With regard to the statement made last
week that a question had been raised
whether the law of 1894, calling for the
payment of all above ten per cent of agency
profits into the state treasury, could be
made to apply to the sales of the last year,
is to be said that State Treasurer Field
holds that under law passed in 1882
towns are required to sell liquors as nearly
at actual cost price as possible, and the
town must therefore pay to the state the
balance of profits called by the law of 1894.
In former years, in estimating the profits of
the agency, due account was not made of
rent and some other expenses. In the fig
ures above given there are included an item
of 5000 for rent and one of 500 as the
agency's share OF interest paid by the town
for money borrowed to pay bills. Ten per
cent of $1,000 40, the amount Of sales, de-
Quoted from Sl233.96, the balance of profits
shows only 1907 to be paid over to the
state.

SILVER IN KENTUCKY.

From the triumphant and ieerinp.
remarks of some Republican journ-
ais, their readers would be led IN ha-
heVe that the cause of silver in the
state Of Kentucky was entirely pros
trafed. The vote on the silver cues
ton In that gathering was not def
mite and direct, although it could be
ratlonally construed as against free
coinage, because it was an endorse
ment of Cleveland and Carlisle and
also of the currency plank of the plat
form of 1892 The final vote unon #
however, showed two hundred and
thirty-three and fraction cast by
genuine silver delegates, not two or
twenty-five" as variously reiterated
by a paper which has no regard for
truth or consistency.
tThe nomination of a candidate for
Governor who is known to be a strong
advocate of free silver coinage, is high
~ encouraging to Democrats who
would otherwise feel cast down as to
the prospects If liver in Kentucky.
To offset THAI ray of sunshine
cloud of gloom has been manu-
featured by some Republican papers
and repeated with glee in Utah. The
story has been widely circulated that
Senator Blackburn had been ''muz-
zled by the state central committee
so that he could not freely discuss
the silver question in the campaign
now commenced. But it appears that
this is a piece of sheer fiction. The

Specials to some of the leading
papers declare that the consultation

and the Democratic state committee
Resulted in q complete Waterloo for

mittee." An attempt was made to con-
strue the resolution to which we have
referred as a declaration in favor of
the single gold standard, which Hardin
would have to stand by, and that all
who We're not willing to accept it in
that light should get out of the
party
But this reused a storm of oppo-
sition. 1t was contended by silver
committeeman that the Chicago plat
form, re-affiirlned by the Louisville
resolution, declared for the use of
both gold and silver as the standard
money of the country. There was no
gold recommendation in that.
Blackburn took the same view Of
the platform. and repudiated the
idea that either he or the nominees
of the convention should be muzzled
on that question. He declared he had !
supported the administration when it
was right and opposed it when it
was wrong. That the silver question
was yet to be settled by Congress
and he had not changed, nor would |
he change his opinion or advocacy of |
the double standard. lie said Hardin |
could not evade a discussion of the |
silver question if he would. and he |
knew that Hardin had no disposition |
to maintain a cowardly silence.
John w. Thompson, a close per- |
sonal friend and fellow townsman of /
General Hardin, spoke in accord with |
the sentiments of Blackburn, Rhea |
and other silver men. The motion I
was thoroughly exploded thai the
financial question was TO be in any
way suppressed, or that Hardin and I
Blackburn were to be dictated to by

Republican papers which have been
hugging the delusion that Blackburn
had been ''muzzled on the silver ques-
tion," and that Hardin is not a sill
yer man because he was nominated
by the Louisville convention for Gov
ernor of Kentucky, will have to drop
that crumb of comfort and the hon
est among them will cease to repeat
the story that silver men in Kentucky
are muzzled. The other kind will, no
doubt, repeat the fiction, as our
morning contemporary does its pal
pable falsehood about the vote on
silver at Louisville.

THEY WILL BE SATISFIED.

1t is reported that Senator Dubois
has stated in Washington that 'FThe
next Republican national convention
will make "a declaration for silver
which will be satisfactory to the Re
publicans of the silver states"
1t is possible that the Senator is
responsible for that prediction. 1t is
| by no means certain that he made it,
because it comes in a dispatch from
VIGOROUSLY inexac't correspondent
whose manufactures of purported in
terviews which never took place have
appeared from time to time in the
columns of a near contemporary. But
taking the report as true, what does
it signify?
A declaration which will be salts
factory to the Republicans of the sill
yer states may mean very little or
very much. Dubois does not say that
the Republican party is likely ito de-
clare for the free and unlimited coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.
He does not announce that the party
will probably declare for independent
bimetallism. What he no doubt has
in mind is the we'll known subser-
vience of all Republicans to the
domination Of the heads Of the party.
Whatever they shall decide will be
accepted as satisfactory to the Re
publicans of the silver states as well
as those of other states.
Witness the perfect satisfaction of
the straddlers in coming away from
the Denver convention of 1894. Pro-
fessed stalwart champions Of free and
unlimited and independent coinage of
silver Immediately, who declared they
would have nothing else than that in
the resolutions to be adopted, came
back like CANNES with their tails
drawn down and tucked in, and said
that the straddle which has ever
since been a derision and a byword
among real bimetallists was entirely
satisfactory and all that could be de
sired.
The same or worse with the conven-
tion at Cleveland. Silver Republicans
blowing a silver horn, waving a sill
yer standard and carrying a device
which declared that nothing else but
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer at 16 to l would be accepted by
them, and that if that were denied
they would 'bolt the convention
came back wearing a broad simle of
complete content because that con-
vention, fearing to face the issue,
suddenly became dumb and concluded
it had no right to say anything about
silver or any thing else that was a
public issue.
No doubt the Republican national
convention will make a declaration
for silver which will be satisfactory
to such Republicans as have hereto
fore represented the silver states. 1t
will readopt the resolution of 1892, by
which it now stands and has ever
stood since the party cast down silver
and stamped it into the mire in 1873.
Genuine free coinage silver Republi-
cans will come to the same conclusion
that Senators Jones and Stewart ar
rived at: There is no hope for sill

who did not know they Were placed

which they have been paying heavy
interest, and that this has been a

business as a matter of duty having
the welfare of the community in

VERY POOR KIND OF "ARGuMENr''

We notice that a great many news
papers of the goldite persuasion are
endeavoring to besmirch the personal
character of Mr.. Harvey, the author Of
Coins Financial School, All kinds
of stories are in circulation concerning
the gentlemen, and the endeavor is
made to show that he has been en-
gagged in questionable if not fraudulent
transactions. One of the latest Of these
appears in the columns of the New
York Sun and purportS to have been
written at Pueblo, Colorado. 1t de-
nounces Harvey as a Kansas real
estate boomer, and accuses him of
running a Fake Mineral Palace" in
Pueblo. The Denver News publishes
complete REPUTATION of these false
hoods. The record of w. H. Harvey
in Pueblo shows him to be public
spirited and honorable citizen. We do
not believe that his enemies can sue
coed in proving anything against his
personal character.
But supposing they could find flaw
in the gentleman'S armor, what would
that have to do with the truth or fall
sity of the arguments which he has
presented on the question of the free
coinage of silver? If it were true that
he had built a fake palace-whatever
that might mean-in Colorado or else
where, would that prove that it was
right to demonetize silver in 1873? If
it could be established that Mr.. Har-
vey had failed in any public or pri-
vate enterprise, would that Demon
strate that it would be wrong to re-
store silver as the money of the United
States on an equality with gold at
the ratio of 16 to 1?
The kind of argument resorted to by
these opponents of Mr.. Harvey's finan-
cial doctrines is after the style of logic
% Of the Salt Lake Tribune. Prove
that it has made an error on Come
vital issue and it will show to the con-
trary by calling it's opponent a
scrub" Corner it in a dispute in
reference to any fact, and it will reply
with the unanswerable argument, "You
are snake. Bring up before it the
assertions it has made

tempt to prove that it was right all
the time by accusing It's adversary
with being "scurvy, mendacious lit
tie vermin." No matter how clearly it
may be shown that a proposition it
has made or an occurrence it has re-
lated is untrue, it seems to be under
the impression that if it can accuse the
person or paper exposing it's blunders
of something improper, that will cover
up all its own delinquencies and estab-
lish it as sound and right.
The defenders of the single gold
standard will not help their cause
