Fifth-So, too, if the American silver
dollar lost its legal tender quality when
it passed into Mexico it would fall in
value to that of a mere commodity, pre-
cisely as the Mexican dollar falls on

Second-Under former coinage laws
the coins Of foreign governments were
made a legal tender for their nominal
value, and while that provision of the
statutes remained in force they circu-
lated at their par value, relative to
American coin, and without discount,
and they only fell below that par and
to their bullion value, when their legal
tender quality was refused them by the
laws OF the United States.

which the sound money Democrats are
majority, had taken charge. of the
party organization, declared for
Palmer and Buckner and let the silver
men go if they would. OF course, we
understand Why this policy was not
pursued. These sound money Demo-
Gratis know that Mr.. Bryan is going to
be beaten in November by majority
SO phenomenal that you will not be
able to find Democrat willing to con-
fess that he voted for him. They rea-
son that it is better to leave the party
organization intact and merely with
draw from its councils for one cam
paign. They are going to vote for
Palmer or Mckinley according to
their convictions of what is best for
themselves and endeavor to bring back
the great Democratic party to first
principles. You will not hear any more
about free silver In Democratic state
conventions in the East one or two
years from now than you will about
secession
The objection to this policy and the
difficulty with which it will meet is
that it will be impossible in large
number of states to rehabilitate the
Democracy under that name after it's
complete fusion with Populism. There
is no Democratic party in good part
of the West today. Nothing is left Of
it but lump in the stomach of Pop
ulism. The Democrats who have ac-
cepted the Peoples party doctrine as
to money and law and order will stay
with them. Those who have not will
| turn naturally to the National Democ-
racy and be faithful to it. The reor-
ganization of party lines that will
eventually take place after this cam
paign will find in the field three par
ties only contending for supremacy;
the National Democratic, the Republi-
can and the Peoples party. 1t would
tend to clear the air and to facilitate
the Encouragement if the great states
that are sure to align themselves with
the National Democracy later on were
placed in their proper relations
to it today. The policy of
the New York leaders is one
only Of postponing what Is sure
to come. Free silver is going to be
beaten badly enough, whether you
give it rope or not. The rallying of all
Democratic forces about the National
Democratic standard is what we have
to look to for the future, and that, to
our mind, can be promoted and ex-
pedited most by supporting it's ticket
openly and unhesitatingly in this cam
paign.

The value Of gold and silver with re-
lation to each other Is fixed at this
time by the common consent of the
entire civilized world, and even of free
silver countries like Mexico, at about
80 to /. at which ratio they pass cur
rent. The mental condition of all of
these people, except small number in
the United States, who really think
that legislation can change values.
would remain just the same after the
free coinage act as 1t is now There
fore, the relative values of gold and
silver, which are fixed by this mental
appreciation, would remain the same.
If Mr.. Claggett thinks the matter over
carefully, he will doubtless reflect that
'the desire of the American people is
rather a loose term; that the desire
to see an event brought to pass is not
an economic factor, but is a very diff
ferent thing from the desire to pos
sess a commodity; and that the COM
mon consent of the civilized world,
which fixes values in this case, includ-
ing decided majority of the American
people, no matter how this election
might go, would continue to fix values,
and would leave silver practically
where it is today.

Mr.. CIaggett Takes Up the CudxeIs
for Free Silver.

To the Editor Of the Globe
In your editorial in today's paper CRITICS.
ing Mr.. Lind's letter of acceptance you make
a dangerous admission, which kills the force
OF your argument against Mr.. Lind's posi-
ton at once. / quote, "YaIue depends on
mental appreciation and desire" You have
told the truth this time do not try to claim
that supply and demand make value as
Mr.. r. G. Horn for instance, would not adj
no. Supply and demand labor cost. etc..
make value" he said / contend that human
desire makes value, and that what seventy
millions of free people desire to have silver
be worth 1t will be worth, because they will
make market for 1t at the mint in produce
exchange
You will answer me that the wealthy
classes will not desire to have the silver
worth 100 cents. l answer you that coin
the bond holder will be worth exactly the
proportional amount silver dollar is worth
II is easy to guess about his desire In that
case. National banks would come under the
same ruling; also the holders of countless
millions of American debts would be I'm the
same boat There Is no question what their
desire would be. Consequently, I say you
admit Mr.. Lind's argument when you say
that desire makes value. That Is all we
claim that the desire of the American peo-
pie, expressed In this election by electing
a free coinage law, according to our consti-
tuition, "To coin and issue money and
tablish the value thereof" will place silver
on a. parity with gold at 16 to l.
Thanking you for the admission that human
desire establishes value, / am yours.

Meighen. 1T should be remembered
that the votes of the Populists elected
Congressman Wilson, a Democrat, over
his Republican opponent and that the
same thing was repeated when Capt.
Harries ran the first time The Demo-
Gratis are stronger today and the Popu-
lists more numerous than they were
then. Then too, we have acquisitions
from the ranks of Republicans All
this insures Republican defeat in the
First district this fall, and the election

Now it is in order for the Third dis
trict congressman to say something

GIVING THEM ROPE.

The policy followed by the Demo-
Gratis of New York state is in line with
that of every other state, as far as we
are aware, except Connecticut. This
is to allow the supporters of the Chi
cago platform and nominees to take
charge, for this occasion, of the local
campaign without serious opposition.
This is not because they are in a ma
jority. They are so, of course, in the
Southern and some of the Western
states. But everybody knows that the
Democratic party of New York state
contains five sound money men TODAY
for every one who believes in or would
vote for the free coinage of silver. It
follows that, if the sound money DEM
ocrats so desired, they could run the
state convention at their pleasure. For
example, no one doubts for one mo-
ment that If Senator Hill and Mr.
sheehan and Bourke Cochran and
John X. Fellows, and a number Of
others who are powerful in state poli-
tics and have declared themselves in
favor of honest money, should make
the effort. they could control the state
convention. The same situation
was shown In PENNSYLVANIA
where it was found, when the
convention that met at Allen
town, declared for sound money and
adjourned until after the Chicago con-
vention, had reassembled at Harris
burg that only one-third of the origin
al delegates, were present The balance
had deliberately absented themselves
IN order that they might not be en-
oarrassed by having either to come
out for Bryan and free silver. or turn
the organization Of the Democratic
party against the candidates who are
now masquerading under it's name
This is the policy of giving them rope
enough to hang themselves.
For ourselves, we do not think that
the policy is wise one. The National
Democracy has come to stay. 1t rem
resents the principles that these men
really believe. 1t is the party of the
future. It is going to be in power i'm
this country by the end of the CEN
fury. 1t would be much better. in our
opinion, If the political managers in
New York and Pennsylvania and New
Jersey. and q score of other states In

HOW MANY FARMERSY

The statistics of the census of 1890
are very faulty on this point. as on
most others. In 1880, out of a popula-
ton of 5O,e0O,00O people, 17,4O0000 were
engaged in gainful occupation. OF
these A per cent were employed in
agriculture. The number of males
above the age Of twenty-one was 10

MORE SLUSH.

Mr.. Bryan, having got away from
the. interval of sober reflection that
overlook him on Labor day. is pouring
out again to st. Louis audiences the
watery stuff that he has dealt in lib
orally in-his rear platform" circuit
around the country. Listen to him.
Speaking of the financial question. he
says:
I assume, in the first place, that every
American citizen is competent to form an
opinion upon this issue. There Is no question
which can come before the American people
which is too deep for the American people
themselves. There is no question which must
be submitted to a particular class of people.
The Creator did not make any class of the
people to think for the rest of the people.
This reminds us of the campaign in
which Mr.. ]. SIoat Fassett tried to
gain votes in New York by taking off
his coat, while on the platform deliv-
ering a speech, and calling for a glass
of beer in order to show that he was
himself one of the horny-handed and
in full sympathy with their customs.
He simply Disguised every sensible
and right-thinking workingman in his
audience, and that performance cost
him good many thousand votes. This
rot, with which Mr.. Bryan tries to
f1atter and cajole his audiences. can
affect only the most ignorant It Is
an open insult to every man Of even
ordinary intelligence among them.
The money question IS an economic
question. 1t is a question to be inves-
tigated and passed upon by scientific
methods after the most careful study
of history and experience. Suppose Mr..
Bryan had told his audience that every
man of them was as competent as any,
body else to calculate the orbit of
comet, or to furnish from his own
computations the date of the next
solar eclipse. Suppose he had said that
the great American people are per-
1ectly competent to obtain electricity
direct from coal without the interview
ton of steam. Suppose he had said
that 1t is a denial of equality to as
sumo that one American sovereign
knows better than another how to run
0ei'o VI IypeSelIlng ma
chine or dynamo. His hearers would
have hooted at him for plastering over
them such particularly imbecile form
of f1attery as this. Yet we are told
that there was great applause" when
he made statement precisely paraI-
lei and just as ridiculous, to the effect
that any old intelligence can solve the
financial question off-hand. Leaving
out OF the question the possibility of
Mr.. Bryan's election, it is a sorry and
humiliating spectacle to have a man
who can talk like this even running
for the presidency, and making us
ridiculous in the eyes of all sensible
men at home and abroad.
