Yet during the years between 1880 and
1890, inclusive. there was appropriated
for the improvements of the Mississippi,
Missouri and their tributaries the ag-
gregate sum OF SS6, 164,921.
The Ohio river. in sixty-eight years,
has received $5.453, $40, according TO the
reports OF the chief engineer OF the
United States Army In charge OF the
work OF Improvement.
The census figures above quoted show
that the commerce on the Ohio river and
It's tributaries materially exceeds the
combined commerce OF the Upper MIS-
sissippi, the Lower Mississippi, the MIS-
souri, and all their tributaries in the
number OF vessels employed, in the tom
mage OF those vessels, In their value, In
the number OF passengers they carry,
and In the quantity Of freight trans
ported
The reasons behind these important
facts are not far to reach. The Ohio
river flows through the center Of the
most wealthy, most populous, richest
and most productive section Of the
country. To swell the commerce or the
river there comes the coal and Iron
manufacturers OF Pennsylvania, the
coal, and iron and wool of West Viz
ginia, the coal. grain and manufactures
of ohio, the manufactures. coal and
corn OF Indiana, the timber, mineral
wealth and. agricultural products OF
Kentucky and the grain and manufac-
lures OF Illinois.
The wealth OF these great states is
constantly increasing. Invested capi-
tai Is developing their resources every
year and by all natural laws the arti-
Giles OF commerce contributed by them
10 the Ohio and her tributaries should
also increase every year. provided the
river. as n cighway OF commerce, is able
to convey them. The one thing neces-
sary is the making OF such permanent
improvements Of the river as will fur
nIsh the necessary water and channel
fecilities unlnterruptedly throughout
the navigable season. This the federal
government alone can do.

The following is al extract from a
speech delivered by Secretay of the In
terror Hoke Smith IN New York against
free silver last May. He has since re-
signed from Cleveland's cabinet on ac-
count of his having gone over TO the free
silver forces. Is Mr.. Smith willing to
aid in bringing about the conditions he
described a few months ago?
The debtors would not be allowed TO
remain debtors until they could get the
advantage of paying off what they owned
at fifty cents on adollar; they would be
forced to Immediate settlements, Sher-
Ills and constabIes would call upon them
without delay. Depositors in banks
would withdraw their money. The large
merchants, forced TO settle their foreign
indebtedness, would insist upon the I'M
mediate payment of dehts due from small
Ter merchants. The smaller merchants.
IN turn, wonld be compelled to force col
lectlons from their customers. The presf
volume of business conducted npon
credicts, would cease.
Manufacturing enterprises could not
afford to continue business or make con.
tracts until the value of the new dollar
could be settled by the determination of
Just what 81 L grains of silver would
prove TO be worth. Manufactures would
close. Business houses would fail. Banks
would be raided. The unemployed would
be numbered by millions. The farmers
woHld find few purchasers for their pro-
ducts. Want and famine would pervade
the land.
business interests, reaching from the
richest banker to the poorest paid labor

the meaning of dollar. No man should

The Pilot does not wish Ia make mnch
reference to the convention held in Mil
waukee lat week. Bnt it cannot refrain
from saying that Il convention ostensibly
democratic, which makea trades with CON
ventions of two other political parties
and divides the offices between all three
is not acting as democratic convention
would a few months ago. 1t shows a
weakening Of political virtue which is
truly lamentable and likewise the blight
ing effect OF the abandonment Of princi
pie by the Chicago convention.
Then It's treatment of Sewall. the nom
Inee OF the Chicago convention for vice
president. 1t Is unusual ID sell ont a
nominee as the convention did Sewall
Watson the populist nominee Is to have
three electoral votes from this state
should the fusion of democrats, popu-
lists and sIlveriyes prove successful. The
men who composed that convention
would reject any such bargain with in
dignation a few months ago. They will
blush with shame for it few months
from now.
Following the lead of the Chicago and
Milwaukee conventions, Bob SchilIIng,
the great apostle of populism is to be the
democratic nominee for congress What
next?
