THE TWO RULES- THE GOLDEN RULE. HcKinley'b Motto : "Do unto others aa you would they should do nnto you." SILVER RULE. Bryan's Doctrine: " Do others before they get a chance to do you." AS TO FREE COINAGE. When the silver orators declaim on the question, they do not cite our experiences and those of the whole world. They are content with the shallow predictions that because money will be plenty it will be eas ier to get and therefore being easily procured it will be more freely spent, and this will cause a rise in all oommodoties. They also as sume that if there is free coinage of silver at the rate of IS to 1 the par ity between silver and gold may be maintained and that both will con tinue in circulation. The Act of Congress of 1792 provided that sil ver and gold should be coined at the rate of 15 to 1, and under this pro portion gold disappeared from cir culation because the amount of sil ver in the dollar was worth less than the gold in the gold dollar. And from that time down to 1837 when the ratio was changed sil ver was the only metallic circulat ing medium. The act - of 1837 changed the ratio from 15 to 1 to IS to 1 and silver disappeared, and gold became the sole metallic circulating medium, the reason for which was because the gold in a gold dollar was worth less than the silver in a silver dollar. With this experience bow can it be argued that it is pos sible to maintain the circulation of the two metals with a ratio of 18 to 1 now? There should be no difficulty in comprehending this proposition. The difference between the value of silver and gold when the act of 1792 was passed was this: Silver was worth 15 as compared with one of gold ; the coinage ratio was 15 to 1, and this differenoe, silver being worth the least, caused gold to go out of circulation. Iu 1837 the ratio was made by law 16 to 1 which caused silver, it becoming the more valuable by this coinage ratio, to diaappoar and the gold took its place. The aliove are facts which cannot be gainsaid and how can any intelli gent man assume that when the .ratio of actual value at the present is about 30 of silver to 1 of gold they oould both be kept in circulation when there is free coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1? The " demonetization of silver, or the crime of 1873," as it is called, was simply this : Bilver having gone out of circulation, in the re vision of the mint laws the dollar was dropped from the list of coins because its coinage was of no use. Since 1837 when the ratio as above stated of 16 to 1 was adopted, silver coins went into the molting pot, or abroad because they were worth more as bullion than as money. To keep silver change in this country the weight of the half-dollar, qunr. ter and dimes was reduced so that it was no longer profitable to export or melt them. So in 1873 the uncur rent useless dollar worth as bullion 11.03 was dropped from the list of coins. No one objected or raised one word of dissent, yet now it is called a crime. FREE SILVER. Having received numerous in quiries as to the moaning of "free sil ver coinage, sixteen tolrae," we publish the following explanation of the subject : It means in practice that sixteen ounces of silver should be held as worth as much as one ounce of gold. One ounce of gold, American ooin standard of fineness that is, nine hundred parts of pure gold to one hundred of alloy, will coin in gold dollars 118.60. Sixteen ounoes of silver, American coin standard of fineness that is.nine hundred parts of pure silver to one hundred of al loy, at the rate of 412 grains to the dollar (the weight of the present standard silver 'dollar) will ooin 118.60 in silver dollars. These six teen ounces of silver can be bought in the markets of the world to-day for 19.94. There would, therefore, be a profit of $8.66 on an invest, ment of $9.94, being about 87 per cent., if a holder of silver could take it to the mint and coin into silver dollars. The advocates of free coin age favor a law that will allow any holder of silver bullion or, in fact, silver of any kind (as the latter can readily be melted into bars) to have the right to take the same to any mint of the United States and con vert it into silver coin free of charge. SHALL PROTECTION BE ABAN DONED? The treasury deficiency for July, the first month of the new fiscal year, was thirteen million dollars, and so far in August it has averaged a million dollars a day. There is a reason for this and it is free trade as embodied in the Wilson tariff law. This will oontinue as long as this law remains in force. It is idle to say that Protection must be re legated to the rear in this campaign. It shonld be brought conspicuously to the front. The object lesson has taught the people the need of it. There can be no question but that the Government should have a rev enue sufficient for its expenses. The deficiency shows just what the American wage-earners are losing. This money should and would go into their pockets if they had proper protection against the cheap labor of Europe. This state of affairs must not oontinue. McKinley and a Congress which will wipe out the Wilson bill and pass a law in the interest of Ameri can industries and workmen must be elected and the people will see to it that they are. WAS FRIES SILVER 1ST. The free and unlimited coinage of silver means that the owners of sil ver bullion shall be permitted to bring their silver to the mint and have it coined for them without charge at a ratio which would make every 871 grains of pure silver $1.00, though in the market that much silver sells for 53 cents and at that price brings a good profit to the mine owners. Mr. McKinley is speaking to the old soldiers at Canton, Ohio, last week said : " I DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT IT, BUT I BELIEVE THAT IT IS A GOOD DEAL BETTER TO OPEN UP THE mills of the United States to the labor of America people than to open up the mints of the United States to the silver of the world." Can that sentiment be improved by any amount of talk, on cheap money as a panacea for business ills If there is no work there will be no wages no matter how plenty money becomes. The Newark Sunday Call commen ting on "Mr. Bryana failure" soys The explanations of his policy are vague and his replies to arguments ounously without fact or reason. Mexico is a silver nation, and its currency's condition admittedly bad but this oountry is rich enough to bear the struin which is breaking Mexico but why this oountry should spend its wealth in behalf of silver mine owners is not explained. Comixare the address in detail with that of Hpeaker Reed and it seems almost incoherent. There is little loic, and the habit of apieal instead of argument clings, in spite of the evident intention to abandon the methods of discussion with which he has been familiar. The whole address is the product of an inferior intelloct, and confirms the first im pression that the party nomination of a mere talker was the seal of folly set npon the Chicago convention's dosortlon of Democracy. j Every whore about Canada, in the street cars, the stores, the hotels, railway stations, restaurants and saloon'? printed cards bearing this announcement have recently ap peared : t NOTICE- "No American silver will be taken here after the 81 of July." or this "To the Public : Notloe is hereby given that on and after August first United States silver coins will not be accepted in trade at this place." At some of the banks American sil ver can bo sold at a discount of 10 or 12 per cent but most of them will not take it except from regular de positors. What it will be if the silver fellows have it their own way, depends on the amount of silver in the world. Democracy mode promises to the people in 1892, which it failed to keep. The tariff reform has become a stumbling block and by word. Can it be trusted to do better with the silver question, reinforced aa it is with Populists and Anarchists va garies? Chairman Hannaiswell satisfied and thinks the Western prospects encouraging for McKinley. He is more than delighted with the cam paign work done, and about Sept. 1 he will open up all along the line with speakers and from that time on make an agressive fight. Bryan is a man to move audiences, if the way his hearers tumbled out of the garden the night of his noti. flcation, is any indication of bis powers. ( If Bryans predictions are its far off, as are his statements of alleged facts, the proper place for him Is in the weather bureau. Since the primary election the Democrats are claiming that the party is this county is stronger than ever. Judging from the number of good people here now using smell ing salts we are not inclined to Bay nay. Bryan's Speeoh a Dismal Failure. The speeches of Mr. Bryan on his trip East were poor stuff, and, com pared with the addresses made un der similar circumstances by any of the men the oountry has learned to consider great, snowed melancholy flatness. There are several young lawyers in Newark who would bo quite as effective, and, if married, they would be a trine more reserved in their display of matrimonial feli city. The question which has been in the minds of all was it possible that, in spite of his training and tendency to loose talk, the man was a genius such as America has so of ten seen springing from the most unfertile soil? Granting him every excuse, and forgiving violation of taste whioh would be unpardonable in men who have seen more of the real world, it is impossible not to realize that the candidate who was nominated for a hyperbolic speech is composed of the thinnest material that has yet assumed to be all wool. The exultation over the curious crowds at the railroad stations, the cheap demagoguery of taking an or dinary passenger sleeper, the shout ing himself into laryngitis on the steps of a oar, hoisting his wife for exhibition to the multitude on plat form cars and talking, talking, talk ing, with rarely a trace of thought, all showed the failure of the man under a test,and answered the ques tion that was on the tip of every tongue. The toy balloon has been pricked. Newark Sunday Call. The Pedigree of a Campaign Oaa The oratorical flourish of the crown of thorns and cross of gold is not, after all, a sample of Boy Bryan's free coinage of figures of speech : at least, not in all its luxuri ance. Representative McCall, of Mass., in a speech In the House. Jan. 26, 1894, in opposition to the Wilson tariff bill, said : Do you regard your bill with re ference to labor? Ready as you have ever been to betray it with a lias, you scourge it to the very quick and press a crown of thorns npon its brow. Nearly eleven months later. Dec. 22d, 1894, in a debate on currency and banking, the Boy Orator took tnis passage, ana with some mutila tion and addition, omitting the apt reference to the betrayal and the scourging, and adding a clumsy al lusion to the cross, delivered it as iouows : I will not help to cruotfy ' man. kind upon a. cross of gold. I will not aid them to press down npon the bleeding brow of labor the crown of thorns. In his speech at the Chicago con. vention, he worked it off in the fol lowing form : We shall answer their demands for a gold standard by saying to them : You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns. You shall not crucify man kind upon a cross of gold. And now the Boy Orator, detected in literary theft, and in duplicating ills alterations of the stolen goody. pleads guilty ; and in the revised form of his convention speech pre sents the passage in quotation murks. About Income Tax. Editor of the Press : The Inst is sue of the Dispatch contains an ar ticle from the young gen tinman, who is, for the time being, holding down tne editorial chair of the Populist organ of Pike county. The subject of this essay is the " Income Tax," and is handlod in the true Bryanese style, with the specious reasoning, and absurd misstatements, which mark the demngogno, as he appeals to the prejudice of the poor against tne rich, to gain their supiiort to measures which are far more injuri ous to the poor, then the rich. He pretends to think the charge of "Anarchy and Socialism " against his fellow-Populists, is based nnon their demand for an " income tax." If he is fit for the position which he is understood to hold, in another place, and knows the moaning of the words, he fully understands that these two epithet apply to the folks he is training with.becanse they are the declared enemies of the legal re straints which hold society to gether, as well as the malignant foes of all who have, by peaceful indus try and thrift, laid by a, little pro perty "for a rainy day. 'jf But to re turn to the " Income Tax." Like the demagogue whom he is support ing for high office, he sneers at peo ple who object to this tax, as being unwilling to help to Support the government, ' 'which protect them . ' Now, there is hardly a boy in the Milford graded school who doesn't Know that it is not the "general irov- ernment," but the State, which pro tects us in the peaceable enjoyment of our personal liberty, and our pri vate property. To the State we owe the laws which secure to us our rights as citizens, and the courts which enforce these laws. And we cheerfully pay in proportion to our means, the taxes levied npon our possessions, both real and personal, to defray the expenses of our State government. But these people.who have nothing, want those who have saved something, to pay twice, first npon their property, and then upon the income derived from the same property 1 Again he says " it is the government that protect the great raiiroaa corporations, etc. in their property rights," meaning the Fed eral government. Yes,-it is ! When it is found that the authorities of the State are too weak to defend snob. great properties against the mobs led by Anarchists and Socialists, like Altgeld and Tillman and Debs, (the present allies of our sucking states men) then the President of the United States is called on to aid the State officials, and it is precisely for this clear discharge of duty, that the present Executive is now roundly abused and denounced in the Popu list platform adopted at Chicago, in the face of the energetio protest of the better element of the Democra tic party. The idiotio position of the Dispatch is to denounce the Fed eral government for doing its sworn duty, and then abuse the tax-payers who object to paying taxes a second time for the above service I Hear him again. ' " The Government raises its money through!, taxes on imported goods, and on doraestio liquors and tobacco, and the tax comes, in the end, out of the con sumer. Just so. And then he turns back to his- parrot cry, as though oblivious of what he has just uttered, and whines, "it is un fair that the poor man should pay for the protection of the rich man's property." How, in the name of all the Gods at once, can the "poor man" do that unless he buys f'more" "imported goods," and uses "more" domestio liquors and tobacco, than the "rich man 7 " And this is tne sort Of drivel whioh the Democracy of Pike county are invited to aooept in lieu of the precepts of Jefferson, Madison and Jackson 1 God help them I Lex Regit. - Mutchler Clivers raulkaer. Chairman Faulkner, of the Demo cratic Congressional OVtaajtfcvv is in receipt -Of 1etttnr& tiua various parts of Pennsylvania, showing that the free silver sentiment is growing there. "Ex-Congressman Mutchler of the Eighth district, tells me that we will make very large gains in our representation in Congress from his state," said the Chairman. "In the Eighth district Mr. Hart was elected two years ago by a majority, as I re collect the figures of 196. We will carry the same, district now by a majority variously estimated at from 2000 to 4000. This indicates the wonderful change that has come over the State, and is due entirely to the agitation of the subject of free coinage. The Democratic represent tation in Congress from this State will surprise the Republicans. We have made a very careful canvas of the situation, but do not propose at this early day to indicate what our expectations are. This is wise. No one wishes to be considered a lunatio and a prophecy based on the above would indicate political dementia. Trrlne; to Delnde th Farmer. Detroit Free Press, (Dera.) The chief hope of the free silver men is in the American farmers and it is not flattering to the class. It is based on the assumption that they can be deluded into the notion of being helped by a nominal raising of prices, which comes from debasing currency on which all our business has been done since the return to specie payments in 1873.

Vote For Free Coinage end- Von Vote to Cot Tonr Policies In Two- Ton Have Pot In 100 Cent Doll ere end Shonld Get Reek the Same Kind. Colonel Greene, president of the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance company, has addressed a letter to the 150,000 policy holders of the company, in which he Hays : We never supposed it necessary to provide that yon should pay your pre miums or that we should promise to pay your policies in any particular kind or quantity of dollars; both with the exception of certain Canadian Insur ances mode daring the civil war and while gold wna premium are pay able in "lawt inoncy" only on the confident assnriiption that the American people are sufficiently honest to keep its dollars meaning what they were meant to mean and always had meant. But now comes a political party and avows its distinct purpose to make a dollar mean three distinct and widely different things: (1) A gold dollar, worth as bullion 100 cents anywhere in the world (3) a silver dollar, worth as bullion only 62 cents at the present timet (8) all the paper promises of dol lars to be hereafter issued by the gov trnmont only, redeemable in either 100 cent gold dollars. 6a cent (or less) silver dollars, or in new promises to pay, at the option of f be debtor or redeemer. You do not need to be told that only the least valuable of these dollars would re main in use. The invariable experience of all tne ages fixes that fact before hand. Should this party so led oome to pow er npon this platform, the government dnes, instead of being paid, as now, in gold at 100 cento, or in paper, whioh it now redeems with such gold and never with silver, would be paid in silver or in paper redeemed in silver, which sil ver we oould use in trade at only its bullion value of 63 cents on the dollar. The greenbacks being then redeemed in 69 cent dollars, the government bonds and their interest being paid in 63 cent dollars, our national bank currency, which rests on government bonds, re deemable in 63 cent greenbacks and the gold gone from dornoBtio circulation in to International trade, we shall be on the single 69 cent silver dollar basis. One hundred cent gold dollars do not swap even for 63 cent dollars ef silver, iron or copper. Fifty-two rents' worth of anything can never buy more than 63 cents' worth of anything else. Then the purchasing power of yonr policies will be cut in two. Coming npon a silver basis would in tensely stimulate again the production of silver. The ores are now easily acces sible, in inexhaustible quantity, from whioh silver can be put npon the mar ket at a profit of 40 to 60 cents an ounce, at which price a "silver dollar" would be worth 80 to 88 cents, or less than a greenback was during the dark est days of 1S64. Under that stimulus and under such conditions there can be AO possible doubt that the (trice of silver would steadily decline on the average toward the point at which it can be pro duced, which in soino mines is said to be already less than 96 oents an ounce, and inventions and improvement have not ceased. Should we oome npon a sil ver basis your policies would for the present be paid in "dollars" worth to your families only about 60 oents ; and the great bulk of thorn would probably be paid in "dollars" worth not more than from 95 to 86 cents. It is therefore our duty to warn yon that by so much as it was your duty to make this provision 'for the protection of your families, by so much is it your present duty to see, so far as your action can prevent it, that no part of that pro vision is lost to them by being paid in "dollars" which are worth anything less than the 100 oents in which you have been paying your premiums and in whioh, therefore, yon and we sup posed yon were making that provision, trusting to the personal and political integrity of the American people to keep their honor bright and their money good. We have never supposed and do not yet suppose that the money stand ard of this great oountry, producing for and trading with all the countries of the earth, is at the mercy of a lot of people who have a lot of cheapening metal to sell to us to use for a new standard and who have long been oare- fully and at great expense organising their soheme politically by bringing Into one camp all the discontent, the jeal ousy ,envy, and hatred which the unwise, an thrifty, Improvident, idle and self In dulgent are supposed to harbor toward the self restrained, industrious, careful, saving, thrifty and wisely provident Tales Hopes Foe let.

The ideal condition would be one wherein all de sirable things were produced without any oast at all. Every advance toward that condition that is to say, every cheapening of the necessaries of life U a great guin fur everybody. On the other baud, every increase in the price of the iieoeasaries of life is a direct and griev out hurt to the people. Measured in the cheap money of the war period, wages advanoed a little and prices a great dual. Cheap silver dollars would affect labor now in exactly the tuns way. The working classes always suffer most from a debased currency MONEY AND THE CREDITOR CLASS. When the Meaenre or Vnlne Verles, the Laborer Gets the Wont of It. Probably no question that has ever been mnde a political issue appeals more strongly to our selfishness thnn the mon ey question. The value of all the prop erty we possess is expressed in the terms of money, and not our property only but our labor. A hmo, a cow, a corner lot, a share r.f stock, a bond or a note are all meas ured as to their transferable value by money. They are wort h so much. So of our labor, whether in the professions, the skillful trades or in more manual employments. We are worth so much an hour or a day or a week by the serv ices we are able to render, and we are paid accordingly. The result is, if we aro not fools, thnt we want the best money that circulates in exchange for our services or our property, and the less our income the more we want the best The contention, therefore, seems un answerable that a government or a com munity should establish the highest standard of money whereby to measure those exchanges of labor and property which constitute the business of the world. If this is not done, and the meas ure of value becomes variable, who suf fers? The men who have large resources behind them or the men who have noth ing but their hands and brains? Most awn redly the latter. ,A well knows banker of this town has often been heard to Bay that the money standard did not and oould not affect him, for he oould make money whether we were on a gold or silver basis. So be oould, and so can any capitalist It is the man who de pends upon his labor that would suffer by a depreciated currency. It is the creditor class of the com munity, therefore, which is most inter ested in preserving the stability of the currency and its high value. But of whom is the creditor class oomposed? Manifestly of those to whom something is due from day to day, from week to week and from month to month. These are the laboring people, the men at the desk, at the counter, at the forge, at the bench and at the plow. The toiler who patiently wields the shovel and the pick when nightfall oomes is a cred itor, and he is entitled to be paid for his day's labor in the best money the Country affords. And so throughout the whole round of employment where men and women receive wages. Is it not then, inexplicable that a large proportion of those who in the sweat of their face earn their daily bread, laying by perhaps a trifle from week to week toward a rainy day, de positing it in a savings bonk that these should be led away by the cry for cheap money? What do they want with cheap money, or "poor man's" money? If there is any difference, why should they not have rich men's money? Chi cago Times-Herald. The Free SIItw Bandits.

A lump of silver of a certain size. 87 i grains in weight, is today worth 68 cents. The Bryan proposition is that the government shall stamp it a dollar. That would be flat money making of the same sort as the government's set ting its printing presses to work and turning out without limit dollars of pa per. It is fiat dishonesty. It is pregnant with trouble for every man, laborer or capitalist who lives by industry, and it would leave to the United States the hurt of lasting mistrust in the mind of every industrial Investor and leader, American or foreign.

In JSTST The advocates of the cheap Bilver standard pretend that the white metal -Is "patriotio," while gold is disloyal. One-half of the arguments for 60 cent dollars consists of appeals to patriotism for votes in favor of the "American money" and against the "traitor gold" of England. .- In the happy days before 1878 the bullion value of the metal in a silver dollar was worth on an average about $1.08. Did the noble hearted, patriotio silver miners rush to pour their products into oar mints, so that the eountry woold have plenty of money?
