True and Honest.
The McKinley and Hobart club of
Kaoxville, Allegheny county visited Mc-
Kinley at Canton, last Thursday. John
Eberhait, president of the club and form
er president of the glassworkers' union
of Knowxville, acted as spokesman, and
did well; and McKinley answered as fol
lows:
"Mr. Eberhart and my fellow-citizens
—I am glad indeed to meet and greet the
Knoxville McKinley and Hobart Repub
lican club in this city and at my home,
and I thank you most cordially for trav
eling no long a distance to express your
personal good will to me and your devo
tion to the great principles of the Repub
lican party.
"You are right, Mr, Spokesman, in
saying that the Republican party stands
now, and it has always stood, for a
sound and stable currency and for the
maintenance of all its money of every
kind at parity and always equal to the
best money of the most civilized nations
of the earth. [Applause.] A depreciat
ed currency, as you have so well said,
would work disaster to the interests of
the people, and to none more than those
of the workingmen and producers. Long
years ago Daniel Webster said that they
were tte first to feel it and the last to re
cover from it. 'A disordered currency,'
said he, 'is fatal to industry, frugality
and economy. It fosters the spirit of
•peculation and extravagance. It is the
most effectual of inventions to fertilize
the rich man's field with the sweat of the
poor man's brow.'
"That which we call money, ray fel
low citizens, and with which values are
measured and settlements marie, must t*
as true as the bushel which measures the
grain of the farmer, and as honest as the
hours of labor which the man who toils
is required to give." [Loud applauie.]"
"One must be as full and complete and
as honest as the other. [Applause.] our
currency to-day is good—all of it as good
as gold—and it is the unfaltering de
termination of the Republican party to
so keep and maintain it forever.
[Cheers.] It is the duty of the people
of this country to stand united against
every effort to degrade our currency or
debase our credit. [Cries of 'They
will.'] They must unite now, as they
have united in the past in every great
crisis of our country's history. When
the country seemed wildly bent on in
flation preceding the resumption of specie
payments, the sober sense of the Ameri
can people without regard to party unit
ed and stemmed that threatened tide of
irredeemable paper money and repudia
tion and placed and kept the nation on
the rock of public honor, sound finance
and honest currency.
"You have rightly stated, sir, that the
Republican party not only tielieves in
sound money and the highest public
faith and honor on the part of the gov
ernment of the United States to all its
creditors, but also that it believes in a
tariff which while raising enough money
to conduct the government economically
administered, will »«*rve the highest and
best interests of American labor, Ameri
can agriculture, American commerce anil
American citizenship. [Cheering.] Some
of our political opponents arc given to
Mying that the tariff question is settled.
If we arc not wrong in interpreting their
meaning, we think they are right flaugh
ter). aud thank them for the confession.
[Applause J.
"We believe that the tariff question is
settled—settled in the minds and hearts
of the American people, and settled on
the side of protection. [Tremendous
cheering.] But however firmly it may
be settled in the public mind, it is not
yet settled in public law. What is in
the hearts and consciences of the people
touching any public question is not ef
fective until it is written in public stat
ute, and this can only lie done through
the exercise of the elective franchise m
the choice of a Congress of the United
States which makes our public laws. No
one, 1 take it, will regard the present
tariff law as a last and final settlement 'if
the question. Whatever may be our
differences about the economic principle
upon which tariff legislation should lie
made, all agree that the present tariff
law is a failure even as a revenue meas
ure.
"So, without discussing the principle
of free trade or protection, everybody
must appreciate that no law is a settle
ment which creates very month a de
ficiency in the public treasury. [ Loud
applause and cheering.] The people of
this country are not satisfied with such
an enactment and will not lie satisfied
until a public Uw shall express the pub
lic will in a statute which will provide
adequate revenues for the needs of the
government, full security for its credit
and ample protection to the labor, capi
tal and energy of the American people.
[Applause.] I thank you, my fellow
citizens, for this friendly call, and I as
sure you that it will give me pleasure to
meet each and every one of you person
ally." [Tremendous applause and cheer
»lK].
After the speeches there was singing
by a glee club and music by the band,
PKOPI.K love to be swindled, at least
some of tlieni do. Have you ever ob
served how a stranger with a glib tongue
will sell articles on the street in large
quar.ities that you could buy cheaper
from your home merchants? And the
vender of patent medicines who does not
understand the first rudiments of medical
science, because he has learned to speak
a nice little piece describing the symp
toms of a few diseases, is put down as
xnowing a great deal Zivnt than your
home physicians who have spent much
time and money acquiring a medical
education. Aud it is the same in politics.
The man of education ami sound knowl
edge, who has made a study of the sci
ence of government, and tells you the
plain honest truth atxiut things with
conscientious sincerity, is not heeded.
While the political quack who panders
to your prejudices, arouses your animosi
ties against certain of your fellowmen
by slandering tlieui and deceives you
with living sophistry, is the man you are
likely to follow.—Fx.
How Would Free Coinage Affeet Me?
From the New York Herald.
This is the question that millions of
voters are asking to-day, and if it is ans
wered intelligently Mr. Bryan will be
swept out of tight in November.
If vou are working for wages or salary,
or if "you are in receipt of a fixed sum
I from "investments or from a pension. then
free coinage would virtually reduce your
income nearly one-half and compel you
| to live on a much poorer scale.
You would receive just the same num
ber of dollars as at mesent. but it would
take near'y two dollars to buy as much
clothing or food as you now get for one;
your rent would be nearly doubled,
every item in the cost of living would be
advanced in the same proportion.
Do you doubt this? Reflect a moment.
The leaders in the free silver movement
have avowed that their purpose is to ad
vance prices. They tell the farmer that
with free silver he will get twice as muc.i
for his wreat and corn as he now receives.
The intrinsic value of products would not
be changed by any trick we might play
with our coins. The prices of products
in the great markets of the world would
not be advanced, and right here they
would not exchange for any more gold
than before, but they would exchange for
more of the silver dollar! which with free
coinage, and we will presently show,
would be worth about fifty three cents
But they would by law be full legal
tender dollars. You salary or pension or
wages would be paid with these dollars.
They are the dollars in which you would
receive your income from investments
unless you have specially contracted for
gold. If any man owes you one hundred
dollars he could pay you with one hun
dred of these coins, which would buy no
more in the markets than vou can get
with fifty three dollars today. If your
lif»- is insured for ten thousand dollars,
and you should die, your family would
rfCtiye ten thousand of the depreciated
dollars, which would only ouy as many
of the necessaries and comforts of life as
five thousand three hundred of the pre
sent honest dollars. If you have some
thing in a savings bank or in a building
association or loaned on bond and mort
gage it would come back to you in the
same way in fifty three cent dollars.
If a Tnan has ten dollars in his pocket
and chooses to declare that fifty three
cents is a dollar he may fool himself into
the belief that he has nineteen dollars in
stead of ten, but if he goes shopping and
tenders fifty three cents for a dollar the
merchants will very quickly adjust their
prices to his depreciated standard. \V hen
he selects an article marked ten dollars
they will say: "Oh, yes, that is the price
in the old fashioned dollars, but we must
charge you eighteen dollars and eight
cents." Now, the government can't
create wmething out of nothing. It can
call fifty three cents worth of silver a dol
lar, and make it legal tender for a dollar,
and so compel present creditors to accept
it as payment for a dollar, but it is impo
tent as any individual to give it the pur
chasing pewer ot an honest dollar, be
cause every merchant at once raises the
price of his goods to offset the deprecia
tion in the measure of value.
The question is asked Why should
not a silver dollar under free coinage Iroy
as much as it does now? Because there
is only a limited number of the silver
dollars now in existence and the govern
ment is able to keep them equivalent to
gold dollars. But if all the world were
permitted to bring silver to the mints
and get a silver dollar for every 37»X
grains of it the government could not
keep this unlimited number of dollars at
a parity, and, like those of Mexico, they
would have to circulate at the value of
the bullion they contain, and this at the
present price of silver is about 53 cents.

In Broadway, at the corner ot Leonard

Bryan's Two Questions.
There are two questions which fjrator
Bryan wishes to have answered. He as
serts that—
"They are questions that will be asked
over and over again in this campaign.
They are questions we will be asked with
ever increasing emphasis. These two
questions are these:
If the gold standard is 11 good thine
why should we try to get rid of ft, and if
the gold standard is a bad thing why
should we wait until some other nations
arc willing to help us let go?"
It is a matter of indifference how often
those questions arc asked. They will l>e
answered so quickly and fully that liryan
will get sick of asking them. There are
questions to be put to him, however,
which he will not answer. They will tie
pressed home during the campaign, but
ne wit) dodge them till the election is
over.
The answers to Bryan's questions are
as follows: The United States has the
gold standard uow. It never lis*d any
other except in greenback times. All the
money the country has besides goid has
been held at parity with gold for eigh
teen years. That means the gold stand
ard.
No honest money man believes that
standard is a bad thing, nor is he trying
to get rid of it. The proj»osition to act
in conjunction with other nations in au
effort to elevate depreciated silver, and
hold it at the purchasing power of gold,
is not a proposition to abandon the gold
standard. It contemplates the continued
maintenance of that standard.
What ratio a congress of nations may
«<lopt to enhance the purchasing power
of silver canuot tie known until such a
congress has acted. Bnt neither that
congress nor any of the nations taking
part in it will give up the gold standard.
Notjody contemplates such a tiling.
The Republican platform does not con
template it. Bryan, in his catchy, de
ceptive question, intimates that it does,
but his question can catch only fools, and
his side nas a monopoly of them already.
So much for Bryan's questions. Here
is one for him to answer. What does he
and his Popocrats mean by the catch
phrase in their platform about the free
coinage of silver "and of gold, at the pre
sent legal ratio of 16 to 1?"
Why do they apeak of the coinage of
gold at that ratio* Bryan has not enough
impudence to permit him to assert that
gold would circulate with silver at that
ratio for five minutes. He has not the
effrontery to allege that any gold would
be coined on the oasis of the ratio of 16
to 1.
Bryan and his Pops know that ratio is
an impossibility. They advocate silver
monometallism, which is the Alpha and
Omega of their whole scheme. So they
use the words "free coinage of gold" (or
humbug ptirjioses only. Before the cam
paign of education concludes they will
wish they had left those words out.
But the question for Bryan to answer
is: Why were those words put in? Why
was "the cross of gold" recognized in the
platform?— Chicago Tribune.

CALLED IT BLASPHEMY.
Bishop John P. Newman of the M. E.
Church, delivered the address on the oc
casion of the national service in the
Auditorium at Ocean Grove, lately, and
took for his subject "Our Country's Mis
sion." In the course of liis address the
Bishop said:
"Never before since the war of the re
bellion has there been a greater necessity
for an American citizen to understand his
obligations to the government and appre
ciate the perilous times which confront
us, than there is at the present day.
Never Ijefore, since the days of Lincoln
and Grant, have we needed God-chose 11
leaders more than we do now. There
comes a time in the history of the world
when men shall forget their church, and
there also comes a time when patriotic
men shall forget party and stand by the
country, and if a man can't stand by his
country when his country is in jx-ril,
then he should get out of the country,
for he is net worthy of his country. Our
land, the land of tbe free, under certain
conditions, is the wealthiest nation on
the face of the earth, and our jn-r capita
wealth is larger than that of England,
and cny man who attempts to interrupt
the prosperity of America should be in
terrupted himself.
The founders of America commenced
where other great nations left off and
gave us a form of government that has
challenged the admiration of the world.
Of the 59 giants who prepared our Con
stitution 2<) of them were university men;
so it is no wonder that they did their
work well, a«d we have maintained this
high standard of intellect in our rulers,
except in one or two instances, where by
accident, others have succeeded in oc
cupying the chair once graced by Wash
ington. To maintaiii tins standard of
intelligence among our rulers is the duty
of all good citizens, but the standard
mnst be maintained by men of mature
yearH, men who can be trusted to take
proper care of our finances.
The revolutionary war exhausted the,
right of revolution, ami there should
never have b;en another war in this coun
try. Kvery war since that time has l«ren
a crime against society and a crime
against God. But the Americans believe
in the law of self-defense, and there may
be, before long, a justifiable war to pro
tect the Constitution of the United States
aud the rights of our citizens.
America requires no standing army to
defend her citizen:,, for every citizen is a
soldier in disguise, and his right to de
fend himself is as justifiable as a saint's
prayer. The time has come to awaken
the lawyers, the editors, the merchants,
the bankers, aud have them understand
that America was not l>orn to die.
The cross of Jesus Christ was designed
to be the syml>ol for the atonement, awl
was never intended to be the emblem of a
political party, to l>e used to teach an
archistic doctrines. The crown of thorns
was for tbe Savior's brow, and not for
those men who would overthrow the l<rst
government on earth, I predict, too, that
the man who dares to blaspheme to the
sacred cross will find written some night
on the walls of his chamber the words,
'Mene, mene, tekcl upharsin thou art
weighed in the balance ami found want
ing,' and 110 man who has IM:CII educated
to resj>ect his country and its financial
credit with sister nations will betray his
country for thirty pieces of silver.
In closing the bishop intimated that
the Populists were anarchistic 111 their
demands, aud a man in the audience ex
citedly shouted: "William J. Bryan is a
Populist, and a good American citizen."
Confusion followed for a moment, when
the bishop closed by saying: "1 am a
Republican, but, above all, I am au
American citizen."
Hundreds rushed to the platform and
shook bauds with the bishop, and con
gratulated him for his patriotic utter
ances. 1
IA Friendly Diapute.
(Quiet Observer in Com. Ga/.)
I "We have just dropped in to have you !
I settle a friendly dispute," said one of
! two reallv fine-looking ladies.
"Yes," said the other, "I suggested
you as umpire, because you are supposed
to know everything; l>esides the Com
i mercial Gazette has been our family
i paper for over 40 years—my father be- j
gan taking it long before I was born."
The latter clause of that sentence was ;
what saved her from being suspected of
using vouth renewers.
"Well, we have taken this paper as
long a? I can remember, but I'll not
venture to say just how long ago that
mav be," observed the other.
"But to the question," she continued.
"She says that 16 to 1 means 16 ailver
dollars for one gold dollar.''
"Sow, it does, don't it?" broke in the
other after the manner of a baseball
plaver demanding judgement.
"No, it does not," rejoined the other.
"Of course it does—what else can it
mean?"retorted the other.
"Why, didn't I tell you it means that
16 parts of silver to 1 part of gold is a
standard dollar?'"
"You said that, but yon couldn't find
a standard dollar."
"Nor you couldn't find anybody who
would give 16 silver dollais for one of
gold."
"But you can find them when Bryan's
elected, can't yc.u?"
"When Bryan's elected you will be li
able to get anything whatsoever," ob
served the umpire.
"There, didn't I tell you?" and the 16
to 1 lady clapped her hands in glee.
"But he means that the moon will turn
to green chese when Bryan's elected,"
said the other.
• How absurd! Such a thing never has
happened and never will."
"Of course not, and that's just what
he meant, and you couldn't see it."
"Well, I guess I am not any dumber
than some other people I know," retort
ed Mrs. 16 to 1.
"Nobody said you were."
"Then what did you mean?"
"I meant that he said the moon would
turn to green cheese as soon as Bryan
is elected."
"That's worse and more of it. You
didn't say that at all, did you?" appeal
ingly to the umpire.
"Of course you did, but didn't mean
that such a thing could happen, did you?
"Such a thing as what.'" demanded
Mrs. 16 to 1.
"As Bryan being elected."
•'Who aid he would be elected?"
"You did."
"I never. Did I?"
"Why, Mrs. ."
"How ridiculous!"
">'ow, don't be absurd."
"The i-dee-a!"
"Well then, what did you say?"
"I merely said the moon had never
turned to green cheese, and it never
will," replied Mrs. 16 to r, and empha
sized her reply by jabbing a pair of scis
sors into the desk and bending the {joints
so badly they will have to be sent to the
blacksniithshop for repair before they can
be used.
"There now, you've spoiled the mall's
shears and he won.t be aide to get the
paper out."
"O! I'tn awfully sorry; but you don't
get the paper out with the shears, do
you?" and Mrs. 16 to 1 smiled so sweet
ly, ami looked so innocent that the um
pire declared he was glad she had ruined
the scisrors and that he never used them
except for trimming his finger nails and
spr-aring cock-roaches.
' Roaches! Mercy me," exclaimed Mrs.
16 to 1, hastily, rising and shaking her
skirts.
"Well, I guess we've bothered ypu
long enough." observed the other, rising
and casting searching glances over a pile
of suspicious-looking rubbish that had
accumulated on one end of the desk.
"Yes, indeed, I know you must be
nearly Vxjred to death with people com
ing in to get your opinion on all sorts of
questions," said Mrs. 16 to 1, quite
meekly.
It was plainly noticable that the color
was leaving her face, but whether this
was due to the subsiding of her agitation
over the 16 to 1 problem, or to her fear
of nasty roaches, may never be known.
"Well, we are ever so much obliged to
you for your kindness, and will read
your f rticles with ever so much more in
terest, now that we know you to be so
kind and amiable."
"Yes, indeed; but we will have to
hustle if we catch O-oh! merciful
heavens!" and Mrs. 16 to x sprang to
wards the door.
"It was a fly," said the other, in
tender, assuring tones.
"I thought it was a "

Free Coinage.
[Extract from Tom Reed's speech at
Altrid, Maine, last week,]
"Their remedy is the coinage of silver,
if, to 1. What does that mean?
"Heretofore whenever gold and silver
have stood together it has been at the
market value. When we tried to make
gold and silver circulate together we have
always married them according to their
market value. Today we find them, not
16 to 1, but 31 to 1, and they are going,
they say, to lift silver to twice its value,
not by the universal sense of mankind,
which alone makes values, but by the
statue of the United States, single hand
ed against the civilized world.
Why should the United States try to
do this alone? 1 won't discuss the ques
tion whet her the free coinage of silver
will raise it to par or not. Very few peo
ple claim that it will, anil if they did I
could not believe them.
I was told in IS9O by two of the most
sincere as well as the ablest silver men
that the purchase of 4,500,000 ounces a
month would raise silver to par, and when
we did buy it, silver went down like lead.
Silver men have not been gcjod prophets
in the past. What we want is not more
money, but more capital money always
comes with capital. We have money
now, more than we can use, lying idle.
We have just exported a lot of it. Money
is the transferer of capital, as a hay rack
and horses is a transferer of hay. More
hayracks will never make more hay. but
more hay will require more hayracks.
Our capital is great, l*tt the United
States is very much greater. There are
millions of vjuare miles anil 75,000,01*1 of
people and undeveloped riches without
stint. But there is not capital enough to
ke.-p 75,000,000 of people at work. When
are we the most prosperous? it is when
the 75,000,000 are all at work, and when
that ha)>pens we borrow of the rest of the
world thousands of millions of dollars.
Now just as soon as this election is
over and the future position 'if the United
States is assured, both as to money and to
the employment of our people, capital is
ready to come to us from abroad and from
our own people, and we shall again l»e
prosperous.

I Political Notes.
The Democrats carried Alabama, Taes- |
; day by al>out 50.000. over the Populists. !
The Republicans had 110 ticket in the
fi<*d.
Mr. A. W. Harris, a silver mine owner
and operator of Kingstown, New Mex
ico, in a letter of congratulation to Major
McKinley declares that in his opiniou
"free and unlimited coinage of silver at
\ a ratio of 16 to 1 would result in silver
monometallism and the consequent over
whelming disturbance of the general
finaticial system of the country." And
he adds: "While my chief interests are
intimately associated with silver mining,
aad I would gladly see the white metal
appreciate in value by any proper and
permanent means. I cannot wish its ac
; complishment at a sacrifice to the general
weal and loss of national financial honor.
It may seem incredible to many Sil
verites that such reasonable and sensi
ble views could emanate from a silver
mine owner; but the truth doubtless is
that not even in the mining camps is
there any such unanimity for tree coin
age as Eastern people have been led to
believe.
United States Senator Edward O.Wol
cott, of Colorado, has issued a statement
giving his reasons for supporting the
Republican National ticket and platform
which have been repudiated by his col
league, Senator Teller. Senator Walcott
declares that he is in favor of free coi
nage of silver but belives that an inter
national agreement is the most desirable
means of securing the result. He says
that the Republeean platform pledges
the party to use its best efforts to pro
mote such an agreement, and thit the
pledge must be taken in good faith, in
view of the party's record upon other
questions. The other planks in the Re
publican platform meet his cordial ap
proval while the declaration of the Dem
ocratic and I'opulistic platfcnn upon
every question, eascept that of silver, he
regards as heretical and injurious.
JODOB ELLIS, of Vonkers, N. Y*. has
thrown out a counter-slogan to match
Bryan's famous figure and dictntn. "You
shall not slay American labor wioh a sil
ver slug," ss.ys Ellis.
