short of a political miracle if these
Earring and incongruOus aggregations
should ever again be brought to act
together. The Populist leaders, who
have been invited to a barren feast so
far as the spoils are concerned, are
already breaking away. The silver
Republicans come trooping back to
the Protectionists corral. There are
interior evidences that it is futile to
hope to ever rally united Democra-
cy in support of Accent dollar. The
enemies of Democracy would like to
fasten upon the party the Free Silver
heresy as a permanent part OF its
creed; but the effort is a fore-doomed
failure.
The question of ratios, as Mr.. JEFF
ferson observed, is a mercantile prob
lem. 1t is a matter to be settled in
the markets, and it seems to be rap
idly approaching solution. The
politicians who fool with it will only
get their fingers burned.

Things are going against the Dem
ocracy everywhere this year Luck
nature. business conditions and the
forecasts of the prophets are all TO
discredit and confound it. The grass
hoppers have gone back on it by per
hitting the western crops to mature
without destruction. The cinch-bug,
the wheat weevil, the army worm
and even the old reliable potato bug
are pursuing an undemOcratic policy
of mastery inactivity.
The party of calamity, disorder and
free rum has encountered its most
cruel humiliation, however, in Fay
cite county, Ohio. The Democrats
out there called a county convention
to denounce Republican prosperity,
gIorify free coinage, eXalt the silver
goat of Organism and boom the
young iObborwock of Nebraska as
the true ideal of American statesman
ship. But the convention didn' /
take place. The delegates failed to
appear, and subsequent inquiry
showed that the farmers Ofthe county
were so busily engaged in gathering
their big crops of high priced wheat
that they had no time for politics.
The convention was therefore post
poned to September 4th.
Evidently the harvest fields have
conspired against the calamityites.
They have stifled the voice of the
croaker, silenced the deep-lunged
yawp of the cheap-money demagOgue
and hit the Popocratic idol squarely
between the eyes with the crushing
fact of rising values on an honest
dollar basis 1t is a bad year for the
poor old Democracy. Prosperity,
flowing from the memorable operation
of natural laws, has added the final
humiliation to the party of free
trade

One day last week the editor of THE
REPUBLICAN went on a business trip
to Eglon and surrounding country.
The farms between Oakland and Eg-
Ion show the thrifty work of their
owners and on all sides the hum of
harvesting machinery and threshers
were heard. AT Eglon we partoOk of
dinner at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. ELew1s Bush, who own one of
the prettiest places one would desire
to see. All the buildings are kept
well painted, the lawns are beautiful
and day or week could be pleasantly
spent in roaming about the farm.
The following, composed by one of
the guests of the genial host and
hostess, was handed us, with the re-
quest that it be published, which we
take pleasure in doing:
In all the charming summer resorts thro'
which we may roam,
Our thoughts are ever turning to our dear
Mountain Home"

elsewhere.

vey last Friday and Saturday.
Potato crop will be light this year,
but they will doubtless command a
much better price than they have for
long time.
We are glad to see better times
again. Even a lamb or a calf will
bring about double what they would
year ago.
For more than four years we have
had to endure and suffer in common
with our Democratic friends, under a
Democratic administration; now we
invite and welcome them to better
times under Republican rule. We
are also glad to welcome so many of
them to the rank and file Of the Re
publican party.
The Republican ticket of Garrett
county will command the respect and
will doubtless receive the support of
the entire party, and we believe will
be further augmented by many Dem
ocratic votes.

The Free silver Folly.

The suppositiOn that suddenly, in
the twinkling of an eye, after the
adoption of the Chicago platform the
great bulk of the Democrats in the
United States changed their minds
and became believers in the free coin
age of silver at the ratio of 1G to 1,
and mob rule, is not a reasonable
supposition. The supposition that
the 6,500,000 vOters-Democrats, Re
publicans and Populists-who voted
for Bryan were all converts to the
propositions laid down in the Chicago
platform is equally untenable. Thous-
ands of Democrats unwillingly sup
ported Bryan solely on account of
regularity. The silver Republicans
preferred Bryan solely because of
their belief in free silver coinage as a
paramount issue. The Populists
supported him because he was a Pop
ulist and had voted with that party,
and because his platform was Pop
ulist deliverance. 1t would be little

With wheat selling at more than 81
per bushel in New York markets,
where it was worth only So cents u
year ago, those tables which attemp-
ted to show that wheat and silver
keep pace as to their relative value
seem rather absurd now. Especially
is this the case when it is remember
ed that silver was worth 65 cents an
ounce in New York on August LIST of
last year, and is now worth SO cents
one year later.

Kansas is one OF the most interest
ing of the sisterhood of States. 1t
always commands attention if not ad-
miration. 1t is always alive-and
often kicking. Nothing is raised by
halves out there, whether it be
cyclones or calamity, whiskers or
wheat. Just now it is pleased to be
worthy of its pseudOnym, and, like
big sunfower, is nodding and bend
ing in the breezes of prosperity, which
is blowing in a steady gale from the
Western prairies. 1t is marketing a
tremendous wheat crop at the best
average price for ten years and it
wants the world 10 know of its good
fortune. In three counties alone in
the southeastern part of the State
the yield is estimated at more than
ten million dollars. The benefits are
not confined to the farmer. Every
body is sharing them. A banker
writes: This will be the best year
for business that Kansas has had for
ten wears" This will no doubt be
the experience of other States, but
the latter have less cause for congrat-
ulation than Kansas, because while
the States east of the Mississippi
have had their hard times, they did
not have in addition the crop Of
cranks to contend with, which tenn
porarily transformed the Sunfower
State into bleeding heart.

of the committee on credentials
which declared the primary elections

lions be held under strict rules and

set forth in the report of the commit

WHY should anybody care to veX
the country and keep the Democracy
divided by further insistence on a
doctrine that is as useless now, for
any political or other purpose, as a
last years birds nest? Especially
why should an ambitious leader like
Mr.. Bryan fail to see that further in
sistence upon twaddle so completely
negative by experience will only be a
needless sacrifice of his own career.

To YOUNG MEN IN LOVE (4th arti-
cle)-As pants the hunted hart for the
water brooks, so do the souls of some
of you yearn to hear the uniting cere-
mony. Often you feel as though
there were nothing good in the world,
if complete knowledge of your below
ed is denied you. Be careful, or grasp
ing, selfish passion will besmirch your
present joyous journey, and you will
be like some gluttonous youth stuf1ing
himself with unwholesome eatables.
indifferent to the beauty and history
of the scenery as he passes it.
-
L have already told you that love
and the quality on which love is often
based-respect-cannot live if only
sustained by passion. The passion
indeed may last long, but it will scorch
and burn and destroy all the sweet
refinement that, if not precious in
your eyes, is at least very dear to her
whom you have chosen. Now in
tend to carry you forward one start
Ing step and tell you that love can
ennoble and strengthen one life. a.or
both, though passion be forever de-
med. What we call the lower ele-
ment of our natures cannot be grand
except by the higher qualities ming
can live and last and grow, though
the lower be shut out altogether
tell you this and | confirm it by pages
from lives that have been laid open
before me; for | want you to have a
new sense of what love can do and
has done for our race. tell you this,
because love, in its highest form of
devotion to an IDEAL is capable of
entering your bursting heart, no mat
ter how obscure you are, and making
OF you a new creature, with a clean
life, pure thought and good purposes.
