organization was planned to be, than
ever before In It's history.
Cincinnati Enquirer: II gold were to-
tally demOnetized the four thousand mil
lions Of gold coin now IN existence would
make such glut In the bullion market
that gold would probably not sell for as
much as dollar pound.
Baltimore Herald: However it may
cut across old theories or disturb party
lines, the swerving around to high tariff
notions by the masses appears to be a
fact, grounded In the industrial cOndi-
tiOns which now environ the country.
American Banker: The great fall Of
prices In 1893 and subsequently, intensi-
Ied the feeling that more money had
become an unavoidable necessityif bank
ruptcy was to be avoided, and this was
the inspiration of the silver movement
Thomas B. Reed: We have learned
at least one lesson worth all the suffer-
ing, and that is the great problem Is not
prices, but the employment Of all our
people There is but one standard of
real prosperity, and that Is the whole
nation at work.
Kansas City Star: II the crop cOndi-
tons that exist now had come four years
ago William j. Bryan never would have
been nominated for President and Will
liam Mckinley never would have been
elected to that Office. All men are crea-
lures Of circumstances
New York World: Wheat Is going UP
because 1t 10 necessity the very "staff
OF life" and Europe Is short Of 1t. Silver
is going down because 1t Is not neces-
sity, and neither Europe nor America is

more than they know what to do with.
New York Post: The proceedings in
Stltuted by Justice Keogh, In Westches-
Ger county, are calculated to- arouse the
hope that milliOnaires may be got rid
Of altogether. The very simple and ef-
fective expedlent has been adopted of
assessing their parks and palaces at
enormous valuations.
Boston Herald: The Republicans of
Massachusetts, can take care of them
selves without outside assistance or ems
couragement. The election here prom,
lses to be a regular Republican picnic.
IL is all one way, and proffered help or
advice from outside would be deemed
almost an impertinence.
Savannah News: The adherence of
the Republican party to Its old policy OF
appointing negroes to important offices
In the South Is rather beneficial than
otherwise to the Democratic party. Ev-

against facti0nalism and dlssensions In
the Democratic ranks.
Milwaukee Sentinel; The coal strike
Is said to have had a marked effect In
stimulating the demand for oil to be
uaed in the place of coal. Coal COnsum,
egs In Indiana are having it demon
strated TO them that crude oil can be
furnished them at rate which will
make its use as a fuel cheaper, while it
will be a greater heat-producer than
coal.
Alabama Monitor: Export bounties
ON agricultural products, in order to
eQualiEe the adverse effect Of protec-
tive tariff on manufactured goods which
the farmers are compelled to buy, will
be an issue In this country at no distant
date. 1t is so manifestly fair and just,
and is so essential to eQuallze capabili-

Harper's Weekly: The demand Of the
countries which are fed by the wheat
