Major McKlnley'e letter of aonoptnrioe
Is as sound as a gold dollar. Tbe fol
lowing are Home of bis bent points:
WbBt free Coinage MmhIi
Tbe character of tbe money which
shall measure our values and exchanges
and aetMe onr balances with one another
and with the tint ions of the world is of
iroch primary importance and so fur
reafhlng in its consequences as to call
for the most painstaking investigation,
and in the end a sobnr and unprejudiced
judgment at the polls. We must not be
minted by phrases nor deluded by false
theories. Froo silver would not moan
that silver dollars were to bo freely had
without cost or labor. It would mean
the free use of the mints of the United
States for the few who are owners of
silver bullion, but would make silver
coin no freer to the many who are en
gaged in other enterprise
It would not make labor easier, the
hours of labor shorter or the pay better.
It would not make farming less labori
ous or more profitable. It would not
start a factory or make a demand for an
additional day's labor. It would create
no new occupations. It would add
. nothing to the comfort of the masses,
the capital of the people or the wealth
of tbe nation. It seeks to introduce a
new measure of value, but would add
no value to the thing measured. It
would not conserve values. On the con
trary, it would derange all existing val
ues. It would not restore business con
fidence, but its direct effect would be to
destroy the little which yet remains.
The meaning of the coinage plan
adopted at Chicago is that any one may
take a quantity of silver bullion, now
worth 63 oents, to the mints of the
United States, have it coined at the ex
pense of the government aud receive for
it a silver dollar which shall be legal
tendor for the payment of all debts, pub
llo and private. The owner of the silver
l bullion would get the silver dollar. It
would belong to him and nobody else.
Other people would get it only by their
labor, the products of their lund or
something of value. Tbe bullion owner,
on the basis of present values, would re
ceive the silver dollar for 58 cents'
worth of silver, and other people would
be required to receive it as a full dollar
in the payment of debte. The govern
ment would get nothing from the trans
action. It would bear the expense of
coining the silver, and the community
would suffer loss by its usa
Silver Dollars Now on a Gold Boats,
We have coined since 1876 more
than 400,000,000 of silver dollars,
which are maintained by the govern
ment at parity with gold and are full
legal tender for the payment of all
debts, publio and private. How are the
silver dollars now in use different from
those which would bo In use under free
ooinago! They are to be of the same
weight and flnoness, They are to bear
s the same Btamp of the government
VWhy would they not be. of the aame
value? 1 answer : The silver dollars now
in use were coined on account of the
government, and not for private account
or gain, and the government baa sol
emnly agreed to keep thorn as good as
the best dollars wo hava The govern
ment bought the silver bullion at its
market value and coined it into silver
dollars. Having exclusive control of the
mintage, it only coins what it can hold
at a parity with gold. The profit, rep
resenting the difference between the
commercial value, of the silver bullion
and the face value of the silver dollar,
goes to the government for the benefit
of the poopla
Vtnun and Laborers Would Batter Moat.
If there is any one thing which should
be free from speculation and fluctuation,
It is the money of a country. It ought
never to be the subject of mere partisan
contention. When we part with our la
bor, our products or our property, we
should receive in return money which
is as stable and unchanging in value as
the togeunity of honest men can make
it Debasement of the ourroncy means
, destruction of values. No one suffers so
much from cheap money as the farmers
and laborers. They are the first to feel
its bad effects and the last to recover
from them. This has been the uniform
experience of all countries, and here as
elsewhere. The poor, and not the rioh,
re always the greatest sufferers from
every attempt to debase our money. It
would fall with alarming severity upon
Investments already mode, upon Insur
ance companies and their policy holders,
upon savings banks and their depositors,
upon building 1 and loan association
members, upon the savings of thrift
,' upon pensioners and their families, and
- cpon wage earners and the purchasing
power of their wages.
Good Money Never Mada Ttuaes Hard.
It is a mere pretense to attribute the
bard times to the fact that all our cur
rency is on a gold basis. Good monoy
never made times hard. Those who as
sort that our present industrial and
finanoiul depression is the result of the
gold standard have not read American
history aright or been oareful students
of the events of reoent years. We never
had greater psos purity in this oountry,
in every field of employment and indus
try, than in tbe busy years from 1880
to 1892, during all of which time this
oountry was on a gold basis and em
ployed more gold money in its fiscal and
business operations than ever before.
Thrift's Bavlncs Would Shrink.
The savings bank deposits of the
United States amount to i 1.800, 000,000
on a gold basis.
Under free coinage they would shrink
in aotuul value to about $900,000,000.
If this oountry is big enough to ""get
along" with a 60 cent dollar, it is big
enough to gut along twine as well with
a real dollar.
Honesty ILeads to rroaperlty.
No oountry can prosper that habitually
tolls lit. If the United States stamps
the lie "This is $1" on pieoee of silver
worth 68 oents, it will have taken the
first step away from the straight path
ttf uatiuntil truth and honor.

BsTsJf To WoRMNaiuif: "Now, hold still, and I'll ont your dollar is
two without hurting yon a bit "
BOURKE COCKRAN 6N BRYAN.
TKe Btoqnent Ks-Conffresamaa Exposes ttaa
Free Silver Praod on Working
In his great speech in Madison Square
Garden, New York oity, ex-Congressman
Bonrke Oochran said in reply to
Presidential Candidate Bryan :
If everything in this world or in this
country, including labor, be increased
in value tomorrow in like proportion,
not one of us would be affeoted at all.
If that was Mr. Bryan's scheme, he
would never have a Populist nomination
to give him importance in the eyes of
this community. If that were all that
he meant he would not be supporting
it, and I would not be taking the trou
ble to oppose it If everything in the
world be increased 10 percent in value,
why, we would pay ft) per cent in addi
tion for what we would bny and get 10
per cent more for what we would soil.
What, then, is it? It is an Increase in
the price of commodities and allowing
labor to shift for itself. If the price of
commodities be increased and the price
if labor be loft stationary that means a
cutting down of the rate of wages.
If, instead of a dollar which consists of
a given quantity nf gold equal to a hun
dred oents anywhere in the world, with
the purchasing power of a hundred
cents, the laborer is to be paid in dol
lars worth 60 oents each, he can only
buy half as much with a day's wages as
he buys now. If the valne of this Popu
list scheme, then, is to be tested, let the
laboring men of this country ask Mr.
Bryan and his Populist friends a simple,
common, everyday qnestion, "Where
do I come in? '
Mr. Bryan himself has a glimmering
Idea of where the laborer will oome in.
or, rather, of whore he will go out
There is one paragraph in his speech
whioh whether it was the result of an
unconscious stumbling into candor or
whether it was a contribution made in
the stress of logical disoussion I am ut
terly unable to say that throws a flood
of light upon the whole purpose underly
ing this PopuliBt agitation. Wage earn
ers, Mr. Bryan says, know that while a
gold standard raisos the purohasing
power of the dollar it also makes it
more diffloult to obtain possession of the
dollar. They know that employment is
less permanent, loss of work more prob
able and re-employment loss certain.
If that means anything, it meaus
that cheap dollar would gtve him
mora employment, more frequent em
ployment, more work and a chanoe to
got re employment after he was dis
charged. If that means anything in the
world to a sane man, it means that if
the laborer is willing to have his wages
out down he will get more work. . -
If it were true that a reduction in the
rate of wages would incroaso the chanoe
of employment, I would not blame Mr.
Bryan for telling the truth, because,
however unpalatable the truth may be,
I conceive it the duty of any man who
attempts to address his fellow oitrkens
never to shrink from a statement of the
whole truth, whatever may be the oon
sequences to himself. But, as a matter
of foot, a diminution in the rate of wages
doea not increase the aoope of employ
ment ' There cannot be an abundant produot
nnleas labor is extensively employed.
You cannot have high wages unless
there is an extensive production in ev
ery department of Industry, and that is
why I claim that wages are the one
sole tust of a oountry's oondition that
high wagr mean abundant protection,
and abundanoe necessarily means pros
perity. Mr. Bryan, on tbe other hand,
would have you believe that prosperity
is advanced by cheapening the rate of
wages, but the fall in the rate of wages
always onmoa from a narrow produc
tion, and narrow production means
there is little demand for labor in the
market When, after the panto of 1878,
the prloe of labor full to 60 oents a day,
it was harder to obtain work than when
the rate of labor was , and the differ
ence between the Populist, who seeks
to cut down the rate of wages, aud tbe
Democrat, who seeks to protect it, is
that the Democrat believes that high
wages and prosperity are synonymous,
and the Populist wants to out the rate
of wages in order that he may tempt
the farmer to make war upon his own
workimnnen. ,
now do you find buaiuesu? If you
want to borrow money, are you not told
that this free silver racket is soaring in
vestors? Don't manufacturers ooniplain
that they have difficulty in getting loans
with which to buy raw material, pay
wages and carry stocks of gooda? Isn't
the uncertainty about the money in
which loans will be repaid playing the
dickens with credits and conttduuoe
among buuinuas men?

Loudon, Bept 9. The Times this morn
ing publishes a lengthy letter from Its Ha
vana correspondent, dealing with the stats
of affairs ia Cuba, In the course of wbloh
he says:
"Careful st-ndv for the hast four months
convince me that despite serious losses,
the rebels are holding their own against
the troops. Tbe wealthy agricultural dis
tricts are completely under rebel oontroL
and tbe whole sympathy of th Islanders
ia with the rebels. ven Havana, wbloh is
store Bpanisb than any other town or dis
trict, Is permeated with animosity toward
Spanish rule and Is honeycombed with in
triguers on behalf of the rebellion.
"It is quite false to call It a color strug
gle. In tbe fighting ranks of the insur
gent the proportion ia 70 per oent of
white to 80 per oent of negroes.
"Another fallnoy Is the rebel contention
that Spanish misrule originated th rebel
lion. Tba crisis In the sugar trade was
muoh more formidable in fomsntlng tbe
revolt Th struggle is prolonged by th
fsollity with which the insurgents obtain
ammunition and stores of all kind from
abroad and from every town In Cuba un
der th noses of th Spanish offloials with
Impunity, th selsura of contraband being
moat rare.
Insurgents Are Bitter.
"It I now too late to compromise by
granting reform. Th Cuban insurgent
would not now accept full autonomy as
th price of yielding their arms. I say this
advisedly after a oareful examination of
th situation from all points of view.
Spain will ba compelled to conquer or to
abandon the Island. .This lrrenonollabl
attitude of tbe rebel is largely due to th
wholesale execution of rebels after sum
mary trial. These drastio measures only
Increase the hatred of Spain without deter
ring recruits from joining th rebellion.
"Another reason I th hopeless pros
pect of any rehabilitation of Cuban oredlt
while th Island I under Spanish domin
ion. Taxation must be heavily Increased
to pay tbe burden of th war. Hence the
people with vested interest prefer the risk
and uncertainties of Independence coupled
with the earnest hope that at no distant
date Cuba will becom a state in th

At the eleotrlo powerhouse of the Niag

startling as It was unexpected. With hla
nsnal curiosity and desire to make person
al investigation of the machinery before
him, be poked at a switchboard with bia
walking stick. Tbe metal ferrule olosed a
circuit instantly, and Li's stick wa vio
lently thrown from hla grasp. He wa
naturally muoh astonished at the effect of
the stiok's oontact with tbe switchboard,
but fortunately he suffered no damage be
yond a good snare. However, he decided
that be bad seen enough, and he went to
hi rooms, where he remained until bed
time. On the journey to thla plao LI and hla
party passed their first night in an Ameri
oan sleeping oar. Previous to thla novelty
thoy enjoyed dinner in a dining oar. This
meal, which was especially prepared by
the Pennsylvania railroad dining oar peo
ple, was quite elaborate. The menu oard
wa decorated with American and Chinese
flags Intertwined and a faoalmll of th
autograph of Earl LI, don In yellow.
While en rout Li sent for George W.
Boyd, assistant general passenger agent of
the Pennsylvania Railroad oompany, who
piloted the train over the line of his com
pany. LI spent about two boors quest ton
ing him about railroads.
The deep Interest be abows in railroad
matters eonvlnoes those who have paid at
tention to the subject that his prlnolpal
object In visiting this oountry is to study
Amerioan railway construction and man
agement with a view to the adoption of
some of tbe features in a proposed general
extension of tbe Chinese railway system.
In fact, th viceroy intimated that he is
negotiating for the services of an Ameri
oan olvll engineer, who, if he accepts the
offer made him, will go to China in the
near future and take oharge of the railway
extension scheme now being outlined. Li
says there are only about 800 mllea of (sin
gle track) railroad in China at present.
Only throe trains are run each day, and
there la no trafflo at night, th system be
ing so orude and the liability to accident
a constant menace.

Responding to a toast the vloeroy said:
"In acknowledging the hospitality ax
tended to me by my old friend, the Hon.
John W. Foster,. I have to thank him for
affording ma an opportunity before my
departure from the oapltal of this oountry
to renew onoe more the sincere expression
of my gratitude and thankfulness to th
Amerioan government and oltlzens for
the welcome and reception offered to me
as representative of my august master, the
emperor of China, and tbe personlnoatlon
of the Chinese empire.
"Since the establishment of our treaty
relations there have always been evidences
of good fellowship between our two coun
tries, but all these evidences, I dare say.
have now been eollpaod by the cordiality
and warmth displayed by the Amerioan
government and citizens in weloomlng
and reoelvlng my apeolal mission.
"Though I regret that my time doea not
allow me to make a longer sojourn in this
oountry, as I wish in order to appreciate
more fully tbe accomplishment and prog
ress of the United States of Amerioa as a
nation, I oannot help, during my brief
visit here, to be struok and Impressed by
the liberty and freedom enjoyed by the
people; by th welfare and prosperity in
their agricultural, Industrial and oommer

plication of tha aolentlflo discoveries and
Invention for promoting the happiness of
mankind and by their display of their ar
tlstlo taste in tha arohlteoture of the pub
lio buildings, nulpture and painting of
historical figure and facts, wbloh my old
friend, Hon. John W. Foster, has been
kind enough to show ma.
" These impression I will oarry borne,
not only as augmentation to my store of

Chang paid a flying visit to this city and
wa entertained by the Union Xjeairua,
visited Independence hall and called on
John Russell Young. Although he had
not had an opportunity to visit Cramps'
shipyard as was planned, LI found Charles
Cramp, tha head of that establishment,
awaiting hla arrival at the station In Phil
adelphia. He greeted Mr. Cramp affec
tionately and engaged him in conversation
for about ten minute. In reply to a ques
tion Mr. Cramp told LI that ha was not
only th president of the oompany but th
designer of all It ships.
"What hava you donef "
"I hav designed more ship and a great
er variety of them than any other man in
the world," was Mr. Cramp's reply. LI
Inquired -closely regarding th class of
ship built at th Philadelphia yard and
then said: "I find that most of tha nations
build their ships In Knghtnd and Franoe.
Why la itf" Mr. Cramp's response was
that there were various reason for thla
condition. A a general thing, hs said,
th countries that buy ship in England
do so at tha behest of moneyed syndicates
and banker who hava financial in tar est
whioh make it more desirable to thorn that
English shipyards ba patronised. LI ex
pressed over and over again his regret at
not being able to personally inspect tha
great shipyard on tha Delaware and ended
the interview by inviting Mr. Cramp to
visit him in Wanhloston.

the railroad 15 cents.
The oat crop is 250,000,000 bushels
above the average, and the prices
are exceeding low.
The apple crop will be good in the

average. The percentage for the
country by the latest government
reports is 64. 5.
