THE SILVER LUNACY.

We copy the following from a
speech delivered by Gen. w. w. Grout
in the House of Representative Feb.
2Sth, 1896.
Authorize free coinage at the ratio
of 16 to and silver would at once be-
come the standard of value. Gold
would instantly go into hiding. Every
dollar would disappear from circula-
ton and would become an article of
merchandise, worth twice its former
value, not in the markets of the
world, but here in the United States,
when measured by the silver standard.
And this is how free coinage would
affect the poor mans money, which is
confessedly silver, as his transactions
are all small, and how also it would
affect the rich mans money, which is
said to be gold; and much has been
said on this point, as though the poor
mans money would De benefited by
free coinage.
But it will at once be seen that while
the international value of gold would
remain right where it is now, it's local
value would be somewhat enhanced
by it's attitude as a commodity, al
ways desirable, and also because it is
at the same time money which those
engaged in foreign transactions must
surely have, while silver, no longer
kept eqal with gold, would go straight
to its commercial value, one-half
what it is now; and who fails to see
that it would be not the rich man and
his money, but the poor man and his
money that would be placed most at
a disadvantage?
But in the grand collapse that would
surely follow the contraction by with
drawing S579, 400, ,9O7 of gold from our
circulation and in adjusting values to
the new standard the poor and rich
would suffer alike, but the poor would
suffer most. The workingman, paid
in money of half value, whose pur-
chasing power has been reduced by
one half, could make himself whole
only by having his wages doubled;
but how long would he have to work
and wait before his employer could be
got up to the point Of paying him 50
per day instead of 81 as nowl In the

the small savings Of the working man
and woman and the small yearly bal
ances of the farmer and mechanic,
amount to $29, ,43O, ,697, an6 in the
whole United States to 81 $40, ,597, ,223.
Now, if this country were to go to a
silver standard, every dollar of this
vast sum, which when deposited, was
as good as gold, would be worth but
30 cents to the depositor. Then there
is the untold amount due from life in
surance companies, aggregating to
thousands of millions, every dollar Of
which thus far paid to the companies
in premiums was of full value, but if
on silver basis when paid out to the
widows and orphans at such time as
death would claim the husband and
father it would be a. 50-cent dollar.
The pensioners dollar would be worth
but SO cents; and so illustrations
might be multiplied to show that the
evils of deprecated currency would
fall heaviest, not on the wealthy, but
on those of slender means.

AS was expected and confidently
predicted Alabama has been counted
for the Democratic ticket by ma
jority whose size depends wholly on
the wishes of the counters. 1t may
stop at 4O, 1000, or it may go up to 140,-
600. The number of votes cast has
absolutely nothing to do with the
case. The vote manipulators in each
voting precinct will return as many
votes for the Democratic candidates
and as few for the Populist candidates
as it seems to them the cause of pure
Democracy demands, and the result
as a whole will give a Democratic
preponderance above or below the

ance of the zeal of the election Of

Clara Barton's letter from Constan-
tinople, under date of June %, IS very
gratifying to the sympathizers with
stricken Armenia. It shows that much
has been accomplished for the good
of the people under the ministrations
of the Red Gross. The work is in
tensily practical, it would seem, and
SO efficacious. So efficient has been
the medical work that, where eight or
ten thousand people were found suf-
fering from disease, with death rate
of 100 day, the physicians have left
the localities with only the ordinary
amount of illness. Seed has been
sown in desolated fields and employ
ment and food provided for thousands.
Spinning wheels and looms have pro-
vided for the women, and that worst
pest of all, idleness, has been practi-
cally destroyed.

THE SUPREME COURTS PLACE
IN POLITICS.

| of this country that the result of this
election shall put an end forever to
the fearfully revolutionary practice
of calling for a reversal at the polls
of Supreme Court decision. This is
not because Of any special deposit of
wisdom or justice in the bosoms of
the members of that Court 1t is be-
cause the chief differentiation be-
tween this and all other democratic
experiments in government, and
that which has contributed to its
marvellous success, is in the agree
ment of the American people that
from the judgment of this one tribu-
nal there shall be not only no appeal
but no formal dissent. It is the re-
cognized constitutional quietus.
So marked has been the acquies
cence in this theory Of the Supreme
Courts functions that when the
whole North was boiling with resent
ment at the Dred Scott decision, a
resentment which grew through
every one Of the four years between
it and the breaking out of war, the
republican platform of 1860 made alb
solutely no reference to that famous,
or as many thought, Infamous, die
tum of Taney's. This was, of course,
because these intensely almost fanat-
ically, earnest but clear headed and
law abiding men recognized that the
Supreme Court had infallibly inter
preted the Constitution as it was.
Their next move, they knew perfect
ly well, was to change the Constitu-
ton, This they did by the insertion
Of the Thirteenth Amendment four
years after.
Had such men been in control of
the Chicago convention their course
would have been to propose new
amendment embodying the principle
of the income tax Then the matter
would have come before the country
for due and orderly argument, to
which no one could have excepted.
But such men were not in control of
the Chicago convention. Raving an
archists, ignorant of our laws and
precedents, were in control of the
Chicago convention, and SO, infatu-
Gus blindness, as well as in mad re-
bellion, they, instead of choosing
this mild and reasonable course of
arriving at their end, took the vio-
lently revolutionary and utterly un-
necessary way of assailing the Court
and threatening the removal of it's
members. That was the fatality of
the conventions personal makeup,
the ineradicable defect of it's quail
ties.
The impeccability of the Supreme
Court in party campaigns at the
tongues of partisan critics is the
sheet anchor not only of our property
rights but of our personal liberties.
The Constitution points out way
for the people, who are above the
Supreme Court, to reverse it's deci-
sions. 1t is to amend the Cons titu-
ton.

Now the result is that we have paid
much more than we could afford for
an increase in our expectations of
manufactured products. A great
volume of goods has been sold abroad
far below the cost because they could
not be sold here at any price and the
makers were obliged to realize upon
them, and as nation we are the
poorer for having made them. Ger
tainly our foreign sales have not sery-
ed to make us prosperous, for the
past year, in which, as the figures
show, they were larger than ever be-
fore, was the hardest in the whole

From 1880 to 1890 the amount of

The silverites describe all fall of
prices to the white metal. Wheat is
the favorite illustration, and the sill
yer advocates point with pride and
industry to many comparisons be-
tween the rates for wheat and the
rates for silver, for years and years.
An exchange offers a bicycle price
comparison. Three years ago first
class bicycles were sold at S135. This
very year the high priced wheels are
built and sold at $50. There has been
no silver legislation one way or the
other within the time comprehended
by the most extended shrinkage of
bicycle prices. The demand for BIZ
cycles is increasing. More factories
are being established. Large capital
and valuable machinery are being
employed. Yet the price has been
continuously in favor of the buyers,
and there is no silver policy nor legis-
lation to account for it. There must
be something wrong with bicycle
prices or with the silver theory.
Either bicycles are an exception to
the rule, or the silver theory don't go
on wheels.

1t is true, as Mckinley says, that
Republican principles are such that
they can be submitted with safety
and confidence to the intelligence of
the educated men of the country"
That has always been one of the
party's sources of strength and sue
cess. In other words, it is party
that has always had logic and wisdom
on its side, and that has never cater
ed to ignorance and folly for the pro-
motion of its interests. The man who
belongs to it is not obliged to resort
to any kind of sophistry to justify his
position. He has sound reasons to
give for the faith that he processes,
and his vote is cast on the basis of the
best facts in American politics.
