POSSIBLE REVENUE ACTION.

TIE only legislative remedy for existing Ills
which the country can hope TO get until AFTER the
greater part OF a year has elapsed Is such n
change OF the revenue laws as may become pos
sbp next winter. After direct vote OF the pco-
pie In November. after the upholdlng or some
leaders on each side and the overthrow and po-
lltlcal extinction Of others 1t Is probable that
Democrats and silver men In Congress may alter
their purposes to some extent.
There are many. OF course. who Will never
reach so reasonable frame OF mind. But the
decision Of the people in this State. New-Icrsey,
Maryland and Delaware is likely 10 impress
upon the minds OF Democratic Senators from
those States that they cannot afford 10 resist the
tendency Of public opinion any further. Nor
would II be any abandonment Of principle for
these men 10 consent to the only changes OF reve-
nue. which could be carried through next win
ter for the purpose of meeting the necessities OF
the Government It Is not improbable that men
who have been battling against reputation and
Anarchy will by that time conclude that the way
to make their fight most effective Is to join hands
with the Republicans in settling so far as they
can the difficulties which have afforded pretext
for the PopulistSlver alliance
Last winter that alliance was bright bow Of
promise TO all the contracting parties. for they
really expected TO get n tremendous victory from
Il. But the silver men were set aside at chi
cago for the Boy Orator. and the association
With the Altgeds and Tmans, the Lewcllings
and Waites can hardly fail TO turn the stomachs
of some Of the silver men before the campaign
ends Should their movement be completely de-
feated. It would set aside for four years to come
the possibility Of building Up silver party. and
in that event the natural step on their part would
be to cease their hostility to the raising Of neces
sary revenue which 1t was an essential part Of
their scheme TO prevent last winter.

Nevertheless, the fact Is that an experiment Is
proposed, an experiment Numerically opposed
to the principles of this Government, and an ex
pertinent which has never been tried by any
Government without disaster
1t has been the fixed principle and lnvarlahle
practice OF this Government TO make the coinage

At the beginning Of our Government the
fathers of the Constitution" carefully ascer-

observed that the marke: ratio between the two
metals had changed, whereupon the statesmen

have been displaying zeal without discretion Of

highly important that men on the police force
