Here are two propositions laid down
by the Democratic Philadelphia Record
that are indisputablc. They are not
original propositions, but are valuable
and should be kept constantly in mind
by the workingmen OF this country:
First The countries which have for
years past been practically snld standard
countries are the countries In which the
highest wages are paid to labor.
Second. The countries which have
but recently adopted the gold standard,
or which still cling to the silver stand
ard, are countries In which the wages
of labor are lowest and the condition of
workingmen most AFFECT" \, 81
These are simple facts that outweigh
all the theories concerning the benefits
Of a silver standard to the wage work.

and paint in graphic colors the beauties
OF a silver standard, but they cannot
overcome the truth OF these statements
which only: need investigation. the ma

their confirmation.

Several days ago the Intelllgenscrs
Washington dispatches told OF Con-
gresham Dayton's efforts to have one
OF the new battleships named West
Virginia" and OF the encouragement he
had received from the navy department
10. hope that the suggestion would re-
celve favorable consideration. Mr..
Dayton's position on the house commit
tee on naval affairs gives him influence
at the department. The movement
which has been started by the Ohio
county commissioners looking to a con-
certed effor. on the part OF all sections
OF the state to aid In the matter. and to
further the cause before the naval au-
thoritics, has me, with a ready endorse
ment by the citizens. A systematic
movement OF this character should be
effected and the Ohio county promoters
have gone about the matter in the right
way. their action being seconded last
night by the Wheeling board OF educa-
tlon, u
Mr.. Dayton having already brought
the suggestion before the secretary of
the navy. this voluntary action on the
part of the board Of county commission
ers. yesterday will bring to the attention
OF the secretary the fact that he repre-
sen,s public deere IN the state that
West Virginia should have the honor.
Other counties will doubtless take SINH
lar action. and the entire Yves, Virginia
delegation in Congress will join with the
Second district representative in urging
that such a recognition of West Virginia
be granted. No. state Is more deserving.

moral freedom must go hand in hand
with the physical and mental. Accord

men have 5ecn close observers of the
effort. Her attempt to make 1t appear
that the attitude Of this country is re-
sponsible for the failure thus far is as
weak and as cowardly as 1t ls possible tn

miuietration has given her every. oppor-
tuni.y to make a thorough test OF the
policy.
Autonomy as Spain has conceived 1t
for Cuba has been a wonderful thing OF
many sides, and her suggestion now Of
an improved plan will doubtless be re-
ceived with Indifference. A writer on
the subject in the New York Press says
he is irresistably reminded OF the parody
in which the account of the noble Hia-
