We have had occasion TO remark that
our people have fewer amusements than
any other civilized people on the face Of
the earth. That "All work and no play
makes Jack 1ull boy" is a mere axiom.
We do not advocate numerous all-day
holidays; we have enough Of them now.
The true philosophy is to mingle pleasure
with business, so that they Will har-
monte in one continuous flow. without
the breaks and discord which is produced
by a saturnalia.
II there is one popular pleasure more
innocent and refining than another it is
music. and yet in this we are a hundred
years behind other people to whom we
would In nothing else yield the palm OF
superiority. Is there anything more
delightful than the air of a soft summer
evening filled with delicious music. fall

men. women and children. relaxed from

THEY ARE DONE WIN M'KINLEY.

The Philadelphia Times has sized up
ing article:
THE Ohio Republican State Convention
has given Governor Mckinley terrific
bra!n-out as d candidate for President.
True, he has the expression Of the State
Convention in favor Of his candidacy,
and he viii have a delegation nominally
pledged TO his support, but 1t Is as OBJ
vious to the world as Is the unclouded
sun al monday that the Ohio delegation
will not be for Mckinley except in a
pcrfunctory way, and that IT will be sub
jet 10 orders from Ex-Governor Foraker
who Is not Mckiney's friend. We havo
not regarded Governor Mckinley as a
promising candidate for the Republican
nomination for President next year Even
If he had his State earnestly In his favor
his nomination would not be probable
and we doubt whether il would be pos
sibie under any circumstances likely to
arise.
THE nomination OF Mckinley would be
square committal Of the Republican
party 10 the Mckinley tariff that was
condemned by "A full million and a half
majority OF the American people at the
election ia 1922. More intelligent and dis
Greet Republican leaders In every section
OF the country admit that they cannot
return 10 the Mckinley tariff, and with
him as the candidate OF the party no
platform that could be adopted would
reiete the party Of the crushing load
OF Mckinley.sm Thus even with The
most cordial support Of Ohio. Governor
Mckinley could have little If any chance
Tor success in the next Republican ma
tional convention.
With Foraker Governor and other
state officers elected in November. as
they VIII be, and with Foraker elected to
the senate in January, as now seems in
evitable. Mckinley's attitude as q nation
al candidate must be dwarfed TO unim-
portant proportions. and his defeat I'm
me national convention will be generally
accepted as absolutely certain"
We entirely agree with the Philadel-
phla Times that the Republican party
Will not nominate Mckinley, for the rea-
son that 1t would be a declaration TO the
country that It proposed to go back to
the Mckinley tariff. and It knows the
country will not stand that.
But Is not this a confession that the
principle of protection is an unsound
one? The Mckinley bill gave real and
cinclent protection to American manu-
facturers. and that is what they should
have II there is to be protection at all.
When the Republican party takes pains
to tell the American people that it will
never again attempt 20 fasten the Nc
kinley bill upon them, is that not equiva-
liant TO its telling the people that "pro-
lection is not sound and healthy prin-
ciple? We so read 1t, and If protection
should go as to manufactures il should
20 as TO all other things. including SUI
pervision Of currency. Oh! for the day
when the citizen is once more allowed
to manage his own affairs in his own
way, without inspection. aid or advice
from his government.

They have out now something like a.
10000 OF their notes. uncovered by specie.
but they have at their back an enormous
sum OF sound assets. The notes are really
as sound. therefore. ss notes can be, and
they are of an inestlmable advantage TO
tho people around the banks that issue
them. and they are entirely free from
panics. Yet none Of these notes will cir
crlate IN Great Britain one hundred
miles away from their homes. They are at
a small discount away from their place
OF issue. Now why should the people in
those localities be deprived Of the adyan-
tages In their use. because people one
hundred miles away don't want them?
We all recollect. too. the terrible panic
we had in 1873. Our entire currency then
was national currency-"as good in
one State as in another''-and yet that
fact did not avert the panic, as we shall
show later on.
We shall go on with this subject Tues
day.

HOW TO SECURE SOUND FINANCES
FOURTH ARTICLE.

We closed yesterday with the remark
that, having shown that the Constiiu-
ton intended that the only money in
this union should be metallic money.
coined by the United States Government.
and that the only paper currency should
rest upon private resources, under prl-
vate management. we would proceed 10
show that this is the only true theory
OF finance.
"hen paper currency rests upon the
credit OF the Government. State or ma
tionai. IT goes, when resting upon the
credit OF the General Government. from
one end OF the nation to the other; and
when resting upon State credit, from one
border OF the State TO another where. in
both cases always provided. the credit is
good and the paper redeemable I'm coin

evitable tendency grows up amongst the
people 10 look upon such currency not

money-but as money itself, and as II
goes out and circulates amongst the
people, the view OF one becomes The view
OF all. AS that tendency grows. coin
wtthdraws itself from use. and after a
while one OF those conditions Of public
feeling that we call panic spreads all
around amongst the people; an untoward
accident makes an explosion: everybody
realizes at once that their paper money
Is not money; all want TO exchange IL
for the coin that has disappeared at the
Same moment. and all the ruin and de-
vastation OF a general financial panic is
brought on the land.
But when a paper currency rests upon
the credit of private resources. under
