The other day in a Back Bay car there
was an empty seat beside a young lady,
evidently of that much-discussed class,
but who gave no outward appearance OF
it. To be sure, she had slightly pro-
truding forehead and wore gold-bowed
eyeglasses, but there was no azurc-blue
halo visible nor was she in any degree
prim. A young gentleman, evidently
a stranger in town, was about to take
the empty seat, when the car gave sud
den start, causing him to crowd the lady.
Touching his hat, he politely begged
her pardon. With slight inclination
of her head she replied:

expression on that young mans counte-

look came into his eyes, as drawing a

and murmured: THANK you," but he
was manifestly in terror during the bal
ance of the ride.

TO RESTORE SILVER.
This Country Must Act Upon Its Own
Responsibility.

This Country Must Act Upon Its own
Responsibility.
The so-called "silver men, in the
United States have no desire to block
the way to just and proper 1nteEna-
tional agreement for the restoration OF
bimetallism. If the monetary system
known by that name is good one, or
If it be better than gold monometalhsm,
it follows, as of course, that it cannot
become bad thing if procured by inter-
national agreement.
But we do not believe that such an
agreement with the leading commercial
nations is within the scope of reason
able probability under existing condi-
tions. The two nations whose concur
renee is deemed essential are England
and Germany. The 1nacial policy OF
both count tries is absolutely controlled
by the creditor classes. 1t is true that
the best economic thought of Europe,
both in England and upon the contl-
nent, is in favor of bimetallism. But
this economic thought is not the con-
trolling force in European politics.
While the great arguments in favor OF
bimetallisIn are unanswered, and will
remain unanswered, it is not apparent
that any progress has been made toward
its establishment. In truth, the ten
denotes seem to be the other way. The
reason is perfectly plain. The moneyed
men, who constitute the worlds great
creditors, are benefited by the appre-
eiation Of money. 1t enables them to
collect their pay in money more valu-
able Il. e.. of greater purchasing power
| than that which they loaned. Now and
| then we find a man whose generous in
| stinets lead him to surrender o Pc
cuniary advantage. But such men are
| few, and, as rule, they do not belong.
| to the class of professional money lend
ers. The latter are altogether insen-
| sible to argument based upon moral
and equitable considerations II those
considerations are opposed to their in
terests. When dealing with the money
lenders themselves argument in favor
Of charging the money volume is sim
ply wasted.
These same classes are all powerful
in shaping the financial policy OF their
respective governments. There IS no
form Of wealth SO potential as ready
money. We know something Of it's pow
er in our own politics The banker
controls the business man. the busi-
ness man controls his employees, and to-
] gether they, in large measure, control
the elections. In Europe, where uni
versal suffrage is unknown, where the
governments are either practically in
the hands of single man or select
few, it necessarily follows that the dis
tinctively creditor classes" constitute
a relatively greater "power" than they
do here. They not only influence the
elections in countries where elections
are held. but they influence the leading
statesmen and, in large measure, die
tate their policy National Bimetallist

A Case OF Government by the money
Power.

Power.
The people last fall voted FOR currency
reform, and they looked for and ex-
peeted it, until they were given to uns
derstand that the republican campaign
promises were only a feature of sort
of bunco game. A great number or
voters supported the republican cand1-
date for the presidency under the as
surance that his election would promotAs
the interests of the binetallic cause.
Those voters also were fooled, although
the president has made a show of carry
ing out the pledge of the ST. Louis plat
form. We are not to have any currency
reform; we are not to have q bimetallic
policy. We are to have only tariff OF 4
high brand. High tariff has long been
an article of republican faith, and the
leaders would like TO put another robber
measure on the statute book, SO that II
it should happen to just antedate the
return of prosperity, pure republican
| policy would be credited with having
| brought good times. The New York
Press Washington correspondent thus
explains the failure of currency iegls-
lation to materialize:
Leading republicans know that II the
house should pass a bill reforming the
| currency or to permit pooling or any tegss-
lation Objectionable to the silver combine
| in the senate the tariff bill would be made
the object of their revenge.
| 1.-THE activity of the house In thrustihg
| upon the senate corporation or financial
| legislation instantly would relSindle with
| added fire all the animosities of the cam
| paign, and the silver question would jump
/ to the front. There would be endless de-
j bate, and the result would be the fafi-
ure of everything which Is earnestly de-
/ sired Above all issues the republican
managers intend to keep the tariff for
| ward. =.
There's the whole secret. The repub-
lican party does not want to take any
| orders from the people. 1t proposes to
show them that it knows better than
they do what they want, and while
there is something desperate aboutthis
bluff, it will work well If the country
be favored with that prosperity, which,
it is widely believed, will not return
until something is done to relieve the
stringency that is caused by faulty
currency system. That is. republican
defiance of the will Of the people will
go down with the people if it shall prove
to be a success, but the chances for suc-.
cess are SO slender that the republican
leaders may well pause before proceed
ing to the length of establishing a.
/ policy of robbery instead of one Of re-
lief. They have no notion of pausing.

TRUE DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES.
Grover CleveIand's Anti-Democratfc
Position.

Grover Cleveiamd's Anti-DemOcratic
Position.
In setting forth what true democracy
is Mr. Cleveland says that above all
things it .'insists that the money OF the
people should be sound and stable,
neither shriveling in purchasing power
in the hands Of the POOR, nor by its l1,-
certain value driving enterprise and
productive energy into hiding" Thisi
true, as far as it goes. Democracy,
above all things, insists that the money
by means of which the people make
their changes shall not appreciate in
value to such an extent as to double
their debts-to such an extent as to
cause the products of their labor to
shriye1 and shrink in value in their
hands until they are unable to buy
enough money with them to pay their
debts and taxes. Democracy insists that
it is far better for the prosperity OF the
country for the purchasing power OF
money to "shrivel" than it is for the
purchasing power of the products OF the
peoples labor to shrink.
We have seen what an unstable and
unsound dollar has done for the people
even during Mr. Cleyeland's administers
ton. 1t has resulted in the prostration
OF trade, the paralysis of business and
the destruction Of millions of values.
all because the value of the unsound
and unstable dollar has been increasing
in purchasing power, while the prod
ucts Of the peoples labor have been de-
creasing in price Democracy Is afy fair
to the debtor and the producer as II Isl
to the owners of capital loaned or i'm
vested. Its whole mission is one Of JUS
tee. It is not true that a rise in gem
eral prices to the level OF 1873 would
work injustice to any class. Those who
are protTting by the shrinkage in the
debt-paying and purchasing power OF
the products of human labor have no
right to such an advantage, for it is an
advantage that works Overwhelming
injustice to the people, and, indeed. 70
all classes
We are very glad that Mr.. Cleveland
made his speech. For the first time i1l
his public career he takes his true posi-
ton; for even through the fog in which
| his ideas are enveloped the people can
see that he has no sympathy whatever
with the fundamental principles Of de-
mocracy. He may not be q republican,
but he is an anti-democrat. Hisassoeiar
tions and his sympathies are all with

Business on the Pecos Valley road
shows no abatement, says the Eddy Argus.
Since the report made last week $50 cars
of stock have been handled. Most of the
stock was sent out by the same outfits
named last week, they punching their
shipments, the objective point being
Kansas City. 1t is quite unusual to see
loaded stock trains going north and south
at the same time, bat that is the condition
on the valley road just now. Twenty-Five
cars of graded stock are being shipped in
by Captain James of Roswell. In addi-
tion to the stock business about 13 cars
of beets are now being handled daily
ten from the lower valley and three from
the upper. As result of all this the
extra list has been transformed into q
regular, and crews and rolling stock have
been worked to the utmost limit.
