UnanswerabIe Points.

On Wednesday evening Mr.. w
ii. Harvey, the author of the well
known elementary work on money
known as Coins Financial
School, delivered a thoughtful and
clearly expressed address at Music
Hall, in Louisville. The following
passage illustrates Mr.. IIarvey's
analytic style and presents some
points which no advocate of the
single gold standard, not even Mr.
Carlisle or Secretary Gage, has ever
attempted to answer:
"Let me tell you what would
have happened if free silver pres
ident and congress had been elected
Inside of the period between the
day of election and March 4 ap
proximately 100000 of men
would have gone to the mountains
to work for God almighty, and thai
many would have been taken away
from the overcrowded labor market
and given all something to do.
Back from these mountains would
have come plenty of silver, with its
rising prices. Then would the
guillotine have been removed
With rising prices farmers land and
products would be in demand
People in the crowded cities would
have gone to the farms and worked
successfully for themselves. Why
would this have happened? Be
cause the demand for farm products
would have drawn them there.
Then instead of strikes and riots,
tramps and paupers, the laborers
could have said to their employers !:
''How much will you pay us?"
Within six months of the election
OF Bryan and free coinage congress
there would have been prosperity.
As property fell with silver when
demonetized, so it would have risen
il restored to standard. With
these views, is there any wonder
that you hear of silver turning up
again as the issue In 1900? We
are bound to bring it up, knowing
what is in the balance.
They say that the free coinage of
silver is in the interests of the silver
bullion owners. But if that is so
is not the free coinage of gold in
he interest Of the gold bullion own
ers? 1t is society that is benefited
Dy proper adjustment of the mon

you get any of the silver? The

Here is the republican remedy
for the currency famine: First ap-
point international commissioners
to iunket over Europe-more sala-
ries and heavy expenses. Next ap-
point a monetary commission to
monkey with the business at home
more salaries and heavy expenses.
That is the republican remedy
Post Dispatch.
That is only the apparent plan of
the republican managers. They do
not propose to make any change in
the present gold standard. All
movements in any other direction
are simply made to blind the people
and to fool" them once more, but.
as Mr.. Lincoln once remarked,
"You can't fool all the people all
the time" The time has now come
when the republican managers can
not "fool the people any longer"
Mr.. Wanamaker sees it, but Mr..
Gage thinks there is yet time to be-
fog them once again. He will find
mistaken. Ind. Sentinel.

Louisville Dispatch, 18th.

Editor Hal A. Ellsworth, of the
Crawford county Ind. Democrat,
, paid The Dispatch office call yes
, terday. Editor Ellsworth was fresh
from the midsummer meeting of the
Indiana Democratic Editorial asso-
citation, which closed a three days'
session at Paoli, Ind, yesterday.
The association is the strongest
press organization in Indiana. The
session just closed at Paoli was a
most interesting one. The charm
ing little Hoosier town was given
over to the scribes and their families.
No official action was taken at the
meeting, it rather being in the ma
ture of a picnic than a business af-
fair.
The gathering mustered 125 men,
beIs and assembled for three days'
session, with Editor w. Bent Will
son. OF the Lafayette Journal, in the
chair, and j. G. German of the
Princeton Democrat, as secretary.
The first days session was taken up
with an informal discussion of top
les OF interest to the scribes. The
second days session was devoted
to various topics, the monetary
question occupying large portion
OF the time. The assembly voiced
its hearty support Of the Democrat
ic doctrine as enunciated in the
Chicago platform.
Yesterday the editors we're taken
in charge by citizens of Paoli, and
after excursions and drives to the
various points Of interest about the
town, the members were banqueted
in the evening. Major Simpson
and Editor J. Gil Shanklin, Of the
Courier, were the princi-
pal speakers Of the evening. After
the banquet the members dispersed,
a large number going to Nashville

Rotation In Office.

The U. S. Senate has become al
most effete, through the continu-
ance of senators in office term after
term, until they became "bosses" of
Legislation and parties. There is a
trait in human nature which is not
good for Republics, leading men
who are continued long in public
office to usurp authority not grant
ed by law, and neglect public duties
by law on the officer. For
that reason Washington declined a
third reelection as President, as il
would establish a bad precedent.
Jefferson, Monroe, Madison, Jack
son, Van Buren, and Polk insisted
on rotation in public office-even
turning out personal friends and
appointing others, that all might
enjoy the benefits, educational and
financial, of public position. Pres
ident jackson in speaking of it rid
iculed the idea that the longer a
public officer was on duty the more
efficient he became, by asking the
pertinent question: "Suppose he
should die, would the country 60 to
ruin because no one possessed bis
qualifications F."
The doctrine of rotation in office
is certainly wholesome one, and
the COURIER believes that Jackson s
administration will be ranked high
er as time passes because of his
blunt announcement "To the viz
tors belong the spoils." For this
this paper has not objected
to the removal of efficient Demo-
cratic officers by the Republican
administration-even though they
were personal friends-as was the
case of DR.. Thomas, of the South
ern Insane Hospital. A more eff
,ient man than DR.. Thomas will
not be found.
