If the ceremony In St. Thomas' should"
make Oenernl Harrison the Republican
nominee, will Bachelor David B. Hill
have the sagacity to take the hint?
The Harrb&urs Platform.
If the Republicans of Pennsylvania
who, by their representatives at liar
risburg, two weeks from today, will
formulate a platform, had a clear view
of the logic of the protective principle,
they would not play Into the pockets
of German and English bankers und
brokers by declaring, as they are quite
likely to do, for an appreciating stand
ard of values. They would, In that
contingency, as soon think of declar
ing In favor of free trade as In favor
of an adjustment of tho money ques
tion which enriches speculative for
eigners while steadily Impoverishing
the great mass of productive Ameri
cans. Instead of joining In the hue and cry
against silver tho metal which it is to
the Interest of Americans to make val
uable, because they have so much of it
the Republicans of Pennsylvania, If
they were true to protection as a whole,
would, a fortnight hence, choose a ple.t
form declaring boldly for the free coin
age of American silver, with a pro
hibitive tariff on all foreign silver, both
bullion and coin, thus shut ting out
metal that we don't want and tiring
more freely metal that we really do
need. They would do this upon the
ground that since silver has been nr
tlflciully depressed In market value by
means of its legal discrediting on the
part of the creditor nations, whose ex
ample this country has meekly fol
lowed, It would be proper to give tho
protected tilver output of our own
mines an artificial boost by way of Just
compensation.
Thus we should gain, not Interna
tional, but safe, home bimetallism
without going to a sliver basis or los
ing a penny's worth of our nlready
large stock of gold. And when protec
tion again ruled at the custom houses
high protection safeguarded by reci
procity we should get such a steady
Influx of foreign gold In payment of
the balance of trade that It wouldn't be
long before the gold-bnls nn'.inr.s of
Europe would become nlunncd for their
own safety and would begin to solicit
ub to make bimetallism International.
Such an experiment would be worthy
of u people having the natural re
sources that Americans have and being
by instinct, tradition and manifest des
tiny differentiated from tho feudalists
monarchies of the Old World.
But the Harrisburg convention, of
course, will make no such courageous
utterance. Despite the fact that the
working classes and most of the pro
ducers and manufacturers of the state
firo bimetallism, that convention will
catch Its cue from the American con
freres of the Kold-monometalllsts of
non-productlv Europe who denomin
ate as sound money that kind of money
which they can make scarce when It
suits their purpose to do so, and em
phatically resolve In favor of the gold
single standard. This much la clearly
foreseen. Word-Jugglery has done its
work. Silver la already as good na
hanged, drawn and quartered. While
the fad lasts, soundness and gold will
unquestionably be considered synony
mous terms. Some day, perhaps, wo
may awaken to the fact that It is a
poor plan to cut oft our nose to spite
our face; but it must be confessed that
the awakening does not seem to be
very near at hand.
The news that Spain has calmed
down over congress' recognition of the
Cuban belligerents shows that Spain
'can still recognize an Inevitable fact
when it sees one.
s Women and the Conference.
It Is difficult for tho lay mind to com
prehend the disinclination which many
clergymen manifest toward admitting
women as lay delegates to the ecu
menical councils of the church. This
question Is again agitating Methodism,
and we are glad to observe that the
Wyoming conference has taken Its
stand on the side of progress. The
vots at Blnghamton 64 to 57 was
. close, to be sure, but It Is nevertheless
an Indication that the drift of sentl
msnt Is forward.
The quadrinnlal International coun
ell of the Methodist Episcopal church
which will meet in Cleveland next
month will probably take Cnaf action
upon the subject, by voting to aO.in'.t
woir.cn, It will be remembered that
eight years ago five women, anions
them Frances K. WUIard, were elected
general lay conference delcgiton. The
bishops were without precedents to
guide them, and In the absence cf a
law governing the mafflnr; up of the roll
of members Ins tructed the secretary to
record and read the names of women
rparatcly until a conference of un
questionably constituted delegates
could decide upon the visibility of
women. The question was referred to
a rpeclnl comr.-.ittee, and after e. long
and animated discussion thl3 commit
tee reported ,-t! at under the constitu
tion and laws of the church us they
now read women are not ellg'ltlo ai lay
delegates in th gtner.il conferojuvV
Between lSf.3 and 18D2 a proposition -to
u:.;ti:d tho restrictive rule by specify
ing dtetlntily that lay delegates may be
men or women v.is submitted to the
annual conferences, but was defeated
by 2.000 vutc3. The prcaelu-rs mostly
voted against the clir-nse and the laity
for it. At the conference of lf?2, held
in Oinnha, no women dcKgat.'-s were I
presented for adrntedon, Although the
sentiment was Ftrong in favor ci
women. Next month, nt Cleveland,
three women will present themselves
for admission, and the whole subject
will bo reopened. Thus far, a consider
able mujorlty is reported in behalf of
the change.
Among the eminent Methodists who
advocate the admission of women dele
gates are I'.!shop3 Fltfcireral-J, Ma'.ia-lii-u.
Hurst ar.d Newman, Dsnlel H.
Moore, editor et the Western Christian
Advocate. Dr. A. J. Kynett and the ed
itors ot tho church papers generally,
always excepting Dr. Buckley, who,
with Bishops Vincent and Merrill, la
the mainstay of ths opposition. The
latter argues that the suggested change
Is unseriptural, unconstitutional and
inexpedient; end that it would tend
to remove woman from her destined
and proper sphere ot greatest useful
ness. On the contrary, the argument
In the affirmative is thnt women sus
tain tho church and are therefore mor

ment. As we said ut the beginning, i
the lay mind cannot quite fathom the ;

mystery why the preachers, who are ;
the chief opponents of the proposed j
change, should object to such a recog
nition of the most notlve.carnest, faith

A corvinclng presentation of the j
economic v.titie f stood roads la made
'' , ,
in the April number of Godey's Mag-
nzine by Isaac B. Potter. While noth-
. , ,
Ing that he says 13 new, all that he eoys ,
Is and will remain timely so Ions a3
country roada continue to he roufth, ir
regular and at certain seasons of the
year practically useless both to wheel
men and to teamsters.
Mr. Totter first cites tho now familiar
phenomenon of the abandoned farm as
a proof that something Is radically at
fault In tho conditions purroumllnff
American nsrk-ulture. That pomeUiln??
he believes Is the poorness of the public
roads. "I.ant year," says he, "our rail
roads carried a. thousand million tons
of freight. Every year the amount. In
creases. Every pound of this freight In
carted nud carried over our streets and
roads before it gets to the railroad. Mil
lions of tons more are hauled in wagons
and sold In the country towns and con
sumed by the local buyer. Here Is the
farmer's end of It: hay, fifty-four mil
lion tons; ninety million tons of po
tatoes; two million tons of cotton; total.
one hundred and fifty-two million tons,
not counting the mud on the wagon
wheels. Five hundred million dollars
paid for farm Implements and machin
ery to harvest it. Twelve hundred mil
lions invented in farmi horses and'friules
to drag it to market. Think of wait
ing for tho mud to 'dry up.' Sixteen
million horses and mules Idle in tho
stable. Four million dollars a de.y for
horse feed; twenty-eight millions a
week. Think of tho loss of time and
labor; the dwarfed and shrunken values
of our farms; of the slack supply and
good prices when the roads are Impas
sable; think of the proccnslon of farm
ers that rush to town ar.d glut the
market In the first days of dry weath
er, and think of tho paltry prices they
get when everybody is'trying to sell to
an overstocked merchant."
But that is not the whole matter,
even from the farmer's standpoint.
Says Mr. Potter: "Raise the value of
real estate on American farms five per
cent., and you make our farmers rich
er by six hundred and fifty millions
of dollars. Put a like Increase on the
value of farm products, live stock, and
farm machinery and you gain three
hundred and fifty millions more. De
crease the cost of hauling one year's
crop of hay, cereals, potatoes, tobacco,
and cotton, by only ten cents per ton,
and you save fifteen millions of dol
lars. A good road, therefore, Is a splen
did Investment. There never was a
good road made In nny civilised coun
try on earth that didn't pay a hundred
per cent a year on its cost. It raises
the value ot every acre, invites 113 to
market when prices are good, and takes
us out cf the clutches of the commission
pirates who sell our (roods behind our
backs at their own figures, keep their
own accounts, and pay us a plttnncn
for our toll and trouble. A good road
shortens distances, saves time, wagons,
horse-flesh, and harnesses, increases
the load and lessens the burden, and
makes It possible to haul two tons to
market with tho Bame power that now
leaves ono ton stuck In the mire. And
good roads bring; us closer together,
drive out the gloom, make neighbors of
hermits-, discount every farm mortgage,
and bring Joy and contentment to every
community."
It only remains for the farmers of
America to see the force of these argu
ments. When they do this, the road
problem will soon be solved,
Wharton Barker wants a now third
party, pledged to hljrh protection and
tbt fret coinage of silver. The more
sensible plan would be to let the preva
lent gold spasm run its course and then
educate the Republican party back to
first principles.
