able prop for Clevelandism, are claiming
that the present administration is keep
ing the rate of pension certificates issued
up to the notch shown by Harrison
administration. An inspection of the
records shows that during the months of
January, February and March, 1893, the
last months of Gen. Raum's admins

original pension certificates were issued,
of which 6737 were certificates under the

For the instruction of those ex-repub.
lican papers who are following Cleveland
on the pretense that his gold standard
policy Isl Republican doctrine, We give
the pledge made for the Republican
party by the Minneapolis convention:
The American people from tradition
and interest, favor bi-metalism, and the
Republican party demands the use of
both gold and silver as standard money,
with such restrictions and under such
provisions, to be determined by legisla-
ton, as will secure the maintenance of
the parity values Of the two metals, so
that the purchasing and debt paying
power of the COLLAR whether of silver,
gold, or paper. shall be at all times
equal.

for every effort made to dignity simple
manhood and to promote the moral and

Secretary Carlisle this week instructed
that the Chicago postal employees be
paid only in gold, and Sc, 900 of the yell
low metal was taken from the treasury
vaults for that purpose. The Secretary
refuses to purchase silver as provided
by the Sherman law, and is forcing gold
on the public while silver dollars are at
a premium, SO that the gold reserve will
not increase SO rapidly as to interfere
with the proposed anti-silver legisla-
ton.

A Funny Fact.

Did you read that cable dispatch on the
Journals 18th page yesterday morning
from London? 1t was about what trans
pired In the house of commons. A
member, Mr.. Robert Everett. of the
ministerial party, asked that in view of
free coinage bill being introduced in
the senate OF the United States if it was
not an opportune time for the two
nations to establish double par basis
for gold and silver. Now. the funny
thing was Mr.. Gladstone's answer. The
cable report says this: ''Mr. Gladstone
replied that the bill referred to by Mr..
Everett in no way represented the views
of the United States government
How does Mr.. Gladstone know what
the views of this government" are IN
less he has the fact through an act of
congress? Or, as he no doubdt is In pos
session of the views of Mr.. Cleveland,
does he think that he is the government?
Is it to Mr.. Ambassador Bayard that the
British premier is indebted for this piece
of advance Information: Wea getting
English very fast in the estimation of
our cousins, when such blunders or such
'betrayals as the above come from the
head of that government. If Mr.. Glad
stone had said that the views of the
United States government could not be
known till congress acted. he would
have been within the American form
but he, it seems, as well as the gold
brokers, have an idea that Wall street
and the president are the government.
1t is under all the circumstances, a very
significant declaration to come from the
source it did.-Kansas City Journal.

There ought not to be any currency or
coin except silver or silver certificates,
authorized by the United States, of
smaller denomination than ten dollars,
to be issued hereafter, either by national
banks or the Uuited States govern
ment.
The Globe-republican., 1893-08-18
What is It then?

We are told by men whose political liv.
ers are not full colored that it is not re.
spectful to charge the administration
with completely in the conspiracy
against silver. Let us look at a few
facts:
The treasurer of the United States has
given out that no more silver certificates
will be issued-though they have COM
manded within the past week as high as
p per cent premium in Wall street.
And why? Because all the silver dollars
coined, which these certificates repre-
sent, have been exhausted. Yet the
treasury has refused to purchase the full
amount of silver required by law for
July.
Again we are told by this same treas
urer that there is large demand for
silver dollars from the south to move
crops and pay farm hands, yet they can
not be sent. Why. again?
Because every coined dollar is repre-
sented by silver certificate in circula-
ton. Or, of this much derided 60 cent
dollar there are $3.50, OOO, 900 in circula-
ton and more wanted, and refused by
the treasury.
But now look at this. While it is true
that all the coined dollars are repre-
sented by paper in circulation, which.
too, is at premium over gold, yet there
are one hundred nd eighty million
ounces of silver bullion in the treasury
which it has full legal authority to
coin. but does not, or will not.
With silver currency at a premium and
urgent calls for more, with the mandate
of the law to purchase so much month,
and full authority to coin the bullion on
hand, and it refuses to do either, what
can you make of it but completely with
the conspiracy?
To see the president.and his secretary.
and his treasurer, refusing even to obey
the law, or to avail themselves of the
legal authority to furnish currency in
such demand that it costs business
premium to get, is thing that no king
or emperor would have the temerity to
attempt.
We commend these facts-not ours. but
those of the treasurer of the United
the calm consideration of all
men. Nothing parallel to it has ever
been known in this government before.
What but a conspiracy and completely in
a conspiracy can account for such con-
dition of things?-Kansas City Journal.

Earnest, persistent prayer Is essential

Earnest, persistent prayer Is essential
to spiritual prosperity. Yet how very
little of it is manifest in the church
Our prayers are too commonplace both
in their matter and manner. Alexander
Maclaren, of Manchester, England, in a
recent sermon says: 81 believe that, of
all the vain words that people speak,
there are few that are vainer, more
languid. less real, coming from such a
superficial depth in their souls, as the
prayers of the average protesting
Christian. He says to-day what he said
yesterday, and he said it yesterday
because he had said it the day before,
and he said 1t the day before because his
grandfather must have said it, and it is
the right thing and the ordinary thing to
say. If you strike all that is convention
al, all that is formrl, all that you do not
care rush whether you ever get or not,
and all that you would not for the life of
you know what to do with if you got it
out of your prayers, how much would
there be left?
We should be both honest and earnest
when We approach throne of grace.
Honesty will insure us hearing, while
errnestness, (other things being equaD
will insure us an answer.

silver, at its full coinage value, was les!
than one-third of the production gold
And putting another decade with this
one we find that the worlds output Of
gold was over two and one.half times
that of silver during the twenty years
from 1851 to 1871.
For the forty years from 1851 to 1897
the worlds production was. of gold
$4,741.27l 900 and of silver. SO 1868, 733-
700 or nearly Sl45 of gold. to 500 of sill
yer.
During the first half of the century
the worlds yield of the two metals was
just the reverse. From 1903 to 1920 the
worlds average annual product .of gold
was 80, 40, 800. and of silver s36. s47 500
or about four of silver to one of gold.
From 1921 to 1910 the average annual
yield of gold was 81 ,466, 900, of silver,
S21 1864 600, or about two of silver to one
of gold. The proportion continued
about the same until 1916, when the
yield from the Russian gold fields about
elualized the product of the the two
metals, until the etflux from the Califor-
mia mines began to appear; aud for three
centuries and half prior to 1850 the
production of silver was much more than
double that of gold.
What do these figures teach? Do they
teach what the Times in its newborn zeal
for a single gold standard seeks to
establish, lo.wit: That not demoniti-
cation but over production of silver has
caused the decline in the price of the
white metal? Far from it. They teach
just the reverse.
Notwithstanding the great fluctuations
in the worlds yield Of the two metals,
now silver predominating and now gold,
they remained remarkably steady in their
relation to each other, and why? Be.
cause they were both admitted to free
coinage at ratio established BY law,
and the coinage value determined the
commercial bullion value of the two met
tails. As the good Democratic authority.
Mr.. Preston, director Of the mint. re-
Gently said:
1.-The French ratio of / to 154 was a
fixed point about which the price of sill
yer moved. The London price fixed the
relative value of silver and gold for the
world. but the commercial
value could never vary very much from
the coinage value as long as the minis of
the Latin Union stood ready to transform
gold and silver into coin at the ratio of l
to l53.''
Prior to 1850 the output of silver enor-
mously exceeded that of gold, and never
in these later years, when so much has
been said of the great yield Of silver, has
there ever been such relative prepon-
1erance of the product of the white over
the yellow metal as prior to 1850. and
yet there was no decline in the value of
'iver during those decades of excessive |
relative production before 1850. Why
vas this SO if the Times argument be
rue?

"Wly Silver Has Declined"

Kansas City Journal.
The Times of the 18th inst. has an edi.
torial under this caption, which argues
that the cause of the decline in silver is
due to an increase of production, and
not to demonetization. If it had gone a
little further with its figures its argu-
ment would have refuted itself. It says t:
For the period of forty years, begin
ming with the year 1851 and ending 1891,
the annual worlds production Of gold
varied but few thousand ounces from
5000, 900 ounces per annum. For ms
lance in the year 1851 the worlds pro-
duction was $500, 900, in the year 1851,
it was ., SOC, 900 ounces, in the year 1871,
it was ., 175, 900 ounces, in the year 1881,
4, 1884 900 ounces, and in the year 1891,
6,Ol0, 900 ounces, showing an almost uni
form annual production of the yellow
metal.
II the Times had gone more into detail
1t would be seen how essentially incor-
rect its figures are, and how wide of the
truth is its statement that the produce
ton varied but few thousand ounces
from 100000 ounces per annum. In
1853 the production of gold was over
z 900, 900 ounces, and nearly as much in
1856. 1t will be understood that each
ounce of gold stands for a little more
than $40. And during the decade from
1851 to 1861 the worlds production of
