The silver dobnto In the house ended
Saturday , under the nstrcomont entered
into two weeks ago , nml today voting
will begin. The llrst vote tnkon will
bo on the amendment to the repeal bill
providing for the free coinage ot silver
at the present ratio. If that is de
feated , vote * will bo taken on the pro
posal for frco coinage at an enhanced
ratio. If the house rejects the several
ratios proposed the repeal bill will then
bo voted on.
There npptmrs to bo no doubt that all
the amendments will bo rejected and
tlmt the original measure will ho
passed by n majority usttmatod at
from 00 to " 0. With the republican
vote In the house almost unanimous for
repeal , it being assumed that nt least 100
of the 12(1 ( republicans will go on record
against continuing the purchases of silver
by the government , It would seem
that the estimated majority for repeal
is none too largo. At any rate the as-
silranco of the passage of the Wilson
bill by the house appears to bo ample ,
ando can boo no reason to apprehend
a difforcnt result. With regard
to the prospect for unconditional
repeal passing the semite , however -
over , it is not so favorable. Still it is
very much bettor than it was two wcoka
ago. It in stated that the administration
claims that at least llfty votes are secure
for repeal , of which twenty-eight are
republicans and twenty-two democrats. It
Is wild thatu few of these who nro counted
on for repeal may not bo found on the
alllrnmtlvo sldo when the record Is com
pleted , but there are n number of doubt
ful men who will irmko up for any loss
that may bo sustained. Some of these
embraced In the list of repealers would
prefer to secure a substitute of some
kind for unconditional repeal , but fall
ing in this they are expected to vote
for repeal without any conditions when
that question is presented. It is believed -
lievod that the vote in the house will
have considerable influence in determin
ing that of the senate. It is confidently
assorted by the advocates of repeal that
it will have n majority in the feonato , but
if the majority in the house should bo as
largo aH is now anticipated tboro is
reason to expect that the now estimated
senate majority will -bo increased. If
repeal guts fifty votes in the senate it
will have u majority of fifteen. The ditll-
culty , however , willbcinrcnchinga vote ,
there being no such nrrangenlont in the
senate us in the house , and the
silver Senators ueem determined to pro
long tlio contest to the farthest limit.
They proclaim that it will bo impossible
to puss a measure for unconditional re
peal , and it is obvious that they are re-
lyingupou thoprivilegos.of lillbustoring ,
which are without restraint in the sen
ate. How far thebo obstinate silver sen
ators may bo influenced by public opin
ion , after the house shall have acted ,
can of course only bo n mat tor of conjec
ture ; but they will undoubtedly be sub
jected to u powerful pressure from this
sourqp , which it may bo presumed some
of them will hardly venture to ignore or
disregard.
TAH1FF UK VIS ION.
.Representative Wilson , chairman of
the ways' and means committee , 'has
stated that nothing will bo doao toward
revising the tariff during the extra ses
sion of congress beyond arranging a
plan of procedure for the committee.
Ilis idea is that congress will dispose of
thu financial question and adjourn by
the end of September , and in the two
mouths before the time for tlio regular
session of congress to begin the ways and
means committee can frame a tariff
bill and have it ready for submis
sion very early in the regular
session. It is evidently the inten
tion of Mr. Wilson to push the
work of revision ; is rapidly as it is prac
ticable to proceed with so important a
labor , but ho thinks there is no urgent
reason for beginning it during the extra
session. IIo may have to do so , however -
over , for it is by no means certain that
the end of the session will bo reached by
the close of next month. That will do
pcnd upon the senate and if the throats
of the silver senators are carried out the
extra bossion may bo prolonged until the
time for the regular session in De
cember.
Thu Industrial Interests of the
country will oaro little , however ,
about what program the ways
and moans committee shall ml opt
as to thu time of taking up the work of
tariff rovibion. All they are concerned
about is the character of the work. Of
course since the general overhauling of
the tarilT schedules is assured it is do-
siriiblo that it shall not bo delayed any
longer than possible. The uncertainty
rogardiiiL' what may bo done has already
worked n great deal of mischief and this
must continue to bo the experience
until the industrial interests of the
country know just what to expect
wnd can readjust tholr operations
to the now order of things.
At .pre&pnt nobody can say how
far congress may go in reforming
the various schedules whether the
changes will bo moderate or radical , or
whether there willbo , one policy fora
certain class of Interests nnd another
for other classes. It is true that the
country has been assured by the presi
dent , in terms gulllelontly plain , that no
tivrilT legislation is contemplated that
can destroy or seriously Injure any in
dustrial interest , and the personal
organ of the president has within a few
days repented its assuranuo that there is
no reason to apprehend any very radical
changes in the general schedules. Wo
noted u short time ago the utter
ances of another journal , avow
edly democratic and presumed to
have thu most favorable opportunity
for knowing Mr. Cleveland's vimvs on
publiu questions , iu which there was
convoyed the assurance that there is no
imminent danger to the policy of pro
tection. Indeed , Mr , Cleveland himself
took the very first opportunity after his
nomination to let the country under
stand that ho was not in complete accord
with the tariff plank of the democratic
national platform. But while there is
to bo found in all this something to relieve
lievo the fears of the industrial inter
ests , it is not suulciont to altogether
alloy apprehension. It is impossible
not to fool some distrust of the ability
of the democratic party , dominated
M It U by a section which
Is compixr.iUvely little interested In the
development and promotion of manufac
turing , jo nmko a fair nnd just revision
of the tariff , or one tlmt will not bo
practically destructive to some inter
ests. N'or can anybody bo sure that the
president will bo nblo to fully control
the party in this matter nnd have his
own views carried out. It is moro than
probuhlo that ho will be compelled to
inako some concessions to the radical
element of the party.
Everybody who is sufficiently open
minded to bo impressed by obvious facts
now understands that thn existing busi
ness depression Is not wholly duo to sil
ver purchase. " , but that feat * regarding
tlio treatment of the tarllt by the demo
cratic party has hnd no small Influence
in producing the unfortunate condition.
The knowledge of this ought to have the
olToct to induce that party to adopt n
moro conservative policy than its
national platform pledged it to adopt.
TIIK ATTIIUOH Ot' A'B
' In our part of the country wo think
the east too domineering , " says Senator
AJlon , and from the fact that Now York
is the center of the domineering faction
ho Is led further to characterize the
metropolis as no longer an American
city. Just what is necessary to canptl-
tutc an American city It isj probably im
possible for the senator or for any ono
else to say , much moro so for any ono to
say in what respects Now York has departed -
parted from the necessary requirements.
What Senator Allen means to oxpre.ss
then is his conviction that the eastern
bankers have assumed in this crisis a
position not altogether patriotic , nnd
while ho cannot profess to speak for the
entire west , yet , it must bo admitted ,
that similar charges have not been en
tirely lacking.
It has boon claimed , particularly by
Chicago bankers , who are trying
to make the most of the present condi
tions , that the attitude of Now York
toward the remainder of the country has
not been what it ought to have been.
They insistthat the New York bankers
have not only shut down upon all accotn
modations to country banks , but also
that they falsely attribute the probont
scarcity of currency nt the seaboard to
withdrawals by western bankers. A
comparison of the national bank state
ments for May -1 nnd July 12 , respec
tively , shows that while the deposits in
Now York banks decreased over $30-
000,000 , not moro than one-fifth of this
was duo to withdrawals by country bank
ers. On the other hand , the Chicago
financiers point to a greater relative
commodation afforded by their bunks to
their correspondents , and they indulge
in a prophesy very similar to that of
Senator Allen , that the dislike of Wall
btrcot engendered by the present strin
gency will not stop until Chicago has
become thu financial center of thollnitocl
States.
How far the Now York bankers deserve -
servo the censure which has thus boon
heaped upon thorn cannot bo determined
so long us our knowledge of tholr coa
duct is incomplete. To attempt a judg
ment now , before all the special circum
Stances nro known , can scarcely bo done
with fairness. The Now York banks oc
cupy a peculiar position with relation to
our banking institutions , holding prac
tically the reserves for the entire coun
try , and they have attempted to deal
with thoio reserves with every possible
precaution. It is extremely probable
that western money centers will find
themselves with increasing business at
the close of the existing depression , but
that increase need not bo at the expense
of the Now York banks. To expect the
financial center of the country to bo
shifted before the center of industry
and commerce is shif ted is a fancy rather
of the desire of the prophets than of
their sober reason.
in/U/tB DO 1IIK J-.l/MffiKS O.l/JVf
Mr. Bland , in his closing argument in
favor of his amendment to the Wilson
bill , throw himself back upon the farmers
for support in his demand for free coinage -
ago of silver without change of the
present mint ratio. IIo said that his
opponents hud failed to explain the
difficulties under which the farmer
labored in order to bring back the gold
wlilch had beqn sent to Kuropo and
which is now necessary to maintain our
present financial system. And ho left it
to bo inferred that with the inaugura
tion of free coinage at 1G to 1 those dllll-
cultios under which the farmer now
labors would inimodiutoly disappear.
Wo all know that the price of exported
agricultural produce Is fixed in the
British markets. How will free ooinago
affect this ? Will it enable the farmer
to secure moro gold or moro manufac
tured products in exchange for his com
modities ? The ability of the foreigner
to buy American wheat cannot bo ma
terially altered by a ploco of internal
legislation in thin country. The farmer
cannot souuro a dollar of any kind , gold ,
silver or paper , except in exchange for
his own produce. When the free silver
men say that tholr measure will mine
thu price of all articles and then insist
that it will bring the market ratio of the
two metals into conformity with the
mint ratio , they flatly contend lot them
selves. If free colmigo rubes prices it
will do so only by lowering our standard
of value , by depreciating our circulating
medium. If , hovovor , it raises the mar
ket prlco of silver up to the statutory ratio
then the standard of value will bo uiml-
torod and prices will bo unaffected. It
cannot do both at the same timo.
Consistent bitnotullists advocate the
concurrent usoof gold and silver because
they think that the prlcos of the two
motufs can bo maintained at a statutory
ratio. They do not wish to aggrandize
any class at the expense of another.
The farmers , who have been led to ox-
poet personal gains from the adoption of
tree coinage legislation , have in most
cases boon deluded by the harangues of
illogical demagogues.
MANY of the schemes that have boon
advanced as means of temporary relief
for the present scarcity of currency aim
really at supplying u substitute circu
lating medium issued by private parties
or corporations instead of the govern
ment. Those concerns would of oourbo
be entirely free from public control and
thus have the business community at
tholr mercy. Stroll , for example , Is the
plan for the olrbfithtlon of drn'ts drawn
in xjonvonlont .su\h \ $ imynblo to bearer on
demand. Suolualsp is the plan for the
Issue of city warrants hi small denomi
nations and ncgolYablo without endorse
ment. In cnch , , , | case U is contem
plated that the , , | holder will refrain
from presenting the order for
payment and' ' 'will ' pass it on
In the ordinary S rso of business. The
ilofcct In all thosoiproposuls1 is that the
emission is entirely unrestrained. The
might'b'd'lnflntcd nnd
currency suddenly
contracted greatly , , to the detriment of
all commercial relations. The object Is
undeniably to put out an issue of paper
which is Intended to circulate from hand
to hand as money. The evils of wild
cat currency led to the imposition of the
10 per cent tax on state bank issues nnd
these expedients undoubtedly fall with
in the sumo category. If they wore
tried upon nn extensive scale , wo should
probably not have to wait long until the
federal authorities would bo Induced to
summarily interfere.
THK reception which Senator Voor-
hoes' speech moots in the democratic
press is as varied as the colors of the
rainbow. Administration organs welcome -
como the promised vote in favor of un
conditional repeal , but almost univer
sally reject the program which ho has
promulgated for future legislation. Sen
ator Voorhoes at the head of the finance
committee of the semite , the committee
which must consider nil the important ?
measures upon which the Cleveland ad
ministration has sot Its heart , is going
to bo n troublesome factor for the devo
tees of Cleveland democracy.
IT APPEARS that thu present demo
cratic administration does not intend to
confine its activity to federal affairs.
The proposal of Minister Blount , ns the
administration candidate for governor
in Georgia , shows how far the rule from
Washington extends.

the good intentions of the bar , whoso mem
bers have nd interest other than to secure
to the bench our ablest lawyers for judges.
Wo are not Interested , have no personal
ideas nnd no side issues. Washington county
was honored by Governor Crounso with an
appointment nbotit the -Oth of last March ,
and Judge W. C. Walton , the nppomtuc , has
given general satisfaction. Wo bolinvo that
the bar mooting will favor his candidacy as
a nnnpartisan candidate. Washington
county will bo satisfied with tills result. Mr.
Walton Is a republican , but on the bench
ho is not known as a republican. Ho is
n Ltontluman of learning and dignity , a man
of politeness and affability , and while ho is
not a rich man still ho is fairly well .to do ,
with a good homo , a small bank account ,
and an oven , unassuming temper. There is
probably no judge in this district who has
served a probationary or appointive term
who has given bettor satisfaction than
Judge Walton has given.
Washington county will ask for Judpo
Walton lit the bands nf the bar convention ,
and will bo happy to stop right there giving
members of the bar from other counties
their choice for the other vacancies.

HooiT.n , Nob. , Aug. 27. To the Editor of
Tnr. Bnit : An ' 'Unbiased Observer" says
"Undo Sam Is very sick" and nil will
agree with him. IIo further says that while
there arc plenty of doctors thousands of
them not ono can treat this case success
fully. It requires a specialist with peculiar
powers. There nro extant certain sacred
nnd inspired writings which contain full and
accurate directions for treating such a caso.
but having boon written for u very different
purpose , no ono lias yet boon found who can
interpret the directions contained. These
sacred writings nro the different party
bibles commonly called "platforms. " Writ
ten long ago and while the patient wns yet
in robust health , each party insists that
ho must bo cured by their formula or
not nt all , and yet neither party can agree
on the Interpretation of their own bible.
In the meantime the patient languishes
This "Unbiased Observer" says the number
is increasing of such as begin to "see that
the case is serious , nnd that these party
bibles or platforms must bo road and used
for just what they nro wortb. Conditions
change , and have changed since these were
written. Neither when written were they
the utterances of inspired men , statesmen ,
or oven of shrewd business men. They were
written for a political nominating conven
tion. They were not written by such men
as had the confidence of the country , but by
political heelers , not with any thought of
saving the country , but to patch some weak
place in the armor of some candidate.
The persistence with which such utterances
made by such men at such n time and for
such a purpose are paraded as inspiration is
the great danger. If this great country is
to bo saved without going down into the
mlro of bankruptcy and years of business
prostration , it must bo by at once getting on
a common sense and sound business basis ,
which just now appears a matter of doubt.
A nation can no moro do business successfully
on a false system than can an individual.
The plain common sense remedy for the
present condition is , lirst , stop trying to
roach the impossible , vi < s : Kniso the world's
valuation of silver by legislation. Stop buy
ing moro than we can uso. Second , issuu at
once cnouirh currency to do business with ,
and provide for Its retirement when the
panic is over , as for instance , Tom Johnson's
bill. Third , keep bands off everything else
and go homo.
' Unbiased Onservor" believes this treat
ment will euro the patient , am.1 that nothing
else will. There are probably too many
cranks and political hucksters to expect such
wise action. GiiOitais B. PARSONS.
