DEAD AS A DUcAT.

Our amiable contemporary, the West
Side Broad Axe has just made some
what extraordinary announcement 1t
has. declared that the silver issue is
dead.
From the lips of our associate this is
truly a mournful confession; for there
never was more persistent or sincere
adherent of the defunct silver propagan-
da. There are other things which our
shining friend desires to see substituted
in the place and stead Gas the lawyers
say of the free silver idea Just what
they are is not now of much moment.
least that will find, IT, indeed, they have
not already found as secure a resting
place as that to which our contemporary
consigns it's pet political fad.
The Broad Axe has always been con-
sistently socialistic and populistic. Not
all the local philosophers and literary
artists who help to adorn it's columns
would dare to avow either soc;alistie or
Populistic doctrines. But the paper itself
has been unshrinking in its advocacy of
its avowed principles
Notwithstanding the great devotion of
the Broad Axe to it's opinions it is not
always quite plain that the polished blade
itself always reflects it's true opin-
ions. What. for instance, has our
distinguished socialistic friend been do
ing when it has stood for the free s liver
idea? Why, preaching heresy. Why has
it preached heresy unconsciously? Be
cause of it's having gone abroad seeking
out false gods
Good judges insist that silver has no
real place in the Populistic programme;
that it is an excrescence, intro 1uced there
through the desperate efforts of the late
Mr.. Bland of Missouri, and the early and
often Mr. Bryan of Nebraska; that the
peoples money!" according to the Pop
uIistic ideal is the greenback, and that
metallic money, whether white or yellow,
is an abomination ~
However this may be, there can be no
doubt that silver money is in no sense
or degree acceptable to any true social
ist. The socialist has as little regard for
the silver king as for the gold. Monop-
oily is his pet aversion. Herrcares not
whether it is silver or gold which has
a monopoly of the quality Of Being a
monetary metal, nor whether they are
foreigners or mere struggling native syn
dicates which have control of the exist
ing supply of metallic money All are
alike the spawn of ignorance and devil
try In the esteem of the true socialist
Whether it is the soc. a1'st Or the Popu-
list lobe of the brain of our contempt
rary, if, indeed, they be distinct which
now condemns the free silver issue to
death, it is at least gratifying to observe
the great and pcrtentous fact itself that
an accepted Populistic oracle of@the high
est caste, like our contemporary, has
finally accepted the inevitable on the
free silver humbug. go -
