On January l there will be due at the

The shortage amounts to about 81 900 and

Senator John P. Jones was among the
first of the free coinage agitators, and it
is largely due to his earnest and untiring
labors in behalf of silver that the country
has at last taken hold of this all important
question. He has been ably seconded by
Senator Stewart and Congressman New
lands. Through his Wide knowledge of
the question he has been an invaluable aid
to the man campaign orators, giving
them facts and statistics which are open

THE NATIONAL ELECTION.

Last nights dispatches all point to

patches are from Republican sources
and mostly the r-sults in large cities.

districts may changh the result but at
the present writing this seems hardly
probable. Il seems odd that a majority
Of the people Of the United States most
Of when are wailowing in enforced
poverty. brought about by a contrac-
tiou Of the currency. should deliber-
ateiy march to the polls and Vote for
q continuance Of those undesirable
conditions. II Mckinley has indeed

coinage is set back for a quarter of a
century. The grip OF the Snylocks is
onc mor tightening on the throat
wage crusher Is on the neck Of organ
lied labor and the farmer goes back
to toll on his mortgaged farm.
1t is evident that the American peo-
pie require another four years dose Of
English rule in this country hefore
they discover what is the cause Of our
present depressed industrial condi-
ton. The only hope of a relief from
the present money stringency is that
the vast fund Of corruption money
spent by the Hanna syndicate will
temporarily enliven the dullness OF
the money market
