It begins to look as though Tom Flntt would succeed In eluding tho hr.ncis of his friends in the matter of the gubernatorial nomination. Why ? An emharrusslr.ir tiuer.tlin Is nskoil by tho Washington Post when, lifter rnll inc; attention to the "absolute certain ty" of lirynn'p i-lictlon (according to the free sliver orceins) nml the equal "certainty" thnt his election will raise the jirlee of silver, at home nnd brum, to $1.29 per ounce In gold, It goes on to Hsy; "Now, It Is not tho custom In finan cial circles In thesp latter days to wait, before action, for the full consummation of a thing that Is surely going to be. Coming events cast their shadows be fore. Speculation reaches Into future and tnolcle.i Its ehnncts. The orop re ports of every month In the year affect the market.-. Wheat, cotton, corn, beef, hog products, nnd nil other agricultural staples go up or down according to tha vnrylng prospects Indicated by such re ports. Silver Is a commodity and sub ject to the ranie conditions In the mar ket that affect v'le output of the farm. !f, therefore, silver la sure to be worth 51.28 per ounce next year. It ought to tiegijto rtae now. There Is any amount of lftonoy that can be hod for a Rood thing at 6 per cent, a year; for a sure thin;; at a lower rate. Why Is not sil ver advancing toward its destiny? Why Is it not closing the bread gap b.; tv?&n bullion uml coinage valuations? Jf it Is going to bo worth $1.29 when the assured victory la won, why is St not netting for $1 or $1.10 now? And why has silver, instead of going up toward Its golden goal, turned tail and gone rtown from f9 cents pt-r ounce to 06 cents? No educational campaign enn be needed to teueh the speculative mind that there Is profit In buying at 66 cents If one Is sure of selling a year hence at $1.29. There uro speculative minds among the silver men. Why do they hold buck? Why don't they buy liver? " Maybe the Scranton. Times can ans wer these lnquirires. George Bennett, a sentimental Illinois youth, sang "Oh, ' Promise Me" to Min nie Blough, a village beauty, and looked appeallngly Into her eyes. Minnie prom ised and now George has a $5,000 breach of promise suit on his hands for hav ing repudiated the construction she placed upon tfte song and his glances. This should be a warning to all soloists not to depart front the usual custom of keeping the eyes rolled at an angle thirty degrees heavenward during par lor recitals. Free Silver In Japan, There Is no Pennsylvania!; who does not know Rudolph Blankenburg, of Philadelphia, and have confidence In his truthfulness. Mr. Blankenourg says: "I have traveled all over the world, and have spent, much time In - countries where I never saw a gold dollar. From my observations in countries on a sil ver basis X can say that, as to the mode of living and the prosperity of tb.e peo ple, there is no comparison between them and countries on a gold basis. ("Take Japan, for instance. In that country skilled workmen get 15 cents a day, and are forced to eat less and poorer food than men In similar trades In this country. Artistic workmen who could earn $30 a week here get E0 cents a day in Japan. If this is what free silver does for the people we do not want It here. If the workmen suffer business is bound to feel it. The 'two are indissolubly bound together. When in Japan I bought a book which was valued at 1 yen, which is the Japanese silver dollar, and contains more silver than our own. I asked the book dealer If he would take American money. He said he would, and in return for an American silver dollar he gave me the book and a Japanese yen. Thus I had the book and more silver than I gave, because Japan was on a silver basis, and, though its yen was marked as a dollar, the purchasing power had been reduced one-half. "Business men and workmen are afraid that the low price of labor in Japan will seriously interfere with American manufactures. Japan will be able to drive us out of our own market If Bryan is elected, as he is a strong free trader. Business men want an honest dollar to do business with. They do not want to see a Canadian come into this country with his dollar guar anteed by the gold standard of England, purchase a dollar's worth of goods and got an American dollar in change for his dollar." They will never see this, for the simple reason that Bryan will not win, neither will this country ever permit Its dol lars to become cheaper than the dol lars of any other nation. The best dol lar on earth Is none too good for the American people. It Is amusing to notice how our Democratic contemporaries strive to keep the attention of the voter away from the tariff Issue by voluminous arguments In favor of a shoddy cur rency. The voter who thinks, how ever, will not forget that It wns dur ing the days of the iMcKinlcy bill that the wheels of Industry were humming and prosperity smiled upon the land. No matter how plentiful money may be in the hnnds of the wealthy, It will not help the laboring man who has no opportunity to earn it. "I do not know w hnt you think about it, but I believe that it is n good deal better to open the mills of the United States to the labor or America than to cpen up the mints of the I'nitcd States to the silver of the world." WILLIAM .M'KIXLKV. "Whnt the country wants Is a cam paign of common sense rather than lunacy. You need no Tillinans, Alt golds or Wultes to bring on a reign of prosperity nnd happiness to the peo ple." Senator Cullom. The Coins and the Low. Tho following convincing statement of the coinage laws of the Unite;l States has been prepared for the Roch ester Post-ExprC3s by the Hon. Charles Daniels, member of congress from tho Thirty-third New York district: "The great complaint of the advo cates of the free coinage of silver has at all times had its source in the' en actment of the law of February 12, 1873. By that act the coinage unit was changed from the sliver to the gold dollar, and the legal tender quality of the sllve:' dollar was reduced to no more than $5 In any one payment. The law of 1792 had made the silver dollar the unit. It iwns then well fit ted for that end because of its pre vious uniform value, and the coinage of no other dollar had the sanction of the law. 1'p to that time silver had maintained Itself as a stable measuri! of value, and therefore eminently adapted to all puaposes as currency. And as tho gold dollar was not to be coined no other course was opon than to declare the silver dollar the unit of value. And this function was weil maintained by it until it began to give evidence cf tho loss of its pre ceding stability. The law making It the unit of value endowed it. with no permanent right to that office but it was subjected to the vicissitudes of the future, as they might bo produced by subsequent events. "The paramount object of the law of 1792, iwas the creation of a uniform and well maintained system of coinage fairly corresponding with the commer cial value of the metals used. That was expressed by Jefferson as the only true theory. And there is no renson for believing that any of his great contemporaries entertained any different conviction. The end to bj attained was to create a currency which would Inspire the confidence i.f the people, which the preceding Is sues of paper had wholly lost, and also meet the requirements of foreign trade. The constitution which had then been so recently adopted Justified the correctness of the conviction. For while it had vested in congress the power to coin money, that power was expressly qualified with the obligation to regulate Its value. The regulation was not so delegated as to be in anv sense arbitrary but like all other pow ers enumerated It was intended to be reasonably exercised in the adjustment of values. And that could not be done otherwise than by conforming tho value of the coin to the standard of trade and business. "The United States had taken their position as a commercial nation en titled to participate In the .commerco of the world. And It cannot be sup posed that any power to compromise that position was Intended to bo given to congress. But what .was designed to te done by the regulation of the value of the national coinage was to conform It to the real as well as ac credited valuation of tho material to be used. This Is also the power given over the foreign coins. It was to reg ulate their value not to give them values they did not In fact possess, li there could bo a departure from real values In regulating domestic coinu that could also be followed in regu lating the valued of foreign coins, and a fictitious valuation be given to all the money of the country. "No more Intolerable obstacle could be placed In the way of commercial re lations with other countries which it was one of the objects of the consti tution to promote and advance. And that was not overlooked, ror this early action cf congress was calculated to adjust the coinage to the standards ot the commercial world. Jt was not done to subordinate tho people of tho United Statis to other nationalltles.bui to give them all the advantages of trade and commerce between them selves and foreign nations. "And so this unit of the coinage re mained with slight variations until 1S73. It was then changed to gold, not because of any unfriendly attitude to the sliver dollar but because that dol lar began to give evidence of future Instability and that had impressed it self on the other commercial nations: and a coin of mora lixed ability was deemed to be required to furnish a durable standard of money valu?. The other commercial nations were declar ing that gold alone cwas that coin and by the act of 1S73 the gold dollar was given the position that the silver dol lar had previously maintained In the currency of the United States. And that was really the most that was done for this colnuge by the law ot 1873. It has been accused of demon etizing silver but ' no accusation has ever been more unfounded. It did not demonetize silver but provided for Its future free and unlimited coinage on a better ratio of value, making it 420 to one, Instead of 41214 to one as It pre viously had been. And this coinage remained unchanged until the act of July 22, 1870, deprived this s'lver dollar of Us legal tender quality, which had extended to the sum of $3 In any one payment. But this was no serious change so far ns private transactions were concerned, Inasmuch as the Unit do States' paper currency was then conveniently fulfilling all the legal ten der requirements, "During the Interval between 1S73 and 187C more silver dollars and other silver currency iwere issued than dur ing any other equal preceding period of time since the formation of the Fed eral government. Instead, therefore, of being an act to demonetize silver, the net of 1S73 greatly continued and increased Its free coinage. And so far as these silver dollars remained in this country, they afterwards were coined Into standard dollars under the au thority of a law of 1SS7. And the standard dollar has been coined down to the present time on the old ratio, although It has forfeited the right to that coinage on every sound piinciple of monetary safety. No fair giound of complaint can therefore exist against the silver colnnge laws, unless it be that they are now too generous to a metnl which has so far fallen below the standard that safa coinage re quires to be maintained. They sure ly should be changed,' allowing a liber al and Increased coinage ot fractional sliver on a sound ratio which is now convertible Into United States treasury notes. And that is permitted by the Republican platform, which goes no farther than to deny the right of the free coinage of the sliver dollar on the ratio of sixteen to one." A somewhat startling statement is made In a well-known musical paper to the effect that the "Gospel Hymns" singing book is directly responsible for the Armenian massacres. It is said that the hymns in this book were trans lated into the Armenian tongue and used In church worship by the converts of the American missionaries and were very popular. The attention of Turkish officluls was called to the titles of many of the songs such ns "Onward Christian Soldiers," and other warlike themes. The matter was laid before the sultan, who became convinced that the mis sionaries were planning an uprising and that the church hymns were battle Esr.rrs. It was then that the resolution to exterminate the Armenian race was formed. This plausible explanation of tho most shocking butchery In the his tory of tho world may perhaps be taken with a grain of allowance, but If true It must furnish food for reflection on the part of those who are zealous to convert the heathen In foreign lands while the heathen at home continue to walk in darkness. Lackawanna county evidently had no desire to get In on the ground floor In the organization of the "Jefferson lau parly" yesterday. WHY SILVER HAS FALLEN. From the Philadelphia Record. One of the most eminent Instructors In economies at Harvard university Is Pro fessor V. YV. Taussig. Ho Is an author ity on topics related to finance. In ft letter over his signature In a recent is sue of the HoHton Transcript ho gives some facts and figures which deserve the attentive consideration of those who 'arc interested In the, great monetary question of the day. Professor Taussig writes: "The decline In 'the price of silver was started by several causes. The decline became marked in 1870, and was then due to " (a) A diminution for the time being of the demand for silver from British India. " (b) Cessation, of free coinage of silver In tho Latin Union, and In other countries. " (c) Bales of silver by tho German gov ernment, " (rt) Homo Increase In production, with rumors of more to come, "But much more significant than tho why and how of tin start In the decline of silver Is the question why silver not only began to fall, but kept on falling. And here we must face the fact of a great and rapid Increase In produotion. Briefly to repeat familiar figures., the world's production of silver In round num. bers was: Ounces. 1873 ; 6U,0UO.OX 1870 ttt.WiU.'W 1S81 '. ' 71I,00C,00J 1R0 W.OOO.IKM 1891 lJ7,0W,0lX 1892 lo3,OW,m0 18it3 ltW,W.Ui 1894 ItiS.OHO.t'UO 18V5 (estimated) 175,tKW,iWJ "The great and striking fall to the price of silver bullion took place not Immediate ly after the demonetization of 1873. but by a process which went on steadily and at nn accelerating rate from 1874 to the pres ent time. Tho United States purchases under the Bland-Allison act of 1878 and the sliver purchase net of 1890, heavy though they were, did not check the fall. It was unquestionably due In the main to the extraordinary Increase In production which went on even In face of declining prices. It was this Increase which mainly brought the market ratio between silver and gold down to 31 to 1, nnd made the s!l ner dollar worth Intrinsically only C2 cents In gold: and it Is this which makes silver now unlit for use ns the basis of tho monetary system of the United States." II II II When It Is taken Into consideration that gold production since lS":i linn also been largely increased the fall In silver has still further explanation. There never be fore was a time since men began to search the earth for the money metals when the search was so abundantly rewarded, nor when production has been so cheapened by newly discovered processes. Had there been a trebling of the production of wheat, or of Iron, or of copper, or of nny other product of our fields or our mines, unac companied by nn Increased demand, ther would have been a full or price similar to that which has accompanied the Increased outturn of silver. The fact Is that urlces Are regulated by supply nnd demand, an not by speculators or lawmakers. LOOKING FORWARD. From tho Times-Herald. So long as we remain on the existing gold standard the government of thu United States Is able, with Its credit, to complement the real value of the sliver dollar so as to maintain it at par with gold, or 100 cents to the dollar. If we abandon the gold standard silver will necessarily tako care of Itself. It takes care of Itself on the fluctuating basis of its ratio to gold. II II II It Is maintained by the advocates of tho free and unlimited coinage of silver that the ratio will grow more favorable. There Is nothing in the history of silver to warrant this presumption, but, assum ing that It have foundation, there still can be no denial that the value of a dollar will fluctuate with the ratio. In order, then, to get tho most favorable view pos sible of what our silver dollars would be worth should we go to the silver basis, it Is well to look at the real value of tho silver dollar for a quarter century. ltatio Value sliver sliver Year. to gold, dollar. 1874 1C17 .m J873 Ki.39 .Ml 187C, 17.88 .Siq 1877 17.22 .93 1878 17.94 .Ml 1879 18.10 .8'iS 1550 18.03 ,t8ii 1551 18.10 .881 1S82 18.19 .878 1883 lS.iil .838 18S4 1S.37 Mi lSS.r, 19.41 X'3 ISJ'l 20.78 .709 1SS7 21.13 .738 1888 21.99 .727 1SS9 22.09 .721 1590 19.70 .810 1,91 20.92 .701 1S2 2.1.72 .071 1S93 20.19 .r i 1591 S2.3B .Wl 1S93 31.50 ,M7 I II II II It may be that in twenty-live years nttr we go on the silver basis silver In a silver dollar will be worth 100 cents. This Is a very extravagant conceit, but, grunting It for tho sake of argument, what a fine time the business of the country will havo meanwhile finding out every day from London what Its silver dollars are worth. But suppose, also for the sake of argu ment, that tho ratio will not grow more favorable, that It shall persist in Its tend ency to grow less favorable. In what a condition we shall be, having agreed to accept for free coinage not only, all our own silver but also that of all the rest of the world! THIS IS THK SITUATION. From the Buffalo News. We have greenbacks which are intrinsic ally worth nothing, but which In their monetary functions are ns good as gold because the promise and resources of tho government are behind them. But the bo nanza kings, aided by Mr. Bryan, are do ing all they can to discredit the govern ment and make these greenbacks worth less. We have silver dollars which are In trinsically worth 33 cents each, but which In their monetary functions are as good ns gold, because of the declared purpose of the 'government to maintain them at pari The bonanza kings, aided by Mr. Bryan, are doing all they eon to do away with these silver dollars, and give the peo. pie a dollar from which the credit of the government Is entirely removed and which will have a reduced purchasing power of only 33 cents. In other words tho silver dollar which Mr. Bryan would give the people could only purchase about one half of what can be purchased by the dol lar now In use. THK DKAl'O.VS .MOTOR.
