The Future Of Politics.

EDITOR ADVOoATE:-In regard to
the future Of politics, the question of
silver demonstration can scarcely be
relied upon as probably to be the sole
question or even the one uppermost In
the public mind, for 1t furnishes rather
too slight and narrow a base on which
to found party, anyway, and, besides,
that issue is likely to be partially mod.
ided before the next campaign comes
around. But kindred question to
that Of silver arises to confront us,
that Of what kind of paper substitutes
for money we are to have hereafter
whether bank currency costing the
people millions Of dollars year to Sc
cure 1t, or greenbacks furnished to
hand, as Mr.. Lincoln furnished them,
without interest, and 80 fruCtifyinR
every field Of labor. The favored few
who furnish the bank currency will,
Of course, dght for continuation of
their privilege, and that will raise an
issue to be settled by the jury of the
country. And closely connected with
this Is the bonding system which has
been engrsfted on our governmental
policy; and the question srises whether
that is to be carried any further or
whether 1t is to be abandoned before
1t brings US to the same condition it
has the people Of Europe. And par.
italy allied to this is the question of
an income tax by which wealth shall
be made to pay for It's own protection,
or whether, as now, labor and produc.
tion shall defray the expenses Of our
several governments to the tune Of q
thousand million of dollars year.
This alone is enough to engender hard
times and keep the people poor. And
over all is the dark cloud of trusts and
combined monopolies that shrouds the
heavens and threatens q storm that
will engross the public attention at the
expense of every other consideration,
and indeed Of everything else, for upon
It depends not merely whether we are
to continue citizens and electors 10 the
land, but serfs and dependents of
classes ruling over and controlling US,
as In the Old World. Therefore, the
public thought can't be confined to the
one issue of silver, as too many other
grievances exist to agitate and oppress
the masses Of our people.

Has OutlLYed Its Usefulness.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-I used to be a
Republican, and therefore it is with pro-
found regret and sorrow that am COM
PEELED to admit that the grand old party
has not only outliVed it's usefulness, but
it's seLse Of self-respect, and is fast sp-
preaching senility with all it's infirmitles,
How else can its shifting and vaScillsting
course on every public measure that
arises, be accounted for and explained?
1t has no longer any apparent regard for
consistency Of conduct, but advocates
measure or line of policy at one election
only to denounce and repudiate it at the
next; and without any hesitation or
reasonable explanation orders it's Rdher-
ents to right-about-face at the word Of
command.
But little time since they were ultra
prohibitionists-so rabid that in the
pursuits of their chimers they enacted
statutes worthy Of the despotism Of
Russia. But now all is changed; the
tables are turned and the order has gone
forth to repudiate the whole thing. At
first, every member Of the party had to
square himself with that dogms-now,
at the word Of command, he must square
himself against it. Two years ago the
party fought its battle as the champion
Of the free coinage Of silver on an equal
ity with gold, and denounced Cleveland
and his party as recreant to that idea;
and Blue and Morrill,, as all will Hemem.
Der, protested their devotion to the
cause in letters and speeches throughout
the State. This year they were on
exactly the opposite tack, and threw all
their protestations to the winds, as so
much idle breath.
And thus they flop from one position
to another, with the facility of an aero
bat, and without any regard to consist
ency or sense Of shame. Anything to
carry the election and secure the offices
is evidently their motto; and Trey don't
allow such trivialities as false pretenses,
deception and fraud to stand between
them and their object, but seize and
work them for all there is out.
And now see they are taking ground
against a constitutional convention for
this State, although they have hereto
fore been emphatically for it; and Gov
ernOr Morrill, in his message distinctly
voiced the sentiment Of his party GCr ID,

Proposed Duty on Anthracite Coal.

A movement Ia on foot to induce Con-
gress to levy duty on anthracite coal.
1t is alleged that since 1870, when thlS
class Os coal was put on the free lIst,
large quantities Of it have been i'm.
ported into the country az San Fran
cisco, and that the quantity is increaS-
Ing annually. The following figures
are given to show the imports OF an
thraclte coal during the last ten years:
The advocate., 1897-02-03

Mr.. j. w. Harrison Of San Fran
cisco ia Of the opinion that there is
immediate need of a duty on foreign
coal. Not that the consumers of coal
are complaining of the low price Of
coal, for it appears from Mr.. Hsrri-
sons letter that contracts made In
1895 for the delivery of Swansea an
thrsClte at San Francisco, 1915 to
$3.50 per long ton. No. The trouble
Is not with the consumers. The Phil
sdelphia Inquirer tells where the de-
mand for the duty came from. That
journal says the Pennsylvania miners
cannot compete against these figures
and there does not appear to be any
reason why Swansea anthracite should
not shortly make ita appearance In the
markets Of New York aud Boston.
Here is one instance where the thing
called protection is cruelty oppressive.
Because the Pennsylvania coal COM
bine cannot deliver coal to the people
Of California as low as the miners OF
Wales can, therefore the price of coal
must be raised to the people of the
whole country by as much as will be
necessary to cover the difference be-
tween the price Of Welsh coal and
Pennsylvania coal at San Francisco.
Can anybody assign q good reason
why such an outrage should be perpe-
trstedP
The Inquirer, Of course, defends the
proposition, and puts its defense on
patriotic grounds. 1t says the absence
Of duty on anthracite ls rObbing the
government Of the duty Of 40 cents per
ton on imported bituminous coal, since
the latter is being driven out of the
Western coast market by the Swansea
anthracite.
Taking that view oOf the case, 1t
would seem that the Inquirer would
itself appeal directly to Congress; but
instead 1t refers the matter to the
miners of Pennsylvania. 1t says "the
subject Ia one which the miners Of
Pennsylvania should press upon the
attention Of their Representatives In
Congress. The place to guard against
the loss Of their markets is In the tariff
law to be passed by the first Mckinley
Congress. Before another Congress
can meet 1t is altogether possible that
in the absence of duty on anthracite
the Eastern coast markets may wit

How an Owl Saved q Train,

Owls are by common consent adj
judged to be birds Of i'll omen, but En-
gineer Ned Barnett Ct the Santa Fe
says he happens to know that they are
anything but that and tells the follow
ing story to prove his assertions:
One morning as the east bound over
land was pulling through the mountains
west Of here, Barnett's engine doing
the work, a big horn beaked owl dash
ed against the front window Of the cab
with such force as to break the win
dow, the bird itself dropping dead at
the engineers feet. Though Barnett is
not, generally speaking, a superstitious
man, this seemed SO singular an occur
renee that he stopped the train and sent
o brakeman ahead to see if the way was
clear. Strange to relate, the brakeman
O returned. reporting a landslide
across the track in the mountain pass
about 100 yards ahead. Hands were
sent at once to clear the track, end in
removing the debris they found another
owl, no doubt mate to the first, caught
in the crotch Of an uprooted tree, crush
ed to death in the fall.
Barnett had both owls stuffed, and
the two now adorn his cab, always in
surfing him good luck, he says. --Phila-
delphia Times.
