The free coinage of silver in this
country would reduce the value OF
the money the farmer would receive
for his products and the wage-earncr
for his labor bv about onc-half, but
they are especial objects of interest
to the free silver caterers, who ask
them to vote to bring about just this
absurd condition of affairs. How 1t
is to benefit them is a question tor
which there is no very satisfactory
answer. They could not keep even
with the world unless their wages
or the prices of their goods were
doubled, and there would be an en-
citing amount of uncertainty as to
whether this would follow. There
would be more money, it is true -
"monev would circulate" -but where
would be the advantage in simply
doubling the number of dollars ham
died in commercial transactions?
The currency question is an involved
one, but from the warm discussion
during this campaign conservative
minds have come to realize the alb.
surdity of the proposition offered by
the supporters of the Chicago plat
foro, d;Shooest too ~ ;tc "d,.oc"~r
of reputation of just debts, and an
tagonizing every principle upon
which national honor and credit is
based.

There is very little lessening OF
uncertainty us to the outcome of the
election as the campaign closes.
The claims OF both parties are equal
" positive and conclusive to readers
of conflicting statements at a distance
from the real battle-ground OF the
campaign, where the contest will be
wagcd unrcmittently up to the last
moment. Conservative men and the
more sangu'ne paitisans are equally
puzzled there never was campaign
IN which greater surprises may be
expected. According to one tabu-
lation there are twelve states, with
Io4 votes, sure for Mckinley, and
the same number of states, with SO
votes, which will go for Bryan. OF
the somewhat doubtful states there
are seven with 90 votes probably for
Mckinley, and II with la3 votes fol
Bryan. These figures give a total OF
o24 votes for Mckinley and 2o3 to
Bryan, Il majority for the Republi-
can candidate which is confidently
counted on by his managers. But
there is still large element OF
doubt; the margin is not large one
and an unlooked-for incident may
turn the tide either way.

Major Mckinley promulgates the
idea that free trade is the parent OF
trusts. The major has dealt out
some great stuff during this cam
paign, but nothing more absurd than
this utterance has come from Can
ton. However, the people are glad
to hear him say something on the
trust question.

y first part of the art consists Of the

effective for civilization than the works
Of all the classic writer's of Greece and
Rome. They had been a great apostolate
IN the evangelization Of the world. He,
st. Paul, preached to a world that wor-
shipped all Gods creatures. but not God.
Standing on n of the seven hills of old
Rome. amid its three millions of inhabi-
.tants. the apostle saw idols everywhere,
and twelve poor men. guided by Gods
spirit, conquered the passions and the
fashions of the heather world. The fool

and the diversities of gifts must be COM

1.-THE Christian should be the foremost
in love of country and patriotic duty. and
as St. Paul asked his fun rights as a
Roman citizen, SO should we be ready to
give full civic justice to all men and take
nothing less for ourselves. Remembering
that the gospel which st. Paul preached
was the Church which has subsisted near
ly 1000 years. and is still in the vigor of
its youth, we should conform ourselves
to its spirit and say with him that neither
life nor death, nor things present nor
things to come should separate US from

Congressman Pitney did not have blooming
luck with his District Appropriated bin. IA
was in charge. as a chairman of a sub-coln.
mittee, of some of the allowances made In
the bill for the District of Columbia. He
managed his part admirably, and maintained
himself well in the debates in which he be-
came involved; but he had the misfortune to
have the appropriations defeated. 1t was the
first time in many years that an expenditure
advised by the Ways and Means Committee
has been defeated, but the economy sentiment
of the House was too much for him.
Congressman Loudenslager is SO busy with
mis- efforts to secure an appropriation for
the Camden city postofice, that he cannot
md time even to think of other matters.
