In conversation with a Post reporter the

ENa1ANp,s REPLY.

October is the month in which the re-
ply of England to the overtures Of tie
Woleott commission was to be n1ade;
as yet it has not been made, though
of course there is plenty of time. But
the latest news from London is to the
effect that the answer Will be still fur
Their delayed
Unquestionably the question OF what
England should do in any arrangement
for the establishment of the free
coinage of silver or any considerably
enlarged use of it, has stirred the Eng
Iish financial world to the very core.
When the announcement was made
that the Sank of England was willing.
under favorable conditions, to hold
one-hfth Of its reserve in silver, Eng
lish commercial and financial centers
were stirred as never before; and ever
since that time they have been working
against all propositions looking to any
enlarged use Of silver by England 1t
is not improbable that they have sue
ceeded in blocking any plans that may
have been forming looking to even a
partial compliance with the overtures
of the Wolcott commission.
But whatever England's reply one
thing is certain; the Ieaven Of free
silver has been introduced among the
English people and it is working. That
this is so is evidenced from the alarm
of what may be termed the moneyed
interests. They recognize that the peo-
pie have been innoculated with free sill
yer ideas and they would be glad to
! eradicate them but know not how to do
it. We're the masses Of the English
people as accustomed to do their own
thinking as the American people are,
England would at this moment be in
the midst of a free silver agitation or
campaign. It will yet come. though it
may come slowly.

DEBs' LATEST scHEMF.

Eugene Debs and his various schemes
for the ameIioration of the condition of
the laboring man have attracted much
attention in the last few months. but
meme of the schemes have materialfzed
and he has come to be regarded not
Sc much as a reformer as a mere
schemer. His latest scheme is to en-
ploy idle men in building a railroad
from Nashville to Lebanon, a distance
of 20 miles. The scheme is best de-
scribed in the words of Mr.. Willard.
member Of the colonization commission
Of the Social Democracy. In his COM
munication to the Nashville city coun-
ell he said:
We propose to build the road and
turn it over to the city in fee simple,
so that the city shall own the road for
its own use and behoof forever. and
shah thus have something to show for
its money.
We propose the city shall issue $780,
coo in bonds in two series, one for $780,
600 to run for 20 years at per cent
interest, the other $500. 900 to he issued
in small denominations of, say So and
$40 each, to run ten years at per cent
interest. As there are 70 miles to build
we propose that as fast as tenth
the road is comDleted that one-te tenth
OF the bonds be turned over to the So
elaI Democracy, or some trustee desig-
mated by It.
We also ask that for turning the road
over to the city the Social Democracy
shall receive from the city for the term
Of 20 years 10 per cent of the gross
earnings of the road. We win guaran-
tee the construction and completion of
the road in such manner as may be
agreed on by a joint committee repre-
senting the city of Nashville and the
Social Democracy, with power to add
an arbitrator. we shall deposit a
guarantee with suitable trust COM
9any as soon as the city shall have
deposited the total amount of said
bonds with the same trust company.
He says that at the coming city cleo
ton, which VIII take place on the 18th
inst, some OF the candidates viii run
on platform favorlng the plan II they
do. they will scarcely be elected. 1t is
quite as wild as other schemes of Debs
and fully as inpracttcable If there
were any necessity for a railway be-
tween Nashville and Lebanon. the rail-
road people would build one; business
alone would induce them TO do it. sen
tiinent never. Among Debs' many
faults is that of never staying by ANY
one scheme long enough to get people
interested in it so they will give it a
trial.
