Germ offers to pay one Mexican dollar
per bushel for the farmers wheat. The
Mexican dollar contains little more
silver than ours and would be worth a
little more than our dollar if free coin
age prevailed. The farmers find that
the dollar they get for their wheat will
buy only half a dollars worth ofgoods.
so they are no better ofthan now, when
wheat brings 80 cents in gold.
Contrary to general belief the Re-
publicans of the far West and South
are not all boiling the national ticket
because OF their silver views. In Col
orado, the state committee has en-
dorsed Mckinley and the silver
tongued Wolcott will not follow his
colleague, Teller, into the Bryan ranks.
Senators Mantle OF Montana, Shoup of
Idaho and Prichard of North Carolina
will also stand for Mckinley. While
Republican success in these states is
hardly to be expected it is encouraging
to know that large element of the
party there stands fast to its colors.
The country wants no more Of free
trade The elections of the past three
years have shown that. If the tariff
were the issue this year that it was in
1892, there would be no question OF the
result. But the Democrats have ingen-
iously introduced the silver issue to
hide their weak case and hope to be
given new lease of power by holding
out golden inducements on that. Vo-
tiers should remember that the only
way they can get protection is by cast
ing Republican ballots. Bryan is a
pronounced and radical free trader.
