According to Bradstrect's weekly re-
view there were several encouraging fea-
lures in the condition of trade last week.
The volume of trade was greater, especially
in the South and West. The supply of
money was larger, though rates of dis
mers are holding cotton for an advance i'll
price, and wheat is up again on continued
active export movement, all of which goes
to show that while the people are very
much interested in the Presidential can.
yass they do not believe the existence of
the Government depends upon the sue
cess of Mckinley.

FREE SILVER NORTH AND EAST.

The result of the recent Democratic
primaries in Massachusetts Shows that
the great majority of the party in that
State are for free silver and that the gold
standard advocates do not-even constitute
a respectable minority in point of num-
bers. If the latter, then, are willing to
admit the right of the majority to rule,
which is one of the cardinal principles of
q republican form of government, as we'll
as of simon-pure Democracy, they ought
to submit gracefully to the decision and
join with their fellow Democrats in help
ing to swell the vote for Bryan and
Sewall
The action of the Democrats in Massa-
chusetts and other States of the North
to express their views on the situation
since the meeting of the Chicago conven-
ton, in declaring by heavy majorties for
Bryan and Sewall, does not indicate
sufficient divergence of opinions to war.
rant any such course as that pursued at
the Cleveland side show recently--held
in Indianapolis in nominating an opposi-
ton ticket, and that this 'diversion''
will do any harm to the Chicago ticket is
not believed. The promoters of this
movement, however, had to do something
to ease the soreness felt by the Grand
Mogul at Washington. and so they held
convention and adopted a platform and
nominated a ticket, thus making the
whole affair one of the biggest farces of
the campaign.
Mr.. Cleveland and his friends may call
the men who nominated Bryan and Sewall
Populists or even anarchists, but that
does not make them such, nor can. they by
noise and abuse hide the fact that these
same men represent the great majority of
the brains and energy of what was called
the national Democracy when the first
named gentleman was nominated and
elected President for two terms. :, They
are not Democrats now because they have
had enough of Mr.. Cleveland and theaapol-
icy he has so persistently dictated,in spite
of all their pleadings and protests

SILVER AND GOLD UNDER FREE
COINAGE

The American people now owe n large
sum to European creditors, and falling
prices have left larger and larger mar
gin between our net national income and
our annual interest charge. There is
only one way to stop the increasing flow
of gold from our shores and that is to
stop falling prices. The restoration of
bimetallism will stop the falling prices
by reducing the worlds demand for gold.
Perhaps the most persistent misrepre sen-
tation that we have to meet is the charge
that we are advocating the payment of
debts in so cent dollars. At the present
time and under present laws silver dol
lar, when melted loses nearly half it's
value, but that will not be true when we
again establish n mint price for silver
and leave no surplus silver upon the mar
ket to drag down the price of bullion.
Under bimetallism silver bullion will be
worth rs much as silver coin, just us gold
bullion is now worth as much as gold
coin, and we believe that silver dollar
will be worth as much as gold dollar.
The charge of reputation comes with
poor grace from those who are seeking to
add to the weight of existing debts by
legislation which makes money dearcr,
and who conceal their designs against the
general welfare under the euphonious
pretense that they are upholding public
credit and national honor In answer to
the charge that gold received will 20
abroad, it must be remembered that no
gold can leave this country until the
owner of the gold receives something in
return for it which he would rather have.
Exchanges are matters of agreement, and
If silver comes tc this country under free
coinage it will be at the invitation of
some one in this country who will give
something in exchange for it,

The fall of Senator Hill as a political
power in New York has been very rapid
and complete. Only Il few months ago
his will was law with the Democrats of
the Empire State; but he has hesitated
and vacillated so much recently in taking
sides for or against the nominees of the
Chicago convention that now no one cares
what course he may take. He will soon
be Il back number in political figuring,
if he is not already one, and he has no

something but now as political bait it
will not capture even Il sucker.

Genuine African Ostriches to be Seer

WIN Tile Great Synulcate circus.
Giant African ostriches are great
curiosity, and but few Of them have ever
been seen in--this country, and they lived
but short while, owing to the rigor of
the climate. The big birds usually called
ostriches, now so extensively bred on the
so-called ostrich farms of California, are
really not ostriches. They belong to the
same species, but are mongrel branch of
the true family. It's native place is Aus
tralia and not Africa, and the bird is
really an emu and is only about half the
size of an ostrich and has not the bril-
liant and luxurious plumage of the lat
ter bird
The only flock of African ostriches in
America is owned by the great Syndicate
circus, whose wellknown circus exhibits

of them were imported by these mana

1T is A BUGABOO.

Many fear that the opening of: our
mints will be followed by the enormous
increase in the annual production .of sill
yer. This is conjecture. Silver has been
used as money for thousands of years,
and during all that time the world has
never suffered from over production.
Some of our opponents attribute the fall
of the value of silver, when measured by
gold, to the fact that during the last
quarter of century the worlds supply
of silver has increased more rapidly than
the worlds supply of gold. This argu.
ment is entirely answered by the fact
that during the last five years the annual
production of gold has increased more
rapidly than the annual production of
silver Since the gold price sof silver has
fallen more during the last five years
than it ever fell in any previous five years
in the history..of the world, it is evident
that the fallsis not due to increased pro.
duction. Prices can be lowered'as effect.
ually by decreasing the demand for an
article as by increasing the supply of it,
and it seems certain that fall in the gold
price of silver is due to Neutrality-suspicious.
and not to natural laws. Our opponents
cannot ignore the fact that gold is now
going abroad in spite of all legislation in
tended to prevent it, and no silver is be-
ing coined to take its place.
