Oh, what a curious place the world Is, and what a number of things are found out a fresh in it!

There is this difference between those two temporal blessings, health and money: Money is the most envied, but the least enjoyed; health is the moat en Joyed, but the least envied; and this superiority of the latter is still more obvious when we reflect that the poor est man would not part with health for money , but that the richest would glad ly part with all their money for health.

THAT IS WHY THE SILVER CAUSE WON'T DOWN. j The Contest Now On In the Eighteenth Illinois District A Fair Indication of the Strength of the Patriotic Senti ment for Bimetallism. Ex-Congressman Edward Lane, of Montgomery county, 111., has been nom inated for congress by the democrats of the Eighteenth district on the 235th ballot. Lane is a red-hot free-silver man. The platform adopted is in per fect harmony with his views. With out a dissenting voice the convention declared for the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the co-operation of any other na tion. Friends of the administration had been working throughout the dis trict to secure delegates who would fa vor the reaffirmation of the plank of 1S92, but when the free-silver resolu tion was offered today there was not a voice against it. The gold press of the country, emu lating the boy whistling in the grave yard, is proclaiming in large type that the "silver craze is dead." Well, if it is dead, why can the corpse not be per mitted to rest in peace? But fortun ately for the country the issue of re storing silver, which is never met save by the application to it of sneering epi thets and feeble attempts at wit, is not dead, and never will be until the issue is settled in accordance with the prin ciples of eternal justice. This can only be done by a perfect re-establiEhment of the monetary system that without a shadow of an excuse was changed in 1873. So far as the silver cause has lost ground at all during the last two years, it has been 'simply owing to the fact that Mr. Cleveland has been president of the United States. Combining an arrogant, dictatorial disposition with an unyielding hostility to silver, the whole power of his administration has been brought to bear to force a change In the attitude of the democratic party upon the question. Acting in conjunction with what is commonly termed the "money power," it has, of course, had its effect. Noth ing but administration pressure made the repeal of the "Sherman law" pos sible. Only a few days before the re peal Senator Gorman frankly admitted in open senate that up to a very recent date the friends of repeal had not dared to close the debate because they were in a minority and would have suffered defeat if the question had come to a vote. The administration had not made a sufficient number of converts. But the song of the "cuckoo" began to be heard, and finally the law was re pealed. Since then the "cuckoo" has sung In almost every democratic state convention, packed as it has been with federal office-holders. But the admin istration can not last forever, and the political "cuckoo" can scarcely outlive the administration which gave him birth. The silver question involves the same principles that it always has. It Is Just the same now as it was in 1890, when 127 democrats out of about 145 in the house of representatives and every democratic senator but four voted for the free coinage of silver, and when a bill of that character passed the senate by 17 majority after a most thor ough and exhaustive discussion. The dispatches given above show that there is not only a strong leaven of silver sentiment in the ranks of the Ohio democracy, but that it is active, earnest and aggressive. In Illinois it is undeniably the dominant power in the ranks of the democracy, and the adoption of a free silver resolution by the Eighteenth district convention without a single dissenting vote, is In the highest degree significant. There is in fact a vast amount of silverism In all parties and In all states, and those who are now so vociferously shouting, "It is dead! It is dead!" will ere long be brought face to face with the fact that, like the corpse at "Fin- negan's Wake," it 13 taking a very pro nounced part in the political fight. Exchange. "WHY I FAVOR FREE SILVER.' The Editor of "Money ???? Tells Why He Believes In 16 to 1. Because I am a bimetallist, believing that silver should be restored to a po sition of equality with gold as a money metal, having its relative value fixed by law and having the same recognition at the mints as gold. Because I believe that the experience of centuries has proved the adaptability and advantage of the double standard. Because I do not think that the experience of the past twenty years shows any improve ment in the condition of this country, or of the world, as a result of adopting a single gold standard far from it. Because I believe the world had none to much money when both were legally recognized on equal footing, and that there has not been more than half enough since one was delegalized. Be : cause the demonetization of silver has increased the demand for gold, causing i an appreciation in its value which 1 makes it exchangeable for double the quantities of other property. Because that appreciation is to the advantage of the wealthy class and a great detri ment to the poorer masses, and because I believe that silver demonetization was brought about with a deliberate pur pose and intent to benefit the money lender and security holder. Because I believe the production of silver is a leading American industry, deserving the fostering and protecting care of the government I am a republican protec tionist. Because I believe that the in tent expressed in the original adoption of the gold standard by England was to increase and perpetuate the power of the government; that it has fully ac complished that purpose to the preju dice of other nations, ours among the number, and that it is a policy Inimical to the best interests of our own people I am an American and favor an American policy. Because the effect of the single gold standard is to com pel the payment of twice the amount of debt justly due to the holders and manipulators of the world's gold, and the par value of that debt Is already about one-half the assessed value of all the property of the country. Be cause the continuance of the gold standard policy is transfering to silver- using nations so large a proportion of our manufacturing interests as to seri ously cripple American prosperity, and when these industries become firmly established, as. they will by the continuance of this policy, Americans can never wrest from these nations our lost trade. Witness Japan, China and Mexico. There are many other reasons. These ought to be sufficient to justify my belief Charles W. Greene, in Chicago Mail and Press. Easier Aked Than Answered. Why was silver demonetized? Who knows? Who were the beneficiaries? Who can tell? Why was a prosperous industry crip pled? Why does everybody favor bimetal lism? Why do some who favor it oppose it? Why does everybody admit demone tization was wrong? Why do so many of them assent to its continuance? Why, if it was wrong, can it not be put right? Who stands in the way of it, and why? Who is running this country any how? Who are they running it to benefit? Why should the English banker be more favored than the American silver miner? Why should the United States gov ernment stand in with the English men? Why do bankers assume the average citizen has no sense? Why does the average citizen submit to such an assumption. These are the puzzles of the period. Why? Why? Why? Why? Q. Why is the price of silver below par? A. Because a change in the law has made it so. Q. How can it be brought to par? A. By changing the law back again. Q. Is there money enough in the world? A. None, but the money-lender and his non-thinking followers will answer "yes." Q. If not, why should the production of silver be restricted in this, its great est producing country? Paralyzed industries second the ques tion, "Why?" If increase in production affects Value of silver, why should it not of gold? The world's production of gold in 1874 was $90,750,000. The world's production in 1892 was $138,860,000. The Increase in past two years has been proportionately much greater. It is because gold being the measuring commodity it is worth par always. It Is made so by law. When silver was given equal recognition, with a joint standard of measurement, there wa3 never but a slight difference betweeD the two. Money? ? ? ? Are They Sincere? The gold men say, "Oh! yes, bimetal lism is the proper thing, certainly, but we must wait for the other fellow to join hands and make it international." They know, yo know, and everybody ought to know, that we may wait until the end of time for England to assent. Its financiers labored in season and out more than half a century to effect the demonetization of silver. It was a great scoop. They got some of our great men our best citizens to see it their way, and before we knew it, they had us foul. Will they let go their hold? Did you ever see an Englishman let go of a good thing? Don't you know they've got the biggest thing they ever had control of the world's trade? Do you suppose they don't know it? "Who Can Blame England? Who will blame the Englishmen for wanting to get silver cheap, as a busi ness proposition? They command the trade with India, China, Japan and the Straits. As they can buy just as much tea, silks and other products for a dol lar In silver now as they could when It was worth par. the difference be tween its present cost, 52 cents in gold, and $1.00 in gold then, Is so much ad ditional profit. It is to be noted, how ever, that some of the business men of the "far East" have dropped into the game and are sharing the winnings. The common people there don't get much less consideration than they do here they get nothing. Ex. In Paris there is a wine shop for . every three houses. I Highest of all in Leavening Power.

There is, and there always has been, inequality in the world, in 6pite of the striving of generous hearts and enlight ened minds for equality. Although equality has never ceased to show it self, and effect itself, within the differ ent orders, and in modern times to characterize at least superficially that large composite order which we call good society, civilization is still em bruited and endangered by inequality. One need not allege instances; they are abundant in every one's experience and observation; and those who dread or effect to dread the dead level of equal ity are quite right in saying that even in a political democracy there is as much inequality as anywhere. But this does not prove that they are rigjht in admiring it, that it is not offensive and stupid. Inequality still persists, but so does theft, so does murder, so does chastity, so do almost all the sins and shames that ever were. Inequality is, in fact, the sum of them; in the body of this death they fester and corrupt forever. As long as we have inequality we shall have these sins and shames, which spring from it, and which live on from inferior to superior. Few vices live from equal to equal; but the virtues flourish. - TbcLord likes a man who says what he thinks, hut the people don't.
