THE BASIS OF CONFIDENCE.

a free-coinage contemporary says that
'only few men in Wall street now adj
vance the prepOsterous idea that the 80
cents on the dollar of gold inspires more
confidence in the greenback than the credit
of the nation" Facts are more stubborn
things than even the opinion Of Wall-street
operators. From 1865, the close Of the war.
to 1879 The credit of the nation was behind
greenb backs and still they were at discount
on the coin basis. In 1879 the Secretary of
the Treasury proclaimed the fact that gold
10 the amount Of about 80 per cent of the
outstanding greenbacks was in the Treasury
ana would be used TO redeem greenbacks
with. When the date came for redemption
to begin greenbacks were INTERCHANGEABLE
with gold. II it was the credit of the marion
that fioated them, why did they not rise IN
par with gold when the war ended? The
nation was as solid then as it is now. if NOT
so rich. But when the credit of the nation
planted itself on broad basis of coin and
declared It's policy to pay on the spot coin
Tor It's paper, then, and then only, did green
backs rise TO parity with coin.

CAN Such THINGS BE?

Rum0rs are a1Oat to the effect that large
sums of money were expended to procure
the nomination of Mr.. Cleveland at Chicago.
1t is not intimated that Mr. Cleveland him
self knew what means were being used TO
advance his political aspirations. During
the session of the convention Democratic
contemporaries were loaded down with ful-
some praise OF ex-Secretary Whitney, who
managed Mr.. Cleyeland's fight. The ex-
Secretary was represented as so extremely
fascinating that rural delegates melted un-
der the influence of his suaye address. The
rumor now comes that Standard Oil money
nominated Cleveland. Mr. Whitney could
handle Standard Oil money. Several years
ago he married an estimable young lady
who happened TO be the daughter Of SEN
ator Payne OF Ohio, who, next to the Rookie
fel1ers, Is as closely ideDtfi as any man
with the Standard Oil trust 1t is not posi-
lively known to the public whether Mr..
Whitney himself is an owner of Standard
OH stock or not. But he has become yerv
rich IN one way and another, and as he is
able and discreet may naturally have had
the handling of the millions Of the Standard
Oil COMPANY

wEAyEK's SILVER VIEWS.

MI Weaver discusses the silver question
from the standpoint OF a man who has moth
ing, but who is willing 10 take silver for
what he has. AS matter OF course a o.
cent silver dollar is better than no dollar at
all. Mr.. Weaver wants a kind of money
that other people viii not take. III you
pay silver out" Senator Sherman said.
1T Will come right back TO you" To this
Mr.. Weaver replies that that Is the kind Of
dollar he wants. There is an old story
about the bad shilling that repeatedly comes
Rack to its owner, which Mr.. Weaver APP
pears TO have made the cornerstone of his
financial theory. lie has apparently con-
WINGED himself that inferior money will
make the nation rich for the reason that no
other nation will have it. But in that case
we should be rich in things that no other
people win have. But Mr.. Weaver should
bear in mind that other nations will take
our silver dollar readily enough at its value
measured by their own money. Measured
by European money the value of an Ameri-
can silver dollar is 60 cents. Europe will
take them at that rate and turn them into
bullion. When they fall lower Europe will
take them for less. But it is not clear
where the profits for the United States
comes in in producing kind of money
which rises and fails In the money markets
