FOR FARMERs-AND OTHERS,

About half the silver advocates ap-
pear to have an entire misapprehen-
sion of the distinction between prices
and values. They tell the farmers that
free silver will enable them to get more
for their products. Now, do they mean
that bushel OF wheat will exchange
for more sugar, OF more shoes, or more
muslin, or more nails, than it does
now?
If they do we will be greatly Obliged
II they will show us how It is 10 be
done. The man who is able TO do that
has better thing OF it than had Alad-
din with his lamp.
one silver man writes us that the
price Of wheat and all other products
will be doubled under free silver" All!
The price will be doubled. YOU say; but
win the value be doubled? VIII farm
products exchange for twice the
amount of things the farmer can get
with them now?
or does he mean that the value will
remain the same. but that the price will
be doubled, which is quite a different
thing?
You can double the number Of BUSH
els Of grain any farmer raises by pass
ing a law changing the bushel from
2,15O cubic inches to 1857 cubic inches
by calling a half bushel a bushel.
But will the value OF the crop be dou-
bled? II will. Of course, be the same.
It is only measured by a smaller meas
ure.
You can double the number Of acres
in any farm by passing law that a
half acre shall be called an acre. But
will that increase the area of his land
by one square inch?
You can double the number Of tons Of
pig iron produced daily by blast fur
mace by passing a law that ton shall
weigh only 1000 pounds instead Of
1000 But is there any more iron really
produced?
So you can double the price Of all
farm products by passing a law that
a half dollars worth Of silver shall con-
stitute a dollar. But does that add a
penny to the actual value of his pro-
ducts?
The trouble with our farmers is that
values are too low. No change in mon |
etary standards can possibly increase
values, as illustrated above. Free
coinage is thus used 10 gull the farm |
ers by the constituencies demagogues
who are behind the silver movement.
We doubt if the American farmers are
to be fooled in any such way.

Independence of Cuba.

From the hour OF achieving their own
Independence the people OF the United
States have regarded with sympathy
the struggles Of other American peoples
to free themselves from European dom
ination. We watch with deep and abId-
ing interest the heroic battle of the Gu
ban patriots against cruelty and op-
preston, and our best hopes 90 out for
the full success Of their determined con-
test for liberty.
The government Of Spain, having lost
control Of Cuba and being unable to
protect the property or lives Of resi-
dent American citizens or to comply
with its treaty oblgatlones, we believe
that the government Of the United
States should actively use It's influence
and good offices to restore peace and
give independence to the island.

THE REPUBLICAN ISSUE.

There are many Republicans among
the workingmen who deem the most
important issue to be the tariff. They
want the conditions restored which will
bring a return of prosperity to the ma
ton, and they know that the re-enact-
ment of a properly protective tariff law
to be the first step which must be taken
in this direction.
There are many other Republicans
who believe the roncy c---t..n e. 10
paramount. They know that the sue
cess of the silver conspiracy will bring
ruin upon the country, through a fnan-
cial panic so great that all others we
have had would be but child's play
compared to it. And they desire 10
have every party energy bent to save
the country from such a cataclysm.
Which is the Republican issue?
Bluff Mark Hanna has answered the
question. He says: THE real issue Of
this campaign is to elect Major Nc
Kinley president Of the United States"
And he is right. That one issue in
wolves the others. The election Of Nc
Kinley will mean protection 1t Will
mean honest money. And every one
who believes in either or both should
bend every energy to the work of Sc
curing triumphant election for Nc
Kinley.
While the Democratic detection is
growing daily, the Republican lines are
showing firmer front The threaten
ed Republican cleavage in few West
ern states appears now to be entirely
checked. One state convention after
another walks squarely up to an en-
dorsement Of the st. Louis platform,
in some cases a specific endorsement
of the gold plank being made. Iowa,
Minnesota, and the Dakotas, where
there was much talk Of Republican dis
affection on the silver issue, had al
ready fallen into line, and yesterday
Michigan and Wisconsin Joined them
The Republican committeeman in Hi
nois, who a few years ago expressed
great fears for that state, now con-
fesses that a sweeping change in public
sentiment has set in, and that Illinois
is safe for Mckinley. All told, the
drift is at present decidedly against the
Democrats. Something may occur to
change the face of things, but their
best outlook is for an uphill fight
against increasing odds.
