II everybody was flush of money, and
did not care for the quarters and the
ten-cent pieces: but these merchants
have sustained policies which have re-
duce6 the prices Of the farmers produce,
and they must not complain If sheer
necessity compels their customers to deal
elsewhere, to save a little money But
they do complain; they say that the
postof1ces Of the small towns are send
ing out every month postal orders for
thousands OF dollars worth of goods,
ordered from the supply houses Of Min
neapolis and st. Pahi,, which, they say.
ought to have been bought at home. The
remedy is for the merchants to reduce
prices to point that they will keep all
this trade at home. Why not? Rents
are cheaper. help is cheaper, living is
cheaper, In the country than In the
city.
The mercantile class must either help
give the people Old-fashioned prosperity,
such as we had, at the close of the war,
when each person, On the average, had
$67.25 of the circulating medium, or
they must suffer: with the rest. They
must not support policies which give the
people per capita of but 1884 instead
Of $67.25, and then expect their impov-
erished customers to- give more for their
goods than they tca4 get them for else
where. Free trade and farmers rights
is the demand Of the hour.
This is the whole controversy in a
nutshell.

There is every reason why the hard
money Democrats of the Cleveland
persuasion should throw discredit up
on the attempt to secure an interna-
tional agreement upon bimetallism.
There are two reasons for this; first,
it would discredit Mr.. Mckinley him
self with the country to which he has
pledged his efforts to secure such an
agreement; second, if successful, it
will unite the Republican ranks and
switch many Democrats from the
Democratic party in the coming con-
tests for national supremacy. With
bimetalism on an international agree
ment established, the hopes of the
Democratic party for the recovery of
the government into their incompetent
hands will be forever lost. Mr.. Nc
Kinley is not only redeeming his pied
ges and the pledges of the party in all
that he says and does in the direction
of this movement, but he is building
wide and deep for Democratic defeat
in the future.

1t is about time that there was free
dom of speech in the United States
on the Cuban question. The present
tendency on the part of certain adj
miniStratiOn defenders is to cry "Ha-
voc and red war on every occasion
that voice is raised in behalf Of
down trOdden and butChered Cuba.
The attempt is not more despisable
than the spirit that would sacrifice ev-
erything to SO-called peace measures.
The curse of old was pronounced up
on those who cried Peace! Peace!
when there was no peace, and it is the
same now. 1t is not war that the
United States wants, but n recogni-
ton by Spain of the rights of common
humanity in the case of Cuba. The
common decency of this country
should compel that so obvious a thing
should be admitted. United States
cannot hold her peace without dis.
honor 1t is also certain that her hon.
or is not consulted by the state de,
partment, nor the wishes of the peo
pie.

The conspiracy that the state de-
partment, aided and abetted by the
president of the United States, has en-
tered in to to fasten the yoke of Spain
securely upon the neck OF Cuba, should
be severely rebuked in Congress. 1t
is new role that for this country,
to act as the whipper in of tyranny,
and every honorable American citizen
with the least saprk of national pride
will resent it. What these United
States have done that they should be
thus brought into disrepute no one
can tell, but it does seem that the
country has dropped into slough of
the most disreputable character.
When the president of the republic
uses his vast powers to crush the ris-
ings of liberty loving people in an ad-
jacent country it is time for the Ma.
tional Congress to inquire by what
authority he does it.

WoRK-BOY's; NIGHT SCHOOL.

/ New Orleans States has done a good
practical thing in opening subscrip-
ion for Il free school at night, for the
working boys of THAI city. No words
are needed to commend the wisdom
and practical philantrophy of that
movement, and it is gratifying to note
hat the subscription to that free
school fund is piling up quite satsifae-
torily. This is a work in the right
direction, ard one that might be ad-
yantageously followed elsewhere.
There are half n dozen cities in Texas
where such school would be well pa
tronhed, once it was established, and
the good it would accomplish is meal
culable. This is not a charity. 1t is
needed opportunity for study, that
the children of the poor are justly en-
titled to-, and which is furnished by
private catpital there being no public
provision therefor. This suggests
that it would be a splendid thing for
the school boards of the larger cities
in Texas TO take up this idea, and in
stead of leaving such a schol to the
tender mercics of those inclined to aid
in such a work provide for it in the
regular course of GchooT expenses
There is no gainsaying the need of
such a schO"t. Such schools are main
tanned in mal..T of the larger cities of
the north, and they are well attend
ed, fitting thousands of children, who
would otherwise be without the COM
mOnest advantages of school training,
for better work and more renumera-
tive than they could POSSIBLY under
take without such training. Here
in San Antonio it might at present be
necessary to make provision for such
schools, for the school treasury is not
provided With the funds. 1t would
not require n great sum to start such
a school, and the experiment is well
worth making. There are scores of
boys in this city from II or IA years of
age and upward who would gladly
avail themselves cf the advantages
such a school would open to them.
Many of these boys have found out
the need of this practical education
in figures, penmanship, English con-
struction, geography, etc, and would
apply themselves with studiousness
that would soon show results. Not
only so, as the means of saving many
boys from the night school of the
streets it would pay largely on what
ever investment might be made.
