The free coinage of silver and the sub
stitution of new unit and measure Of
value for the existing one in the busi-
ness transactions of the country nre
not an ordinary experiment whicl, can
be safely tried to-day and abandoned
tomorrow if found injurious, because
the immediate consequences of such
step would be SO far-reaching and so
enduring that they would continue TO
be felt for years after the policy had
been reversed. 1t is incumbent, there
fore. upon those who insist up
OIL the adoption of this rev.
olutionary policy to show plainly
and conclusively in advance not only
that it would result in no injury, but
that it would be positively beneficial
for If not positively beneficial the
change would at least be wholly use
less, This cannot be done by appeals
to the excited passions and prejud:ces
of the people, by attempts to array one
class of our citizens or one section of
our country against another or by loose
and eXtravagant statements unsup-
ported by facts and reasons. The ques-
tions involved are too serious. the inter-
ests to be affected are too large, and the
common sense Of the people is too
strong to justify or even excuse this
course of treatment. Hon. John G.

Tho Problem for Torkingmen.

The silverites promise that the work.
ingman will get higher wages, but they
also tell us that all commodities of life
will rise in price. Do they guarantee us
that wages will rise in the same propor-
ton? The chances are they will not, be-
cause employers never, or very seldom,
raise the wages of their employees vol
unfairly. But, admitted that wages will
rise in proportion to other articles,
what will the worlsingman gain by it?
One thing is certain, that if, under
silver standard, the workingman will
have his wages raised in the same
measure in which prices of other arti-
cles and commodities of life will be
raised, he will have it after very hard
and desperate struggle. Is it worth
while to undertake a struggle for years
in order to gain the same which he has
now and run risk of getting less?-

VAR AGAINST A TRUST.
Demurrer in the Suit Against the American
Tobacco Company Argued.

New York. Nov. 6.-The demurrer in the
suit of the People against James Il. Duke
and nine other directors of the American
Tobacco Co.-the Cigarette Trust-was
argued before Judge Fitzgerald in GEN
eral session, today. Duke and his asso-
ciates were indicted by the grand Jury
last May. and their attorney put in a de-
Lindsay will conduct the case for the
people
The indictment was found under section
l6S of the penal code bearing on con-
spiracy in restraint of trade and also I'M
der the so-called anti-coal trust laws of
1893, chapter ll6. as amended by chapter
2oi of the Laws of 1896. This law pro-
vides:
Every corporation or officer thereof
that shall make any contract. arrange
ment or agreement. or shall enter into
any combination or conspiracy for the
purpose of restraint or the prevention of
competition in the supply or price of any
article or commodity in common use in
this state or with intent TO restrict or
restrain trade or commerce in this state.
or that shall attempt or actually conduct
any such contract. arrangement or agree
ment or combination. wherever the same
may be made or shall in any manner in
this state engage or aid in carrying out
or executing the agreements contained in
any such contract or arrangement. Wher-
ever the same may be made. shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.
The indictment alleging combination or
conspiracy in restraint of trade made
against Duke and his associates is based
on the circulars issued by the American
Tobacco Co. to jobberS in the tobacco

told that the officials could not handle

The Result Strengthens Our Country Both a!
Home and Abroad

New York. Nov. s.-Thc Rev. Or.
Charles A. Parkhurst. in speaking of tbs
result of the election said:
Il devoutly rejoice in this triumphant
uprising of the people in behalf Of honesty
and law. 1t makes our country mean
more both at home and abroad. and helps
to guarantee to us an honorable and en-
during future.
One effect of a crisis as sharp that
through which our country has just
passed is to reveal in men that hidden
spot where they keep their thoughts and
purposes far broader than those which
ordinarily come 10 the surface. 1t is quite
IN keeping with this. the way in which
men who are ordinarily narrow and par
tisan have this year broken from their
usual limitations and have sunken party
considerations and have been swayed
only by the one supreme issue.
They have found that there is some
thing bigger than either the Republican
or the Democratic party. and it is their
ability to rise to a level higher than that
occupied by either political party that
was brought into use in bringing about
our splendid victory.
My hope and trust is that the wide
magnanimity just exhibited in the ma
tional arena may reproduce itself in the
