The Money Question,


ers, to Democrats, Republicans,
Populists and every other form of
citizen known in the state and
country, the address of the Demo-
cratic state committee on the mon
ey question. 1t is one of the most
comprehensive, pointed and in
structive papers that has been writ
ten on this subject during the last
twenty years. Itdoes credit to the
writer's, to the party and to the
state.
1t is not that the election this
fall is certain to decide the ques-
tion of the free coinage of silver,
but 1t may do it, If there should be
two-thirds majority in the house
and the senate. Then free coin.
age law should be passed without
the presidents signature and in
spite of his veto; hence 1t is impor-
tant that n copy of this address
should be placed in the hands of
every voter in the state of Ohio be-
fore the next election. tits almost
impossible to give resume of this
address; it is so free from veribage,
so clear in its diction, so plain in
its statements, and so sound in its
logic that it should be read as a
whole. 1t is full of quotable pass
ages, but it is almost impossible to
condense any one of them.
If there be one thing that ought
to sting an American, it is that Sec
tion in which it alludes to the sub
mission of the United States to the
dictation of England on the money
question. 1t says GAS true Amer
leans we should be amazed to hear
that no money is good money un-
less 1t be the money of Great Brit
ain. That whenever England says
that we may use silver as full
legal tender money, that we may
do so, and that when she says so,
silver should be good American
money. Is it not absurd that 10
100000 of intelligent people should
submit their entire business to the
dictum of any foreign govern
ment" We say it would be just as
absurd for this country to ask
Great Britain for the privilege OF
speaking the English language as
to ask her what kind of money
shall be used in our country.
There is another very pointed ex.
preston in which the address, re.
ferring to the advocates of the sin.
gle gold standard who are constant.
iy talking of an honest dollar, says
"Accerding to them, then, as we
have shown that gold has continu.
ally appreciated in value for TWEEN
ty years, dollar is only honest
when it is increasing in purchasing
power; when it is enlarging its
grasp over products of labor; when
exacting more from the debtor than
he contracted to pay and giving
more to the creditor than he agreed
to receive. We claim that an hon
est dollar is one that at the dat,
of payment shall have no greater
control over human efforts than i
, had when it was borrowed. II
other words, an honest dollar is tn,
dollar which robs no man. The golt
dollar today has purchasing pow
er of so per cent. greater than tn
, same dollar had in 1873. Was thu
gold dollar of twenty years ago ,
dishonest dollar? And is it today
, so per cent. more honest than i
| was then, it being at both period
Of precisely the same weight ant
, fineness ?"

a Lasting rastr.


She Is a stout, apple-cheeked old
woman who is known to a vast number
of persons rs "auntie." She carries a
large basket of deadly-looking candies
and more healthy-looking fruit
through various downtown offices,
where she disposes of it. She is a
cheerful in spite of the fluctuations in
trade and perishab BILE nature of fruit.
The other day one of her customers
admired the streaked effect Of an apple
and auntie delivered herself Of a
statement.
"Yis," she sail; "it's right ye are.
An apple is putty thing when 1t amt

properly impressed by the old apple
woman's description Of an "applt
tree whose boughs are bent with thick
set fruit"

and Bitter Fight.

HELENA, April 3.-The canvass in an
ticipation Of yesterdays city election
was in many respects the most bitter
ever known in local election here. Re
garding the democratic and republican
candidates for mayor. some very uncom-
plimentary passes we're exchanged IN the
newspapers. and several intensely per.
sonal allusions were printed. Broad in
timations respecting the official integ
rity Of the republican candidate were
thrown out, and the questions thus
raised are likely to raise personal issues
to be settled hereafter. The result Of
the days work is the overwhelming de-
feat OF Bach, the democratic candidate
for mayor. 1t is 30 disastrous a defeat
that his friends at this hour are not able
to account for it-he only polled 727
votes. and was bad third in the race,
the candidates Of the populists being
second. while Weed, the republican. was

over his combined rivals. The demo

One of the neatest and most adroit
compliments ever turned out was
probably that Of Cresus to Candy
ses. That harebrained monarch once,
when the Persians and Cresus were
sitting with him, asked what sort of
q man they thought hum compared
with his father Cyrus. The Persians,
of course, like good courtiers, replied
that he was better than his father.
for he had all Cyrus possessions and
Egypt and the sea as well. Thus
spoke the Egyptians. Cresus, how
ever, not being pleased with their
opinion, spoke as follows: Now, TO
me. o son Of Cyrus, you do not seem
equal to your father, for you have
not such a son as he left behind him
in you. u."-Westminster Review.

been discovered are unfortunate. because
In a close contest they might have
given the election TO one when another
was really elected. and the truth might
very well never be ascertained after
result is announced. But. thought unfor-
tunate, they belong to the class OF acct
dents and not TO that Of fraud. We can
stand anything so long as there is an
intention to act justly and give every
man his unrestricted right 70 vote, and
have his vote counted as cast.
Tho primary election is absolutely In
dispensable to good government in this
city. Ward meetings give us, without
fall heelers for rulers. The primary
may not produce rulers that satisfy
or 3. but Il gives the average sense Of
the voters. and that is what representa-

last primary, too. with It's immense vote
proved now to have been entirely fair
