A MINORITY FACTION.

II Is all very well 20 say that the West
should have its rights recognized. and
that It's demand for free silver should be
acceded 10 as being that OF majority Of
the people. but an investigation OF re-
cent votes on this question shows that
the silver people are being allowed much
more consideration than they are entitled
10. OF the forty-five states Of the Union
only eighteen-Alabama. Arkansas. Cali
sornia. Colorado. Georgia. Idaho. Aissis-
sippi. Montana. Nevada. North Carolina.
Oregon. South Carolina. South Dakota.
Texas. Utah. Virginia. Washington and
wyoming-gave a majority Of their votes
TO free silver In the house Of representa-
tives when the free silver substitute was
before that body. These eighteen states
represent less than eighteen Of the seven
ty-two millions OF people In the United
States. Their assessahle wealth il less
than g. 900 ooo. 600 out OF . total OF more
than 81. ooo. 900 600 in the country.
In the senate the members from the
free silver states have thirty-six votes.
against only ffty-four for the remainder
of the country. From the silver states
there is a senator to every 10000 popuia-
ton. From the anti-silver states one SEN
ator to the million population. For every
senator from a silver state there are TWO
ana one-half representatives In the lower
house; for every senator from an anti
silver state there are five representa-
tives in the popular branch. Each silver
senator represents sloo. 900 OF taxable
wealth; each anti-silver senator repre-
sents nearly saoo.ooo.ooo of taxable wealth.
In the electoral college. Notwithstanding
the undue weight given TO small states.
they have only LIS votes out Of q total OF
al
In view of this showing. Is 1t TO be won
dered at that the people of the country
are not tumbling over one another to sup
mort the free silver idea? The free silver
faction is a minority faction. and until
Il becomes a majority faction it is unreal
sonabls that all legislation should be
made secondary TO a measure which Is
not Endorsed by the country at large.
