EDITORIAL COMMENT.

The Oil City Blizzard very peril

tests unmistakable evidences of an
upward tendency. Some Of the
parties who have been lukewarm

The fact that the Republican
party is responsible for all the
benefits which the beet-sugar in
Iustry has ever received, and is
known to be notoriously favorable

production Of American sugar for

the Administrations policy Of

will result disastrously to beet

so strongly marked is this new de-

such papers as the Philadelphia
American, edited by Wharton
Barker, and the Caucasin, of Raj
eigh n. c., owned by Senator
Marion Butler, Chairman Of the
Populist National Committee, are
predicting that the democratic
party in 1900 will swing back to
5he gold standard.
-
The Labor Commissioner of New
York has destroyed another idol
of the silver Worshippers. IN his
report just published he shows that
the farmers OF that State are COM
planning bitterly of the reduction
in the price of their farms, not in
1873, the year Of the "crime," nor
in the years Immediately following
it. but in 1898, and the succeeding
years which the free-trade crime"
began its work, when the people
elected a free-trade Congress and
President He says specifically
that the complaints of the farmers
are that their farms have been
reduced from 80 to 75 per cent. in
value during the past five or six
years-not during the past twenty
five or six years.

Representative Bailey, the leader
of the democratic party in the
House of Representatives, recently
made a speech at Richmond which
is looked upon as an auguration of
the Congressional campaign in 1898
and incidentally a sort Of feeler for
The 1900 campaign. He endorsed
free silver and the Chicago platform
generally, and indicated pretty
frankly his adhearance to Mr..
Bryan as the Presidential candi-
date for the party in the next cam
paign. Let's see. Isn't this Mr..
Bailey the same who in 1896, made
a speech in his own Congressional
district saying that he could not en-
dorse Mr.. Bryan or his theories
and did not agree with many of
the principles laid down in the
Chicago platform And isn't
ne the same Mr.. Bailey who
got very sore throat when he
went to Illinois TO make speeches
for Bryan and found the same
Texas speech being scattered broad
cast over the State.

If one could go to he'd and stop
there for two whole days the moment
one felt cold coming ON, having at
the same time plenty of good and

really worthless. Though a man may
go to Brighton for cold, or indeed
for nothing, he must not go to bed
for one. Meantime it may or may not
be consolation, according to mems
temperments, to know that, if we
dared use it, there is this remedy even
