considerable part of the Democratic
leaders, including the President, repudiat-
ed it and stigmatized it practically as a
base and ignoble surrender. Since that
time, however, these leaders have sur
rendered and are to-day sounding the
praises of the German Wilson law. They
have apparently laid aside their inten-
ton OF treating it only as vantage
gound' or of reconstructing it on the
lines laid down in the last Democratic
platform. They have accepted
it as final expression of the Democratic
view of what tariff law should be, aud
in SO doing have practically given in
their endorsement to protection for pro-
tection's sake. 1t has come to this
therefore, that the only difference be-
tween the two parties on the tariff con-
Germs the application of protection, how
much there shall be and how it shall be
distributed. To the doctrine, itsslf the
Democratic party has practically COM
mitted itself If therefore there is going
to be a tariff battle in the next campaign
it is going to be simply a battle of sched-
ules, unless the Democrats are going to
turn tail again and repudiate anew the
Germany Wilson bill.

MAGAZINE NOTICES.


Maine Outings for September has
reached us and we are glad to note the
constant improvement in this excellent
magazine. Mechanically Maine Outing
is gem and it's contents are in no way
inferior, while it's illustrations compare
favorably with those of other periodicals.
Among the contents we mention the fol-
lowing as of more than usual interest.

excellent portrait of MIR. Reed by Dyer as
a frontispiece. The Mystery of Petite
Manan Point, being the first chapter OF

lures of a boy under the black flag OF
Capt. Kidd Mathews which is the nom
de plume Of we'll known magazine
writer, contributes in this number a
wierd and intensely interesting romance
of hypnotisn, entitled Aimee. National
guardsmen, indeed Others, will find good
matter in the article on the recent Muster

replete with bright and newsy matter OF

The Sultan has apparently become con-
WINGED that he must yield in some meas
ure to the wishes of the Powers in regard
to Armenia. Whether his opinion of the
amount of interference to be permitted to
the Christian nations will suit the Gov
arnments of those countries is now the
question. He is willing to appoint
Christian gendarmes and to give the
Embassies of Russia, Great Britain and
France the rights TO apply directly to the
Permanent Committee OF Control for in
formation regarding affairs in the prov
inces of Armenia, but no Christian vail

ed between Mohammedans and Christians
in proportion to the relative numbers Of
these two classes of religionists. This is
only small fraction of the concessions
demanded by the powers, and it is not at
all likely that they will accept them as
sufficient. More pressure will be put
upon the Sultan, and he will yield more,
but he will stop short of yielding every
thing, if possible.

AS far as any distinctive principle or
policy is concerned there is at present
very little difference between the attitude
of the two parties toward the tariff. In
tween them was sharply defined. The
Democrats were, as far as profession was
concerned at least, for a tariff for revenue
only, and the Republicans for tariff
that should raise revenue and at the same
timo protect American industries from
foreign competition When Congress
met the line began to fade out, and when
it adjourned the Democrats had passed

lection was SO clearly recognized, that a

HALL AND BLAND.
Two Missouri Stastemen Discuss the
Silver Question.
They Disagree on the Mater of the Rotio
but Both Want Free
Coinage.

Congressman U. S. Hall, brother of
Marshal f. l.. Hall, of this territory had
debate with K. p. Bland in Missouri
recently and the following extracts will
prove OF interest:
"Nlr. Bland comes to you," said Mr..
Hall, "to remove every lingering doubt
that You may have on the silver oues.
tlon. Ii Dick Bland cannot remove
these doubts, then no other man can do
it,"
Continuing his personal remarks, he
referred to the experience that MIR.
Bland had had in debate, and his life
time study OF the question that he was
about to discuss.
with this preface, he stated the prop
osltions upon which they were agreed.
1t would be agreed between them that

favored the lowest ratio at which a par
ity could be maintained. He agreed
with that statement; so did Jefferson
and Benton.
"Mr. Bryan once said to me-" said
the speaker, "that all the political
economists are with him on this oues-
tion. | now make the assertion, and
challenge Mr.. Bland to reply to it, that
there is not political economist on the
face OF the globe OF reputation who adj
vocates the independent free coinage OF
silver at ratio OF IS to l."
At this interesting juncture, the seats
in front OF the platform gave way.
While Mr.. Hail was watching the crowd,
one OF his admires shouted out:
"Pull off your coat, Riley"
. 'There are too many ladies' here, :"
said the congressman, and, turning to
Bland, inquired:
Are you going to take off your ceat?"
&c always do when get warm said
the great silver apostle.
Mr.. Hall discussed briefly Mr.. Bland :
declaration in his Sedalia speech that ii

$625, 600, GOO oi gold from this country il
would simply increase the price OF tile
products OF the gold-using countries.
al it would increase prices by send
ing gold there" asked the speaker, why
wouldn't it increase prices by leaving i,
here?
a further quotation form the Srdalia
speech was made, where Alr. Bland a..
serted tha! Tree silver coinage by the
United States would give thls cJdhtry a
monopoly OF the trade with othrr coun.
tries on silver basis and make New

cussed. Answering the anticipated ar
gument that foreign countries bad forceC
the United States to Il gold standard
the speaker asserted that England's cul
OF happiness would 90 to silver basis
and thus force her out OF the markets o
the civilized world. These remark
brought Mr.. Hall to the propositions
upon W Mhich he stood.
The eagle. (Silver City, N.M.) 1894-1???, 1895-08-14

10 you DelleVe, my friends, that
Thomas Jefferson was dictated to by
England right after we had licked her?"
A eulogy on the founder OF democracy
followed, and this quotation from the
writings OF Jefferson was given, intended
to show that the sage Of Monticello had
all the time contended that the ratio be-
tween the metals was purely mercan-
tile problem. Said jefferson:
"The proportion between the value OF
gold and silver is a mercantile problem
altogether. The legal proportion in
Spain is l6 for / ; in England, l51a for |
in France, Is for |. Just principles will
lead us to disregard legal proportions
altogether; to inquire into the market
price OF god in the several countries
with which we shall be principally con-
nected in commerce, and to take an av-
erage from them. Perhaps we might
with safety lean to proportions some
what above par for gold considering our
neighborhood and commerce, with the
sources OF the coins and the tendency
which the high price OF gold in Spain
has to draw thither all that OF their
mines, leaving silver principally for our
and other markets."
Next came the following quotation
from Thomas II. Benton, answering the
same position, Mr. Benton said;
"rhis was not the time 10 discuss the
relative value OF gold AID silver, nor to
urge the particular proportion which
ought to he established between them.
