HONEST MONEY,

The Sentinel characteriZes as "super-
lative imbeciIity" a statement of the
Philadelphia Press that ga gold dollar
is honest because it requires full dol
lars worth of labor and capital to mine
and market the gold contained in it,"
The absurdity of this statement, ac-
cording to the Sentinel. lies in the fact
that some gold mines pay large divi-
dends. that enormous fortunes are made
in gold mining. and that there are nu-
merOus instances of persons who had
no capital who became rich by discov-
ering gold mines. From this the Sem
tinel concludes that 1t does not cost
dollar to mine dollars worth of gold,
and it asserts as matter of fact that
dollars worth of gold can be mined for
fr0n 40 to so cents.
The object of this argument is to
prove that the value of the gold dollar
is by no means wholly intrinsic, but
largely artificial and dependent on the
government stamp and its legal tender
quality. The argument is fallacious in
that it takes no account of the immense
amount of capital and labor sunk .in
prospecting or mining for gold that
yield no return whatever. California
has been the grave of millions of dol
lars and unreckoned years of labor in
the pursuit of gold that yielded little or
no return, and the same is true of every
gold mining country in the world.
Counting the expense of fruitless pros
pectin9 and Improbable and abandoned
mines, it is safe To say that every dol
lars worth of gold produced in Cali
fornia represents at least dollars ont
lay in capital and labor, and probably a
good deal more. 1t is.sthis. combined

more or less Democratic talk about

but the adornment Of the cottage. Dur
ing this decline there has been no reduc-
tIon of wages. the larger demand for
the goods at the lower price making it
possible to pay high wages. Now it is
proposed TO cut down the duty and
make the competition nearly equal be-
tween goods made abroad by labor paid
one-third and ut most one-half the
wages paid in indianapolis. III the duty
is cut down Mr.. Landers says the wages
of the Indianapolis workm in the en-
caustic works must be reduced or the
shops must be closed.
The Journal calls attention to this
statement of Democratic Mr.. Landers.
1t is not made for political effect. but
because his industry and the welfare of
his employees are at stake. If the duty
is reduced the wages of one. two or
three hundred men must be cut down to
q point where the home product can
compete with the foreign. One, two or
three hundred men will have less money
to spend for the comforts of life. for the
purchase of homes. for the stock of
building associations. Gradually these
men must sink to the level of the COM
peting workman in Europe. But why
go on? The Journal showed, year
ago. that this would come if the Demo-
Gratis stood to their pledges.

THE PERFORMANCE OF MR.. LANDERs.

The performance of Mr.. Jackson Lam
ders before the Democratic ways and
means committee to protest against the
removal of the duty on encaustic tiles is
what may be called an improving spec
tacle. Mr.. Landers is Democrat. He
voted for Mr.. Cleveland. and he was
very happy because Mr.. Cleveland was
elected. But Mr.. Landers is engaged
in the Manufacture of encaustic tiles.
When the Mills bill was before Con-
gress. in 1888. Mr.. Landers hastened to
Washington to make q protest against
the reduced duty proposed in that meas
ure. The Democrats IN Congress turned
a deaf ear to his appeal. but Repub-
lican Senate stayed the Democratic
hand which would have ruined
Mr. Landers's industry. When Senate.
House and President were Republican
Mr.. Landers had no fear, because
Republican policy never strangled a
great industry. But now that Demo-
cratic Congress has been in session six
weeks, Mr.. Landers is obliged to- hasten
TO Washington TO beg of Democratic
Congress that his industry shall not be
destroyed. He made an argument to
the committee that is unanswcrable.
Since his company began TO make en-
caustic tiling the price has fallen from
75 cents to % cents square foot. 1t is
no longer the luxury of the mansion.

THE PATRIOTIC COURSE OF REPUBLICAN
C0EGRESsMEN.

The attitude of the Republicans in
Congress toward the repeal of the Sher-
man purchase law can but strengthen
public confidence in the party which
they represent. In the House the Re-
publicans were ignored from the outset
by the Democratic managers; yet they
sat. .or tho most part, In silence until
solidly gave their votes for the measure
which the interests of the country
seemed TO demand. Their votes against
the free-coinage proposition have re-
moved all possible danger from that
source. The President. in that un-
heard-of dispatch to the House congrat-
ulating his party upon the repeal. has
not disturbed them. Republican Sena-
tors, firm In the faith, are waiting, day
after day, with impatience, while the
free-coinage Senators waste days in
ridiculous speeches. to vote. Meantime
the President continues to declare his
ability to push the repeal bill through
the Senate. which, like the House, he
treats as subordinate branch of the
government. The Republican Senators,
if they should resent this officious inter-
ference of Mr.. Cleveland. could defeat
the measure, the repeal of which he will
claim as personal triumph. During
the weeks that Congress has been in
session the Republicans In both branches
have proved to the country that they
can be counted upon to stand for a sound
currency of entirely national character.
Meantime, who can pretend to predict
what Senators Voorhees,, Turpie and
other Democrats who are supporting
Mr.. Cleveland in return for offices will
do outside of vote to repeal the Sher-
man act2 Can any one pledge that they
will not vote to repeal the tax on State
bank circulation, or to provide for the
coinage of limited quantity of silver
dollars?
No one need be told what the Demo-
Gratis in Congress would do if the Re-
publicans were in power with a close
majority, because intelligent people
know what they have done. Except q
few in the Eastern States. the whole of
them would vote for free coinage bills.
They would present all sorts of dema-
gogic propositions, and by every means
in their power try to prevent action.
The contrast between the conduct of
the representatives of the two parties is
commended to those intelligent young
men who have been told that there is
no difference between Republicanism
and Democracy.

THE Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew has re-
turned to New York from Western
trip, and has been interviewed in regard
to the financial outlook. Promising that
it was difficult, IN the present condition
of the public mind. to discuss the tinan-
point without trenching on politics, he
said it was as plain as anything could
be tina: the great revival OF confidence
during the last twenty days was due to
the passage by the House, by an unex-
pectedly large majority, of the bill for
the repeal of the purchase clause of the
Sherman law, and it was equally plain
that the defeat of the measure by the
Senate would have a very injurious
effect. Referring to the tariff aspect of
the question, he said:
Itis due to absolute truth to say that al
the Western managers with whom | con-
versed, without regard to politics, declared
that the man ufacturing enterprises along
their lines were all subject TO the provi-
sions of the tariff. and. while thew would
resume II the currency and credit were
properly restored. they would do it IN the
most cautious anu conservative way. simply
TO Ineet demands from day tn day until
they knew what was To be the legislation
on the tariff question. In other words. the
depression would be followed by o oorre-
spending boom il thero was no apprehen-
sion in regard to tariff legislation. but
while that apprehension existed the manu-
fscturer would not put himself In the way
any moro than he could help. of tho IRON
shod toe of the free.traders boot.
This shows that the railroad mana
gers of the country understand the true
cause of the present business depres-
sion. A wise adjustment of the cur
rency may have a salutary effect, and
for time may quiet apprehension; but
the deep down cause of the hundreds of
mills closing and of the thousands and
thousands of workmen being thrown
out of employment during the last few
months is not the purchasing clause Of
the Sherman silver law. 1t is the want
of confidence in n Democratic Congress
to legislate wisely on the tariff question.
The Indianapolis journal., 1893-09-16

"THE people" says the st. Louis Re-
public, should not forget that we are
still living under the hard times pro-
tective tariff of the Republican party
The people will not forget that, for two
years after this tariff was passed, the
country enjoyed unexampled and unin-
terrupted PROSPERITY. and that trouble
did not begin until Democratic Presi-
dent and Congress were elected on a
platform which pledged the party to the
repeal of protection.
