sTRIKING sIGNIFIcANCE.

There IS q degree Of significance IN this
action which viii not b. lost upon the
Republican party. and which should be
appreciated by the silver Democrats OF
the South.
II shows that the belief. fostercd by
western silver senator's who misrepfe-
sent their constituents, that the West is
IN favor Of free silver, is erroneous.
South DakOta's example will doubtless
be followed by North Dakota and by all
the other western States not directly in
terested in silver mining. The boast Of
Chairman Carter that he will control
cighty-six delegates from tho silver States
Ol the West. whose votes viii be cast IN
the convention for free silver and free
silver nominee. seems 10 have been pre-
maturely made. and the indications are
that the number OF Republicans States
that send silver delegates TO the Republi-
can Convention will probably not exceed
the number OF the silver-mining States.
COALITION BETWEEN THE SOUTH
AND WEST.
The Importance Of this prospect comes
from the fact that the silver men Of both
the Republican and Democratic parties
are looking forward 20 coalition OF the
South and the West 20 force depre-
ciated currency upon the country. South
Dakotas action not only serves notice
upon the southern silver men that they
can gain no assistance from the West.
but that a union OF the free-silver Re-
publicans and the free silver Democrats
can only result I'm a miserable failure.

SILVER AND WAGES.
f. IIoFER.

The Salem gold organ tells the
labOring men Of our city that il they
vote for free coinage OF gold and silver
they will cut their wages in two. II
this were true IL would be good
argument for the present gold stand
ard. But IL is not true that to restore
silver TO its place as money would cut
wages OF labor in two.
What is the condition OF labor un-
der the present gold standard? Gold
is locked up and labor is not employed,
or only employed at about one-half
the former wages. Is not this fact?
viii any Salem manufactures agree
TO double the wages of his employees II
the gold standard prevails in Novem-
berY VIII he agree to raise wages to
where they were ten or twenty years
ago?
We were then on gold standard.
We are now on gold standard. They
ask us 10 continue on gold standard.
Have we not the right TO ask them,
will they agree TO maintain even pres
ent wages? We say this is fair
question.
Under the present gold standard
there has been constant aud ruinous
fall in prices OF wages and products.
Before our gold standard friends
threaten MS with evils that are imag-
mary, let them turn their eyes upon
the evils that exist. We hope some of
them VIII take this up and reply.
