ron INDEPENDENT FREE COINAGE

The Bimetallic convention in San
Francisco must have been studying
that famous old fable. 1.-THE Farmer
and the Lark" and adopted as its
motto the moral of that fable, for it
resolved that this government should,
at the earliest moment at which it can
be done legally, return to the none
tary policy of the fathers of the re-
public, and at the coinage ratio Of
gold and silver of Is to respectively,
should again permit to individuals the
unlimited coinage of silver and gold
in our nations minis without prefer
ence to either metal" And all this,
and here is the pith of the matter,
without in any way considering the
financial policy of any nation or ma
TONS
1t is well, nay highly desirable, to be
in harmony with the nations on all i'm
portant matters such as this of cur
rency if nothing is thereby sacrificed.
In this case Of currency the harmony
is bought at too dear a price; we pay
too much for our whistle. If in this
matter of the free coinage of silver,
it is said, we cannot afford to ignore
the action of the various nations on
it, is it not pertinent and proper to
ask, can these nations afford to ignore
the action of the United States? This
government is not a small Central or
South American republic without d
great international trade or prestige
and position among the nations, and
what may be absolutely essential to
their existence may not be necessary
to ours. We can force recognition from
europe; they cannot. AS well bay the
moon as wait for International action
on silver. The policy of the friends of
silver in the United States is to con-
centrate all their efforts on Congress
and make those who frame the ma
tons laws pass such laws as will give
the same rights of access to the minis
to silver that are given to gold.
The moral that the lark taught her
little ones was that if you want
thing done, do it yourself This points
the way to free silver in the United
States

PRISON PROBLEMS.

Interesting experiments in penology
are being made in New York and I'LL
nois in the matter of "indeterminate
sentences"
In the first state the Judge, at dis
erection, may sentence the convict for
a term certain or he may sentence him
by fixing a minimum term and a max
imum term of imprisonment In the
case of the latter, or indeterminate sem
tence, the prison board may discharge
or parole the prisoner at any time
after the minimum term has been
served.
The Illinois law reuires that the felon
shall be sentenced to the penitentiary
without a limit of Imprisonment being
fixed, the length of the punishment
being left wholly to the discretion of
the prison board.
These experiments are of the great
est value, there being few questions of
greater interest or Importance to a
community than the successful hand
ling of the prison problem.

PATRIOTISM A NATURAL GROWTH.

1t ought to be generally understood
that patriotism must be a natural
growth. and not forced plant. There is
no reason to believe that person who
wears symbols of religious faith is more
pious than one who wears none, and the
wearing of a flag does not make a man
a patriot. 1t is conceivable that this sort
of effort to compel the display of the ma
tional flag can be made absurd and OBJ
noxious, tending to precisely the feeling
which the friends of flag legislation sim
act. There is a cant of patriotism as we'll
as cant of religion. We Americans are
generally supposed to be particularly
well endowed in the saving graces of
common sense, supplemented and rein
forced by sense of humor, and with
these we should be saved from making
scch laws as this one lately enacted in
Illinois. which is calculated to defeat its
own purposes.-Indianapo News.

1t is strange that in all the clamor and

Their is so little heard nowadays about
the declaration of independence and the

two documents which contain in esssence

away from this creed of freedom. The

these sacred gems of truth, is an eXcep-

PROSPEROUS IN SPOTS.

Mr.. William G. Whitney, in a recent
interview, says that the objection to
the Republican protective system is
that it produces prosperity in spots
at the expense of all other parts of the
country. True. BY creating a demand
for the products of one section of the
country through the unnatural stimu-
lus of a tariff preventing competition
will inevitably have the effect of con-
costing prosperity there. Such con-
dition Of affairs would be greatly de-
sirable if it were not a plain case Of
robbing Peter TO pay Paul. We would
all rejoice to see John prosperous if
but we would justly condemn a sys-
tenn that lined his Golfers by COM
polling James and Robert to contrib
ute TO him of their hard-earned means.
So with a tariff. The sum of pros
perity is not ncreased-taxation can
not accomplish that-but certain in
dustries are fostered by the govern
ment at the expense of other indus
tries. Do the people believe in that
sort of political economy? Do they be-
lieve in that sort of Christianity which
would lead US to loot our neighbors
to enrich ourselves? Do they believe
in the constitutionality of the prop
osition that the powers of the govern
ment may be used to benefit one class
at the expense of another? Do they not
rather believe with Jefferson in Equal
and exact justice to all, special priv
ileges to none?"
