You brought such joys. such sorrows keen,
Such mingled pain and ecstasy,
I cannot lightly let you go:
But pause awhile to shed tear
That you should lie SO low, old Year.
How blithe you were when first we net!
"A flying chorus round you sung.
The snowdrops peeped to see you pasa.
And where your hasty foot you set
Deep violets and field daisies hung
Their trembling blossoms on the grass:
And hope. with swiftly-moving wing.
You brought to make eternal spring.
A grass-green kirtle next you wore,
And gathered wild-fiowers In the wood,
Sweet odors all around you stole
Forth from the chalice that you bore.
Knee-deep in tangled brakes you stood:
The red sun cast an aureole
About your golden head, old Year,
And that glad vision brought me cheer.
Then with sheaf of ripened grain
Laid close against your heaving breast,
And crowned with purple grapes. you
came.
I marked the brown and stubby plain.
marked the forests waving crest.
With tufts and branches all afiame.
With every feature grown more dear.
loved you daily more. old Year.
At last the solemn winter laid
Its diamond crown upon your brow;
The icieles hung on the caves;
And deep within the beechen glade
The bare trees In the blast did bow
Their heads all shorn of crisp. brown
leaves.
You taught me how old age might be
Made grand by simple majesty.
Now CARRIED and silent for the tomb,
You lie before me still and white.
With burning tears I say: "Good-by."
And take from out the darkened room
The happy hopes that once were bright.
In guise of tender memory,
What most was precious cannot die.
Old Year. although so low you lie

ment OF silver when they came into full

made by the Democracy when 1t succeeded
to full power In the spring of 1898. The
Republicans In the campaign of 1883 prom
ised, IL intrusted with control, to enact
legislation favorable to silver This was in
compliance with the demands Of the free
coinage members Of tho party in tho west.
The Republicans won at the polls, and the
Sherman act Of 1890 was the redemption
Of that promise. 1t was not all that the
silver Republicans desired, but they &C.
cepted 1t as an evidence Of good faith on
the part OF the gold faction OF tho party
The Democrats In the campaign Of 1899
promised, II put into full control, to enact
legislation favorable to silver. The Sher-
man act had disappointed everybody, its
author included, dnd the Democrats not
only denounced 1t and demanded its repeal,
but declared the purpose, II the necessary
Legislative majority should be given them,
to put something In It's place that would
be entirely acceptable to the friends Of sil-

Such Is to be the text Of much Of next
years Republican stumping on the silver
question. The free coinage men are to
be plainly told that they owe their existing
discom4t tuh TO the Democratic triumph Of
1899. They are to be assured that had the
Republican party been kept in power sill
ver's interests would have been considered
and respected. The Sherman act would
probably have been repealed, as was done
On Mr.. Cleveland's recommendation, but
that would have been followed by some
measure upon which both gold and silver
men could have stood and which would
have insured silver larger usefulness as
redeeming money In the currency of the
country. Washington Star
