In southern Arizona the Jail and prison

prevent the smuggling into their institu-
tions of the seductive mariguana. This is
a kind of loco" weed, mere powerful than
opium. 1t grows from seed by cultivation
in southern Arizona and in Mexico. Ii is a
dangerous thing for the uninitiated to
handle, but those who know its uses say it
produces more ravishing dreams than
opium. The Mexicans mix ii with tobacco
and smoke ii in cigarettes. inhaling the
smoke. When used in this way 1t produces
a hilarious spirit in the smoker that cam
not be equaled by any other form of dissi-
patton. When smurgled inside the prison
walls its deyotees readily pay 81 an ounce
for it. but free men buy Ii on the outside
for 80 cents an ounce. Gen. Shrver of the
prison force at Yuma has just unearthed a
large quantity of the weed that had been
cached within reach of the convicts who
work in the outside chain gangs.

There is reason TO believe that the sill
yer men will consirue the promise as TO
the new tariff law as they did the prom
Use as to republican success in the ma
tional election. That is to say, they
win insist on immediate results TO justify
the claims put forth. No sooner had
the votes been counted in November than
the silver men began TO urge that the
promised revival Of prosperity must set
in. They pretended to be greatly dis.
appointed. They characterized every
commercial failure announced as giving
the lie 10 the sound money propaganda.
They argued as If the country hai haen
assured OF a general revival OF business
in twenty-four hours There had. OF
course. been no such assurances given.
II was known that time would be neces-
sary to develop the fruits Of republican
victory; that after so long period Of
disaster and unrest recuperation would
necessarily De slow. But time is fulAu-
ing the promise. Prosperity is return
ing, Business is rsviving. Prices are
good and stin on the up grade. The
wisdom Of last years decision at the
polls IS now past all serious question.
The silver men will now turn their at
renuon to the new tariff law They will
insist that from the very outset ii must
Justify itself. The receipts. they will
contend, must take an immediate bound
and I'LL the treasury. As a matter OF
fact the new law is likely to yield its
smallest returns during the first six
months of its operations. Antcipatory
imports have been hurried in until he
warehouses are piled with enormous
stocks Il viii take time to work these
of. and during this time the receipts
from customs Will necessarily De re-
dueed. But that the new law, orce the
conditions become normal again, will
justify itself is an assurance resting upon
the careful calculations Of both states
men and business experts. and may he
accepted without reservation by the
country. The government will receive
money enough under it for its comfort
able support, and American labor and
industries protection enough under it
to give an impetus to activity through
out the land. The silver men are pull
ing against rising tide; and it is
strange commentary on their attitude
and organization that those things which
carry the greatest comfort to the coun-
try carry the greatest discouragement
to themselves.

The more the farmers throughout the
country look at the present price OF
wheat and compare 1t with the metallic
value Of the silver dollar the more they
must feel satisfied with the result Of
the presidential election. They are get
ting from twenty-five to thirty cents
bushel more for wheat this season than
last, and getting it in gold Moreover,
they are not only paying their debts in
good coin at a hundred cents On the
dollar but they have money to loan.
The farmer pays his debts on the gold
basis, loans his money on the gold basis
and when It falls due he will expect 10
receive payment on the gold basis. Men
who at all reflect on the money ques-
tion and on prices must now perceive
that however coincident the decline in
the prices Of silver and wheat was for
number Of years, there was no neces-
sary connection between the two pro-
ductions, and it was not the demonetiza-
ton Of silver that caused wheat to de-
cline. Both wheat and silver suffered
in price because there was an over-sup-
ply Of both and less demnad. Today
the worlds supply of wheat is short, and
the price, for natural economic reasons,
advances. 1t is not 50 with silver. The
over-psoduction continues, and there is
no corresponding demand. Hence the
price falls. The farmers will undoubtedly
do good deal Of hard-headed thinking
this fell, and If Bryan and AItgeld and
The whole silver crew ever cajole them
into voting for free silver again It will
be because they haev lost their wits.
