Threat to Pnt the JoMV State on th Rllvrr Baals Wonkl Cause' ftnftlnM Stag nation Mr. Dryen's Snheme la Throw the Coon try Into FN So Thftt He Cm Try If to fllxtaca to On Quack Medlflln Kvll KAVeta of th Vre Coinage Agita tion Already Manifest. Hon. Carl Bchnrs, ex-seerotary of the Interior, midnwcd an I minenfte audience in Central Mania hall, Chicago, on Bopt. 6. 8pcnking of a possible free all Tor victory he said : Consider what the immediate conno qnonres would be if Mr. Bryan were elected president, with B oongross to match. Mr. Bryan would of course be anxious to have hi free coinage law enacted, bat tlint could not be, even if he called an itra session of congress, until some ttme in April or May, five or nil month after the day of election. Bat as (toon as on the 4th of Norombpr the remit of the election waa announced evorybody would know that the parity of gold and silver would not be main tained. It having been made certain by Mr. Bryan's election that the purity of gold and silver wonld not be maintained, there would be a rush upon the tree tiry for the gold in H by persons hold ing greenbacks ontitlcd to redempi ion, and the gold reserve would be exhaust ed In n twinkling. Oold will instantly disappear from circulation, to be hoard ed or exported. Why will it disappear? Bccanse every sensiblo person when making a paymont will prefer to make it in the loss valuable dollar and hold the more valuable gold dollar bark for more profitable use. Gold will there fore qnickly rise to a premium, and we shall be on the silver basis long before a free ooinage law can be enacted. Our daily transactions in buying and soil ing, in paying and receiving wages, will no longer be carried on upon the basis of the gold dollar worth 100 cents, bat of the silvor dollar worth 60 cents or thereabout, for tbo government will no longer hold np the silver dollar to the value of the gold dollar. Tho quantity of gold vanishing from circulation will amount to about 000, 000,000, the disappearance of which will mako a tremendous hole in the volume of oar currency. Bat, says tho silver man, there will be free silver coinage to fill the gap promptly with coined silver or silvor certificates. Oh, no, my follow sufferers. The disappear ance of gold will happen promptly after tho eleotion of Mr. Bryan, and there will not possibly be any free coinage of silver for at loast six months, and it will require a great many more months to All a gep of $000,000,000. What will happen meanwhile? The St Louis Globe-Democrat reports Mr. Bryan to have said some, time ago: "I think it meaning tho viotory of the free ooinage movement will cause a panic But the country is in a deplor able condition, and it will take extreme measures to restore it to a oondition of prosperity. " Whereupon the St. Louis "paper pointedly remarks, "Evidently I MrVBryon has heard of the doctor who always threw his patient into fits before administering any curative medioine. " Just so. How, then, wonld Mr. Bryan's "fit" work? The snddon disappearance of our gold from circulation would produce the most stringent contraction of the currency on record. Business men who owe money and at the some time have money due them will be foroed to ool lect that money by every means at their disposal. Nobody will be inclined to lend out any money except upon extraor dinary security. Tho banks will nat urally consider it their duty to keep themselves strong, and therefore to call in loans and to rostriot their discounts and advances to business men with the utmost caution. Business establish ments, manufactories, mercantile ' bouses, nnable to got the money for meet ing their obligations, will by the hun dreds succumb to their embarrassments and tumble down like a row of bricks. ' Others will cautiously restrict their op erations to the narrowest possible limit, and wage earners by the thousands will lose their employment and be turned into the street How oan I foretell theee things with so much assurance? Because they have already cast their shadows before. Do you remember the crisis of 1893, when the silver basis was In sight? And now again the mere apprehension of a possibility of Mr. Bryan's election and of the consequent slipping of our oonntry upon the silver basis baa al ready caused untold millions of our securities to be thrown upon the market in Europe as well as here. Soores of business orders are already recalled, a large number of manufac turing establishment have already stopped or restricted their operations, enterprise Is already disoouraged and nearly paralysed, many works of poblio Utility by industrial or railroad oozn- ponies have already been ordered off, thousands of workiugmen are already thrown out of employment, gold is al ready being boarded, capital is already being sent out of the country to be in vested in Europe for safety. - And why all this? Not, as the silver men foolishly pretend, because the ex isting gold standard has made money scarce, for capital is lying idle In heaps. soores upon soores of millions, fairly yearning for safe employment. No. Ak those oonoerned why all this hap pens, and with one voice they will toll you it is because they apprehend serious danger to every dollar ventured out through the change of our standard of value in prospect, through the debase ment of oar currency threatened by the true silver coinage movement And if these are tbu effects of a mere appre hension of a possibility, what would be the fctt'ect of the event itself? Bllver, Copr ood Tnaa yaper. The owners of oopper mines need not be elated with the idea that the argu ment fur chouo silver dollar is a still bettor argument for cheaper oopper dot lorn. We shull not drop to a oopper basis. The ultimate resting place for the Vopocrats is f oredetermlned in their platform assertion of the right of the government to issue legal tender paper Dott That is the cheap money paradise into which all the advocates of repudia tion are logioally drawn. "FREE SILVER'S t ' II !fU 0k j I YES. BUT WHAR'8 DK 8ADDULT" , COMMERCE NEEDS A STAliLE STAND ARD. Vice Presidential Candidate Hobart Shows Why Oold la the first Minmrt of Valaee. In his letter accepting the Republican Domination for vice president Hon. Gar ret A. Hobart saidt The money standard of a great nation should be as fixed and permanent as the nation itself. To secure and retain the best should be the desire of every right minded citizen. Resting on stable foun dations, continuous and nnvarvinar cer tainty of valne should be distinguish ing characteristic. The experience of all history oonfirms the truth that every ooin, made under any law, howsoever that ooin may be stamped, will finally oommand in the markets of the world the exact valne of the materials which compose It The dollar of our country, whether of gold or silver, should be of the full value of 100 cents, and by so much as any dollar is worth less than this in the market by precisely that sum will some one be defrauded. The necessity of a oertaiu and fixed money value between nations as well as individuals has grown oat of the Inter change of commodities, the trade and business relationships which have arisen among the peoples of the world, with the enlargements of human wants and the broadening . of human interests. This necessity has made gold the final standard of all enlightened nations. If we are to continue to hold our place among the great commercial na tions, we must cease juggling with this question and make our honesty of pur pose clear to the world. No room should be loft for misoonoeption as to the meaning of the language used in the bonds of the government not yet ma tured. It should not be possible for any party or individual to raise a question as to the purpose of the country to pay all its obligations in the best form of money recognised by the commercial world. Any nation which is worthy of credit or confidence oan afford to say explicit ly on a question so vital to every in terest what it means when such mean ing is challenged or doubted. It is de sirable that we should make it know at onoe and authoritatively that an "hon est dollar" means any dollar equivalent to a gold dollar of the present standard of weight and fineness. Thing Might Bo ru Won. It is a frequent exouse of unthinking men for leaning toward free silver that ' things can t be worse than they now are. This is a mistake. Mat ters oan be very much worse, especially for the workingmon. ' First They would be worse If wage were paid in a 6B cent dollar or in a dollar worth less than 100 cents. How ever It may be with mine owners and mortgage debtors, men whose capital is their labor are not Interested in having the "purchasing power of their dollar" diminished. Second. Things would be made worse far the 1.789,86 saving bank depositors In this state alone If their $715, 031,899 of saving were made pay able in depreciated dollars. Third. Things would be worse for the nearly 1,000,000 pensioner If their monthly stipend were to be paid in 68 cent dollar. Fourth. Thing would be worse for all the millions of beneficiaries of stock, mutual and oo-operative insurance com panies and all the 1.74S.7S5 sharehold ers In building and loan aasoolation if paymeut were to be made to them In any money leas good than the best Fifth. Things womid be worse for everybody in case of a panio caused by the prospeot of a silver basis. New York World. rtom a Greet Itenaopaa t. A depreciation of the currency is al ways attended by a loss to the laboring classes. This portion of the oommunity have neither time nor opportunity to watch the ebbs and Bow of the money market Engaged from day to day In their useful toils, they do not perceive that although their wage are nom inally the same, or even somewhat higher, they are greatly reduced, in foot, by the rapid increase of currency, which, as it appears to make money abound, they are at first inclined to con sider a blessing. Andrew Jaokaoo, Eighth Annual Message. (letting Rich Im Tbeur Iliads. The silverites who are dreaming of great wealth to be bad for everybody through the simple process of calling 50 oents a dollar should waka ap long enough to ask tbemeelve this question t "If a dollar's worth of property means a certain quantity of labor prod ucts, would there be any more of these products for the men who wont them if we say that the same amount of proper ty is worth 2? In other words, does an increase in the prions of goods mean an Increased quantity of goods?" By the time they have thought oat an answer to this question the viotim of the 16 to 1 delusion will be able to see that, though tbey might legislate that very dollar' worth of products should be worth 100 time as much, tho only change would be in the minds of the men who mode the law. Dream of great riohes are mighty poor substitutes for solid, labor products. - IN THE SADDLE I" WHO 18 TO BLAME t Tho Free Mllver Wolf Boys That tho Booa4 Money Unit Is DletorMng Booloeo. The wolf in the fable blamed the lamb for stirring np the bed of the stream and making toe water muddy. "Bat," said the lam "the water runs from you toward me. I oould not have disturbed your drinking." "Oh, well," the wolf rejoined, "if you did not, your grandfather did. " And he straightway dined on yonng mutton. The silverlte wolves who are howling calamity and threatening to overthrow our sound financial system pretend to find an exouse for their If) to 1 schemes In the unsettled condition of business. Because loans are being called in and capital is timidly waiting the result of the elections, the advocate of free coin' age say, in the words of their presiden tial candidate, "Yon are interfering with business. " All unfavorable indica tions fca trade and industry they loudly ascribe to the gold standard, and the manufacturers wbo are farced to limit their output by reason of the refusal of merchants to buy while there is so much uncertainty about prices are accused of being gold bugs who are purposely mak ing hard times. It should be easy for all intelligent voters to see through the hypocrisy of the illverite claims. Nothing can be more oertain than that instead of being dne to the gold standard any flnanoial stringency which may now exist 1 al most entirely caused by the agitation for a debased currency. With a large number of ofnoe seeking politicians go ing up and down the country shouting for cheap dollars, and promising to cut the measure of values In two if they gain oontrol of the government, how oan business be good? A tight money market simply mean that the owners of capital are unwilling to make loans. Does any reasonable man expect that the throat of enabling borrowers to pay their debts in 60 oent dollar is going to enoourage investors to part with their capital? On the contrary, is it not self evident that the olamor for a debt re pudiation policy is the real source of business depression? So long as there remains any doubt as to the future financial basis of our great industrial and mercantile opera tions so long will there be anxiety and fear in the commercial world. Distrust will oontinae to breed failures i oapital will be soaree and Interest high : debts will be hard to oolloot, and investor will hesitate to engage in productive -in dustrle. This oondition of affairs can only be remedied, in so far as our money standard is oonoerned, by an emphatio declaration at the polls against free sil Tor and all other obeap money fallacies. We cannot by law fix the value of either metal or ooin or of any of the or tides that enter into the want of life. The great law of demand and supply t (Toots the value a it doe iron, oopper or lino.

Had the man agers of this meeting set oat to mall very Incident of It at variance with the notification or Bryan It oould not have been more auoonesfiil. Th thermometer marked It ooal In distinction to the fever beat at the Bryan meeting; the audleno that filled every nook and corner of an ertlfio that partitioned off as it was, ao onminodatns fully ft,000nntilii, remained In their tents until the eixi' th session, and the platform waa filled with represen tative men of the eld Doraooratlo party, fanes familiar to all. Th presence upon the stags of men like Rowell P. Flower, W. D. Bynam, Charles 8. Falrohlld, R. E. Andoraon and Robert Greer Monroo, In addition to the speakers, gar a dignity to the affair that was oar rind out in the andinnoe, the orowd being of a better class than uitnally gathers at such svents. At firs It was auiet bat tbs brief remarks of Chairman F rower see rued to awaken them, for In a moment they were shontlng their approval of the state ment "We are not 60 oent Democrats. " Th other pointed bnt brief remarks of the ex-governor wen also voolferously ap plauded, and by the tiro Mr. Bynum be gan his remarks they were very apprecia tive and hearty in their reception. when General Palmer was lntrodnced, he was received with almost vociferous ap plause. He said in parti Falmer'a Speeeh. That part of th platform wbloh refers to th money question attracts th largest measure of popular attention, and it Is to that olause the Chicago platform ana th corresponding clauses of the platform adutped by the Indianapolis oonventlon that I propose to direct attention brlenr Th Chloago platform declare and rec ognizee that the money question Is para mount to all other at this time. We In vite attention to the foot that the federal constitution named silver and gold to gether as the money metals of th United State and that the first coinage laws passed by oongress under th constitution made the silver dollar th monetary unit and admitted gold to free ooinage upon the original basis by the silver dollar unit This language oommends the oonventlon, its oandldates and their supporters to the dlstlnot definite measure of the coinage of the silver dollar of 419H grains of stand ard silver with unlimited legal tender qualities. One or tnese declarations most be false In principle and Is necessarily dangerous to the business and orodlt of the oountry. And it is for the Demooratlo party to de termine In the approaohing eleotion whloh of these two is to be aooppted as a true ex. position of the party faith. On a former oooaslon I said that in this pledge to the free ooinage of silver the Chicago oonven tton Invoked not only th Judgment bat the Imagination of the Amorloan people The free ooinage of silver as Interpreted by Mr. Bryan means the advanos In the commercial value of all tbs silver bullion and ooin and Indeed alt the oommerolal silver to an equality In oommerolal valu In gold. The promise Is that th Amen nan dol lar, wbloh it may be said oonveniently is worth 68 oents a oompared with th dol lar of gold, shall by th adoption of this measure by the United States be advanced In equality, and In oommerolal value to an equality with the dollar of IB 6-10 grain of standard gold, and a similar promise is made with reference to all ths sliver ooinage or tno oivmzea worm. Mr. Bryan and the more Intelligent of bis supporters reject the shallow definition cf bimetallism whloh demands no more than the admission of both gold and sliver to the mint at a ratio of 18 to 1, but ha asserts that the free ooinage of silver at that ratio to gold will produoe real bimet allism, a double and equal standard of value, clothing the coins of both gold and stiver with equal power in th market and in the payment of debt Let as oonsider tbs Import of this startling proposition for on moment First It assumes that the unlimited ooinage of silver on private aooonnt on the ratio of 10 of silver to 1 of gold with lull legal tendr quality by the United States alone will give to the tut, 000,000 of all dollars already oolned an equal oommer olal debt paying and purchasing power to the dollar containing 85 8-10 grains of standard gold, wbloh at present th gold dollars are supposed to possess, supported by the national pledge to maintain th parity In value of these silver dollars with gold ooin. Second. It assumes that the sam oause, free coinage of silver, will nwlntala the equally aooepoabl value of all dollar that may hereafter be oolned 00 private aooount by the United States. Third. it assumes that in free eoinag of sliver bv the United States alone would at onos adranoe the value of the oommer olal silver of the world to that of gold. II would in the same manner aflaot the valu of all th silver oolnag of all oivU fcted nations. It seams astonishing that in th light of all human asueriaoo snub a proposition should nut only be entertained by tana men. but that upon It aooeptano and belief a great party should demand publlo oonndenoe. The Real Qaeetle. Th oommerolal law whloh oontrol this subleot is familiar to the oountry, Under its operation slight differences in the oomparatlvs valu of silver and gold led to the exportation ef th Amorloan oolned dollar to tuoh an extent that few or none of them were In domastio circula tion. If th unlimited oolnag of sliver dollars by th United States should oause even a small advanoe In silver aimer in the form of bullion or ooin, Importations would follow until prloas were equalised and Import of silver would beootn with' out profit Th real question then Is, Con th Amarloan people, by a law, authorise th unlimited oolnag of silver dollar on prlvoke aooount on tb ratio of 10 of lUver to 1 of gold with full legal tender quality for all debts and dues publlo and private and make th silver coinage of the world of equal acceptability and valu and of equal power In th market and in the paymont of debt with ail th gold oolned in the worldr This statement of th question Is made In an unuauol fur in, but neiuwr us truta nor It exactness will b questioned. 9J any thoughtful man aftor ha has fully M.,ii,tMri the vsnid methods of modern lntaroouniuutoatlun and th activities of la my Judgment result uoh as I have d atari bed are iuipoaelbi of aooompllsh unt by th meaaur proposed. I admit th sliver hulliun auav be advanced in innmnnUI value hv Ita iDOroad Oaeful- Bees, but no advance to a parity with gold la possible, and th whole result of the measure will b to dapreclatlon of th valu of the ooluaga. th ruin of publlo and privet oredtt, th disturbance of busi ness, the disturbance of values and the overthrow of all American Industrie. When Governor Klcvor Introduoed Gen eral Buokoer. the scene was almost dra- matlo. The northern andinnoe evidently thought that to the brave soldier of th south It should aorord a special welnome, and cheer upon oheer rent th air, ths speaker being for several minute unable to begin. Ex-Governor Flower said: t At the Indianapolis convention we nominated a Union general and a former Confederate general. In the last war of 80 years past the grass has grown green over both the graves of th Union and the Confederate dead, and at Indianapolis we hvrled all tbs hate of th past with military honors.

Those nn plonsfint sensations oome from want of greater -ventilation. The air is Vitiated hy breaths and clothing, Many of r the pupils scarcely know the luxury of a good bath and plonty of cbpan underclothing. Now, can the air be anything but bad under such circumstances? If the win dows are opened long the teacher and pupils take oold, and some are afraid and think they cannot stand the smallest breath of fresh air. A schoolroom 80 foot square and 8 foot high contains 7200 cubio feet of air. This room will seat 60 pupils. Al lowing 10 cubio foet of air to each pupil per minute all the air In the room will be vitiatod in 12 minutos. Now, granting that every moans is used regarding ventilation, and a goodly supply of soap and water to scrub the floors instead of sweeping, a reoess of five minutes ought to be given every hour, so that the child ren oould move about, have the windows and doors wide open, and let them breathe in freely the pure air of nature, to repair their mental and physical oondition. Effects are proportioned to causes, and if an at mosphere filled with B per cent of carbonio acid will produce death in a few minutes, what must be tho ef fect of breathing for 10, 20, or 40 years the much smaller proportion which must be in every inhabited room where there is not a constant incoming and outgoing of air? It must and does lower the standard of health and shorten our lives. Let a person who is in good health, with a sound nasal organ, take a brisk walk in the open air, then come at once into an inhabited room, and if there is any unpleasant odor, tho air of that room is hurtful. How many dwelling, sitting-rooms, or bedrooms would pass such an or deal in the early morning after be ing occupied all night? Bad air, be ing heavy, always sinks to the floor and to be gotten rid of must be drawn from the floor, either by open fireplaces or some means of ventila tion. A room 10 by 12 contains 1440 cubio feet of air, the available oxy gen of which is used up by one per son in half an hour. What to breathe, then, becomes the great question. David Bummers. THE EXAMPLE Or THE TEACHER. Probably all of us who are old enough to begin tracing character to its sources, can readily recall at loast one teacher who by his exemplary life, taught us what the books did not and could not give. Borne of us are so fortunate as to be able to call to mind several such good-souled teachers. We may have forgotten the rules they taught us, but the in. fluenoe of their lives upon our own becomes more and more apparent every day. We are largely the composites of other characters, and next to, and in some cases even beyond, the infhx ence of father and mother, probably no life so interweaves itself into our own as that of noble-minded teach ers. Precious be the memory of them. They are with us forever part of us. Let us draw a few lessons from this experience. The teacher who limits his efforts merely to the trans ferring of knowledge from books to the minds of the young, is working in a plain far beneath his privilege He may be on adept in ftgnres or very dictionary of dates and facts but unless he regards his higher self as one of the important factors in educational problems, he misses the great opportunities of his life. The village all may declare how much he knows, but unless the lives of the pupils declare also how much he is. though he may become famous for his knowledge, he will never become great . for only thoy are great who project their own good lives into the lives of others. The greatest thing in any system of education should be the teacher The richest part of any bourse of in struction should be the instructor, By his example and influence he can so impress the growing lives that is after years they shall be able to say. "We live happier because of the high standard we were led to follow through the example of a noble teacher j we are stronger because he taught us how to be patient and kind and pure." What mariner of man or woman ought, then, the teacher to be ! Surely, only "He that hath clean hands and a pure heart " should stand in the sacred plaoe of the trainer of youth. The teacher bhould be an exemplar not only in the school-room but out of it as well. He who regards with small concern his oonduot when free from school-room duties lessens his chances of suocess. He thereby fiiiLj to hold tho rospnot of his pupils and gives an unfavorable impression to the people, who make np their esti mate of him largely from what they soe. A parent who knows that a teacher's conduct outside as woll aa Inside of the school is all of tho right sort will be more .likely than other wise to co-oporate with him In the work of the school. This point is seemingly over-looked, by a few at loast. , More and more is being said theso days about moral training in tho sohools. A good tendency this. The general impression seems to be.how ever, that the most effectual way in this kind of training is by example. Rend the testimony of one of Amer ica's most gifted writers and lectur ers : The main factor in the child's moral training is the personality of the teacher, if he is the right person for the responsible place he occu pies. His very presence is an edu cation, and the tones of his voioe.the xpression of his countenance, his habits and manners, all are felt by the children of his charge, who are infected by them as by a divine con tagion. Cyrus Pieroe, the father of normal schools in America, was a remarkable teacher in his moral personality. He developed in his pupils suoh nower of conscience and such moral foroe that they manifested it every wherein the class-room, in the study hall, in the boarding house, on the street. Nor did his influence over them end when they graduated from his school. They carried with them, in most instances, the detrac tors they hod formed undor his in struction, and people were accus tomed to say that they could identi fy Prof. Pierce's pupils by their mental habits and their methods of transacting business- In all the walks of life they were conscienti- ' ous, exact, reliable and honorable." Herein lies one of the fine arts. Better than representing character in cold marblo and on lifeless canvas, is the moulding of living characters by our own highest solves.
