JONES N SILVER.

The telegraph reports that Senator
J. p. Jones believes now that nothing
will do but the organization Of a dis
tinct silver party, he having nc faith
that either Of the old parties will do
anything for silver:
He may be right in his last conclu-
sion. He may be right in his idea
that there is nothing left except to or
ganize a new party, with no object be-
fore it except the restoration Of silver.
He believes hat such a party could
win next year. There is where the
friends of silver will want to know his
reasons We believed, a year ago,
that if neither Of the National parties
did anything for silver this year, it
would be possible to unite the South
and West under the banner OF free
silver, with possibly a tariff for rev
enue. with incidental protection but

Cleveland and Mr.. Carlisle, has about

The election three years ago was car
ried by their money. In that respect.
we think both parties are equally Cul-
pable. We believe the programme
was laid out and perfected months be
fore the nominations: that both cOm-
mittees received their money for
campaign purposes from the same
source that it was known among the
great money manipulators months
prior to the nominations who would
be nominated by the Republicans and
by the DemOcrts, and that it was a
matter Of Indifference to those men
whether Cleveland or Harrison should
be elected. Now, to break that ire
mendOus organization, there has got
to be something more than just an or
g%anizatiOn with the single cry Of free
silver behind it; and still we do not
despair. There are some agencies at
work which we believe even Senator
Jones does not comprehend. We be-
lieve the great manufactures of the
East are swiftly reaching the conclu-
sion that their occupation will be gone
if silver remains as it is now, reduced
one.half in value, as compared with
gold, and if they try to do business
on a gold basis, while the silver count.
ries of the world are employing labor
and running machinery at silver
products are into direct competition
with the products of gold countries.
It is from that source that we look
to see the first great and telling diver
sion in favor Of silver. The farmers
would have the matter in their hands
if they could but see things Alright
but there seems no means to enlighten
them. The newspapers they %patronize
will not permit a fair statement Of the
subject and its bearings upon the
country to be introduced into theil
columns. They simply keep the state.
ment before their readers that there is
nothing in the silver question except
the desire of a few silver milliOnaires
to get double pay for their product
and the intrigity Of the farmer is APP
pealed not to permit so great a wrong
and the farmers seem Incapable Of
learning the fact that when silver is
at half price their wheat. their corn.
their cotton, and everything they pro
duce is at the same discount. But
when the owners of the great ant
factories understand the matter, they
will put in a different light, and they
with their operatives. will make the
nucleus OF a power which this Ma
ton cannot ignore and which thf
press Of this Nation will have to re
spect. So, while Senator Jones may
be right, while it may be right, while
it may be necessary to organize a sill
yer party between now and the time
for holding the National conventions
he cannot at this time give any tan
gible reasons for his belief that sucl
a movement will win next year
