform, and
they came out about even, with
bimetallism, in the abstract, on
top. The ticket is a splendid one,
with the gifted and eloquent Gen
eral Hardin up for Governor, a
friend of silver money, while the
platform is simply a reassertion of
the bimetallic Chicago platform of
1892, which is full of silver and
gold both, and was indorsed by
the American people three years
ago in an overwhelming manner.
This platform did not mean gold
mononetallssm in 1892, and does
not mean it now.
The endorsement of Mr.. Cleve
land and his administration
said the Senator, "was most ma
tural thing in a Democratic CON
vention, and the Endorsement of
John G. Carlisle anywhere in Ken
lucky was foregone conclusion
whether all his views were concur
red in or not. There is nothing
in the work of the Louisville con-
vention which calls for or justifes a
spirit of boasting, or of triumph
amongst its members over each
other. The situation invites, and,
indeed commands, harmony and
peace in the ranks of Democracy,
and united and aggressive fight
against the common enemy. I pre-
dict gallant campaign and brill
liant victory for the Democratic
cause in Kentucky in the coming
August election.
II have neither fear nor discour-
agement for the fate of silver mon
ey in the United States. The
American people, in their own way,
and with many sober second
thought, will take full and proper
care of that great question. There
are over five hundred millions Of
silver now in circulation in this
country, as much honor as gold,
and there will never be less. Dem.
ocrats have no need to quarrel with
one anotoer on this or any other
question. Freedom of opinion in
our ranks does not necessarily
mean a free fight"

THE San Francisco Chronicle says
The New York bankers who free
ly admit that syndicate has so
successfully cornered the available
gold supply Of the world that the
United States treasury is at its
mercy have framed the strongest
possible indictment against the
single gold standard. After read
ing their views, sensible men can
not help concluding that a none
tary system which favors the corner
ing of redemption money must be
vicious in the extreme. ASSUMING
that the transaction was all right
and in the interest of the Amecican
treasury, which may or may not
be so, it is at any rate frightful
indication of the fact that the most
powerful government of the world
are at the mercy of the money

ances are based upon the restrict.

controlled by the great bankers

TRUSTS ARE DOOMED.

1HE Dan francisco eau reSarus
the defeat of the Whiskey trust in
Illinois as great victory.
1t rejoices to think that after
thirty years of rapid growth these
commercial monsters reached O
turn in the road. That is what the
trusts feared when they heard from
the Democratic landslide of 1892
The cal says:
In declaring the whiskey trust
to be an illegal and baneful institu-
ton, and in ordering therefore
that its character be revoked, the
Supreme Court of Illinois has de.
stroyed one of the most corrupt in.
stitutions to which this country
has ever given birth. The organ
ization of the trust was on the bas
is of leasing all the leading distill
cries and operating them under
one management. The profits
which it has secured under this ar
rangement have been enormous
but this is a matter of small impor>
tance compared with the debauch
ing of courts and legislative bodies
to which it has resorted in the
maintenance of the gigantic mon
oply.
When the attack was first made
upon the trust it sought to evade
the issues raised against it by re.
organizing on different plan, OF
which a comprehensive corporation
was the central idea. Even this
ruse did not suffice to blind the
Supreme Court to its real intention,
and it has been destroyed on the
broad ground that it was conduct
ed in restraint Of trade. There be.
ing no ground upon which it can
appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States it is dead beyond
all hope.
Of course this decision is made
by the Supreme Court of only one
state, but that is sufficient to de.
stroy this malignant institution
AS Illinois is the home of other
gigantic trusts, including the Pull
man Palace-car Company, this de,
cision breaks ground for others
that will affect interests as great as
those represented by the whiskey
trust, and will have q further value
as serving as precedent for other
State courts.
All those who had become dis
heartened at the seeming invincible
power Of trusts and corporations
may now take courage and cherish
a hope for better days. 1t is i'm
possible that the principal rep
resented by trusts can thrive for
ever in this country, and the soon
er the issue is fought out IN the
State courts the better.

WHICH is SOUND.

The President is always talking
about sound money and the honest
dollar. Hon. VIM. G. Whitney
also has something to say in rela-
ton to the same. This leads us to
enquire what is sound money.
The gold dollar is not an honest
dollar; it is not sound money says
the American. As shown by the
average prices of commodities
given in the preceding editorial
the gold dollar was worth 30 per
cent more in 1S90-91 than in 1870
73, and on June /, 1894, this hon
est dollar was worth sc per cent
more than in 1878. In 1890-91 the
silver dollar, as bullion, was worth
l per cent more than in 1870-73,
and on June l, 1894, it was worth,
not in America where it is subsi-
diary.to gold, or in India where it
is treated as merchandise, but in
China, exactly as much as in 1878.
AT Shanghai on December 81,
1894, the gold dollar was worth 105
per cent more than in 1878, would
buy more than twice as much as it
would twenty years before. The
silver dollar would buy 3 per cent
less.

The silver dollar had deprecated

ured in commodities produced by
gold-using countries. 3 per cent
measured by commodities in silver
using countries.
1t is no longer a 50-cent silver
dollar and 100-cent gold dollar,
but a 100-cent silver dollar and
200-cent gold dollar.
Which is the sounder money?
Silver deprecated 3 per cent or
gold appreciated l05?
Restore silver to its place as
money and then we will have Il
gold dollar as sound as the silver
dollar. Then both dollars will be
sound, not before.

The two leading features Of the IA
nous sermon preached by DR.. Sacheve.
rell in st. Paul's cathedral on Nov. 8,
1909, which led to his trial and all the
paper war which ragged around his name,
were the denunciation of religious toll
erance and the upholding of the doc
trine Of nonresistance to the crown in
its EXTREMIST form. The Sacheverell
pamphlets consist of short and catch.
penny lives of the reverend hero, several
sermons preached by him at various
dates, attacks by dissenting writers on
such sermons and their preacher, and
other sermons and replies in support Of
the high church doctrines
The list of Sacheverell pamphlets is a
record of sermons, speeches, answers,
letters, replies, thought, vindications
and considerations, with endless varia-
tions of title, in long and wearisome
procession. The total number of distinct
and separate publications connected d.
rectly or indirectly with the controversy,
enumerated by Mr.. Falconer MADAM
in his photography of Sacheyerell, "
amounts to no less than 226. and most
of these are tracts, broadsides and
pamphlets of the most ephemeral kind
Their enumeration is a triumph Of bib
biographical industry and patience and
an astonishing proof of the strength
and indeed violence of party feeling,
both ecclesiastical and political, at the
crisis of Queen Anne's reign. Gentle

The Mere Money aetter.-

There is not in the world more ig-
noble character than the mere money
getting American, insensible to every
duty, regardless of every principle, bent
only on amassing fortune and putting
his fortune only to the basest uses,
whether these uses be to speculate in
stocks and wreck railroads himself or
to allow his son to lead life Of foolish
and expensive idleness and gross de-
bauchery or to purchase some scoundrel
Of high social position, foreign or ma
tive, for his daughter. Such man is
only the more dangerous if he occasion
ally does some deed like founding a
college or endowing a church, which
makes those good people who are also
foolish forget his real iniquity.
These men are equally careless Of the
workingmen, whom they Cypress, and
of the state, whose existence they i'm
peril There are not very many of them,
but there is very great number Of men
who approach more or less closely to
the type, and in SO far as they do SO APP
proach they are curses to- the country.
The man who is content to let politics
go from bad to worse, jesting at the
corruption of politicians; the man who
Is content to see the maladministration
of Justice without an immediate and
resolute effort to reform it, is Sinking
his duty and is preparing the way for
infinite woe in the future.
Hard, brutal Indifference to the right
and an equally shortsightedness as to
the inevitable results of corruption and
injustice are baleful beyond measure,
and yet they are characteristic of a
great many Americans who consider
themselves perfectly respectable and
who are considered thriving, prosperous
men by their easy going fellow citizens.

THE Widest LAND.

Oregon Has the Honor Of Having the
toughest Tract known to Man.
Assistant Chief Goode of the United
States geological survey, who visited
Oregon last summer, says that the wild
est region Of the entire United States is
an area of 1000 square miles lying in
the mountains between Roseburg and

He describes it as a mysterious undis-
covered country, in which roams undis-
turbed wild game, and whose brooks
and rivers are filed with wild fowl. II
is nearly all covere2=syith dense
growth Of pine. fir, hea&aook and other
trees. Many Of the trees are Of enor-
nous size and stand so closely that it is
difficult for men to make their way be-
tween them. Where the trees are not SC
thick the heavy growth Of bushes of va
rious kinds takes their place,
1t is a country that is filed with all
kinds Of wild game, including, as re,
ported to him, elk, different kinds Of
bear, mountain lions, deer and other
animals, including lynx and others.
There are also the varied kinds of fowl.
The streams all have an abundance OF
trout and other kinds Of fish. He pene-
trated into the wilds dozen miles and
saw things that filled him with wonder
at the vastness of the forest, and that
any one should attempt to live in it. -
