issue in question, and will thus de
clare itself hostile to the Cleveland
administration. Should the sound
money faction present weak front
in the convention the probabilities
are that they will give in without Il
fight and swing into line for the
sake of harmony, but the chances
are that the Francis Matfitt forces
will make a strong fight against
commitment. The majority will
be against them, however, and they
will either have to give in or else
make an open bolt. Among the
leaders of the factions there is al
ready considerable hard feeling on
account of personal ambitions and
they will try to do each other as
much harm as possible, and much
bitterness will be engcndcrcd which
will be taken up by their followers
and the fight carried on beyond
the convention into the campaign
of next year. Under such condi-
tons the result of the convention
will be aggravating to hostile
degree to one or the other of the
factions, and in this hostility lies
the opportunity of the Republicans.

IT is claimed by the "Rcpublic''
that imports were greater under
the Mckinley tariff law than they
are under the Wilson law. This is
not disputed, but the fact that this
is so, docs not provcthat the coun-
try is better off under the Wilson
than it was under the Mckinley
law, but the contrary. When our
people buy imported goods it
proves that they have money for
foreign luxuries and that they are
in prosperous condition. When
imports fall off there will also be q
decrease home manufactures.
Thus the Wilson tariff law cuts
both ways. First it disturbs home
industries to such an extent that
earnings of labor are reduced from
onc-third to one-half; and second
it reduces imports to such an extent
that the revenues of the country
do not meet the expenditures
Comparison is truly odious.

OF this the gold was not used as
money. An equally striking COM
parison might be instituted be-
tween the other gold and silver
countries. demonstrating that gold
is the standard wherever commerce
flourishes and prosperity prevails.
II prefer the the gold standard
for another and greater reason.
From the hour that God decreed
man should earn his living, by the
sweat of his brow, labor has been
the foundation on which the super
structure of human achievements
have been buildcd. There is not 8
silver standard country on the globe
where laboring men are paid wages
sufficient to support them in COM
fort and independence. The dis
parity between the wages paid
skilled labor Is great, but the dis
parity between the wages paid un-
skilled labor is greater, showing
the poor arc in a state of des-
titution in the silver standard coun-
tries which is pitiablc and that it
cuts off all opportunity for the I'M
provemcnt of their condition. A
laboring man in the United States
gets for days work nearly twice
us much in gold as laboring man
in Mexico gets in silver, the pur-
chasing power of American money
is nearl ly twice ;ss great as that of
Mexico. Draw the comparison
between England and Russia, or
even between heather Turkey,
which is gold country, and heath
en- China, which is a silver country,
and you will find the same result,
all of which goes to show that la
Dor can not earn good wages with
out the prosperity Of agriculture,
commerce and manufactures, and
these can not prosper without q
safe and reliable standard of value =

The signs of the times are that
the country is slowly recovering
from the business depression of the
past two years. Manufactures
are resuming operations, the prices
on commodities are going up, and
wages, too, are in some instances
being slightly increased, though
they are still far below where they
were few years ago. Another
Republican victory like that Of last
year will bring the country back
to its old time prosperity.

The FallaCies of Free Silver.

We publish below extracts fro
the speech of Hon. Josiah Patter-
son, of Memphis, Tenn, made be-
fore the Democratic Sound Cur
rcncy Club, of St. Louis, last
Thursday evening. Mr.. Patterson
is a Democrat and his audience was
composed mostly of men of the
same political faith. He was loud
ly applaudcd as he rounded each
telling point. We leave out some
immaterial portions of the address,
but substance of his argument is as
follows:
81 am here to speak in opposi
ton to the free, unlimited and indie
pendent coinage of silver. Lying
at the root of this discussion, are GER
tain truths which the people should
understand. For our convenience we
have certain standards by which
we measure time, distances, guam
titles and weight. These standards
arc arbitrarily fixed by law or by
immcmorial usage, and we con-
form to them. Money, as the stand
ard of value, differs from all
other standards in this, that it
must itself be a thing of value. We
have three kinds of money in the
United States-gold, silver and
paper money-but gold is the stand
ard money. Gold being the stand
ard, not only does it serve as a
measure of all values, but it fixes
the purchasing power of all other
kinds of money. How far the use
of gold as money for so many ages
has affected its value as a COM
modify would be matter of spec
ulation and conjecture. This how
ever, we do know, that the free
coinage of gold, as we find it, does
not affect its present value as. a
commodity. 1t only has the effect
to guarantee to the world that a
coin which carries the genuine
stamp Of the Government contains
a certain quantity of gold, and the
commercial world accepts this as
true. However, the purchasing
power of a coin does not depend on
the stamp, but on the quantity
of gold contained in it. Our gold
dollar contains 1922 grains of
pure gold, and its purchasing
power equals the value of purchas-
ing power of that number of grains:
no more and no less. If the Gov
ernmcnt should reduce the number
of grains onc-half the dollar would
have only half the purchasing
power of the present dollar; or, il
it should double the number OF
grains, then the dollar would have
twice the purchasing power.
Gold is the standard in. the
United States, and silver is the
standard in Mexico, and what have
just said about gold in this country
applies with equal force to silver
in that. The purchasing power o.
the standard dollar in Mexico il
measured precisely by the com
mercial value of the silver it con
tains, just as our standard dollar i.
is measured by the commercial
value of the gold it contains
Compared with our money. th'
Mexican dollar is worth 53c. Will,
{ our gold dollar is worth 100c
Melt our gold dollar and the bul
. lion is worth a 100c. and melt tn
2 Mexican dollar and the bullion i
worth 53c of our money. Not St
with our silver dollar. While
contains less silver than the Mexi
can dollar it has the purchasin!
power of a standard gold doi!a,

A LONG RIDE.
Three weeelmen Enroute From Fort Worth to Chicago Pass Through
 Pine BIuT

Last evening about GEO o'clock, over the St. Louis Southwestern railroad from the South, three bicycle riders rode their wheels into Pine Bluff They stop ped for the night at Che Arlington Hotel, and GRAPHIC reporter having seen them pass down the street and noticed from their sun Drowned skins and general appear ance that they comefrom a distance, sought an interview with the stan gers.
 They proved to be from Fort Worth and were enroute to Chicago. The names of the young gentlemen were O. H. Van Renselear, Max Nor ris and c. $. Fox, names that are well known among wheelmen from the Lone Star State, as Mr. Morris is the champion bicycle rider of Texas and now weares innumerable medals which attests his victories on the wheel. Mr. Van Renselear is also a rider ofnote, MT. Fox is q trainer. The young gentlemen appared to be in perfect health and seem to be enjoying their trip hugely. They left Fort Worth on September 4th, and have been taking it by easy stages ever since, being satified with making from thirty to sixty mile per day, as they say that they are in no hurry and are merely making the ride for pleasure and novelty.
 They are riding the famous Monarch" bicycles. The one rode by Van Renselear is a 17-pound wheel while those rode by Fox and Morris weigh 9 pounds each. The wheels, notwithstanding the rough usage given them, are in perfect condition. The wheelmen left Pine Bluff at an earlyI hour this afternoon for Mem phis, still going up the Cotton Belt.
