Mills, Not Mints.

More truth cannot be crowded into an equal number of words than is found in this passage of Maj. McKinley's speech in reply to congratulatory address from some of his old comrades in arms:
 do not know what you think about 1t, but believe it Is a good deal better to open bor of America than to open up the hints Of the United States to the silver of the world.
 This goes hard and straight to the root of the matter.
 Times are not dull in Pittsburg because there is no mint coining silver or gold dollars in that city, but because the great iron works are not running on full time. There was no mint at work in South Chicago when the rolling mills were at work by night and by day, but there was q wage roll of S6.000,000 a year. It was not because of the activity of the hints that Louisiana nearly dou- bled its sugar output, but because of the Mckinley bounty. It was not because the hints were more active in 1891 than in 1893 that in the first year men were striking because they could not earn more than $3 per day, and in the last were hunting for work at 70 cents, and, for the most part, not finding it. The hints were turning out as much money in 1893 as in 1891. But the mills were not turning out so many yards of cloth or tons of iron.
 Start the mills and the hints will be. come active. Return to protection, and the currency will settle itself.-Chicago Inter Ocean,

The Money of the Constitution.

What wild talk is this of the "silver- ites'" convention, Sin favor of restoring to the people of the United States the time -honored money of the constitution gold and silver-not one, but both The constitution prescribes no such money, nor any form of money what ever.
 But if it is "gold and silver-not one, but both"-that they want, why are they not contented now? Both gold and silver are in circulation now, on equal terms, in larger quantities than ever before. In the twenty-two years since the blood. curdling "crime of 1873' was perpetrated more than fifty times as many silvet dol lars have been coined as in the eighty years preceding.
 The simple fact is that the United States has very much larger actual supply of full legal-tended silver money than any other country in the world, excepting India and China, and a larger supply in proportion to it's population than any other. excepting France, Spain and Holland. It has more gold in circu- lation. actually. than any in the world, excepting only France, and more propor- tionately than any European country. excepting Great Britain, France and Germany. It also has more money of all kinds in circulation, and all at par, than most nations of the world.
 Less talk and more reflection would convince these would-be currency re- formers that we already have what they talk of as "the time-honored money of the constitution" in abundant supply, for every man who is willing honestly to earn it.-New York Tribune.

Gen. Walkers BimetarIism.

Francis A. Walker, president of the Boston Institute of Technology, may be called the leader of the bimcta,Iists of the United States, so far as n man not in politics can be called leader of move ment which has become political issue He has been m ardent advocate of inter- national bimetallism for more than twen- ty years. He speaks with authority on all economic questions, but bimetailism may be called his hobby.
 A new book. written without regard to tire present situation, but singularly ap- propriate. has just appeared, bearing Gen. Walkers name on the title page.

To Sound Money Democrats.

Here is a brief and simple catechism for sound money Democrats:
 Do you want to beat Bryan"
 'If you want to beat Bryan, do you know of any other way of doing it than by electing Mckinley"
 'If you want to beat Bryan, and don't know of any other way of doing it than by electing Mckinley, why don't you take your coat off and wade in and elect McI<inleyy'
 Answers to these interrogatories are respectfully solicited from sound money Democrats who declare the currency the paramount issue and yet refuse to act as if they believed what they said.-Bos- ton Journal

Curiosities of Our Money.

Few persons are aware that silver cer- tifcates are not legal tender, though re- ceivable for public dues. The fact was recently. it is stated, forced on the attention of the postoffice department by a person who refused to accept the cer- tifcates in payment of a money order. Thus. it seems, the government is obliged to receive silver certificates, but cannot pay them out to any one unwilling to re- ceive them. Should our silver friends be- come able to leSislate, they will doubtless make the certificates legal tender, so as to force the unwilling patriot to take the paper representative of 8 cents at 100 cent valuation.

Will Have to Work for It.

After Mir. Bryan shall become presi- dent and free coinage shall be accom- plished the people who were so eager to establish such a conjuncture of circum- stances will finally discover that they are no better off than they were before. Not man of them will be able to got a dsllar, whether worth 50 cents or other wise, except in the same way that money has always been got. It must be obtained in some sort of honest busi- ness or earned as wages. There is no other way in which an honest penny can be gof.-New Orleans Picayuae.
