About Rf-MetnLienn.

The phrase ssgold mono-metal-
ism" SO freely used by certain clas-
ses to describe the present money
status In the United States is I'M
warranted and misleading termi-
nology. There is no fact more
patent than that two kinds of met
al are used for money In this
country. If any man will take the
pains to examine the money that
may pass through his hands he will
discover that greater part of it is
silver, or paper currency represent
ing silver. Silver certificates and
treasury notes that were issued for
the purchase of silver bullion con-
stitute very large portion of the
paper money in circulation.
Mono-metalism means a currency
made up wholly of one metal, and
with such an extensive use of silver
as the United States in its circula-
ting medium makes of it, it is sim
ply absurd and without reason to
say that gold mono-metalism pre-
walls here.
1t is true that the gold standard
exists here, but that does not alter
the bimetallIc character of the cur
rency. Both gold and silver are
used as money in the United States,
and the silver is made the more
valuable by being kept on a parity
with gold.
That condition is practicable as
long as the amount of silver coin in
the country is restricted within rea-
sonable limits, but should there be
unlimited silver coinage at the ratio
of 16 to l, gold, being the dearer
metal, would necessarily disappear
from circulation, and there would
be real monometalism such as they
have in all countries where silver is
coined free. Silver alone would
constitute the money of the coun-
try.
The per capita circulation of the
country now is greater than it has
been before in many years-much
larger than it was in the much
talked of days prior to 1878. 1t is
bi-metalic currency, about $780,
900, 600 of it being either silver, or
paper money based on silver. And
it is every cent kept at the sound
valuation, which places it on pari-
ty in purchasing power with the
money of the great commercial cen
ters.-Ex.

The Reporter and Falcon

better humor. It's editorial
references to Col. Patterson,
to his 'private secretary"
and to the BULLETIN do not
show that bitterness which
characterized its former ut
terances. The hirsute growth
of the old man who follows
the destinies of the free sill
verites of Fayette is yet ting
ed with red, though he is
toning down. We hope that
he will finally recover from
his great disappointment in
regard to that postofice mat
ter. Think over the case,
brother, prayerfully and hon
estly, and remember that
everybody could not get Of
fee. The editor of the Re
porter and Falcon still insists
that one of the editors of
the BULLETIN, notwithstand=
ing our denial, did draw the
salary of private secretary to
Col. Patterson without rem
dering legitimate service for
same, and says if he is mista-
ken we should bring forward
the proof. When a charge
is preferred and denied, it is
the duty of the one who
the charge to substan-
tiate it by proof and facts,
he has no case.
The editor of the Reporter
and Falcon has not substan-
tiated his charge and cannot.
He has a right to his opinion.

devised to ascertain prefer
ment, as to candidates as
well as principles. 1t is a
method that insures the ex-
preston of every participant,
if conducted fairly, and the
BULLETIN is not ready to adj
NIT that the democratic par
ty is composed Of thieves,
thugs and ballot box suffers.
1t is a plan that prevents the
sitting of the voices and SEN
timents of any voter whatev-
er. Yea more, it prevents
conventions from being ma
nipulated by the parliamen-
tarians and politicians. 1t
Obviates the necessity of
those living in remote dis
tricts riding many miles in
order to express their senti=
ments and convictions, hence
there are many who would
vote in a primary that would
not ride eighteen or twenty
miles to take part in a con-
vention. The BULLETIN is
of the opinion that a method
which will bring about the
freest expression of the wish
and desire of the people
should be adopted and there
fore prefers a primary to a
convention.

The interview of w. F.
Harrity, Chairman of Dem
ocratic National Committee,
in regard to the eligibility of
delegates to the democratic
national convention is indeed
sensible. The BULLETIN
agrees with Mr.. Harrity in
his assertion that no delegate
to the national convention
should be allowed to take
part who is unwilling to sup
port the candidates to be
nominated and the platform
to be formulated. The state
convention of Missouri voted
down a resolution committing
the democracy of that state
to support the platform to
be adopted at Chicago. Ben
Tillman "a delegate fromSouth
Carolina, has openly declar-
ed that he, as well as the
other delegates from his
state, would walk out of the
convention if the party de-
clares for the gold standard
Such declarations are dndem-
ocratic, and uuquestionably
proves that those so disposed
should not be admitted to
party councils. The majority
should control, but the MAJ
jority should be composed
only of delegates that will
abide by the acts Of the con-
vention, andnotb by those who
will support the nominees
only on the condition that
they and the platform meets
with their approval.

As was expected President
Cleveland vetoed the Rivers
and Harbors bill. In so doing
he has furnished additional
proof of his loyalty to demo-
cratic principles and his in
terest in the welfare Of this
government. A part of this
veto message is as follows :
Individual economy and careful
expenditures are the sterling virtues
which lead to thrift and comfort.
Economy and the exaction of clear
justification for the appropriation
of public moneys by the servants of
the people are not only virtues, but
solemn obligations.
To the extent that the apprOpria-
lions contained in this bill are in
stigated by private interests and
promote local or individual projects,
their allowance cannot fail to slim
ulate vicious paternalism and en-
courage a sentiment among our peo-
pie, already too prevalent, that their
attachment to our government may
properly rest upon the hope and ex-
pectation of direct and especial ia
vors, and that the extent to which
they realized may furnish an esti-
mate of the value of governmental
care.
believe no greater danger con-
fronts us as a nation than the un-
happy decadence of our people of
genuine and trustworthy love as the
embodiment of the highest and best
aspirations of humanity, and not as
the giver of gifts and because its
mission is the enforcement of exact
justice and equality and the allow
ance of unfair faVoritism.
| hope / may be permitted to sug-
gest at time when the issue of
government bonds to maintain the
credit and financial standing of a
country is a subject of criticism
that the contracts provided for in
this bill would create obligations
of the United States amounting to
$62, 900, 900, no less binding than
its bonds for that sum.
These are indeed timely
remarks. There is no doubt
that the spirit of paternalism
is gaining adherents instead
of going into a state Of deca-
dence, and because of this
fact the expenses of the gov
eminent have reached the
point where forbearance cea-
ses to be a virtue. When
such a state of affairs exist, it
is strange that the 16 to L
issue is the only one that
seems to engage the atten~
ton of the majority of the
democratic politicians. To a
great extent their disinterest-
edness in so important mat
ter may be accounted for be-
cause of the fact that their
skirts are not clear of not
only attempting to stem the
tide of paternalism, but too
frequently those in authority
are giving to it strength by
their Endorsement. In this
