The Pacific Kural Press, of San Francisco, entertains sounl ideas on the financial question. In dis cussing the situation, it says. The Orst thing to be accomplish ed, in our judgment, is the repeal of the 1 purchasing clause of the Sherman law; and, as a part of the same proceeding, the re affir mation and re-adoption of the principle of bi-metallism. We must quit dissipating our national resources in the useless effort to hold up the price of silver bullion; bat at the same time we roust de clare it to be the ultimate policy or the- American government to employ the two metals gold silver currently in its coinage. This, we believe, will restore pub lic confidence, enable business to p move. in its accustomed channels, advance to some extent the prices of general commodities and put us in the way of return to substancial prosperity. We say it will "put us iu the way of return to substancial prosperity" because we cannot agree with those who claim that this is all that is required; in our view it is only the first move to wards bi-metalism. upon which our national fortunes ultimately rest We cannot believe that there will ba a return to really good times with free markets and good prices, with justice to producer, seller and debtor, until silver shall be re stored to its old rank as a money metal upon terms of relative . equality with gold; and such equality can only be maintained by free coinage of both metals at coinage of gold and silver must bo kept in view; but creeping comes before walking, and we must re-establish the value of sil ver before we can open our mints to its free and unlimited coinage, Th9 first step toward the re-estab- ' Ushment of the value of silver must be the restoration of busi ness confidence at home; and the next step must be to bring Eng land, or the Latin union, or both into an agreement with us looking to" the concurrent coinage of gold and silver upon a fixed ratio. There is a large body of Ameri can sentiment, particularly strong in silver producing districts, which holds that the United States alone can, by the easy process of open ing its mints to the free coinage of silver, restore to the white metal its old-time and rightful money character. With those who thus believe, it is a favorite remark that those who hold a different view are lacking in patriotic spirit; in other words, that they are shamefully subservient to Old World influences in allowing Eng land to fix the price of silver. Now, as a matter of fact, we can no more prevent England fixing the price of silver than we can prevent her fixiug the price of wheat; that is a thing of the world of commerce wholly beyond regu lation by American statute. The United States can, we believe, by legislative diplomacy backed by our strength m the commercial world and by our national resolve and fortitude, -accomplish all that is desired for silver; but as matters -now stand, to open our mints to free silver coinage would be to cor rupt our standard of value and open the floodgates of confusion and disaster. This is the opinion of those who are best qualified to give judgment; and as we view it, it is iu accord with the common sense of things. Senator Quay favors the im mediate repeal of the purchasing clause of flie Sherman silver law, and an early adjournment of the extra session, but he acknowledges that he is iu a minority when it comes to the early adjournment question. " ' It i a significant fact that no de nocratie itewspaper nor leading democratic statesman has attribu ted the critical condition of - busi se3)to the operations of the Mc Kinley tariff. : SHOULD BE RE-ELECTED. Among the reasons given by correspondents of the American Economist, why McKinley should be re-elected governor of Ohio, is the following: "As the great champion ot pro tection and friend of the farmers and laborers of Ametica, he should be re-elected. By his election the great principle of protection to American labor will again be vin dicated. A year ago, under the operation of the McKinley Tariff law, the country was enjoying un paralleled prosperity, which would have continued today had the "re publican party remained in power. A part of the people blindly and madly struck for a change; they have got it, and democratic panic is substituted for republican pros perity. McKinley should be re elected because those grand and glorious principles of protection so earnestly advocated by him have already been partially vindicated by the blight following the pros pect of their abandonment. Four months of democratic uncertainty has plunged the country into the deepest depression it has knovu for twenty years. Financial dis turbance and ruin are written in the daily story of disaster all around us." In the same paper, on this sub: ject a correspondent at the Dalies says: "I wish that every citizen of Ohio who is undecided as to how he shall vote could visit Eastern Oregon, and especially this cily, and see five million pounds of wool stored for want of a market. Tl.e same clips that sold readily last year for seventeen cents cannot be sold this year for ten cents. The buyers say: Owing, to the unset tled state of affairs we cannot take your wool except on a free tariff basis, which means a price that will kill the industry in the United States. A private letter from Australia says: 'One of the chief reasons for the bank failures here is that there are 90,000,000 pounds of wool being held pending the adoption of free trade in the Uni ted States, which is expected to tuke place as soon as congress m3ets."' Senator Dolph says: "Governor McKinley should ba re-elected Governor of Ohio because he is able and honest, has served one term as governor with great credit to himself and satisfaction to his constituents; because he stands for the fundamental principles of re publicanism, and is the most bril liant and distinguished advocate of the republican doctrine of 'Pro tection to American Industries and American Labor.'" EXTRA SESSION CONVENED. For the twelfth time in the his tory of the United States congress convened at noon on Monday in extraordinary session, and for the first time in a third of a century the democratic party is in control in all departments. In the senate a small amount of unimportant business was transacted when that body, adjourned in - respect to the memory of the late Senator Stan ford. In'the house Mr. Crisp was elected speaker as prearranged. Little other business was transac ted before adjournment. Alter the Tuesday morning routine the S3nate took a recess till 12:45 to await the arrival of the president's message. On reconvening the message was read" and referred to the committee on finance. Sena tor Dolph gave notice that he would, after the morning business, adiess the senate upon the subject of finance. A large number ol petitions for and against the repeal of the Sherman act was presgnted and referred. The first bill of the session was introduced by Hill, ol New York. The substance ot the title was to repeal certain sections of the Sherman law. The titles of two bills introduced by Stewart, ol Nevada, were "to restore the right of coinage," and "to supply the deficiency in currency." On Tues day the house listened to the read iiig of the president's message, and after transacting some preliminary business adjourned. Already, a good many warm words have pass ed between senators and between members of the house, and the ex tra session promises to be a lively. one from the start. There seems no doubt that -it will extend into the regular session. REASONING TOGETHER. This financial question has done one good thing for the American people namely, it has set them to thinking; and it is making new lines for the politics of the couutry. On this question people are takr iug their stand on the basis of things present and to come, rather thrin on the things past. Preju dice is giving way to judgment; and for the first time since the war there is a radical division of the people on a question of pub lic policy outside of party lines. Tais is well, for it gives promise of a new and, as we regard it, a more rational and wholesome political life. Furthermore, popular study of this currency question is doing an immense amount of good to the individual citizen by opening his mind to new information and clearing it of preconceived notions: So recently as two .years ago it was not possible to discuss the sil ver question with candor without giving offense; now the whole country stands ready to hear with respect anybody who speaks from cmvictiou and who can bring new information or new reflection. The temper which characterized the earlier silver discussions, and male them mere contests of spleen a id acrimony, has given place to a receptive pose of the public mind willing to give heed and respect to honest differences as well as to c )incidences of opinion. The pas sion has gone out of the matter and the people are soberly and sensibly reasoning together. And when the Amancau people put th'eir whole mine to a project, they never fail to work it out to a prac tical and just result. Even where opinions and interests seemed as wide apart as the poles, in times past, harmony and co-operation have been attained. And in view of this, who can doubt that in the present situation, in which as a people we are practically agreed as to the end, and in which we dif fer only as to the means, a way will be found to yield justice and satisfaction to everybody. That either one way or another we shall get what we all want the con current and relatively equal money u?e of gold and silver is beyond question, for it is a certain out come of our national earnestness, common sense and honesty. Ru ral Press. If the army of the unemployed could march on Washington, D. C, about next week, it would fa cilitate the business of congress wonderfully. As this army has mainly been created by a fear of what congress will do, it is a pity that it cannot be present and aid the party which has expressed such deep sympathy for "the poor man's dinner pail." Inter' Ocean. Indiana democrats carried a ban ner in 1892, on which was in scribed "vote for a change and $1.25 per bushel for wheat." They got the change and they are getting thit price for two bushels of wheat. Great is democracy. Inter-Ocean. BabyRavvasBeefsteak Baby very sick wirb eczema when three months old.

Iii addition to his duty as secre tary of war and those arising in connection with his- assisting Mr Cleveland to boss the democratic party, Dan. Lamont has a private job to look out for. The Whitney street railway syndicate wants a charter for an electric railroad in Washington, and Lamont has as sumed the task of getting it from congress. It is proposed to build this road on Massachusetts Ave., from one end of the city to -the other. Massachusetts Ave. is one of the handsomest rasidence thor oughfares in Washington, and va rious altempts to secure charters for building a street railway there on have been defeated in congress, but it remains to be seen what weight will be given the wishes of its residents by a democratic con gress, particularly when those wishes are opposed by the admin istration. The board ol lady managers of the world's fair indulge in some decidedly unpleasant wrangles. It has been so since the organiza tiou of the board, whereas, accor ding to claims set forth, they should have set a better example. At a meeting last Saturday, Mrs. Ball, of Delaware, secretary of the cGinniittee on awards, relentlessly scored Mrs. Meredith, chairman of the committee, and there was a great sensation- when the former characterized the latter as an "ar rogant, malicious, ungenerous, vin dictive woman." In her reply Mrs. M. said Mrs. B. staled what was false, and finally broke down and sobbed hysterically. The events of the past few months have circumscribed a very narrow platform upon which free traders may stand, but they are enabled to obtain some comfort from the fact that considerable gold is now coming over from Eu rope with which to purchase our cheap wheat. Wheat-raisers and industries dependent upon them maybe thankful this year that there is a "foreign market," be it a poor one. The Best FtffediGsne. J. O. Wilson, Contractor and Builder, Sulphur fpririgs, Texas, thus speaks of Ayer'a Pills: '" Ayer's Pills are the best medicine I ever tried; anrf, in my judgment, no better general remedy conld be devised. I liaVo used them in my family and recommended them to my friends and employes- for more than twenty years. To my certain knowledge, many cases of the following complaints' have been completely and Permanently Cured by the nse of Ayer's Pills alone: Third day chills, dumb ague,, bilious fever, sick headache, rheumatism,, flux, dys pepsia, constipation, and hard colds. . I know that a moderate use. of Ayer's Pills, continued for a few days or weeks, as the nature of the complaint required, would be found an absolute cure foi the disorders I have named above." "I have been selling medicine1 for eight years, and I can safely say that Ayer's Pills give better satisfaction ; than any other Pill I ever sold." J. J. Perry, Spottsylvania C. H., Va.
