AN IRATE DEMOCRAT.

Colonel John P. Irish has been ex-
Chicago convention. He is for the
gold standard, and he always has been,
we believe, so that his views cannot
be charged to his office-holding. He
is a very pleasant, genial gentleman
and has been an eloquent advocate OF
Democratic doctrines in the past, but
he cannot bear to think that free silver
shall be recognized by national con-
vention as a Democratic doctrine. He
wants war to the knife, and no com
promise. Every indication is that he
will get it. In his judgment, sthe
sound money men at Chicago, being
more than a third of the convention.
should stand together and vote solidly
for sound money candidate No par
ty authority capable of delivering a.
national canon has ever yet declared
that the free, unlimited, independent
coinage of silver at ratio of 16 to l
is a Democratic principle. We are
under no obligations to accept that
novelty at the dictation of recent Re
publicans like Boies, or anarchists like
Altgeld. Let them find ways and
means to nominate their candidate.
The two-thirds rule in Democratic CON
ventions was intended to be the last
refuge of principle. Let it be used to
that end in this emergency"
The sound money men stood together
yesterday on the question of tenn
porary chairman of the Democratic
national convention, but with rather
Indifferent success. If the two thirds
rule is invoked to prevent the nomina-
ton of a free silver candidate, it will
simply have to go. The colonel should
be prepared for this if what he ad-
vises is attempted

A PASTORAL.

Take my life, and make it sweet,
With a shown of dreamy days;
Place me in the MINDLESS ways,
Where a Na:ad sometimes strays,
Making music with her feet.
Put me in the lap of June,
Where a breath of roses rare
Gathers all the golden air;
Set me in the meadows, where
Rivers sing summer tune.
Lead me to the lovely land
Where my sweetest fancy dwells:
She shall make songs water-wells
Clear as golden honey. cells,
Through land of flower bells
We will wander hand in hand.
Make my roof of bluest skies,
Let a dreamy silence deep
All my rosy slumber keep
Love shall waken me from sleep
With a kiss upon mine eyes.

Handicapped By Cheap Labor.

We live in country wonderfully
endowed, splendidly equipped for a
successful struggle with any other.
Our fertile lands can feed billion
of people as readily as they now sus
tain sixty millions. We have a sea-
coast almost limitless, within our
borders one-half of all the fresh
water in the world, located in lakes
and rivers, as if our necessities and
convenience had alone been consul
ted; as many miles Of railroad as the
rest of the world, and as a legitimate
consequence, the lowest rates of
freight to be found anywhere. We
have inexhaustible mines of iron and
coal in twenty-four of our States and
Territories; even mountains of iron
like Pilot Knob and Iron Mountain,
said to contain 5O0,O00,00O of tons
of good quality, accessible. We |
have copper. lead, tin, gold, silver,
granite, slate, lime rock, marble, |
mountains of salt and sulphur. Our |
for wool growing and for |
cotton raising has never yet been
tested. Texas alone can easily pro-
duce all the cotton we manufacture
at home and export. We are pos
sessed to-day of the finest machinery |
and The best tools, with skill in
their manufacture able to respond to
all demands that may be made upon
it. We have more inventive genius
than any two of the nations of Eu-
rope. Our business men are ener
getic, bold and sagacious, our labor
ers the best in the world, active,
hopeful, and ambitious. With all
these advantages we cannot compete
successfully with the countries of
Europe. Why notY There is, there
can be but one answer, we are handi-
capped by the cheap labor there

This is an agricultural country.
When the farmer prospers all classes

est system strikes. the farmer first.
Senator Jones estimates that our
present dishonest money causes a
loss to American farmers OF over a
hundred million of dollars a year on
cotton and over two hundred millions
of dollars a year on wheat. and that
the loss on these two products alone
from 1873 to 1895 was the astonish-
ing sum of S4,3ll 900, 900. Isit any
wonder that there is hardship and
poverty throughout the land And
the favored classes that have appro'
priated all this pride themselves as
being "honest.n They have the au-
dacity to brand as dishonest any

Our so-called statesmen" have
said much about maintaining the
parity between gold and silver, but
not one word about maintaining the
parity between money and products.
This is the real question. 1t, dur
ing the past fifteen or twenty years
the parity between money and pro-
ducts had been maintained there
would now be no gold question or
silver question-nO financial prob
lem. Nobody would care what the
money is made Of so the parity be-
tween money and the products Of
labor is maintained. 1t is the APP
probation of money that has robbed |
the producer and brought on hard |
times, while the bondholders and |
money-lenders have waxed fatter
than ever. This condition has been
brought about by narrow ng our
money basis to gold alone. Decrease
the amount of money as compared |
with the total wealth and you in
crease the value of the money. This
is an axiom in finance, and this is
exactly what has been done. The
will suffer until this is I'M
done. Don't forget that parity be-
tween money and products is the real
question. Now products are low
because money, by being limited TO
a gold basis, is enhanced in value,
more products to obtain a
iollar. When we re-establish the
'ormer relation by remoneLizing sill

The cuban Situation.

After making all due allowance for
the inaccuracies, both Intentional and
unintentional, that mark most Of the
news from Cuba. it is still obvious
that the rebel cause is making no
less progress now that Weyler is in
command than it did while Campos
was at the head of the royal forces.
The new general has failed utterly
in his efforts TO bring about decis-
i've engagement, while the bands
under Gomez, Maceo and the minor
leaders continue to 90 about where
they choose and to do about what
they please. OF course, these de-
tached companies are "repulsed' as
often as ever, but that means abso-
lutely nothing except-what every
body knows-that they are conduct
ing a guerilla warfare, instead of
wasting valuable lives in cOmbats
with men better armed than them
selves. In this struggle, he who
fights and runs away may be a
"brigand" in the eyes OF his Spanish
foe, but he does more fighting, not
only on another day, but often dur
ing the same afternoon. Hence the
royalist indignation. and hence, also,
the steady exhaustion of the royal
list resources in men and money.
The system is not heroic, it is effec-
tive.-FrOm the NeiC York Times

that Scrap Assessment.

It is all very well, indeed, for the
Democratic politicians to deny the
attempt to steal the scrap assess
ment of Kent county, and it is also
easy for Frank Alice to deny scar
ing Dickson almost into faint, but
the plot as given in these columns
last week was true. nevertheless, and
the only reason the thing failed was
that Zeke Cooper erred in telling
John Salisbury Jake Kirk was a
Democrat, instead of which he is
Republican. They can call it a joke,
they must make some defence, but
the mere fact Of their calling it a
joke proves that there was an agree
ment to steal the assessment list.
The scheme failed and there was no
special damage done, but then if it
had succeeded, things would have
been very different.
