not to go into debt to do it. Look at

GEORGIA AND TEXAS.

Tine Democrats in Georgia end Florida
had to fight against great odds. but they
won in both States, ana that too. by
handsome majorities. They had TO fight
not only against large sums of money
sent from the North, but the combined
forces of the Republican, Populist and
Prohibition parties. and the single stan
dard votes as well. but, as before said,
they won In spite of all that opposition,
and il Is well. TO some extent the
same opposition obtains i'm Vir-
ginia, but like Georgia and Texas, the
Old Dominion Will be true to her colors.
When the smoke OF battle rolls away
Virginia Will be found standing safe in
the Democratic column. where she be-
longs, and where She intends TO remain.
The South stands solid In this contest;
let the West do likewise. and the cleo

According to Mr.. Bryan's statements
made during the campaign, 1t is shown
that in the past two years there has
been u positive decrease of $780, O00, 900
In our currency, and If the proper
ratio should be included as estimated
by Senator Sherman. the contraction
would be over $2G0. 900, or about one
fourth of the volume Of currency the
people have been supposed 10 have. The
views of Professor Parsons and those of
MI Bryan appear 10 coincide on this
important feature of the money cues
ton, and If their conclusions are cor
rect, there can be no doubt of the fact
that our greatest trouble arises from n
contraction or our currency. With an
increase of the volume of the currency of

CAUSE OF FALLING PRICES.

In the October Arena" Prof. Frank
Parsons has an interesting article rclst-
ing to silver and falling prices. Pro-
fessor Parsons shows that a falling
market means prostration, panic, pa
ralysis; shat the downward tendency OF
prices is the path to industrial perdi-
ton. and the upward slope Of rising val
ues is the plain road to energy and life
the way out of darkest America into the
light OF prosperity. This giant evil, fall
ing prices, says he, is caused by con:rac-
ton of the currency. or by increase of
business or changing conditions of pro
duction unbalanced by due expan-
sion Of the currency
Free silver, says Professor Parsons,
will reverse the lever inauguratc a
rising market, afford a just relief
from ovcrweighted debt and stimulate
commerce. manufactures, and agricul-
ture to new activity. The first silver
dollar coined will buy as much as a dol
lar does now. Silver will rise TO 81. % a n
ounce; no one will sell it for less than
that sum minus the expense of sending
1t to the mint, because he can have il
coined into that a: the mint This in
crease In value 10 be gained by min,ing
silver Will bring large amounts of the
white metal into circulation and VIII
raise prices, relieving the debtor elias
and developing business with an energy
unknown in this country since Ghe flush
times Oh the war period. This, Professo.
Parsons holds, is the heart of the silver
philosophy. II will introduce an era of
expanding currency and rising prices in
place of the falling market that has 50
long depressed business and Industry

LORD nosEnEnnY's RESIGNATION

1t appears that the Armenian ques-
England, and the resignation of Lord
Rosebery as the leader of the Liberal
party at this time is full of significance.
1t indicates that he disagrees with the
Liberals, who are in favor of forcing a
settlement OF the Armenian troubles in
the land of the Turk, even though war
with Russia Is the result His I4ordship
does not partnke of such II feeling,
hence he has handed In his rcsigna-
tion. Just who will succeed him in the
leadership of the party does not at this
time appear, but is goes without saying
that there has hardly been time in the
history of the party when the Liberals
were in greater need of Il strong man to
guide them than at the present time.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt is looked
upon as Rosebery's natural successor.
but since he entertains the same views
on the Armenian question as does Lord
Rosebery, it is difficult to understand
how he can be any more successful as
the leader of the party than was Lord
Rosebery.
1t is matter OF no little Importance
to note that while the masses of the
| English people are in favor of inter
vcntion by force of arms at CONSTANT
nople in behalf OF the Armenians, even
at the risk of war with Russia. that the
leaders of all parties with q slight ex-
ception are opposed to such a policy.
Lord Rosebery agrees with his great
opponent. Lord Salisbury. in this re-
gard, and, therefore, feels that as a
Liberal leader he is out of place and
should resign. which he has done.

WHAT KIND OF HISTORIES ARE
THEY.

According to the Omaha Bee warn
ing has been sen; GU: BY the Depart
ment Commander of the Grand Army of
the Republic against the teachings of
certain school histories said to convey
an incorrect idea of the principles at
stake in the war for the preservation of
the Union. If such text books have
found their way into Nebraskas public
schools. says the Bee, they ought TO be
wcedcd out without ceremony or delay.
Bat the only way to guard against
them Is TO give the public the name and
description by which they can be recog-
nizcd."
This is right, and by all means let the
public have the names and "descrip-
ton" OF these histories. for TO very
many people they will be curiostties If
they are what they are said to he. 1t
is news to the public to hear 1t said
that histories are being used in any of
the schools i'll the country which places
the Federal side of the late war In an
improper light. 1t has generally been

reported, hence the books referred TO
