the recommendation of President
McKinley's message, and has been re-
echoed bv Chairman Cannon, of the

Notwithstanding the fact that
the farmers of the country have dis
posed of large quantities of wool at
greatly increased prices, the manu-
facturers are still calling for more
and are now finding it necessary to
send abroad for additions to their
stocks, which are already running
low. The great reduction in the
number of sheep in the country
which resulted from Democratic
free trade makes it Necessary for the
manufacturers to draw large
amount Of wool from abroad until
the farmers are able to bring their
fiocks back to the conditions which
existed und er the protective tariff.

L

to be very warmly commeded by pee
pie of both parties. This is SO clear
ly apparent that there is reason to
hope that the Numbers cf the Senate
who have it in their power to defeat
any legislation offered and supported
by the Republican party will take
lhe same ground upon this question
that they did upon that of the tariff
and omit such factional or extreme
opposition as to prevent its Anal
passage.
OF course, with so many currency
propositions. and SO many men who
have plans of their own or plans
which they have decided to support,
tbs whole matter will necessarily be
very thoroughly discussed before
action is taken. But the fact that the
Presidents plan grows more popular
every day as it is discussed and that
it appears to be a simple method Of
finally taking the Government out of
the banking business and permitting
the responsibility for maintaining a
sufficient currency and tho gold re-
serve to pass from its shoulders to
those of the banks Of the country may
lead a sufficient number of members

A curious fact which comes to the
surface here just now ia especially
interesting ..in view of Mr.. Bryan's
"triumphal" tour in Mexico. 1t is
a comparison which somebody
has made of the currancy conditions
in Mexico compared with those of
the United States. 1t is observed by
this stastical deliver that the Mexi-
cans, who are heaping adulations
upon the American apostle of the
Mexican system OF finance, having
a eurrancy amounting to 80 cents
per capita in gold, against 1886 per
capita in Mr.. Bryans own country,
$40 per capita in silver dollars
worth 45 cents each. $9.7s of silver
per capita in. the United States in
dollars worth 100 cents each, 50 |
cents per capita in silver basis paper
money, against $500 per capita in
yold-standard paper money in the
United States, making total of |
s8.42 per capita, with $S.O2 of it in
i5-csnts-on-the-dollar meney in Mex
leo, against 1924 OS per capita in 1OO-
cents-on-the-dolIar money in United |
States since Mr.. Bryan's nomination |
amounts to twice as much as the eli
tire gold, silver, and paper currancy
of al MelXico.

How do Jeffersonian Sound Money
Democrats Like This7

We clip from the editorial col.
umn of the Gazette of this city,
Nov. 10 the following:
"Another class which com
planned the most Of bossism are
some of those who recently left
the Democratic party for
that party's good and at
tempted to dictate to the Re-
publicans what they should do in
the recent campaign, and when the
Republican leaders declined to be
led by these raw recruits, in whom
the Republicans had no confidence,
these renegaded turned upon us
and knitted the ticket, and preyed
upon other and better men and
induced some of them to do like
wise. All we have to say is that
those who follow the leadership OF
men of that ilk, who have no polit-
ical integrity and no fixed princi-
pies, political or otherwise, will
regret in the end that they did not
stand by those who have always
been true to their convictions and
to the interests of the Republican
party. 1t were better for the
party that certain idividuals who
have neither brains, patriotism nor
principle should return to their
vomit and wallow in the cesspool
of political treachery and deceit for
which they are SO well fitted by
nature. We do not need them
and do not want them"
WE DO NOT NEED THEM AND DO NOT
WANT THEM.
The Gazette is rather severe
upon the class who unbidden have
gone into Republican quarters.
They are charged with being with
out "political integrity, and no
fixed principles, political or other
wise" "who have neither brains,
patriotism nor principle. " The
Republican party can put up with
the dirtiest flthiest negro but that
class whom they denominate trail
tors they do not need, neither do
they want.
This assault is rough, but we do
not see that they could expect
better things. They deserted the
Democratic party because they
could not run it, entered the Re.
publican party, proved treacher-
Gus there and were the cause of
the defeat of that party is the way
the editor of the Gazette feels
about the matter, and for this con-
duct the Gazette rejecting the
sentiment of the Republicans de-
mands that they get out.

Are foot ball games dangerous
We answer, yes. Are there dan
gers about the game of base ball
Well, yes, men and boys some
times are stove up. Bull pen, the
game Of long ago, had its dangers;

a while by being struck over the
stomach or heart, then there was

we find life whether in games or
business, there we fdd perils.

they be avoided literally, then, like
