O01 means July, 1901, DEMOCRATS AND RECIPROCITY, The amazing and apparently incura- ble propensity of so-called Democrats to ignore Democracy and take up with any bastard Republicanism that pre- sents it-elf is shown by the readiness of various Democratic leaders in the house of representatives to make ree ciprocity a Democratic party issue, says the Chicago Chronicle. What is reciprocity ? In the first place, it is an attempt in violation «f the constitution to take the power of originating revenue bills from the house of representatives and to place the senate, the trealy-muking power. In the second place, it is a scheme of the big protectees to remove their interests from the omnibus tariff bills of the future and to intiench them- gelves in such a way in treaties ne- gotiated by a few men who can be trusted to look after their welfare, In the third place, it is indublitalle evidence that the whole rotten tariff system is breaking down ofits own weight of lies and corruption. Democrats as such have no reason to interest themselves in these ‘measures than of the cross have to espouse the cause of a Chinese joss as against the claims of Buddha. The unwillingness or the incapacity of Democrats Democrats counts for most of the disasters and shame which have come upon the or- ganization in recent yeurs., Every Democratic principle has been sacrific- ed at ope time or another on the al. ters of expediency, or cowardice or treachery. Union and money and free trade, human (quality and the rights of men, national honor and home rule, public credit and private honesty —all these cardinal Democra- tie doctrines have been surrendered at times during the last forty years by _ unworthy leaders who hoped by such “means to gain a miserable alvantage through the favor of some renegades from one party or another. Monopoly tariffism has been doomed before this and has ben preserved by the blunders of Democrats, It doomed again and can be saved only by theerrors of the party which ought to resist it, not fitfully and in places, but persistently and consistently, everywhere and all of the time, more missionaries to be ac- liberty, sound in is an indus The demand expression by some American tries of adesire for free trade. These industries are becoming restive under the yoke which is worn for the benefit of the unprogressive, the indifferent and theswinish., When they break away, as they will in due time, it will be possible for a Democratic congress to revise the tariff on Democra'i: lines. for reciprocity TS Oak Hall, (Clement Dale and wife, «f Houser- ville, and Luther Dale, wife and son Ralph, of Pine Grove Millsp spent Christmas with their father, A.

The secretary thinks it probable | that before another Congress shall have met all the subsidiary money now authorized will be needed. The recommendation is one which! Congress shonld consider favorably. A scarcity of small change is a| distressing affair. On the other hand, if more dimes and quarters and | half dollars are coined than are nceded for business purposes, no harin | is done. If there is no demand for these coins when too many are | minted they remain in the treasury, or, if pat into circulation, flow back | into it and are asked for as increasing population and and basiness ac tivity create a demand for them. The director of the mint recommends | that no more silver dollars be coined. They are being coined now under | one of the provisions of the war revenue act of 15898 at the rate of ong and one-half million dollars a month. There have been coined about | 530,000,000 silver dollars. The treasury held November 1 lust 51,700. 000 ounces of silver bullion, all of which will be converted into silver) dollars unless Congress shall order otherwise, The silver dollar is favorite and convenient coin. a Fusion and Politics. A correspondent of the Philadelphia “Times,” who doesn’t believe the Democrats of. Pennsylvania can win victories “by plowing with the enemy's heifer,” and is therefore aguinst fusion, presents some figures in support of his idea, compairing Bryan's vote in all the counties of the State in 1896 with the tusion vote for Yerkes at the late election. The table “shows that notwithstanding the natural increase Democratic voters gince 1806-—a period of five years—and the presumable access of the goldites to Yerkes, whose candidate he was distinctively, there was a loss in every county of the State exeept fourteen.” We do not believe in fusion as a permanent policy. Conditions may make it expedient at certain times, but in the long run and if per maunently adhered to, its results must be disastrous to the minority party. It creates indifference, tends to demoralization, and destroys the cour. ageous and aggressive gnalities so necessary to political party does not believe in itself, and measures its politic discontented on the other side, it cannot in-pire public confidence. makes gain they are not permanent. f fusion is | to be an important one as to the conduct of tuis year's campaign, it draw from the majority party enough votes toto make it a minor party!
