BLADES of Toledo.

The Spanish towns were celebrated
throughout tho civilized world for the cx
cellcnce OF their swords and among Thorn
all Toledo stood unrivalcd for the tempcr
Of her steel. Tho Toledo blade, famous In
song and story, WAS so keen, so flexible
and withal so strong that its lnencss be-
came proyerbial. When tho Moors over
ran Spain in tho ninth century. they were
already masters Of many of the arts and
especially were they adopts in the working
OF metal. Their swords wero highly val.
ucd for their delicate tcmpor and their
special decoration which we still call
damnsccning was also justly priced. II
was from these conqucrors that tho Span
iards learned much Of their skill In forging
and tompcring steel.
And TINT tho completeness of tho no
biost weapon men ever made should not

THE DECENTRALIZATION OF SILVER

just how much longer the patience of
the people OF this country is to be
abused by designing politicians, who are
demagogues psrading as Statesmen, it
is hard to tell, but it is devoutly to be
hoped that the present year will unfold
to the public the cowardice and treach.
cry Of that class of politicians who
talk learnedly about the disadvantage
OF an ''international agreement" on the
monetary question. The American peo-
pie are too generous in their nature to
hate, but they have most whitening
contempt for two-faced coward. The
advocate Of an international agreement
on the silver question Is either an igno
ramus or knave.
THE TINES believes that one OF the
the greatest crimes ever committed
against nation WAS the demonstration
OF silver by our national lawmakers.
That acs has caused greater financial
loss and more suffering than the war be.
tween the States. It has made more
liars and deceivers in the ranks OF our
PUBIC men shan Gil the legislation
that has been enacted since the foun-
dation OF our Government. Is has en-
tailed more misery than oil our wars
and pestilencas, and yet we have but
entered the shadows OF long night OF
darkness and distress, If not of anarchy,
which will surely be the portion of the
people Of this country unless they shake
off their shsckles and declare their
freedom in the face OF the god oil
garchy.
q rich man may be ss patriotic as a
poor man end should be. but the I'M
denisb!e facts Of our history show that
when a man becomes a millionaire he
ceases to be patriot, and becomes 6
selfish, sordd tyrant. There are ex-
ceptions. but this is the rule The gold
standard will make US nation of
tyrants and seris.

THE CONDITION OF TRADE.

Bradstreet's review of trade says:
General trade throughout the United
States for the FIRST quarter OF 1896 Is
disappointing. When the improvement
in industrial and commercial lines be-
tween March and September, 1895, is re.
called, occurring as 1t did two years
after the panic or 1893, reason would
seem 20 have been behind the conf
dence that the current calendar year
would bring q big revival. But the
most favorable reports at this time are
those which declare the volume of bust
ness only equal to, in few instances in
excess OF the like total one year ago.
The fact that interior merchants are
buying more freely in Missouri, Kansas.
Oklahoma and parts OF Nebraska, where
the snow and rain have prepared the
soil for the crops constitutes almost the
one favorable announcement of the
week. In almost all other parts OF tho
country. east OF the Mississippi, stormy
weather has tended to check the volume
of business and still further restrict
mercantile collections, which have now
been ex :eptionally slow for more than q
month"

WITHIN two years Mr.. Cleveland has
increased the interess-bearing debt of
this country two hundred and sixty
million dollars, and has only forty mil.
lions to show for 1t, and this will coon
go the way the other went. More than
two hundred millions of interest bear
ing public debt and absolutely nothing
to show for 1t. Mr.. Cleveland's "end-
less chain" will prove to be the shsckles
OF the people unless they break It.
Yet there are howlers in the land for
Cleveland and third term.
