Lowell had that sharp, penetrating insight
that shrewd sense, that pierces pretense and

that crime He says: 81 have been triaing

WHY NOT QUAYs

The name of Matthew Stanley Quay,
sylvania, will be presented to the Re
publican national convention as the
choice Of that state for the presidential
nomination. We have the assurance Of
Gov. Hastings, whose recent revolt end
ed in renewed vassalage, that this
will be done. He points with pride
senator in the field of national politics
considerably emitting to mention that
which he displayed in the state last
year : his leadership in Republican
counsels and his fidelity to Republican
principles and policies, and especially
dilates upon the evidence of the SEN
pansive scheme Of internal improve
ments which would thread the country
with waterways and line the coasts
with fortifications.
We have not seen in any of our Re-
publican contemporaries outside that
state any reception of this presentation
of Pennsylvania prominent and noto-
rious son, which indicates enthusiasm,
and there is preserved an eloquent ST.
lence not observed in relation to any
of the other gentlemen whose names
are associated with the nomination.
This would seem to indicate that these
gentlemanly molders do not regard Mr..
Quay as a suitable or desirable candi-
date, or it may merely mark their con-
sciousness that it is only move in
the game designed for some other pur-
pose than to get the nomination for the
Pennsylvania. However, whichever
view is correct, should he really be
named. the seals now on their lips
would be broken, and they would break
out into loud acclaim and hail the
chief as a. model statesman, pure
politician, an exemplary citizen, a de-
vout Christian, typical Republican
and one altogether worthy of the suf-
frages Of the people. There will be
general bowling. of heads and one unan-
imous- declaration will roll along the
line that the country's salvation de
pends- on the. election of this man, the
5 ripe fruit of his party,s practices.
And why Should not Mr. Quay receive

the nomination? It is true that he car
ried into the senate an unsavory rec
ord; it is true that prominent and amp
ly responsible newspapers charged him
with peculation and ENLIGHTENMENT
while state officer; but has he not
been vindicated by his people? Has he
not been made senator since the
charges were made? It is true that he
paid no attention to the charges when
made by such papers as the New York
Evening Post but when they were re-
peated by slittle. paper of his own
state did he not follow an illustrious
precedent and ask the country to sus-
pend judgment while he prosecuted
his libel suit?y And did not jury Of
his own townsmen convict his libelers?
But even if the charges were true, his
party has hitherto shown it's ability to
select a tattoped candidate and give
him enthusiastic support.
Aside from these shadows on his rec
ord Mr. Quay has amply established
his qualifications u for presidential
nomination in his party. When, in 1888,
1t was seen by the managers of his
party that the critical point in the
contest was in the. city of New York.
and that all that was needed was suf-
11cient money to buy venal Democrats.
dld not Mr.. Quay take the s4OO, 900
raised by pious John Wanamaker and
use 1t to carry out the deal that de-
1eated Mr.. Cleveland? When Demo-
crafts were trying to force through a
senate, surcharged with protection, a.
Dill reducing taxation, did not the gal
iant quay stand in the breach with his
reams OF written speech and prevent
progress until Pennsylvania interests
were fully served? Did he not raise
MS undellVered speech to shield the
sugar trust? When, last year, there
broke out in his state and party re-
volt against his rule and his methods.

GENTLEMANLY LAW-BREAKERS.

To those who may think that the
G lobe's arraignment of the recent
coal combine was too severe for the
facts, we commend an article in the
last issue Of Bradstreet's. This journal
is not given to denouncing corpora
tons, or to stating as facts matters
which have not been carefully ascer-
tanned and thoroughly established. 1t
says that the agreement by
the presidents of the. coal
roads to regulate production
was regarded ~ with ,s great salts
faction in coal circles" We think it
quite likely. The size Of that satisfac-
ton was measured by an immediate
advance which amounted to 25 and 35
cents per ton at the East, and, as our
readers know, 81 in the Northwest. The
combination, says Bradstreet's, fixed
the aggregate production for the cur.
rent month at 4,5O0,OOO tons. They
made a regulation prohibiting con-
tracts for future delivery at low prices.
Iilo l1lCllOof. VI Ouy1IlS lids DSSu d
great advantage to the consumer in
the past, but the monopoly has de-
cided that only top-notch prices will
do for it.
The whole plan, as outlined by Brad
streets, is deliberate attempt to hold
together an Infamous monopoly in re-
straint Of trade. The only loophole of
escape lies in the slight fear which
some of the members of the combine
have of an application of the law. It
is understood that the interstate COM
mission is preparing to interfere and
ask these roads by what right they
have entered into such a traffic ar
rangement without it's permission and
approval. To avoid running against
this snag, the coal carriers were obliged
to make their agreement informal. 1t
is already whispered that some of the
smaller members Of the pool, whose
percentages are less than they think
themselves entitled to, will presently
break away. This is the only saliva
ton Of the people-that if the men,
bers of the trust do not make an IRON
clad agreement, they will Immediately
begin to try to ehisel each other. ex-
actly as they are in the habit of strip
ping the dear public; and if they do
make an iron-clad agreement. then
there is a possibility that even that
somnolent body called the Interstate
commission may some day awake from
its slumber and come down upon them
with the law. Those other laws, which
forbid the coal roads from entering
into any arrangement with coal pro-
ducers, and which prohibit the forma-
ton altogether Of any such agreement
as this combination, are rusting some
where in dfsuse, while neither state
nor national authorities make a move
ment in defense Of the people. 80
There is just one consideration here
that needs to be driven home thorough
ly into the y. minds Of all
fair and honorable people. When
a Debs has brought about

ties. when great strike is6on and law

thoughtful consideration of those
| among our readers who may be in
clined to agree with them. This is the
utter inadequacy of the means which
they propose to accomplish the end
that they desire. We can understand
more readily why any man should
be led away by their general argu-
ment than we can how he is able to
overlook the practical fact that, if
we had a free coinage act, it would
be entirely impotent to work the trans
formation without which, even from
the silver point of view, the people
would be no better off than before.
Dropping, for the present, the ques-
ton of the right or wrong, the gen.
eral advisability or inadvisability of
free coinage, and assuming, for the
which the silver people assert to have
followed demonstration do actually
exist and spring from it as a produc-
ing cause, the remedy which they pro-
pose is hopeless one. If the effect
upon prices of the cessation of silver
coinage has been what they state, it
has come about not as the effect of
action by any one nation, but because
Of the influence of all of them COM
bined. Since the whole world has
adopted this policy, the commercial
flo hot
changed from about Is to 1 to about
go to 1. That which all of them did
it would require all of them to undo.
By no possibility could action by the
United States alone reverse that
change of ratio in the markets of the
world, where all the other great ma
lions employ a standard that fixes the
other ratio.
No thoughtful man can contend
that this country unaided could lift
the price Of the enormous weight of
the worlds silver stock to twice what
it is today. Therefore action by us
would serve only to inf1ict upon us
the ills of the silver standard, of which
the wages and Industrial conditions
prevailing in countries where that
standard prevails are the example and
measure, without accomplishing the
restoration Of silver to its place in the
worlds coinage or to it's former ratio
with gold. The idea that this coun-
try, by simple act of congress, could
change the relation of value between
commodities which all the rest of the
world has agreed upon, not only with
in our territory but outside of it, or
that 1t could sensibIy affect silver
prices, is singular delusion. AS well
contend that if bushel of flax were
to exchange for two bushels of wheat,
and if we passed law compelling one
bushel of wheat to be accepted as a
tender in payment for one bushel of
fax, then the cash price of wheat in
the Liverpool market would be doubled.
The United States is a great and pow
erful country, but there are some
things that it cannot do. One Of them
is to fix, by it's domestic legislation,
prices for commodities that will be &C
copied by all the rest Of the world.
