The Tribune says, I'm our judgment,
no tariff in the world can do this coun-
try any good, or begin to restore pros
perity, that is, prosperity to the
masses of the people, until silver shall
be rehabilitated. What folly, then,
for the friends of free silver to vote
for the candidates Of a party that not
only places tariff before silver but
declares against the free and independ-
ent coinage of silver.

WAR OF GLASS AGAINST CLASS.

Worse to my mind than all this is the
spirit Of socialism that permeates the
whole movement which has issued from
the convention at Chicago 1t is the Gin
ternational'of Europe, now taking body in
America. OF this one can not but be con-
VlnCed, when the movement is closely OBJ
| served, the shibbOleths of it's adherents
listened to, the discourses of it's orators
carefully examined. The war of class
against class is upon us, the war of the
proletariat against the property holder
No other meaning than this can be given
to the appeals to the common people"
ito the laborer, ''to the poor and down
trodden," and to the denuncintion against
''plutocrats' and Corporations" and
money -grabbers" and bankers" Many
adherents Of the movement do not per-
celve its full meaning; but let them be-
ware; they are lighting torches which,
borne in hands of reckless men, may light
up in this country the lurid fires of a COM
mune.
America, heretofore, has been free from
socialistic hatred and warfare; it has been
country of opportunities for all men,
and it has given to the laborer livelihood
higher and better than is afforded him in
any other country of the world. Is this
all to be changed? Is social chaos, gloat-
ing over ruins, to be the method of social
elevation of the masses? There may be
room in some things for peaceful ameli-
grafton through we'll informed public
opinion and orderly legislation; but class
hatred and angry passion never led to
aught but general misery and suffering.
The people of America must today look
warily around, guard against catchwords
and misleading war cries, avoid giving
any countenance to socialistic or an
archistic tendencies and know that the
first condition of prosperity to any and all
classes of the people is a peaceful COM
monwealth and assured social order.
