WHERE 10 FIND PROSPERITY.

1--WE shall find prosperity just where
we lost it," said General Harrison in
one of his recent speeches. You lost
prosperity when you inaugurated this
democratic policy rcferring to The
tariff, and you must go back there
again; and take my word for it YOU will
find what you have lost" 4 return 10
the conditions which prevailed four
years ago will bring back the prosperity
of that time and nothing else will. This
country wants policy that will renew
industrial activity and make Il market
for labor. Debasing the currency by
In jecting more silver into it will not
make demand for the idle labor.
Probably 100000 of people are now UNI
employed or working only II part of the
time. Tie impulse given to silver min
ing by the free and unlimited coinage of
that metal would not furnish employ
ment TO per cent of the now idle peo-
pie, while the convulSion that would
certainly follow the adoption of free
coinage would greatly increase the num-
Der of unemployed. 1t is Il plain busl-
ness question which any fairly intelli-
gent man can settle for himself. A jul
dicious revision of the tariff which will
permit the mills and factories to resume
full operations will be in the interest
of the working classes and in the in
terest of the agricultural producers.
General Harrison's statement that we
shall find prosperity where we lost II is
eminently sound and sensible.

HARD, COLD FACTS.
How the Government ~ Doing some
thing for silver.
'hiladelphia Recoi


Secretary Carlisle. replying under date Of
October 3, to the queries OF a Washington
correspondent. makes this instructive state
mCnt:
"Since November l. 1898, the date of the
repeal Of the purchasing clause Of the so
called Sherman act standard dollars have
been coined in the United States to the
amount Il 1859, 49l, or more than twice
as much as was coined during the whole
period Of our history prior TO 1878"
And the coinage still goes on at the rate
OF about s2.T0O,OO0 month. These figures
make answer to the senseless cry that the
government has Disseminated against the
white metal. As a matter OF fact, not only
has It ben stoadfastly coming the bullion
in its vaults. but 1t has also been coming
into standard dollars the seignorage, or
profit which II makes from the coinage
function. and which amounted last month
alone TO 100000. The government is. there
fore, doing something for silver" right
along-all it can lawfully do. in fact, and
moro than 1t attempts to do for any other
interest But. Of course. the insatiates who
are S.astenty insisting that something
should be done for silver outside of all laws
national or economic. will not be persuaded
even by the OfIicial figures OF the utter un-
roasonabGnoss OF their position.
