Senator Chandler is getting almost as
daft on silver as Bryan himself. In the
last issue of the Concord Monitor he has
signed editorial attributing the re-
duction of wages in the New England
cotton mills TO the fall of prices conse-
quent upon the demonstration OF silver.
The manufacturers themselves attribute
it to the competition Of Southern mills
which get their labor and raw material
cheaper than is possible in New England.
Their opinion would seem to be quite
as trustworthy on this point as Senator
Chandler's. But even assuming MIR.
Chambers view of the cause to be correct
what remedy can he offer? Bimetallism
which he mentions, can only be attained
by international agreement and our
monetary commission has just demon
strated that that is impossible. Instead
of drifting toward bimetallism the world
is drifting away from it. If he would
recommend the free coinage of silver by
the United States alone then he stands
with Bryan and the free silverites and
into their ranks he should go.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

The Protestant Faith. Or Salvation by
Belief. By Dwight Hinckley Olmstead.
Thirds Edition, with an Introduction on
The Limitations Of Thought. New York
and London: G. p. Putnam's Sona;
Portland: Loring, Short & Harmon. J
The main thesis of this author is that be-
liefs are involuntary, and therefore irro-
sponsible. We believe what the evidence,
as we see it, compels us to believe. The
real purpose is to show that religious
tests Of this kind are inadnissible, and
should be set aside in favor Of character
and good living.
Almost contemporaneous with the pub
location of this essay, Prof. Jane of Har-
ward College, published an essay to prove
that our beliefs are more Jor less moral
and accountable, because on all questions
affecting duty and Divine obligations
we are greatly infiuerhed by our feelings
and passions. This was the view of the
late Cardinal Newman. His contention
was that men !sS|wayed by interests, preju-
ce and PASSIONS, need a higher guild
ance to Lead their feet into peaceful
paths.

| The Ten Laws. A Foundation for HUI
man Society. BY Edward Beecher Mason,
Minister of 1.-The Church Oh the Hill, -
Brunswick, Me. New York: A. ID. T.
Randolph Company We can commend
this volume of sermons for several rea-
sons. They were preached and published
by one of Maines ministers, who worth
lily fills the pulpit Of Bowdoin. No sub
| iect could be more suited to students at
their impossible age, giving q right di-
rection to their thoughts and actions.
And not to our youth only will they
prove profitable, but are equally adapted
to all ages, and all sorts and conditions
| of men. Personal religion has often been
| altogether too emotional, practical duties
| being relegated to the rear, as not worthy
Of comparison with feeling. 1t is quite
| time that more stress should be laid on
righteous living. Keeping the Com
mandments is the first duty, not only of
every Christian, but of every man.
We are happy to add that DR.. Mason s
sermons present this aspect of the sub
| iect in an earnest, eloquent and forcible
manner. They are not long enough tc
| be tedious, nor too brief to be impressive
and instructive. 1t is to he hoped that
they will have a wide circulation and
careful reading.

The Spanish Senator Pidal accuses the
United States + of abandoning the
Monroe doctrine in the case of Hayti.
Iha6 goes t9/show that he is as ignorant
what tie Monroe doctrine really Is as q
good many Americans who talk about It,
No doctrine ever enunciated by Mr.
Munroe or any other American statesman
of repute ever put upon this country the
obligation Of actirg the part Of big broth
er to all the republics to the south of us
and protecting them from the proper
consequences Of their inselenoe. The
Monroe doctrine obligates US simply te
prevent the encroachment of European
powers upon this continent. When Ger
many OF England undertakes to take
possession of territory on this continent
or to interfere with any existing form Of
government and we sit by and see it done
then we can fairly be accused of aban.
doning the Monroe doctrine.

The publication of the pension rolls as
a h'medy for fraudulent pensions would,
according to MIR. Murphy, who was form
erly connected with the pension depart
ment be likely to prove worse than the
disease. The rolls were published in
1888, and according to this authority, not
a single pensionsr was dropped on account
of it. On the contrary, it proved a
bonanza for the pension attorneys who by
means of 1t were able to hunt up and
put i'll numerous claims for increases
Mr.. Murphy believes that if the negJs.

EChairman Walker of the Banking and

pass Congress which will reduce the pres
ent volume of government paper money
which is saying that neither the Gage

doubt it is true also that no radical re-
form of the currency in any direction can
be expected from this Congress.

The expected is happening. All the
cotton mills are reducing wages to con-
form to the prices fixed by the Fall River
managers. 1t is greatly to be regretted
that this reduction had to be made, but
of course after Fall River reduced the
other mills had to choose betw y4n lower
ing wages or shutting down. The latter
policy would have been much more
severe on the operatives than the former,
and they ought to be thankful that il
was not resorted TO.
