Gan Atchison Globe printer, C. L. Mather,

Kinley during the war, says that the next
President served as cook at Headquarters
during the first few weeks after his enlist
ment. Mather was mustered out rs Captain
of Ce. G, of which Mckinley was First Lieu
tenant for time. Maiher says he does not
believe Mckinley ever carried musket; he
remembers seeing him bring up an ammu-
milton wagon at Antietam. and he was al

We have looked carefully over the
rolls of the 23d Ohio, and can find no
such name as C. L. Mather The
nearest approach to it are Cassius Ma

"SHERMAN'S INSANITY"

In this weeks instalment Gen. Sher-
man takes up the much-mooted story of
his insanity, and gives very full particu-
lars as to how the story originated, with
a full account of the famous interview
between him and Secretary of War
Cameron at Louisville, Ky. The minds
of the authorities at Washington were
then concentrated on McClellan's great
preparations in front of the National
Capital, and Fremont in Missouri.
Under McClellan's influence they were
disposed to look upon the great central
field in Kentucky as side-show, which
could be attended to after the others
were disposed of. Sherman's clear state
ment of the situation startled them, but
it awakened them to the true problem.
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1896-09-17

there cannot stand the competition, and
are gradually retiring from wheat-grow-
ing.
While the wheat supply has been
thus increased more than 400, 900, 900
bushels, the wheat-eating people have
not increased proportionately. Less
than one-fourth of the people Of the
world eat wheat. In 1885 the wheat
eating people were estimated at 1885,
100000, and in 1895 at 484,000,00O.
AS these consume an average Of ABS
bushels each a year, it will be seen that
the production rapidly outran the con-
sumption. For the period from 1881
to 1885 the average production was only
2.5 bushels per head per annum In ex-
cess of the consumption. In 1894 there
were 60 bushels per head produced
more than the people needed. This Is
what sent wheat prices to the bottom,
without hope of recovery, until the
world either produced less wheat or ate
more.
The obvious lesson of this is that we
must stop producing wheat for export,
raising only enough for home consump-
ton, and turn our attention to produc-
ton of those agricultural articles which
we can raise at home, and of which we
buy abroad more than S300,000,000
worth per annum. We lose money on
every bushel Of wheat that we send
abroad at present prices.
We did not read the speech referred
to, but we presume that Mr.. Hamilton
meant the money that our people have
invested in railroads and other proper
ties, the value of which would be very
effectually destroyed by Mr.. Bryans
election.

TRADE DOLLARS.

The shriekers over the "Crime of
1873" forget that the Act of Feb. II,
1873. which dropped the useless and
impracticable silver dollar from the list
of authorized coins, also authorized the
free coinage of trade dollar, which was
to be worth more than the old silver
dollar, since it contained 420 grains,
where the old dollar had but 4121a
grains. The object Of this was to pro-
mote trade with China, by offering them
an American dollar of superior value to
the Mexican dollar, of which the Chinese
are so fond. 1t was thought that great
results would follow this. It was made
legal tender to the amount Of S.. At
first there was little coinage. The
Chinese did not take any more kindly
to the American dollar than they had
done to the British, French, japanese
and other dollars which had been coined
for the same purpose Of superseding the
Mexican dollars. They would not even
take the Mexican dollars when the
Mexicans changed the design from the
old Observation-Disclosures
and the Mexicans had to 60 back to it.
But presently the price Of silver fell,
until there was profit in coming the
trade dollar for passage, in the United
States. Then the spectators rushed
their silver into the nrints, and there
was such food of trade dollars In the
country that the storekeepers began re-
fusing to take them for less than 10 per
cent. discount, and finally they refused
to take them at all. In 1876 Congress
limited the coinage to the amount needed
for export, but this did not remedy the
evil. The spectators would ship them
to China, bring them back again and
work them off on our people. March 8,
1887, Congress prohibited their further
coinage, and directed that those in the
country should be called in.

THE MAINE ELECTION.

The grand old State Of Maine has
spoken. and in no uncertain tones. She
has again justified her motto of "Lsazsgo,
i direct.-fo she has set an example
that will be followed by every State
north of the Ohio and the Potomac, and
east Of the Missouri, with West Virginia,
and Kentucky, south of the Ohio, and
Kansas, Nebraska, and the Dakotas
west Of the Missouri to keep them COM
pany.
1t is the most emphatic utterance that
the people of the State have made. By
plurality now put at $4,000, but which
will probably be much increased by later
returns, they have elected the Sound
Money candidate for Governor. This
is an unprecedented figure, and far be-
yond the brightest hopes of the Republi-
can managers. Chairman Manley's
preliminary canvas showed prospect OF
$4,000, but he hardly hoped to achieve
this.
The Popocrats canvassed the State
as thoroughly as the Republicans, and
were fully as alive to the Significance of
the result. They strongly hoped to re-
duce the majority to about $4,000.
They swamped the State with litera-
ture, and their orators made over 700
speeches. The victory is distinctly one
for Sound Money, for it is clear that the
Democrats by thousands voted the Re
publican ticket. The Republican vote
is $4,000 more than in 1894, showing
that everybody came out. The highest
plurality in any previous Presidential
year was $4,000, so that this is over
whelming.
In addition, the Republicans carried
every County in the State, they elected
every State Senator, and lao out OF the
Isl Representatives. This shows that
the farmers were as unanimous for Sound
Money as the workingmen.
The Representatives from Maine were
reelected by tremendously increased
pluralities. Reed, whose plurality in
1892 was LOO, now gets $4,000.
Boutelle, Dingley and Milliken do
equally well.
The skies are rapidly Frightening.

IF BRYAN SHOULD BE ELECTED.

If BRYAN SHOULD BE ELECTED.
The calamitous experience which fol-
lowed the election of Cleveland in 1892
would be intensified thousandfold.
Then only the manufacturers and
merchants took alarm at what might be
done in the way of tariff legislation
which would food our country with
foreign goods. Nobody wanted to
manufacture or buy anything until they
could see what Congress proposed to do,
and stagnation in business followed.
Ii Bryan should be elected everybody
would be certain that there would be
universal crash, which would directly
affect every interest in the country, from
the man who sells the milk of couple
of COWS to the railroads which traverse
the continent. Nobody would know
what the money for which he sells his
labor or bis products would be worth;
nobody would make a contract or en-
gagement Of any kind nobody would
lend any money, but every creditor
would press his debtor to the wall, fore
closing mortgages, forcing payment of
notes and accounts and squeezing settle
ments with feverish haste to get in shape
for the inevitable storm. The only
busy men in the country would be the
Sheriffs and agonized debtors, the one
selling property at any sacrifice so as to
realize something to help out the credit
ors, the others straining every nerve to
save themselves from absolute ruin.
Bryan could not be inaugurated for
four months, and some time would have
TO elapse before he could get Congress
together. When he did it would be
like the infamous SD Congress, which
was elected at the same time with Cleve
land, and which spent months in sense
less and fruitless speech-making, wild
eyed, impracticable cranks talking in
terminably while the country was per
ishing.
Between the time of Cleveland
election and the end of the first session
of the SD Congress the country los
more than the entire cost of putin,
down the rebellion.
This would not be 1.-THE of what th
country would lose in the event @
Bryan's election, and the widespread
misery would not be comparable.
We can prevent all this and brin
about an immediate return of prosperit
by electing Maj VIM. Mckinley.

THE WAY IT LOOKS TO Us.

After visit to the National Encamp-
ment, and conferences with representa-
tive comrades, who are pretty sagacious
judges of political conditions in their
several States, we come to the conclusion
that the situation at present is as follows:
