The dullness affects all business without regard to th* tariW. It is due to finaaeial Conditions. —lndianapolis SeWtittel. One .year ago the Sentinel and f .te party contended that a :duction of tire tariff Woitld set all 'things right? they told us that there was no financial question before the people. TheW has j been no reduction ill the tariff, i no change hi the financial policy i of the government since the last [campaign and yet the Sentinel indulges in the above. The (’feveland administration is violating the law ip. paying out gold for silver certificates. They are aiding the conspiracy of Wall Street. This policy is seriously affecting trade and commerce and under a proper construction of the conspiracy laws would send every mother's son of them to the penitential y, and would if they Were some poor workingmen who had con spired to boycott some article commerce as these conspirators have agreed to boycott silver.

After the repeal of the- Sher-, man silver law then what? Cleveland gives no *ign as to what will follow. Will the repeal of the Sherman silver bill increase the money volume and restore confidence? 13y • what sort of reasoning is such a conclusion reached? And yet we arc told that this is the effect sought.

Just watch the monkey show when the circus opens up.

The divine right of kings to rule is being questioned in the old world as it has never been before in the old world's history. There is not a crowned head in all Europe that feeds safe to-day. and the cause of the tremblings of rulers over there is not from foes without, but through fear of their own subjects. All Europe is honey-combed with socialism, nihilism, red republicanism and a spirit of freedom that cannot be restrained by the tyrannies of the most despotic forms of government. When the pent up wrath of the masses has reached the point where it cannot be held in bounds, it will break forth like a slumbering volcano. It is one of the strange things in this life that nations will boast of their advancement in civilization, in the sciences, arts and inventive genius, and yet want the great common people to adhere to relics of barbarism in forms of government.

With three such papers as the St. Louis Republic, Cincinnati Enquirer, and the Atlanta Constitution stalwartly standing for the free coinage of silver, and defiantly repudiating the gold standard idea, Mr. Cleveland must be encountering great difficulties in his educational work in the West and South in converting members of congress to his gold-bug ideas. Some people are expressing the opinion freely Mr. Cleveland is not meeting with the success he an-
