According to the sunni law, the kill
ing and plumber of in6des is as much
an act OF worship as prayer. In
most cases of which we have full de-
tails the Christians have got wind OF
what was coming, have appealed to
the civil authorities for protection,
and received the most solemn assur-
ance that they had nothing TO fear.
The signal once given, every Armeni-
an to be found in the shops or streets
was killed. Guns, pistols, knives
and clubs were used, but the desire
for plumber generally outran the
desire to kill, and gave many Arneni-
ans the chance to conceal themselves.
The stripping and the mutilation OF
the bodies generally came later
After a day or two the officials i'm
pressed companies of Armenians to
collect the bodies and bury them in
trenches with scant ceremony.
The Armenians in the town were
merchants, shopkeepers and mechan.
les, and the object has been to reduce
them to hopeless poverty by whole.
sale plumber. Whether killed or not,
their shops and houses have been lit.
orally cleaned out, and great care
has been taken to destroy all account
books and evidence OF debt. In many
cases the shops and houses have been
burnt. They have not only lost
their property, but also their bust
ness, their tools, all their means OF
earning their daily bread. The work
has been done more thoroughly in
some places than in others, but in
general it has left the greater part
of the Armenian population in abject
poverty, if not starving. In Ere
rum, where only 800 were killed, there
were according to the statement of
vail, 5000 left without the means to
buy a loaf Of bread-that is, half the
Armenian population of the town.
According to the Turkish Off
cial census there were, before
the massacres, 17S,000 Armenians
living in the larger towns in
these vilayets. Certainly halt of
them left alive are in starving con-
dition, the rest in poverty. The chief
sufferers are women and children
the families of those killed.
A low estimate of those either killed
or now in state of starvation is
half the agricultural population of
these vilayets, 275, 900, according to
Turkish statistics, two-thirds of the
starving being women and children.
1t is the present condition OF things
which merits the special attention Of
the world. The dead are dead. |
do not care to discuss the question
here upon whose head their blood
may rest, but the massacres and the
plumber and the starvation and the
forced conversions are still going on.
And these things are going on undis-
turbed while the most powerful fleet
of modern times lies idle in the
Aegean, and the six great powers of
Europe are looking on in helpless
imbecility. Is there no courage or
manhood left in our modern civiIiza-
ton?

The Democratic National Convention
meets at Chicago next Tuesday, and
already the free silver contingent is on
the ground planning to side-track the
convention in favor of a declaration for
free silver coinage. and the Indications at
present point to their success. Out OF
ffty-one States and Territories which
have chosen delegates to the convention.
fifteen States have sent delegations
unanimously favorable to the existing
currency standard. The delegations from
Florida, Washington and the District OF
Columbia are divided about equally on
this question. From all the other States
and Territories there will be sent renre.
sentatives to the convention who will
insist upon a return to the CURRENCY and
coinage conditions existing prior to 1873
when the silver dollar was first eliminated
from the Federal currency system. With
the Territories casting eaoh six votes in
the convention, as recommended bv tbe
National Committee of the party. thu
full membership would be $50, and a two.
thirds majority, 620. On the face of thu
returns from the several State and Terri.
torial conventions, the gold men now
have 344 delegates, and the ~silyerites
$50. The sound money element of the
party, under the lead of ex- Secretary
Whitney, will make an effort to stem the
free silver current, and in the event Of
their failure, Mr.. Whitney says it means
the disruption of the Democratic partv,
And Mr.. Whitney is not alone in this
prophecy, the opinion being generally

the money issue was to be fought to a

NOTES AND

There is no longer any doubt as te
where Major Mckinley stands on the
financial question. His speech Of
acceptance has settled all doubts.
The silver men have captured Chicago
IN advance of the Democratic National
Convention. From this vantage ground
the Convention will be an easy prey.
Mckinley, Hobart, sound money, pro.
lection, reciprocity and prosperity form
an invincible compact that every voter
will want to become a part of this fall.
President Cleveland has gone to Grew
Gables for his summer outing, and the
Democratic party is on the way to
Chicago to try the strength of the free
silver cyclone.
Chauncey M. Depew, who has lust
sailed for Europe for his annual summer
vacation, says, in an interview: "The
fight is to be sound money and protection
against free silver and free trade; and that
issue will break up all existing parties,
who will divide on gold and silver. And
the victory will be with the Republicans
on the issues of gold and protection.
The gold question will make New York
Republican by 200, 900, Connecticut by
10000. New Jersey by Is. 900, and Massa.
chusetts by 40, ZOO. All the other New
England States. of course, are Republi.

Senator DAILY, of Jersey City, is one OF
the delegates 10 the Democratic Natlonai
convention who says he is for the gold
standard, but that if'the convention shali

issue. The Hudson Senator would scar
csly hope that the consciences of the
Demoeratic masses could be as elastic as
his, nor so plastic or adjustable. of a
different opinion is Allan McDermott,

Committee and a delegate.at-large to

The Newark Advertiser places the
figures for New Jersey in November al
so 600. 1t says "Garret A. Hobart is a
strong man; he is thoroughly informed
he is a mar of the highest character; he
is familiar with large affairs and with
broad management, and he is eminently
patriotic. His election will relieve the
country from any apprehension arising
from death or disability in the Presiden-
tial office. To a ticket upon which the
name of Garret A. Hobart, of New Jer.
sey, will appear, the voters of their State
will give a majority expression of their
State pride and of their appreciation Of
the choice of a son of New Jersey to be
one of the Presidential standard bearers
of the Republican party. That majority
should easily reach tens Of thousands,
and his friends in New Jersey already

interest rates and thus check the export
of gold. Lower pricss-ruin of pro.
ducers. poverty and distress of wage
earners. This is the remedy the gold
monometallists have to offer for pold
exports that threaten the exhaustion of
our gold.
All our gold is not worth such a sacri.
fee. Far better abandon the gold stan.
dard and suspend gold payments than
maintain gold payments at the cost of
b~ankrupting our producers and reducing
our wage-earners to virtual slavery.
But the preventive offered by the gold
monometallists is not the only one. True.
the only way to check gold exports is to
make it to the advantage of our creditors
to take our commodities, our grain. our
cotton, etc., rather than our gold, and
buy with it grain and cotton elsewhere.
This is indisputable. But we need not
further depress prices in order to induce
our creditors to take our grain and cotton
In preference to gold.
To raise the price of cotton in India,
and wheat in Argentine, Russia and
India, will induce our foreign creditors
to buy from us just as surely as depress-
ing Jul prices. When they take gold,
they do 30 because gold buys more grain
and cotton and other produce which they
| desire elsewhere thar here. Raise the
price of grain and cotton elsewhere and
| prices here that before seemed high will
| at once become attractive and induce
liberal buying. But can we raise prices
elsewhere, and if 80, how?
Assuredly we can raise prices. How ?
Simply by raising the price of silver, or
rather depressing the value of gold.
Raise the gold price of the ounce of
silver from 81 cents to 81 20 an ounce by
opening our mints to silver, and the
bushel of Indian wheat laid down in
Liverpool for ar ounce of silver-approx-
imately the price of wheat in Liverpool
for one hundred years-will cost the
| Enelishman 81 30 instead of CT cents
And 30 with cotton and everything else
the Englishman buys in silver. using
| countries.
It is thus that we can check the export
of gold and protect the gold reserve by
| restoring silver. The banks until within
a few years supplied the gold required
for export. Let the Secretary of the
| Treasury look out for the interest of the
whole people and not primarily of the
exporters. Let him pay silver when
more convenient, and the exporters of
| gold will look to the banks, not to the
New York Sub Treasury, for gold.

A Curreney Catechism.

CAMPAIGN QUESTIONS PUT AMI
ANsWERED-wHAT TO EXPECT FROM
GOLD AND SILVER ADVOCATES.
(From the Chicago Herald.)
Q. What is the whole body of currency
of the United States to-day =?
A. Paper, $475. 600, 600; silver. 500.
600, 600; gold, $61s, 100000.
@. What is the existing money stan.
dard of the country?
A. Gold, by means of which all the
silver and all the paper are worth 1OC
cents to the dollar.
@. What would be the effect if We
should abandon the existing gold stan
dard?
A. all the gold would leave the country
In accordance with the never-questioned
law that a superior money will not re-
main in a country where an inferior money
is the standard. Silverites admit that
gold is sixteen times more valuable than
silver. That is what the ratio of ''six
teen to one" means. In truth, to day
gold is thirty-two times more valuable
than silver.
@. What amount of money would be
thus Withdrawn from the country if the
silver standard should be substituted fol-
the gold standard ?
A. Six hundred and twelve million dol.
lars, contracting the currency to that
amount and orippling the country &C.
%cordingly.
@. If the silver standard were substi.
tuted for the existing gold standard,
what would be the effect on the $61O, 600,
600 of silver now worth 100 cents to the
dollar E?
A. The entire quantity of silver dollars
would be worth their weight in silver pei
ounce, which varies from week to week
like the price of wheat, and the imme.
date effect would be to reduce the $61O,
900. 900 to 1906. 200, 600, the present value
OF silver per ounce in the coins, thus con.
tracing the currency of the country to
this additional amount, making a total
contraction of $917, 900, 900.
Q. What would be the effect on the
paper in our currency if we should substi-
tute the silver standard for the existing
gold standard {?
A. The $475. 900, 900 of paper, to day
worth 100 cents to the dollar on the
existing gold standard, would at once
decline to fifty cents on the dollar on the
silver standard, based on the price of
silver to-day, the immediate effect being
to reduce the value of the paper now in
the currency to $237, 500, 600.
@. By abandoning the existing gold
standard for the silver standard, what
then would be the first net result?
A. The loss to the country of 81, 1884,
500. 600, every dollar worth 100 cents by
reason of the existing gold standard.
Q. What do you deduce from this ?
A. That we need all the money we have
and that We want every dollar to be worth
100 cents.
q. How can we keep all the money we
have and keep every dollar worth 100
cents?
A. By preserving the existing gold
standard.
Put this little currency catechiem in
your pocket.

But none the less a clothing
store. There is unequalec

The materials in our wooden
and worsted clothing are alb

Importance of that statement
only an expert in woolens
comprehends. Seams are silk
sewed. Garments are tailor

Our high standard for cloth
