of Europe. Every day prices here huctuate
with Liverpool quotations. The price is in
gold. If we were on "A silver basis is
Mexico our price for wheat would be the
gold value in silver. If the bullion in a sill
yer dollar were worth rs cents in the mar
kets of the world and wheat were worth
a dollar bushel in gold in Liverpool it
would be worth about $1.25 a bushel here.
If a man has notes to pay in wheat the
word gold would not be written, the 81 25
would enable him to cheat his creditors
but when he went into the market to pur-
chase the general necessaries of life the
price he would pay would be the gold price
in its equivalent of silver. Ex-Governor
Matthews ought to know this-must know
it, still he thinks that to be a Democrat it
is necessary to be absurd. Before Bryan
ism and the capture of the Western De-
mocracy by the silver mine owners, ex-
Governor Matthews held in an interview
that Independent free coinage at the ratio
OF l6 to ! would bring disaster to this coun-
try. He was right then, but he has changed
to keep up with Bryan and the silver mine
owners.

DRIFTING TO DANGER.

1t is very unfortunate that the leaders of
the miners have not attempted to fix a rea-
sonable rate for mining coal instead of de-
voting all their energies to efforts to stop
work in all the mines Early in the strike
the mine operators showed a disposition to
make terms; indeed, a meeting of operators
agreed upon a scale of wages much higher
than has been paid, and there is every rea-
son to believe that it would have been
adopted ere this had the leaders of the
miners shown any disposition TO agree upon
any terms. In the East a very bad feeling
has been developed, and threats are made
on both sides which bode nothing but ILL.,
The miners are determined to force every
man out of the mines, and many of the
operators threaten to fill their mines with
foreign labor. Here is where the leaders,
if they were discreet men, should step in
and agree upon scale of prices. 1t is the
only wise thing to do. If they should sue
coed in coaxing or coercing all the men in
the mines to leave their work they would
not be in position to demand any price
that they may wish There is limit to
the price which can be paid for mining coal
since if the leaders could control all the
miners. they might fix a price for coal
which would stop all the factories in the
land. If mine operators should be so UNI
wise as to bring more labor into the mining
region, where there is already too much,
nothing but lawlessness, violence and suf-
fering would result.
So many of the mines have been closed
that the stock of coal is so reduced and the
times so improved that operators can al
ford and are willing to pay fair price for
mining. This is certainly the case in this
locality, but in obedience to the orders of
their officers the men refuse to work, re-
CARELESS of the prices offered, relying upon
the public for daily food. They should
know that this condition cannot last for
ever, or even weeks longer. When the
strike was begun the object was stated to
be to secure fair wages. There will be a
change of sentiment when it is understood
to obtain or TO accept fair rates when Of
fered When it shall appear that the con-
test is simply the determination of a few
leaders to show that they can close all the
coal mines of the country rather than d
purpose to secure a fair rate of wages as
soon as opportunity offered thousands who
have aided the miners will withdraw both
aid and sympathy.

MATTHEWS'S BLUNDERS.

1t is unfortunate that so pleasant a gen
tleman as Ex-Governor Matthews should
make himself so ridiculous as he does by
advertising his ignorance on all economic
questions. y few days ago, in the Fourth
district, he declared as one of the largest
sheep owners that free wool was better for
the wool grower than duties on wool. The
of free wool the country has had since
Governor Matthews was born the price
was d third less than it was under protec-
ton and the price of sheep had fallen in
a like degree 1t might have added that
under free wool the foreign competitor
seized half the American market when
previously he had less than quarter. No
doubt he continued to make the ridiculous
statement after its absIrdity had been ex-
posed Since that time he has reasserted
to l. He closed an interview in the Journal
yesterday with the statement that it is
a matter of regret that "untoward legisla-
ton regarding silver has made such con-
ditions that we cannot derive more profit
from our big crops" Ex-Governor Mat
thews ought TO know that the readers of the
Journal know. and thousands of Demo-
Gratis as we'll that all chatter about greater
profits in wheat and other crops would be
realized If the country were on a silver
basis is worse than nonsense. What makes

The holding of the Republican ward pri-
maries for the nomination of candidates
for the Council in the afternoon and eX-
tending into the evening is a step in the
right direction. 1t means an orderly pro-
ceedng in which the selection of candi-
dates shall be or can be made by the same
careful methods which are observed in cleo
lions. The complaint about the ward pri-
mary has been that the methods of hold
ing make it impossible to secure the best
results and possible to defeat the purpose
of voters. Heretofore where there has been
a contest in ward, particularly large
Republican ward, three four hundred
men were assembled in the vicinity of the
place where the meeting was to be held.
1t was arranged that the voters should
pass through or by a door where the votes
were taken. The rush was often so great
that no attention could be given to those
who voted by the officers of the meeting.
1t was simply a crowd which was excite
ment for some but disgust for others. There
was really no means to prevent double Vot-
ing or fraudulent voting. AS a matter of
fact, this method invited fraud if there
were those who were willing to resort to it,
because there was no opportunity to chal-
lenge and no real check upon fraudulent
voting.
1t is well known that for years there has
been a growing feeling of dissatisfaction
because of the loose practices in the man.
agement of primaries. 1t is frequently
charged that Democrats participate in Re
publican primaries In a precinct on the
North Side when committeeman We're
chosen to elect a chairman it was reported
that more than half of those who were in
attendance were not Republicans. Evils
spread rapidly; so great an evil as this
looseness in the holding of primaries will
become general if the plan for holding
these meetings just adopted by the city
committee for the nomination of council
men is not made permanent and extended.
III several States the laws throw the same
protection around the primary that has
long surrounded the regular election. This
is as it should be. The primaries of one
or the other of the two parties practically
make the officers to be subsequently voted
for To make the primary system what it
should be. list of the party voters in
wards or precincts should be prepared for
use at primaries. AS the lists taken by
the committees making the polls prior to
elections are essentially complete, they
could be used as check lists.
All Republicans who desire that clean
and honorable methods shall characterize
+bo ,,r;,,,arx, should show their apDrecia-
ton of the change made by the committee
by going to the polls on Friday afternoon
and evening and voting.
