As TO THE CONSEQUENCES.

As to the consequences there should be
no misunderstanding. We have already
quoted many authorities on finance as to
the result of the adoption of the 16 to l
free coinage proposition, but this high
English authority, it appears to US,
should be sufficient to clinch the argu-
ment. The distinguished English BIZ
metallist, Sir Morton Frewen, we'll known
throughout the Rocky mountains, says:
81 ejoice in the revolt of the Dem ocratic
party, and venture to say, also, that,
should that party be successful in elect
ing free silver president and congress,
before Mr.. Cleveland goes out of the
White house, an international arrange
ment will have been secured. The Roths-
childs here, the wealthy investors in
every capital in Europe, could not afford
to sit still and see your country go it
alone.' Europe will respond to your
spirited initiative"

and that such action on the part of the
Democratic party was the only hope OF
the restoration of free silver coinage for
years to come. 1t was then claimed by
the writer that the goldites. were already
virtually certain to dominate the Repub-
lican national convention and were bend
ing all their efforts to secure control of
the machinery of the Democratic party
so they could dictate its declaration of
principles and name its candidates, well
knowing that success in these undertake
ings would force self-respecting silver
men to place third ticket in the field
and that this would inevitably result in
the election of the Republican candidates
either in the electoral college or in the
present Republican and goldbug house of
representatives. INDUCING an earnest
hope, amounting almost to confidence,
that the great Democratic party would
not commit suicide for the accommoda-
ton of Wall and Lombard streets and
perspiring and painting Republican
pie-counter patriots, but would bold
ly espouse the righteous cause
of the people in the irrepressible
struggle for bimetallism, the New Mex
loan at that time led all contemporaries by
the publication of the appended original
coinage classification of the electoral col
lege based on the theory Indicated:

NOT GROWING MUCH THIS YEAR.

The word has been passed around and the
Mckinley organs in the land are doing their
best grinding to make the tariff the issue
The st. Louis convention itself relegated
the tariff to the rear. Not all the stump
speakers and all the party organs in the
land can set it up again in this campaign.
There was but one way in which to make
the tariff the issue in this campaign, and
that was to make the Republican plat
form of one strong declaration for higher
tariff, and nothing else. Instead of doing
this the st. Louis convention gave it's
work and thought and discussion to the
gold plank and paid very little attention
indeed to the tariff. The tariff is rooster
that has done some good fighting, but he
isn't in the pit this time. He may do a
little growing in his coop adjacent to the
scene of battle, but that's all.

Necessary TO cnOlce...... ............ "a
That was the way the situation then
appeared to our eyes. But conditions
have since wonderfully changed and the
changes have all been favorable to the
cause of silver. The Republican apostles
of gold and greed in New York and New
England have forced upon their party a
much stronger declaration for the single
gold standard than we dared to forecast
in January, and the historic party of JEFF
ferson and jackson has proved its splen-
did vitality by successfully recognizing
itself within itself in spite of the power
full gold influences of the Atlantic states
and has proclaimed principles and nomi-
mated candidates that instantly remove
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michi-
gan and Minnesota, with their eighty
eight electoral votes, from the doubtful
to the silver column and render the tri
umph of silver Democracy as certain az
the coming of Tuesday, the Sd day of
November, 1896. Indeed, the recent
stirring events connected with the men,
orable struggle for silver in the Demo
ratio party encourage the hope that sew
eral states named in the gold column and
even Ohio may give their electoral votes
to Bryan and Sewell. But these votes
will not be needed. Give us the votes of
Kentucky and Illinois and we will have
quite sufficient.

IT is to be regretted, says an exchange,
that bicyclists are often seen with open
mouth. With some, this pernicious habit
was fixed in childhood. But when it is
observed only after exercise, such as BIZ
cycling, it indicates that the heart and
lungs have been subjected to undue
strain, which should not be repeated.
Medical experience aflirms that so long
as the cyclist can breathe freely with the
month closed he is safe, at least 80 far as
heart strain is concerned.
