A just Rebuke.

Miss Kate Field in her Washington
speaks Of the pOpullsts as the dds
gruntled tailings" Of both political par
ties" We are very sure Miss Field has
read history, and that she has noted
the fact that. springing in protest out
CT the present which has been nour-
ished by the past, has come every re-
form and all reformers Using her syni--
cism we could mock every noble effort
Of humanity to make better its condi-
tions. We could even sneer at the
great Galileean who was pre-eminently
"disgruntled" with the two old sects,
those soTibes and pharlsees. The cul-
tured editor of the Washington can
not b. excused for her contemptuous
treatment of the reformers Of today.
Her vision is too broad, her historic
sense is too keen, to charge her with
ignorantly reviling the two million
men who demand more complete as
cendancy Of ethics in our civilization.
Her offense consists in yielding to the
rule of the popular Of this culminat-
ing age. She Is foolishly weak In this
particular, and by so yielding she
weaves the shroud Of oblivion for her
self and her paper. Just so did those
Boston editors who reviled William
Lloyd Garrison in the flfties. William
Lloyd Garrison's cause triumphed,
however. He is today one Of the few
immortals yet given to American his
tory. Those fastidious journalists and
publicists who regarded him as a
despicable failing" died when their
their hearts stopped pumping, and
Garrison lives growing greater with
each generation. We remember we'll,
years ago, how all that Miss Field
wrote and spoke had the elemental
strength of reform in 1t. Her love for
humanity was apparent in every para
graph. How mucR we regret the grad
ual hardening Of hV' heart we cannot
tell. Inevitable petrlfastion must follow
If reVulsion to the snobbery Of the
national capital does not take place in
her. She is young enough to see the
"disgruntled tailings" in possession Of
every state legislature in the republic,
and even in possession Of the executive
mansion at Washington. She ought to
know this. She would know, If she
had not been blinded by the glamour
of a corrupt capital and the fattery
of frivolous and flippant -four hun
dred" who have no moro real life and
love than the vegetables of our fields.
The "disgruntled taillngs" indeed! Such
an invidious metaphor is beneath a
woman Of such general strength Of
character. -ProgressiYe Age.

overprOduetIon of whoa.

The best answer to the theory that
overproduction of wheat is the cause
of its low price is to be found in the
Corn Trade Year Book" England,
probably the most reliable authority
published. According to that authority
the worlds wheat crop for 1891 was
2,456,000,000 bushels, and the average
price was Sill per bushel. In 1892 the
crop was 2,440, 100000 bushels. but the
price had fallen to 80 cents. In 1893 the
crop was the same as in 1891, but the
price had fallen to a fraction less than
80 cents. In 1894 beth crop and price
were smaller than any Of the foregoing
figures, the price the lowest on record.
The same authority also shows that in
the period of 1874-84 the population Of
the chief wheat producing countries
was S97, 100000, and the production Of
rye and wheat in those countries per
head of population was 7.OS bushels. In
the next period of ten years, 1854,
with the population increased to 4S4,-
100000, the production of both these
crops per head of population was only
6.S4 bushels.

TO FACE 1T OR DIE!
MCCLURE DIAGNOSES THE DEM
oCRATIC MALADY,
II Is Chaos or Death?-NOt a Single
Hopeful state North, South, East or
West for Democracy = Cleveland

The Times, Dem.,) edited by A. K.
Mcclure, in long editorial headed "Is
1t Chaos or Death?" says: "The atti-
tude Of the democratic organization
before the country today is that of
utter chaos, and the only problem for
the leaders to solve is whether that
once great party can be restored to its
respect and usefulness, or whether the
sequel to It's chaotic condition shall
efface it from the history of American
politics.
To-day the democratic party has
not single hopeful state north Of
Mason and Dlxon's line; it has not a
single hopeful state in the west, and
the southern states are all trembling
in the throes of threatened revolu-
ton.
1.-THE party has been condemned by
the people with an emphasis that has
never been approached in the history
Of our political contests, and the over
whelming defeat Of 1894 called out no
craftsmanship in the democratic coun-
ellis in congress, and Intensified the
madness of democratic lawmakers in
stead Of Christening and recalling them
to the lines Of patriotism.
"But for the heroic integrity and
patriotism Of President Cleveland the
credit of the nation would have been
dishonored, and business chaos and
general distrust must have prevailed
throughout the land.
no party thus poisoned with dis
honesty In its vltals can survive, and If
there is to be a democratic party in
the future 1t must be promptly organ
lied on. the basis of honest government,
honest money, honest taxes, and honest
elections. Perhdy or laundering in
republican craftsmanship will not re-
store the democracy to public conf
dence. 1t may destroy the republican
organization, but it will not revive
democracy. 1t must be in a position
to command the honest men Of every
political faith, or it must die, and If it
cannot retrieve its honor and its fidel-
ity to the country, the sooner it shall
die the better It will be for is followers.
"The time has come when intelligent
and considerate men will cast party
lines to the winds to sustain the integ-
rity Of the national faith and the tram
guilty Of business and trade. The
Times will support no man foP presi-
dent in 1896 who is not squarely for
honest money, for this is the para
mount issue. The tariff question is
settled, not only for the present, but
for the future.
National and state credit must be
established so clearly and positively
that the whole world will accept it, fail.
ing in that we must pay our thcus-
ands Of millions of obligations held
abroad, not one-half of which could be
paid with all the money of every kind
now in existence in the country. That
is the issue the democracy must face,
and 1t must face it now. If It fails to
do so it must die. With the democratic
leaders rests the solution of the prob
lem whether the present overthrow of
democracy shall be temporary chaos or
death. Which shall it be?-People's
Party Paper.

This so-called international confer
ence Is becoming the greatest fraud Of
the age. There is not much likelihood
Of there being any international con-
ference, and II there was nothing would
be done. England will never consent
to silver coinage from the fact she is a
creditor nation and wants dear
money. De Rothschild made this fact
perfectly plain at the last conference
at Brussels. Senator Cockrell sizes up
the situation in pretty good shape in
the following words:
"Their desire Is to make silver mere
ly a subsidiary currency, redeemable
in gold. In fact, they want everything
under the sun redeemable In gold. The
gold Of the world is held by a syndicate
Of bankers, and the elevation Of the
gold standard viii make more profit for
the owners Of the gold than any other
employment to which that metal can be
placed. They regard silver as currency,
and even the president In his letter TO-
day sneaks Of II AZ such"

There is no tragedy like that of
poverty. No pain can grind the human
heart like that which comes to the
husband and wife when they face the
cold fact that he is out of work, and
then look at the tender faces of the
little ones, so confident that the father
can take care Of them. Yet we know
that in thousands Of homes in the hap
py land Of America this tragedy Is be-
ing enacted. II we knew that some
fiend was passing from house to house
killing women, and dashing children's
brains out, how long would the good
people permit It to continue? Yet pow
erty is worse. The slow, dull agony at
heart, the faint flicker Of expectation
when returning feet are heard, the
death weight on the heart when she
reads on his face mo work. This Is
pain which no rich and happy woman
can understand. One must feel it-one
must know how cruelty precious a dol

It Is urged that RUSSIA and India are
pouring out wheat in extraordinary
quantities. In truth, the exports Of
Russian wheat, last year, were less than
in 1890 and 1891. India began to export
wheat only after 1873. She does 50
because her great annual tribute to
England, like ours, is paid in commodl-
ties; and as prices fall, a greater guam
tity is required to pay the same amount
Of debt. India and Russia are famine
countries. The people have no surplus
food for export. When they do export
food. they do so because they must, not
at all because they have more than
they can eat.

Tho Theory of OverproductIon.

An attempt has been made to account
for the fall Of prices upon the theory
that there is overproductiOn. 1t is un-
reasonable to ask us to believe Ghat
there has been an Overproductlon all
along the lire for twenty years, and the
fact that millions of men have not
enough food or clothing is sufficient to
demonstrate that the theory is absurd.
Take wheat for example. The belief is
general that this country constantly
expands its wheat growing area. In
truth, we had 100000 acres less In
wheat in 1890 than we had in 1880. The
wheat crops of the world are not ex-
cessive. They do not increase as fast as
the requirements Of the population de-
mand. Here are the figures for ten

Think OF The Future

Despite all that has been urged in be-
half of sensible forest supervision in this
country, the ruthless destruction goes on
almost undated, Only about quarter of
the timber cut year by year has its place
supplied by new growth. 1t is easy t. S"e
how short a time will elapse at Iii + 't'-
before the land is bare and the streams
dried up.
Mr.. Fernow, Chief of the Forestry Divis
ion of the United State, Department OF
Agriculture, estimate the value of our tim
Der lana at thousand millions of dollars
Surely this is property worth caring for.
Two plans for helping to put things on
sound basis have lately been proposed
Mr.. Fernow advocates a law establishing
an American college of forestry. Profess
or Sargent, of Harvard, u.gests the es-
tablishment of a chair of forestry at West
Point, with the view of ultimately using
the army in part to preserve the forests.
Perhaps both ideas might be carried out in
dependently W tn good results. Certainly
all possible educational means should be
used to place our people on level as to in
formation with those of France and Ger
many.
Forest fires alone are said to destroy ten
million dollars worth of timber annually.
Intelligent forests wardens could prevent
much of this. Waste-the greedy cutting
of large and small trees at once sweep-de-
strOys more than fires. If we are to have
any forests left at all, the United States
government and then the several states

maintaining forest preserves.
