The coal strike has been precipitated
by low wages-the wage scale Is large
ly governed by demand. If prosperity
was upon us, instead Of running at a
deer's pace in advance Of us, there
would be a demand for coal for mills
and factories. Evidently the coal
strike, despite Messrs. Hanna and
Sherman, Is the result Of the false f.
nancial policy of the government.
Even the stupidity vicious antagonists
of bimetallism will soon open their
eyes to a condition which is sinking
our country into greater depths Of woe
each day.-Grand Junction Sentinel.
Nearly every town in the west has
its jack-leg lawyer who never has to

just make a note of it. You will find
these men taking deep interest in

the side of corporationa-Calamity

Should there by an improvement in
business, 1t will be caused by an in
crease of money, brought over to pay
for the surplus products of our country,
the very thing our people said would
improve conditions. But the Repub-
lican editors and politicians claim all
the improvement for themselves and
their party. And the worst Of it is,
their blind dupes believe them.-Chi-
cago Express.
Last fall the Republican press
throughout the land dubbed every free

Whenever a party or a politician is

The mandate of our people was I'M
questionably to leave things alone, to
leave our currency system IN statu
quo. But We cannot leave 1t alone.
1t is top-heavy and it will not stand

the base broadened. We must have
contraction at the top or expansion at
the bottom. PHILADELPHIA American.
