Itandard aud indorses the legislation of
Ihe present congress by which that ataud
Ird has tx en effectively strengthened.
The atability of our national currency is
therefore secure su long sa those who
adhere to ibis platform are kept in con
trol of tbe government. In the first bat
tle, that of 1S1K1, the friends of the gold
standard and of sound currency were
trluutphaut, and the country ia enjoying
the fruits of I but rictury. Our antago
nists, however, are not satisfied. Tbey
compel us to secoud battle upon the

As iu Ittiui '.he three silver parties are
uuiieil tinder the same leader, w bo imuie-ili.m-ly
after the eiectiou of that year la
nu aiMrcs ' . the binielitlMsts said:
"The fuel its of biuu tullisni bare not

.,re:-eorie. They believe that th gold
I :tn.!u! tl Is a conspiracy of tbe money
!:::u,ri'.s u-....'.jt the welfare of tbe bu
muu race, and they will continue tbe
warfare anninst It."
Tbe polity thus proclaimed bas been
accepted and conn mud by these parties.
Tbe silver I euioc-i-atic platform of l'JUO
continues ibe warfare against tbe so
called gold conspiracy when It expressly
ays, "We reiterate tbe demand of that
iilie Chicago) platform of 1K1MJ fur an
American tiuaueiul system made by the
Aniprlcau people for IheiiiHelrea which
shall restore' aud maintain a bimetallic
price level and sa part of such system
the immediate restoration of tbe free and
unlimited coinage of silver and gold at
tbe present ratio of 11) to 1, wilbout
walling for tbe aid or consent of any
other nation."
So tbe Issue is presented. It will -be
noted that tbe demand is for the Imme
diate restoration of the free coinage of
silver at 16 to 1. If another issue is par
amount, this hi Immediate. It will admit
of no delay and will suffer no postpone
ment. Turning to tbe other associated par
ties, we find in tbe Populist national plat
form adopted at 8ioux Kails May 10 the
following declaration:
"We pledge anew tbe People'a party
never te Cease the agitation until this
financial conspiracy Is blotted from the
statute book, tbe Lincoln greenback re
stored, the bonds all paid and all corpo
ration money forever retired. We reaf
firm tbe demand for tbe reopening of the
mints of tbe United Htates for the free
and unlimited coinage of ailver sod gold
St tbe present legal ratio of 10 to 1, th
Immediate increase in the volume of ail
ver eoiua and certificates thus created to
be substituted, dollar for dollar, for tbe
banknotes Issued by private corporations
under Special privilege granted by law of
March 14, lOoo, and prior national bank
ing lawa."
Th platform of tbe silver party adopt
ed St Kansas City July 0 makes the fol
lowing announcement:
"We declare It to be our Intention to
lend our efforts to Ibe repeal of tbia cur
rency law, which not only repudiates the
ancient and honored principles of tbe
American people before tbe constitution
wss adopted, but Is violative of tbe prin
ciples of tbe constitution itself, and we

Important. Whichever parly ia success

Into administratis and legislation its

The tasslrv'a Prosyerltr.
Our industrial and agricultural eondi
tiona are more promising thau tbey bare
been for many years, probably more so
than they have ever beeu. 1'rusperity
abouuda everywhere throughout- the re
public. 1 rejoice that the southern a
sell aa the northern stales are eujoyiug a
full share of these improved national con
ditions and that all are contributing so
largely to our remarkable Industrial de
velopment. The mouey leuder receives
lower rewards for bis capital thau if It
were Hi vested III active business. Tbe
ratea of interest are lower than tbey have
ever beeu in tbia country, while those
thing which are produced oa tbe fasui
and in tbe workshop snd the labor pro
ducing them have advanced in value.
Our foreign trade shows a satisfactory
aud Increasing growth. The amount ot
onr exports for tbe year 1DOO over tboae
of the exceptionally prosperous year of
18UU was about .'i00,lsJO for every day
of tbe year, aud these sums bave goue

people. There baa been au lucrease of

Tbe Boer-Brltlsh War.
In ths unfortunate contest between
Great Britain aud tbe Boer statea of
South Africa tb United Statea ba
maintained an attitude of neutrality In
accordance with Its well known tradi
tional policy. It did not hesitate, bow
ever, when requested by tbe governments
of tbe South African republics, to exer
cise its good offices for a cessstion of
hostilities. It Is to be observed that
while th South African republics made
like request of other powers tbs United
Statea la tb only one which complied.
The British government declined to ac
cept the Intervention of sny power.' .
Ninety-one per cent of our exports and
Import are now carried by foreign ships.
Por ocean transportation we pay annual

ought te build them in American ship

Bailors. Our own ciliaena should rcceiva

Tbe Isthmian Waterway.
A subject of Immediate importance to
our country i the completion of a great
waterway uf commerce between the At

a maritime canal ia now more than ever
indispensable to tbat intiinute aud ready
communication between our eastern and
western seaport demanded by the an
nexation of tbe Hawaiian Islands and
tbe expansion of our iuUuence and trade
in the Pacific.
Our national policy more Imperatively
than ever calls for its completieii and
control by this government, and It is be
lieved that tbe next session of comtress,
after receiving the full report of th
commission appointed under Ihe act ap
proved March 3, IM'Jft. will make pro
visions for the stirs accomplishment of
thia gret work.

Just how he hapiened to he along

him with lowered bt'sd and Pawed
him in the air with her horns. One
horn struck him dtrocily under the

He Was rendered unconscious. Upon
