aCoin's" Fake About Grant.

The Populists and Democrats so frc.
qucntly quoted "Coin" Harvey's charge
that General Grant once said he signed
the act of 1873 without knowing what
it contained on the subject of silver
that Attorney General ketcham of In
diana wrote To Colonel Fred Grant ut
New York for particulars. Colonel
Grant replied that his father always IA
vored paying the workingman in honest
money
From the time that he was inaugu-
rated president until the resumption of
specie payments act was passed all his
public announcements, and. so far rs
know, all his private statements, wero
aimed 10 secure stable currency to the
people Of the United States, said Colo
mel Grant
1.-THE coinage act of 1878 does not
eliminate the silver dollar from our
coinage. In fact, the United States has
coined since then more silver dollars
than had been coined during the entire
period Of our national existence before,
and most Of these coins were made dur
ing his lifetime. II is, therefore, not
probable that General Grant ever said
that Inc would have vetoed tbe act Of
1878 If he had known that the silver
dollar was dropped from the coinage
when the silver dollar was not dropped
from the coinage-ard would not be-
lievc any one who said that he bad heard
my father make such remark.

According to Re ublican organs,
one point appears to be settled in any
near future tariff revision, and that is,
that caution and moderation shall be
observed in such revision. aud the, .
is no danger of a repetition of the Nc
Kinley monstrosity Of. 1890. The re-
vision will be in the direction of regu-
lating alleged inequalities and of pro.
vidiDg sufficient revenues to meet the
exigeDcies of the government. That
is the plan mapped out by the con-
servstive element Of the Republican
party, but it 10 expected that it will
meet with determined opposition from
tho radical wing Of the party, aided
and Allotted by all the monopolists,
trusts and combines of the country. 1t
10 thought, however, that coneerva-
tism will finally prevail. The leaders
1t the parties will bear in mind the
lessons Of 1890 and 1892.

There 10 some talk now among Re.
publican leaders Of creating . tariff
commission to which shall b. referred
the intricate question Of tariff revision,

be organized, and the subject Of the
tariff approached 10 - u~oprejuced
and d~isinterested manner, with the
s0le end in view OF attaining the
greatest good Of the greatest num-
Der, this proposed method Of
revising the tariff would be an excel
lent one. It would take the tariff out
Of politics, and give congress IN OPP
poituuity to treat it - q purely eco
nomical question, which it is. Here.
t0fOre, the question has been treated
as . political issue, and that method
OF treatment alwaya works injury. not

flow from . we'll regulated tariff.
1t is much to be spprehepded, how
ever, that any commission appointed
would b more or less partisan or
biased. unless one be created a. q sort
Of permanent body, with quasi judi

Within the past eighteen months
twenty two savings banks failed in
New Hampshire, holding deposits to
the amount Of ST., 0OO, 900, and the
losses to depositors aggregate $780,.
600. The failures, it is claimed, were
due to the decline of farm property in
the West, on which mortgages we're
held. This shows that the property
OF the whole country depends on the
prosperity of the farming class
States.
The decline of farm property ia due
30 the u0remunerative prices Of the
products Of the farm, which some
single-gold standard papers maintain
subserve the general good /; for say
they, all the people, except the farm
ers, are interested 10 having the pri-
Gee Of products of the farm as low az
possible. In arguing for the single
standard they wander into the mire of
inconsistency and a%bsurdity.
The States utters q wholesome truth
when it says that the prosperity Of
the whole country depends on the
prosperity OF tho farming class. Un-
fortunately for the general good of the
country, many of our latter-day So
called statesmen have lost sight 81
this great truth Of political economy,
and seek 10 restore prosperity by fos.
tering manufactures at the expense OF
agriculture, the keystone in the arch
Of prosperity. 1t seems to be an act

would put the cart before the horse,
and expect tO make substantial pro.
gress in the propulsion Of the cart.
