Hamilton.

Alexander Hamilton, in advocating
the mint act of 1702, assigned two rea-
sons for not attaching tho unit of mon
ey exclusively to ono metal, the first be-
ing that to do so would destroy the
office and character of one of them as
money and reduce it to tho situation of
d more merchandise, and the second,
that "to aIinul the use Of either Of the
metals as money is TO abridgo the guam
tityeof tho circulating medium and is
liable to all the objections which arise
from a comparison Of tho benefits Of a
full with tho evils Of a scanty circula-
ton "

A GOOD ROADS PLANK AT CHICAGO.

An effort will be made at Chicago to procure

officer OF the League. With the purpose thus
indicated all bicycle riders will doubtless SYM

or purposes. At present he is vislbly making
n fight for sound money In Convention which,
he well knows. will vote for free silver about
two to ono, and can at any moment make the

Democrats hope to accomplish by staying IN

tails when they cannot consistently with their
professions support the ticket nominated, has
not yet been explained. But If they fancy that
the farce and fraud OF 1892 can be repeated.

MR.. HOBAR7'S SPEECH.

The ceremony at Paterson yesterday AFTER
noon when the committee from the Nati0nai
Convention made formal announcement to Gar
ret A. Hobart of his nomination for Nicelres-
jdent was fitting complement to the ceremony
at Canton a week ago Mr.. McKinleys al
dress then was so straightforward and ad-
mirable that even his enemies were compelled
to speak well Of him, and n host OF new friends
was made by It, Mr.. HObarts response 10 the
speech Of Mr.. Fairbanks was no less felicitous'
1t was simple, direct and In good taste. The
campaign issues were stated clearly, ana the
candidate showed himself unequvocally TO be
in accord with the party's declaration or prin-
cIples
Mr. Hobart has n terse way Of putting things
that promises we'll for his success In cam
paign. and fully sustains his reputation as n
man who knows how to say the right thing in
the right place. lie accepted his hOnOrs mod
estly, but with dignity, and paid graceful
tribute to his leader on the ticket In speaking
on the financial question he declared: An
honest dollar, worth 100 cents everywhere,
cannot be coined out OF % cents worth OF
SILVER plus a legislative fiat That Is the
central truth, around which the sOund-money
fight must be waged. The silver craze Is the
creenback craze revived-03 cents worth OF
silver having taken the place of tenth OF a
cents worth of paper as the foundation for
mjrace-workng and epigramhatic statement
Of the fact is the best way TO conquer the de-
fusion that the silver demand Is anything else.
The basis of sound money, gold or silver, Mr..
Hobart saws, is found "in the commercial value
"of the metal contained in the respective coins.
.s'Thts commercial value Is fixed by the mar
"kets Of the world, with which the great in
"terests Of our country are necessarily connect
led by innumerable business ties which cannot
"be severed or ignored Great and self-reliant
"as our country Is, It is great not alone within
ats borders and upon its own resources. but
because 1t also reaches ont TO the ends OF the
earth in all the manifold departments Of bust
mess, exchange and commerce., and must main
tain with honor It's standing and credit among
1.-The nations Of the earth
The Vice Presidential candidate Is as ortho-
dox on the tariff as on the money question
He has studied the Protective policy as 1t has
operated in the great centres Of industry. and
has seen 1t build up vast activities from small
beginnings. and has learned that 1.-THE prosper
"ity of the farmer. merchant and all other
Glasses Of citizens goes hand In hand with
that of the manufacturer and mechanic" He
sees the need of more revenue to bring financial
security, so levied as to give n stimulus to our
langushing manufactures and start our people
again on the road TO prosperity.
Mr. TObart's address was brief. but II was
to thepOint, and it revealed mind alive TO the
problems Of the hour and clear In conception
of adequate remedies

As to the candidate on whom the Convention
will finally settle down, after fighting over the
Craftsmanship, the platform, the twothirds rule,
and other things too numerous to mention IL
ended, the situation was no clearer last night,
after the first session, than It had been for days
before Bland is still In the lead, and his
friends are gradually enlarging their claims on
his behalf. t'.t 1t seems prudent to discount
their assertions by nearly 30 per cent. 1t Is
pSoody's rice thus far. From present indica-
tons the preliminary proceedings will be so
protracted that everybody will be tired out by
the time the real work Of the Convention IL

are going to elect Major Mckinley as President

tics; it is noticeable in the condition
Of the people. There has been a
great extension of employment at
better wages, although the cost OF
goods and Of living in general has
decreased. The people are better
housed, better fed, better clothed
and better educated.
1t is useless to compare this
splendid growth Of prosperity and
wealth with the depression and
misery during the operation of the
| corn laws The troubles an6 hor-
rors Of that period arc a matter OF
history
If McKinleyism, with its artificial
prices which robbed the people, con-
sumed the surplus of capital, ham
pered production, restricted trade
and reduced employment, had never
afflicted this country it is safe to
say thai we could have settled our
financial troubles without that
pinch of hard times which has so
aggravated their evil Republic.
