In Paul Isenberg'S letter to an
evening paper he holds with great
tenacity to the necessities of the
contract labor system. The iron
manufacturers and coal miners of
the United States did the same
thing; they must have slave labor
or bankruptcy would follow.
Such was the cry, but subsequent
history has never furnished one
item to support their claim. Mr..
Isenberg's general plan for future
conduct of affairs seems to be to
the effect that the United States
give Hawaii complete freedom of
trade. from which Hawaii gains
everything and the United States
something. This is a good the
DRY, but one thing the business
men and politicians of this cOun-
try can put down as a fOregOne
conclusion = let annexation fail,
and a blow will Immediately be
struck at the Reciprocity Treaty.
Indeed we are not SO sure that
the blow will not be threatened
during the Congress now in SEES
sion. Without the treaty and with
out annexation, Hawaii will be
held at arms length, an indepen
dent nation which the United
States will not allow any other
nation to control politically or
commercially. The United States
is big enough and has lingo

DECEMBER 9.
SOUTH AFRICAN PROGRESS

territory OF South AFRICA Is at
tracing the attention of the
world. The days of North Ameri-
can history when fortunes We're
picked up in the street" are be
ing repeated in the dark CONT
nent. and a flood of immigrants
and a wrangling of nations to win
the spoils of new and wealthy ter
ritOry is the natural result.
The similarity to early Ameri-
can days is indeed very marked.
There is the motley array of colo
nists and the flags of Europe set
up here and there and jealousy
guarded; the aboriginal race that
has enough fighting quality to
make sufficiently hazardous the
life of the frOntiersman; and
last but by no means least is
anapparently spontaneous growth
of republican spirit which holds
independence as q boon to be
bought dearly if need be, and
never sold at any cost. This re
publicanism growing up in the
dark continent will undoubtedly
be heard from more positively as
years roll by.
On these general lines the SINH
Iarity holds, but in the treatment
of the savage races a South Afrl-
can writer maintains the people
of the new territory are prOfiting
by the unfortunate mistakes
which take not a little of the
glamOr from the civiliZing forces
that were active in the Western
hemisphere. The Americans wip-
ed out the savage. In Africa the
savage shows an adaptibility to
the conditions of civilization, and
it is hoped that assimilation may
take the place of determination.
The writer also notes another
strong point of dissimilarity which
we give in his own words: IF
South Africa ever is absolutely in
dependent it will come, not as in
America, by bloOdshed and long
arrangement, but gradually and
by natural process. 1t may never |
assume the form of federation in |
any comprehensive sense, but two |
or three broad propositions may |
be confidently enunciated. There |
will be a steady advance in the |
cause of order and civilization. |
The tendency will be toward rep |
resentatiOn in all departments of |
government. The dominating char
acter of the radical movement will |
be AnglO-SaXOn. OF this last there |
can be no possible doubt. There is
substance and vitality in Eng
lish civilization by which it acts
on other civilizations like a dis
solving acid, converting them into
its own essential quality. This is
most noticeable in the United |
States, where the population is
so heterogeneous; and yet the civ
ilizatiOn is as ,distinctively Eng
lish as on the island whence it |
sprang. So there may be expected
a new Africa in the course of the
next century, just as we have
seen new America in the present
one"
That South African indepen-
dence may be attained without
bloodshed and by natural process
is certainly to be hoped and pray
ed for. 1t scenes hardly possible
that modern civilization has reach
ed for. 1t seems hardly possible
1ispassionately and not resort to
force: but if the South Africans
,an demonstrate that the day has
lrrived, it will be hailed with de-
light the world over.

This campaign has not called out any
more vigorous protest against the danger
Gus views embodied in the Chicago plat
form and promulgated by Mr.. Bryan than
that of Archbishop Ireland, of st. Paul. 1t
is equally notable on account of the official
standing of the person making it and for
the holiness, clearnesS and force with
which he announces his views. Archbishop
Ireland, though of foreign birth is a
thorough American. He served as chaplain
of the Fifth Minnesota Regiment during
the civil war, and though his duties as a
prelate of the Roman Catholic Church have
since been onerous and important, he has
never forgotten his duties as an American
citizen. He is a welcome and popular
speaker at soldiers assemblages. and his
voice is always for law and order and good
government. He sees nothing in the pro-
fession or duties of IN ecclesiastic to pre-
vent him from holding and expressing
views on public questions involving the well
fare of the country or the principles of
morality, and no man expresses himself in
better form or more to the point. While
he recognizes the essential dishonesty of
the demand for the free coinage of silver
and the disasters it would infict upon the
country. and especially on the working
classes, he regards as still more threatening
the spirit of lawlessness and anarchy that
pervades the Chicago platform and the
speeches of Mr.. Bryan. He looks behind
the free-silver disguise and sees the
dangers that are masquerading in its name.
Many adherents of the movement" he
do not perceive its full meaning, but
let them beware. They are lighting torches
which, borne in the hands of reckless men,

of Indiana, who, although regarding the
matter from a different point of view

as a petition, and now 1t is being scattered
broadcast over the country as if it were
an appeal which the officers of organized
labor had recently got together TO con-
slider and sign with a view of influencing
the thousands of men who nave honored
them with leadership.
The Bryan managers are too reckless to
be skillful knaves. They should nave re-
tanned this appeal until a week before the
election and then plastered the dead walls
with it, as they did in 1880 with the Morey
letter, put forth to defeat General Garfield.

with the manipulation of statistics by

Biaine's speech by the paid rascals of the
silver literary bureau and the garbling of
the message of Abraham Lincoln by Bryan,

Chicago Post.


One transparency borne by our faithful
followers in last nights unparalleled DEM
onstration does not wholly satisfy us. 1t
reads: "Bryan, the Moses of the People,"
We have the greatest respect for Moses.
albeit he was never able to get more than
a sight of the omise land, and we re-
call with the most pleasurable fe IS the
fact that he destroyed the gol ,alf.
thereby saving the children of Isl rom
the dreadful consequences Whit were
about to follow the introduction O.. the
golden standard. 1t will be urged by our
opponents that the anger of the Lord was
directed against the calf per Sc. and not
against the material of which it was con-
structed, but We regard this a mere eva
sion for political effect. Our personal pref
erences, however, are for Abraham and not
for Moses. Abraham was the original To-
to-1 man, and one of his first business
transactions, as related in the vastly en-
tertaining Book of Genesis. was to make
a purchase of land for the establishments of
a cemetery on a silver basis. We therefore
take pleasure in regarding Mr.. Bryan as
our A~braham-not that he intends to con-
vert the silver of the country to general
cemetery uses, but because ne held it firm
~ at its true standard of value and did not
depend uDon the Philistines and other for
elgners for an international agreement.
Hereafter we shall insist that Abraham
shall be properly recognized by our party
along with Washington, Lincoln, jefferson
and other undoubted Popocrats.

IDLE ASSUMPTIONS

A correspondent writes that the silverites
in his section go further than the silver
organs and orators. The latter maintain
that under free coinage silver will rise in
| price and gold will fall until they will be at
a parity. The silverites in his locality, who
doubtless want the cheapest and meanest
dollar possible, maintain that under free
coinage silver will remain in price where
it is, while gold will come down all the
way to meet it. These silverites declare
that there is not half enough gold to form
the basis of the worlds money standard,
and yet that it will 50 suddenly increase
when the country shall declare for free
silver coinage that it will fall so per cent.
This SORT OF chatter is beneath a fair quail
~ Of idiocy.
1t is true that the worlds stock Of g3ld is
rapidly increasing, the annual output of
the mines having considerably more than
doubled since 1853, but The precious meta! is
in much larger demand than is silver. Our
s625, 900, eco, more or less, would not he equal
to the product of the mines for three years.
and the gold nations would so quickly abb
sorb the portion of it not needed to settle
foreign balances that it would not ma
terially affect the price. But what about
silver? Prior to 1873 the worlds highest
product of silver in any one year was $685.
2E0, 0O0. The average annua output for the
ten years previous to 1871 was less than
$50, 900, 900, and yet, with this yield, the
Latin Union, composed of more than 20, 0o0,-
000 of people, using silver money almost eX-
clusively, was compelled to suspend free
coinage of silver in 1873. None of the COM
mercial nations Of Europe are coming sill
YER on private account, while the worlds
yield of silver in 1894, coinage value. was
$216, S92, 200. According to Mllhall. the IN
coined silver in the world was valued at
81, 1885, 00, 600 in 1920. The total output of tie
mines from 1890 to 1896 was over $1,000, DOC. 00o.
If half of the latter has been coined there
must be of uncoined silver in the world
considerably more than enough to coin into
$3.50. OcO, 900 Of silver dollars. This silver is
now worth Sc cents an ounce III the market.
If this government should offer to coin
it into dollars which would be worth $1.29
an ounce TO pay debts with, silver would
seek our shores and bury our mints. For
a short time the market price of silver
might advance with free coinage, but in Il
short time our silver dollars, like those of
Mexico, would be worth at home in pur-
chase power what they would be worth in
the market as bullion. We cannot lift
tie worlds stock of silver, with the almost
liuitless capacity of the worlds silver
mines, to anything like the standard of
gold.

Rev. Mr.. Milburn is quoted as protesting
in a recent sermon against the inequalities
shown by the payment of 10000 a year to
a railroad manage on the one hand and
$500 to a trackman on the other. God"
he avs, has not made one man forty or
fifty times stronger, or wiser, or more
competent, or more industrious than an
other. / believe there is some work to do
in softening down these inequalities Mr..
Milburn belongs to a church which teaches
the doctrine of total depravity and the
other doctrine of election. If God has made
man in general averse to divine law and
has granted unconditional grace to particu-
lar individuals, the distinction would seem
to be wider than even the difference in
salary mentioned. Perhaps Mr.. Milburn
thinks a variation of about one to ten in
ability is the divine plan-or, to be more
specific, that some ministers, for nm
are worth $500 a year and some $1,000.
