A craze almost as unreasoning and
unreasonable, as that which frenzied
tie Raesian mob on Khodinsky plain.
appears to have possessed the people
in some sections of this country on
the subject Of silver. They really be-
lieve that the free coinage of silver
will be panacea for all of the finan-
cial ills which have befallen the peo-
pie during the disastrous Democratic
administration. Coming into power
on free silver platform with a gold
bug candidate. the Democratic party
has done all in its power to debase
silver, but now seeing the scepter
about to depart, like drowning man,
it grasps at the white metal as the
straw which will save it from utter
humiliation, and-strange to relate,
there are Republicans who appear to
be caught by such chaff.

The Washington Post insists that
if majority of the Democratic dele
gates to the Chicago Convention
shall declare that sixteen ounces of
silver are equal in value to one ounce
of gold that the minority, who know
better, must concur and support a
sixteen to one candidate. This is
not the precise argument of the Post;
but it is its substance. Now, Democ-
racy cannot be spitted and held fast
to the wall by any such utterance.
AS to matters OF principle the MAORI
ty should control party effort. As to
matters of fact there can be no sub
mission of Judgment. When a ma
jority at Chicago shall essay to con-
vert the National Convention into a

cause monetary hardening Merchants

are not wanting signs that many have the
confidence to invest and push forward as
though the dawn Of prosperity were close
at hand The quarter that has passed has
been most trying, but things would be
worse than they are but for the general
belief that better times are near.
The complete report of failures for the

shows an increase which would be surpris-
ing If political causes were not obvious.
