There are Republican enouprh In the
United States to clort McKlnley tv(rar,rl
Ipsr of what the Democrats do. Let
RopublU-nns irunrd their own and not
he too ieac;or for new and strange al
liances. Some Hard Facts.
It has been shown repeatedly In these
columns that the free coinage of silver
at 16 to 1 by this nation alone, as pro
posed by Mr. Hryan, would not Increase
but would for a considerable time con
tract the currency. It would have this
effect first, because It would drive Into
hiding or send to Europe the JG2(l.fiOO,000
In gold that Is now In circulation, and
cut to one-half Its value the $175,700,1100
of uncovered paper which Is now main
tained at par on the gold standard.
Here Is an Immediate contraction of
$714,450,000, or about 50 per cent., and if
our mints worked day and night coining
silver dollars on the 16 to 1 basis it
would take them more than fifteen
years to make up the loss, even though
the dollars which they coined could by
law despite commercial discrepancy, be
held up to the value of the gold which
they would supersede an almost In
credible supposition,
But this Is not tbe worst feature about
. the free silver experiment. If there
were any hope that things would even
tually right themselves so as to com
pensate for this sudden rutting of our
circulation In two, we might be able, at
u considerable sacrifice, to stand it Un
fortunately there is no such hope, A
factor remains to bo considered more
important than all the others combined.
It Is estimated by the director of the
mint that while we have in this coun
try ot the present moment a per capita
circulation of $9.00 in gold, J9.0S in sil
ver, and J6.10 in paper, there Is yet to
be reckoned with the fact that we have.
In practical effect, a further per capita
circulation of JS0.C0 in the form of bank
credits. Attains all these Items to
gether, we discover that our real per
capita is $103.67 a sum exceeded by
only one nation In the world, England,
which, upon the same basla of computa
tion, has $1 39.9ft.
Now, we wish to nsk our Democratic
Mends In all candor how long they
think we should continue to have a per
capita circulation of JW.50 in bank
credits if this government were to de
cide to throw its mints open to the free
coinage of the world's silver Into half
value dollars? Let us even suppose
that the bankers of the country are in
conspiracy to maintain the gold stand
ard. Is there any force under heaven
which could compel the banks to main
tain tho present volume of credits un
der a system of financial legislation to
which they are almost without excep
tion opposed? Would not the sudden
withdrawal of these credits produce
such a panic in business that free coin
age, even If attempted, would have to
be precipitately abandoned? ,
- No matter how attractive the propo
sition of Mr. Bryan and colleague nay
look In theory to those who are in debt
and want some form of legislation to
pull them out, it would, if put Into
practice, have to encounter hard facts.
These facts would inevitably stop Its
progress; but not until the country
should have experienced the worst busi
ness convulsion In Its history.
Long before next November the ab
surd free sliver craze will have wilted
so that the tariff will again take its
rightful place as the fundamental is
sue; and the public will perceive that If
the McKlnley tariff had been let alone
there would have been no money ques
tion In national politics.
"The money of the United Slates,
and every kind or form of it, whether
of paper, silver or sold, must be as
good as the best in the world. It most
not only be current at its full lace
value at home, but it must bo counted
nt par in nay and every commercial
center of the globe. The dollar paid
to the farmer, the wnijc-rnrner and
the pensioner must continue forever
equal in pnrchnsing mid debt-paying
power to the dollar paid to any gov
eminent crcditor."--."Mrkinlcy in His
Speeoh of Acceptance.
Isn't it just a little audacious for
eastern Democrats to say that the
Chicago convention which nominated
IJryan was not Democratic? It was
calkd by Democrats, attended by Dem
ocrats and dominated by Democrats.
The Democratic, party In congress ha.
for years been for free stiver, and this
year two-thirds of the Democratic
masses endorsed its attitude. If this
doesn't constitute a Democratic con
vention, what docs?
The Farmer and the Tariff.
The following tabla shows how tlv
McKlnley and the Wilton tai ill's ha'
uffected the growers of American ca:
tie. We are Indebted for it to the Amer
ican Economist:

It Is apparent from this table that
the imports of dutiable cattle have in
creased rapidly since the McKlnley tar
Iff was re!ealed. The increase may bi
made more plain by the following com

In other words, as a consequence of
the Democratic party's recent war upon
the Protective tariff, nearly $770,000 in
cash has been handed over to foreign
farmers which, under the McKlnley
lar.v. would have remained In this coun
try. But that is not all the story. Til
McKlnley law Imposed a specific duty
of $2 per head upon cattle one year
old or less, and $10 per head upon
cattle over one year old. The averaga
value of each dutiable animal Imported
under this law was $7. The Wilson law
imposed an ad valorem duty of 20 per
cent. Under this arrangement the for
eign farmer simply swore that his cat
tle were worth one-third their actual
value, and the custom officials had to
take his word for It. The average value
of each dutiable animal imported since
the Wilson law went into effect Is only
$2.64 as against $7 under the McKln
ley Ioav. In the meantime, the value
of our own cattle has remained prac
tically stationary per head, although In
numbers our herds have seriously de
creased. In 1892, we had In this coun
try 37,651,239 cattle worth $570,749,155;
and in January, 1896, we had only 32,
0SS.803, worth $508,928,416, a loss directly
due to tariff agitation of $61,710,739.
The foregoing are some of the reasons
why the American farmer should steer
clear of the political organization which
opposes a Protective tariff.
Ex-Congressman Snowden, of Le
high wants to know If Mr. Slngerly,
one of the Democratic nominees for
presidential elector, will vote for Bry
an. We don't think he will get the
chance to not in Pennsylvania.
Looking Forward.
A point which may not receive duo
consideration in the present excltei
state of political feeling in the South
and West, but which is sure to make
llself felt eventually, no matter how
this year's election shall go, is thua
judiciously broupht out by Senator Jus
tin S. Morrill In tho August Forum:
Our scutlirrn states ore, lor the most
part, far U.hs densely pofjuUU'J than thtir
sister eUites of equal aye, and the aere.
a of the unctiltlvalid Inn 1 is etior
mously greater. Th unul water power
of tihelr tiumTous rivers, and thjlr inex
haustible Iron ores and coal-fields would
seem to invite an unlimited expansion of
u-iverameii industries as well as a large
Increase of population. Their nuteriul
prosperity and advunc? In the value of
tiheir estates in land must be, lor genera
tions) to come, whclly bnzed uprm Inspir
ing eowflderrce In the owner of f.inttnl
arA in many people to move there w:ih thu
vitvw of finding a safe cvX conferva-ivo
home for both labor and properly. 1 n
stead of t.his the sllvtr heresy, threatening
the stability of all values, rages Ilk an
epidemic In the south, where It may be
s-uppofwd that soma advantage will be de
rived by rhav monry rn payment of cheap
labor. Now Wra highest ambition of nil
enterprising people of our new stnti musit
be to attract large aocesions of on In
dustrious and Intelligent clnrc of citizens
to their respective atates. But will this
be accomplished where one industry alone
is made dominant, and where all other oc
cupations. If not deemed Intrusive, are
held as subordinate, or where there is the
same dictator In politics as In business?
Our western states also want to attract
capital to make great and permammt In
vestments within their magnificent bound
aries; but, as an attractive sign to tempt
either domestic or foreign capital and
labor to go west ot the Mississippi to build
up safe and happy homes, will It be wise to
advertise end tolerate no other financial
fla but the silver standard at 16 to IT
In the end, this sliver agitation is
bound to react most heavily upon the
very sections where it Is now 'the most
powerful, Intolerant and unrelenting.
It will hurt the East and North., of
course; but they are well to do, have
diversified industries, good banking fa
cilities, well-developed natural resourc
es and can quickly recover from the
blow. Not so with the South and West.
In the South, the success of free silver
would bring no relief to the growers of
cotton, although it would stop all other
forms of industry; and the failure cf
that . political experiment would leave
the cotton planter under suspicion
among the givers of credit and set the
whole community back a generation in
Its industrial development. The same
is true In less degree of the West. Free
silver would temporarily enrich the few
silver-producing states, but it would
crlppb nil the others; and the slight
gain which It would bring to the few
would In no wise serve as en adequate
compensation for trie prolonged losses
which It would inflict on the many.
Pascion and prejudice may momen
tarily obscure these facts; but in the
end they will be seen and digested.

American people will come to McKln

The most charitable view of the re
cent conduct of Major General Snowden
toward certain officers of the Thirteenth
regiment. Is that he was not, at the
time of Its occurrence, in a frame of

Is letting Its zeal outrun its discretion.

Judge Lynde Harrison, of New Haven,
Conn., a dekaite-ait-laTge to the Chicago
convention, says: "In my judgment the

the country, be becten overwhelmingly. If
It would rucceed It would be followed by
socialism and anarchy."
Ex-President Harrison Is to firs the first

at National Republican headquarter to

Congres8man Cheadle, of the Ninth (Ind.)
district, hitherto a staunch Republican,

Hlnsham, of Cadiz., O., minister of China
under Oram's administration. So, alsj,
has Captain A. P. Petrle, of Aludo. HI.,
who served in congress as a Republican
In 18S0.
Says the Philadelphia Times: "Wbllj a
third ticket would hold hundreds of thou
sands of Democrats from Rryan, tiie nom
ination of suoh n ticket wou'd not prevent
Intelligent sound money Democrats In
docbtful states or districts from voting In

Mr. Heslng. "I believe that nil party lines
should have been disregarded arid the
tound-money Democrats should have
united with the Ilenuhllcans pnd voted
for McKlnley and the honor of the na
tion. There Is but one Issue before the
rountry and that Is the money question.
The credit and business honor of the coun
try are at stake. It Is no doubt the Idea
of those who are working for the third
ticket that it will benefit the sound -money
cause by drawing from the Bryan vote. I
believe they are mistaken. The silver
men are united and will draw from the
Republican ranks. The sound-money men
should have been willing to tercet the
r.ames Republican and Democrat and vote
for McKlnley ami an honest dollar. In
the pivotal states I believe that the third
ticket will draw more votes from McKln
ley than It will from Bryan. That Is why
I am against it."
Says Congressman Hepburn, of Iowa:
"I do not think that this Is the yeir for
Republicans to yield any of their principles
In order to conciliate the Democrats who
are disgusted with the actions of their own
party. There ia no doubt that tho money
question Is the main Issue In tho cam
palgn, but I do not think H Is Mr Whit
ney's place to suggest to the Kcvublicant
that they abandon all the other oecla'a
tlons of their platform and mnk-i the light
cn the financial Issue alone. The Repub
licans have always been cjri.nittcil to a
tariff sufficient to raise the nec.isary rev
enue to run the government a id to pro
tect American industries from tne che;ip
labor of European concerns. To stirrer,,
dor this principle when it Is er.ibodlej as
ono of the cardinal features of our pint
form would not be acting In gool faith
with the people. I for one do pot bollevo
In making any such concessions to the
Democrats. They know that the Repub
lican plntform and Republican candidates
rtand absolutely for sound money, and It
Mr. Whitney ar.d his colleagues dcslrn the
success of sound money they should drop
their prejudices and vote the Republican
ticket."
IF BRYAN WERE ELECTED.
From tho Post-Kxpress.
Every man. rich or poor, would be in
Jured by Bryao's election, but those who
would be ruined entirely are the mjti
that owe money. If the party of repudia
tion eleols a provident and tho majority of
cet:iicsfl, this will make It certain that
our cunvnoy will b" depreciated by almost
si icr cent. T:v certainty of suoh a meas
ure wc-uld lead every Individual or Insti
tution to which money i. due to make an
immediate call fi r pa.v:io nf. Unless the-
til so, llicy would be mulo'.ed oi one-half
i'l' i:- property, and neither Individual, r.:
tavir.,'8 bank, nor lnvjran-au company.
will wait lot'etitly until repudiation has
compL-led their ruin, i-'or the s.init revt
tun g-.dd will nt once be hotrded, ond we
i-'li'-iVl have a strliiRency such as has never
Ivrcn wltnchsfcd in this country. It will lie
i-!.nw:fcla ti moke n.nv loans, for wh.i
wo-tiM h.' fool rncufih to lend Kold thnt In
six montin will he at a premium of 200,
in order to gt't silver for his pay?
II II II
There arc thousands and hundreds of
Thousands of men who are fairly solvent
while they can obtain ordinary credit, ami
who would be ruined if they were called
upon to pay whuit they owe. Their lot will
be 410 wort-e than that of all thoao who owe
money secured by real estate mortgagee
Lenders will say thut a all events they
can get the pruperty for their d"bts, ana
they will proceed to enforce their liens;
they will not wait to be paid off in silver
What would -be the effect produced. If the
mortgaged held by savings banks, trust
companies ami private individuals In this
country, either on fawns or city houses,
were called in and there was no one ready
to lend money to help out those on Whom
the call was made? It would mean that
every farmer who has a mortgage on his
farm, and every worktngman who has a
mortgage on his house, would lose his
property.
II II II
This Is no Imaginary sketch, it Is what
must result unless. human- nature
changes. Every one, except those who
like Aitgeld and Senator Jones have been
prudent enough to have their mortgages
made payable In gold, would insist on
payment. He who doesn't lo this will lose
half his debt, and the person wno waits
until he suffers that loss must be an Im
becile. Those who contemplate voting for
Bryan had best consider the results sober
ly. A condition of affairs will exist in this
country such as has never been known be
fore, a panic will result such as has never
been seen before. In this panic It will
be the small .people, the farmer or laborer
who has given a mortgage, the tradesman
who relies on his credit at the bank with
wihJch to do business, Who will be forced
to the wall. Thoae who take property for
their dobts ami can hold it will, in a few
years, be alble to dispose of it on a silver
basis and will lose nothing.
II II II
The man who owes money that he Is not
In a position to pay on call, and who votes
for Bryan, is voting for his own ruin.
torXTIXfi THE COST.
Frotm the Philadelphia Times.
There are 1,017 savings banks In the
United Slates, with 4,875,519 Individual
dpoeltora, and the total deposits In our
pavings banks, which are almost wholly
the savings of wage-earners, amount to
$l,810,a!rj.0i. The adoption of the silver
Eitandard would reduce the value of these
Ravings Just one-half. In ot'her words,
the wage-earnrr of the country would
suffer an actual or total los of nearly
$900,01)0,(100 by the degradation of our cur.
