The question Is, are the breweries

Inconsistent Silver Shouters.
It has been the practice for the chief
free silver men, like Senators Jones
and Stewart, to denounce John Sher
man as the high priest of soliMmgism
and the willing; tool of the bond sharks
and plutocrats of Wall street. With
this fact In mind, there are few who
will fall to appreciate the humor of the
polite and courteous counter blow de
livered by the veteran Ohio financier
In his Columbus speech against these
standing assailants of him. It was not
printed In our abstract of that speech
in yesterday's Issue, hence we give it
now:
It has been said that the dropping of
the silver dollar In the coinage art of Kli
wan surreptitiously done. This charge Is
vhown to be false by the debates in con
uress, end especially by the declarations
of the men who now make the charge.
Sixteen months after the passage, of that
net. Senator Jones, of Nevada, in a de
bate In the senate, Jane 11, 1874, said: "f.
am opposed to any proposition, come In
whatever form it may, that attempts to
override what God Himself has made tor
money. I bell.-ve the sooner we como
down to a purely gold standard the better
It will be for the country."
On April i, 1874. he said: "Dae this con
gress mean now to Icavo entirely out of
view and discard forever a standard of
value? And what but gold can be that
standard? What other thing on earth pos
sesses the requisite qualities? , . . Hold
Is the articulation of commerce. It is the
most potent Rfrent of civilisation. It is
gold that has lifted the nation from bar
barlsm. It Is the common denominator of
values. It makes possible tho classifica
tion of labor and the Interchange of com
modities. Gold has Intervened In bargains
made between men since tho dawn of civ
ilization and It has nevei failed to faith
fully fulfil Its part as the universal ogent
and servant of mankind. . . . The value
of gold is not aftoted by the stamp or the
government."
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, in the same
debate on June 12, 1874, said: "Sir, the la
boring man and the producer Is entitled to
have hlaproduot and his labor measured by
the same standard of the world that meas
ures your national debt. . . . 5lve him
such a standard, give him money as you
require from him. You require It from the
producer. You require from the laboring
man gold to pay the Interest on your na
tional debt, which Is right, which cannot
toe avoided If you mean to save national
honor; but then give him the same money
with which to pay that debt. The Ques
tion will never be settled until you de
termine the simple question whether tho
laboring man la entitled to have gold
dollar if he earns It. or whether yon are
going to cheat turn with something else.
That Is the upshot of . the whole thing.
Everybody has to say that the laboring
man 4s entitled to a good dollar. There
have been a great many battles fought
against gold, but gold has won every trme.
Gold never has compromised. . . . Gold
has made the world respect It all the
time."
In 1874 Nevada was not nearly no
valuable a mining camp as it became
subsequently and Its silver product was
not so materia a resource. Can it be
that the development of the Nevada
silver workings) was what converted
Messrs. Jones and Stewart from the
sold . to the silver side of the money
question? It would seem that they
owe the public an explanation.
In 1873, with a population ot 40,000,000,
we had 1751.000,000 of money in circula
tion; In 1895, with 70,000.000, we had
$1,600,600,000. Tet the sllverltes say
there has been a contraction of the cur
rency, that money Is scarce, and that the
-only way to make It plentiful Is to coin
It cents' worth of silver bullion intu a
unk5ni SEED
legal tender dollar. That money, just
now. Is scarce we admit, because the
free silver erase has scared It into hid
ing. But It wasn't scarce when we had
Protection, when we did our own work,
had abundant chances to earn good
wages and were not afraid to invest our
surplus money in new business enter
prises. The man who earns a day's wages is
entitled to have those wages paid to
him In dollars equal to the best.
"I do not know what yon think
about it, but I believe that it is a
good deal better to open the
Mills of the United States to the
labor of America than to open np
the mints of the United States
to the silver of the world."
WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
It would seem to a man up a tree
that scant courtesy has been shown to
ex-LIcutenant Governor Watres by the
Philadelphia syndicate which is man
aging the John Wanamaker senatorial
boom, when they send emissaries laden
with cash into this region to set up a
Wanamaker delegation. Does Mr.
Wanamaker, who poses as a moral
man, know of these doings; and it so,
does he approve them?
Labor's Best Friend.
One of the most compact statistical
tables illumining this currency ques
tion which has yet appeared has re
cently been compiled by Edward At
kinson. Mr. Atkinson is a man with
many idiosyncrasies, but as a etatls
tlcan he ranks among the best. There
is no safer authority In this country
on a subject of this kind. Here is the
table In question. Taking the condi
tions prevalent in 1860 as the starting
point, it shows subsequent

Authority Senate report on prices and
wages complied under the direction of
Commissioner Carroll D. Wright.
I. Average prices of articles of common
use selected according to their relative
Importance composing 68.60 per cent, of
total expenditures computed by Professor
A. P. Falconer.
II. Relative wages of workmen aver
aged according to the Importance of the
occupations. Computed by Professor Fal
coner. III. Ratio of prices to wages converted
Into purchasing power, computed by Ed
ward Atkinson. A simple average of all
rprices and all wages give closely corre
sponding results.
IV. and V. From reports of director of
United States mint.
It will be observed that while wages
since 1860 have Increased under the
gold standard nearly 70 per cent, in
amount and nearly 80 per cent, in pur
chasing power, the fall in silver has
gone on with scarcely any Interrup
tion. Had we been on the silver stand
ard during thin time the reverse of
these conditions would have been ex
perienced; namely, declining' wages
and purchasing power with increasing
prices. This table shows very con
clusively to any one who will study It
attentively that the gold standard Is
labor's best friend.
A workman In a mine up the valley
was asked by his employer recently how
he intended to vote this fall, whether
for sound money or for free silver.
His reply, in n rich Hibernian brogue,
put the whole issue In a nutshell: "Be-
gorra," said he, "I'll be after votln' for
free silver whlnevor I kin get a law
passed to make you double me wages,
sor; but until then, I want to be paid in
dollars worth all I earn."
The False Recipe for Parity.
One of the most specious of the fal
lacies employed by the free coinage sll-
verltes is comprised in the assertion
that under their scheme ot legislation
"silver will appreciate to Its value prior
to demonetization, while gold will
tumble to such a point that a parity will
he reached and maintained." Bryan
said as much as this In his speech of
acceptance; all the minor prophets of
repudiation now daily re-echo his as
sertlon.
Apart from the sublime audacity of
an argument based upon the claim that
legislation by one nation can practically
revolutionize values throughout the
world, this parity plea has the disad
vantage ot having all the facts ot past
experience massed dead against it, not
withstanding that the two metals have
never previously been -so far apart as
they are today. Long before the pres
cnt controversy began, Ricardo gave
the following account of the conditions
in England so long as both metals were
legal tender for considerable amounts.
He says: "It appears, then, that whilst
each of the two metals were equally a
legal tender tor debts ot any amount,
we were subject to a constant change
in the principal standard measure of
value, It would sometimes be gold.
and sometliues silver, depending en
tirely on the variations In the relative
value of tho two metals; and at
such times the metal which was not the
standard would be melted and with
drawn from circulation, as its value
would be greater than In coin. This
was an inconvenience which it was
highly desirable should be remedied,
but so slow is the progress of improve
ment that although It had been unlver-
ally demonstrated by Mr. Locke, and
had been noticed by all writers on the
subject ot money since his day, a better
system was never adopted till the ses
sion of parliament in 1816, when it was
enacted that gold only should be a legal
tender for any sum exceeding forty
shillings."
The country to which we are con
stantly and specially pointed as being
'bl-metalllc" Is France; and we hear.
over and over again, in the writings
and speeches of the advocates ot silver,
that Franco "maintained the parity bf
the metals" for centuries and remained
bl-metallic. Let us hear what Cheval
ier, professor of political economy in
the college of France, and member of
the Institute, says in regard to the con
current circulation of gold and silver in
France: "I remember," he says, "that
a change of one and a half per cent. In
favor ot gold, about thirty or forty
years ago, caused it to disappear en
tirely from commercial payments."
This was written in 1857. and Chevalier
was at that time a staunch advocate
ot silver. In our own country it a
familiar fact that prior to 1873 gold and
liver never circulated side by side.
Sometimes sliver had the Held to itself
and sometimes sold, but there was no
permanent parity and never any concur
rence of circulation. Yet prior to 1873
silver's commercial value was greater
than 16 to 1, and consequently parity
should have been Infinitely easier of
accomplishment than it would be today,
when the commercial value of silver is
to the commercial value of gold in
the proportion of nearly 32 to 1.
The fact is, parity under unlimited
coinage of silver, if possible of achieve
ment at all, is possible only through
concurrent action by aU the principal
commercial nations. No one nation,
and no two or even three nations, could
hold 60 cent silver up to the level ot
100-cent gold, any more than King
Canute of' England could by Imperial
edict order back the rising tide at the
seashore.
The capture of last week's York coun
ty primaries by John Wanamaker Is
ascribed In some quarters to the same
tactics that have characterised the pro
motion ot this particular senatorial
boom In other localities. Mr. Wana
maker has returned from Europe and
must be assumed to be cognizant of the
methods which are being employed in
his behalf. Consequently It Is not In
justice to him to infer that his candi
dacy for a seat In the senate of the
United States rests mainly upon the
readiness with which his bank account
is supposed to respond to sight drafts for
services rendered. In any other sense
that candidacy offers few recommenda
tions, and sinks Into Insignificance beside
a candidacy of real merit like that of
Daniel H. Hastings. We sincerely
trust that the auction block will not be
set up at Harrlsburg next winter.
The commotion which is being made
over the report that Bryan is in the
pay of the Bimetallic League is another
case of much ado about nothing. It will
be generally conceded that the silver
barons have a right to hire a special
pleader If they want to; and If they
have hired Bryan they have obviously
shown good Judgment.
Money cannot be got honestly in this
country without hard work. The Re
publican party's aim Is to legislate so
that labor will have a chance for steady
work. Then the money question will
regulate itself.
A good egg Is better than a bad egg;
and on precisely the same principle a
good dollar is better for all concerned
than a bad dollar which is 47 per cent
gas.
For a sidetracked issue we must say
the tariff is exhibiting wonderful vital
ity. SECRET OF HAPPINESS.
From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
Andrew Carnegie contributes an au
tobiographical sketch to a British mag
azine, recounting the humbleness of his
beginnings how his father, coming to
ruin by the transformation of the fuetory
system in England, emigrated to this
country when Andrew was ten years old.
He writes with unction of the triumph l.e
felt when he received his tlrst wages for
a week's work, 81.20, In a Pittsburg cot
ton ractory: He records the event In this
significant admission: "I cannot tell you
how proud 1 was when I received my first
week's own earnings. I have had
to deal with great sums many millions
of dollars have since passed through my
hands; but putting all these together,
and considering money-making as a
means of pleasure giving, or of
genuine satisfaction, I tell you that t!.2i)
outweighs all. It was the direct reward
of honest manual labor.
II '! II
It is not, however, to embalm his record
that the millionaire sets forth the hard
years of toll he passed through. He
writes to warn the restless money-maker
that there is no Joy In wealth! That he
pities the sons and daughters of the rich;
that true family untty Is only to be found
In the homes of toll, where all are welded
In mutual love by equal burdens! "It
is because I know how sweet, and happy
and pure the home of honest poverty is,
how free from care, from quarrels, that
I sympathize with the rich man's boy
and congratulate the poor man's boy,
and it is for these reasons that from tho
ranks of the poor the great and the goad
have always sprung and always must
spring." From tho pen of a millionaire
the doctrine has the novelty of the unex.
pected. Perhaps, however, his paean on
poverty will most surprise the philan
thropist: "It seems nowadays a matter
of universal desire that poverty should
be abolished. We should be quite willing
to abolish luxury, but to abolish poverty
would be to destroy 'the only soil upon
which mankind can depend to produce
the virtues which alone can enable our
race to reach a still higher civilisation
than It now possesses."
II !! II
Happily Mr. Carnegie Illustrates in his
own case how Immense wealth may be
made to give happiness to Its possessor
as well as ths means of happiness to those
V '
less fortunate. His has held wealth in
trust for those who haven't the gift of
accumulation, that subtle order of genius
that distinguishes many men of great
gifts from others of possibly greater sit u,
but unequal to the magic touch that
transforms everything laid hold of Into
the Increment of wealth. Happiness, as
Mr. Carnegie's own case proves. Is en
tirely compatible with great wealth, if
the kindly impulses be given a chance.
FOOLISH TALK.
From the Citizen!
A certain amount or wild and foolish
talk Is inevitable when the popular mind
la excited and the present political crisis
proves no exception to the rule. Some
mad things have been said by both re
sponsible and Irresponsible persons, as
for instance, that "for the first time In
the history of this country Americans are
told that they must ask foreign countries
how they shall govern themselves." The
implication is that ths la Intolerable to
thu "American spirit." and that this
country is big enough and strong enough
to manage ts own affairs without any ref
erence to the methods and policies of
other governments. But even America Is
subject to certain natural laws such as
the law of gravitation, and to certain
economic laws such as Uresham's law; o
long as we are in commercial relationship
with foreign countries we must obey tho
laws of commerce or suffer disaster. These
laws were not made by foreigners; like the
law of gravitation they "Just are." and
concessional flats enn't alter them.
THE OSE THI E COJiCLlSIOJC.
From the Toronto Olobe.
The conclusion to which we must come,
and to which the people of the United
States, after carefully thinking over the
matter, must come. Is that the fall In the
price of farm produce l caused not so
much toy currency troubles as by rea
son of the opening up of great new agri
cultural area In countries where labor Is
vastly cheaper than in tho I'nlted States.
The price of the world's wheat is set in
Liverpool, and so long as Liverpool can get
wheat from Argentina at 50 cents a bushU,
In 'the production of which only fifteen
cents' worth of labor is required, it will
not pay the American farmer 1 for wheat
simply because there are thirty cents'
worth of labor and fifty cents' worth of
mortgage Interest included In the price.
WANTS CHEAP MONEY.
From the Toronto Globe.
If the decision of the United States to
coin all the silver bullion presented
raises the price ot silver bullion to that
of coined silver, how will the farmer bene
fit by the change? Ho will still have to
pay the old rate of Interest, and there will
be no advantage In paying It In silver If
silver Is to be as dear as gold. If the far
mer thought free silver did not mean
cheap money he would abandon the sliver
movement at once. It Is becauo he does
believe it, In spite of Mr. Bryan's argu
ment, that the farmer stands behind tho
Democratic candidate and shouts for him
and his policy.
WHAT IT MEANS.
From the Times-Herald.
The proposal to open the mints of tho
United States to the free and unlimited
coinage or silver on private account
means a class privilege or colossal mag
nitude for sliver miners. It means rob
bery of half its value of every dollar's
worth of other property held or debt; due
to any citizen or the United States. It
means double the amount of taxes now
paid by each citizen. It means cutting In
two the dollar now paid In wages. It
means doubling the price of every indis
pensable of existence In the United States,
OUT Ol' THE QUESTION.
From tho Philadelphia Times.
No intelligent thinker need be told that
the government could not, by any legis
lation, make silver bullion, now worth 81
cents -r ounce, "worth 11.29 per ounce In
gold throUKhout tho world," any more
than they could legislate a half pint Into a
pint, or a half yard Into a yard, or u half
pound Into a pound, or a half bushel Into
a bushel.
THE BRAV EST SOLUIEIt.
The bravest soldier that I know
Carries a wooden gun;
The battles he lights are long and tierce,
And he Is never known to run
No matter how strong the enemy Is,
Or how loudly his cannon roars.
And such fearful things ns bursting shells
This soldier of mine ignores.
Tho sword he carries Is made of tin,
A mnrreU and twisted blade.
That faithful service has performed
In many a desperate raid,
When, all alone, this soldier of mine
-Holily sets out to light
Ten thousand strong, determined men '
And put them all to flight.
A nolil.- steed this soldier rides,
Faltliful, strong and good;
He has no need or food or drink.
For he is mnde of wood.
Oh. they're a valiant fearless pair?
Battling to them Is play,
For this soldier, you see, 's my only boy,
And he's four years old today!
