The Dingley bill is now the law of the land. In the opinion of the Democrat it is very bad bill, the worst tariff measure, in fact, that has ever been framed in all the history of the country. It was written by the combinations of capital that are to profit by it from taxes laid upon the people. There was an opportunity for the Re publican maj to eliminate some of it's most atrocious features by the imposition of a tax on stocks and bonds, but the party, true to the plutocratic influences which domlnate 1t, threw away the opportunity. We shall see what will come of the Dingley bill. We may have, and the Democrat sim ,cerely hopes that we shall have, a return ofprosperity. But this will be in spite of this high tariff meas- ure. It will be because we have reached the bottom round and there must be change, and es- pecially because of great crops, which will find a ready market in Europe .-Arkansas Democrat.

Most of the borrowing members have paid the association moro money, besides the interest, than ihey received, and if the courts will grind little equity, the dupes will get relief.

About year ago Inc advent of . chemical engine promised to bring about the result. hut failed, and now that journal urges the people "not to hesitate about raising S1500, the amount necessary to secure this reduc- ,ion."

Three times has the city been saved from destruction by fire and the insurance companies saged thousands of dollars and the rates remain the same.

hospitality, however, was voiced IN
telegram which the pr sident Of the San

happened to be in New York at the time,
sent to the chief counselor Of the com
pany, General Houston:

UNCLE SAINTS COSTLY EXPERIMENT

The agitation for the restoration Of tn
silver dollar TO free coinage sprang up
very shortly after the value of the bull
lion in that coin became less than a dol
lar. The primary agitation was started
by those interested in silver mining.
The greenback doctrine, that "the stamp
of the government gives value, irrespec-
tive of the value of the thing stamped,
had found many deluded followers
among the American people, and these
individuals readily swallowed the falla-
cies of the silver mine owners and gave
the silver movement a large following.
The battle between a stable standard
and a depreciating and fuctuating one
should have been fought out then and
there. But policy Of temporizing and
Of compromise was adopted. The Bland
act was passed by congress over the veto
OF President Hayes, who deserves more
credit than has yet been given him for
his sturdy opposition to the unsoun1
money scheme.
From February 2s 1SS, when the gov
ernment of the United States began to
purchase silver bullion under the opera
tion Of the Bland act, TO November l,
1898 when the Sherman silver law o.
1890 ceased to be effective. the national
treasury bought 459.aO2s2 fine ounces Of
