We Spike the Falsehood.
The Sunday World thinks it was a trifle
mean for the Times to insinuate that The
Tribune's .Mexican dollar Is a counterfeit.
Well, the Tribune hasn't made any denial
of the statement up to date. Another point
brought out by the Klmlra Telegram is
that Manager V. W. Davis paid id cents
for that Mexican dnllnr and brought it to
S. ranioii to Impose upon the people the
Ilea that It is a "0-cent dollar. Doesn't
that smack slightly of false pretenses?
Seranton Times.
The roin In the window of Tho Trib
une, business office that has caused our
contemporaries so much anxiety by Its
odious comparison with a good Ameri
can cart wheel, is a frenuine Mexican
rlollur. I? cost 53 cents in Iev York
city, where unlimited quantities may
Ktill be bad nl the samo rates. The
Tribune has not heretofore deemed It
necessary to reply to the feverish
Ftiuawk of the Times In reference to
the object lesson that liasi attracted po
much attention, as the insinuations
that the Mexican dollar is a counter
feit are too absurd to deserve notice.
In order, however, to satisfy the un
easy Eryanltes, who evidently have
chips on their Fhoulders, the state
ment is here made) with deliberate fore
tliouRht that the Times, Telegram or
nny other Bryan-free-silver-popullstlc
prospectus, that insinuates that our
Mexican dollar is spurious, malicious
ly and knowingly diasemminates un
truth! v
Today marks the opening of the fall
season and from present appearances
trade will be much more lively this
year than last. The flurry over a pos
sible overturning of our system of
finance through the triumph of free
silver doctrines has passed over and
the merchant will probably have no
more cause for .worry on account of
threatened evils in this direction. In
many industries the business In pros
pect warrants the addition of extra
force and the future looks bright for
the wage-earner and merchant all
along the line.
Mexican Prosperity
The extracts from Mr. Archibald
Butt's circular which appear on an
other page of The Tribune today ought
to effectually silence one of the loud
est of silver guns of the present cam
paign. The alleged prosperity of Mex
ico under free coinage has been ona
of the most rosy arguments that haw?
been advanced by the promoters of
the cause of debased currency. So
much ado has been made over the in
crease in business In Mexico follow
ing the adoption of free coinage that
the average reader would expect to
find day laborers in that country re
velling in . the comforts of . life with
plenty of silver cash to spore.
Mr. Butt shows conclusively that tht
real state of affairs in exactly the op
posite. While experiencing all of tho
ill effects of silver monometallism th:
Mexican laborer enjoys none of tho
alleged benefit, and his condition Is
little better than that of the African
slave before the war. It is true that
business has increased in Mexico with
in the past few years under a silver
basis .but no one has been benefited
by the Increase save the manufacturer,
who takes advantage of the snap that
Is offered him in the way of cheap
labor that may be paid for in fifty cent
dollars.
How does this picture suit the la
boring man who is asked to vote fur
free coinage In order to make wages
high?
"I do not know what you think
about it, but I believe that it is n
good deal better to open the
mills of the United State to the
labor of Americu than to open up
the mints ol' the I'nited States
to the silver of the world."
WILLIAM M'KINLEY.
Study of Mars.
In the September "Harper" Charles
Dudley Warner furnishes a good deal
of information concerning the red
planet in which there has always been
bo much Interest. Mars has been quite
thoroughly explored, and has come to
be, through the lens of the telescope, a
near neighbor to the earth. At certain
seasons he is only about 35,000.000 miles
away from us. It has been proved that
Mais has an atmosphere probably about
half the density of the air of the earth
at the height of the Himalayas, but it
has nothing of what we call "weath
er;" It Is a serene world. There can
be little or nothing of a rainfall, and
dew and frost must be the common
precipitation. So far as appears, tho
only water of the planet comes from
the annual melting of the polar snows,
and It lives wholly by Irrigation. The
discovery which confirms this view,
which was startling, as Indicating the
work of intelligent beings, was that
made years ago of the canals, which
cover the land, and intersect each other
at various points, one of the artificial
waterways being 3,500 miles long. Lat
er investigations seem to demonstrate
that the canals, which hnve an average
breadth of about thirty miles, are real
ly strips of verdure through which run
slender streams of water that cannot
be seen, but these strips, visible when
the snow melts, change color, from
darker, and Anally fade into Invisibil
ity, following the process of green,
ripening and decaying vegetation.
If Mars has sentient inhabitants.
they must be different In form and con
struction from the lords of our crea
tion. It Is suggested that they may be
larger in size than earth men, because
the force of gravity at the surface of
Mars is 38-100 that of the earth, and a
man weighing 150 pounds here would
weigh only 58 pounds there, but Mr.
Warner inclines to the opinion that the
Martian, if he exists, is not a gigantic
form, ' but a delicate and petite and
highly organized creature, who may
have, Instead of five senses, a dozen,
and among them common sense. Tho
conception that Mars Is Inhabited leads
the genial author Into various fields of
speculation and they may be as varied
as the most exuberant Imagination can
project, but the serious contemplation
must occur to all Intelligent persons
that it were amazing, indeed, If spirit
ualized beings did not have residence
upon Mars, and, indeed, upon other
members of the solar system, and upon
tho stars ns well, which are set in the
Infinity of space. They may not, In
deed, correspond in outward semblance
to men, and may be under tho govern
ment of physical laws very different
from those which obtain on this planet,
hut it were a narrow Idea of the uni
verse and of its Creator that would
limit Intelligence ti this little spot in
that universe. Indeed, man may bo
nmohg the lowest orders of Bcntient
life. Perhaps, also, there are worlds
that, with mechanical devices of which
our science ha3 not even dreamed, may
witness nil that Is here going on, and
look at man and his works with the
generous charity born of superior
knowledge. As we are coming nearer
to Mars, through the revelations that
our science !s making, 13 It not possible
that the star-gazers from Martian ob
servatories, through tho glasses they
have perfected, may long have been
cognizant ot the structure of our globe,
and of the events that have happened
upon it? All these thoughts ane. In
deed, conjectural, but they nre quick
ened by the exploits of science. It
were a narrow faith, indeed, which
limited the Maker of the universe to
the creation of a single race upon a
mere speck in the Immensity which He
controls.
It seems bad enough to steal the
body of A. T. Stewart and waste his
millions. But now the plate news
papers are beginning to publish alleg
ed portraits of the merchant prince.
Joys of September.
A season of great enjoyment to the
denizens of this part of the world
opens today.
In addition to the probability of a
continuation of the delightful weath
er now prevailing there is to come the
joyful day when the mystic letter "It"
enters into the gastronomic alphabet
and gives a formal and legal Intro
duction to that most delicious of
bivalves, the oyster, cousin to that
less exclusive mollusk, the clam. The
table unquestionably receives material
additions by this lifting of the em
bargo upon some of the choicest mor
sels that ever tickled the palate of a
gourmet, and there is no marvel In
the gladness with which the week of
promise is awaited. The beginning ol
the season ot golden harvest should
be one of enjoyment to all upon whom
Providence has smiled with the com
forts of life.
To the young folks, however, this
period marks the beginning of the
end of vacation pleasures and they
are now trooping back from the. moun
tain, the sea shore and the farm,
eager, it is hoped, to begin anew the
task of acquiring the knowledge neces
sary to lead them Into future useful
ness. With ev.ery'thing bonsldered
September is a month to be heartily
welcomed, especially in this region,
where even the heat, occasionally
endured early In the month, is temp
ered at night by cooling airs, and
where the landscape sometimes be
gins to put on Its gay fall costume
in honor of the season.
History of Our Coinage-!.
by joim siie::.man.
In 1792 silver and gold were made tho
common standards of value In the Unit
ed States at the ratio of 15 to 1, but this
was because that then the actual mar
ket value of fifteen ounces of silver was
equal to the actual market value of one
ounce of gold. The greatest care was
taken to ascertain this ratio by Thomas
Jefferson, then secretary of state, and
Alexander Hamilton, then secretary of
the treasury. These two distinguished
statesmen, who disagreed upon nearly
all other questions, did agree upon the
then relative value of the two metaU
and that both should bo coined into
money at that ratio. At that time
neither gold nor silver was found in any
considerable quantity In the thirteen
states then forming the union. The
revolutionary war had been conducted
with paper money, which became
worthless, and the coins of Spain, Eng
land and other countries had been made
a legal tender and continued si for many
years after the adoption of the constitu
tion. When the new American coins were
issued It was found that the abraded
and worn coins of other countries filled
the channels of circulation, and the new
and bright dollars of the United States
were exported. This led to the discon
tinuance. In 1806, by President Jefferson
of the coinage of the silver dollar, and
after that date none were coined for
more than thirty years. This order of
Jefferson, I suppose, would be called by
our Popullstlc friends "the crime of
1806." In the mean time France and
other countries adopted the ratio of fif
teen and one-half ounces of silver as
the equivalent of one ounce of gold. To
avoid these embarrassing changes Eng
land In 1S16 adopted gold as the single
standard in that country and silver as
subsidiary coin.
In 1S34, during the administration of
President Jackson and under the leader
ship of Daniel Webster and Thomas H.
Benton, congress adopted the ratio of
16 of silver to 1 of gold, by reducing the
number of grains In the gold coin. As
silver was thus slightly undervalued, it
was not largely coined. Silver could be
coined In France at the ratio of 15',i to
1, and the owner of sliver bullion could
send It to France and have It converted,
Into coin at that ratio, thus receiving
about 3 per cent, more for his bullion
than if coined at the American ratio of
16 to 1. Gold became the only Ameri
can coin in circulation, and the avowed
purpose of the passage of the law of
1S34 was to make gold the standard.
This was declared by the committee of
the house of representatives who had
charge of the bill who said In their re
port: The committee think that the desidera
tum in the monetary system Is a standard
of uniform value; they cannot ascertain
that both metals have ever circulated sim
ultaneously, concurrently and indiscrim
inately In any country where there are
banks or money dealers, and they enter
tain the conviction that the nearest ap
proach to an invariable standard Is lis
establishment In one metal, which metal
shall compose exclusively the currency for
large payments.
This law, heartily approved by An
drew Jackson, would now be called "the
crime of 1S31." In 1S53, upon the report
of Senator Hunter, when Pierce was
president, and when all branches of the
government were under Democratic
control, congress reduced the quantity
of silver in the fractional coins (half
dimes, dimes, quarters and half dollars)
more than 6 per cent., directed the pur
chase of the silver for their coinage on
government account, abolished the law
for their free colnagj and made them a
leftal tender for $5 only, leaving gold
still praetleully the only full legal tender
United States coin. At 'this time the
silver dollar had disappeared from the
current coins of the United States, and
was practically nnd purposely, demone
tized. The purpose of this act Is thus
stated by the chairman of the commit
tee having the bill in charge in the house
of representatives:
We propose, so far as those coins nro
concerned, to make silver subservient to
the gold coin of the country. We Intend
to do what the best wi iters on political
economy have approved; what experience.
wnere me experiment ).:.. been tried, hnn
demonstrated to bo the best and what the
committee believes to be necessary and
proper to make but one standard of cur
rency and to make all others subservient
to It. We mean to make gold the standard
coin.
This, I suppose, would now bo called
the crime of 18.j3." Silver was practi
cally demonetized by this act and the
act of 1834.
LABOR NEEDS RELIEF.
From the Buffalo News.
The condition of labor throughout the
country is attracting considerable atten.
Ion. J.or Is It well to attempt to conceal
the truth. A certain class of Democratic
papers try to shun any mention of the
disastrous results of the attempt of their
party to conduct the business of the
country. They do not want to show
what a hideous fraud their Free Trade
policy really Is. It Is the duty, however.
of every Republican paper to disclose the
uireiui errects of the destruction of the
protective policy by the Democratic par
ty. The stupendous loss to the country
can be seen and felt on every hand. For
instance. Dun s Review, a weekly publica
tion, has no polltleul bias, and is Impar
tial In Its statements.' It merely reports
and reviews business affairs as they exist.
in Its Issue of Aug. S. lfei. It had this to
say of American labor: "Labor Is more
disturbed than usual. The great strike
of garment workers here has much ex
tended; the strike at Cleveland has broken
out again and Involves several other
branches of lubor; the Iron furnace men
of the Bhenunt;o Valley resist a reduction
to the wages of May, 1895, though Mahon
ing Valley workers do not; the Iron work
ers throughout the country are striving to
cut down cost in order to keepi In opera
tion; the iron mines of the Oogeblc runga
are stopping; the suspension of cotton
mills hus become more general, and over
4,000,000 spindles are said to be Idle at Fall
river alone, and probubly three-eights or
more of the entire producing capacity In
the country; tho rubber works have most
ly stepped, end, notwithstanding the light
weight opening, a number of woolen mills.
Evidently the working force and also
wages have been reduced."
II I! II
How can labor help being "more dis
turbed than usual" under such condi
tions? Note the true returns of trade fail
ures among manufacturers In July for
the past two years and they tell another
story of idle labor. The manufacturing

Over a hundred more failures last month

And the Democrats want to leave the
tariff alone and let labor starve for five
years more. This Is their pet scheme to
draw attention away from the colossal
wrongs of the past four years of national
legislation. Mr. illy an was one ot the
members of the ways and means commit
tee that formulated the Wilson bill. He
voted for It, and for the condition In
which labor exists today. In the Fifty
third congress he expressed his dissatis
faction at the modicum of Protection con
tained In some sections of the original Wil
son bill and expressed his preference for
absolute free trade as follows: "I think
the duties all the way through this bill are
higher than necessary, nnd 1 favor the bill,
not because of its perfection, not because
the duties are brought down as low as they
might be, but because the bill Is Infinite
ly better than the law which we now have,
and is a step in the right direction."
