~ these public men VINO are sincere
Dable OF rising 20 the fun ncasw-e
statesman. Such men are leaders OF
highest tgpe. They study public ques-
as thoroughly. and follow their con-
,icHons whatever the consequences TO
themselves may be. They are liable Of
course TO make mistakes. but, as a rule.
they survive defeats and have the sat
'isfaction finally Of seeing the principles
they advocate accepted.
Too many public men smother their
convictions. if they have any. and pursue
d course they think is popular. They
want 10 retain their offices or get office
and, hence. they follow public sentiment
instead of leading it, They adopt this
or that view Of a great public issue be
cause it is popular and promises to open
the way To political honors. Such men
may achieve temporary prominence. but
they seldom win lasting fame. The peo-
pie trust them for little while. but aban-
don them when they discover their lack
Of sincerity.
Periodically a political craze Of some
sort is started. At first only men who
seek office try TO become leaders of fl.
If it takes firm hold of the people, and
threatens the supremacy Of the old polit-
ical parties. the majority of the leaders
Of the Old paUties hasten to identify
themselves with it. The welfare Of the
country and the happiness of the masses
are secondary considerations with them
Their sole aim is to keep at the front
at any cost.
When the farmers alliance promised
to become a great political factor the
! politicians stumbled over each other in
their haste to accept its declaration Of
| principles They wanted to be measured
by the alliance yard stick, and they swal-
lowed the sub-treasury scheme without
even making a wry face. The alliance.
as a political power. is thing of the
past, and there are politicians in this
state who are not at all proud of the fact
that they We're once earnest supporters
Of the sub-treasury scheme
And we are sure the time will come
when politicians who are now prom
inent will not care to have it recalled that
they were afflicted with the silver craze.
| Indeed in some quarters, the suggestion
is thrown out that there are those who
are now seeking office as silyerites be-
cause they think the silver sentiment pre-
dominates. Mr.. Tom Watson, in his paper,
insists that Mr.. Crisp killed free silver in
March, 1892, when he was speaker of the
House We do not undertake to express
an opinion as to Mr.. Crisps sincerity in
| respect to silver.

Money of Final pnxment.

The advocates of unlimited coinage of
silver a the ratio of l6 to / make frequent
use Of the term. Money of final pay
ment." They claim that there is need for
a very large increase of the volume of such
money. They never. under any circum-
stances, make it plain what they mean by
money of final payment" The term they
always use in the abstract. and there is
never any suggestion from which a salts
factory conclusion may be drawn.
What do the silverites mean by money
of final payment" If they mean any
thing at all it must be money that will
discharge any debt in full.
Within the borders of the United States
any debt public or private. may be dis
charged in full with any of the several
kinds of money authorized by the federal
government, except that subsidiary coins
are legal tender only in sums of ten dol
lars. Silver dollars, gold coins. coin GER
tihcates. treasury notes, bank notes and
greenbacks are fun legal tenders in any
amount. They are. therefore, money Of
final payment, in so far as transactions
limited to this country are concerned.
There is. however, another and broader
meaning of money of final payment" and
it is the only correct one. 1t means the
money with which balances of trade be-
tween different countries are paid. In In
ternatonal traffic. between silver as well
as gold standard countries, gold is the
measure of value, and the only money of
final payment for trade balances. Gold
would be the only money of Anal payment
for balances or trade between this country
and Europe whether the United States re-
tained its present standard or adopted the
standard of silver. No amount of legisla-
ton by the United States could make
England accept 16 ounces of silver for one
ounce Of gold, when the commercial ratio
is about 81 to l. Even the silver advocates
are forced to admit that the adopting of
the silver standard would force the gold
out of the country. The effect, therefore
of the adoption of the 16 to / idea into our
financial system would be to drive all the
real money of final payment out of the
country, and leave in use here. for the
settling of balances of trade, money worth
in the markets of the world only half its
face value.

The NIcnraEnn Canal.

Once again the Nicarauga canal pro-
ject is before US. II seems from the re-
port Of the commissioners to congress
that the undertaking viii require a great
deal more money than was at first thought
10 carry out the plans. Il cannot be con-
structed FOR less than about twice the
amount originally contemplated as SUM-
clent. which amount was S70.O01.0l0 This.
however. does not appear TO be just cause
TO warrant congress in abandoning its In
terest in the project. 1t would be rep
rehensible tardiness on the part Of con-
gress to Ie1 this session of congress pass
without taking some action that would
promote in no uncertain way this i'm
po-tant undertaking. which means so
much to the world of American commerce
and trade.
Every condition is now ripe for the
United States TO take prompt and decisive
action. The disturbances during the past
few years among the powers of Central
and South America and the West Indies
serve TO show that the unexpected may
happen at any moment in that part Of
the globe, and that international rela-
lions may be entirely changed within
a few years more. There should be no
pos tponement Of such action by the gen
eraI government as will insure the speedy
completion Of the great canal
1t would be quite beyond the bounds Of
reason for congressman at Washington to
waste their time in the pyrotechnic display
Of patriotic Utterances over the quarrel
between Cubans and Spanlards. and let
the session go by without action on that
which concerns the nation a thousand
times more-the problem of the Mica
ragua canal. The commission sent to the
isthmus has reported. In that report it
is shown that the statement made a year
ago that no canal across the isthmus was
practicable is altogether a misrepresenta-
ton. While the report puts the esti-
mate Of cost at something near Sl35.OOO,-
600 and recommends several changes Of
the plan. it does not seem wise for con-
gress to let tho matter rest there.
The Nicaragua canal should be a very
live question in the present congress.

A LeveI-Hendcd Wnge-Enrncr.

Mr.. Zach Martin, a conductor on the At
lanta and West Point railroad. shows. it
seems to us. a fun measure of common
sense in the views he expresses on the sill
yer question in an interview in the Atlanta
Journal He says
Not only we who work for railroads. but
all ne Wage-earners in this country are
now paid I'm money as good as any i'm the
world. That is the kind of money they
want and ought to have. The free coinage
Of silver would cut the dollar almost half
in two and would not give us correspond
ing increase in the number of dollars we
receive. This has been the result of eX-
perence wherever deprecated money has
been used.
so far as the railroads are concerned
they could not double wages without doub-
ling their charges and they are so regula-
ted by law that they cannot do that Yet
our wages would have to be about doubled
to give us as much under free silver coin
The free coinage Of silver will not do
for the workingman."
Wen. we should say that unlimited silver
coinage at the ratio of 16 to l would not do
for wage workers Neither would il do for
railroads. 1t would wreck railroads, be-
cause the railroad commissioners would
not permit railroad rates to be raised The
prices of all articles needed by railroads
would be increased in proportion as the
currency was degraded. and their fixed
charges would have to be paid in gold.
which they would have to buy at a high
premium. The railroads would be wreck
ed and the wages of railroad men would
have only about half the purchasing power
they now have. In other words, the wages
of railroad men would be reduced nrettv
nearly one half. Look at the Mexican
railroads. and it will be seen at once what
would be the condition of affairs in this
country so far as railroads are concerned.
Conductor Martin is right Unlimited sill
yer coinage means very distressing state
of affairs for railroad men and all other
wage earnerS,
