Hard Ti iiie Just now it is amusing, or rather would be amusing, were not con- ditionts so serious, to watch the antics of the old party papers, of — - the South and West, as they blow both hot and col(1 in the same breath. In one column we find a ruview of trade conditions and the starting up of every little factory in the East that has been idle for the past three years, and which has been put in motion by the agents of the money -changers in Wall Street, is heralded abroad as an evidence of returning prosperity and business activity. While in another column will appear a laborious disquisition on the finan- cial question, acknowledging the injustice and iniquity of our present system, and pointing out in many instances, the impossibil- ity of any permanent prosperity upon the present basis. The two do not go together. That pros- perity is not returning is evidenc- ed by numerous failures through- out the entire country embracing all lines of business, and that stagnation and quiet which greet you on every street and in the shops and warerooms of our busi- ness men. Money plenty in the banks, interest low, but collections hard. Such is the state of trade. It cannot be disguise I or disaipat- ed by effusive ebulitione on return- ing prosperity. That times are hard and growing tinnier, that idle mon are daily joining the ranks of the great American army of tramps is too much in evidence to be de- nied. If the old party papers, whofte penetration is sufficient to enable them to trace to its true souroe the cause of this business depression, ruin, disaster and hard times, and know the utter ina- . joseibility of any permanent or \lasting revival under present eon - d 'dons, had the moral courage, and love for their felloW men and e.untry that every good citizen should posaems, instead of talking of good times corning they would point, out the authors of Our misery the present leaders of both old partias and demand that the» traitorous and treacherous agente of a corrupt and avaricious ans tocracy be dethroned from their position and relegated to that ob- scurity and odium which attached to Benedict Arnold. And that their parties be rehabilitated and reorganized on those principles of honesty and patriotism which call- edthem into existence. If this were done, and done with the rigor and spirit of 1776, the problem of the restoration of silver, the cause of hard times and the remedy would be solved, and solved quickly, and good times would sweep in like the onward march of a conquering army. The political situation in Ken- tucky is already prounced desper- ate by the \sound -money Demo- crats, who lately made the welkin ring with their shouts of victory after Mr. Carlisle's campaign. Gen. P. Watkin Hardin, the free - silver candidate, nominated., on a platform acceptable to the gold - monometallists, did fora few weeks avoid discussing the currency issue. But some of the voters insisted on his expressing his opinions on this momentous question and finally he yielded to the demand. He refus- ed to retract any of his former declarations, but interpreted the platform, lately so lauded by the gold -monometallists, in such a way as to favor his \silver\ views. The result was a call for his withdaw- al from the ticket, and when he steadfastly refused to yield one way or the other, the Louisville Courier-Journal and other mem- bers of the Carlisle faction with- drew their support from him. Some Democrats announce their intention to vote for Bradley, the Republican candidate, but General Hardin rein ai es undismayed and is still the regular candidate of his party, approved by the State Com- mittee. Meantime Senator Blackburn, who has been canvassing the State to secure the return of a Legis- lature which will return him to the Senate, has continued his earnest advocacy of free -silver coinage, and expects to win in spite of the efforts of Mr. Carlisle and the ad- ministration., His endeavor is to array the country districts against Louisville and the ring, which has long dominated political affairs in Kentucky. Whatever the outcome may be, the campaign of education has already caused a political earthquake in the Bourbon State. —The American. The average banker, when he talks about the value of money, means the interest it brings. When it brings a small interest, he thinks it is cheap, and vice versa. The value of money, on the con- trary, means its exchangeable value When money exchanges for a good deal of property, or what means the same thing, when prices are low, then money is dear. But at the same time, interest is invari- ably low. The banker then says money is cheap, while, on the con- trary it is dear. That is the situa- tion in the United States now. Why should there ho an inter- national agreement atsuit money, when there is no such thing as international money? Our gold coin in England sells by weight, just as gold or silver bars or wheat or cotton or pork. A dead hog, fit for market, is just as much inter- ns gold Inter- nati.inal money Inter- national balances are always set- tled by swapping. The London creditor of an American firm asks for exchange, or gives an Amer wan order for that commodity ont of which he can make the most pro- fit. \International money\ is the talk of a scoundrel or ignoramus. Mining Industry and Review. The Pennsylvania Republican Stste Convention, which ai on\ oi no . -1‘ icy the 29th ult., adopt- ed pistf‘,rin which ought to pl ea se the most ingenious strati tiler li alqo serves as a prelude to what may be expected at the hands of the Republican party in '96. After accepting- \unreserved- ly,\ the Republican National plat- form of 1892, demanding the use of gold and silver as money, the maintenance of a national curren- cy, every dollar of which, whether in gold, silver or notes, shall be of stable value and of equal purchas- ing power, it declared its opposi- tion to the debasement of the national currency by the admis- sion of silver to a free and unlimit- ed coinage at the arbitrary ratio of 16 to 1. Great is Quay. Great the Be publican party. The record of both besmirched by crime. It is strongly intimated that upon the assembling of Congrues in December, Mr. Cleveland will present a plan, concocted in Wall Street, for funding the $346,000,- 000 of legal tender notes, \green- backs.\ A similar plan was re- jected by a Democratic congress and it is to be hoped thatsufficient good sense will be found in a Republican congress to kill it be- fore it flies far. The prime object and ultimate aim of the scheme is to take from the government the sovereign power of issuing money and turn it over bodily to the banks, giving them an uncontrolled power to manipulate prices by expansion and contraction of money governed only by their avaricious greed and mendacity. The MINER would modestly call the attention of the public to itself while it asserts that it is respon- sible for placing the Capitol build- ing of the State on the site which it now occupies. The power of the press, when rightly employed, is the most tremendous weapon of modern civilization. James Twiford DICALCH IN The LUMP CITY SPECIAL PO, -RICE LIST MINER.
