WILLIAM M'HIM.KV.
Lota of peoplo who thujtight that they
wanted a M-ctnt ilnllnr have i-lianirt'l
'their minds ilurltip the past few weeks.
From the F.irmer'8 Standpoint.
One of the dearest statements that we
have soon f the renl nuaninjr of free
liver to the farmer 1 nuulj In the
Rochester Post-Express ly Senator
Henry Cahc-t Lodge of Massachusetts,
lie Fays:
"The waire earners of ithi United
FitateE. whether oinplnyed In the fa-jtoi y
or on the farm, would suffer more se
verely from the free eolnuge of silver
than any other ola In the community.
They might receive thv same number
of dollars that they do now, but the
value of those dollars would be cut
In halves by the reduction of their pur
chasing power. The wase earners, the
men who are paid at the end of each
liny, or each week, or each month, are
the great creditor class In thp country,
and it Is upon tlveni that the free coln
nge of silver would fall with the great
est severity.
"The farmers are the class to whom
the free silver advocates appeal moist
strongly. They tell them that prices of
farm products will rise with free silver.
This la no doulvt true, but they do not
tell them thut the price of everything
they have to buy would also rise, ko
that they would be no better off than
they were before. On the other hand,
farmers would be Injured directly in
other ways, apart from the question of
the price of what they sell and buy.
Any farmer who had laid up money In
the savings bank or elesewhere would
have It cut In two. If he happened to be
a soldier nnd drawing a tension, ho
would lose one half his pension. If he
has insured his life for 'the benefit of his
family he hns paid his premium In
gold, but under free silver coinage the
insurunce would be paid In silver and
reduced one half in value.
"But there is a broader view to be
taken than this, and one which every
Intelligent farmer ought to take. Th
farmers are a part of the great com
munity which we call the people'of the
United States. One portion of the pop
ulation cannot prosper if al! the rest
suffer. The farmer will not make
money if the people who buy their pro
duets are injured and ruined by u bad
financial policy. The election of Bryan
would mean the most terrible panic
that this country has ever seen. It
would mean the wholesale reduction of
Wages and the temporary or permanent
destruction of many industries. Tho
great wage earning and business
classes on whom this disaster would
chiefly fnll are those who buy of the
farmer and make his prosperity, and
When they suffer he will suffer, too.
- "There is no lass in the community
no profoundly interested In the main
tenance of sound currency, which is
one of the essential conditions of good
business', as the farmer. I cannot be
Jlqve that the farmer of the United
States, who are an intelligent and pa
triotic class of men, can support a poli
cy or vote for a party whose Buccesa
would not only ruin them but involve
the repudiation of the national debt,
and deal a deadly blow at national
credit and national honor."
'When Ll Hung Chang- compares the
memory of his friend General Grant
with the Individual whoso name at
present adorns the white house door
plate, erected by the votes of the peo
ple, it will doubtleEB be apparent to the
celestial statesman that the wheel of
American progress has slipped several
cogs in the WTong direction.
"I do not know what you think
about it, but I believe that it is a
good deal better to open tho
mills of the I'nited States to the
labor of America than to open up
the mints of the I'nited States
to the silver of the world."
WILLIAM M'KIXLEY.
A "tariff for revenue only." that does
not provide even a respectable portion
of the revenue, Is a poor subject for
a campaign battle-song just now.
Our Hospitable President.
Citizen George Francis Train has
summed up the nation's lack of courtesy
towards LI Hung Chang In the follow
ing characteristic words:
liucst in a hotel. Received by the pres
ident of the nation In the house of a Tam
many law clerk, that deserted the TigT
when he became rich. An Insult to the
man the crowned heads of Europe could
not entertain lavishly enough. A diplo
matic mistake, ell her from Ignorance or
design. LI will feel the Insult. Too great
a man to let it Interfere with the relations
between the two countries. Cleveland too
busy cal-llshing and yawllng to meet him
In the white house. Take the tip. LI will
not go to Washington at all.
The indifference of the Buzzards' Bay
fisherman to the importance of LI Hun'
Chang's visit has been remarked upon
by others than Citizen Train. While
another poses as Emperor of China, It Is
evident that the fa ill mis viceroy Is realty
the power behind the throne and it is his
ininrcssions of this country that will
be of benefit or Injury to American trade
and Interests In the flowery kingdom.
At the close of our war nearly every
dominant inlluence in China, was dis
tinctively American. Almost down to
1S70 Americans commanded the Chinese
army In nearly all Its departments, what
little navy the government hnd was ofll
cered chiefly by Americans and the
trade of the empire was controlled m re
largely by American capital than by
that of any other nation In the world.
Americans held Important prlvllegi 3
fruin the government and the Influence
of the United States In the cabinet of
the emperor was more Important than
that of any of the European countries.
There was not a government In the
world that did not envy this country for
the position It held In Chinese affairs.
Slowly but surely we have lost nearly
every position of supremacy we then
held In the Chinese empire. Other na
tions control Its trade and while the au
thorities of that country have never lost
either their respect for or confidence in
our government we have lost much of
the substantial benefits arising from the
close relations that existed between the
two governments prior to 1X71.
The war with Japan has demonstrated
to the exclusive Chinaman that modern
civilization Is necessary lt order that
China may continue to be known as a
powerful nation, and he hus been forced
to admit that Japan's success In tho
conlllct was due to the spirit of progress
that has pervaded the rejuvenated
little country for many years past.
The elements of such civilization must
be imported, as they nro not Indigenous
to the soil of China. Where those germs
are to be taken from will be decided by
the Chinese ambassador now In this
country. He is sharp enough to see dif
ferences In national habits and customs
and he knows enough of national char
acteristics to be a competent judge as t-
which alliance will prove most beneficial
to his own country. He has known. In
timately, some of the best American
statesmen and they have won his regard
and confidence. If what he sees In this
country and the treatment he receives
from Its people confirm the views of
America which he had 'when he landed
In this country it is more than probable
that American Jidens and Influence may
again be as powerful In China as they
were fn 1SB9.
It Is not surprising, therefore, that
many besides Citizen Train should blush
at the ill manners of the Individual who
has been twice honored with the highest
ofllce in the land, who after shaking
hands with the nation's guest at a prl
vato residence In New York, calmly
turns his back upon one of the world's
greatest statesmen and returns to the
brainy contemplation of the bobbing
cork and fishllne.
Merchants and business men gen
erally will do well to remember that this
month contnlns an "K," and that it Is
the early advertiser who secures the
patronage oyster.
History of Our Coinage. --II.
BY JOHN SHERMAN.
When tho Republican party came In
to power in 1S61 by the election of Mr.
Lincoln, it had to face a formidable re
bellion. Gold and silver were alike
banished from circulation, and Irre
deemable paper money of all denomi
nations, from 10 cents to $1,000, was
substituted in place of eoln. When the
war was over the Republican party
sought to restore specie payment as
soon as practicable. In March, 1869, It
pledged the faith of the nation to pay
ment in coin or its equivalent of all
bonds of the United States and to re
deem the United States notes at the
earliest practicable moment in coin.
In order to carry out this pledge, it
became necessary to revise the various
coinage lavs of the United States. This
was promptly and very carefully done
by a bill framed in the Treasury de
partment, while Mr. Uoutwell was sec
retary. It was thoroughly considered
by tho experts of that department, and
was printed and submitted to all per
sons In tho United States who were
supposed to be familiar with the coin
age laws. The bill containing sixty
seven sections, accompanied by a mass
of Information that fills a volume, was
sent to congress April 23, 1S70, by See.
retary Uoutwell, and its passage was
strongly recommended by him. This
bill omitted from the coins of the United
States the Bilver dollar, precisely as
was done In 1853, but provided for the
coinage of the fractional rarts of the
dnllur In accordance with the act of
that year. The bill was pending in con
gress for three years was carefully
considered in both houses and special
nttention was called to the omission of
the 4!L'H-Rraln silver dollar, which was
never In the bill ut any stage, and the
reasons for this omission given. It
was finally determined, at the urgent
request of members from the Pacific
Coast, to Insert amcni: the silver coins
a trade dollar containing 420 grains of
standard silver, but this dollar was
made, like the minor coins, a legal
tender for J5 only. There was but one
yea and nay vote on lhe bill, and that
wns on the proposition to repeal the
charge made by the mint for tho coin
age of gold. I voted against Its repeal.
The bill passed both houses and be
came a law February 12, IS"::, by prac
tically n unanimous vrtte of bothjpar
ties and was specially supported and
voted fur by the senators and members
from the silver states.
It was, in fact, it wise measure of
public policy, carefully discussed and
considered during throe years. When
we test the outcry against this net with
the sober facts shown by official rec
ords, it appears slmnly ludicrous. The
total number of silver dollars coined
from 1732 to 1S73 was 8.031.238, while the
'number of trade dollars Issued under
the coinarfe act of 1S73, containing TVis
grains more silver than the old dollar,
was 3j,!)ti3,924, nnd the number of stand
ard silver dollars coined under the
lilnnd-Alllson net of 1S78 was 430,790,
011, or fifty-four times the number Is
sued before 1873.
An eustern man hus Invented a pl.tnn
which will also produce tones like an
organ and violin. When one considers
what may be accomplished In the way
of torture with an ordinary piano In
proper hands, nervous people a.re justi
fied In reira.rdlng the new terror with
feelings of apprehension.
Ex-General Manager Harrlty has wan
dered so far beyond the outskirts of poli
tics that he will have nothing to do
with tho Indianapolis convention. So
long as 'the gas can be kept In the boom
of Henry Wo.tterson, however. It Is not
likely that searching1 parties will be
organized to bring Harrlty Into camp.
It Is bellcvd that If the services of
Undo Sam, M. D., could be engaged far
the "sick main" of the East, recovery
will be rapid and permanent.
TVhen Billy Bryan shakes hands with
the tollers of Eastern Pennsylvania hie
will probably explain why he voted for
free coal.
BRYAN AND JOHN SHERMAN.
From the AHoona Tribune.
In his Madison Sipiare speech Bryan de
clares that the present business depres
sion is due to falling prices brought about
by legislation hostile to sliver. He and
his followers have hit upon the act of 1873
us the most unfriendly law and denounce
it as a "crime." Mr. Sherman, In his
pointed review of the silver legislation at
Columbus lust week, makes the Inference,
with quiet humor, that as this bill was In
his charge, he must be "the chief crim
inal." The voter who honestly desires to
be right on the free coinage question
should give these public addresses of the
"boy orator" nnd the "chief criminal" an
unprejudiced comparison. He will speed
ily see that Bryan's views are not backed
by adequate experience In public affair
nor by sufficient facts, but are clearly tho
means by which he hopes to become presi
dent. He talks glibly of the good of the
"masses." but his desire for political ag
grandizement can bo plainly detected. His
words have not the ring of sincerity or
conscientious purpose. He speaks with
the complaisant belief that his mere say
so settles the question, lsut what has he
done, what hns he been and what Is he
today that his dictum should be all-powerful?
He is plainly shown to lack the pru
dence of a statesmen by tho recklessness
with which he seeks to array tho peoplo
ngnlnst the "money changing classes,"
the very men who, by renson of life long
dealing with money affairs, must have tho
safest Judgment of a financial policy.
!! i II
Turning to Mr. Sherman's address the
voter will see his dignified coiilldencein
calling himself the "chief criminal." Back
of all he says Is the solidity of years of
public experience. He states no theories,
he makes no mere assertions, but recites
history and gives facts w hieh form a bul
wark against which the visionnry doc
trine.' of the silverltes beat as harmless
as tho puffs of a summer wind. He has
nothing to gain, no political ambition to
serve; his sole object Is to preserve the
financial Integrity of the nation against
a foe. He docs not tell the peoplo in dan
gerous phrases that they are ground down
by the gold men, but, by Incontroverti
ble figures, shows that no crime whatever
was committed against them by the act
of 1873. For example, he demonstrates
that the sound money statesmen have
been the truest friends of silver, for more
than fifty-four times as many silver dol
lars have been coined since the "crime of
1873" than In the entire period between
that yrnr and 17P2, when the first eolnago
act was passed. In addition, lie states that
the very men who denounce believers in
the coinage of gold and silver as "rob
bers" and "goldites," urced the passage
of the act of 1873. In )S!)0 this same "crim
inal" against silver fathered n hill which
authorized the purchase of M.OOa.onO
ounces of the white metal annually, and
he quotes treasury records to show that
undfr that law over HN.OMO.noo lino ounces
of silver were bought by the government.
It surely committed no crime against sil
ver In buying more than it could use.
There is In the Philadelphia mint today
1 1J.1"I..'3S worth of uncoined silver ht'l-
lion. .Mr. Sherman s facts and figures can
be -erlfled: but how can the truth of Bry
an's assertions be absolutely tested?
II I! II
Each of these men Is a renresentatlve.
Bryan stands for an experiment, which
has behind it only liir own political ambi
tion, the dishonesty of certain debtors,
and the greed of western mine owners.
Back of Sherman are the ablest states
men and financiers, who. Irrespective of
party, are united In the opinion that this
experiment would work untold disaster,
especially to the "masses," for whom
Bryan and his popocrats profess so much
solicitude. From an unbiased examina
tion of the two addresses the voter may
find It much easier to determine whose
views are safest those of a man who has
had little connection with financial affairs
or those of an eminent statesman whoso
life has been devoted to the public service
and a patriotic desire to advance the wel
fare of his country.

"It the profession had to rely on Bryan
and free Mlver 'gags' to amuse the peo
ple," said a theatrical manager at the
Auditorium this morning, "there would bn
a lurge unmoor of disappointed unlet
turn pedestrians with thoughts of homu
and mother.
"I never before saw a preldentlul cam
paign where the patrons of theaters wero
to overwhelmingly one-sldrd in thru- pref
erences. We have hud to chungu our pro
gramme and exclude ail topical songs and
references to the free-silver Democratic
ctu.dldate and the causa he represents.
When the season opened we arranged to
givo both sides a show. It is a good way to
est public sentiment. Wo arranged to
havo one artist appeal to his hearers far
Hryan and silver and then be followed
by another sounding the praises of Mc
Kli Icy and sound money.
"It was soon demonstrated that the
audiences were so violent in their disap
proval of Bryan and silver that female
artists in the company declined to voice
the Democatic sentiment. In New York
any reference to Bryan or sliver Is hissed
At Manhattan Ueach ono of the perform
ers a few weeks ago commenced to give
a skirt dance each day, during the per
formance of which a picture of Bryan
wus thrown on her by means of colored
lights. The audience showed Its disap
proval so forcibly that tho feature was
withdrawn. At most of tho roof gardens
In Chicago the Bryan gags have disap
peared entirely, because they are go un
popular." TAKING NO CHANCES.
rittsburg Dispatch.
.Mr. T. V. Powderly compresses one piv
otal consideration into a very few words,
when he doses his cogent argument for
voting for .McKlnley as follows: "Any
way, I am taking no chances and will
vote for .McKlnley."
Mr. Powderly is able to recollect that a
majority of the nation was Induced to
take chances four years ago. Due of tha
methods used to induce it to tako the
chances was the overflowing promise of
prosperity made by .Mr. Bryan it they
would put the free trade Democracy In
power. .Mr. Bryan, as one of the chief
advocates of the Democratic party, used
both In congress anil on the stump the
same method of attacking capital and en
terprise that he Is now using. The only
dllTereuce was that his arguments were a
little less sophistical then than now, and
appealed less plainly to prejudice mid pass
ion. The people have experienced three
years of the results of "taking chances"
on tho strength of his promise. Do they
want to tuke any more chances on the
same foundation?
Mr. Powderly says that he,' for one,
does not. We think that the sound senae
of the American people will agree with
him that the certainties of the system that
prevailed from 1878 to 1S'J3 are much better
than tho chances held Qiit by Mr. Bryan's
cheap and shallow promises.

SLAP AT PATRIOTISM.
From the Wllkes-Barre News-Dealer.
Lackawanna county was unrepresent
ed at the convention of "honest" money
Democrats In Philadelphia. Just why
they should adopt the name of Jefferson
is a mystery. Jefferson always believed
In the rule of tho majority, and this the
"honest" money Democrats refuse to
accept. R. Bruce Rlcketts, of this city,
was selected elector at large, and Ueorge
Wright district elector, uml It is ex
tremely doubtful if either of them ever
votes unless some friend is on the tick
