One beauty about Tom Reed"
speeches Is that any man who has any
brains worth mentioning can under
stand every word he says.
Mr. Blaine, to be sure, favored ,tho
double (or Joint) standard, on an In
ternational basis. In that respect he
differed from Bryan, who, while pre
tending to be a bimetallism Is In real
ity .working for the single silver stand,
aid, which means GO-cent dollars and
commercial retrogression.
The United States Is a great nation,
the greatest on earth. But the United
States, in all Its greatness, doesn't pos
sess strength enough to force the worl 1
to accept 50 cents' worth of silver bul
lion bearing a Yankee stamp at a val
uation of one dollar. It cannot make
two and two equal eight.
It Is the verdict of traveling men who
Journey from the west that the free
coinage epidemic is already on the de
cline, and the action of the Colorado
state Republican committee In decid
ing to stand by McKInley and the St.
Louis platform is a circumstance that
seems to corroborate this theory.
There is one factor In the present
political problem which it would be wise
to keen in mind. When the women of
the country learn that free silver will
mean, according to the promises of Its
advocates, a doubling of the cost of
bread, tea, coffee, sugar and other arti
cles of food, without any corresponding
doubling of the ppportunlty to buy, will
they permit their husbands to vote for
It? Not by a good deal. '
When we first coined silver in 1792,
we made the ratio between It and gold
IE to 1. This ratio, we found, underval
ued gold. Then, in 1834, we changed the
ratio to 16 to 1. This ratio, it was soon
found, undervalued silver, but after
ward silver was produced in such
abundance that its ratio toward gold
began to fall until now it Is down almost
to 32 to 1. The point we wish to bring
out Is that gold, at all times, has been
'the constant, and sliver the variable.
Gold is always the "1," and silver the
n5," the "If or the "32." Gold, there
fore, is the stable standard.
The Cleveland correspondent of the
Pittsburg Dispatch telegraphs to hi
paper: "One thing may be stated pog.
ltlvely, and that is neither Mr. Hanna
nor Major McKInley will consent to
give up the tariff as a leading issue
of the campaign for the sake of the
support of the Whitney followers In
New York tand New England. This
much has been settled at the several
interviews which Mr. Hanna and the
major have held here during the 'last
two days. The other demands which
TlHt
the gold Democrats have made havo
been left wholly In Mr. Hanna'a hands,
by Major McKInley. Mr. Hanna may
make - any arrangement he sees fit,
and Major McKInley will agree to it;
but the tariff Is to be put forth in all
campaign speeches and made a lead
ing Issue, notwithstanding the stand
taken by the gold Democrats." The
free traders will not have the pleas
ure of being let off without a trial for
the misery into which their policy has
plunged the country during the last
three years.
"The money of the United States,
and every kiad or form of it, whether
of paper, silver or gold, must be as
good as the best in the world. It most
not only be current at its full face
value at home, but it must be counted
at par in any and every commercial
renter of the globe. The dollar paid
to the farmer, the wngo-enrner and
the pensioner must continue forever
equal in purchasing and debt-paying
power to the dollar paid to any gov
ernment crcditor."-McKinley in His
Speech of Acceptance.
The Republican state committee will
gladly mall political literature to every
voter requesting It. The Republican
who has a free silver neighbor should
send his name to Chairman John P.
Elkln. Philadelphia. 1
Free Silver and the Farmer.
We unreservedly agree with The
Manufacturer In Its opinion that the
present Inclination of many eastern
newspapers to ridicule and satirize the
farmers of the country because as a
class they are Inclined to favor free
coinage is wrong in Judgment and per
nicious In policy. Our contemporary
opportunely points out that the agric
ultural masses of the country "have al
ways been the great conservative body
of the country: have always stood fast
for the maintenance of public order,
and for opposition to extreme measures
and violent changes." They are some
times misled Into wrong conclusions,
but they are never, as a class, guilty
of conscious dishonesty. To jeer at
their just grievances and make sport
of their misfortune Is to do In the first
place a very foolish, unmanly thing,
and In the second place, a very danger
ous thing; for should the farmers ever
be moved to band together In a spirit
of anger for the punishment of their
traducers, mischief would certainly be
to pay. The safety of the republic de
pends In the last analysis upon the
prosperity of the tillers of the soil, who
create the chief part of Its wealth;
and therefore it is the highest work of
patriotism to endeavor not to inflame
but to tranquillize the farmers and to
point out to them safe and rightful
avenues to self-Improvement.
There cannot be denial of the fact
that the average condition of the Amer
ican farmer is one of serious hardship.
While the merchant, the banker and
the manufacturer, living within the cir
cle of urban social and educational ad
vantages, rise as a rule to affluence and
distinction, the farmer, who Is perhaps
morally their superior, works hard, de
nies himself and his family much, and
when he closes his account, finds him
self very little better off than when he
began. Such a contrast Inevitably
breeds discontent. In the cities, the
man who does not succeed In life often
turns anarchist and tries to blow
things up. But the farmer, as yet has
contented himself with political pro
test Beldom wise, shrewd or effective,
but rarely lacking in emphasis. Into
this feeling of unrest demagogues have
planted the notion that free coinage
would right matters. Four years ago
they told the farmer that what he need
ed was free trade. Four years hence
they will probably have an entirely dif
ferent panacea. They play upon the
fanner's misfortunes, not because they
really care about him, but because It
opens the door to their own enrichment
or advancement.
During this campaign we shall have
frequent occasion to point out whether
or not free coinage would be of real
benefit to the farmers of the country.
At present we shall content ourselves
with offering for the consideration of
those of our readers who are engaged
In farming a few facts taken from an
article in the Pittsburg Dispatch. That
paper has computed the range of prices
of sixteen staple farm products, taking
as par the prices for the three years
1871-4, when silver was demonetized,
and comparing them with the prices In
1890, '91 and '92; also In 1893, '94 and
'93. This is the result:
18W-2. 1893-6.
Wheat 73 49
Rye 80 70
Oats 100 78
Cotton 53 43
Ohio wools 68 45
Corn 104 87
Mess pork 83 105
Bacon and hams 93 103
Salt beef .81 81
Butter 83 97
Eggs 81 94
Horse 101 0
Mules 104 70
Milch cows 83 75
Sheep 100 81
Swine 122 121
Average 87 79
In reference to this table the Dis
patch says: "On these 16 leading agri
cultural staples, the average decline
of the past three years is at a rata
nearly four times as great per year aa
the decline for the preceding 18 years.
But that fact is no more instructive
than some others which appear. There
are certain staples which have ben
subjected to well-known influences, en
tirely outside of the monetary ques
tion. The farmer, who Is urged to re
lieve his position by voting for free
silver, should ask these questions:
"The prices of oats, horses and mules
were as great or greater after 18 years or
demonetisation, but then they dropped SO
to 40 per cent. Would free silver have pre
vented the development of the trolley and
bicycle T
"Sheep were worth aa much In 1890-1 as
In 1871-4. Will the Democratic free trade
candidate restore the tariff on woolT
"Wheat and cotton show the most ruin
ous decline. Would free silver have pre
vented the opening of 160,000,000 new acres
la this country, and of Illimitable nelda In
Russia, Egypt, India and the Argentine
Republic? And what difference will It
make In the value or wheat and cotton to
make a cheaper silver dollar when the
price will be fixed by the same gold value
In Liverpool?
'Finally, when the staples affected by
special and well-known causes are taken
out of the table, the average decline In the
eleven remaining ones was ( per cent. In
18 years, and has since been 5 per cent.
In three years. Does not this show that
farmers need settled confidence and gen
eral consumption more than further legis
lative Interference with business?"
"The farmer's position," as our Pitts
burg contemporary justly concludes,
"presents many problems, and some es
pecial hardships. But If the facts are
fairly understood, they show clearly
that the monetary question has little
to do with it. and that the free silver
remedy Is the most arrant quackery."
Read this from the Toronto World,
of Tuesday: "There Is a considerable
volume of American sliver In circula
tion In Canada. If free silver should
prevail In the United States, this coin
would have no gold behind It to main
tain It at Its face value. American
silver would then have to rely wholly
on Its own Intrinsic and commercial
value. The gold Bupport being taken
away, the American silver dollar would
be worth only fifty cents of Canadian
money. The free silver agitation has
advanced so far that several Canadian
banks and merchants have already be
gun to refuse American silver. The
Montreal Street railway says It will
soon have to refuse American silver
from the public, because Its bank, In
turn, will not accept It from them.
It Is very likely that this condition
will soon become general. American
silver will no doubt disappear almost
entirely from Canada before November
next." Before Protection was strick
en down at Washington and business
confidence unsettled, American money
iwas acceptable at practically its face
value everywhere In the civilized world.
The Democratic national platform
this year reiterates that party's famil
iar call for a "revenue only" tarlir.
Mr. Bryan, the Democratlo candidate,
said In congress and on the stump, three
years ago, that the Wilson bill would
be a "revenue only" tariff. Well, we
have since had a trial of the Wilson
bill. How has It fulfilled Its framers'
predictions? Who wants to put confi
dence in their word again?
Says the T'sies: "Should McKInley
be elected he will be compelled to Is
Bue bonds, just as President Cleveland
has been." If he does It .will be Cleve
land's fault. There was no bond issu
ing until Democracy tried to smash ths
Protective tariff, and the gold standard
never gave us a particle of trouble
until the nation, under free trade man
agement, got head over heels In debt.
Those Democrats who urge tha dl
vlson of the sound money force by
the nomination of a bolting ticket show
that they put partisan intrigue above
the public welfare. Fortunately the
number of such Democrats is compara
tively small

honest money and the chance to earn
it by honest toil.".. William McKin.

The tariff not an Issue? Who says so
beside the tariff-wreckers, that have
reason to want the Issue changed?
WHO WOULD SUFFER.
From the Philadelphia Times.
There are in the United States 5,000,000
persons who hold policies In life Insurance
companies, and they are Insured to the
aggregate sum of tl3,0ii0.000,000. While
two-thirds ot the 113,000,000,000 or insur
ance Is held by men or fortune, the re
maining one-third is held by men or mod
erate means, and very largely wage-earners.
A large majority or the policy-hold,
ers are men without fortune, whose fam
Hies would, be largely dependent upon life
Insurance for support In the event of the
death of the head or the family. The
adoption or the silver standard would
make the amount or life insurance paid
to the 5,000,000 people who hold policies not
over $7,000,000,000 in actual value, being a
loss of W.OW.OUO.UOO to the policy-holders, a
large majority of whom are dependent
upon their dally labor.
Tho wnge-earners of the country, organ
ized as home-builders In the various build,
lng associations or the country, have ac
cumulated savings to the extent or S500,
000,000, by which most or them expect soon
er or later to become owners or their
homes. The adoption or the silver stand,
anl would reduce the value or the savings
or the wage-earning home-builders from
8300,000,000 to about S250.O0O.OO0. This loss
would be suffered without any compensa
tion to the people generally and with ad
vantage to none unless It be the few silver
producers.
There are In round numbers 6,000,000 or
wage-earners In the country who have
deposited or their savings In the savings
banks of the country over 31,800,000,000.
This is the savings or the wage-earners
or the country, and It has been deposited
In dollars worth 100 cents in gold. The
adoption or the silver standard would re
duce these deposits or the savings or
wage-earners nearly or quite one-hair,
making an absolute and Immediate loss In
the savings or labor or 1900,000,000,
There are in round" numbers 950,000 pen
sioners In the United States, made up or
the veterans or the war and their widows
and orphans. Their pensions amounting
to 8140,000,000 annually. The adoption or
the sliver standard would reduce these
pensions nearly or quite one-hair, making
an annual loss to the pensioners of the
country of about 170.000,000.
The various Industries or this country
now pay annually to worklngmen 17,125,
000.000 In wages. They are now paid In
gold or Its equivalent, and each dollar,
whether gold, silver or paper. Is or equal
purchasing power. The adoption or the
silver standard would reduce the value ot
the money paid for wages at the present
rate $3,500,000,000 each year.
The experience of the world Is uniform
In teaching that when money has cheap
ened In value, the wages or labor have not
advanced in proportion. In 18G5, when the
country was regarded as prosperous after
the close of the war, although the nominal
wages had been Increased over the wages
paid In 1860, the actual purchasing value of
the wa.es or labor In 1805 was but 64 per
cent, or the purchasing value or the wages
or the same class in 1860. In 1879, when we
had resumed specie payments and re
gained the gold standard, the wages paid
to labor purchased 46 per cent, more than
the wages earned In 1800,
While the success of the free silver the
ory that would bring us to the silver
standard ot money along with the other
silver countries or the world, would be de
structive In every channel o commerce,
Industry and trade. It would specially af.
feet most disastrously the classe we have
numerated: and when It Is considered
that it would strike the Industrial and
poorer classes to the extent of many bil
lions each year, how can the honest work
lngmen of the land entertain for a mo
ment the proposition to plunge the coun
try Into national dishonor, and all tha
great enterprises or Its people into con
vulsion and panic?

Those sweet moments were to you,
And whene'er your mind recalls It

At the closing of the day?
If you did, you know how precious

And whene'er your mind recalls It

Take your sweetheart out a-wheeling
