As to the claim that the Republicans
object to being driven by Democrats,
what nonsense. There were $50 Rep
reseutatives afraid of being driven by
1919? Why did they not lead them
selves. They have been given every
chance. The attempt to make this a
political matter is disgraceful. The
Democrats have not done it. sIn Con-
gress and throughout the country the
Democrats and Populists have forgot
ten for the time that they were Demo
Gratis and Populists, in the face of the
foreign foe. When the President
asked for so, 100000 the Democrats
and Populists cheerfully acquiesced in
giving it 10 him. Democrats and Pop
ulists everywhere urged the President
to lead on and they would follow.
There was no politics in this. 1t was
American citizenship. There Is no
true American spirit among the man
ayers of the gold standard crew. Our
country's flag inspires no poetry in
them. National honor, human lives,
are nothing. And when men who have

we can but exclaim:
''In spite of rock and tempest's roar,
In spite of false lights on the shore,

Patriotism In Politics.

President McKinIey's attitude toward
Spain has aroused a storm of popular
indignation throughout the country.
His heartless disregard of the cries of
SPANS starving victims in Cuba and
his remarkable expression of conf
dence in the honor and sense of justice
of a nation which has cOnclusively
shown itself to be utterly without
either, were received by the American
public with astonished and indignant
surprise. Everywhere men asked one
another what it meant; what was the
President thinking of? The answer
was unavoidable. 1t was plain that
thePresident had yielded to the element
that most contributed to his elevation
to the Presidency-the money chang
ers, the mOnopOlists, the bond fnan-
ciers. They had insisted all along
there must be no war. 1t was known
that they had controlled the President
they had controlled him N this also
He had delivered over to the men to
whom he had mortgaged his own
honor, the honor of the American peo-
pie also.
But the people turned hopefully to
Congress. Surely their chosen repre-
sentatives would not tolerate the Pres
ident's trifling. The American people
looked for instant action, of a sort to
bring the President to his senses and
set the United States right before the
world. In this, however, the people
had been previously disappointed.
The same power that controlled Presi-
dent Mckinley have immense influence
with the whole Republican contingent
at Washington. Unfortunately for
civilization, unfortunately for the good
name of the United States and most
unfortunately of all, for the wretched
people Spain is butchering and starv-
the majority in Congress.
After waiting in vain for Republican |
action a resolution was offered by the |
Democratic leader of the House of Rep |
reseutatives, recognizing the independ- |
ence of Cuba. This resolution was
received with cheers from the seats of |
spectators and from the ranks of silver |
on the floor, and some even of the Re- |
publicans Endorsed the sentiment. But |
the Republican party whip was crack
ed. The representatives of the money
clique pulled the strings. And with
two exceptions, two honorable excep-
tions, Representatives Acheson and
Robins of Pennsylvania, the Republi
cans voted solidly against Cuba,
against even the chance of war, in
favor of further persistence in the
procrastinating policy dictated through
the White House. Every silver mans
vote was registered for freedom and
against Spain. But there were not
enough of these votes. The Demo
Gratis. Populists and silver Republicans
could master but 139. Their oppo-
nents had $50. The people of Cuba
must continue to starve. The Spanish
license to pillage and murder was
given another extention.
Aud now, to explain this disgraceful
triHing, what do the Republican lead
ers and newspapers say? Why, that
the Republicans refuse to act for Cuba
because the Democrats sought to drive
them to it. In their own good time
the Republicans will act, the people
are told, but, in heavens name, when?
Has there not been whole year for
action since the Republican party as

CLAM0RlNG FOR WAR.

There is some clamoring among the peo'
pie for immediate war with Spain. Those
persons who urge such a course have not
taken time to consider the dreadful cost,
both in life and property, that war always
brings. The cruel atrocities Of the Span
iards to the suffering Cubans are well cal
culated to awaken such deep sympathy
among men as to make them less careful
in talk and action. Our people are so
much provoked by Spanish treachery and
braggadocio that theywill willingly respond
to call from the Administration at any
moment, even if it should be for the ILL
vasion of Spain. The great mass of the
American public, however, has kept calm
and is in sympathy with President Nc
Kinley in his efforts to give, if possible,
pe aceful solution to the strained situation.
Only a few persons have any liberation for
that class of journals or citizens who assail
the Administration for what they call its
"peace at any price policy"
The sensationalists or jingoes only make
themselves ridiculous and contemplate
when they try to create the impression
that the President would permit the dig
nifty of our Government to be improp-
erly assailed or its honor furnished.
His admirable GOODNESS and management
of the negotiations with Spain are excit-
ing the favorable comment of the leading
men of other nations. He wants no use
less or unholy war, neither do the well
thinking, Christian people of this country
desire 1t. 1t may come, however, and ifit
does, the Administration and the people
will be full of that patriotism that has ever
inspired the American citizen when it be-
came necessary for our country to take up
arms.

SUBSIDIARY SILVER COIN.

There are Ill, 513, 746 fine ounces Of sill
yer bullion, purchased under the
Sherman Law, uncoined in the vaults Of the
Treasury. Representative c. w. Stone,
of Pennsylvania, who is chairman of the
Committee on Coinage, Weights and
Measures, has reported from that commit
tee bill which provides for the coinage OF
this idle bullion into alfdollars, quarters
and dimes. Strange to say the Free Silver
members of the committee have presented
a minority report which opposes the
recommendations of the majority report
and demands that all the silver bullion in
the Treasury shall be coined into standard
dollars.
Since the repeal of the Sherman law,
which was November LIST 1898, $37, 1885,
572 standard silver dollars have been
coined and the total amount of such dol
lars is $45S, 1OO,947. Of this vast amount
of silver currency not more than one
eight is in actual circulation, the balance
being deposited in the Treasury vaults and
represented by Government notes which
the Treasury is forced to keep on parity
with gold.
If the uncoined bullion was made into
subsidiary money it would add about $780,
600 900 dollars TO the circulating medium
of the country. 1t would go out among
the people and remain permanently in
the channels of trade. Any man Of COM
mon sense must see that the proposition
of Mr.. Stone would be a useful currency
reform, while the contention of the free
silver men that the bullion shall be coined
into silver dollars would bring no relief.
There is now an excess of standard dol
lars and a dearth of subsidiary coin.
When an intelligent scheme is proposed
for utilizing the immense mass Of bullion

There will be no strike Of any kind in
the coal industry in this country for at
least a year. The last chance tor disagree
ment between miners and operators was
removed by conference held in Column
bus last week, in which five States partici-
pated. A uniform day wage scale for in
side work was adopted, which will be in
effect until April l, 1899, and as it was
agreed upon unanimously there seems to
be no possibility for any general disturb
ance to occur while it remains in force.
Even the Hooking Valley mines, where
trouble usually is looked for first, appear
to be entirely satisfied with the new ar
rangement. There is room for congratula-
ton in the fact that the general labor
world will not be disturbed this year by a
strike in the coal industry, but there is
further cause for rejoicing in the fact that
the workmen engaged in this industry are
to receive a substantial increase in wages
all along the line.

Some of the more intelligent papers in

Mr.. Bryan's recent tour in that section,
to suggest to him certain questions bear
Ing on he relation Of the price OF silver
to commodities, which the Nebraska
statesman found it convenient to treat
with dgnifed silence.
From the date when Mr.. Bryan was
nominated, in July, 1896, to March 10
of the present year, silver dropped from
69.2 to 54.3 per ounce. This drop of 10
cents in silver should have carried with
it corresponding decline in the price OF
agriculture products, if MIR. Bryan's
theory is correct. But between the same
dates wheat rose from 63.5 to $l.O6.5 per
bushel, mess pork from $7.75 to $lO,75
per barrel, and wool, Ohio y, from II to
% cents per pound.
IfMr. Bryan was right in the predic-
tons in which he freely INDUCED during
the campaign of 1896, the condition of the
South should now be one of deep depres-
sion. So far from that, it isone of marked
improvement, high prices for farm pro-
ducts and increased industrial activity.
During last year thirty-seven new cotton
mills we're erected in the Southern States,
and during the last eight years the num-
Der of such mills has nearly doubled and
the capital invested in them has more than
doubled. Mr., Bryan has claimed that the
lower price of cotton was connected with
the decline in silver; but he is met on that
point by the fact that from lS49 to 1871,
during which silver was practically station
ary. the fluctuations in cotton were enor-
nous, and that the fall in price since 1872
mas been coincident, not with the changes
in silver, but with the cotton production,
which has nearly quadrupled in that
period.
These facts and others like them play
havoc with Mr.. Bryan's theories, and he
does we'll to pay little attention to them.

AS the world wags these days, events do
not encourage the Bellamyites, whether
they look forward or backward. Most of
the communistic schemes started few
years ago, when the Bellamy craze was at
its height, have died natural death.
Planning on paper is one thing, working
out scheme with human factors is an
other. And then, before the Bellamyites
could use them to point moral, the older
sectarian separatist experiments began to
give up the ghost. Troubles in Shaker
communities and among the Economists at
Economy, Pa, have just been followed by
the proposal to dissolve the communistic
sect at Zoan, o., as its members have out
grown its methods just as its methods have
failed to meet modern conditions and sat-

In a few years, unless all signs fail,
actual experiments in communism will be
mere matter of record, unless the insane
vagaries of Kolesh or the quarreling claims
of rival Theosophic bands or the bump
tious paper communities of Debs effect re-
suits, which seems altogether unlikely.
And it is unlikely, because, as is the case
at Zoan, the wooden, deadening commun-
istic monotony of life and thought is only

That they lasted so long is a tribute to the

religion beliefs, which, as is seen in the
case of the Amish and the Shakers, keep

by the material advancement OF the
country.
The failure of these peculiar associations,

BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.
Very Satisfactory Increase in the Pro-
duct.

1t is gratifying to be able to note, writes
DR.. Vail, in the Journal of the Franklin
Institute, tile steady growth of the beet
sugar manufacture, which after numerous
efforts in the past now appears to be not
only firmly founded, but to be assured of
a rapid growth. At the close of last year
there were in operation in the United
States nine factories, as follows; Rome,N.
Y, daily capacity 200 tons of beets; Lehi,
Utah, $50 tons; Norfolk, Neb., $50 tons;
Grand Island, Neb., $50 tons: Alvarado,
CAL, 500 tons, and jacksonville, Cal, 1000
tons. The Spreckles interests are engaged
in building at Salinus, CAL, factory hay
ing 5000 tons daily capacity and a dozen
other new factories in California, Wiscon-
sin, Kentucky, Iowa and Indiana are pro-
jected. This industry, perhaps more than
any other except the chemical industries,
is dependent upon skilled scientific super
intendence for its successful development,
and the circumstance that American capt.
talsts are still largely dependent on for
eigners for the machinery and superin-
tendence demanded in the business has
proved thus far a serious obstruction.

OUR NAVAL RESOURCES.
The Policy of Fostering Merchant Ship
ping INDICATED.
Boston "Journal" (Rep.l !

Boston journal" (Rep0l
Our naval resource of the United States
which is developing unexpected strength
in this emergency is the reserve fleet OF
merchant cruisers" Already it is said
that the names of about 200 vessels of this
useful type have been entered on the pre-
liminary rolls of the Navy Department.
In the War of the Rebellion several
hundred merchant steamers, most of them
wooden crafts of what would now be small
dimensions, were transferred by purchase
to the navy. They were, of course, by no
means so efficient as regularly-built men,
of-war, but they bore their pant in battle
and blockade. Contrary to popular i'm
preston that the merchant marine is
"dead," there are now many more excel
lent seagoing merchant steamers available
for the naval service than the United
States possessed in 1S6l-62. Of course,
now, as then, these merchant cruisers are
by no means equal, ship for ship, to YES
sells which have been originally designed
and built for fighting, but there are great
many duties which these auxiliary cruisers
can satisfactorily perform, and their value
will be all the better appreciated because
they are an "unsespected asset" as it
were-that is, they have not been COM
monty reckoned among our naval re.
sources.
1t is perfectly justifable here to point
out that these merchant cruisers" are
the logical product of national policy of
protection, which has given moderate sub
sides to American mail ships in foreign
commerce and has absolutely excluded
foreign vessels from our coasting trade.

THE Kentucky Legislature has passed
an election law that is even more iniqui'

that is saying a good deal. The Virgins
law was taken as a model and enlarged
upon. Gov. Bradley vetoed the measure
but it was passed oyer his veto, the free
silver Democrats being resolved that they
would carry the State by fraud in 1900, il
they could not carry it otherwise. Verify
the Southern States are becoming the
