The Dodge VIII Not Work.

The effort now being made to push
the tariff question to the front and to
divert attention from the other issues
raised by the Chicago platform need
occasion no one surprise. The silver
question is well defined and clear cut.
The proposition is so plain and simple
that any one with sufficient intelligence
to find his way to the polls on election
day can comprehend it. Shall we con-
tinue the present gold unit and the
single gold standard, or shall we re-
turn to the old silver unit and the
double standard. with the free coinage
of both gold and silver at the ratio OF
16 to l? is the proposition presented to
the voter by the financial question
when he reaches the polling booth.
The reason for the great anxiety on
the part of the money lords to get rio
of the silver question is obvious. In
the first place, a return to the old sill
yer unit, with free coinage at the old
ratio, would benefit the common peo-
pie of the whole country, irrespective
of locality, while the golo standard
benefits the bond-hoIder of Denver
quite as much as the man who deals in
stocks and bonds on Wall Street. At
ter full and complete discussion of
this question they fear that two classes
throughout the nation will eventually
be arrayed against each other: the
man who lives by labor, and the man
who draws his living from the labor of
others without rendering a fair equiv
alent; the bondholder and plutocrat
on the one hand, and the great mass
of the common people on the other.
The simple issue presented by the sill
yer question is one that cannot be
evaded; it must be met squarely. The
result Of the fight along the lines laid
down by the Chicago platform is a
foregoEe conclusion. The plutocrat,
if he cannot evade the battle, must go
to the wall in the end; hence any sac
riice will be made to get the silver
question off the stage.
With the tariff question it is differ
ent. Local interests can be arrayed
against each other-the contention can
be made to hinge upon one-eighth of
one per cent. The interests of Maine
are not the same as the interests of
Mississippi. The man who makes pots
in New Jersey has no business inter-
ests In common with the man who
quarries granite in Missouri, or raises
wheat in Nebraska. The opportuni-
ties for dividing the common people
over the tariff question are unlimited,
and, in the end, whichever wins, the
plutocrat will write the tariff law.
The money lords wrote the Mckinley
bill, the Wilson bill, and latterly the
Dingley bill.
1u6 game s6euS W nave OSSu W
make the Dingley bill so onerous and
so reprehensible that people will lose
sight of the contention over the money
question, in order to relieve them
selves from the burdens of the present
vicious tariff law. These gentlemen
may overshoot the mark; the people
may conclude to get rid of both evils.
The politician or newspaper who at
tempts to further this game will be as
dead duck as Cleveland is to-day.

WE have often heard, and are still
hearing, day after day, that ''the sill
yer craze is dying out" but the men
who called for Prof. Andrews resigna-

''damnable iteration. They say the
silver question els still dominant in
national politics." and no doubt speak
from the conditions in their immedi-
ate surroundings. II the little State
of Rhode Island, separated from Lom-
bard Street by only yielding expanse
of water, and within three hours ride

question, what must be the turmoil it
