placidly replied:

siIrerites I'm n Corner.

No sooner does a siIverite make an as
ssrtion in the support Of the free coinage
OF silver than it is taken up by the friends
Of sound money and shown TO be incor-
rect. In fact. the siIverltcs have me.
with such poor success in thesr efforts TO
find arguments TO sustain their POSI-
ton that they now seem TO be afraid 10
venture 10 say anything that commands
the attention Of thinking men. They are
not lacking in appeals 20 passion ana
prejudice. and such appeals comprise the
bulk of what they have to say on the ell
Yer question. Has anybody seen salts
factory reply to the sound money speeches
o. Secretary CarlsIe2 There has been TO
such reply. Blackburn. and Bryan, and
Stewart, and the rest Of the silver ora
tors. who are chiefly noted for the vol
ume of their voices, have attempted 10
answer Mr. Carlisle, by quoting speeches
he made seventeen years ago against the
speeches he has made recently. and that
is the extent OF their attempts to an
swer Mr.. Carlisle.
one OF the favorite assertions Of tho
silverites has been. and SIN IS to some
extent that gold has appreciated, ana
that that is the reason why the prices
of many articles are lower now than they
were twenty years ago. II gold has
appreciated it ought TO buy more land
now than it would in 1873. But is it a
fact that $1,000 in gold win bay more
land now than it would in 1913? 1t Ger.
tainly isn't fact. The assessed value CO
al the land in the United States increased
30 per cent from 1870 to 1890, while the in
crease in population was only 81 per-
cert. What better evidence is needed
than this to show that gold has not APP
preciated?
Another argument that the silverites
are always addressing to the farmers IS
that there has been an extraordinary
fan in the prices Of farm products. There
has been a fail in the prices Of wheat
and cotton, bat the prices Of other farm
products. having fully as great a value
as wheat and cotton, have not fallen. ami
the prices Of wheat and cotton have adj
vanced greatly within the last two
months.
But even when the price OF wheat was
90. cents a bushel and that Of cotton
cents pound, wheat and cotton were
about as valuable to the formers as they
We're in 1873, because the money obtained
for them will purchase nearly twice as
many articles of the same kind as they
would in 1873. Taking into account the
cost of what the farmers have to buy.
they are about as well off as when they
got 81 a bushel for wheat and s or Q cents a
pound for cotton.
1t is unfortunate for the siIverites that
the facts and arguments are against
them. 1t is CALLING for them to be forced
to let argument alone. to deal sparineiv
with assertions and to rely for success
almost wholly upon appeals TO passion ana
prejudice.

Dealing Gently With Him.

The authorities of South Dakota appear
to be dealing very gently with Taylor. the
defaulting state treasurer. On his arrival
at the state capital he was met by friends
who greeted him as if he was stfl an
honored official and had just returned
from a pleasant journey TO Washington
or New York. There Is, of course. n good
deal Of Indignation among people of the
state who believe that Taylor should be
treated and dealt with just as any other
criminal is dealt with. They cannot IN
derstand why so many of his old acouain-
tances and cronies gather around him and
endeavor to give out the impression that
he is more sinned against than SHINING
If that is the way South Da-
kota state defaulters are to be
treated, honesty and honor are likely to
be at a discount among the officials of that
state.
There does not seem to be any doubt
that compromise Of some sort has been
agreed upon. The amount that Taylor got
from the state is sS5O.O0O. OF this sum he
took 100000 after his bondsmen knew he
was a defaulter. The suppos.tion is that
he took the latter amount with the hope
of using it in some way to effect a COM
promise How much of it he has left is
not known, but it is thought he has about
$4,000, and that this sum will be turned
back to the state. together with some land
which Taylor is said to have. The chances
are the land is not worth much. If it were
it would have been seized by Taylor's
! bondsmen long ago.
1t would be better for South Dakota,
from any point of view. to have Taylor
punished to the fun extent of the law.
If he were made an example of there
would be healthier public sentiment, not
| only among South Dakota officials, but
| also among the people of the state.

Capt. William Leavitt of Portland, Ne,
an old skipper of deep sea ships, has
compiled from the records a list of all
the full-rigged ships ahoat that are now
flying the American flag. He finds the
number to be only 1S2. The number or
American barks is insignificant. and the
American schconers are nearly all en-
gagged in the coastwise trade. Hence, it
Will be seen that the 1S2 ships are about
ell of the sailing craft that the United
States have in the foreign carrying trade.
What a pitiable showing! Not long ago
there was not foreign port of any conse-
quence in which could not be found the
tail spars and the stars and stripes of the
yankee merchantmen. Now they are sell
dem seen. The Republican party has
protected" them out of existence.

The Harris Case.

The verdict Of the cOroner's jury in the
! case Of the dead convict. Harris. is evi-
/ IDENTITY a conscientious ono. and appears
10 be a very fair che. The jury gave a
7 good deal Of time 10 the case, being deter
mined. II possible. 10 geth: the truth. The
purpose was 10 discover whether or not
/ Harris was whipped 20 death, and IL so,
/ who was responsible FOR his death.
The jury agrees that Harris death was
due to ralarial fever but says shat he
was h,ppcd when he was unable to work,
and that the whipp.nss administered TO
him were unjustdable. The inference
from the verdict is that if Harris
had not been whipped and had re-
ceived proper medical attention as soon
| as be complained Of being III, he might
Z not have died at the time he did
Il is regrettable that there should be any
scandals connected with the mana cement
OF the county convicts. There are Ger
tain TO be such scandals from time to
time, however, unless there IS some one
put i'm charge of them whose sole duty it
is TO he constantly at the camps. direct
ing them in their work and seeing that
those who are uadt for work. because Of
sickness or physical weakness. 'are dealt
with as common sense and humanity die
tates, and who is made responsible for the
proper management OF the cOnvicts and
for failures to enforce such regulations as
the county commissioners may provide.
1t IS impossible for the county commits
sioners. or for the chairman of the chain
gang committee to give much time to the
oversight of the convicts. Duty of that
kind is not expected Of them. They are
business and professional men, who can
do no more than direct the affairs of the
county. They cannot give a portion of
their time every day to details. Neither
can the county engineer give such super
vision Of the convlcts as viii prevent
abuses Of authority and instances of
cruelty-that is, unless he devotes his
whole time TO that duty, which he cannot
do and attend to his other duties.
No doubt the new rules in respect TO
whipping convicts, which have been pro-
mulgated by the chairman of the chain
gang committee, Will have the effect of
lessening Instances of cruelty and pre-
venting scandals; still, it is doubtful, If
it will prevent them altogether. What
is needed is such change in the manage
ment Of the convicts as pointed out.
That the convicts are a bad lot is ad-
mitted. No doubt the conduct of many
of them is such as to invite cruelty. They
viii not work if they can avoid doing so,
and are sullen. impudent and lazy. They
have TO be whipped Otherwise they
could not be managed. But they are help
less in the hands Of the law. and at the
mercy of those who have control of them.
\ good deal Of judgment, therefore, is
necessary in the mana cement Of them, and
in view of the fact that most Of them
are of a low order of intelligence, a little
kindness and mercy might be as effec-
tive IN securing compliance with the regu-
lations as severity.

The Supreme Temple of the Silver
Knights of America was Incorporated at
Alexandria, Va, a few days ago. The gen.
eral objects were declared to be to estab-
hsh a secret society for the purpose of
seeking to secure the free coinage of silver
at the ratio of 1G TO ], and TO collect and
TO expend money for that purpose. W. NJ.
Stewart, populist, of Nevada, who is now
in Kentucky for the purpose of instructing
Kentucky democrats as to how they
should vote, is one Of the incorporators.
The political scheme that has to depend
upon secret societies and passwords for
its furtherance IS evidently too weak to
come out into the open and be judged ac-
cording to its merits. The ku-klux khan
was secret political society.

The Rich Relation.
From Birmingham Age-Herald Der

In a general way the disastrous influ-
cnce of the rich relation is apparent We
will suppose that Good Times is the
rich relation of the free silverites. Just
see how they abuse him. They say that
his visit Is inopportune at this time-it
thwarts their purpose to have free silver.
SO they abuse and berate him. All his
presents are looked upon with suspicion.
and causes a feeling of animosity instead
of gratitude. They prefer to be let alone
in their poverty. They hug hard times
to their bosom. They make a fetish of
their poverty and fall down and worship it.

DAILY Coin" is dead. 1t was the paper
started some weeks ago by Coin" Harvey
of Chicago for the purpose of propa-
eating his free silver ideas--or idea, more
properly speaking, for he had but one
to impart to his paper. And that soil
tary idea was too small and too weak
for the paper to live upon. Harvey saw
the way things were going, and like the
shrewd fellow that he is. concluded that
he would not sink any OF the money he
had made from his book in the running
of the paper. He was willing to supply
the people with all of the free coinage
education" they might want so long as
they would pay for it, but he had no idea
of paying for it himself. He had not
been a western land boomer for nothing.
He knew precisely when to let go; hence
he dropped the daily free silver paper as
soon as the novelty OF it began to wear
off with its readers Having squeezed
the free coinage lemon pretty well. Har-
vey does not propose to put any of the
juice into circulation that he can keep
for himself. Harvey is smart 1t takes
a smart man to be a western land
agent and set out of the boom at the right
time. as the Atlanta CONSTITUTIONS sketch
of Harvey says he did.
