WHY INCREASE THE STANDING
y ARMY?

With universal financial distress among
the people, and a deficit of more than
S2h 900 900 in the revenues of the united
States within the first quarter of the cur
rent fiscal year, besides an increasing one
in prospect, Gen. Nelson A. Miles wants
to augment the regular army at least one
third. with discretion given to the Presi-
dent. whenever he feels like it, to more
than double it. He at the same time
wants to spend, at once. some $25,00O,00o
in big guns and coast defenses-nearly
all of it. of course, on points north of
washington. This man probably never
produced anything of value equal to the
gliding on his buttons-hence the expend-
ing of few hundreds or thousands of
millions of the earnings of other men is
a small matter to him, except as 1t may
enable him to strut somewhat more POM
pously.
Gen. Miles is the hero whom Cleveland
sent to Chicago in 1894, to maintain gov
eminent by injunction, and who made an
utter failure even in that. His attempt
to answer Altgeld's Cooper Union speech
he was the only man fool hardy enough
TO try twas noticed only to be derided.
About a year ago, when we stood on the
verge OF war WITH E1iSiohu, &c was sup
posed. he made haste to inform all the
world that our coasts and cities were en-
tirely at her mercy; an exploit which
should have cost him his commission. He
forgot the proprieties-if he ever knew
them-of his place, as ranking officer Of
the armed police of the whole people Of
the United States. so far as to spout con-
CALCULATIONS publicly about the success
in the late election of one part of his mas
tiers and employers over another part of
them. o
The day of Indian forays and fights
has about passed. 1t was in them that
Gen. Miles acquired, whether deservedly
or not, whatever reputation he has. His
later exhibitions of himself suggest that
he is not fit for anything higher or better;
and as they are about gone, he, too, ought
to go, and not stand much upon the order
of his going.
We have no Indian nor foreign wars
on hand or in prospect. Even Cleveland's
pretended bullying of England does not
now afford any promise of fight. He

DELUDING THEMSELVES AND
READERS,

1t does an injustice to: the hundreds of
thousands of voters, friends of bimetal-
lism, who cast their votes for Mr.. Bryan.
to suppose they will give up the fight so
nobly begun because they have suffered
defeat. We believe the people who cast
their votes for Bryan are made of sterner
stuff. They advocate great principle
which they believe Is right and necessary
to the prosperity and welfare of this
country, and they feel greatly encour-
aged by the large vote cast. To throw
away this advantage would be utter folly
on our part, and boiling newspapers, such
as the Mobile Register and Montgomery
Advertiser, are deluding themselves and
their readers when they state that the
cause of biInetalilsm has received its
death blow.-Brewton Standard duage.

foreign birth. OF these the states which
voted for Sound money last week con-
tained 7,9S7,277 while only 1,2lO,576 were

THE WAY TO STOP SILVER AGITA-
TON

The men who propose to continue to
discuss the silver question will not keep
up the discussion simply because they
can or because those who favor the gold
standard want them to hush. They will
do it because they honestly believe that
this country can never be prosperous I'M
der the single gold standard. They be-
lieve that they are just as much entitled
to continue to be heard to say that free
coinage will bring prosperity as are those
who believe in the gold standard are to
be heard to say that the gold standard
will restore prosperity. They know they
are and they intend to cease discussing
and agitating the question when prosper
ity is in reality restored
If Mr.. Hanna and his party which will
go into power in this government on the
4th of March next, can restore prosperity
in this country, he need not keep his cam
paign headquarters open and his clerks
and employees in that department sending
out gold standard literature. 1t will prove
to be waste. of time as well as a source
of doubt to the investor who we are told
does not want to let his money go until
the question is settled.
Prosperity, general and permanent will
kill and bury the silver craze and that is
the only thing that will do 1t. Mr.. Han
ma may charter cars by the thousand and
equip printing offices by the hundred and
employ them day and night in printing
and sending broad cast over the country
gold standard literature, but 1t will not
take the place of general and permanent
prosperity. 1t will not kill and bury the
silver question. 1t will not silence those
who with Mr.. Bryan honestly believe that
return to true bimetallism is the only
way by which prosperity can be restored.
The thing for Mr.. Hanna and Mr.. Nc
Kinley and all the newspapers that be-
lieve prosperity can be had only by main
tanning the single gold standard, to do Is.
to cease abusing the people who differ
from them, cease commanding them to
hush, cease posing as the only patriotic
Americans and go to work to put their
theories to the test, resting assured that
IL they prove to be correct and result
in a restoration of general and permanent
prosperity that those who differ from
them now will be the very first ones to
throw up their hats and welcome the re-
turn of good times and express gratifica-
ton at having met with defeat in the re-
cent election. 1t is good times and not
the Offices the free coinage advocates
most desire. 81
