McKinley's Letter.
Major McKinlcy's letter of ncccpi
nnce, which l.i published In The Tri
bune today, will ko down to history
ns an unanswerable nrpumont against
the evils that threaten the country In
this season of unrept. As Mr. Mo
Klnloy states in tho openitiK para
graphs, In view of remarks: that have
lioen made to vltdtlns delegations, it
may seem unnecessary to Rive further
consideration to the Issues bearing up
on our future prosperity. Hut the.
manly nnd patriotic utterances of tho
champion of Protection at this time
rvill no doubt be regarded with interest
by oil who have the nation's welfare
nt heart. As compared with the soph
istry of the false prophets who seek to
steal the hearts of the people by dema
gogical appealp to prejudice and class
hatred, thu honest and straightforward
words of the Republican standard
bearer stand out llko letters of fire,
and the document will prove a bul
wark before the onslaughts of the
horde of theoiists who seek tho-destruction
of our financial system.
The Intelligent reader cannot fall to
be impressed by the lucid manner In
which the writer points out the real
cause of the financial Ills that have
created dissatisfaction In thu agricul
tural districts nnd aroused a spirit of
anarchy among tho unenlightened la
boring (lasses. While no attempt is
made at flowery rhetoric there Is a
ring of genuineness In the statements
made that forms a pleasing contra Jt
to the recent Inflamatory utterancej
that have at times been masked be
hind dramatic oratory or scattered
through so-called appeals in the Inter
est of the down-trodden. In pointing
out the way to peace nnd prosperity
William McKinley has the advantage
of his opponents in this great politi
cal battle. His statements are based
upon fact. History proves that his
remedy for tho evils that now cxlrt
la the one that will effect a speedy cure.
The thinking man will have no fear
of future disasters to the ship of stale
with 'William McKinley at the helm.
The election of A. J. Coiborn, Jr., of
Bcranton, . to the state presidency of
the Patriotic Order Sons of America,
by the convention at Altoono. yester
day, was a graceful tribute to worth
and ability. It Is no disparagement
i to other aspirants to the position cf
honor to assert that the order probably
does not contain a member so admir
ably fitted for the position of state
president as the brilliant and gifted
Bcrantonian.
"This country, "says the Philadelphia
Tltves, "has coined more silver In the
last eighteen years than any other
country In the world, an J It has used Jt
quite as freely In Us money system.
It Is today an Integral part of our
money, and would continue to be sq If
agitators, demagogues and speculators
wrs content to allow the government
LABEL
to maintain honest money for all class
es and conditions by making every dol
lar equal to the best dollar . of the
world." They are the real enemies of
a stable currency, yet they profess to
be for that kind of a currency. Can
the people be fooled?
Efficacy of Cruisers.
On the recent preliminary run made
by the Cruiser Brooklyn, the new ves
sel made 20.87 knots an hour and dem
onstrated that she would bo able to
claim the title of queen of the United
States r.avy.
It may be a matter of speculation on
part of many to know why so much
stress Is laid upon' the speed of the new
ships, the notion being that ns their
business Is to fight, speed is a com
paratively small matter. Hut these
cruisers are primarily commerce de
stroyers: they are Intended to run down
merchant vessels and capture the sup
plies of the enemy. The faster they
are, therefore, the better, not only that
they may overtake swift merchant
ships, but be able to escape fighting
ships sent after them. There were
tremendous fighting ships assembled at
the opening of the ltultlc canal, but
they did not attract a tithe of the at
tention which one of our swift com
merce destroyers did. Her evolutions
thrilled spectators with the thought of
the Immeasurable damage she could do
to the commerce of a foe right under
his very eyes, nnd escape before he
could scud a heavy fighting ship with
in range of her.
Tho new navy Is costing adeal of
money, but there Is a return for It be
sides that which conies In the Increased
senso of natlonnl safety which comes
In the shape of inspiration to triumphs
In all forms of industry allied to that
of shipbuilding. The expenditures In
experiments in the manufacture of steel
for these vessels have resulted In de
velopments of knowledge of Immense
value to the arts of peace.
The eye of tho American working
man is evidently focussed upon the
Mexican dollar. The effect produced
by the panorama presented will bn
noticed at the counting of votes in
November.
"I do not know what you think
about it, but I believe that it is il
good deal better to open the
mill-, otitic t nil t il States to tho
labor of America than to open up
the mints of the Tinted States
to the silver of f ho world."
WILLIAM .11 'li IN LEY.

"It Is unquestionably in the Interest
of the whole people thnt the money wo
earn should be as good as the best
In the world." Senator Cullom.
A Silver Object Lesson.
In noting the case of the Chicago
merchant who has procured a kegfull
of Mexican dollars and offered to ex
change one of them nnd 50 cents' worth
of goods for an American ffold-backed
silver dollar, the Toronto Olobo ob
serves thnt the Mexican dollar thus
freely offered for half an American dol
lar Is both heavier and of finer quality
than the American." The average Mex
ican dollar," it says, "weighs .SGC1 of
nn ounce of metal, 001-1000 fine. The
American silver dollar, which is pro
portionately heavier than the fractional
silver, "weighs only .8594 of an ounce,
and . Is only 9-10 line. Yet for one-of
these dollnrs the Chicago merchant Is
giving the heavier and finer Mexican
silver piece and 50 cents worth of goods.
Of course he can nfford to do so and
make a profit on the sale, as the Amer
ican dollar is exchangeable for 23Vi
grains of gold at the United States
treasury, and consequently In every
other commercial institution of that and
other countries. Reluctance to accept
it Is due to uncertainty regarding tile
icrmaiience of the policy of redeeming
the sliver. Rut no treasury, bank or
other Institution Is hound to redeem tho
Mexican dollar with 2:1U grains of gold,
nor with nny other equally valuable
quantity of metal.
'The laws of that republic may de
clare that it shall bo accepted for one
dollar, but do not maintain that the
dollar for which It Is interchangeable
shall contain a stipulated quantity of
gold.'. The laws which hold that the
coin be accepted as a dollar declare also
that it is a dollar, and that definition
of a dollar makes the law virtually de
clare that the coin be accepted for
Itself. It has no artificial value such as
would be given by the willingness of
the Mexican treasury to redeem It with
moro valuable coins. It is merely a
piece of metal like tho gold coins of
Ilrltain and the United States, and the
stamp of the mint guarantees its weight
nnd fineness. Its value has shown no
variation from that of other silver bul
lion. Early in 1892 it wns worth 75
cents, but foil to 66.9 cents before the
close of the year. In 1S93 It varied from
66.6 cents on Jan, 1 to 57.1 cents on Oct.
1. On Jan. 1, 1894, it was worth 56
cents, but fell to 60.5 cents on April 1
and to 49.7 cents on July 1. During 1S93
It followed the fluctuations of the metal
market, being worth 49.5 cents on Jan.
1 and 47.9 cents on April 1, rising to 52.8
cents during the latter half of the your.
'.'The fluctuations are a proof that a
government flat or mint stamp can give
no value to a piece of metal, that the
fictitious value of the American silver
dollar is due not to stamp or flat but
to the ability and willingness of the
treasury to give a more valuable piece
of metal for It on demand. The object
lesson of the keg of big silver dollars,
each to be given In lieu of CO cents
change, cannot fail to have an educa
tional effect. The customer who ac
cepts a Mexican dollar in change in
preference to an American half-dollar
finds. that he has merely double the
weight of metal to carry, but no com
pensating advantage. Tha enactment
of a free coinage law in the United
States would have no effect on the
purchasing power or value of the Mex
ican dollar In Chicago or anywhere
else, but It would reduce the purchas
ing power of the American dollar and
other sliver coins one-half. That would
bring the two big coins almost to an
equality, the Mexican being a little the
more valuable. Mr. Bryan holds that
a free coinage law would make an ap
preciable demand for silver, and. In
consequence, an appreciable increase
in Its purchasing power. But, with all
deference to the boy orator, It la evi
dent that the currency could settle to
a silver basis without a noticeable de
mand for the white metal. The gov
ernment would scarcely attempt to
maintain tho parity by the payment
of gold, and there would be no Induce
ment to present silver for coinage, ns,
like gold at present. It would be as
valuable In bars or In bricks as In coin.
Tho credit of men or corporations rich
in silver, gold, Iron, tin, leather, petro
leum, wool, cotton or real estate could
serve as currency to effect the exchange
cf commodities then as now. All cred
itors would lose and all debtors would
gain, and the working classes and
others whose remuneration Is kept down
by what may be called sentiment would
find it impossible to Increase their re
turns In proportion to tho decrease in
the buying power of money. Their dif
ficult lea would be Increased by the col
lapse of many commercial ami Indus
trial firms and the consequent additions
to the unemployed."
This is disinterested testimony based
on plain common sense. It ought to
have tenfold more weight with rational
voters than tho excited yawping of
chronic olllce-seekers.
The Times Is all right on tho cur
rency question but can t a teiiow
change his mind once In a while?
The Only Bimetallism.
We Invite attention to the following
(ruths from the Chicago Times-Herald:
"No silver standard country has any
gold In Its currency. Kvery gold stand
aid country has silver In Its currency.
There Is no such thing as a concurrent
circulation of the two metals on equal
terms at the mints.
"Where silver Is the standard gold
will not run. Where gold Is the stand
ard silver runs co-ordinately in limited
coinage only. Mexico, a silver standard
country, has no gold. Japan, a sliver
standard country, with 40,000,000 people,
has no gold. India, with Its 290,000,000
of people, .has no gold. China, with its
300,000,000 of people, has no gold. On
the other hand, Germany, with 51,000,
000 of people, carries full legal tender
silver to the amount of $103,000,000. Bel
glum, with Its 6,000,000 of people, has
full legal tender silver to the amount of
$-!S,000,000. Switzerland, with 3,000,000
of people and $11,000,000 In gold, has le
gal tender sliver to the amount of $10,
000,000. France has full legal tender
silver exceeding $130,000,000. The United
States, with 70,000,000 of people, has
more than $500,000,000 full legal" tender
silver.
"No country on the gold standard
opens Its mints to the unlimited coin
age of silver. That Is the reason sliver
Is current In these countries as full le
gal tender with gold. Will the Ameri
can people retain their sliver at its pres
ent valuation of 100 cents to the dol
lar, or, abandoning the only practicable
system of bimetallism, will they sacri
fice all their gold and go down to tho
level of China, India, Japan and
Mexico?" t
An honest dollar means progress.
Cheap money meaty retrogression.
History tenches this. Common sense
confirms It. Where will the American
electorate decide to stand In the prem
ises? One of Mr. Bryan's own western
neighbors the St. Joseph Herald
stumps him completely when It says:
"Mr. Bryan keeps on talking about the
cornering of gold,' when he knows
thnt tho supply of gold was never so
great as It Is now, and that the output
every year is materially Increasing. All
of the gold standard nations of the
world now hold Immense quantities of
thnt metal and there is much of It in
the hands of private Individuals or gov
ernment vaults. How can gold be ap
preciating in value when it Is a fact
beyond dispute that Jewelry and every
thing that is madeoutof goldare cheap
er today than was ever known before?
Everybody can carry a gold watch
now and Indulge in other gold adorn
ments because they are so very cheap."
These are facts that Bryanites don't
want to see.
Perclval Lowell, of the Flagstaff,
Arizona, observatory, has observed
snow-caps on Mars once more. This
time tho professor Is certain that the
discovery Is genuine and not the result
of blurred effects. His theory of a great
Martian snow-melting nnd Interpolar
Irrigation by meansof thefamouscanuls
Is another question, which will require
many years, at the very least, for ade
quate Solution. In fact it will probably
be necessary for our grandchildren to
take the professor's word on all ques
tions concerning the weather on Mars.
"What good will free coinage do
when thousands of employes are Idle
and when our imports are increasing,
and when cheap labor is permitted to
compete with tho laboring men in our
own land, and when our laborers are,
In consequence, either working at star
vation prices or else are not working at
oil? No wonder our opponents don't
want to hear the Issue of protection to
American industries discussed." Sen
ator Cullom.
The Wllkes-Barre Newsdealer inti
mates that the nomination of Chairman
Garman for congress .has placed red
sealing wax upon the political doom of
Morgan-B. Williams. The voters of Lu
cerne, however, will probably hare no
difficulty in breaking the seal at the
proper time.
Why are the New York banks doing

For tho same reason that business
men all over the country uso checks
in their business transactions instead
of carting cash about. It's more con
venient. "The Republican party, with Its plat
form offering equal Justice to all.makes
no new tender which Is Impossible of
performance. It does not descend to
the domain of hypocrisy, but it bears
the banner of honest money, the Hag
of sound finance." Senator Cullom.
Miss Overman, the Washington wo
man who confessed that she had made
false charges against Pastor Brown,
now confesses that her confession was
false and that the charges were true.
Miss Oveiman seems In a fair way to

The plain people continue to flock to
Canton to see McKinley In spite of the
appeals made by mouth pieces of Popu
listie Democracy. The memory of the
days of prosperity under the McKinley
tui'lft bill cannot be blotted out by wind.
"The story that we have not money
enough in the country to do the busi
ness Is a ridiculous fallacy. If you
have anything which will bring money
you may be assured that the money
will always be ready for It." Senator
Cullom. .
The new secretary of the interior, ex
Governor Francis, will probably be con
tent with drawing his salary. With tho
frightful example of Hoke Smith before
him Secretary Francis will, if a man of
good Judgment, avoid reforms.
"Let the people who believe in sound
money, in the Integrity of contracts, and
In the honor and future prosperity of
the nation, without regard to past par
ty relatlons.stand together In this cam
paign." Senator Cullom.
LI Hung Chang's visit to this coun
try will be a failure unless some gen
tleman from Luzerne is delegated to
Inform him that the "resources of
Wllkes-Barre are practically untouch
ed." Until explained away by the Scran
ton Times, Hon. Thomas B. Reed's
speech at Old Orchard may stand as a
model of masterly logic.
But few sllverltes can be found
among the people who lived during the
greenback period.
And now Governor Altgeld has
troubles of his own!
THE HEAL IU.llETALLIS.il.
Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette.
In spite of tho injury to the cause of
bimetallism which has been caused by tho
advocacy of free coinage by this country
alone, the genuine blmetalllsts are by no
means discouraged, but are working Just
the same In tho promotion of the cause
as if the handicap of distrust had not been
attached to them which the free coinage
and silver standard advocates have creat
ed In tho name of bimetallism. Some
of the most distinguished blmetalllsts In
the old world have been quoted heretofore
as stoutly opposing the free coinage of
sliver at this time hy the United States
as a calamitous proceeding not only for
this country, but to the cause of Interna
tional bimetallism. The sound views of
these advocate of the cause at home and
abroad, whose earnestness Is not ques
tioned, must have n salutary effect upon
those who really favor bimetallism but
who foolishly have been led to believe
that the present movement Is In the di
rection of bimetallism, whereas it means
Inevitably,, under the conditions proposed,
a descent to the silver standard. The way
to Increase the value of sliver Is to stimu
late the use of It In all countries, both for
money nnd other purposes, anil thus
bringing It nearer tho actual value of
gold.
No single country In tho world can do
this for the whole world any more than It
can regulate the relative value or all the
crops In the world. The most that the
single country can do Is to do Its share.
The United States already has done this
with reference to sliver to the limit of
putting 40 cents of lint or national credit
Into every sliver dollar and making good
that difference between lis commercial
and coinage value. To this top heavy load
the free coinage advocates would make
the experiment of adding nil the surplus
silver of the world and a ratio with gold
twice that of its commercial value, making
a load not only Impossible to carry but.
crushing the value out of every dollar now
in use. except the gold or gold certificate,
and forcing the country to the silver
standard. The genuine bimetallism on the
other hand, would maintain the present
value of every dollar, both silver nnd oth
erwisc, nnd through International agree
ment, and combined private enterprise, so
stimulate the use of silver as money In
other countries, In place of chenper money
ns to bring the relative coinage values of
gold nnd silver, as compared wlt'n their
commercial values, near enough together
to provide for practical bimetallism. No
ono nation can bring this about any more
than it can regulate the tides, and the
sound sense of the American peonle will
render a verdict to that effect In Novem
ber. ThPn the workers in -the cause of
genuine bimetallism will go on with their
work with renewed courage, nnd with
the handicaps thrown oft with which the
free collage advocates have weighted
them.
