alent of 25.S grains of standard gold as to
declare that 41251 grains of standard silver
are the equivalent of 25.S grains of STAN
dard gold, but it can do neither. More
over, there is not a civilized country in
the world that makes coin as coin re-
demption money. 1t is the quantity and
quality OF the metal in the coin that
gives it debt-paying and purchasing
power. But this Senator CockrelI prac-
tically admits when he speaks of the
coinage of gold and silver at their rela-
tive value, Tor it is commerce and COM
merce alone that fixes their relative value,
and whatever their relative value is is also
their coin value and hence their purchas-
ing power.
1t is to be hoped that Senator Cockrell' s
speech will have wide circulation, for no
better argument against practical Bryan
ism could be submitted to the people.
Organism is hoist by its own petard.

Los Angeles County is benefited in the sum

ment OF San Francisco City and County. I'm
der the present ad justment that City and
County must pay taxes upon a valuation of
$A25, 700, being an increase OF 10000

was permitted TO remain at the figures made

OF our institutions to compare maiorities
Tor the Democracy in Arkansas with ma
loritles for Republicans in Maine. In
Arkansas the election returns express the
VIII OF the bosses, and in Maine they ex-
press the will of all the people.
Satisfying as the large gains in Maine are
the danger that they may cause the rank
and file in other States to be too confident
and thus make them apathetic is great
enough TO be looked after. Bryan says II
his party is not successful this time it will
come again and again, until Altgeldlsm
and Organism are made the policy of the
Government, but if the people do their
whole duty during this campaign and on
election day Organism will never again be
heard OF. Therefore the splendid gain in
Maine ought to stimulate every one who
is DESTROYS that prosperity and peace shall
abound everywhere, and that the Govern
ment shall be maintained on the lines laid
down by Washington and Jefferson and
Lincoln to make every possible effort to
leave Bryan without representation in the
Electoral College. Let him not carry a

DOWN IN MAINE.

A Republican majority was expected in
Maine, but the Democracy hoped that
Sewa1 would have enough influence as
the Vice-Presidential candidate to lower
the record as against the race of two years
ago. 1t seems, however, that State prida
was shelved, and the vote cast on prin-
ciple, which gives Republican majority
that correctly measures Bryan and Sewall's
political standing in that State. No one
believed Sewall when he said, immediately
after being nominated, that his State would
swing over to the support of the Chicago
ticket, but the belief prevailed in Bryan
circles that there would be enough of a
Democratic gain in the September contest
to exert moral influence all over the
country which would strengthen the party
very materially in November Tho people
OF Maine had not been consulted, IL would
appear, when these representations wore
made; moreover the returns indicate
numerous accessions to the Republican
ranks from the Democratic party.
The large increase in the Republican
majority as compared with 1894 reflects
public sentiment ali over the country.
There never was time when tho people
had greater occasion TO take lively inter.
est in their public concerns, and the

For hoard you're sure 10 gather?
And cunning spinner, why so soon

Though summer days are going.

The tendency of the times the 1oorld over is
for shorter hours for labor. Shorter hours in
the interest of heath; shorter hours in the IN
terest of humanity; shorter hours IN the in
terest of the home and family. And the
United States can do no better service to labor
and to ats oa0n citizens than to set the example
to the States, to corporations and to irtdivid-
ttals employing men By declaring that, so far
as the Government is concerned, eight hours
shall constitute days iOork and be all that
is required of its idboring force. --lfcKinIey
