year in advance of its utterance what
the Republican platform of 1860 would
be, and the whole world knows now,
and has known for year past, what
the Republican platform of 1896 will be.
Then the battle was to arrest the
spread Of slave labor in America; now
it is to prevent the increase of lily paid

On the great questions still unsettled,

alterable. On the subject of protection
to American labor and American inter-

the Lincoln platform of 1860. 1t needs
neither amendment nor elaboration.
Here is what it said:

policy requires such an adjustment OF
these imports as to encourage the dc.

send you today my customary report of
the stores of gold and silver in sight in the
various countries on June 80. 1896. Figures
could not be had in all cases for the exact
period, but very careful estimates, taking
into consideration the actual conditions in
the respective countries. were placed at
my disposition.
For instance. the only detailed figures
available for the stores of the Bank of
England are those of December 1895. given
me by the governor of the bank, which are
as follows: British gold coins, 4.697 600
(S73, ,4S5. .O0O: gold bars and foreign gold
coins. f2S,617. 900 (s1E3. 1856 OOO) silver coins,
&, ,6SS.00O ($7,93O.OOo). Total, IA, ,OO0
(S2G4. .SOO,00O. The increase in the amount
of silver coin. which at times runs below
fc00,OOo G1 G1,O0O.Oo0). is very important and
difficult to explain. If such large amounts
of silver accumulate in the Golfers of the
Bank of England, why does the mint con-
tinue to issue them? Last year QS9O the
coinage of silver in England amounted to
Il. 1876 16s (so.9SO. .S1O). of which $62I GOO. or
more than one-half. found its way into the
Bank of England, to remain there, nobody
knows how long.
The figures of the amounts on hand in
the treasury of the United States are
those of May II. 1896. With these expla-
nations, the following list will give a fair
idea of the distribution of gold and silver
throughout the globe:

Popularity of the Civil Service System
to he Tested.
From Good Government.
The civil service system he advocates, Mr..
Bryan considers essentially American"
"a permanent ofice-holding class" he
argues, "ls not in harmony with our insti-
tutions." The founder Of the democratic
party held directly opposite view, con-
tending that the plan of rotation introduced
"a principle of intrigue and corruption
which would soon leaven the whole mass
not only of Senators but Of citizens" which
would keep in excitement all the hungry
cormorants for office, rendering them, as
Wei as those in place, sycophants to their
Senator's engaging the latter in eternal
intriSueS to turn out one and put in the
other" and making Of Congress what all
executive directories become, mere sinks Of
corruption and faction Jefferson's views
were shared by Madison, Monroe. Clay,
Webster and Calhoun. There are, in fact,
few men illustrious in American history
who have not at one time or other con-
aemned the vicious system Mr.. Bryan seeks
to re-establish. To denounce as "un-Amer-
ican" the principles these men proclaimed,
Is piece of braZen effrontery.
Scarcely less presumptuous is the state
ment That the American people are not in
favor Of life tenure in the civil service is
evident from the fact that they. as a rule,
resentatiyes when those representatives are
chosen by ballot" always allowing for the
fact that, as Mr.. Bryan uses the term,
life tenure means the existing system of
civil service reform. Here, too. Mr.. Bryan
is disingenuous. Officers elected by the
people generally represent policies. AS the
temper Of the people changes with regard
to policies, they, too. are changed, and
very properly. The distinction between this
class Of officers and those who are employ
ed merely to conduct the routine business
of the government, Is perfectly plain. To
argue that for the same reasons that q
President representing one set of policies
succeeds one representing another the uni
formed men who carry letters should be
dismissed Is childish. The way generally
chosen by the American people to express
IL cir favor or disfavor in a matter Of public
IoIicy Is to vote on 1t. Civil service reform
has been subjected to popular election on
several occasions, and in widely separated
sections Of the country. In Chicago it was
New York II was embodied In the constitu-
ton of the state by a majority of 10000
In the cities of Seattle and Tacoma, WASH
and in the smaller cities Of Illinois it has
been adopted by proportionate majorities
In no case as yet has 1t been rejected
This seems to US better way of determin-
ing the Judgment Of the American people
than Mr.. Bryan's.
The argumen ents Mr.. Bryan employs are In
short, those Of the stock order, each OF
which has long since been discredited. They
are dignif1ed, however, in their adoption by
a candidate for the presidency Of the United
States, and must, for time, b treated
seriously.
