which was defeated by strict party vote.
The Democratic conferrees then offered
amendments to the report. but were met with
the statement that 1t would merely consume
time to urge amendments, they would be re-
jected.
Representative Wheeler (Dem) Of Alabama.
offered amendments placing cotton bagging and
cotton ties on the free list: also a substitute
proposition for rebates on these articles. These
and other amendments were withdrawn. how

The Issue Of 1900.

Wen, perhaps Brother al" that may be
true. IL the farmers, mechanics and the
laboring classes generally who would be
more greatly affected by such a change are
convinced that irwould benefit them, they
have perfect right TO advocate the dec
trine, use all honorable means to promote
their yiews, and aid the cause by their
votes. but thoy should not be carried
away by specious arguments, unsound
reasons, and the demOgOgio cry of more
money They should view the question
from all available standpOints and con-
slider 1t not as a party slogan, but as pure
business proposition They should con
trast.the predictions made regarding wheat
and silver with the present situation Of
those and other commodities and should
carefully note the conditions of the coun-
try as time develops them. IL Is quite a
long way to 1900, and the sagncious and
reasoning man may greatly broaden his
ideas on the question before again casting
his vote for President. Meanwhile the
columns Of the PRESS are open for fair
discussion Of the subject, and an inter

The Coinage Question.

/ LAYTON, Nov 8, 1897
| At parliamentary bye-election in the
Middleton division of Southeast Ian
'cashire, England, the question of bi-metal-
lism played a considerable part. The gov
ernment candidate, Mitchell, was defeated
on the ground that the Salisbury govern
ment, of which he was an avowed supper
ter, had refused TO meet the proposals of
the American, and French governments
fayorably on bi-metallism. Duckworth,
who is bi-metallist and a thoroughgoing
Liberal, was elected by 300 majority,
against the former government candi-
dates majority of 1856. Making change
of 665 votes in tolal poll of about 1000
This is only one case of revival, and goes

as in the United States are in favor of re-
moving all restrictive legislation from sill

standard advocates, that prosper ity for

make desperate effort to bolster up the
blighting principle. The course of all his
tory shows that in the end the peoples de-
mands for an extension of privileges,
either for greater political liberty, or Sc
curity from the legalized encroachments
of capital, has had to be conceded. Gov
ernments exist only by consent Of the gov
erned, and when wrongs creep in, there
must always come time when they will
be righted Free and unlimited coinage
Of silver is not "bogie." nor is it dead
issue The question is not yet settled, but
the time is nearing fast when it must be
settled, and settled right. Bi-metallism
will be a very live issue in the next falls
election, and the congressman will need to
declare himself squarely on that point.
Unless Unforeseen complications Of a very
grave nature should appear, the next
President, in 1900, will be elected on this
issue of the Free aud unlimited coinage
of silver" Whenever the people realize,
as they surely will, that correct financial
system is of greater Importance TO them
than any other question, without proper
settlement of which true prosperity can
never come, they will make themselves
heard in a way that will command atten-
tion, and bring about a reformation of our
whole financial policy. H.
