Tho nIedoC Wines,

Only by journey to tho very head of
the long promontory between the Atlantic
and tho Gcnndo can ono form an idea of
the prodigiuus quantity of the Mcdoc
wines For 30 miles you are never quite
out Of sight Of vineyards. Hero and there
they absorb tho horizon on both sides.
They arc strikingly different in quality,
however, rs has been said. a patch OF
wizenod, shriveled plants, with n few
leaves and no alluring clusters, may be
seen absolutely contiguous to vineyard
full of fine, healthy fruit 1t Is of course
an affair of cultivation and soil Like
other things, tho Medoc grape responds
eagerly to loving care. You may have
plants Of first class pedigree, and the soil
that suits them best, and yet fail to pro
duce distinguished wine, if your Guilt
vators are not of as good quality as your
plants. Like hops in England, the vines
are most sensitive to human attention.
Unn marvcls little at the apparently
rude nature of tho soil to tho vines on
which labels with famous names are af-
fixed. But the truth is the Medoc vine
does not want to be excessively pampered.
Give it good, rough, gravelly soil, with a
fair proportion of sand underneath, for SUI
perfluous rains to vanish readily into, and
1t will be as grateful TO you rs 1t well
knows how to too. A gravely subsOil yields
wine remarkable for delicacy, but IL there
be prcponderance of stones Ia the sub
soil the wine will be strong rather than
delicate, appealing to the brain more than
to tho palate. -Chambers' Journal.

Must Preserve Our Credit.

Credit plays a great part in the
silver question. lfyour merchants
buy goods from England, you will
find that credit amounts TO a great
deal, and on a silver basis we will
pay big sum for this
credit. This is why mer-
chants do not want a silver basis.
They say that on a silver basis you
will scale down our debt one,half
Would you do it, and deprive the
man you owe OF one.half of what
you owe him1 Shall the nation
do itp
IL say no, and not from senti-
ment do | make this statement, but
from a selfish reason. We must
preserve our credit in the world,
and if we adopt silver basis we
will ruin it the world over. We
want no silver basis to help us out
of these hard times, because the
silver basis is dishonorable. Dis
trust brought on these hard times
in 1893, and hard times will last
until we turn down these Silverites
and when we settle this thing for
good and all in November we will
hear no more of hard times"

cial nations. II the free coinage
OF silver is to be restored side by
side with gold coinage, it can only
be by renewed Joint action OF the
commercial nations.
If free silver coinage is attempted
without that joint action, il will I'M
mediately put us upon the silver
so cent basis. There is no gold
coinage in the present free silver
countries, like Mexico and China.
II the United States alone were to
become free silver country gold
coinage would stop here also. No
body would send gold to the Mint
to be coined when for every dollars
worth Of gold he could buy silver
enough TO make two silver dollars.
We have now the fullest measure
of bimetallism that we could have

and practically all the silver, about

ment, we and other nations could
carry more silver on the same basis.
The Republican party favors the
latter proposition, and, until it can
be reached it stands by the former.
Instead of being inconsistent, the
two positions absolutely fit to-
gether and the one grows out Of the
other.
1t is Bryan and his partisans who
hold the contradictory positions.
He processes to be a blmetallist.
But he advocates free silver coin
age by this country alone, without
the aid OF any other nation, and
that would plunge us at once upon
the silver basis. So that in reality
he is not a bimetallist, but a
silver monometallist He may
deceive himself, but he cannot de-
ceivc the country. The questions
with which he truculently proposes
to "drive the Republican party
from the field" will result in a dis
cussion which will overwhelm him
and his Populistic party with con.
fusion and condemnation.

Democratic Doctrine.

The proportion between the
values Of gold and silver is a
mercantile problem alto
gether. y y lust prin-
ciples will lead us to disregard
legal proportions altogether;
to inquire into the market
price of gold in the several
countries with which we shall
principally be connected in
commerce, and to take an
average from them. A com
should therefore be
appointed to inquire what are
the proportions between the
values of fine gold and fine
silver at the markets of the
several countries with which
we are or probably may be
in commerce, and
what would be a proper pro
portion here, having regard to
the average of their values at
those markets, and to other
circumstances, and the coin
age of gold and silver at our
mints should be at the ratio
thus determined.

A wise man will be wise enough
alone, but 40 wise men in a row
will be fools-and proud OF it.
Then there will be 40 more. Then
there will be convention. Then
there will be an epigram, and then
tell it not in Gath, publish it not
in the streets Of Askelon, lest the
I daughters Of the Philistine rejoice
there will be a toot--a scraping
of the feet-a President of the
United States. A convention is
never in any sense a normal repre-
sentation of normal manhood on
any issue. Foreshortening the
truth with itself, caricaturing what
it loves, distorting what 1t hates,
it is the one place on all the earth
where the absurd can literally be
made sublime, where the truth can
be swept aside impressively, where
bigotry can be glorious, where men
with shouts of JOY, can place on a
hoodlum's head the halo of the
gods. The recent adventure which
the Nation has experienced in
Chicago is one OF those expressive
events which the Great Spirit
seems to have substituted in mod
ern times for prophecy. 1t reveals
to a popular government a fact
that it will have to face-the fact
that there is nothing more whimsi-

THE question before Congress
is, whether it is now sale and ex-
pedient to offer free coinage to the
the silver dollar Of 4I2H grains,
with the mints of the Lain Union
closed, and Germany not permit
ting silver to be coined as money.
At current rates of silver, the
free coinage of dollar containg
/4I2H grams, worth in gold about
ninety-two cents, gives an WfgiH-
mate pyemto the owner OF the bull
lion, enabling him to take ninety
two cents worth of it to the mint
and get it stamped as com, and
force his neighbor to take It for a
full dollar. This is an undue and
unfair advantage which the Gov

defrauds the man who is forced to
