1t is Working.

There is considerable talk in the
papers about the unconstitutional
ity OF the non-support law, brought
about by a Bryan and Sewall man
down in Frederick who, in bright ex-
pectation of free coinage, has declined
to support his family any longer.
He gives his economic faith very
practical turn. But this is not to be
wondered at iLasmuch as he is evident
ly man who is also in favor of over
turning the Constitution and thus do
away with that embarrassing feature of
delicate transactions called "uncon.
stitutionality."

How is This =?

Here is man writing to the JOUR-
NAL from Colorado who INDUCES this
among other Explanations
Get back from the pie. counter and give the
common people chance, or come out here
and go down in silver mine and dig out
just one dollars worth of silver, and you
will come out and halloo sixteen to one"
in no uncertain tone, and the old Allegany
hills will echo back sixteen to one"
This presents a new view Of the
value of ''16 to l." and the JOURNAL
respects it. For if it takes one dollars
worth of work and exposure to get out
one dollars worth of silver, it is GER
tain the silver miner ought to get
considerable part of that dollar.
But here comes along an item from
the Elkins CIV. Va) Mter-Mountoin
which confuses that view:
Almost every one who has travelled the B.
& o. railroad, knows Capt. r. A. French,
who fol many years was supervisor Of the
second division. He is gentleman whose
integrity is beyond question, and whose
judgment is sound. The captain took trip
to Mexico not long ago, and relates that he
took ten dollar treasury note of the United
States to bank to have it changed into
Mexico silver. For it he received twenty
silver dollars. Why? Because Mexico has
free silver, and consequently fifty-cent
dollar.
Now the question is-dld the poor
miner who dug out one of those
Mexican dollars dig so cents worth of
silver, or one dollars worth ?

Bad lfTrue.

The Baltimore Neaos has learned
that
Alegany county coal miners are said to be
favorable to free silver.
The Nems has probably heard this of
a few who, like some farmers, are al
ways in favor of almost any kind of
an insolvent law.
When the good miners consider,
however, that artificial prices for liv-
ing on the one hand and for labor on
the other will compel them to dig just
as much coal in "the sweet bye-and-
bye' for barrel of flour as now, they
will at the critical moment "let we'll
enough alone"
A law that establishes peanuts on
parity with potatoes might fool them
for an hour or two, but hardly until
election day.
A Mistake.
Captain Sheridan had to be turned down
and Inundated at Chicago because he hasn't
gone crazy on free silver. There are few
thousand democrats in West Virginia who
share Captain Sheridan's views ON the money
question. If one of their way of thinking
must be treated as he has been, they will
understand how to resent the treatment
Cumberland Aews.
The NeuS has been wrongly IN
formed.
Capt. Sheridan was not "turned
down" nor illuminated"
On the contrary, he was probably
the only sound money member OF the
National Committee representing a
silver State that could have retained
his place on that committee.
This was evidenced in great part by
the vote of his State on the motion to
repudiate his preference for Hill for
temporary chairman. He was sus-
tanned by poll Of 10 too.
The captain has every reason to be
prouder than ever of his standing as
democrat. He was one Of the precious
few who did not crook the knee to the
Baalish sentiment of free coinage-a
course so open and frank that even
"the heathen," blind enough now to
show down. even "to wood and stone,'
honored him for his outspoken and
fearless honesty.

Two Conclusive Paragraphs.

In his book, "Gold or Silver"
Marcus A. Miller. of Washington, d.
c., explains why business is dull. He
says:
If YOU were manufacturing goods that sold
by the yard and there was some discussion
about the future length of the yardstick, as
Stunning that you would have to sell the new
yard at the same price. would you not stop
until you found out how long it was going to
be? This is just what our people are doing
The length of the yardstlck is established, as
is also the number of units in the dozen, ETC.,
but they don't know how "long" our future
dollar is to be.
The silverites, however, attribute
hard times to "the crime of 1873" To
this he replies :
If you think mistake was made in 1873
by the United States, and about that time by
the whole civilized world, don't be hasty
now, weigh the matter carefully, consider all
sides, and be sure you do not make worse
mistake in 1885, If demonstration of silver
in 1878 is responsible for the troubles since
1893 ought we not to credit the good times
since 1878 and up to 1893 to the same one
cause?
That is sumner.
Because the philosophy which can
prove that good times can exist for
long periods under the auspices of an
economic crime OF national proper
tons must be very funny system OF
fundamental causes and laws.
AS matter of fact, if there is one
special thing that is not the cause of
the current industrial dizziness it is
the so-called "crime of 1872
