that silver Crs g."

The decision OF the English cabinet
not to join in an international mons.
tary ccut Gil has been greeted by the
Republican press as "a crushing blow
to the silver crsz7" in The United
States. Were the silver craze based
on the theories held by the specy lators
and money changers OF Lombard
street, instead OF upon the sad and evil
experiences c. Iwenty-iour years OF
demonstration, there might be some
ground Tor the expression OF an opln
ion that tee cause of bimetzllism had
received crushing blow" But the
people Of this country have been
plunged too deeply in disaster and
nave lost too much in the value OF
their properly and are suffering too
greatly from depressed business TO
forget that the cause all this dis.
tress and loss ard suffering is the gold
stsadsrd, which England wishes to be
maintained. This stupid talk on the
part Of Republican editors is discount
ed almost daily by their own news
columns, aud yet they persist in bao-
bling about the dying out OF the sill
yer crsz,." The Manufacturers Of
Philadelphia admits that the revival
of industries is ha pered by the small
amount OF money available, and aays
that this fact gives the free silver
demasogue pogerful text IN the in
adequate supply Of money and puts
rIs readers .r hearers into q recepLIYc
mood fer false doctrines Thus thia
gold advocate admits fact and denies
he inevitable ,nclusion in the same
paragraph. Tne Democrats m%iotain
that there can never be sufficient
supply Of money with which to do the
business of this couutry or gold ba
sis, and the facts conf,,n this conten-
ion 2akiLg simply this one phase
OF the QUESTION, is it lot clear that, 40
matter wDat Englsod may say or do,
The silver craze" cscGot die outin the
UGited States.
