no longer a monopoly nor the capricious
thing It was. Accommodation has oeaaod
to be a favor and has become a matter of
business,"
In eoDoluslon Governor Moloney eays:
"The dominating quostloB here ha been
for years the currency problem; It has
Iwcn coquetted with and never seriously
faced for various reasons Into which It Is
unnecessary now to enter. It can be fairly
claimed that the facte notload In this arti
cle demonstrate that a satisfactory sottlo
tuent of the much vexed question, cur
rency, ha at last been arrived at I'ubllo
credit re-entabltshed on a sound banl ha
been repaired and enhanced, ratability
and rate of exchange equaling those ob
taining In any country have been secured.
There Is reason no longer for hesitation to
InvHHt capital ; before cnpltaliHt naturally
shrank from putting money Into a coun
try where a baromotrlral motley value
and rnto of exchange existed. Now gold
1h paid fur In gold and tho country's pro
ducts aro worked and realized In gold; In
fact, a money has boon established which
Is of the samo value to everyone whether
jmyur or payee. Unquestionably tho
chuuge has been so far a, valuable boon to
tho colony, and It may bo reasonably an
ticipated that It will prove to be a still
greater one In the future"
Honduras Is but a small country, yet
thu laws of value are of unlvorwil applica
tion and tho ovll effect of a depreciated
currency and the good effects of a sound
currency may be studied as well on a small
scale as on a large. The oonf union from
which Honduras has escaped was simply
a small example of what the United H tales
would suffer from an attempt to find a
standard of value In silver. The escape
was made by the adoption of the solontlHo
coinage system of the United State as It
was before the silver agitators had de
stroyed Its consistency and Integrity by
the Illand and Sherman experiments, and
our own passage to financial security Is to
be effected by Imltattag the good soase of
the people of little Honduras.
HUMMING OF A HUMBUG.

"Tha farmers should stand togothor,"
say s William Jounlugs Bryan, "aud pro
tect thomselree from thu drones of society,
who produce nothing but law a."
In professional life Mr. Hryan, we be
lieve, Is a lawyer, and In publlo llfo he has
in for two terms a repreNeBtatlve In
congreHS from tha stuteof Nebraska.
It was as a cougresitman that he became
known to tho couutry ut large, and yot In
congruHH, according to hi own social clikss
lflcntlon, hu wu simply ono of "tho drone
of society, who produce liothlmr but
laws."
In hi Rooch at Dover, lu Delaware, on
Monday Mr. Hryan warned tho farmers
to lieou their guard agalust these drones.
"Just as long a thu nou-producor make
tho laws," ho told them, "It will lie more
pn. 11 table to be a non-producer of wealth."
In this way he has himself been a law
maker Instead of a farmer, a drono of so
ciety, according to his own detluition, lu-
htend of a wealth producing worker?
It strike us that the buzzing of this
drono sound very much like tho hum

of the Republican state commit. too at the
Thirteenth and Walnut streets hcadqnnr
ters last Tuesday was attended by about
two-third of tho entire membership. The
rhlladolphlnni present were Messrs. C. H
Heustls, Harry Hunter, II. 6. Moore, P.
Ijiuhaoh, J. L Haxter, E. . Abrams and
Thomas J. Powers.
Chairman F.Ikln, In opnlng tho pr'
coodings, made a neat and appropriate
speech, In which he said It was expected
that tha Koystone state would, In Ni-
vember noxt, give the high water mnrk
majority for McKlnluy and Hobnrt He
doecrl bed the character of work that the
headquarter had done, mid said that In
the last eight weeks 8,0ii0,0tiQ document
had been distributed among thu voter of
tho state. Ho stated what these docu
ments were. Three hundred vid sixty
thousand voter had heard addresses, and
"oo.UiO two cent stamp used. There had
also Iwcn distributed K12,0iiu photograph
of McKluluy nnd lloburt and 100,000 cam
paign buttons.
Kepresontntlvc from various counties
wore then heard f nun. Allegheny promised,
through Mr. Johnson, 4o,ouo majority, and
Mr. Stevens said hundred of Democrats
In tho western part of tho country wero
willing and ready to vote the Hepublieun
ticket
A "10 to I" Vote.
P. H. Cochran, of Armstrong, said thnt
although hi country was an agricultural
district there would be about "19 Demo
crats to 1 going the other wny." K. M.
Peunell, of Uedford, also made a gratify
ing report, while Mr. Plank, of Berks, said
the "Gibraltar of Democracy" was swim
ming Into the sound money column, and
the bulk of the Democracy would be found
Toting the Republican tlokel
Mr. Hamilton, of Blair, stated that the
mechanics of the A 1 toons shops, who wore
now Idle, would show why they wore Idle
by voting for MoKlnley and Hobart in
November, and there would t a Republi
can majority In the county of 6,000. Mr.
Dodge, of Bradford, also promised an In
creased majority from that county.
Mr. Black, representing Butler onnnty,
admitted that there were few Republicans
tainted with the free silver craze, but this
would be more than offset by the numbor
of Democrat who would vote tho Re
publican ticket. Mr. Mahlon, of Centre,
a minority county, reported thai the
county would be oarried by fully 600 for
the entire Republican ticket Mr. Gra
ham, of Clarion, preillcted that his county
would be taken from the Democracy aud
placed In the Republican column.
Arnold Coiuullmeuted.
Mr. Shaw, who spoke for Clearfield, com
plimented C'ougressiuau Arnold in that
district, nnd said that what the Demo
crats were principally doing was attempt
ing to steal the congressional district, but
thut they would not bu ablo to defeat Ar
nold. Mr. MeCrea, of t'Htitou, said his county
liocume Republican three years ago. In
the farming (list riut thuru was some free
silver sentiment owing to thu industry of
tho free silver people and the neglect of
the Republicans, but he was hopeful that
McKluley would carry the county by from
600 to 700 majority. Mr. Brown, repre
senting Columbia, described dissensions
among thu Democrat thore which tho Re
publican wero taking advantage of.
Mr. Huddle stated that Delaware was
thoroughly organized, aud that e,700 ma
jority would lie given lor MuKlnley. Mo
Klnley would win In Erie, It was reported,
but there might be some difficulty about
the congressman unless Crawford helped
thaiu out
Tha Largest Majority.
"The largest majority ever kaewn." was
promised from Forest, and Seuatur Brewer,
speaking for Franklin, said the '-gold
Democrat was abroad In the laud," and
that 8,000 majority would be given for the
whole tloket
Mr. Chisholm, of Huntingdon, said the
majority there would be remarkable, while
Mr. Robinson, of Indiana, promised a
larger majority in proportion to tho popu
latlou aud votu thuu any other county lu
thu state,
Lnckawnnnn was reported to le ready to
glvu 4,000 fur tho Republican ticket, and
I.nncnstor preillcted a majority of Ixitwccu
12,000 aud 15,000. C'uptaln Clarke, of Law
rence, was hoppful that McKluley and
Ilobart would bo given a substantial ma
jority. Mr. Collins, of Lycoming. nahl his county
was nominally Dumocratlu, but Just now
there was a strong gold sentiment umong
tho Democrats, and he looked for a ma
jority for McKluley of between 600 aud
1,000.
Mereev "All Ulght."
Mr. Haywood said Mercer county was
"all right," while Mr. tShurinnn, of Mif
flin, Kpoke of tho numlier of Democrats
who were going to vote the Republican
ticket Henator Saylor said Montgomery
gave Garfield ono majority, but McKlu

Chairman Elkln stated that he wai well
pleased with the result and then paid a
compliment to Executive Chairman Henry
K. Boyer for the work he had dona
Mr. Boyer wae Introduced and given a
cordial reception. Ho contrasted the re
ports Jnst made with those made to him
Immediately after the Chicago convention,
and said people would hardly believe that
It was the same organisation that was reporting.
Chairman Boyer, referring to a boast
made by a Tlllmanlt that the silver peo
plo had compelled the Pennsylvanlans to
"spend their money at home," denied thnt
the money was being spent at home. It
was lielng spent for the nation, and he as
sured the committee thatlts executive was
living on "mighty short rations." He
hoped the Republicans of the state would
help the committee more In the future.
"Pennsylvania Is easily good for Boo.ono
majority," he said in conclusion, "and I
confidently expect Philadelphia to give
100,000 majority."
AND
THE CRIME OF 1873.
What II Iteally Was, and How II Came
To He Committed.
It Is nllcpcd that the law of 1S73 was en
acted surreptitiously. Mr. Hryan I quoted
as having said that the free coinage men
only ask for a restoration of "that system
that wo had until it was stricken down In
tho darkness wlthoutdiseusslon." Within
the lat ten years the facts of tho legisla
tive history of thnt law tmve lieen pub
lished over nnd over again. They are to
Ih found In the report of tho comptroller
of the currency for 1S7U, pnge!7i; In "Mao
pherson' Political Manual for lwio, piiRC
tn7, nnd In "Sound Currency," volume
III, No, HI. The bill wns Is'fore congress
three years, was explained nnd debuted
ngaln and aaln.
The fact that tho silver dollar was
dropped was expressly pointed out It Is
not now Justifiable for any mnn who
claims to ls honest and responsible to as
sert that it wa passed "In the dark and
without dlscuslon." Tho fact is that no
lxdy cared about It It Is noteworthy that
the act Is not In "Macpherson's Manual"
for 1H74. It was not thought to be of any
Importance. It was not until after the
panic of 1H78 that attention began to be
given to the carrency. To that I, who
write, con testify, elnee I tried In rain be
fore that time to excite any Interest In the
subject. I was once In the gallery of the
house of representatives whon a question
of coinage was before the bouse. 1 00 anted
those members who, as far as I oou!d
judgo, were paying any attention. There
were six. What Is It necessarry to dot In
such n ease (n order to prevent the olid n,
twenty-five year later, when cobb i sis
Interests have vested under the law, that
the law la open to "reversal" becael It
was passed "In the darkr"
How can a law be passed through con
gress surreptitiously? We have Indeed
hoard of bills being "smuggled through"
In the confusion attending the last hours
of the session, or an amendment, or undur
a misleading title, etc. Thore are the rules
of order, however, by which all legislation
Is enacted. All laws which get through
the mill aroequally valid. There nover has
lsvn and never can lie any distinction
drawn lietwevn them according to their
leglhlatlve history. In thu present case
there was not fho slightest manoeuvre or
trick, nor Is there even room to trump up
nn allegation of the kind.
It Is sntd that "thu s'oplu" did not know
what was Is'lng done. How do they ever
know what I lielng done!1 There 1 all tho
machinery of publicity, and it I all at
work. If leoplo do nut heed (and of course
in nearly all case they do not) whose fault
I It? Whois resHinsibletogoto the 10,0m),
lino voters individually and make sure that
they hood, lest twenty-five years later
someliody may say that the fact that thoy
did not heed lays down a justification for
n new project which certainly Is "a crime"
In the new sense which Is given to that
word here?
The act of IA73 did not affect any rights
or Interests. It took away an option which
had vxlsted slate 1K14, but had never been
used, and for ten years before this ant was
passed had sunk eatlrely out of sight un
der paper money Inflation. Secretary
Hunt well, when he first brought the mat
ter to the attention of eongress In 1870, ex
plained tha proposed legislation as a oodl-
llcallou of existing coinage laws. Later
It took the shape of a complete simplifi
cation of existing law, history and fact,
In order to put tha coinage on the simplest
and best system as a basis for resumption.
As wu had then no cola, we had a free
hand to put the system on the ls basis,
there lsilug no vested rights or interests
to I mi disturbed That this wa a wlsoand
sound course to pursuo under tho circum
stances I unquestionable.
Three years later, by the rise In green
backs and the full in silver, It came about
that 4U'S grains of silver, nine-tenths
lino, was worth a little loss than a green
liack dollar. Thu old option would, there
fore, If still existent, have been nn advan
tage to debtors. Complaint and clamor
for the restoration of the optlou then began,
but to give such an option, aftor tho mar
ket had chnnirud, would be playing with
loaded illco. The Kuropcun countries
which still retained tho option abolished
It a soon as silver began to fall, and wu,
If wo had retained It open until that tlmu,
ought to have done the same. Professor

Teter Take Tear Choleel
The Democratic managers are cooking
to represent Mr. Bryan as theespecNl rep
resentative of the tolling masses. Tint
Major MoKlnley Is, In fact, a bettor repre
sentative of the men who toll on the farms
and In the shop than Is Mr. Hryan. He
represents tho cause of protection to Amor
lean Industries, whlto Mr. Bryan repre
sent tho cause of free trade In lnlor on
American soli. But outside of the eco
nomic politics represented by these presi
dential candidates, McKlnley won his
publlo recognition as the defondur of tho
real miners, while Mr. Hryan won his first
public recognition In a speech In favor of
free trade and equal opportunity for Euro
pean Industrie In Amorjcan markets.
Major McKlnley came by his present
position not only through brilliancy of
Intcllcrtiml achievement, but through
I1dullty to a lUcd principle. HI recom
mendation to public olllce was n defense
of laboring men who wero on trial for
burning the works of n coal mining eom
pnny at Masslllon, O. The miner wero
on strike, and during the strike somo 0110
fired the works. More than a scorn of
miners woro indicted and placed on trial,
rhnrgod with Incendiarism. Major Mc
Klnley was a young attorney at Canton.
Ho had never lieen thought of for public
ofllco and had no ambition for nny other
success thnn that of a lawyer. Ho wn a
friend of the minors on trial and ho was
emrnr'l to defend them. Publlo opinion
con 'i uir I the men without trial, but
Wi'.lS'u McKlnley took up their cause
with such earnestness and mado such a
defense that the majority of the men were
acquitted and those who were found
guilty escaped with very slight punish
ment. Old lawyers In Ohio who heard McKin
ley's defense of these men predicted a bril
liant future for him at tho bar, and the
mine owners who had the men arrested
felt that this young man was more dan
gerous to their Interests as the champion
of labor than waa the minors' organiza
tion that had brought about the strike.
The miners of that part of Ohio looked
upon MoKlnley as their champion, 'and
thafepeech made him the Republican can
didate for prosecuting attorney of Stark
county. Thore was a large Democratic
majority in the county, but McKlnloy's
dofonse of the miners broko down the op
position and gave him tho election by a
good majority.
As the publlo prosecutor McKlnley was
the friend of tho laboring men, not In pro
torso, but In tho honest and fearless judg
ment he used In refusing to allow his
ofllco to lie used to Intimidate mon In the
freo exorcise of their rights as citizens.
When ho became a candidate to con
gross the laboring men looked upon him
as their true friend and hundreds who had
voted the Democratic ticket helped elect
McKlnley to congress nnd for many years
helped him there In splto of tho Demo
cratic gerrymanders of his district.
McKlnley tiecumo the champion of pro
tection to American Industry, not liocuuse
he was a turllT cxort, but because hu was
Interested in tho cause of labor, and hu
represented a district which hud many In
dustries where wages wero dependent on
tho protection given thorn In our tarllT
laws. One of his first arguments In favor
of protection was that "tho right of labor
and of labor's best reward Is not only in

friend of the laboring mon. Whon the
Trades Labor union seut to Governor
McKluley au appeal for immediate relief
for the destitute miners In thu Hocking
Valley district the telegram reached him
at midnight. Hu did not wait until the
next day, but dispatched messenger to a
wholesalo grocer, a dealer In flour, another
In meat, a transfer company and tho
ofllcers of the Hocking Valley Hallroud
company. These gentleman came to his
rooms In the hotel after mldulght, and
the result was a special car loaded with
supplies started for the destitute miner
at 6 o'clock tho next morning. Oovernor
McKlnley paid for those supplies out of
his own private purso, nnd the next day
he presented the cause of the miners to
the legislature and to tho publlo In a
messngu and a proclamation to secure
more umplo relief for tho suffering miners.
