Stealing a Dead nan's Prestige.
The ereillt which we had been dis
posed to iicrord lo Mr. liiyiin for sin
cerity In n. fallacious cause has been
seriously shaken by his recent unfair
ness to a distinguished statesman now
dead. When, In his Madison Square
pardon spoec li, the free silver nominee
quoted a Burbled passne from one nf
Janus 11. Elaine's speci lies, lie nut
only resorted to what Rinrig honorable
men Is unlvors- ly regarded n a dis
reputable trick (namely, deliberate per
version of an opponent's nicinlni;) bul
he nlso committed the more serious of
fense of misrepresenting one who Is
no longer alive to set himself right. The
phoul who molests a grave is not more
censurable than Is the orator who tries
to steal for his cause a dead man't
prestige.
We have twice printed long extracts
from the speech of Mr. Blaine to which
Mr. Pryan alludes; and those extracts
have shown in the proverbial tlnrily
of Mr. Blaine's own words that while
he favored in 1878 fan his party favor.
now) the remonetizntioii of silver by
meann of an Internotlinal bimetallic
agreement, nnd, po:-, ncli an agree

tion of the eoinage of silver In this
country In limited amount (as was
done, first undi-r the liland-Allison act
and later under the Sherman act) yet
he opnosed wilh all his superb might
the proposition to plve free and un
limited coinage by this nation alone to
silver dollars the bullion value of each
of which was then worth In the world's
markets only ?2 (now 03) cents. In
case there is any doubt in any voter's
mind as to the authenticity or the ex

or as to the accuracy of its assertions In

tended to reach' every American voter

the tree coinage by this government of
a dishonest dollar. It is false and It Is
infamous. I'.rynn cuimot have been de

told, was "the product of careful prep

false things may lie not stoop to?

nut onI an opportune thonpht but i.lso
a timely lllintratlop of the ,-iy? of ar
gument which Is bcid littid to the re
tlliiivments of the p-.vse.it political
rami also. It does ii.it call name. It
a olds olirnsive personalities. It simp
ly lays before its readers in clear lan
guage the plain, liiipeisonal common
sense of the silver controversy, itiid
leaves the rest to tin lr own hitelli'jeiu c.
This, ns we have repeatedly tried lo
impress upon Hie doha'era of the day,
is what decent people want, whnt they
will listen to ami what they will be in
fluenced by when it comes to mnllilnn
their ballots next November. Without
more ado we give way to our western
contemporary:
"The free silver advocates," it saya,
"grow Indignant when told Hint they
are seeking to substitute a dishonest
dollar for an honest one; hut the fact
remains, nevertheless, that such Is the
purpose, whether they all realize t or
imt. An honest dollar, of course, is a
dollar that comes up to the inscription
on its face and is worth loo cents. We
have dollars of tint kind now. Includ
ing those made of silver, which is to
say that the promise of the government
to maintain the gold standard makes
nil forms of currency as good ns gold.
' But under the fre.- coinage polli y
tills promise could not be kept. The
silver min.rs could lake their bullion
to the mints and receive rtnmped dol
lars In return. They would not be hoiu
est dollars, however. Ill the sense of
being worth b'O cents each. The pov-
rnmrnt would not undertake the lin
posslble task of holding them nt par. It
could not agree to redeem them In gold,
nnd in the absence of such a guarantee,
they would pass only at their intrinsic
value, which would be about fifty crnts
apiece. Tip- government would merely
act as a coinage ntreiit, assuming no
reFponslhlllty beyond that of returning
n given number of silver dollars for a
given ntumint of sliver bullion, as the
miller takes wheat and converts it into
Hour for Ills customers.
"At ti e prec.ent time all sliver dolli.rs
ure coined on account of the govern
ment, and Issued by the government In
payment of Its expenditures and obliga
tions; but In the event of the adoption
of free coinage, the situation would be
very different. 'The dollars would be
coined,' as Secretary Carlisle says In
:i recent letter, ' on private account, nnd
delivered to private Individuals nnd
corporations as their own property, the
government ' i iinr no interest what
ever in them, anil being, therefore, un
der no obligation to sustain them by
guaranteeing their value.' Thus, the
prop of government credit being re
moved, the silver dollar would drop to
the level of lis bullion vrluc. It would
bear the stamp of a dollar, but it would
not be a dollar in fact. The finality of
dishonesty would nituoli to it by reason
of its ntit being What It pretended to be.
"This aspect of the matter Is a inwt
Important one. involving not only a
question of business prudence nnd
safety, btitalsoa consideration of mor
ality. Under the existing system our
dollars are all honest dollars, nnd the
Republican party proposes to keep
them so, Instend of trying the experi
ment of free coinage, which means de
preciation, discredit nnd general mia
l'ortune. Intelligent citizens should
have no diiliculty In s.ong Hint It Is
their duty to vote against a charge
that would Hood the country with
dishonest dollars nnd drive the better
ones out."
The advocates of free sdver male no
claim that the cost of living will le
doubled. They ho'd that the cjst of liv
ing will be enhanced only in proportion
to wages. Scrantoa Times.
Whether they claim this or not and
the fact that tlu-y prophesy higher prices
if free coinage carries constitutes such
a claim In effect It Is a matter of
record that In free silver countries
wages are low and goods are relatively
dear, while In this country, under Pro
tection and the gold standard, wages
have risen while the prices of many
articles have fallen. Why should any
American vote to plve up a pood cer
tainty for a bad uncertainty?
Here Is a queer sample of Philadel
phia Times logic: "The Indianapolis
convention means the right thing done
in the right way. It Will serve twg
mosi Important purposes. First. It will
withdraw from the support of Bryan
nearly or quite a million Democratic
voters throughout the country, and it
will not prevent patriotic Democrats
from voting directly for McKinley In
every doubtful state of the Union." If
patriotic Democrats in doubtful states
are going to vote, as they should, for
McKinley. what, pray. Is the use of a
third ticket? It Is the doubtful states
lhat n ill settle the question at issue.
