In the barn-yard were our mules, some

Squire Smith offered him five hum

very last thing he was took down

as good as could be, and as brave; and
I've seen him stand in the door leaning
on his cane and cheering the boys when
they marched away, and saying how ne

Well, Jerud,' l would say, suppose

And he'd answer, All right Half a

then President, called special session
of Congress to repeal the Sherman sill
yer act, after he had won his nOmina-
ton and election upon the tariff ques-
ton. He then asserted that the Sher-
man silver act was the cause of the
financial ills that had then overtaken
the country. The Republicans in Con-
gress, while not agreeing with that di-
agnOsis of the case, assisted in the re-
peal, in fact made it possible Yet the
repeal Of the Sherman silver act did
not restore confidence or put the bust
ness of the country on a prosperity
footing. The sword of free trade still
hung over the country, and though the
sword when it finally fell was found To
be badly nicked with party perfidy and
dishon0r, still the fear of several
months that keen-edged sword was
to drop upon the industries of Ameri-
ca had served its purpose. The pro-
phecy that the repeal of the Sherman
silver act would restore prosperity
done at the dictation of Grover Cleve-
land and by means of patronage shame
lessly welded by him-did not come
true. This fact gave the free silver
cause tremendous boost all over the
country, and made it even possible in
1896 to obtain votes for a free silver
candidate in every one of the Eastern
states. .-i-.,

It is announced that the Democrats
and some Of the Populists in the Sen
ate propose to delay the enactment of
a tariff bill as long as possible. Doubt
less they will do SO because they think
that such proceeding is good politics.
They are labOring to create the impress
sion that business is not improving I'M
der the present administration. In so
doing they assume that the people are
SO ignorant that they will attribute
what they may regard as a continual
ton Of business depression to the Re-
publican administration without any
change in the tariff and other revenue
laws. The Republican victory put an
end to the uncertainty regarding the
money question. AS the result mon
ey has been cheap for those who can
furnish good security, and thousands
of industries have started up, giving
larger employment to labor. This is
true of the iron industry in all its
branches. But the same tariff exists
now that caused the business depres-
sion under the last administration. In
dustries employing thousands of peo-
pie prior to the election of 1892 cannot
be started up because it is impossible
for them to regain and hold the Ameri-
can market. During the past few weeks

Should Come with Us.

From the Chicago Times-Herald:
There is much talk at the present mo-
ment about the future of the gold de-
mocracy and what action should here
after be taken by those who last year
rejected the Chicago platform because
OF its falseness to the principles Of JEFF
ferson. The question in the air is.
what are right-thinking and patriotic
democrats to do who last November
Joined with their lifelong political but
honorable foes in saving the nation
from national bankruptcy and dishon-
or! Undoubtedly many democrats ara
perplexed and hesitating. but reflection
must show that but one course is open
to them. As long as the Chicago plat
form exists as a menace to the good
order OF society and to the national
integrity. and as long as the trainers
OF that platform defiantly stand upon
II and insist on carrying out its princi-
pies, SO long must every patriot range
himself to withstand and overthrow it.
In other words, while the conditions
OF 1896 continue the duties of 1896 con-
tinue.
So thinking and believing. the gold
democrats last fall rallied to the sup
port OF the republican party. rs the
liberal unionists in England rallied at
an equally mOmentOus time to the sup
port Of the conservative party. That
alliance in England still continues and
Will continue until the question in
which it originated is finally settled
So with us. The alliance between the
gold democracy and the republican par
ty should be maintained until the con-
junct forces of populism and silverism
are utterly overthrown. 1t is needless
to say that the leaders of Organism
and Altgeldism have not yet lost their
courage. still look upon their defeat
as transient, and exultantly proclaim
their expectation of winning in the
contest of 1898 or 1900. While this at
titude Is maintained there can be but
one choice for sound money men, 1t is
not too early to speak of these things,
for the elections of 1893 will soon be
here and upon their result the future
may depend. In the event Of the presi-
dental election of 1900 being thrown
into the house of representatives. rs
were those of 1900 and 1924. the con-
gress elected in 1898 will elect the pres
ident, and majority of states decides
the election
Here, then. is where the next great
battle will be fought. in the elections
for congress next year. The import
ance, therefore. of carrying a major
ity Of the states for sound money can
not well be exaggerated.

If the driver had been communica-

The japanese commission which has
studied the conditions In Japan for the
past eighteen months as affected by
the silver standard has found that the
average cost Of eleven leading articles
necessary to life in Japan has increased
in the period between 1873 and 1884 no
less than 62 per cent, while the wages
In the country have increased but SIS
per cent. In view Of these conditions
the commission recommended the
abandonment of the silver standard,
which recommendation was promptly
and favorably acted upon by the gov
eminent. Misc" is the name of an ar
ticle of food largely used in Japan. It
is entirely Of native production and
therefore not subject to the increased
cost through depreciation of silver cur
rency which foreign articles of food
would suffer, yet the japanese commits
sion which has been studying the sill
yer question in Japan for eighteen
months past, found that misc had in
creased SO per cent in cost from 1873 to
1893. while the wages of the laboring
people who use it had increased only
80 per cent, thus showing that they
were the greatest sufferers under the

In his stirring address before The
Harlem Republican Club last night
Senator Foraker sharply reminded the
gold Democrats that the Republicans
made no pledge in the last campaign
to surrender their principles, and that
these principles would be resolutely
maintained by the Mckinley admins
tration. Not only was no such pledge,
either expressed or implied, made at
that time, but everywhere the doctrine
of protection was zealously preached by
Republicans, and nowhere more en-
phatically and repeatedly than from the
porch Of the Mckinley homestead in
Canton.
Gold Dmocrats understand this fully.
During last summer and fall they were
SO fully aware of it that their organs
loudly complained that Major McKin-
ley talked tariff too much" although
those organs were advocating General
Palmer for the Presidency. The truth
is that hundreds of thousands of DEM
Gratis cast their ballots for Major Nc
Kinley, not only in spite of his we'll
known protection principles. but on
account of them. They stood in as
much fear of continuation of a free
trade tariff as in that of an Inaugural
ton of free silver coinage. 1t was in
order to escape both evils that they
voted for the Canton statesman.-Com-

How Can We Expect Prosperity Yet9
The pledges of a speedy return to
good times to glibly made by the SPELL
binders were repeatedly deprecated by
the conservative, sober-minded element
in the Republican party. 1t was we'll
known that many of these promises
were ridiculOusly extravagant. They
never had any warrant in any of the
utterances of Major Mckinley in his
front porch" campaign.
The Republican nominee declared
that we could not hope for a return Of
the prosperity of 1892 until we had en-
acted legislation that would provide
adequate encouragement to American
industry, and that would yield enough
revenue to prevent the recurrence of
the treasury deficits. He repeated over
and over again the admonition that
we must not expect good times until
the government was put upon paying
basis. He emphasized this as a prereQui-
site to the restoration of that business
confidence which was destroyed by fall
ing revenues and the constant raid on
the gold reserve.
The government has not yet been
placed upon paying basis. Prosperity
will not come until the new tariff meas
ure has been upon the federal statute
books long enough to inaugurate a re-
vival of languishing Industries and long
enough to turn bountiful tide of rev.
enue into the government treasury

credited with giving four men bases
on balls, the only way this can be ac-
counted for is that he fooled the UNI

some more beautiful work in the field,

Keefe and Bailey did not have much

chos took first on balls, and he contin-
ued so throughout the game until he
made nine presentations. OF course
Umpire Jack may have assisted him
a little. But even when Partridge did
not get them over they violently col

ever, played a fine game in the field,
