Sound Money Man."

The phrase Sound money man" will be
often heard during the educational cam
paign on finance now opening in the United
States, and it is well to understand just what
it means. A sound money man wants
this country to have a currency that will be
good all over the world be does not favor
gold any more than silver, if the world, with
which our country does a large business, Will
only agree on a ratio between the two. The
only reason that he favors gold j. that the
European countries that take our wheat and
pork and tobacco use the gold standard, and
if We want to do business with them we must
recognize the fact. He does not believe hat
the United States, which largely needs and
uses European capital in its development, Is
able to discard that aid, which it would
have to do If our obligations were made pay
able in silver. If the monetary conference
TO be held in Europe should agree on a dou-
HE standard no m2n would be more pleased
than the Sound money man" He is lot
opposed to silver aud would welcome its
adoption BY the world as heartily as the
most enthusiastic silver man but be can
not understand how the United States,
standing alone, can make Europe from
which she is a steady borrower accept fifty
cents worth of silver bullion as a dollar
simply because she has stamped it as such
The Sound money mans" opponents in
the educational campaign will probably be
simply called silver men. They hold that
we can 20 it alone, without Europe or any
body else that the government stamp on a
piece of silver makes it worth a dollar with
out any further to do about it, no matter
what the cost of it might be in bullion
that we have used the double standard in
the past and that we propose TO try 1t
on, no matter what the rest of the world
does, or what breaks.-ISaunto Nndicafor.

An ohiect lesson IN silyer.

Under this head the Philadelphia Times
gives a brief but lucid explanation of a lit.
tie financial transaction that is now com
handing great public attention. The OBJ
iect lesson is 80 plain that there can be no
mistaking It's meaning. The Times says:
Nicaragua offers a shining example just
now to the delights Of free silver. Great
Britain wants to collect a claim of $4,000
and it is said the government of Nicaragua
could pay the face value Of tho bill but it
would take $2l5, 600 in the silver coin OF the
country to buy a bill of exchange on Lon
don for $4,000, and this is more than the
Nicaraguan revenues could stand"
"The monetary standard in Nicaragua is
the old, fashioned silver dollar, a little light
er than the present silver of the United
States. It is legal tender in Nicaragua, and
parts adjacent, but it doesn't go across the
water, and when there are outside accounts
to be settled it is worth about So cents"
"This is the kind Of money that our silver
friends would like to see prevailing in the
United States. They expect to bring about
an international agreement by which such
a dollar would be everywhere accepted at
its face value. Nicaragua, 10 doubt, and
the Central American States generally,
would Join in such an agreement, but the
probability of its acceptance by European
nations, or any others having a modern sys-
TEN of currency may be easily gue,sed."-
Stanton Ners.

Couldn't Delirer the Goods.

Representative Tawney, ofMinnesota, who
is spending a few days in Washington, is of
the opinion that the sentiment favorable to

the ratio of l6 to l is not so widespread as

Judge, it is not making much Roadway. The
CRY of the s~ilyerite reminds me of the fellow
in Duluth who, after walking about the
swamps that used to surround the town, went
to a hotel keeper and wanted to sell him a
car load of frogs legs.
"rBut, l don't want a car load, said the
landlord 4 can't use them
"'Well, take a wagon load, then the
Spectator urged.
"'Auyhow, you can use a bushcl'
"'All right bring in a bushel'
"The next day the seller appeared with a
little paper bag, which on inspection was
found to contain just four frogs legs.
"'I thought you said you could get a car
load the landlord remarked.
az did, the fellow replied in a mournful
tone. 4 thought from the noise they made
that the swamps were fall Of en-, but these
were all l could catch
That's the way the hunt for these silver
men will turn out" concluded Mr, Tawney.

The Democratic Party Must stand for a
Good Dollar.

The Democratic party has from its foun-
dation claimed 10 be the w~Orkingman's par
ty, the party of the plain people. Ifitisto
continue to be worthy of that name 1t must
make a stand for a good dollar. The labor
er should receive for his daily wage money
Of the highest purchasing power, and which
will be accepted at its face value in every
land. When the farmer takes his wheat to
the mill he should receive l00-cent dollars
for it and not 50-cent dollars. It is the duty
Of the Democratic party to see to it that he
does get good money. If the party is false
to this trust, if it is 10 be led off into the
camp Of the Populists by false leaders, then
the end Of a historic party will soon CONF
and it will 90 down under a load Of public
contempt. And above all things the party
must be bold. The people admire courage
and hate cowardice or shrinking or strad-
ding or time-serving.
The St. Paul Call says: Some timid
Democrats are fearful that the present dis
agreements in the party will result in It's
overthrow. Their fears will be realized if the
issue is met in s cowardly spirit, but if the
defenders Of Democratic money are true to
themselves and their convictions the party
will emerge from the conflict stronger and
better than ever before. For there are tens
of thousand Of Republicans who are watch
ing the conflict with a keen interest. They
are ashamed of the cowardly policy Of their
own leaders, aud will gladly ally themselves
with the Democracy if il shall take an un
equiyocsl stand upon the money question.
The accessions from this class will be far
greater, ia influence aud numbers, than the
losses than will result from the desertion OF
those who believe in a currency that is cheap
aud abundant"
