There can be no such thing as "Gov-
ernment by injunction" 1t were as
sensible that we inveighed against
Government by appeal" because of
the universal practice of great corpo-
rations in carrying suits to the court
of record, that he, Jones, was about to

and directing Jones to refrain from the
proceeding, in manner and form as set

worthy of the title, and no good and

Besides its being quite foolish, this

Silver and Farm Products.

The free coinage people persistently
contend that there has been depreci-
alton of farm products because silver is
not coined free 1t is an absurd con-
tention, but nevertheless one that has
much weight with certain class of
farmers who have not given the matter
an unbiased study.
OF course wheat and cotton sold for
less in currency at par with gold than
they did in the deprecated greenback
currency prior to the specie redemption
act, but their gold valuation didn'
change, and the fall in these products
since that time has not been due to any
appreciation in the value of money.
1t is true that the price Of cotton has
deprecated since 1878 about 10 cents,
but it had deprecated more than so
cents in the ten years prior to that time.
Wheat has declined in price since 1878
but there was also heavy decline in
the six years prior to that time. The
beginning of the decline, therefore,
was prior to the decentralization act,
aud the causes leading to the decline
then have operated with much greater
force since. The cotton crop of the
South has been doubled since 1878, and
improved farm machinery and the
development of new lands in the United
States and other countries has multi
piled the production of wheat. The
Argentine Republic produced little
wheat prior to 1878, and last year it
grew more than 250,000,000 bushels.
Vast tracts in Russian Siberia hitherto
barren, have also been turned into
profitable wheat culture
UP to two years ago the price of corn
was higher than 1t was In 1878. A tre.
mendous crop and increased corn acre.
age in the South last year has now
brought the price down.
A very significant fact in this con.
nection is that wheat alone, of all the
principal farm staples, has lost more
in price since 1878 than It did prior to
that time. The price OF cotton ranged
below cents, and was sometimes as
as cents from 1S42 to 1S4S. And at

The New York Vote.

Elk Secretary Whitney should be
good judge of the trend of political
sentiment. Tricksters having falsely
attributed to him the despondent opin.
ion of the prospects OF the honest
money campaign, he has submitted to
an interview, in which he declares
that it is his firm conviction that Nc
Kinley will carry New York by fully
100000 majority, and that he will be
supported by men of oil classes who
put patriotism above partisanship in
an issue Of this kind. The detection in
the Democratic ranks in the Empire
State is marked, and includes not
merely business men, but influential
politicians as we'll. The farmers in
New York State are mostly Republi-
cans, and there is no evidence what
ever that free silver is causing even
tangible proportion of them to desert
their party in the present crisis. On
the contrary, there is abundant evil
dence that they will staunchly support
the sound money cause and that thou.
sands of Democrats will heartily CO.
operate with them In that direction

Our silver friends continue to talk of
gold and silver as the "money of the
Constitution" throwing out the infer
ence that the fundamental law pre-
scribes coinage of those metals. As a
matter of fact the Constitution dele
gates to Congress simply the power ito
coin money, regulate the value thereof.
and of foreign coin, and fix the stand
ard of weights and measures. There
is no other clause in the Constitution
referring to coinage than the ON 3
quoted, and the first act of Congress
under that authority monetized the
Spanish milled dollar, and directed
that it should be legal tender at ts
face value. If the silver people mean
anything by "the money of the Const-
tuition, it must be that the United
States should turn to the use of foreign
milled coins.
There is no money of the Constitu
tion." From the first the coinage of
the country has been a matter of con-
gressional enactment. as it is today.
The same power that ordered the coin
age of gold and silver restricted the
coinage of silver in 1858, and stopped
its purchase in 1893, and the money of
the present, as well as that of the past,
is the money of the Constitution. >
Neither gold, silver nickel nor copper
is required anywhere in the Constitu
ton, the trainers of that instrument,
with wise forethought, having provid-
ed against emergencies by giving Con-
gress the power to regulate the coinage
in order that it might meet such dan
ger as depreciation of the standard, by
discontinuing the coinage of any par
ticular metal. Let there be an end to
this foolish and vicious cry about "the
money of the Constitution. Pitts.

Sound Money.

The cause of sound money is the
cause of the people OF the South and
West as well as the East. The section.
alist aud socialist can not change that
fact. They may for time succeed in
deceiving the people into the belief
that nation can prosper through re.
pudiation and confiscation, but the
Integrity and common sense of Ameri-
cans may be trustd to assert them
selves against this pernicious heresy.
This nation has never yet compromised
its financial honor, or long listened to
those who advocate cheap and dis.
honest money. In the days of its sorest
trial all its citizens, rich and poor alike,
stood firmly for sound finance and for
full discharge OF the Government's
indebtness. Such people may we'll
be trusted to give another illustration
of the sensitive honor of Democracy.

Howard Kennedy, prominent citi-
zen of Omaha, has just completed a
trip to the coast States, and reports
that the people of the interior have a
very exaggerated idea of the extent OF
the silver movement in the West. He
says the business men are very largely,
and he thinks in majority of cases,
opposed to it. This ia particularly true
in Utah, Idaho and Washington. And,
then, he adds:
ut is peculiar fact while the advo
Gates of free silver insist that the adop-
ton of their views will maintain the
metals at a parity, not single contract
is made in these States that does not
include the gold payment clause.
Even merchants will not sell groceries
on time unl less they arc given this safe
guard, and ex Gov. Pennoyer, Of Ore.
gon, who has large lumber business
and owns good deal OF rentable prop
erty, follows the same policy. Even
his tenants are compelled to agree to
pay their rent in gold.
This shows that the silver people
themselves have no confidence in their
own cause. They neither have conf.
dence in their success at the polls, nor
have they confidence in their theory
that silver will be at par with gold,
otherwise they would not be insisting
upon gold payments in their contracts.

Reduced Cost of Food Products.

nvestigations of changes in the price
of food products and other necessaries
of life; whether made by government
officials or private students of econo.
mic and social questions, have been SO
largely confined to the records of the
wholesale markets that it may be both
interesting and valuable to show what
the average cheapening of variety Of
food staples has been in the last five
years in typical interior manufactur.
ing city, and as such things affect con-
sum ers instead of producers or boards
of trade and chambers OF commerce.
1t is notorious that great differences in
the Wholesale price of important pro-
ducts sometimes have very little effect
upon the poorer classes of consumers.
Bread is often sold by the loaf, through.
out large cities, at about the same
price when wheat is sixty cents a
bushel in Chicago that it brings when
the wheat market is twenty cents or
thirty cents higher, and the prices
charged for beef in retail shops may
have only remote connection with the
value of cattle on the hoof in Kansas
City, over New York.
The manager of the retail department
OF prominent grocery store at large
Western city has recorded changes of
prices for number of years. This
concern, it is reported by correspond.
ent, does business of nearly 81, 1,OOO,.
600 year retail, 'its trade being out
OF all proportion to the size of the city,

ted on cash basis, and its methods of

TALLY unchanged For that reason its

this time the free coinage of silver was

this time the free coinage of silver was
permitted at the mints.
The free coinage orators present some
sort of fanciful argument to the effect
that the cause Of decline in the price
of wheat is under consumption instead
of over production. That is absurd,
because there can be no under con-
sumption of bread, and there is palpa-
BILE evidence of great increase in pro-
duction. Besides this, the years since
1873 have mostly been years of prosper.
ity when there was no stint on the part
of consumers.
If there should be free coinage in
this country, with the consequent sill i.
yer standard, the ultimate price of
farm products would still be measured
by gold. Cotton produced in silver
using Mexico brings the same price in
Liverpool that American cotton does.
II the Mexican producer gets more
money at home than does the American
producer, it is only nominally more,
and has no greater purchasing power
than that the American farmer receives.
Gold is the ultimate standard of the
whole worlds commerce, and will re
main such no matter what kind of
money we have in America. ca.-Nashville

TFXAS P0PULISTS.
Col. Milton Park Says They May Vote for
Mckinley.

Mckinley.
The Texas middle Of the road dele
gates who were obstreperous to the last
in the Populist convention are still on
the warpath. This afternoon Col. Mil.
ton Park, who. next to Stump Ashby,
made the most noise 10 the four days'
convention, called on Chairman Butler
at the Lindell Hotel. He had come
for an answer to the address which the
boiling middle of the road men sent to
the new national committee on Satur.
day night.
Col. Park sent his card up to Senator
Buffers room, but becoming impatient
at the delay went upstairs after it.
Before disappearing up the stairway
he said:
Texas is still in the ring, and we are
not disfgured, either"
What do we intend to do If we
don't get what we want? Why we
will 20 back to Texas and raise Old
Ned. We will give the Republicans
the electoral ticket, aud we will take
the State ticket for our share of the
fruit.
''Yes, sir, we intend to beat that
prize fighting Governor and give the
electoral vote Of Texas to Mckinley.
We demand Populist ticket, top aud
bottom. We have told these Bryan
people that we would be willing to
have taken second place if Bryan
would stand on our platform. If they
won't do that, and weknow they won't
we shall turn the electoral vote of
Texas over to the Republicans"
Thus saying Col. PARK felt to ascer.
tain if his pistol pocket was on straight,
and went upstairs to interview Senator
Butler.
Apparently the Chairman did not
give Col. Park much satisfaction, for
he came downstairs with a dark scowl
on his face.-St. Louis Special to the

Where the Germans Stand.

Out Of 502 German newspapers to
which circulars were sent by the Ger
man American Sound Money League
short time ago, 85i are in favor OF a
gold standard, and only 81 In favor
of the free coinage Of silver. Over 100
of the 5O2 German papers have thus
far failed to make any reply to the
committees circular.
The party that overlooks the Ger.
man vote need not worry itself about
official responsibility. The Germans
constitute but small percentage of
our politicians, but are an important
class on election day.

1.-The difference of 81 72is a decrease
of 31.6 per cent in the cost of the arti
cles enumerated. Reckoned on the
present cost, it is evident that given
sum will go almost one half further in
providing city family with groceries
than it would five years ago. Where
wages have not fallen and employ
ment is as plentiful as it was five years
ago, there has evidently been marked
social improvement through the les.
sened cost of food, and, therefore, in II
sense, higher plane of living. On the
other hand, tile cheapening of food
products has told against farmers, es.
pecially those who had old debts to
