ONE STANDARD OF VALUE.

Cleveland Leader.
One of the things which the silverites
do not understand, probably because
they do not wish to, is the utter hope
lessness of making two metals equal in
value by legislation. 1t is just as i'm
possible to make 412a grains of silver
equal in value to 25.8 grains of gold by
act of Congress as it would be to make
a bushel of wheat always equal in value
to bushel of potatoes. Some months
ago a bushel of wheat could be traded,
even, for bushel of potatoes, but at
present prices it takes bushel and a
half of wheat to buy a bushel of
potatoes, and legislation could not
change these conditions. 1t is nonsense
to try to have two standards of value,
and the proper one to adopt is the one
that is in use by the best nations in the
world. Gold must be our standard of
value We should be pleased to see
silver advance in price, as it would
benefit our silver mine owners, but it
will not advance in price to any great
extent as long as overproduction exists,
and any attempt to make it equal in
value to gold by act of Congress would
be futile. OF course, the United States
could adopt silver as standard of value
in the place of gold, and thus initiate
the wisdom of the pagan world, but
gold would be driven ont of the country,
which would result in initiating prices
about one-third, and everyone knows
what that would mean.

The Republican protective tariff sys-
tenn reduces the price of sugar, which
every family consumes, to four and five
cents per pound, and it enables Ameri-
can workmen to obtain employment at
American wages. What if steel rails
are few dollars a ton higher in this
country than in Belgium? They are
bought by millionaire railway corpora
tioDs, and the workingmen get the
difference in price. Grover Cleveland,
Mills, and the pestiferous lot of Demo
cratic and Mugwump free trade editors
are in favor of keeping the price of
sugar up to eight and ten cents per
pound, in order that great and wealthy
corporations may buy steel rails and
many other articles at prices which pre-
vail in England and Belgium. These
free trade thinkers are perfectly heartless
in the matter. If they buy what they
want as cheaply as the same goods are
sold for in Europe they care not what
becomes of the families of American
workingmen.

PUBLIC OPINION.

WHY SADDLE BAGS" WAS HATED.
Chicago Journal.
The death of Joseph E. Mcdonald, of
Indianapolis, takes out of the way one
of the really pure and great Democratic
statesman of this country. He was op-
posed and hated by the small fry politi-
clans of Indiana, such men as ex-Gov
Gray, Congressman Bynum, Senator
Turpie, and probably Dan VOORHEES,.
His advancement under the Cleveland
administration, therefore, was prevented,
although his services were needed from
time to time in many important offices,
and there were frequent public calls for
his appointment. But the appointment
never came; hence he was spoken of as
the man always mentioned" for Office
who never got it.

CHRISTIANITY

THE REMEDY FOR SOCIAL EVILS.
Dr. j. NJ Buckley, in Harper's Magazine for July.
If Christianity were universally adopt
ed, all social evils would vanish; there
would be but few very rich persons;
comparatively few would be poor, and
those would be worthy of abundant
sympathy and help, which they would
receive. At gathering of socialists
at the grave of Carl Marx, celebrating
the anniversary of his deaih, one of the
speakers declared, "The three things
which the world needs are solidarity, en-
ergy, and self-sacrifce" Self-sacriice
is another word for disinterestedness
and this needs Christianity; for, as F.
ID. Maurice, the English rector, socialist,
and friend of Kingsley, said, 'Be sure
of this, that no human creatures will be
found saying sincerely Our brothers on
earth unless they have said previously
Our Father which art in heaven"
Prescriptions for the relief of symp-
toms or for deadening sensibility to
pain can at best serve but a temporary
purpose. If while serving that purpose
they divert attention from constitution
al maladies which if left to themselves
will inevitably prove fatal, the good
that they may do becomes infinitesimal
in comparison with the evil. Reform
ers may or may not have doubts of the
origin of Christianity, and
may not openly ally themselves with
any of its visible forms, but without its
lid, directly or indirectly, any scheme
which antagonizes Christianity must be
United in its application and restricted
n its duration to the lifetime of its
'ounder or his immediate successors.

HOW DO THEY DO IT.

Years ago A. 7. Stewart was harassed
by certain Treasury decision, which
vastly increased his payments of duties.
His lawyer called one day about another
matter. Stewart spoke in an exasper-
ated way about the Treasury decision.
"Let me see the decision" said the
lawyer. After reading it through he
said:
"This law speaks of 'all-silk' garments.
Why don't you have thread of worsted
run into these goods when they are made
abroad?"
"Will that come within the new law?"
asked the great merchant.
Certainly"
"How much do you want for that
opinion?" asked Stewart few months
later.
"Fifty thousand dollars" said the
lawyer. And he got it. He was mod
est, too, but dollar went farther in
those days than it does now.
Stewart years after told his legal ad-
wiser that the casual suggestion made
that day had been worth over $1,5O0,00O
to the merchants.
So the $4,000 fee was not high.

A SUMMER POLITICAL 1prL.

New York Press.
The indianapolis conference of Re-
publican politicians who posed as the
friends of Mr.. Blaine and propose to
organize for his nomination in 1892, is
a sort of summer political idyl. The
subject is grand and inspiring. The
political poets are not so happy. If
Secretary Blaine is the party choice for
President next year it will not be at the
instance of members of the party who
are dissatisfied with President Harrison's
dispensation of patronage, nor can his
nomination be brought about by oppo
sition to the administration in which he
is leading factor. Mr.. Harrison him
self has no antagonism to Mr.. Blaine,
in respect to the Presidential Office, nor
Mr.. Blaine to Mr.. Harrison. The Pres
ident has the welfare of his party and
country at heart, as we are fully assured
by his thoroughly patriotic and able and
manly career in the White House during
trying period in history. His close
relations with his great Secretary abso
lutely debar their clashing as political
rivals.

THE OHIO sENAToRsHIP.

Pittsburgh Dispatch.
The attempts of the Farmers Alliance
to defeat Senator Sherman will doubtless
receive proper quietus when the time
comes. No other man in Ohio can fill
his place in the Senate, and surely that
State does not care TO lose its prestige
in Congress. 1t has been alleged that
Ohio Republicans were unwilling to re-
turn Mr.. Sherman to the Senate, but the
leaders are certainly too sensible to re-
tire so able servant and place in his
stead an untried man. Ambitious Re
publicans in Ohio claim he has spent
many years in public life and should
retire in favor of some younger man.
But there is no reason for such move
These younger men have many years
before them, and in the coming Congress

THERE Is MORE MONEY.

New York Press.
A leading cry of the third party agi-
tators, echoed by the Democratic leaders
is that the country wants, needs and
must have "more money" The argu-
ment is that there is not enough circu-
lating medium properly to transact the
growing business of this growing nation.
There may be some truth in that asser-
ton. If it is true it shows gratifying
and healthy commercial growth. But
when this cry for "mOre money is used
as partisan appeal it lacks force in the
face of facts. There is more money.
The volume of currency the month Of
June was $73,000.000 greater than it
was in June, 1890, $107,000,000 greater
than in 1889, s126,000,000 greater than
in 1888. Going back ten years, to 1881,
the volume was then S300,000,000 less
than now. The circulating medium of
the country has been conservatively in
creased, and the policy of this admins
tration has been to conservatiyely in
crease it, keeping soundness always in
view.

there will be weighty questions to be
discussed, and the advice and counsel
of Mr.. Sherman will be needed.
The Farmers Alliance urges Sher-
mans coldness as a reason for retire
ment, and alleges that he is an enemy
to agriculture; but his record and public
utterances will show that he is the
friend of the farmer and mechanic as
well. Mr.. Sherman should continue to
represent Ohio in the Senate, and the
greatest mistake that could be made by
Ohio Republicans would be to defeat
him

THE DESIGNS ON OUR MONEY

THE DESIGNS ON OUR MONEY.
From "The Point of View,' in July Scribner.
The Director of the Mint, authorized
by act of Congress, has recently issued
circular letter to artists inviting them
to submit "new designs of authorized
emblems or devices to be prepared or
adopted for the coins of the United
States" This on its face is highly to be
commended, for our coinage at present
is calculated to make the judicious weep,
and the 1ukewarm patriot sympathize
with the structures of the foreigner on
our degree of civilization. The criti-
cisms on our coinage could indeed be
applied with equal force to all our
moneys, for the Treasury notes, with
their wealth of turning-lathe tracery
and their sign painters lettering, are no
better than our coins. The one excuse
for their existence has been the difficulty
which they were supposed to oppose to
counterfeiting; but this, it appears from
late developments, is largely imaginary,
and their ornate ugliness is therefore
without extenuating circumstances.

WHY 1 AM A PROTECTIONIST.

Hon. J, p Dolliver in American Economist.
| believe in the doctrine of Protection
because the facts of our national ex
perience thoroughly exemplify its truth.
No great American statesman, except
the half forgotten leaders of the Slave
Power, have disowned the Protective
system. The Importers Trust and the
Slave Trust have been alone in their
hostility t. that system, each for obvious
reasons peculiar to itself. If the doctrine
of Protection is not true, our people
have blindly followed blind leadership
If the policy of Protection is not wise,
it indicates that the human race, outside
of England, has not sense enough to
take care of itself l will not thus dis
parage the average common sense of
our own country, nor thus discredit the
average common sense of mankind.

THE USE OF WATER IN LONDON.

THE USE OF WATER IN LONDON.
Walter Resant, in Raper's Magazine for July.
One does not find any period in the
history of London when the citizens de-
sired plain cold water as beverage.
Beer was always the national drink
they drank small ale for breakfast, din
ner, and supper; when they could get it
they drank strong ale. Of water for
washing there was not at this period so
great demand as at present. AT the
same time it is not true to say, as was
said few years ago in the House of
of Commons, that for eight hundred
years our people did not wash them
selves. All through the Middle Ages
the use of the hot bath was not only
common but frequent, and in the case
of the better classes was almost neces-
sity of life.
