THE PROPOSED MONETARY CON-
GRESS.


The idea OF another international
monetary congress appears to be meet
ing with some degree of favor in
quarters that heretofore have been
very hostile to silver. 1t is not to be
expected that the out-and-out gold
standard press will favor it though
they may modify their views on the
subject
An exchange discussing the question
says:
Those who doubt that foreign coun-
tries will be in any more tolerant mood
toward silver next year than they were
at the time of the Brussels conference
see nothing practical in the proposed
attempt. But it seems to us that the
late election in America has given the
white metal a persuasive power which
never before belonged to it. That con-
test demonstrated the fact that $780,,
600 voters stood ready to adopt indie
pendent free coinage, status which
has -unnerved every money market
abroad and made the financiers of Lon
don. Paris and Berlin fear that the
Athenian tendency of the American
electorate to try every new thing would
yet serve to so increase the voting
strength of silver as to carry indepen-
dent measures through. Is it not sup
possible that Europe had rather tie
America up to a silver agreement than
to leave her to go her own way, and
perhaps play havoc with European Sc
curities?
If Europe will consent to another
monetary conference and something be-
sides words and windy resolutions come
of it. every free silver advocate in the
country will welcome it and do all in
his power to further the calling of such
a congress.
If this congress is called and some
thing really comes of it. the sole credit
for it will be due to the 100000 voters
who stood ready TO adopt independent
free coinage and not. to the 6.600.O00
voters who voted against independent
free coinage. To the free silver advo-
Gates who stood ready, and still stand
ready, to adopt Independent free coin
age will be due the credit of having
forced the recognition of silver as
money metal by those who voted
against them and by any nation that
may now consent to an international
age of silver or consent to an enlarged
use of it. 1t was these 100000 voters
who have given white metal the per-
suasive power that never belonged to
it before, and no one else.
BY all means let there be another
international monetary congress, and
let all do what they can TO bring it
about and make it successful. We
have no great faith in one, but we
should be glad to see one, because if
is done for silver it will have
accomplished some good; while if it is
not it will teach the people of this
country that if anything is to he done
for silver they must take the initiative
1t would aid the silver cause in any
event

THE NEED OF REVENUE.

Few II any countries have greater
resources CT all kinds than the United
States, yet today the United States. are
in need OF more revenue and the con-
gress seems impotent to provide it.
The needed revenue could be raised
from two or three sources, but it is
not. And why? Simply because the
need of revenue, for the government is
sought to be taken advantage of for
party purposes. 1t is evident that the
incoming administration will immedi-
ately proceed 10 tinker with the tariff,
disavowing all the time that it is tink-
ering and declaring that the state of
the national treasury and the condi-
tons of business demand it.
Just now the Democrats in the SEN
ate are urged in the name of patriotism
the Dingley or some other bill of a
similar nature to provide revenue, as
though there were no other way to
raise revenue save by raising the tariff.
1t never seems to dawn upon the minds
of the protectionists that surrender
of some of their ideas would be equally
patriotic as surrender of all the
ideas of their opponents would be.
Revenue could readily be provided by
mutual concessions; that is the truly
patriotic course to pursue when neither
party is strong enough to carry out
its own favorite methods.
But there is a very serious trouble
back of all the lack of revenue and
the deficits, a trouble for which both
the Republican and the Democratic
parties are responsible. This trouble
is the constantly increasing expend-
lures of the government. No matter
how the times are, the expenditures go
on just the same. Appropriations are
made on optimistic rather than bust
ness principles with pessimistic results.
If expenditures are cut down ii will
increase the revenue to that extent.
What the country needs is more
revenue, less expenditures and a con-
tinual- reduction of the national debt
until it is entirely wiped out. The peo-
pie will welcome almost any legisla
ton that will produce these results.

THE EXECUTION OF couGHLrN.

Young Coughlin, who murdered Con-
stable Stage and Deputy Dawes in
July, 1895. was executed yesterday in
Rich county. The state and society
are well rid of him, as he was
thoroughly bad man. Often a man in
the heat of passion will do a violent
deed. such as commit murder. but
Coughlin was not of this kind. His
whole career up to the time of the
commission of the crime for which he
was executed shows him TO have been
bad at heart. He has paid the penalty
of his crime and the grave should be
allowed to cover his past.
There is one thing that this execu-
ton draws attention to anew and
which should be remedied by the next
legislature, if possible. That is the
long delay between conviction and the
execution OF the sentence Trial of
criminals should be had as soon as
