then ready to receive, so the employer
gives HIM two dollars in money.
That represents his days work, and
he can exchange it at his convent
ence for such things that he may
require and as he requires them.
1t is of great Importance to the work
man that the two dollars he receives
for his work shall be good dollars,
with the greatest possible purchas-
ing power. At one time during the
war two gold dollars would buy as
much as six greenback dollars.
No kind of dollars will be of full
purchasing power unless it can be
readily exchanged for gold dollar.
And yet at this time a silver dollar
will buy as much as a gold dollar.
The reason of this is that by the
act of 1890 it is the declared policy
of the United States to keep the
silver dollar equal to the gold dollar.
And the government is ready at any
time, or at least 10 one has any
difficulty in getting gold dollar in
exchange for the silver dollar. AS
long as that continues the two will
be equal, or, in other words, the
parity Of the two metals will be main
tanned at the ratio of 16 to 1. The
danger of free coinage is that so
many silver dollars would be coined
that it would be impossible to ex-
change them for gold. The very
instant that happens the silver dol
lar will depreciate; that is, it will
buy less than a gold dollar, or only
as much as the bullion contained in
it is worth in gold. This is what
mas happened IN all 1ree-sllver COIN
age countries. In Panama, 1t is
said, there is a hotel where the rates
are five dollars day. Recently a
traveller from the United States gave
a FIVE dollar gold piece at that hotel
for days board, and, to his sur
prise, he received five dollars in
change. The real rate was 50 so a
day, and the silver pieces, called
dollars, were, in fact, only fifty
cents. Free coinage would have
the effect Of driving gold dollars
out Of the United States. and the
only circulating money would be
dollars worth about fifty cents each.

If you do not believe that the tide
of Republicanism is still sweeping
over the country, and is combining
itself tone particular section, analyze
the results Of the recent State cleo
ton IN Louisiana. The New Or
leans Times Dcmcerol mournfully
goes at the task and extracts signi-
ticant object lesson.
The Times Democrat calls atten-
tion to the fact that there are twenty
five parishes in the State of Louisia-
M which have in them majority
of white voters Of 40, 472, or rather
of white males over twenty-one years
Of age. Instead Of carrying these
parishes by 40, 472 majority, "as the
Democracy ought to have done,a and
as it did in the old fight against the
Republicans" it has actually lost
them by 5,437. Twenty of these
white parishes went Republican and
only five went Democratic. The
Times Democrat also noted that IN
the New Orleans section of the
State, where the voters are three
white to one colored, the figures are
almost reversed on the State
ticket.
The result is significant in show
ing that the white people of Louis
ian are ready to lay aside their old
time preiudices and are wiling to
vote against the party with which
they have been so long affiliated be-
cause its policy has brought upon
them so much diaster. In the
sugar districts race and sectional
preiunices were forgotten COM
pletely. 1t is good sign and the
moral effect of it on the people of
other southern States will be very
great.

Judge Stake for Congressional H on
OTS.

Judge Stake for Congressional n on
OrS.
A special dispatch to the Balti-
more Sun from Hagerstown under
date OF Tuesday, says:
cit seems to be generally conceded
among the Republicans of the sixth
congressional district that Washing
ton county is entitled to the nomi-
ton for Representative in the next
Congress. The candidate has not
been definitely agreed upon, but it
is believed that if Judge Edward
Stake will accept the nomination 1t
will be given him. Judge Stake
has only served five yerrs of his
judicial term of fifteen years, but
some of his most intimate friends
assert that practically unanimous
call from the five counties would be
sufficient to induce him to resign
his seat on the bench inasmuch as
his election in 1891 took him out of
the political arena before his ambi-
ton had been fully satisfied. He
is now holding court in the western
end Of the circuit and is probably
not fully advised Of the intentions
of his friends.
"Fortunately for Judge Stake his
position on the bench has kept him
out of the fractional quarrels which
have broken out in various parts of
the sixth district during the last
four years, and on this account he
is held so be available. 1t is also
alleged that the active interest
which Judge Stake has taken in
agricultural affairs has given him a
standing among the farmers, which
will be advantageous should he
become a candidate for Congress.
