TIE proposal of Eugene V. Debs, Of
American Railway Union fame. to es-
tablish sOcialistic colony In the state
OF Washington is beautiful IN theory.
but il put into practice would result in
complete failure and extreme suffering
among the deluded followers OF their
visionary leader. Debs proposes to re-
cruit q large colony from the rank
OF the unemployed city mechanics and
laborers. Colonies Of this sort are IN
desirable for a number Of reasons: The
people who have spent most of their
lives in cities are, by reason of environ
lnenis, habits and emplOyments, wholly
unified to make a success Of farming in
u new country. And when you add to
these reasons the fact that Debs pro-
poses to make the colony a Bellamy
institution, the certainty OF failure is
apparent to all who have given the
matter any thought.

THK price OF silver bullion continues
to tall, having within the past few days
reached the lowest point ever touched
except during the panic of 1894. The
fact that = hall dozen silver countries
have, within a comparatively short
time, abandoned the silver standard.
and that three of its most prominent
supporters have taken this action within
the past few weeks, has been
one OF the causes Of this de-
preston, and the action Of these eoun
tries is due to the fact that the United
States has gone TO the single gold stand
ard. 1t shows the great influence Of
this government in the monetary poll
cies OF other nations and is an arxumen,
IN favor Of the claim that we can
maintain double standard of gold and
