senator DAILY and .he SILVER craze


Senator DAILY and the silver Craze
The Philadelphia Press prints a brief
despatch from Trentons this morning IN
which it says Senator w. Z. DAILY Of this
cago Convention, is wavering on free sill
yer. This has been rumored since the
Senator's return from the West. and we
believe there is no doubt but he was
greatly impressed by the display of feel
ing in favor of the white metal which
he among Westerners of all
parties. That Senator DAILY may have
been influenced by this to think the
whole subject over again may be true.
But we do not believe that thinking it
over means that he will go over into the
silver ranks, or anything like it. On the
contrary. we believe that the more he
thinks about it, the more plainly he will
see that free coinage is immoral, and
ruinous; that it is destructive not only
of our credit and fair fame, all over the
earth, but of also of the very founda-
tions upon which rests, whether
at home OF abroad.
The free silver question is not really a
hard one to understand. 1t is a proposal
to drive out of the country all the gold
coin now in it, and to reduce the value
of all the remaining currency, and of all
property depending upon currency for
liquidation about one-half. The frightful
upheaval involved in this operation is
only the beginning of the disaster. When
the immediate results of that cataclysm
have passed. we will remain Invested of
all aid from foreign capital, and there
actual cash, on which we can do bust
ness in any country in the world.
Credit will be destroyed or at least
shaken to a deadly degree even in our
domestic markets, for we will no longer
possess a stable currency, and all conf
dence in governmental protection of the
currency will be lost. Thus, operations
involving the lapse of any considerable
period will only be conducted at enormous
premiums, commensurate with the risks
which the capitalists run. Enterprise
will be impossible and progress will be
at an end. h is not superstitious fore
boding; it is mathematical certainty. 1t
is not speculation: there is history to
prove it.
The glowing promises of the silver fan
atics are even stranger contradictions of
reason than the fallacies of protection.
They speak of the enhancement of value
in property through free coinage, falling
to see that the enhancement is only of
price measured in a debased currency.
They talk of increase of wages, forget
ting that 81 a day is no more to a work
ingman when it costs 81 a day to live
than is 81 a day when he can live on
that sum. They talk Of stimulation of in
dustry. How is it to be stimulated when
nobody who has money will risk it, when
the money which will come back to
him in twelve months may only have half
the value of what he pays out.
With the coinage of silver restricted
and finally stopped altogether, the value
of the metal has been steadily depre-
slated year after year by o-verproduction.

COIORED RAPTISTS.

Bastrop, Tex, Nov. 2S.-(Special.)--
The fourth and final days session of the
executive board of st. Johns associa-
ton was called to order at 1890 a. m.
by Vice President Clark
Rev. A. II. Shackes read opening
Scripture and offered prayer.
Owing TO the extreme coldness of the
weather which has been on hand for
twenty-four hours, the members of the
board were little slow in getting in,
but by II o'clock all were on hand. Wis
itors were not plentiful at all in the fore
noon, but came in good crowds during
the evening. The minutes of last SEES
sion were read and adopted.
The missionary, Rev. A. r. Shackles,
was called to report; an epitome of which
were as follows: For the three months
just ended miles Travelled, 3S1; services
preached, 81; lectures, 81; days labored,
"A; amount collected on salary, $39.75;
on church building fund, $64.G0; total col
lection. S104.35; balance due missionary
on salary, $685..
Sister b. Beard of Buda appeared be.
fore the board in the interest of the mis-
sion station at Buda. Complaint was
made to the effect that the district mis-
sonary had not visited the station since
the month of June and that the people
were becoming dull on account of hear

CALLERS AT CANTON

Canton, o., Nov. 30.-Lunch at the Nc
Kinley home today was delayed until the
arrival of Gen. Porter of New York. Gen.
Porter and Senator Lodge were guests
at the meal The stream of visitors which
began early in the morning continued
during the afternoon, and this was one
of the busiest days that Mr.. Mckinley
has experienced. Aside from members
of congress and others there was an UNI
usually large number of people who made
purely social calls to pay their respects,
and many entire strangers who merely
called TO shake hands.
During the afternoon Mr.. T. NJ. JAM
ieson, national committeeman from H.
linois, called. To the Associated Press
representative he said:
The call was Il social one. There is
no significance in my coming here"
Congressman Sheldon of Michigan,
Congressman Burton of Ohio, DIR. Henry
w. Kitchen of Cleveland were among
the callers during the afternoon.
Senator Lodge, when seen at the sta
ton, declined to discuss the object of his
call or the proba blity of action in con-
greSs.

The power and influence of the pulpit
are often spoken of, but, after all, it is
the power and influence of the occupant
Of the pulpit in private and public life
that give force to the sermons from the
pulpit. The minister who illustrates by
his every day life and his associations
with his fellow men the gentleness and
meekness of the Master is the one who
has the power in the pulpit But, on
the other hand, il minister of the Cos
Del il known as harsh and unjust and
passionate he has no force in the pulpit.
In fact, he is not an honor to his cloth
and his commission to preach the Cos
Del does not bear the sign manual of the
Master. There is no set of men who
ought to be more exemplary than the
ministers of the Gospel, for the church
is held responsible for their manner of
life. A minister may be Il poor preach
er, but if his character is gentle, loving
and forgiving he does more good than
the most eloquent preacher. But if n
man is a poor preacher and also an i'll
natured and unjust citizen, he is unwor-
thy of the cloth he wears and II weight
to the church he pretends to represent

unite natural that they should resort to
any measures that they believed would
cripple the power of capital to snatch
from them the bigger half of the loaf.
Senator Hoar intimates very broadly
that but for the dishonest practices of
New England capitalists, financial falla-
cies would not have become so general III
the south and west. We trust his own
people will take his advice and re-
establish trade relations with the south

implies has heretofore been used by New

supernumeraries are to be Topped off and
that is not a pleasant thing to do when
one holding position is generally back
ed by congressional influence. Any cut
in government expenditures effects some
one and is met by strong opposition.
But when it becomes an absolute neces-
sity members of congress ought rather
to consider their duty than the infiuen-
ces against the discharge of their plain
duties If, however, the revenue arising
from the Wilson-Gorman tariff supple
mented by internal revenue is not suf-
get it, and the first and best way. es-
pecially under the present conditions of
an interregnum between this and the
new administration and new congress
ed would only be temporary, would be
to levy an additional tariff of 81 q bar
rel on beer which the consumer would
not feel, and which the manufacturer
could well afford. and slight tariff on
coffee and sugar.
Any tariff bill attempting to remodel
on the whole the Wilson bill at this ses-
sion of congress would be only n tenn
porary make-shft, and would disturb
business too much to warrant its adop-
ton. Congressman Dingley does not ex-
pect his own bill to come up before this
congress, nor is the sentiment of the
leaders of the republican party favor
able to protective tariff at any time
now or hereafter. 1t is quite natural
that Mr.. Mckinley should have n linger-
ing pride in the highly protective tariff
law, known by his name, and which
brought him SO prominently before the
country. But Mr.. Mckinley should re-
call the anomalous conditions and en-
vironments of his prominence on account
that it was overwhelmingly pronounced
against in two popular elections. 1t made
him famous and shining mark for the
republican nomination for the presidency,
but at the same time sunk itself into
obloquy by its unpopularity. Mr. Nc
Kinley can now well afford not to attri-
butte his nomination to that bill, but to
his otherwise availability. The presi-
dent of the United States does not have
to rest his fame upon an obsolete tariff
bill. 1t does not appear from indications
that the present congress will pass
tariff bill of any kind as whole, and it
is probable that the present congress
will resort to some temporary expedient,
such as We have suggested, of tax on
beer, coffee and sugar to tide the govern
ment over to the next admnistra ton.

THE sTORMING OF THE ALAMO

THE STORMING OF THE ALAMO.
'I'he Alamo" was the grandest altar
upon which devoted heroes ever offered
their life blood sacrifice to the indie
pendence of Texas. The little band Of
heroes that held the old fort to the last
moment willingly and nobly gave up their
lives that Gen. Sam Houston might have
time to gather together an army of Tex
ans and meet Santa Anna for the strug-
gle for a separate nationality. 1t is n
lesson Of patriotism that will echo down
the ages and in song and story will kin
die the flames of patriotism in the hearts
Of the oppressed nations of the earth.
This grandest scene in all history will
be celebrated by the revival of the picture
in mimic warfare in the city made sacred
by the blood of Travis, Crockett, Bowie
and other comrades in arms.
The Confederate veterans have ar
ranged through committee of their COM
rades, Mai Henry Il. Shelley and Capt.
Joe. G. Booth Of this city, to inaugurate
on the 18th and 18th of this month q
magnificent military carnival, the main
feature of which will be the storming
Of the Alamo and its defense. The par
ticipants in this exciting military event
will be the United States troops at Fort
Sam Houston, the militia of the state
Of Texas and the native Mexican rangers
with the survivors Of the battle of SaI
Jacinto as honorary guests in the pa
rade. The scene will be made worthy OF
the event it commentaries and will af
ford the spectator a fair illustration Of
the battlefield and actual war, while the
utmost safety will be afforded the mos
timid. The railroads have LIBERAL,
given low rates from all parts Of thu
state and it is expected on these two days
that vast concourse of the citizens O
Texas will witness the scene. We trus

Boston, Mass. Nov. 30.-A public meet
ing was held at the Trinity church to-
night in the interest of Berea college,
Kentucky, which is seriously embarrass-

ers of the evening were Il. Winchester
Donald, DID,, pastor of Trinity church;
VIM. Goodel Frost, ID. D., president of
the Berea college, and Theodore ROose-
welt, chairman of the police commission
of New York.
DR.. Donald told in what degree igno-
rance is menace to the country and said
SO long as we elect our president by pop
ular suffrage we can not afford, on purely
economic grounds, to deprive a class of
people of educational advantages.
DR.. Frost spoke of the estrangement
of the north and south today and of the
early history of Berea college and said
that at present there were 100 students
from the north.
