THE ISSUE is FREE SILVER.
A Severe Lesson In Gold MonOmctaI-
liam for the PcOple.


What do the republicans mean when
they talk about "sound money!" They
mean gold, and nothing but gold. How
do they propose to get what they want?
BY retiring the greenbacks. which bear
no interest, and substituting for them
a currency founded on interest-bearing
bends.
What object has the republican party
In view in retiring TIE greenbacks?
They desire to reward the plutocrats
and bondholders for their services in
the last presidential campaign. BY is
suing bonds bearing interest they give
the spectators q chance to make money
at the expense of the people.

are not going to be satisfied with the
Sound money" policy of the admins
tration. They do not believe in the
issuing of Understanding bonds in
time of peace; they do not believe in
striking out of use one-half of the hard
money in this country; they do not
believe in destroying the value of sill
yer and in making all debts payable in
gold.
On the other hand. the honest. indus
trious and sufferingp people of this coun-
try have with them an object lesson
which teaches more eloqucntly than
words the truth that monometallic
gold currency is a curse to the nation.
They have seen their property so re-
duced in value that those who were
once well-to-do are now poor. and those
who were once comfortable are now in
actual distress. They insist that this
government shall cease to legislaie in
the interests of money sharks and
bondholders and shall turn its attcn-
ton to the betterment of the condition
of those who are the bone and sinew of
the nation.

While the republican senator's stood
out to the end against the demand for
a lower tariff on lumber. agreeing TO
the extreme rates despite the protests
of manufacturers and consumers, they
have been compelled to yield little bit
in the case of the sugar schedule. in or
der to insure party harmony.
At the republican caucus differen-
tial rate on refined sugar of one cent
and 95-100ths of cent per pound was
agreed upon, the new rate being COM
promise between the Dingley and Aid
rich schedules. The change from the
ad valorem to q specific duty il con-
sidered concession to popular demand
as it renders the meaning of the sched-
ule more ineligible and the trusts
evasion of the duty more difficult.
While the lawmakers have been
obliged to defer to public sentiment in
this instance-and the fact is IN en-
couraging one-they might have gone
still further in undoing the work of the
Aldrich committee without trespassing
too far upon the special rights which
the sugar trust appears to enjoy at the
senate end of the capitol. The schedule
fixed by tie senate subcommittee was
SO favorable TO the trust that it can
stand the trimming done by the eau
Gus in response to popular clamor for
reform and still be better schedule
for the sugar kings than the house
measure was.
That the enormous earnings Of the
trust have not been too seriously i'm
perilcd by the action of the caucus was
evident from the jump which sugar
trust stock took in Wall street when the
compromise was reported. Toned
down as it has been--it may have been
marked up. like tricky tradesman's
selling prices. for that purpose--the
sugar schedule will still vic with the
wool and lumber features of the new
tariff for the distinction of being the

Some of our contemporaries seem to

ularIy in districts remote from rock
and gravel supplies. and capitalists are
not likely to do the work for them.
The utilization Of convict labor on the
roads should result in considerable
increase in hard-road mileage. but such
increase would be mparatively slow
and it's effect upon the general traffic
Of the country hardly noticeable for

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
1 ask the privilege of an old subscriber
and constant reader of your valuable paper
of publishing a few remarks regarding the
editorial, prince Bismarck's Despond-
ency,'' which appeared in The Star few
days ago. A great newspaper like The
Star. so uniformly fair in its discussion of
public men and affairs. and usually so well
informed on all topics of the day. is Ger
tainly badly served with its news concern
ing Germany and the German emperor, and
the only reason for it's structures on the
latter Is, believe, that 1t sees everything
concerning him through English and
French glasses. There never was a public
man SO persistently abused and so relent-
lessly prosecuted by large part of the
public press as the German emperor is
and all through prejudice because the dire
commercial ruin, made by large part of
the continental press, ably seconded by
English newspapers have failed, and the
contrary has been the result.
What are the charges, and what are the
facts?
That he has tried first one thing and then
another? That is no reflection on his ca

good many young orchards yet to come into

tinued spread of the yellows will probably
discourage much further planting. SO it is
probable that within two three years we
shall have reached the full high tide of the
present peach boom. The next legislature
will probably be asked to re-enact the vel
lows law, which this industry and all in
telligent cuitivatcrs demand. Most of the

lection have kept right on pulling and
