THE SALOON IN POLITICS.

The SALOON In POLlllCS.
In New York State the liquor
question seems to be the paramount
issue. The saloon in politics is a
powerful factor and generally con-
trolls elections in the larger cities.
Two methods have been suggested
for taking the saloon out of politics,
but neither of them has been found
practicable. The first is to remove
all restrictions from the liquor traffic
and give it the same freedom that
is accorded to trade in lumber, hard.
ware, groceries, and othercommodites
in general use. This plan has been
advocated by at least one distin.
guished clergyman, who holds that
more injury is done to society by the
saloon as political factor than is
offset by all the restrictions imposed
on. and all the income secured from
the saloons. The other plan for get.
ting the saloon out of politics is pro.
hibition, but it has operated as an
aggravation of the i'll it is recon-.
mended to cure. When and where
has it happened that prohibitory
law, enforced by prohibition party,
OF by any other organization, has put
the saloon where it could not fight
back? When and where has such a
law removed the saloon from eXis.

FALSE LOGIC.

Our gold standard friends tell us
that as soon as silver is restored gold
will leave the country. For the sake
of argument let US admit this to be
true. Let us concede that every gold
dollar has left the United States and
that silver is the only money obtain
able. Would there not, at once,
spring up an unlimited demand for
silver, and would not silver at once
rise to its old-time value?
What use have we for gold? We
do not owe single dollar payable in
gold. All our obligations@all our
bonds--including the recent bond is
sue of 500, 100000, are payable in
coin. Coin means either gold or sill
yer, and it is only because of the in
fluence of the money sharks upon our
officials at Washington that gold is
being paid out on coin obligations.
Let the gold leave this country if
it will. We can neither eat nor di-
gest it. The sooner we are rid of it
and its influence, the sooner will we
become self-supporting and indepen-
dent.
But there is no such good luck as
the gold leaving this country-cxeept
under present conditions. How many
of our readers ever get sight of gold
piece under our present system
Should silver be restored the value
of gold would decline and the
price of other property would ad.
vance. Every man who had gold
dollar would realize this fact and
would invest it in that which was ap.
preciating in valae.
For plain home talk let us suppose
a case. Suppose Bill Jones has 81 ,0OC
in gold. He refuses to let it out be-
cause the closer he holds it the more
valuable it gets. AS q result there
is no money in circulation. Uncle
Sam, as the benefactor of all people
says we will no longer recognize golt
as the only money, but will restore
that which was stolen from US, ant
hereafter, as in days gone by, Al:
grains of standard silver shall be ont
dollar, good for all debts, public ant
private, and 23.2 grains of pure golt
shall be equal to it.
| Under such circumstances, wha
would be the result? We owe nj
debts payable in gold. Uncle San
has declared that 412 grains of silve
constitutes dollar, as of old
Would not every man who owed
dollar reach out for the silver
Would not this create an unlimite'
demand? Then. how could 4l2 grain
of silver be worth only 80 cents whel
there is an unlimited demand for i
at 100 cents?
To tell the whole story in q nut
shell, gold would depreciate in value
while silver and all other propcrt
would rise. The man with gold woul
realize this fact and would invest hi
depreciating gold in apprcciatin
property. Is this not common sense
But there is one thing sure. H
could not exchange his gold for silve
on any margin, because the silve
would be just as good as the gold.
