Free Trade find Silver DEAD Issues.

The election Of a republican House
of Representatives and the fact of the
next Senate's being assuredly repa5-
Iican sounds the death knell of Free
Trade and Free Silver as political is
sues, for many years. 1t is doubtful
if they viii appear again for a genera
ton at least. Indeed, the Free Silver
heresy may be considered not only as
dead but buried as well. It never
ought to have been born. 1t was not
an honest Issue. 1t proposed Writ
ual reputation Of one-half the debts
of the nation, public and private, and
therefore had no proper place among
the policies Of great party
With the question of Free Trade or
Protection it is different. That is a
fair political question concerning
which there may properly be honest
differences Of opinion, and no doubt
those ideas will sometime again strug-
gle for supremacy in the nation. So,
to the defunct 40 to II baby we
must say Last goodbye" and add
soto coce "Good radiance" but to de-
feated Free Trade it may as well be
only Inf ,otedersehn" for like the vii
liam in the play it is sure to appear
again at the first opportune moment.
But that moment cannot be expected
for at least six years. The Senate is
safely republican for the next four
years. Unless there is a very marked
change in public opinion Pres. Nc
Kinley will be reelected with but lit
tie opposition. Therefore for the
next six years agitation of the tariff
question on the For revenue only
basis is waste OF energy.
What the new issue will be is per.
haps impossible to foretell but BE- as
sured there will be an issue. Demo-
Gratis cannot be quiet. Their party is
the party Of opposition; they will fight
some republican policy. 1t is more
than likely that question growing
out of the Spanish war will furnish
the bone of contention for 1900.

exclaimed: "A coroner, Oh yes, we
must have a coroner to sit on the re-

The two questions which promise
most serious trouble in the near future
are the race conflict in the south and
the labor trouble in the north and
east. They are social and industrial,
rather than political questions but
are likely to affect politics. The re-
cent trouble in the Carolinas, illus
trates anew the power and persistence
of race prejudice. Two different
races cannot intermingle andliye con-
tentedly in social and politica equal
ity. Between them there is an ire
pressble canilict. Each win seek to
subdue and control the other. The
gradual colonization of the negroes,
by encouraging their emigration to
some of new colonial possessions, or
their concentrations in some of the
southern states of which they shall
have political control and the natural
ly resulting removal of the whites
from those states is possible solu-
ton of the vexatious question. II
would seem that the relations between
capital and labor ought to be made
most cordial in these times of restored
prosperity If employers will share
fairly with the employed by paying
liberal wages. but the outlook is not
entirely encouraging. though it has
frightened perceptibly in the last two
weeks
