WILL BENEFIT BOTH.

The Republican campaign managers
have adopted the old negro hunters
system and are setting their traps to
"catch de coon goin' and comm
They are sending out two kinds of lit
erature on the silver question. One
kind is sent to laboringmen, warning
them that free coinage would double
the price of breadstuffs and other nee
essarfes of life, and the other kind is
being sent to farmers, warning them
that free coinage will reduce the price
or value of what they have to sell.
These deductions are Numerically re
lated, and both cannot be- true. One
or the other must be wrong. The fact
is both are wrong. Free coinage gill
advance wages and it will advance the
price of farm products. Being less con-
trolled by the law of supply and de-
mand. the laborer will naturally de-
rive more benefit than the farmer, but
that both would be benefited there can
be no doubt. Not alone would the far
mer and laborer be benefited in the
way of higher wages and better prices,
but they would be benefited by con-
tinuous employment and by the con-
sequent increased demand for laborers
and for necessaries of life. For free
coinage would breathe new life into
every industry and open up avenues
to employment that have been closed
to labor for many years. When
the laborer is employed at good
wages 1T means that he can
and will buy more of the neces-,
saries of life, and in this way the far
mer's market viii be stimulated to
most appreciate extent. The interests
OF the farmer and laborer are identi-
cal. They merge. in fact, into one A
system of currency beneficial to one
must of necessity be beneficial to the
other. Free coinage would benefit the
laborer, it would. benefit the farmer, it
would benefit everybody but the man
who speculates on the peoples mis-
fortunes-the money shark.

TRUER WORDS WE'RE NEVER
SPOKEN.


When Bismarck stated that "inde-
pendent action by the United States
would force international bimetallism' -
he revealed a thorough knowledge of
the situation and made a statement
which no gold standard advocate in
this or any other country dare attempt
to contradict. This statement has been
made repeatedly by the American
press and by eminent American
statesmen, but it is doubly significant
when it comes from one of the two
great men of the eastern continent at
the sound of whose voice all Europe
stops to listen. Nothing can be more
4 logical and true than that independent
action by the United States will force
an International agreement to admit
silver to free and unlimited coinage. To
substantiate this declaration it is only
necessary 10 point out what the effect
would be on international trade. 1t
would at once establish close CONNER
cial relations between the United States
and many countries that use silver.
Right at the start the United States
would cut into the trade of England,
Germany and France and would divert
such volume of traffic from those
countries as to leave them no recourse
but similar standard of money. They
would either have to adopt the same
commercial rules or they could not
hope to stay this great loss of trade.
The country that would first feel the
effects and suffer most, by reason of
more extensive merchant marine. is
Great Britain That is the one country
thar stands in the way of an interna-
tional agreement and it would be the
first country to sue for admission to
the realm of bimetallism the ment
bimetallism becomes an established pol
icy of the United States. With BIZ
meeallism in the United States Eng
land could only maintain her present
large commercial trade by adopting the
same system. England's change of pol
icy would be Immediately followed by
France, Germany and all the great COM
mercial nations of the world, and the
result would be that silver. like gold,
would become standard and basal cur
rency the world over Therefore. Bis
marck and all others speak prophet
cally and logically when they say that
independent action by the United States
would force International bimetallism.
1t is just, as true and just as
logical on the other hand that
without independent action by the
United States international bimetallism
will never be established. For Eng
land, which is profiting by the present
financial policy of this country, and
upon whose action the action of the
other great powers depends, will never
release her grasp until compelled to.

TEACHING OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES

Whether foreign languages should be
taught in the public schools and in the
higher institutions of learning, is a
subject that is again being discussed
by eminent educational authorities. On
this. as on many other problems in
volving scholastic philosophy, there is
a multiplicity of opinions. Arrayed on
both sides of this question are edu-
Gators who are, or ought to be, familiar
with the advantages or disadvantages
of such curriculum. That there are
grounds for contention in this respect
few viii question. The object of teach
ing foreign languages is to give a
broader intelligence to scholarship and
lead up TO a more thorough education
than can be obtained by the study of
Angio-Saxon alone. Since the English
language is derivitive it is contended by
educators, and the point is we'll taken,
that, to have an intelligent compre-
hension of it. it is necessary to become
familiar with those languages which
constitute the primitive. 1t is fact
patent to every educator that our Ian
guage is incomplete, and that lmfta-
ton in linguistic attainment to This
alone circumscribes American scholar
ship and incumbers higher intellectu-
atty. But right here is where the two

THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

The Democratic state convention for
the nomination Of three presidential
electors and one representative in con
gress has met. has completed its work.
and has adjourned. The gentlemen
named as electors are well and favor
ably known to all the people of the
stare They represent all those who
are in favor of the free. unlimited and
Independent coinage OF silver. Their
nomination is the sincerest recognition
possible by the Democratic party that
the silver issue is the paramount issue
OF the campaign. The voluntary with
draWal of Mr.. Fisher Harris from the
electoral ticket after his nomination
by an overwhelming majority. and
against the desire of his party, that
the Silver Republicans might have di-
rect representation is a signal example
Of self ajbnegation without parallel. His
party could have bestowed no greater
honor upon him. he could have asked
from it no greater honor, yet he sur
rendered it from the purest motives Of
patriotism Dear as he already was

aears him to it still more. His sacrifice
viii nor be forgotten and shall yet be
rewarded.
The nomination OF Judge w. H. King
as the Democratic candidate for con-
gress viii meet with the hear.y APP
probation of his party. He is young,
able. brilliant, popular, and a silver
man to the backbone. The high esti-
nation in which he is held by his party
is evidenced BY the fact that he was
nominated by reclamation.
The distinguished recognition given
Hon. Hadley D. johnson was well de-
served. The free silver cause has had
no more ardent and devoted adherent
than he, while his name has always
been synonymous with Democracy.
We believe that the Provo convention
has nominated an electoral and con-
sressional ticket THAI cannot fail of
election The electoral nominees unite
the silver forces; the congressional
candidate represents everything for
which the silver forces are contending.
They deserve the united and aggressive
support of all who desire the success of
the free silver cause.

sides meet in sharp contact. Admit
ting that in order to reach Stage of
advanced scholarship foreign languages
should be studied how is this obstacle
ever 10 be surmounted. if the tendency
be to perpetuate foreign pronunciation
and avoid infringement on primitive
etymolosy. 1t is fact wor-
thy of note that the tendency
in educational circles is to re-
tain the foreign pronunciation and
in the utmost degree guard against any
modification indicative of anglicity. In
the light of this indisputable fact how
is the English vocabulary to be extend
ed? how is the English veInacular TO
be rounded out and made perfect, if
there be no attempt TO angiicize in
connection with the study of foreign
languages? The aim of every educator
should be to anglicize whenever posi-
bic. By doing this our own language
may be extended in scope to that ex-
tent that, in order to attain TO a high
standard of scholarship, it will not be
necessary to employ or accuaint our
selves with languages that are rela-
lively alien and some day doomed 10
utter extinction. Anglo-Saxon is the
ideal language. and the time will yet
come when il will be the language of
the world. However, until such time
as it shall be made complete by con-
tinuous additions through the medium
of anglicization curriculums without
foreign language would hardly be tie
proper thing.

SPAIN rs DOOMED.

Cuban independence is not far off.
! Conditions over which Spain has no
control win compel that country to
call home her brutal assassins and
leave the Cuban patriots to establish
government of their own. The fact
of the matter is. Spain is on the verge
Of bankruptcy. She needs 500. OOO 900
to liquidate her floating debt; 800. OOo,-
600 for ten months expenses in Cuba.
and S5O,OeO,OOO to meet obligations
whose payment can no longer be post
poned. This is what lei Dia.'' an in
dependent Spanish newspaper, says.
and it is no doubt approximately true.
1t viii be a signal for jubilation when
the Spanish dynasty shall fan. Of all
the monarchies on the face of the earth
this is the most cruel and oppressive.
In its name the most cruel outrages
have been perpetrated. Its history is
history of fiagitious robbery, merci-
less tyranny, shocking cruelty. For
years dependencies of the Spanish
crown have been grossly mistreated.
In the regal lexicon there is no such
word as justice. While generally be-
lieved to be a limited monarchy. the
people Of Spain have had little to say
as to her public policy. Her policy has
been one of plumber, domestic agrees
sion, arbitrary coercion and unstinted
theft. For years her foreign policy, in
regard TO her dependencies, has been
one of deprivation and robbery. She
has denied TO these dependencies Just
representation in legislative councils in
order that her plan of wholesale rob-
berry might not be overthrown For
years Cuba has not been given fair
representation. On the other hand,
Spain has legislated for Cuba, fixing
the tariff laws so as to place Cuba's
entire ocean commerce under Spanish
control She has used Cuba's trade to
acquire concessions from other coun-
tries to herself, and when these con-
cessions were not forthcoming she did
not hesitate to take advantage of her
sovereignty over Cuba, no matter how
ruinous that policy might be to the
Cubans. SUCH Indispensable wrongs lie
at the bottom of the Cuban uprising.
and they bid fair to be the primary
cause of the collapse of this most op-
pressive dynasty. That the Span
ish throne is toetering there can
be no doubt. Today. while
Spain needs for current and immedi-
ate use no less than $3.50, 900, co., her
fnanciers declare that her credit is lin
tied almost to s5O,OOO,OOO, and at best,
they admit that she can not negotiate
loans for more than S6O,OOo,0OO This is
the condition in which Spain finds her
self after a long career of unexamoled
barbarism and crime. It is well Re
tributive justice has overtaken her and
she viii go the way other monarchies
have gone and the way all remaining
are sure to go.

THE STRIKE AT LEADv1LLE.

Little, if any, change for the better
has taken place in the situation at
Leadville Reports from there state
that the strikers are bearing arms and
are inclined to resist interference at
the hands of the civil and military au
thogities. This phase of the question is
entirely separate and distinct from the
controversy between the miners and
the mine owners. The latter is ques-
tion of wages, while the former is a
question of law and order. No matter
what grievance the miners may have
they have no right to encroarh upon
the public peace. Upon this point there
can be no honest difference of opinion
among peaceabte and law-abiding citi-
zens. The grievances OF the miners may
be many and we'll founded, but than
does not justify them in attempting to
enforce arbitrament by resorting to
physical violence and lawlesSness. So
ciety has provided them with a way to
peaceably adjudicaEe their differences,
and when they ignore this and employ
methods specifically inhibited and &c
so far as to disturb the equilibrium of
public order. the state is in duty bound
to take them to swift account. 1t is
the imperative duty of the state to
mRinain law and order. 1t is the states
right to exact obedience at the hands
of all it's citizens No man Is a law
unto himself in SO far as this conflicts
with statutory sovereignty. The right
of men to jeopardize life and property
because they have grievances is no
where recognized and is everywhere
denied. In this country, where every
man is enjoined to obedience, it would
be a most strange and startling ano-
maly if such right were 60 obtain. Law
is but collective sentiment effectively
crystalnzed, and, while the sentiment
tality OF law may become irreconcil-
able to prevailing sentiment, the law
itself must stand and be Upheld until
nullified by duly constituted authority.
The strikers at Leadville are alnenable
TO the laws of Colorado, and, if they
are violating said laws in the manner
indicated by the dispatches, the state
should lose no time in taking such
steps as will speedily restore the public
peace. The states duty is to maintain
order, and that duty it should not
shirk.

TWO POETS.

The poet sat in his easy chair,
In a library rich and grand,
With etchings, and busts, and cases of
Ola books on every hand.
He slipped his wine. and he smoked his
pipe,
AS in luxury he wrote;
But the poem he polished in languid ease
No living man can quote.
Another poet in an attic high
Bent over a table bare;
And he thought, as he worked, with a
tired sigh,
OF the man in the easy chair.
He was hungry and faint for life with
him
Was mostly unbroken fast;
But the poem he wrote, to earn a meal
VIII live while the world shall last.
