FEEE SILVEB. j VieuH ol I'uNliDitHtcr ( moral Wilson. i Fairfield Herald and News. Postmaster (ieneral Wilson, the author of the original Wilson tarifl bill, , lias always had the reputation of be- | iug a student of politics rather than a politician. He is a very scholarly man, and has always been considered fonservative. We are not nrepar ed to say that he has not overdrawn the results of free silver legislation. We are inclined, however, to think that the re-adjustment to a new standard would take place in less than twenty years. We publish what he says that our readers may know the views of such thinkers. He may l>e 1 wrong, but we cannot doubt his honesty. The following is a part of what Mr. Wilson wrote to the Democrats of West Virginia : 1 "Let me state a few facts : We have j now a free coinage of gold, and as a < consequence, the gold coin is worth < exactly as much as and no more than 1 the bullion out of which it is coined, i It has not been found possible for any Government in recent times to lix such ratio between gold and silver as to keep both in full and concurrent circulation under free coinage. Hence all free silver countries to-day have no full legal tender metal currency but silver. Hut all the gold standard countries coin on Government account more or less silver coins and keep them at par with their gold. The I'nited States have thus coined over silver dollars of full legal tender power, and a large amount of 1 .....1 ndmr raiinu flip IKP .smaller suver mm ihu? as change in small transactions with { limited legal tender power. Kl-'FECT OK l-'KKK S1LVKK. 1 "The first effect of free silver would ' he to drive out of circulation the < $62-5,000,000 of gold and to siuk all sil- ' ver and paper money to the standard of the silver dollar. There would be a shrinkage at once of our cuirency of two-thirds of the present purchasing power or money efficiency by the disappearance of over ?600,000,000 of gold and a shrinkage in value of the other $1,000,000,000 to one-half its present vulue. The first step, then, would be < to contract our currency from $'J,()00,000,000 to about $1,000,000,000 in pur- $ chasine power. Along with this contraction, of course, would come a . like contraction of debts, salaries, wages and all past obligations. "There is no country in the world that could make this sudden change in its money standard without plunging ' headloug into an - indefinite period of panic, bankruptcy and distress, with j a disastrous check to its development and idleness to its industries. TilK DILEMMA OF THE DEBTOK. "The hope held out to debtors that ' they would be able to pay in cheaper dollars would never be realized, be- | cause they would be at once pressed for their debts, and in such disorgani- , ; zation of trade and of all business they could not get the cheaper dollar, and the idea that free silver would give us a larger currency would not be rooii'/Pii if pver in the life time of the present generation. ALL WOULD UK HURT. "Out of all the catastrophies of such a change no men would emerge unharmed, except those who own gold or who own silver bullion or mines; and when we had once got to silver basis : and began to build up again the credit system upon it,.instead of the marvellous system which has made possible our developments and which represents many times in currency circula- 1 tion and power the money basis on which it rests, we should have a cumbersome, heavy, inferior metal mono}', like the few uuprogressive countries of the world, and surrender to our great commercial rivals the best mechanism for trade and commerce. < ' "So much for the effect judged by < tlie light of all past experience of free silver by the independent action of this country at 16 to 1. I'ARTY IX DANGER, NOT COUNTRY. "I do not believe that many well informed men thiuk that there is real danger of our country going to that basis. The very threat and agitation of it, however, have brought upon us three years of depression and stagnant enterprise and the country to-day is held back from starting on a new and unparalleled career of development. "But if free silver is not a real danger tn thtt ?nuntrv it is a uresent menace to the Democratic party, for if by any misfortune the party should espouse this cause, its future is doomed. From being a great national party, 'the advocate of individual freedom, local self-government, moderate and just taxation and other great aud inspiring national policies, it becomes a small and powerless sectional party, embarked on what a vast majority of the American people believe to be a crusade against the financial credit, the prosperity and the progress of the Union. It will voluntarily surrender, not only the Northeast?dissolving party connection with the Democrats of New York, New Jersey, aud Connecticut, who have three times turned the scale in the election of Democratic Prauirfonts?with Hip Itemoftratic con stituents in New P^ngland and the .Middle States, who have furnished so many votes since the war to save the South from prospective legislation, and with those of the middle West and doubtless part ot the border States of the South. "Icanotsee how it is possible for any calm man to think that a party committed to free silver at 10 to 1 can carry any part of the country except a section of the South Mild of the small 1 Hockey Mountain States. The great i States of Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio and Michigan, three of which we carried in 1892, and secured votes from the other two, as also Iowa aud i Minnesota, would vote for tens or even 1 hundreds of thousands against it. i "Heretofore sectionalism and subserviency to class interests in the Republican party have made a solid 1 South and a divided North. Shall the errors of the Democrats of the South make henceforward a solid North and < a divided South? In their loyal and splendid support of tun IT reform the Democrats of the South have hud the support of millions of the best and most patriotic citizens of the Northeast and Northwest."

Never be afraid to use the highest motives in doing the smallest deeds. The weakest living creatura, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish something; the strongest, by dispersing his over many, may fail to accomplish anything. Plutarch says very finely, that a man should not allow himself to hate even his enemies; because if you indulge this passion on some occasions it will rise of itself in others. For the best results the needs be the longest waiting. The true harvest is the longest in being reached. The failures comes first, the successes last. The unsatisfactory is generally soonest seen.

' 4 ** Tlioy Should lo-npprratc. Tiie I'ulpit and the Press are words ippropiately grouped iu common use, not only because they make a pleasmt alteration, but from the fact that they stand for the two greatest educational and uplifting forces in the world to-day. Not only this, but they ire singularly fitted for the co-operaion which each alike needs to secure ,he best results of its own peculiar ,vork. Tt is no matter, however, of common ibservation, that they not only do not lo-operate, but that something little ess than hostility or jealousy often haracterizes the attitude of the Pul* ilia Pi-nun an.) It,. ill lunuiun nit ? * tcir-, auit iuat lliC onipllment is too often returned with leglect and indifference. Admitting that many pleasant exeptions may be made to the general pplication of this statement, and without, assuming that the Press is ntirely blameless, one element of ir itation may be located without an X" ray. It lies on the surface. Many clergymen frequently inveigh gainst the Press with unstinted abuse nd the most sweeping and uncondiional denunciation, using such thrases as, "The papers always lie," r "Xo one can believe anything they ay," or "They habitually and contantly falsify." Itisau obscure newspaper man inleed who has not heard this time and gain, and this lie direct so unjustly ;iven has never failed to beexceedingy offensive. Xo editor could reasonably object to laving specilic errors criticised, but his is vastly different than to have notives impugned and the whole lourse of all the Press sweepingly delounced. Even clergymen must admit that vhen the Press makes no other retaliaion than that of neglect, which of ;u 111ac icaus iiiitrutiLiuii, 11 uau JLIUIU* y be accused of demonstrating- much esentment. But is there not a remedy for this egretable condition ? We think that the two following ;ery simple and obviously proper nethods could be effectively idopted:? 1. Let clergymen substitute specific jnticism for the present sweeping and ndiscriminate attacks in which they low indulge. 2. Let clergymen appreciate and acinowldge the courtesies continually :>eing granted them by the Press, initead of receiving them ungraciously n silence, or being so effusive in compliment as to convey the impresion of sincerity.?N ewspaperdom.
