The President of France Shot.

President Faure was fred upon at Long
champs races yesterday. The bullet
missed its mark and the assailant was
arrested. He said he had fred only a
blank cartridge and had no intention Of
killing the president. There was much
relief when it was known that President
Faure was not injured.
During the Is months since Faure was
chosen president of the French republic
there have been three more or less defined
plots concocted for his assassination. In
the first of these the principal was said to
be an anarchist. In June of last year a
commercial traveller was locked up by the
police upon information that he had threat
ened to fire upon President Faure. On
March 1 this year three Spaniards and an
Italian were arrested on board railway
train who said they were going to Lyons to
see President Faure and as they were
armed with daggers or razors the news
papers came to the conclusion that they
had formed conspiracy against the life Of
the president. These men were subse-
quently liberated.

Free Silver and the I6 to l Ratio.

Several people have asked us to explain
g unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to l." and we give them the follow
ing explanation from the Outlook, believ-
ing it to be the shortest and clearest
explanation that can be made:
"The present silver dollar weighs as
much as 16 gold dollars. The silver dol
lar weighs 412 IL grains and the gold dol
lar 25 $40 grains. Free coinage of gold
and silver at the ratio of 16 to l means
that whoever brings to the mint 412 ~
grains of silver or 25 $40 grains of gold
shall receive dollar for it. This was the
system prior to 1873, and the advocates of
free coinage claim that the fall in the price
OF silver bullion since that date has been
due to the change in the law, and that the
restoration of the old law will restore sill
yer bullion to its old price, and permit the
use OF both metals for the expansion of the
currency. International bimetalsts accept
this reasoning, but urge that all the lead
ing nations must reopen their mints to zoe
free coinage of silver if It's former value is
to be restored and silver and gold circulate
together at par
The latter certainly seems the most
reasonable. If the United States adopts
the 16 to l ratio without the cooperation
OF England, France and Germany it must
pay all its obligations, and all it buys of
these nations in gold, which would be
impossible, as there is not gold enough in
this country to do it. The result would be
a panic and financial crash such as this
country has never seen.

The Globe Will Not Support Him.

Against the personal character of the sill
yer democracy's chosen leader for this
campaign no word has ever been spoken.
The Globe is not, however, prepared at
this time to support candidate Bryan. 1t
does not approve of the platform and firmly
believes that in calm and thorough dis
cussion Of the financial question all classes
of people will see that the greatest good of
the greatest number will best be promoted
by the gold standard until such time as the
status Of silver may be changed by interna-
tional agreement.
1t may prove the wisest course for the
democratic party to hold its organization
in the different states, especially in the
east, and conduct its state and congress
sional campaigns upon sound money plat
forms. By this method congress can be
constituted in a way which shall be for the
best interests of the country. Democrats
can hold their organizations locally and not
hamper individual action on the national
ticket Boston Globe.

Germans for Mckinley.

ThejNew York Staats-Zeitung in explain.
ing its reason for supporting Mckinley,
says, among other things:
''The whole world will Judge by the re-
suit of the coming presidential election
what guarantee the Union can offer for the
continuance Of orderly and well regulated
political and social conditions. Circum-
stances have made William Mckinley the
man, around whom all must rally who de-
sire to defeat determinedly the candidate
of the pseudo-democracy, William j. Byran,
who stands for fiat money under the guise
Of bimetallism, for notification of lawfully
contracted liabilities, for communism and
lawlessness.
The Staats-Zeitung Of Chicago, whose
editor is the postmaster of that city, also
bolts the ticket in equally unmistakable
words.

A Third Party.

The sound money democrats of Illinois
July IS, issued call to arms addressed to
the anti silver democrats Of the United
States. 1t says: ga national convention
convened under the constituted authority
of our party, has just closed its session in
the city of Chicago.
ut entered upon its work by violating
all party precedents in the rejection of a
distinguished democrat as its temporary
presiding officer.
cit deprived sovereign state of voice
in its deliberations by unseating without
cause or legal justification delegates elected
with all the regularity known to party Or
ganization. 1t refused to indorse the hon
esty and fidelity of the present democratic
national administration.
"It adopted platform which favors the
free and unlimited coinage of silver by this
country alone at the ratio of 16 to l, and
thereby it repudiated time-honored dem
ocratic principle which demands the strict
maintenance of sound and stable national
currency.
FINALLY, to make it still palmer that,
o'1iiouSoh III hduiC, IL was HOG Ill IdCU,
democratic convention, it nominated for
president one who is not in his political
convictions and has not always been, even
in his profession, democrat.
''This has made such crisis, both for
the nation and the democratic party, that
sound money democrats must at once de-
eide what political action they will take for
the protection of the honor of the nation,
the prosperity of the people and the life
and usefulness OF the party. The sound
money democrats of Illinois have fully
made up their minds that a new democratic
national convention should be called for
the earliest feasible day to nominate demo-
cratic candidates for president and vice
president and to adopt platform of demo-
cratic principles"
The call is signed by Senator John M.
Palmer, Controller James Eckels, Ben
L. Cable, Congressman William S. For
man and other well-known democrats, and
requests that communications be addressed
to Charles A. Ewing chairman, at the
Palmer house.

The Duty of the Hour.

The paramount duty of the hour is the
sustaining of national honor in the marts Of
the world, which depends on the sustaining
also OF the commanding standard of none
tary value. Juggle with the question as
one may, this is at the bottom a question
of honor, Of honesty, of national and OF
individual safety. We do not know that it
is any better for nation or state to re-
pudiate than for any private debtor. The
true interests Of the people, then, ask for
the election of Mr.. Mckinley, not for him
self, but for the absolute necessity of the
whole people of the United States, and of
the greater world Of which they are after
all but part. 1t will throw upon the Re-
publican party burden Of duty which we
must hope they will assume with dignity
and conscience Springfield Republican.

The New York World Bolts.

'lt is to the future that the World looks
in considering the effect of the convention
There is no doubt as to the result of the
election, except as to the size of McKinley's
popular and electoral maorities. To ques-
ton this is to doubt the intelligence, the
underlying honesty and the public morality
OF the people. But the World remembers
that the Democratic party has blundered
frghtfully in the past, and has survived
and recovered from the effects of it's un-
wisdom. We desire to see the old and
splendid historic organization left after de-
feat in such condition that the fragments
can be made to cohere again in 1900"

The Financial Outlook.

1t has been we'll said that ''the red blood
of the martyrs of Christian civilization
has been the seed OF American faith. The
white robes of the country's nursery cradles
enshrine American hope. The blue uni
form of the Federal soldier symbolizes
American strength that exercises charity.
Any wind that blows in the teeth Of pro-
gressive forces only unfolds the flag that is
ever found at the head of the column. The
challenge to 60 backward is distinct
command to 60 forward. For every red
reactionist in the the United States there
are regiment of invincible progressies
who swear by the red, white and blue.
Silver was demonetized because it was
physically unsuited to the demands at a
rapidly growing volume of modern cred
Since 1873 it has been increasingly use
less in proportion to the increasing useful
ness of money of account. AS the need of
quantity in the money of redemption be-
comes less by the use of clearing house
methods, so does the demand for quality
increase. The United States has been
strong enough to eoncede everything but
honor to money metal that evolution in
finances has consigned to secondary
place. As usual, the weaker element, des-
tined to defeat, is that which forces the is
sue, and, as usual, the fittest will survive.
The national contest between silver and
gold will naturally be settled by silver re-
naming in its present secondary position" !"

The Outlook.

The free silver men having captured
the organization of the democratic party
and nominated ticket in harmony with
their views and platform, it will be interest
ing to note what chance, ifany they have to
win. They claim all the southern states
except Maryland and West Virginia and
all the far west states, in all 1856 electoral
votes. They concede that Mckinley will
carry all the heretofore doubtful eastern
states on the sound money platform, this
would give him 1913 electoral votes. The bat
tie then is to be fought, and the election de-
cided by the electoral votes (65 all told)
of Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska,
Wisconsin and California. All of these
states are normally Republican; no one Of
them has any special silver interest with
the exception of California, and there the
interests are greatly diversified. All Of
them, besides being normally Republican,
are devoted to the idea of protection. II
is, therefore, reasonable to suppose that a
majority would remain Republican. The
silver men would have to carry Iowa,
Michigan and Wisconsin to win, or losing
one of these, would have to carry four Of
these six states to get majority. 1t is
not reasonable to suppose they could dc
this, and yet this is the most favorable
showing that can be made Tor them. 1t as.
sumes that there shall be no defections IL
the south, and gives to them some far west
ern states, where the Republicans will
have more than fighting chance.
In short the nomination of a free coinage
advocate at Chicago settles the heretofore
doubtful states in favor of the Republicans
and makes the northwest the battle ground
"a region which has heretofore beer
strongly Republican.

How It Strikes Baltimore Democrats,

The Sun says: "The only question
that now presents itself to the sound money
men is how to beat Bryan?' He is the
best man the coinage people could have
nominated, brilliant speaker, and an
effective campaigner, he fits the platform
and the platform fits him. The chances Of
success, however, are in favor of McKin-
ley, as sound money men regard the evils
OF protection as Of less Importance than
the evils of free silver coinage"
The News says: ''There is no duty
halt so urgent to-day as the duty of seeing
that the Chicago convention idea of democ-
racy is buried as deep as possible next
November"
