THE republican national convention
held in Minneapolis in 1892, incorpor-
ited plank in its platform favoring
"bi-metallism, or the use of both gold
and silver as standard money, with
such restrictions and under such pro-
visions, as will secure the maintenance
OF the parity of values of the two met
ais, SO that the purchasing and debt
paying power of the dollar, whether of
silver, gold or paper, shall be at all
times equal" The Bi-metallic League,
which appears to be populist move
| ment, seems to 60 further than BIZ
metallism, and demands the free and
unlimited coinage of silver. The plat
form of the republican state conven-
ton of 1894, contained free silver
plank and the majority sentiment of
the people of the state, irrespective OF
party affiliations, appears to be for
"Sllver. The republican state con-
vention will undoubtedly go as far as
in 1894, and declare for silver, but the
populists, as a rule, are for "fiat
money" and their apparent espousal
of the cause of free silver will more
likely do it injury. Republicans should
steer clear of such alliances and work
for the adoption of their sen timents
within the lines of their party. When
the majority of the people believe a
change is needed, it generally comes
The republican county convention
next week should send free silver dele
gates to Everett and they should work
to secure a strong plank in the plat
form.

SUGAR-MAKING SOUTH.

We publish elsewhere an article from
the Richmond State in regard to sugar"
beet culture, and chccrfully join hands
with our esteemed contemporary i'll the
effort to bring this important subject be-
fore the capitalists and farmers of Viz
ginia. When the enormous amount of
money paid by the people of the United
States to foreign countries for sugar Is
taken into consideration, along with the
fact that all of this vast sum can be kept
ut home when the people here make their
own sugar, the importance of the matter
is easily seen. Experiments in THE cul-
ture of''sugar beets have already proven
successful in California and Nebraska,
and ii is believed that the roots can tie
grown in full perfection in all the South
crn States. There is. however, no way To
determine this matter except to make
the experiment, and the sooner this is
done the sooner the question OF making
our own sugar will be settled
In Germany. France and other coun.
tries. where sugar bccts are grown, there
are factories for extracting the sugar in
cel tain localities To which the beets are
brought and paid for, according to their
value. ln.this way II good investment is
found for capital in the erection and oper-
alton of the factories, while at the same
time thc,.beet growers receive the ready
cash for their product by erecting Il
few factories in different States the sue
cess of the experiment could he settled in
u year or two, and rs there is hardly any
doubt that with proper cultivation the
beets could be grown in almost every
state in the Union, there is no reason
why the people of Virginia and the rest
of the South should not he making all the
sugar they need in a very few years. The
keeping of two or three hundred million
dollars at home every year would add
greatly to the wealth of the country, and
as the money thus saved could be in
vested in other ways,it is easy to see how
much the people ut large would be bene-
flied.
Experiments in making sugar from the
sorghum cane have been in progress for
years, but not with such satisfactory re-
suits as could be desired. With the
problem of sugar beet raising successfully
solved however, the question Of making
