Why Gold Men Support McKinley.
The gold men who have flocked to the
support of William McKinley make no
attempt to explain why lie should re-1
ceive their votes in preference to Bryan.
Botli men stand upon platforms which i
declare for bimetallism. The only dif
ference which can be, detected is that
• he Republicans want to wait until an
international agreement with "other"
nations can be effected. They do not
-:iy how it can be accomplished, nor at
•\ hat ratio the two metals should be
placed, nor bow many or what foreign
nations should agree, nor what ought to
lie done if we fail to secure the promised
international agreement. They do
leclarc, however, that bimetallism is
iccessary and pledge themselves to pro
note it -when other nations consent.
Therefore, the gold men cannot con
-isteutly support McKinley on the
grounds that the platform he stands
ipon is more favorable to them than the
platform of the Democrats. If bimetal
ism would barm their interests they
diould light McKinley as strongly as
' hey light Bryan. Both platforms want
• he same thing, and if either was adopt
i by the country the ultimate end
would bo the same.
The Democrats give definite dates
ind unmistakable figures, but that is
t!I wherein they differ from the Repub
licans. They say that gold and silver
should both be coined in quantities
limited only by the amount available for
coinage, that both should be made legal
tender money, that sixteen times as
iiiifh silver should be placed in a silver
lollar than there is in a gold dollar, and
that this country should do this now.
There is not a particle of difference
loticeahle to the average reader, excopt
is noted above, and this difference will
llsappear if either should be followed to
ts logical end.
Why. then, should the men who are
nteivsted in maintaining monometal
ism, the single gold standard, declare
in reservedly and as one person for the
Republican candidate,? William Mc-
Kinley is as bitterly opposed to the gold
• tandard as William Bryan. The plat
form he stands upon says so, and not
ater than June 21. 1800, in the national
house of representatives, he used the
the following language, quoted as de
ivered by him, on page 0,4-17, volume
!1, of the Congressional Record: 44 1 am for
Hie largest use of silver in the currency
if the country. 1 would not dishonor
it; I would give it equal credit and
honor with gold. I would make no
liscrlniination. I would utilize both
uetals as money and discredit neither.
I want the double standard."
Why, then, do tho gold men, who do
lot want the double standard, declare
• hat to save the country we must elect
he man who in a prepared and doliber
ite address says "I want tho double
standard?" How can tho opponents of
uaking money of silver bring themselves
• support a man who wants to make it
Money, who would give it equal credit
md honor with gold, who would make
io discrimination, who would, in short,
make of silver everything which the
ipponents of silver say it should not be
made.
The stand taken by the gold people of
ihe country is certainly paradoxical,
nevertheless there must be a reason for
it. Bankers and brokers, and the in
i rests they represent, are never found
arrayed as a unit on the side of any
public question unless they have good
cause for taking that position.
What is it has caused them to rush to
McKinley when his platform and his
public utterances arc diametrically op
posed to gold supremacy? Is it not well
for every Republican bimetallist, and
ill who accept the Republican platform
as their political creed are as great bi
inetallists as William Bryan, is it not
well for them to try to ascertain why
their opponents side with Republican
ism in this campaign? When Republi
cans liii (l among their ranks every man
who opposes that which Republicans
and the party advocate, should not Re
publicans ask themselves why this Is so?
1- it. not well to remember the old adage
of "Greeks bearing gifts?"
It Is not to be assumed that William
McKinley lias given the gold men any
assurance or intimation that he will re
pudiate his platform, which declares for
bimetallism, or his previous record,
which is also very favorable to silver.
McKinley is scarcely the kind of man
who would do that. Still, the bankers
and the gold men iu this and every
other country want him elected, conse
quently there must be a reason some
where for such a state of affairs, and
the Republicans who are supporting him
because they think his election would
bring about bimetallism should know
that reason.
As stated before, the logical end of
putting both platforms into operation
would be precisely the same. America
would have free coinage of silver and
gold under either. There is no differ
ence between the Democratic and He
publican platforms so far as the end to
be attained is concerned. They are
alike on that point, but there is a differ
ence in the methods which each propose
to use to attain that desired end, and in
that difference can be found the key
which clears away the mystery of the
paradoxical stand taken by the bankers
and gold men in supporting a man and a
party which espouse silver's cause.
The very fact that the Republican
method includes the consent of foreign
nations, nations which are today in the
grasp of gold owners as fast as the
United States will be in ton or fifteen
years, was sufficient to bring to its sup
port every opponent of bimetallism in
the world. For nineteen years the
United States has endeavored to obtain
an international agreement, but it is not
nearer that goal today than it was nine
teen years ago, and it never will obtain
it from the nations of Europe whose
financial policies are dictated by gold
owners. Conferences after conferences
have been held in London to effect this
agreement, and the published reports of
the American conferees show that they
can never succeed in establishing inter
national bimetallism until the United
States takes the initiative, and force of
circumstances will compel other nations
to follow as a matter of self-protection,
just as they followed us in demonetizing
silver in 1873.
That is undoubtedly why the Republi
can candidate is supported by the men
who radically differ with him on the
currency question. He is committed to
the support of a method which nineteen
years of experience has proven to the
United States is not only improbable
but impossible to attain.
McKinley and Bryan aim at the same
mark. McKinley dare not shoot until
foreign nations give him permission,
and then lie must send a bullet through
a gold wall. Bryan levels his piece
directly at the target, and would hit the
centre of the bull's-eye. Which should
bo the choice of bankers and brokers of
the world and which* of the common peo
ple of the United States? Every man
of common sense will say "McKinley for
the banker and broker," "Bryan for the
common people of America.'' Ask your
self, reader, to which class your belong,
then vote accordingly.
The increase of Insonl*?.
Dr. Edwin A. Downe, of Conneticut, is
nn insanity expert who has come to the
with n paper in which he contends
that insanity i:> not on the hicrcusc. lie
says that the increase talked about is
only nil apparent one. It is due to the
present policy of committing the insane,
and evyn the partially insane, in many
eases, to the asylums. There was a time
when many of these were kept In the
poorheuse and even in private homes.
The activities of life to-day are such ns
to make the care of tin' insane impossi
ble, except in regular institutions. The
courts and the insane board*, have also
Increased the number of apparent in
sane by committing to asylums ninny
who are merely victims
of ulcohol and so on. Many who were
formerly periodically sent, to the jails
are now sent to the usylun.s for the in
sane treatment tliere. The points winch
the doctor makes, comments the lows'
State Register, are reassuring. They
are plausible and possible. We cannot
help believing that tlicy are good. 11
there has becu any increase, or any un
due increase, it could possibly l>e ac
counted for by the fact that we have an
undue proportion of undesirable immi
gration which lias caused many deficient
ones to be cust upon the charities of the
American people. All in uil the outlook
with regard to insanity is believed to be
not as bad as reported in the statistics
and speecheo of the alurmlsts.
The following soulful outburst ema
nates from an Athens (Ga.) Banner
poet, who may justly be called the ban
ner poet of the town: "The lark was up
to meet the sun, and carol for bis lay;
the farmer's son took clown liis gun and
at him blazed away. The busy bee arose
at Ave and buzzed the meadows o'er;
the farmer's wife went for lilp hive, and
robbed him of his store. The ant rose
early, his labors to begin; the greedy
swallows flew that way and took hit l
lordship In. Oh, bee, birds and ants, be
wise; In proverbs take no stock; like
me refuse to rise until half-past eight
o'clock." If the birds and "small deer'
would only take this tuneful Athenian'*
tip and adopt the modern idea of rising,
they would soon be üble to thicken up
more apprecithly at their annuul re
unions. #
A Scotch Highlander, dressed in kilti
and carrying a set of bagpipes under his
arm, appeared at liar Harbor the othei
night nud next morning at eight o'clock
strolled up Main street in search of r
good place to try the bags on the
natives. It is years since the uncanny
music o,f the canny Scot has beer
pluy&l there, and it had a wondorfu
effect, the first tune causing no less thai
five simultaneous runaways amonij
horses and the wrecking of twowagom
und sets of harnesses. The bagpipei
stopped in the middle of the tune to sec
the fun, and after saw the destrue
tion that one tune had wrought ho loj
the wind out of the pipes and took i
hasty departure for Bangor.
Summer shoos cheap at the Wear Well.
I'la in Facta Vermis Theory.
"No case—abuse the plaintiff's attor
ney,*' is the settled policy of some lawyers
when facts are altogether against them.
! The gold press of tho country seem al-
I most with one accord to have adopted
the same motto. You will have to plow
through a dozen columns of blood-curd
ling expletives against the silver men to
get half a dozen lines of anything that
will stand for argument, and the strength
of the expletives is in inverse ratio to
the strength of the argument. In pursu
ing this line, the single standard advo
cates are doubtless acting wisely from
their point of view, but they are- paying
a very poor tribute to the intelligence of
the newspaper readers of the country.
The most cursory glance at the atti
tude of the two money parties Is sufficient
to show that while the silver men in their
appeal to the people bring forward rea
sons, whether good, bad or indifferent,
to prove their case, the goldites, on the
other hand, deal almost exclusively hi ad
jectives to prove theirs. The moral of
this is not hard to see.
Still, there are a few honorable excep
tions among the latter, and the Boston
Herald is one of them. This is how the
Ilcrald appeals to one of tho most intel
lectual newspaper constituencies in the
world:
"Any merchant who had a stock of
merchandise that is selling now at prac
tically the same price here that it is in
England or Canada, with the exception
of tho cost of transportation, would be
a fool if he continued—under a free coin
age of silver—to sell his goods with no
change of price in this country, when by
sending them to England, he could get
gold for them, and could with the gold
buy silver bullion enough to make, by
coining it in the United States, double
the number of dollars.*'
What eotild be more simple or delight
ful? Get gold for your goods in England
and then go off to a British dealer in sil
ver bullion, buy 100 cents worth of white
metal for 50 cents, ship it back to tho
United States and have it straightway
coined into an American dollar. That
would indued be making the busines of
buying silver bullion a prolitablo pas
time, if things wont just as our contem
porary says they would. But wait?
The learned economist in the Herald
does not explain why tin: British bullion
dealer should sell to you for 50 cents
what he can himself get 100 cents for in
America, and we can account for the
statement only on the ground that either
the British bullion dealer or the Herald
economist is singularly green.
Why will people shut their eyes to
facts of history? When silver was coin
ed at the ratio of 10 to 1 in tin: United
States previous to 1873 silver bullion
was sold at the same price in all civiliz
ed countries of tho world, whether they
had free, coinage or not.
Jt should be further remembered by
those who lack confidence in the ability
of our country to maintain the parity of
the two metals tiiat today there is less
known silver in the world, in proportion
to gold, than existed at tho time that
the United States coined both metals
and called both money. The price set
by our government twenty-three years
ago was accepted by all the world as
the actual intrinsic value of the white
metal, just as the world accepts the
price we place on gold today, and the
publishers of the, Tiudfxk arc patriotic
enough to believe that what could be
done before 1873, with a greater propoi
tionate amount of silver against the
known gold of the world, can be done in
1806.
For eighty-one years, from 1702 to 1873,
wo had bimetallism in America, and in
all that time no man over saw or heard
tell of an American fifty-cent dollar.
i'he silver coin which our government
called a dollar was a dollar in every
sense of the word, and was accepted as
such at home and abroad as worth 100
cents in gold or anything else, for the
simple reason that the amount of bullion
contained in the coin could not lie pur
chased in the open silver market for a
fraction less than a dollar in gold, and
at times it could not be had at that
price.
Those are plain historical facts, and
should count more in assisting tho com
mon people of our country in forming
their opinion than any amount of theo
retical shrieking which gold advocates
indulge in; and, after a proper investi
gation of tin: subject, the honest voters
of the country, whose opinions are not
warped byporsonal interests,should agree
that if free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 will
stop the government from bonding this
country tothovergeof bankruptcy, it will
be worth a fair trial. If it does nothing
else but that, let that bo accomplished,
and future generations will thank tho
tho voters of 18UG for their wisdom, pa
triotism and ability in wresting from the
gold owners of the world tho tremend
ous power that they possess over this
fair land and preventing them from
over again obtaining the hold upon the
nation they now have.

The astonishing progress of electrical
science is neatly satirized by a Parisian
paper, which imagines Mr..Edison in
I lis laboratory hearing the news of a
declaration of war between Great Brit
ain and the United States. A young
man, his assistant-, rushes in, pale and
out of breath, and exclaims to the great
electrician:
"Oh, master, war is declared! It iu
terrible!"
"Ah!" says the master. "War de
clared, eh? And where is the British
army at this moment?"
"Embarking, sir."
"Embarking where?"
"At Liverpool."
"At Liverpool—yes. Now, my friend
would you please join the ends of those
two wires hanging there against the
wall ? That's right. Now bring them to
me. Good! And be kind enough to
press that button."
The assistant, wondering and half
amused, presses the button.
"Very well," says the inventor.
"Now, do you know what is taking place
at Liverpool?"
"The British army is embarking, sir."
The inventor pulls out his watch and
glances at the time.
"There is no British army," he says,
coolly.
"What?" screams the assistant.
"When you touched that button you
destroyed it."
"Oh, this is frightful!"
"It is not frightful at all. It it
science. Now, every time a British ex
pedition embarks at any port please
conic and tell me at once. Ten seconds
afterward it will simply be out of ex
istence; that's all."
"There doesn't seem to be any rea
son why America should be afraid of
lier enemies after this, sir."
"I am inclined to believb you," says
the master, smiling slightly. "But "in
order to avert future trouble I think
it would be best to destroy England al
together."
"To—to destroy England, sir—"
"Kindly touch button No. 4, there."
The assistant touches it. The in
ventor counts ten.
" 1 eight, nine, ten—it's all over. 1
There is no more England."
"Now we can go quietly on with our !

SUMMER BEDCLOTHES.

The bcdclothing of summer Is too
lightly considered by housekeepers. In
stead of in ilizing one of the heavier
blankets of winter for summer use, it
! far better to use the lighter and less
expensive blankets manufactured for
t.his pufpost. The emanations from
sleep in summer arc much more objec
tionable than in winter, and summer
blankets should be frequently washed,
as well ns summer sheets. There is no
hardship in washing a light cotton and
wool blanket, such as ifre properly
chosen for summer. The heavy all-wool
winter blankets require the services of
a professional scourer, or some one who
is an expert in washing them. In July
a- single summer blanket, with sheets
and a light cotton coverlet, are suffi- \
cient bedding for the majority of jx\o- j
pie. There should be a pair of light j
blankets in addition always in reach in |
ease of a sudden change in the weather. !j
In August, when the nights begin to lie
chilly, and in September two blankets I
are usually necessary, with a second
one in reach.
The folly of using heavy Marseilles in
these days ijeed not be dwelt on. The
summer counterpane should be of such I
light texture that it can be easily
xvaalicd. It may be made of white or
cream Bolton sheeting or it may be a
coverlet of light Marseilles or dimity,
or any of the simple materials used for
this purpose. Lace counterpanes over
silk are, happily, out of fashion, and
uere never suitable for a summer lied. !
The pure white bed looks so pretty and
cool in summer that there is little like
lihood of its being abandoned for any
thing else. The coverlets and bolsters
and bedtosters of wash silk, in conven
tionalized lloral patterns, on white
grounds, arc exceedingly pretty, but
only suitable for guest rooms that- dre
rarely used. It is better to dispense
with all bed canopies for summer. The
tester is excusable ns a protection
against draughts in winter and fort-he
stately touch of dignity and grace it
gives to the bed fittings. Bed quilts and
comfortables are not suitable for sum
mer, because they cannot be readily
washed.—N. Y. Tribune.

brown hrc;i<jigpi attested as excellent:
Three half-pint cupfuls of Indian corn-,
meal, same of rye meal, one-half or two
thirds cupful of molasses (according to
taste), sour milk enough to mix (it will
depend somewhat upon the kind of
meal and the consistency of the milk).
It will he bettor if the mi!!; is solid
"bonnyclabber," and will probably take
about two cupfuls, half a teaspoonful of
sal era tus stirred in the milk and a little
salt. Steam four hours, taking care not
to let the water stop boiling. Set in the
oven to form a top crust, if liked. Use
no sweet milk.—N. Y. Tribune.
Tall Lying;.
"I once knew n intra," said the im
aginative boarder, "who was so fat that
he was actually taller lying down than
when he was standing up. What do you
think of that?"
"It strikes nic," said the cheerful
idiot, "as pretty tall lying."—lndian

Castoria.
"Castoria is an excellent medicine for cliil
| dren. Mothers have repeatedly told mo of its
J good effect upon their children."
Da. G. C. OSOOOD,
Lowell, Mass.
11 Castoria is the best remedy for children of
| which lam acquainted. I hope the day is not
j far distant when mothers will consider the real
interest of their children, and uso Castoria in
stead of the various quack nostrums which are
destroying their loved ones, by forcing opium,
morphine, soothing syrup and other hurtful
agents down their throats, thereby sending
them to premature graves."
