try by helping TO elect democrats "a
office found no encouragement. On the
Pacific 9oast the fusion proposition was
met itHs*4t3ftter opposition and seems
unlikely Is be accepted. In Indiana
the p6pulists, in their state convention,
not only rejected the proposition, but
went to the extent of displacing from
the national committee one Of the
Indiana members who favored fusion
and elected a ~non-fusionist in his place.
This plan of removing fusionists from
the national committee has been re-
ceived with so much, favor by the popu.
lists in other sections OF the country
that q counter movement to prevent the
complete elimination OF fusionists from
the national committee has been begun
by the presentation of a new rule pro.
viding that members of the national
committee cannot be removed without
the approval of that committee itself.
Whether this plan will make it possible
to whip the populists into line for fusion
in the interests OF the silver cause re-
mains to be seen. Another difficulty,
and a more serious one, which the man
ayers of the proposed silver campaign
find themselves confronted is the loss of
strength of the issue in all elements OF
the community and especially among
the farmers. When wheat advanced
some months ago in the face of the
steady decline of the silver excuse was
made that it was due simply to a short
age abroad and that it did not affect the
claim that the low prices of farm prod
ucts were due to the low prices of silver
or the absence of the class of currency
which they had been urging upon the
country. But now that all classes of
farm production have, since the enact.
ment of the Dingley law and the re-
sumption of work in the factories, adj
vanced materially in price, it ia impossi-
BILE to longer assume that these adj
vances ave a mere incident, due to
sh ortages abroad, or to further utilize
the claim that the price of silver in
some mysterious way governs the price
of farm products. Even in the case of
cotton, it has been shown, as already
indicated in this correspondence, that
the low figure which it has reached is
due to an enormous increase in the pro-
duction in this country and the world,
while in other articles of farm produce
ton there has been a marked increase
in prices. These advances apply to
practically all articles produced by
farmers, and as it was among the farm
ers that the members of the silver party
made the greatest gains in 1896, they
naturally look with anxiety in attempt
ing to determine whether they will be
able to hold through fusion in support
Of silver the vote which they controlled
in that election. Not only do the ad-
vices received thus far show that they
are not going to be able to hold the pop
ulist vote, but they also show that the
silver proposition has lost greatly among
the farmers, who are not only too busy
and too prosperous to again consider it
seriously, but find in the general ad-
vance in prices an absolute refutation of
the claim that the low prices which OBJ
tanned during the existence of the low
tariff were due to the low price of silver
or the earlier discontinuance of it's coin
age.

Ever since the Cuban excitement be-
gan it has been current gossip that
Wall street and the moneyed interests
of the country are opposed to war
even at the cost of national dishonor.
We would expect such men as Boss
Hanna and Boss Platt to look to
their pockets rather than to the
honor of their country, but, when we
find Senator Spooner OF this state
Joining hands with them and voting
against the Senate resolutions, as he
did on Saturday last, we feel con-
firmed in the charges made against
him that he is the tool of the cOrpor-
ations and of the Wall Street bond
holders. To the everlasting credit of
Senator Micthell be it said that he
thought of his country and It's flag
and reflected the patriotic sentiment
of Wisconsin by casting his vote for
the Davis resolution. SpoOner and
Allison alone of the western senator's
proved themselves cravens by voting
against it. Spooner belongs to that
section of the Republican party in
this state which is responsible for the
broken pledges OF the platforms OF
1894 and 1896, and we give him Gre
dit for consistency in his political dis
honesty when he violates the pledges
of the national platform upon which
he was elected on the subject OF Gu
ban independence. If Spooner had
lived during the Revolutionary War
he would have been Tory.
