Silver Sentiment Growing.

1
Those who flattcr themselves that the
| free silver sentiment of this country is
| dying out are lacking in powers of oh
servation or are guilty of shutting theii
| eyes in order that they may not see.
Colonel Henri WattersOn is an expert
| cnced politician, and yet, in Il recent
| speech, he made the following reckless
| assertion: "As Il political issue the free
| and independent coinage of silver at 4
| ratio of IL to l, or AT any other ratio, is
| as dead as the institution of African
| slavery"
1t is worthy of note that the New
York World, n strong advocate of the
| mOnomctallic gold standard, takes oc-
| casion to criticise the opinion expressed
by Colonel Watterson. In discussing
this matter the World says: "From this
statement we must dissent. 1t does net
correctly state the actual situation. We
wish it did. But no good and much
harm may come from deceiving our
selves with such an optimistic but un-
fortunately untrue view of existing po-
Hllcai c0nultlOnS.
''It is best always to see and recog-
nize the truth, even though We would
prefer it were not so. And the soJer,
undeniable truth is that the free silver
issue is neither dead nor sleeping"
Our esteemed contemporary is emf
nently right in its view of the situation.
The sentiment in favor of free silver
was never as strong in the United
States as it is today. Aside from the
fact that logic and reason are all on the
side of free silver. the corruption and
slrbserviency of the Republican party
tend to destroy its influence and to
strengthen the Democracy.
The World concludes its comment on
the situation by saying: 'There is, in
fact. grave danger of Il popular reaction
against the national verdict of 1896
which may enable the free silver coali-
ton to carry some very important cleo
tiOns this year, and perhaps the next
House. and at the same time gain con
troll of the almost evenly balanced Sen
ate next year"
1t is evident that the advocates of
gold are beginning to see the handwrit-
ing on the wall. The enemies of the
people have been weighed in tie bal
anc and found wanting. The downfall
of the party of trusts and taxes is ap-
roaching.-ChicagO Dispatch.

The Exodus FROM the Farm.

The policy that makes agriculture un-
profitable shows vital defect. Men
will leave the farm so long as prOtec-
ton takes from agriculture aud gives to
industry. They will run for office so
so greatly exceed the average earnings
in private life. An honest, frugal gov
ernment. bestowing equal ana exact
justice to all and granting special priv
iieses to none, would so ennobe the
farm that the present exodus worit.

The Dingley newspapers are telling
of a return of ''the wages of 1892" But
the wages in 1892 were no higher than
the wages in 1890, before the passage of

the law never responded to the Demo

of wages in Il single protected industry
