Remember that the Pilot has a prophecy out that Sewall would resign. Thomas E. Watson is the honored son of his state; can as much be said of Sewall. Watson will get four of the electors in Missouri as the result of fusion with the democrats. The democrats of Indiana would like to have Tom Watson make a few speeches for them. Coal costs as much in these gold standard times as it did in the balmy days of free silver and greenbacks. An even division of honors is the result of fusion in Montana and the state is safe for Bryan and Watson. Patriotism marked the election of governor in Arkansas last Monday, and the free silver forces won by the significant majority of 80,000. It is not a fact J>hat living expenses have fallen in a like proportion with wages under the operation of the gold standard and currency contraction. A demand is being made by the leading democrats of the tenth congressional district of Indiana that a union be effected with the populists on presidential electors.

The government has full power to keep the people supplied with sufficient money to do the business of the country, and it should at once coin all the silver it has on hand or issue certificates for the same. There is 180,000,000 known as the seigniorage which should have been coined and used for the redemption of greenbacks and the payment of government expenses instead of borrowing gold of English bankers.
