noesn,t Renresent the PeonIe.

No truer words were ever spoken in the
Senate than those uttered by Senator
Sherman the other day when he said:
The Senate does not represent the peo-
pie; it represents the states"
The House represents the people, and
the House by an overwhelming majority
voted, few days ago, against the free
and unlimited coinage of silver. The
Senate, by small majority, voted for
free silver coinage, but, as Senator Sher-
man pointed out, twenty senators who
voted in the interest of silver, represent
ten states whose combined wealth and
population are equal to only about two
thirds of the wealth and population of
Ohio.
Senator Sherman, however, neglected to
say that the republican party is RESPONSE
BILE for the admission of most of these
states that are now obstructing the policy
of that party. He ought TO have stated
the whole truth. He ought to have ex-
planned that in republican national con-
ventions the free coinage voters were en-
couraged to vote the republican ticket by
being told that they could strengthen the
cause of silver by putting the republican
party in power, because that party would
admit territories as states which would
send free silver coinage senators and rep
resentatives to congress.
That party redeemed its pledges, and
now it finds that the senator's from the
sage-bush states-states for which it is
respopsible-are not only standing in the
way of its policies. but are threatening
It's disruption.
The republican party from it's very be-
ginning has priced party success above
the public welfare. The truth of this
statement is shown not only in the ad-
mission of new states for the sake of the
additional power it hoped to gain by
means of them, but also by the enormous
pension buTden--a burden created with
the view largely of making republican
voters of the. pensioners. The republic
can party is now paying the penalty for
its partisan work. The republican lead

all hristian workers of the south some-
