The Wllkcs-narre Record la respect fully Informed that The Tribune has loyally supported every Itepubllcnn nominated In Its terrltuy since the paper was started. Sure Cure for Hard Times. No morn persistent misrepresenta tion has to he encountered in this cam paign then the claim of the Hryanltei that the available supply of gold Is Insufficient to maintain a frold standard. If this were true, we should have known It long bro. The country has been upon n frold basis In fact since 1853 and idnre 1S78 we have had gold redemption. Dur ing all the years between these dates nnd 1892 no one said that there wasn't enough gold to maintain a gold stand ard. Only when our tariff was tink ered, our national revenue cut off and the gold reserve drawn upon through lack of confidence In Democratic man agement did the gold standard give any trouble, and then its trouble was rather a tariff than a monetary one. A gold standard doesn't mean that every dollar in circulation must be a metal dollar made of gold. It means simply that whatever dollars there may be In circulation whether of paper or silver shall be kept up to the level of gold, or In other words shall be as good as gold. Ninety per cent, of the business of this country is transacted without the use of a dollar In actual cash. I!ank checks are used, or other forms of credit paper, and these are exchanged from hand to hand until in the general transaction the original debt Is eliminated by a balancing of ac counts. There must, of course, be some money back of these credits, but sta tistics show that with a per capita of about $22 of real money wo sustain on on average a per capita of $90 or more In credits. These credits would shrivel enormously if we should go on a silver basis. Those credits rest on confidence. Nothing Is clearer than that bankers and business men generally do not take stock In the silver movement. They are afraid of It. They have no confidence In It. If It should prevail, they would call In their credit accom modations as far as possible and there would be a. most serious and distressing panic. There Is more money today In exist ence In this country than there ever was before more In tho aggregate, and more to each Individual. Dut most of that money is lying Idle In bank vaults. WhyT Because business men tack con fidence. Investors won't Invest Mer chants won't buy. The silver move ment has frightened them. They don't want to put nut 100-cent dollars and Ret back dollars worth only 60 cents in purchasing power. Capital Is scared. It has gone Into hiding. It needs some assurance of stability to bring It out, and to get It moving with the old-time velocity In the various channels of trade. We can have prosperity once mors Just as We had it prior to 1892, but to do so we must restore the condi tions under which It came to us In days gone by in other words, we must for tify sound money by a re-establishment of Protection to American labor. Amer ican revenue and American industries. "It would be the height gf folly and an exhibition of the veriest kind of senile statesmanship to put this great country of ours at the foot of the list of the nations of the earth." Senator Cullom. "I do not know what you think about it, but 1 believe that it is a good deal better to open the hiill of the Vailed States to tho labor of America Ihnu to open up thn mints of tho I'nitcd States to the silver of the world." WILLIAM M'KINLEY. Ilryan wants to "eradicate Protec tion," but the chances are Protection ists will eradicate Bryan. A Tale of Two Dollars. Referring to a placard In The Tri bune window showing the comparative values of two silver dollars, one a Mexican and the other an American dollar, the Times says: The American silver dollar Is not "backed by gold." It Is primary money, money of ultimate redemption, It rests upon Its own bottom, und this government has never promised to redeem it in gold or anything else. If gold were demone tised tomorrow the silver dollar would circulate at its face value just tho same. The real reason why the American dollar maintains its value Is that it Is a full legal tender for the paymest of all ik-lit. The trade dollar contains about the same quantity of silver as the Mexican dollar. There was a time when the trade dollar was legal tender In this country and It circulated slile by side with the stand ard dollar. There was even a time when the Mexican dollar was a legal tender In this country and then It was worth as much as any of our silver or gold dollars. If either or both were legal tender they would today pass current as 100 cents. Kut they have lost that quality nnd have suffered In value In consequence thereof. This demonstrates the wonderful effect produced upon bullion by making it a legal tender. Without this quality the bullion Is so much metal. With the legal tender quality the bullion becomes coin which everybody wants. Silver nnd gold as bullion and silver nnd gold as legal tender are as different as the rough stone and the statue chiseled from It by the pculptor. When free coinage sends the value of sliver up no one will be able to buy tho Mexican dollar for less than 100 cents. If the American silver dollar Is "pri mary money, money of ultimate re demption," what becomes of th Times' claim that silver has been demonetized? All the free coinage orators complain that silver has been stricken down, that It has been "done to death" by the "crime of 1S73"; yet here is a free sil ver organ which declares the present volume of our sliver currency (which Is nearly 100 times as great as It was In 1S73) Is "primary money, money of ulti mate redemption" and full legal ten der for all debts. If that be true, then we already have bimetallism and the hullabaloo of Bryan, Bland & Co., Is a false alarm. As a matter ot fact, the Times Is wrong. Our silver money, while legal tender it is true, Is kept up to the gold value because of the policy of this gov ernment, never departed from since specie resumption In 1S7S, In redeeming every matured obligation in gold. While the holder of a sliver dollar or a silver certificate cannot at a sub-treasury de mand a gold dollar In exchange, he knows that In tho ordinary processes of business he can trade It on even terms for a bank, note or a treasury note, either of which must upon presentation (under the rulings of the treasury de partment) be redeemed in gold. Be cause our silver money Is limited In volume, everybody knows he can get gold or Its equivalent for that sliver. Kut if we should issue silver money In unlimited quantity, as Mexico does. that privilege of intercunvertibility would disappear and we should fall to a silver basis, with gold at a prem ium just as it now is In Mexico. The legal tender function did not keep the greenback at a parity with gold In war times. It did not make confederate money good. It does not make the Mexican silver dollar good for more than its bullion value. A gold dollar when melted Is worth practically 100 cents, the world over; but melt one of our present silver dollars nnd you get for it only about S3 cents, its bullion value. This proportion would still be true If we had free coinage. Our silver dollar then would pay 100 cents' worth of debt, but it would buy only G3 cents' worth of gold, and all who owe gold debts would have to pay liberally in order to get the gold with which to dis charge those debts. Free coinage by Mexico has not sent tha value of sil ver up. It has only sent the purchasing power of Mexican wages down. It has doubled the Mexican laborer's grocery bills, his clothing bills and the cost of his other necessaries. It has not doubled his wages. His wages, on the contrary, are falling. In the days when Mexican end trade dollars were as good as gold dollars In this country, the bullion value of the silver In them was worth In the mar kets of the world as much as the gold In a gold dollar. If the Mexicans would now put a dollar's worth of silver In their silver dollar it would again be worth as much as the' gold dollar. But to do that they would have to coin their dollar at the ratio of 32 to 1. Whenever the Bryanltes agree to put a dollar's worth of silver In the silver dollar, one of the "principal objections to free coinage will vanish. "The only policy for the United Plates to follow In financial matters Is that of honesty and safety." Senator Cullom. Qood Advice. The Buffalo Enquirer thinks there is one plain fact to be kept before the people In this presidential canvass. "In 1892 the Democratic party promised free trade and represented It as the great est possible boon to the farmer and the working man. It was to bring on prosperous times, renew the golden age and wipe away all tears from all eyes. What has been the result? Where Is free trade? Where are the good times? "This year the Democratic party promises free coinage of silver at 16 to 1. It Is also represented as the greatest possible boon to ' the farmer and the working man. It la to bring on pros perous times, renew the golden age, and wipe away all tears from all eyes. Are the people ready to accept this story after the disastrous deception of 1892? Are we such fools as to believe not only In the philosopher's stone and the uni versal solvent In politics, but to believe that a new cure-all can be brought for ward every four years?" The Enquirer's advice is to "set aside all such nonsense, hold the party In power responsible for Its own record, and turn it out as a failure, and be cause It has been a failure." That Is what the people propose to do. Does the Times think its readers can be Influenced by such drivel as that McKinley is the candidate ot a syndicate? Does it imagine they have ceased to remember how McKinley was forced on the Republican leaders at St. Louis by an unparalleled upris ing of the common people In his favor? Has It Itself forgotten how the bosses were bowled over one after another by the spontaneous movement of thn masses toward McKinley a movement which compelled his nomination on the Hist ballot against a field containing such strong rivals as Thomas B. Reed, Levi P. Morton, William II. Allison, Shelby M. Cullom, Cushman K. DuvU and M. S. Quay? If any candidate ever received a nomination straight from the people.Wllllam McKinley did. The claim of Bryan that he is tho accredited spokesman of the people is sheer presumption. It will be repudi ated by them next November. 'Tree coinage has not raised or even kept up the wages of the laboring men of these countries where It Is In opera tion. Why should the worklngman expect it to do something hero which it has not done anywhere else?" Senator Cullom. Henry Watterson says he would take the Indianapolis nomination If it led him to the stake. It will not lead that far, Henry, but from a sound money standpoint a third ticket will lead to a serious mistake. Bryan says his opponents don't offer nny cure for the hard times. But they do. They offer the standard prescrip tion of Protection and sound money, remedies that have repeatedly proved their worth. Bryan says he Is a Democrat; but the Democrats whose opinions In the past have constituted party doctrine deny this and repudiate him utterly. What ever Bryun is, he is egreglously mis taken. Colonel Watterson informs a Geneva Interviewer that he Is sorry to see sound money Democrats supporting McKin ley. Possibly. Would he prefer to see them supporting Bryan? The Cuban revolutionists. It Is now said, propose soon to get down to busi ness. That is their only hope. The God of liberty helps those who help themselves. Chauncey Black says Bryan will win "unions the Republicans make a lavish use' of money." There is always a string to such predictions, you will notice. The government at Washington man aged to get along before Hoke Smith joined It, and at a pinch It can probably survive his departure. It Is true that Bryan says his election would make silver worth $1.29 an ounce, but wo fear that Bryan Is prejudiced. Hill probably wants to discover from Bryan what there'll be in it for him In case Bryan should win. It looks as if the political Interment of one Thomas C. Piatt would have to be again postponed. SOUND MONEY DICTIONARY From the Times-Herald. BANK, originally a bench upon which the merchant weighed money, metals or other things. Now, any place where money is handled ns a commodity. BIMETALLISM, the theory that, if both gold and silver are coined free and In un limited quantities at a fixed ratio for private owners, the coins will circulate concurrently In a country. It has often been tried and Invariably failed. If the coinage ratio be more favorble to silver than to gold. Judged by the truo or com mercial ratio, gold will disappear. If un- Justly favorable to gold silver will disap pear. BULLION, originally bulla, a seal or stamp. Later, and now, money metal, stamped or unstamped uncoined.

WH:IH,K STANDARD, the propose that In the same country at the same time two yardsticks can he In use, one thirty, six Inches long, another eighteen Inches long, each to be called a yard. Gold Is tha yardstick thirty-six Inches long, silver a yardstick eighteen Inches long. FREE SILVER, a popular war of de scribing the privilege sought by owners of uncoined silver to take It to the mints or assay offices of the United States and get In exchange standard money at the rate of $1.29 per ounce of silver, although the real value of the metal today Is a little over 60 cets per ounce. The owns ers of the bullion will mnke the profit snd the government and the people be the losers. Bilver will be no more "free" than now, and nobody will be able to get a dollar then olhsrwlse than now, that la, by giving labor or some other com modity in exchange for it. GOLD CERTIFICATE, a receipt by the government of the United fitate for not less than S-0 worth of gold, coh.id or un coined, deposited in tha treasury and re turnable on demand In exchange for the receipt. Those receipts are not nomi nally legal tunder, but the government has mude them practically so by accept ing them for payment of duties on Im ports. Mono are issued when the gold in the treasury falls below $KH,0),0(K). llol.l) RESERVE. lluO.uoo.ow gold coin or bullion held In the treasury to main tain pecle payments and the parity of all fcegal tender American currency with gold. CREHIIAM'B LAW. When both metals are legal tender and have equul privi lege at thn mints, the cheaper will drive the dearer out of circulation. The law is as old as currency, but was not named until after formulated by Sir Thom-is Greaham 300 years ago. Aug. 11. 1W)3, in the house of representatives, William J. Bryan said: "We established a bimt-tal-lk) standard in 17M. but silver, being over valued by our ratio of IS to 1, stayed with us and gold went abroad, where mint radios were more fuvoraWe." If we should not open the mints to free and unlimited coinage of silver at 1'! to 1, ai Mr. Bryan advocates, the ratio would be still more favorable to sliver. W should lose our gold. LEGAL TISNDER. currency which a government permits a debtor to offer and compels a creditor to receive. MINT, a place where money is coined. Thei name comes from Juno Mosvptu, Juno the adviser, adjoining whose tem ple on the Capltoline hill the Roman mint was. MONEY, a thing universally recognized as having intrinsic value and used as a measure ot value of other things; also a commodity. PARITY, equality of purchasing power or debt-paying power. PECUNIARY, referring to money. RATIO, the rate at which gold meas ures the values of other metals. Today one ounce of gold measures that Is, will buy nearly thirty-two ounces of sllve-. The ratio is, therefore, I to 32. Gold Is al ways the 1. SIOIGXIORAflH, the charge for stamp ing monoy. When coinage Is free there Is no seigniorage,. SILVER CERTIFICATE, a treasury re ceipt for silver dollars actually deposited. The receipts are not nominally legal ten dor, but are practically so, being accept ed by the government for customs, taxes and other public dues, being thus kept at par with gold, the gold equivalence to be lost If we abandon the existing gold standard. They will then represent only the Intrinsic value of the pure silver In tho silver dollar and will fluctuate In pur chasing power according to the market demand for silver bullion. That is, In stead of being worth, as they are now, 100 cents to the dollar, they will be worth, 53 cents, more or less, to the dollar. SIXTKEN TO 1, the demand of owners of uncoined silver that the government give them the equivalent of an. ounce of gold for sixteen ounces of silver, although they cannot get the equivalent of an ounce of gold from any, other source for less than about 32 ounces of silver. STANDARD, that by which something Is measured. Standard of value that by which value Is measured. Gold 1 the universal money standard of value be cause it is not only held by mankind the most precious of money metals, but be cause all other kinds of money are rated according to their equivalent In it. SUBSIDIARY COIN, small pieces of money metal having only limited legal tender power. TALE, the thing told on the face of the coin Its declared value. TOKEN MONEY, coins lawfully cur rent for more than their real value. TROY WEIGHT, twelve ounces to the pound, supposed to have taken Its name from the goldsmiths of Troyes, a town of France, southeast of Paris. UNIVERSAL STANDARD OF VALUE, gold, because all other commodities in the world are measured by their relation to It. Eighty per cent, of tho world's busi ness is done on the gold standard of value. Even In silver standard countries, where gold Is not seen, prices are fixed by the gold standard, and the silver money fluctuates In value according to its rela tion to gold. HIS ONE APPEAL. From tho Philadelphia Times. It Is worthy of note that Mr. Bryan in muklng special and certainly unbecoming appenls to the farmers mechanics nnd woikingmen whom he classes ns the com mon people, speaks only In favor of ad vancing the market price of silver. He seems to be the advocate of that single In terest, that is one of tho smallest of the productive Interests of the country. He gives no promise that the farmer's wheat, corn and other products shall be doubled in value; no promise that the wages of the mechanic and laboring man shall be doubled In value; no promise that the iron, eeal and cotton, which employ mil lions of people, shall be doubled In value; In Bhort, he gives no promise of apprecia tion In price In the product of any Indus try but the silver producers of our west ern mountains. ; REPIDIATEI) AT HOME. From the Binghamton Herald. We wish Mr. Bryan well: we really have nothing against the gentleman, but he Is mistaken. He Is advocating that which would work great Injury to the country. This Is recognized In his own state as this campaign of education progresses. It Is being shown that the free silver craze In Nebraska Is dying out for the simple rea son that It rests upon no substantial foundation: it will not bear the search light of investigation. THE Hit VAN IDEA. From the T.'mcs-Herald. Admit nil the manufactures of the world free to our shores and let our labor shift for Itself. Drive out all our gold, admit the silver metal of the world free to our mints, an I make our people take inferior dollars of fluctuating value In place of our present dollars worth JnO cents each, gold, paper or silver. Free trade, M-cent fluctuating dollars. No cold. THE ANTI-BHYAX IDEA. From the Times-Herald. Collect enough revenue at the custom house to put an end to the treasury de ficiency, and keep American mills and fac tories running with American labor. Keep all our present dollars, gold, silver and paper, current nt their present fixed value of 100 cents eech. TOLD BY THE STARS. Dnily Horoscope Drawn by Ancchns Tho Tribune Astrologer.
