Harper's Weekly is not enamored over elther of the candidates for governor of New York, but as between Hill and Motton, it is decidedly for Morton.

THE OHIO FREE SILVER ADDRESS. The Ohfo democratic platform of this vear distinetly committed the party in As the democ ic mittee has just is- sued an address in which it is declared that money question is the supreme issne before the country and the free v oof silver advocated. Thus the demoeracy of the Buckeye state, which fwenty years ago zealously es- poused the eause of greenback inflation, ix now cqually lest in championing It may be interesting to note that then the vener- able Allen G, Thuriman was a leading advoeate of greenbackism, and now his xon is prominent as a champlon of free silve The telegraphle summary of the argu- ments of this address, which will donbt- less command wide attention and com- ment, does not present anything very new or impressive in support of the de- maid for free silver. The ground it covers has Yeen gone over many times before. What is not statement of fun- damental principles has long since Still, it may be well to e notice of a few of the ar- guments or assertions of t free silver One of th is that the de- if o emphasiz state executive ¢ coin is has been wholly due to the de- monetization of silver in 18 This ut- terly ignores the increasing production of all kinds of commodities which has been going on since the so-called de- monetization of silve: In that time sat progress las been made In im- proved facilities of manufacture, add- ing enormously to the production, while the world's yield of agricultural prod- uets has been immensely increased. In our own country it Is sald that our manufacturing fndustries, if run to their full capacity, are eapable of turning out in six months enough goods to supply the demands of our people for a year. Our agricultural resources have been very greatly developed during the last twenty years, so that our nual production furnishes in exces domestic wants a large surplus for port. Other countries have also bee developing their agricultural resource It is a favorite point with the free silver advocates to cite the low price to which wheat has fallen as evidence of the effect of silver demonetization. This was asserted by one of the speakers at the meeting of the Bimetaliic league in Washington a short time ago, but he neglected to explain why it did not haye the same effect on corn and oats, which have risen in pr while wheat has So far.as the American farmers erned, they have been growing more wheat than conld be consumed at home and at the same time have en- countered a steadily increasing compe- tition from other countries, couditions which could not fail to cause a deeline of prices. Free coinuge of silver could not have helped the situation in the least, The assertton ix made by the Ohlo democrats that the general decliue in prices has been brought about by the shrinkage in the volume of money rel- ative to populution and business. It N | #hrinkage el Is not tewe, wo far as the [nited States I& concerned, that there has been a shrinkage in the volume of money rela- tive (o popnlation.

As to the assertion that gold alone does not afford a sufficient basis upon which our paper curreney enn safely rest, the con clusive answer is that it has done so for the past fifteen ars, and there s no reason why it shall not continue to do * existing conditions, democrats have done noth- her th ke of silver their address.

During Presi- dent Cleveland's first term in the white house he was outspoken against such interference and professed to exert his influence in the opposite direction. The very democrats who formerly denounced the republican federal machine are now working the federal brigade for all it is worth. 'I'his offensive partisanship must attract the adverse comment of all intelligent and unbiased people. S ACCEPTANCE. Senator Hill has aceepted the nomina- tion for governor of New York, given him nearly two weeks ago by a conven- tion of his followers and admirers. In doing this he keeps faith with his friends »nd disappoints the hopes of his enemies. Since the nomination Mr, Hill has been devoting himself with his usual laboricus assiduity to a thorough canvass of the situation, and his de- cision to make the race is to be re- garded as evidence that he believes there is a fighting chance for his elec tion. His aceeptance speech, howeve Is not characterized by that confident tone which usually perviides lis utter- ances. He confesses that his party, par- ticula in New York, is confront with which substanti; involves its existence as a political or ganization.” He admits that the very life of the party is at stuke, and such being the ease, he feels 1t to be a duty to sink per 1 preferences and disre- gavd all considerations of personal sac- rifice for the general good. He would prefer to remain in the the duties of which were becoming more congenial to his tastes, but in_the exist- ing exigeney he cannot refuse to obey the call of Lis purty, whatever the re- sult may be to his own political for- tunes. Senator Hill's language Is adroftly framed to carry the impression of supreme devotion and unselfish- loy alty to the party, and doubtless 1t will have this effect upon many, but the is a large element that will not be so affected by it. There are thousands of democrats who cannot be induced to have any faith In Hill, whatever profes- slons he may make, What will the anti-machine democrats now do Is & most interesting question, to which an auswer ought to be forth- coming I the next few days, It seems hardly lkely that they will put an in- dependent ticket in the field, because senate, ible to find men of any popular,steangth having politieal aspirations who %re willing to fmperil thelr future Yy |§§r»¢|nlng the lendorship of thls movemant agninst the regular demecratie thket.
