panic whenever they please? The
farmer is no better off than in 90
because, while there may be slight
advance in his products, other things
have advanced under trust control,
in greater proportion, and it takes
more of the farmers products to buy
almost any farm necessity than it dld
in '96 and the Tribune cannot deny
it Is that n relief? The farmers
of North Idaho are pleading with the
railways for a special low rate on
wheat or they are ruined. How does
that speak for gold prices, even with
famine bolstering them up? Do we
need silver and an increased ratio of
money to property? Yes, the vol
ume of money must be increased be-
fore conditions can naturally and
permanently be improved, and there
is no visible source to get an AIDE
quate increase of metallic money to
meet future needs without the re-
storation of silver.
The Tribune is certainly in most
piliable plight, and, with all its act
ing the Pharasee when brought to
bar, its old time friends feel sorry
for it in its degeneracy.

of gold upon us was the bined
work of sinister influences on both
sides of the sea, and so preached
with all its power.
The Tribune asks:
Will it say that the land is filled with
idle men; that the products of factory
and farm leave no margin of profit to the
producer; that the volume of money must
be increased before there can be any
change for the better, and that there is no
visible source from which such increa Sc
can come except through the remoneti u
alton of silver?
The Independent will undoubtedly
tell the Tribune that if men are en-
ployed it is because of events which
have no connection with the argu-
ments in favor of double standard
and promise no permanent relief
from the evils of gold alone. In
1896 the money was boarded and
stored to make the people think that
capital was afraid of Mr.. Bryan, the
banks were pressing the panic button
to force the voters into line, and that

SELF-GOVERNMENT IN CUBA.

The early fall will witness a striking
experiment in Cuba. 1t is now under
stood that September Is has been ayaa
upon as the date for holding elections
throughout the island for delegates 10 a
constitutional convention, to be called to
formulate an organic law providing an
independent government for the inhahl-
tants of the island. If this plan be car.
ried out it will mean that while the elec.
toral campaign in the United States is
at its height the question as to the form
of government to be established for Cuba
will be in process OF solution in that is
land. OF course, whatever form of gov.
eminent shall be adopted by the people
will not be of itself II finalty. 1t must
be made satisfactory to the government
of the United States or it will not be nut
into force. The people of the United
States. through their constituted author
ties, reserve the right to decide whether
the new constitution is or is not republic.
an in form, and until it satisfies that
requirement it cannot be regarded as
having any basis of validity. OF course,
after having guaranteed to the people
of Cuba a stable government, the United
States authorizes cannot allow govern
ment to be set up which is not stable
Neither can they permit the organization
of system of government which would
give the inhabitants of the island or Their
representatives free rights of internation-
al intercourse which in their exercise
might seriously embarrass the govern
ment of the United States.
The above is taken from Brad
streets, the leading financial journal
of New York and very close to the
present administration, and any pol
icy mentioned by this journal is gen.
orally authentic. Reading the ar
tlcle one is forced to the conclusion
that Cuban autonomy will be some
thing after the methods of a certain
tavern keeper who, on the arrival OF
a guest, would order the hostler in a
loud voice to 'Fgive his horse big
feed of oats" then in a lower tone
aside, cite him so he can't reach

any margin for himself. How is he
benefited? The pony behind the
barn may bring little more because
the bicycle is losing some of its
prestige and it is becoming the fash
ion again in the middle east states
for everyone to own saddle pony,
which makes somewhat of demand:
the red steer down in the pasture
will bring a little more because a
dozen years of low prices caused the
cattle supply to fall below normal
while mouths to feed were increas-
ing and there had to be a change. re-
CARELESS of oppressive influences, and
then the moving of great armies calls
for an unusual amount of beef: but
the increase of both no more than
meets the rise in stoves, wire and
nails. The land will bring no more
because there has not been an ade-
quate supply of metallic money plac-
ed on the opposite side of the worlds
scales. The products of the land
will not advance the farmers financial
ability beyond what it always must
be until silver is restored. There is
absolutely no proof that agriculture
is safe for a moment and there has no
general marked benefits accrued in
any way that can be demonstrated.
