THE editor of the Poplar Bluff Re
publican says that If gold should be-
come so cheap that it would no longer
be worth enough to keep it on parity
with silver at l to 16, he would be in
favor of making silver the standard.
This is his meaning, if not ''in the ex-
act language of his own words" Eve
intended quoting UerbGtins, but have
mislaid that issue of the Republican,
Perhaps, Bro. Tromly will at some flu
ture time explain why it was that sill

1873. He will remember-and, if he
doesn't remember, he can ascertain

out" and the gold standard created,
the silver dollar was worth three cents
more than the gold dollar, in the
markets of the world.

GOLD standard papers of New York
have been interviewing Senator
Stewart of Nevada lately and have
been heralding broadcast the news that
he has renowned the doctrine of free
silver, which he has so long preached.
This fake interview was telegraphed
all over the country as a sign of the
disintegrating of the silver forces of
the United States. Seen by Kansas
City Times correspondent at Washing
ton City last Monday, Senator Stewart
said: Il have had no conversation
with a reporter or with anybody else
from which any inference can be
drawn, much less any statement made,
to the effect that have changed my
views with regard to the unlimited
coinage of silver by the United States,
Independently of any other nation, and
at the ratio of 16 to l. / recognize
the fact that there is a temporary boom
in this country. founded on short crops
and famine in other countries, and
which will make times better until our
competitors have good crops again,
but l never have intimated an opinion
that there is a possibility of good times
while the effort is being made by the
money powers to substitute gold mon
ey for silver money now in circulation.
While that process continues gold will
appreciate and the general trend of
prices will be a declining one. 1 do
not predict any hope of continued
prosperity in this country by eontinu-
ed distress elsewhere. The statement
made in New York last week that
Senator Stewart of Nevada is one of
the latest converts to commercial OPP
timism, and that he is bull on ev-
erything except silver, is total mis-

1t Will Not Down.

The machine politician cannot un-
derstand why the silver question will
not down in response to his manipula-
tion of the political wires. 1t ought
to do so. according to all precedent.
The press in almost its entirety is
against it. Those who control the
great arteries of commerce and infor-
nation are a unit for gold. Both poll
teal machines. in the beginning, were
opposed to free coinage. Prominent
leaders in all parties have pronounced
against it. Still the agitation has
gone forward with accommodating mo-
mentum, until all fair-minded men &C
knowledge that bimetalism is stronger
to-day than it ever has been since the
contest began. 1t took twenty million
dollars to carry the election for gold
in 1896. 1t will likely require fifty
millions to carry the election of 1898
for the yellow metal, and, if things
keep their present course. more money
than English and American bOndhold-
ers will care to part with will be need
ed in 1900. To the average politician
this state of affairs is confusing.
When Cleveland, Mills, Wilson, Car
Isle, Watterson, Whitney, Villas and
other lights of the party, backed by
unlimited wealth and the metropolitan
press ofthe nation, pronounced against
Free Coinage, he fully expected the is
sue to vanish from the stage of active
politics and no longer be considered as
a part of the body of Democratic doc
trine. To his surprise the Democratic
party ran over these men with the IA
cilIty an express train runs over
flock of sheep. and with about as much
emotion. They are out of the party
and are known no more in its councils.

is always weak, no matter how strong
it may appear. The cause of bimetal-
ism is right-hence it's vitality. When
a nation like ours takes up an issue it
will never permit it to be settled until
it is settled right. Conditions are
stronger than policies, as the politi-
clans are finding out. The people of
the United States have at last turned
their attention to the solution of the
financial problems that have presented
themselves. and they will see to it
that their solution is correct, let Wall
and Lombard streets yell never SO
loudly. Attempt after attempt was
made to retire the question of slavery
from the political arena, but each at
tempt failed, bearing down with it the
fortunes of some great party leader;
but it was never retired until slavery
was wiped out. Politicians will learn
that living issues in which the people
have vital interest are warm goods
to handle from purely political stand
point.

The Textbook Commission recently
in session at jefferson City claims to
have done great service to the State.
Let US examine their work and see
what they have done. In the first
place, the Commission was in session
twice as long as was necessary, at a
salary of SO per day for each member,
and total expense of several thou
sand dollars, to be paid by the poor
tax payers of the State. In the Sec
ond place, they changed all the text
books used in the public schools lex
cept the readers.) This sweeping
change will put thousands of dollars
into the pockets of the publishers, and
of course the patrons of the public
schools must pay it. Each child in
school must be supplied with a COM
plete set of new books, and to do this
will cost on an average something
near $5 per child. This means an ex-
pense Of $15 to $50 for each family of
four or five children; and for the little
county of Iron alone the expenditure
will reach the enormous sum of not
less than $4,000 and perhaps SIS, 1000.
For the State it will take millions of
dollars TO supply these new books.
This we hold to be an unnecessary and
inexcusable hardship. It is so because
the children who have enrolled in the
public schools within the last five years
are all, or nearly all, now supplied
with new books of the old series.
These books are equally as good as.
and perhaps more satisfactory than,
the books of the new series. Then
why. may we ask, this sweeping
change? Why this heavy tax upon
the poor patrons Of the common
schools? In these hard times an addi-
tional expense of SO or $50 to each
family is no small item. How long
will suffering public continue to suf-
fer? Will you not rise up in your
might and ask the next Legislature to
abolish this Textbook Commissionp

There is a need of sympathy between the rich and the poor. The rich know nothing of the poor, never see them, and never think of their existence, except in bread riot. If the rich were in closer touch with the Submerged tenth" there would be less friction. This wide differ ence between the classes and the masses was one cause of the French revolution. A princess Of the royal house heard mob before the palace, and asked what the people wanted. They clamor for bread" was the reply. If they won't eat bread, why don't they eat cake?" she asked. A nobleman said: Let the people eat grass" When the mob took him to the guillotine they stuck sprig Of grass in his mouth. These incidents illustrate the utter lack of sympathy be- tween the high and the low. It falls to the lot of charitable women 70 establish this sympathy between the fortunate and unfortunate. They can do it if they will, and they are doing it. In New York the charitable women go down among the poor and get personally acquainted with them. In Birmingham the charitable ladies go out to give instruction and lit- erature to the convic.s.
