This decision foiloweil a cabinet discission of a repirt of the Philippines commission. The reprrt had failed to gratify the president by officially indorsing his Philippine policy. The most that could be obtair.! from the commission was an utterance to the effect that the war in the Philippines should be vigorous! v prosecuted until order had been rc scored. That this stubbornness cn the part of the commission pro : a keu disappointment to Mr. lleKinler may easily be believed. That it also alarmed tbe president may also be credited. Beim it is that the artrrdristration will bring except iccal pressure to bear on cr.r 'jress to secure the adoption of an imperialist rrsolntic r.. A personal conference with the president, called br him and held in tbe white house, failed to bring tbe Philippines cnminision to the president's way of thinking on the expa;. -in isi;e. This result a as a somewhat disquieting indication of the trend of public sentiment. It proved also that the imperialists could not afford to take chances with congress. The strongest card in their Land must be played and it will now be played by the president and bis cabinet. If the Amerif-an corgress truly represents the American people, however, it is doubtful if it will yield to the presidert on this issue anr more readilv or to a further extent than did the Philippines commilfn in merely r.rcirg the restoration of order in the Philippines. The people of th's country are opposed to imperialism. The president and the adiminitration party are committed to Imperialism. The national cor-irr-- is supposed to represent the people. Many of its repsiMleaa members are pen in their opposition to American expansion into the eastern hemisphere.

Not lorir aro the president and the vice president of a monopoly combine called the American Tin Plate company appeared before the industrial commission in WaL:narton and told what a beneficent institution the ompany was. They told how it had put an end to ruinous competition and enabled them to pay r-rht royal waces to the men employe;! and at the sn we time sell tin plate cheaper than it was before tho passage of the McKicley tariff. Adniitinjr that the company had closed some mills, they said it had opened more than it had closed. They declared that, while it had reduced the numler employed in cf'ce work, making sales, etc., it had no: r dueed tbe number of men employed in making tin plate. It was giving work to as many persons as ever and paying some of them as much as $10 a day. which was vastly more than workers in tbe sine line could earn In Wales. In fine, tbe combine was doing no end of arood and was entitled to gratitude from its employes and the general public. But what is this we hear from Pittsburgh? A dispatch from that center of protected trust industries states that no less than 1C6 mills in the -0 plants controlled by the combine (which is not a trust.

"Over ü.oOO men ate idle in the mllirc mill department alone and thousands more in other departmenta. The manager? 0f the combine seem to have made haste to shut down mills and throw thousand of men out of work as soon as possible after telling the industrial commission what great things they had done for lshor and for consumer of tin plate. Like other her.eficiarir s of protection, they manifest interest in labor chiefly when they are r.rxious to retain old tariff farora or secure new ones. Chicago Chton-icle.

Perhaps the most fortunate thing that -.d ha - Lftppentd just st iL. time fur the u.t.n -te tntrtt of the people, is the j rea..;r g scarcity of silier money. It is of course very inconvenient tost Lurtful to the retail trade of the country, and through that to every inter, st that concerns the masses of the. people; but it is an eye-opener and will lead many doubting Thomas s into the path of wisdom in time for next yettr's election. The stock argument with republican and so-called democratic cold bug advocates Las been that if silvir were remonetixtd we would have a flood of cheap money that would drive gold cut of the country and put us on a silver basis. Naturally every man who knows anything at all shout the laws that govern 1: Lances, knows that this would be an impossible condition; but the "argument has served its purpose until the existing famine of silver currency proved its utter fallacy. Silver and gold serve two distinct and essential purposes, and neither can take the place, or do the work of the other. And it is imjosiible t j dp nse aith either one or the other without great public inconvenience, distress and loss. Gold is the money of the rich. Df the banks, the railroad companies, the great manufacturing plants, and all weaithy institutions and interests. It is essential to their prosperity, and no one desires to deprive them of a single ounce of the yellow metal. On the other band, silver is the n r.ey of the people. It i& the money that pays the hired workman, tbe factory girl. the laborer on the streets, and does the great volume of retail cash business in all the avenues of trade. It ia the money of universal use. and can no nv.re be safely taken nwny than you can deprive a healthy man of the blood in his veins without producing weakness and death. Bimetalli 1:1 irr ana the rirht to use either or both silver and gold, on an

prosperity; tbe poor as well as the rich. Present conditions prove the wisdom of bimetallism. With silver detnone-

penty among tbe big" institutions and the rich, and hopeless and he'pVss poverty among the masses of the people. These are the natural results of our on- . a -t m

Discussing the recent decision of the supreme court of Michigan, which declared the silver dollar to be an absolute legal tender, a gold standard organ says: "While the Michigan opinion can be of no service to the silrerites. it ought to be of some ue to the cause of sound money, by deepening the conviction that we need legislation endirg the present nmbiruity and making gold the only u&ümind legal tender coin." The gold standard orran it disingenuous. If tTfje decision is "of no service to the silverites." why does the gold standard advocate suirtr st that vce need legislation ending tbe present ambiguity? As a matter rf fact there is no ambiguity. What ti e gold men want is a repudiation by this rnvr: -7 of (5OO.rO0.0CO worth of I era! tender m ney. for wLbh the ration has "received full value in gold at par. No greater dbhor.c-ty- could he suggested; no more gigantic robbeij could be committed than this repudiation. As the Cbicaro IVmocrat declares, to reduce half a billion of leral tender money to the value of bullion would be a contraction of the currency which would produce widespread disaster. But the gold advocates are reckless in their greed, reasonless in their arguments and heartless in their demands. Even that radical administration paper, the New York Sun. admits that such repudiation would precipitate a panic, would be dishonest ad would be nothing more nor leva than a reduction by one-half in the value of $500.000.000 worth of coin now worth itn face and declared to be absolutely legal tender.

The reason is plain whea one stops to think about it. We have no accretions to cur stock of money; indeed, on the authority of the treasurer of tbe United States, we are two hundred and twenty -five millions of dollars short ot enough silver money absolutely neeeasary to transact the business of the) country. What does this mean? Why, if one man makes a few dollars an ana other man loses the amount.
