It doesn't take 16 of William McKln
loy'a sentences to coin ono Idea.
Tho Paramount Issue.
We are glad to notice that In his ripe
Mid well-phrased speeches to the dlp
gations which from time to time visit
him nt Canton, Major McKlnlcy is tak
ing nothing back. He still asserts, up
on appropriate occasions, that the fun
damental dlffjculty before the Ameri
can people Is a wrong adjustment of
the tariff, and that until that wrong
adjustment Is righted the country will
not experience that measure of well
diffused prosperity to which by every
natural advantage It Is clearly entitled.
The Republican press has met the
enemy on the money question, point by
point. Ilecause this question Is com
paratively new to the majority of read
ers It has responded with alacrity to
the popular demand for Information.
From this circumstance It may have
been Inferred that the Republican line
of battle was to be shifted from the
tariff question to the currency issue.
But the well-considered addresses of
the Republican standard-bearer con
clusively demonstrate that such an In
ference) Is erroneous. Identified as
William McKtnley is with the doctrine
of Protection to American labor and
American Industrie, it would be a
piece of incredible self -stultification
were he now to consent to a shelving
of the tariff as a topic of economic de
bate. Pour years ago he predicted
what has come to pass and foretold
the disaster which has resulted from an
attempted obliteration of Protection.
Today he owes his presidential nomi
nation to the fulfillment of his prophe
cy and to the popular consciousness
that his style of tariff is the kind that
keeps labor at work. The mistake of
1892 is being repented in 1S96, and it
would be folly a thousand fold multi
plied for Major McKinley to keep si
lent on this vital aspect of the situa
tion. It is true that the Democratic nomi
nee favors free silver, which is a policy
fraught with enormous, although as yet
problematical hazards. But it la also
true that he la Just as radical an ad.
vocate of free trade, a policy whose
dangers have within the past three
years been seen and felt. He strives
to keep this fact in the background,
but he cannot remove it from view.
He has said that he would not stop un
til "the last vestige of Protection shall
be eradicated." He Is an extremist
among free traders; a revolutionist
as well on the tariff as on the money
Issue. The Republican party owes it
to a country which a partial adoption
of Bryan's free trade views has all
but bankrupted; to the workingmen
whose work It has sacrificed and whose
Vages it has reduced; to the business
Interests generally upon which It has
Inflicted wanton loss to bring this fact
out clearly before the people .and .let
them make up their ballots with it In
mind. V .
. "The thing to do," says the- gun; In
peaking of the approaching Indian'
apolls sound money convention, "is to
beat the forces of repudiation and an
archy, to maintain the national credit,
to reject the gospel of riot. The way
to do It Is to vote for William McKin
ley. It will not pay to take any
chances." Nothing can be added to this
advice. The man who is not for Mc
Kinley Is necessarily against sound
money. That is how the situation has
shaped itself and it will do no good
to try to pretend otherwise.
"I do not know what yon think
about it, bat 1 believe that it is a
good deal better to open the
mills of the United States to the
labor of America than to open op
the mints or the United Slates
to the silver of the world."
WILLIAM M'KIXLEY.
By what special right does Mr. Bryan
assume to speak for the "common peo
ple?" Before he usurps this preroga
tive let him show his credentials.
Religion la the Campaign.
It Is a circumstance of noteworthy In
terest that the religious press of the
country, although ordinarily silent in
matters of purely partisan discussion,
has in this campaign taken high and
strong ground for the election of Mc
Kinley and Hobart, and the preserva
tion unsullied of the nation's financial
honor. We know Of no conspicuous ex
ception to this statement among the re
ligious Journals of Protestant affilia
tions, and few of our Catholic contemp
oraries openly advocate the free coin
age of silver.
Tho Independent In a recent issue tells
why It has declared for sound money,
and incidentally disposes of the plea
that the clergy should keep still about
live moral Issues. "If religion," it says,
"means going to church and kneeling
down before God and saying, 'Our Fa
ther,' and nothing' more, then religion
may have nothing to do with the Is
sues of the coming presidential cam
paign. But If whatever things are hon
est, pure, and of good report are a part
of rellgon, then this campaign is not
without Its religious side. Three years
ago the Independent signed a lease
promising to pay $10,000 a year, more
or less, for the rent of the premises It
occupies. That gave the owner of the
building a fair Income from, the amount
of money which had been Invested in
it. That $10,000 which we promised to
pay was the money of the country,
which has been kept equal with gold
ever since the resumption of specie pay
ments. It was perfectly understood that
those dollars would be dollars equal to
gold, as the government had kept them
equal to gold. The $10,000, more or less,
we paid last year and tho year before,
was of the value of 10,000 gold dollars In
London or Berlin or Paris, as well as
in New York. The proprietor of the
building could take the money to Europe
and exchange It for 2,000 English
pounds, or 40,000 German marks, or 60,-
000 French francs.
"Now the Democrat and Populist
platforms propose that we shall pay
that rent next year not in $10,000 In New
York, such as are worth 2,000 In Lon
don, 40,000 marks In Berlin, and EO.OOO
francs In Paris, but in stiver dollars,
which shnll not be kept up to the value
of gold, and which the owner of this
building can exchange for but a little
more than 1,000 in London, 20,000 marks
in Berlin, and 25,000 francs In Paris.
What they propose that we shall pay is
about $5,300 value In gold, but they pur
pose calling It $10,000 In silver. They
ask us to vote that we may be allowed
to rob tho owner of our premises to the
extent of say, $4,700 a year.
"Now, as we understand It, they are
asking us to steal; and stealing we con
sider Irreligious, and we do not pro
pone to do It. We shall do our best to
have our rent continue payable In gold
dollars; worth $10,000 anywhere in the
world, worth the same in London, Ber
lin and Paris, as it was when we made
our contract, three years ago; and we
decline the temptation to pay a sum
of money which would be worth in the
markets of the world only $5,300. We
are told that there Is no religion In this.
It Is a part of our religion."
If there were more of this religion of
honesty In everyday business affairs
there would be less of the present so
cialistic and agrarian agitation for the
spoliation of the rich.
Mr. Bryan calls this a "thinking cam
paign." That Is what It Is and that is
why Mr. Bryan will sustain defeat. The
thinking voters will have none of him.
Fair Play for Cameron.
On one point we must admit that we
are skeptical; and that Is that Senator
Cameron contemplates making a cam
paign for re-election. It Is true that
several Influential persons have recently
in public manner put forward the as
sertion that his letter of withdrawal
was not genuine; that it was really part
of a studied plot to deceive and confuse
the people, divide the field with a num
ber of decoy candidates and finally en
able these spurious candidates to
throw their following to Cameron and
re-elect him. But in nearly every in
stance when this assertion has been
traced to its 'original source, it has
been found to emanate from the mer
cenary syndicate of professional poli
ticians which, with Frank Willing
Leach at their head, has recently been
employed by John Wanamaker to set
up the next legislature In his Inter
est In other words, the godly Fhlladol
phlan who on Sunday expounds morals
to a Sunday school, does not scruple,
on week days, to Impute to Senator
Cameron motives that would be grossly
dishonorable, In order to play upon a
popular prejudice against Mr. Cameron
and trick the publlo IntA a tali belief
as to the necessity of his own election
to Cameron's place.
There Is a commandment in Holy
Writ which says: "Thou shalt not bear
false witness." But to all appearances
this has been eliminated from the Wan
amaker decalogue, or else has been
ground to pieces In the ex-postmaster
general's boasted mixing of politics and
religion. Instead we have an unblushing
display of the ethics of the bargain
counter, in which cheating Is apparent
ly placed at the top of the list of vir
tues, and "every thing goes."
For our own part, while we have noth
ing in common with Senator Cameron,
yet we have every reason to suspect
that his written word Is as much to be
relied upon as is the defamatory whis
per of the ambitious merchant who
aches to fill Cameron's shoes. The
party, at all events, proposes to act
upon the supposition that Cameron In
his letter to Senator McCarrell told the
truth and meant to retire. But It does
not necessarily follow that because
Cameron will not be elected next win
ter, his defamer will. There are better
senatorial possibilities within view
than John Wanamaker and at tho
proper time they will doubtless be made
known.
"I would say to a voter. You are
either In favor of a silver dollar pos
sessing the same purchasing; and debt
paying power as the gold dollar, or you
must be In favor of a dollar which will
buy less and pay less than a gold dol
lar. If you favor the latter you must
advocate a law compelling the Ameri
can farmer and the American laborer
to accept for their products and toll
dollars which will pay less debts and
buy less of those things which they
need than the dollar which now circu
lates In this eountry. If you propose
to compel our farmers and mechanics
to accept dollars with one-half the pur
chasing and debt-paying powers of our
present dollars, they will both be rob
bed of one-half tho Just fruits of their
toll; or you must be prepared to guar
antee them a double price and a double
wage In the new silver dollar. Your
promise to this effect la based upon
nothing but the vaguest kind of theor
izing. You could not borrow a dollar,
no! not a Mexican dollar on a written
promise of that kind without collateral
security; nnd yet you ask the toller
of this country to accept your word
ns their only guarantee." Senator
Thurston in. the Rochester Post-Express.
An interesting object-lesson may be
seen In the window of The Tribune's
business office. On a card are two sil
ver dollars. One a Mexican dollar Is
larger and finer than the other and con
tains more silver, yet Is worth only a
fraction more than El cents; while the
other a gold-backed American silver
dollar Is good the world over (or was
until the free silver movement cast
doubt upon our maintenance of the gold
standard-) for 100 cents. The Mexican
dollar la a freo coinage dollar; tho
American, a gold-standard dollar.
Which one would the American work
Ingman prefer to Tecelve In payment of
his wages?
Senator Thurston puts it in these
words: "If Rothschild were to sail Into
New York harbor with a great ship
loaded with foreign silver bullion which
had cost him ono hundred millions of
dollars, and should ask this government
to pass a law compelling our people to
accept that silver bullion in exchange
for their products and their labor at
just twice the price paid for it by Roths
child, the members of congress whp
would vote for such a measure would
be hung to the nearest lamp-post; and
ytt that is what the free and unlimited
coinage of the world's product of sil
ver means."
When the local free silver organs en
counter an argument they cannot an
swer, they at once begin to becloud
the atmosphere by calling names. A
case In point is the Times' abuse of
Edward Atkinson, who is known the
world over as one of the greatest of
living statisticians.
And now the Bryanltes charge
Bourke Cockran with getting paid to
argue for sound money. The charge
Is authoritatively denied, bat it
wouldn't make any difference if It were
true. Bryan, too, gets paid, when he
speaks; and he doesn't say much,
either.
Wo wonder why the editor of The Trib
une thinks it necessary to keep writing
on the currency question, which he has
conclusively settled so often in his four or
six lino editorial notes. Seranton Times.
For one reason, because the Times
Is a daily demonstration that there is
still much misinformation to dispel.
The Election of Bryan Would
Mean a Silver Standard
Prom the Philadelphia Times.
It is a popular error that If Mr. Bryan
were elected pcesldent it would require
legislation to faring this country to the
silver standard of value; and many be
lieve that when the Issue has to be faced
by the senate and house, no such vicious
legislation could succeed. The plain truth
Is that the election of Mr. Bryan to the
presidency would bring the silver stand
ard with his inauguration; and the fact
that the degradation nf our currency
would be Inevitable on March 4 next,
would precipitate a .national convulsion
and would put a high premium upon gold
after Mr. Bryan's election was assured.
II II II
Of all the many government bonds,
notes, etc., which are to be redeemed In
money, only $40.tB7,lW) sre redeemable in
gold. That Is the amount of gold cer
tiilcatea outstanding on the first of the
present month. All the other obligations
of the government. Including bonds, sil
ver certificates, treasury notes and United
States notes, are redeemable tn coin, and
as silver is today Invested with all the
legal recognition as coin that Is accord
ed to gold, the president and secretary of
the treasury could pay any or all of these
obligations In sliver. There are In round
numbers $344,000,000 of silver certificates,
$128,300,000 of treasury notes, and 3346.700.
000 of United States notes now Issued by
the government and In elrcjlatlon. There
are thus $811,000,000 of paper money Issued
by, the United 9tates that, is redeemable
in coin. Ia addition to the money thus
In circulation and redeemable by the gov
ernment, there are government tionds
outstanding Vu.3UI.GU0 of 4V per cent,
bonds now due and continued at 2 per
cent.; 1720,060,000 of 4 Iter cent, bonds, and
J1IM.0M,0W of & per cent, bonds. Thus we
have in round numbers gco.0vi0.uuu of gov
ernment paper rrdeemuble In coin on
demand, and fcSII.OUI.oKI of government
bonds outstanding payable In coin, all ot
which could bo placed upon the silver
standard of value by the ui'tlou of the
president and the secretary of the treas
ury In an hour. No legislation of any
kind would bo necessary to enublo a freo
silver president to precipitate a violent
change from the gold to the stiver stand
ard of value. He would simply huvu to
direct It to be done and It would be ac
complished. II II II
Mr. Bryan must bo false to his own
teachings and false to tho friends who
have nominated him, und who expect to
profit by his election. If he did not wield
hla full power as president to make silver
the standard money of the country and to
reject gold aa the standard of value. That
he would do bo no one can doubt. Ho
has been teaching the doctrine for several
years; he was instructed to do so by the
several conventions that nominated him,
and the evidence ! manifold and con
clusive that, If Inverted with the power,
he would at once sever this country from
the money standard of the civilized world,
and rank it side by side with tho semi
civilized and pagan nations of the earth.
With these facts undisputed, the mere
election of Mr. Bryan to the presidency
wduid at once Inaugurate the supremacy
of silver and the establishment of the sil
ver standard of value. Even If ho were
disposed to attempt to sustain the silver
dollar at a parity with gold, the credit of
the government would be destroyed. It
has already been greatly strained by at
tempting to keep in circulation some 440,
OTO.uoo of legal tender silver dollnra.
France and the Latin Union were com
pelled to suspend the coinage of silver, be
cause the load became too heavy tor tnem
to maintain it in circulation with gold.
Mr. Bryan would not keep silver at tho
gold standard of value If he could, and he
certainly could not If he would.
11 II "
The people of the nation mut look the
fact squarely In the face that the election
of Mr. Brynn Involves an Immediate and
revolutionary change of our financial
standard of value from the sound money
maintained by every nntion with which
we have Important commercial and finan
cial relations, to the stnndnrd of the poverty-stricken,
semi-clvlllsed nations which
are struggling with free sliver and pov
erty. Tho issue can be clearly stated as
Involving the maintenance of the sound
flnunclnl system that this government
has maintained since Its foundation, or a
departure to cheap money Inflation that
would strip tho republic of Its IntegrHy
and proclaim dishonor as a virtue In tho
daily transactions between citizens. Next
to the Issue of secession that confronted
us In 1S60, the Issue of national honor and
integrity nnd of honest money for Hll
classes and conditions of tho people, is the
mos Important ever presented to the
sovereign power of tho republic for Its
final arbitrament.
SOME OFFICIAL FIGURES.
From the Washington Post.
In his speech ot Madison Square Oar
den, Mr. llryun said that "while tho gold
standard raises the purchasing power or
the dollar, It mnkea It more dilllcult to
obtain possession of tho lollut" Jf this
were true it would not Inevitably he a good
argument against the gold dollar or a
strong plea for a cheaper dollar. The
value of the latter, measured by its pur
chasing power nnd the lnbor required to
obtain it, as compared with the former,
might make It a bad bargain, llut Mr.
Bryan's statement is not in hurmony with
accepted facts. It is his misfortune to
have collided with the census table, and
either he or they must give way.
During tho decado between ISM) and 1800
this country was, as It Is now, under the
gold stumlard. The census nhows that,
in that period, tho average yearly wages
of workers in nil kinds of factories In
creased from $324 to $IS8. Tho number tf
such employes increased in thnt time near
ly 100 per cent., rising from 2,732,51(5 to
4,7i2,t)22. The total amount of their wages
more than doubled. In 1HS0 tho wage
earners In our manufacturing Industries
received ! 17,053, 73. In 1890 they received
$2,283,216,52!!. All these dollurs were aa
good as gold, nnd their purchasing power
was stoatKly Increased by tho decreased
cost of production, due to the progress of
Invention nnd tho opening up of vast
areas of farming lands. Between 1SS0
and 1890, ami for two years thereafter,
the wane-earners got dollars, with less
difficulty, and got more for each dollar,
than at any previous time in our national
history.
11 11
Mr. Bryan on tho same occasion said
that "railroad rates have not been re
duced to keep paco with falling prices.
The farmer had thus found it more and
more difficult to live." Tho official sta
tistics, as published by tho general gov
ernment, show that In 1872 to ship a bush
el of wheat from Chicago to tho sea
board by rail cost 33 50 cents. In 181)5 it
cost 12.17 cents, lly lake and rail routes
it cost 2S cents In 1872, and 6.95 cents in
1895. By lnke and canal routes it cost
24.47 cents In 1872, and 4.11 cents In 1895.
AJJ HONEST DOLLAR-
From the Times-Herald.
There Is too cents' worth of gold In tho
gold dollar of the United States. If the
advocates of free sliver dollars wish to
give the country a free sliver dollar why
do they not propose to put Into It 100 cents'
worth of silver? Then it also would be
an honest dollar.
There are two reasons why they will
not do this. The rflst Is that they know
people would requlro handcarts and express-wagons
to carry the big things
around, end therefore, would refuse to
carry the present silver dollar in any con
siderable number at a time, on account
of Its Inconvenient weight and size.
The second reason is that If 100 cents'
worth of sliver were put Into a silver dol
lar the owners of uncoined silver would
not be accomplishing their real purpose.
That real purpose Is not to make tho sil
ver dollar still more obnoxious by Increas
ing its size, but to compel the people of
the United States to accept 63 cents
worth of silver as a dollar worth 100
cents.
The owners of uncoined silver have not
the slightest Intention of giving the coun.
try an honest dollar, and nobody knowd
this better than they themselves.
BRIGHT POINTS.
Baltimore Herald: The ' definition of
cheap money is dear prices, any way you
twist it.
Chicago Tribune: Any fool can make a
convincing argument If be doesn't feel
compelled to pay any attention to the
facts.
Iowa State Register: If the United
States has sufficient power to establish a
ratio of 16 to 1. why not equal power to
establish a ratio of 1 to 17
Iowa Capitol: The free sllverites nro
promising the farmer a dollar a bushel
for wheat, the laboring man cheaper flour.
It takes nerve to make these conflicting
promises.
Kansas City Journal: The trouble about
doubling the prices of living with free
silver, so far as the worklngman is con
cerned, is the fact that no guarantee of
doubling wages goes with it.
NEITHER FACT NOR FANCY.
From the New York Sun.'
It was once said of, Disraeli that his
politics was a romance, while he himself
was a fiction founded on fact. The epi
gram Is not an unfair definition of the pop
ocrat candidate who came out of the west
and now wishes that he had stayed there.
