CRIME OF SE ENN-THREE ExpIaTED


 CRIME OF SE ENTY-THREE ExPIATED
 For the benefit of those free silver
 editor agitators in Arizona, particu-
 larly, the following editorial from the
 Indianapolis Sentinel is published.
 The Journal-Miner has for some time
 been engaged in trying to lift the
 editors of its democratic contempo- rarics from the darkness and gloom of
 the dead past, into the light and
 cheer of the living, prosperous pres ent. It has been answered by shouts of "McHannaizsd press" and other
 equally intelligent? epithets. While
 these benighted brethren of a lost
 cause have not given heed to the
 words of encouragement which we have profered, they may accept the same truths when presented by the apostles of their own faith, such as
 Towne, Newlands, Warner and the editor of the paper mentioned above.
 Here is what the Sentinel has to say:
 "The editor of The Sentinel has been bimetallist ever since the coin age question came to the front in 1878. He gave the casting vote in
 
 1S9Oas chairman of the platform com mittee of the democratic state conven- tion of Indiana in favor of a free coin age resolution. He maintains now that under the conditions which ex isted then and for some years later the demand for free coinage was logi- cal and rational, and he believes that the country as wholew would be better of today had that demand prevailed. But the evil which it was meant to heal has been cured by other methods. There is an abundant supply of pri- mary money. The curse of an appre- ciating dollar no longer exists. Prac tically all the public and private indebtedness now existing was contracted under the present ent monetary standard. The busi- ness of the world has adjusted itself to the actual coinage system of this country and Europe. There is today | no reason for agitating the silver question. What there may be in the future The Sentinel will not venture to predict. It is not the prophet nor the son of a prophet. It takes condi- tions as it finds them and tries to deal with them as they are, not as they have been or as they may be in the future. But for the relief which has come to the country since 1896 from the increased supply of gold which is recognized by Bryan, Towne, Newlands, Warner and pretty much all the silver leaders-the silver ques- tion would have been with us today, and even more imperative than in 1896. The Sentinel, like Mir. Bryan, believes in an honest dollar and staple dollar. A staple dollar is al ways an honest dollar. The dollar now in use has not appreciated for years. It has rather deprecated. So far as the coinage question is con cerned, the situation is satisfactory for the time being. The country has obtained relief, not from the repub- , lican party, nor from the democratic party, but from God Almighty"
 or course it would not be consistent for democratic paper to concede any credit for anything to the republican party, and the admission of the pres ent condition of affairs as given above, is change of base from the usual calamity howl which proceeds from the partisan press of democracy generally. Will not our democratic brethren accept of ard admit present [ conditions, even though, like the editor of the Sentinel, they give 7; the credit to God Almighty, and quit z trying longer to deceive their readers?
