Why This FayorltIsm?

! Silver can be profitably produced in
this country at GO cents an ounce. II is
now selling here for a fraction over SO
cents. The mine owners ask, and the
Chicago convention is ready to agree,
that the government shall make their
product worth $1.29 for coinage pur-
poses. Why this favoritism? II the
igovernment-which means the taxpay-
ers-is to double the value of silver
bullion why may it not logically be
asked to double the value of wheat,
corn, cotton and potatoes, by making
AN Unlimited market for them at
Fictitious price? The silver product of
this country is relatively of minor inn
portance. Its real value in 1895 was
about 100000. The copper product
was worth Sss,ooo,OoO; pig iron, $685.
100000 and soft coal $115, 100000. Why
should these products be sold at COM
mercial rates and silver be doubled in
money val6e by act of congress? The
silver craze is, at bottom, unjust pater-
nalism and the worst bunko game ever
attempted in this country.-N. Y.
World.

WHY HE LEAVES HIS PARTY.
An Old-Timc Democrat Cannot Follow
the Silverites.

An Old-Time Democrat Cannot Follow
the Silverites.
Mr.. Samuel Dickson, of Philadelphia,
lifelong democrat and an influential
citizen, has resigned as presidential
elector on the democratic ticket.
Among other reasons for his action he
gave the following:
1t is merely paltering with the truth
to pretend TO acquiesce in the expert
ment of trying to make the product OF
a days labor in a silver mine worth
two or five times as much as the product
of days labor in gold or an iron
mine. AT the present time the results
ofIa days work in one occupation are
worth approximately and in the long
run as much as in any other. To afflS
an artificial value upon silver ore is a
dishonest and unjust discrimination
against every other form of industr.s,
and when it is done by calling it legal
tender IL is done at the expense Of
every class in the community except
the money lenders and the money
changers.
With currencies of different value in
circulation, the money lenders always
thrive at the expense Of the people, and
the debtor must suffer more than the
wage Garner. 1t was favorite saying
of Lord Palmerston that a high rate of
interest meant bad security, and the
owner of money must charge for the
risk if there is chance that when he
lends a bar of gold he may be forced
to take payment in bar of silver, just
as the owner of a horse will hesitate to
lend it with chance of being given in
return a sheep or a pig. That is all
there is in bimetallism as a practical
question as between the lender and the
borrower, and, so stated, it ought to he
easy to understand why, until it is
stated, hundreds of millions of capital
are lying idle which would be at the
service Of the south and west if they
were willing to give back what they
got.

TRYING TO DODGE.
Candidate Bryan Appeals TO National
Prejudice.


Candidate Bryan Appeals to National
Prejudice
In the speech which gained him the
democratic nomination for president
Hon. w. J. Bryan. of Nebraska, said in.
reference to what he termed 'the great
paramountissue:" MY friends, we shall
declare that this nation is able to leg
islate for its own people on every ques-
ton without waiting for the aid or
consent of any other nation on earth,
and upon that issue we expect to carry
every single state in this union"
If this means anything it means that
the paramount issue" on which the
silverite campaign is to be fought is
not free silver at sixteen to one, bnt the
question whether this country is able
to legislate for its own people. On this
issue there can be no dispute. Ofcourse
the United States can legislate without
the aid or consent of any other country.
No advocate Of sound money will for
moment deny Mr.. Bryan's assertion,
nor has anyone ever done so. If con-
gress chooses to pass law that the
tides shall never rise more than four
feet along any part of oT seacoast, it
has perfect right to do so. If the
United States wishes to enact legisla-
ton forbidding the Russian thistle to
grow, it is able to do so without the
consent of any other nation. If con-
gress chooses ITO fix the price of sugar
at four cents per pound, it can legislate
to that effect without any aid from
hated British or Frenchman. There is
no doubt about our ability ito legislate
on every question without asking any
body's consent.
But if congress passes foolish laws
will they have any effect? That is the
real issue. Can the price of such COM
modify as sugar be fixed by our laws
Certainly not. Equally impossible
would it be to fix the price of silver al
sixteen to one of gold. No believer in
sound money thinks CT se.;s that we
cannot PASS. free ard unlimited six
teen to one coinage law. They do say
ana all the experience OF manklnc
proves that they are right, that under
such law this country cannot alone
maintain the value of silver at the pres
emit ratio.
Mr.. Bryan's attempt to run away
from the question as to our ability IL
raise the value of all the worlds silver
without the agreement (not consent, a,
he states it) of the great commercial ma
tions shows the weakness of the silver
cause. Confusing the ability to legis
late, which nobody denies, with tht
ability to control values by Legislation
may do for q stump speech. 1t will no
deceive the American people, who know
we'll enough that our laws cannot fl,
the value of silver or of any other labol
product.

A man may get meal, and when he

ment will get back as change Mexican

silver than our own. He gets demon
stration of the fact that it is the credit
of our government which keeps the sill

its intrinsic value, just as it keeps its
paper notes, which have no intrinsic
value at all, at an equality with gold

emit coinage at sixteen to one" would
mean dollars worth even less than Mex

Choose Your Metal.

Our free silver friends tell us that sill
yer is just as good as gold. If so, what
harm results to anybody from allowing
the creditor of the bank or government
10 make his choice of metals? Why, at
any rate, object to paying debts in the
kind of metals borrowed? If silver
man prefers silver to gold, either gov
eminent or banker must pay it to him,
and for all debts, all taxes, all obliga-
tons due the nation, state, county or
municipality, silver is now full ten

OUR TRADE INTERESTS.

Follow the Limos Of Least Monetary Re-
sistance.
In declaring for the free coinage OF
silver Independently of al other coun-
tries the Chicago convention in effect
declared for different and lower
money standard than that used by the
great commercial nations with which
we trade. Trade and commerce follow
the lines Of least monetary resistance,
and out of total merchandise imports
and exports last year of $3.50 ,50S, 100
only $tc3,s93, 1927 was from single silver
standard countries-less than II per
cent.
Even in our South, American trade,
about which so much has been said,
out of o total of $145,693,O55 only per
cent, $780, 1853, was with silver stand
ard countries, while ~ per cent, $685.
217,s64, was with single gold standard
countries, and $31, 4s3.33s was with BIZ
metallic countries.
Practically speaking, all bimetallic
countries are on gold basis, their legal
tender silver being exchangeable for
gold, but the bimetallic trade is small.
LET Europe serve as the example. While
much less than half of its population
has the single gold standard, the fol-
lowing table shows our trade:

Early in 1862 congress. most unwisely, in my
opinion, authorized the issue Of legal tender
paper to circulate as money, and the usual and
Inevitable result followed. Gold ceased to be
used as money and the banks and the treasury
having suspended specie payments, the coun-
try was flooded with depreciated currency
worth at times less than 80 cents ON the dollar.
Later on fractional paper currency was au-
thorized by congress, and the effect Of this
was to drive out Of circulation even the light
weight subsidiary coins. and for many years
not a single piece Of metallic money Of any
kind was used by the people except on the Pa

Col. Lester to DO His Best TO secure
the Needed Appropriation.

Washington, Feb. 3-Representative
Lester says he is confident that he will be
able 10 induce the committee on rivers
and harbors to make some provision for
maintaining the improvements in Savan-
nah harbOr Notwithstanding the fact that
the chief Of engineers failed TO make a
specific recommendation for that pur-
pose. Col. Testers attention was to-day
called TO an editorial in the Morning News
on this subject. and he Is fully alive to
the Importance of the suggestions made by
the Morning News. He regrets that the
chief of engineers failed TO submit an es-
innate for the project IN Savannah har-
Dor, as recommended by Capt. o. M. car
ter, providing S992. go for extension of the
oyster bed training wall between Tybee

has been presented TO the committee by
Mr.. Lester, and he is assured that If the
project is not provided for In the bill now
In course OF preparation. provision will be
made for maintaining the present I'M
prOVement.
There is an effort on the part Of Speaker
Reed and his republican Meutenants in
the House to keep down al appropriations
TO the lowest notch. The Secretary Of
war has also cut off many proposed ap-
preparations for river and harbor work
by directing the chief OF engineers to with
hold recommendations on estimates in
many instances. The committee when ap-
pealed to invariably take refuge behind
the fact that the Secretary of War has
failed to recommend appropriations in the
cases complained. Col. Lester. as a mem
familiarity with Savannah harbor. will be
able TO enlighten his associates as to the
absolute necessity for an appropriation

ST. PAUL TO RIDE THE SEAS.
THE TUGS SUCCEED IN MOVING HER
$50 FEET.

The Vessel Expected TO Go out With
the Next Flood Tide Tomorrow.
The Waves Beating Against Her
BrOadside With Great FOrce-The
Vessel Not believed to Have Sus-
tHined Any Damage.
New York. Feb. "A high tide and
heavy northeast wind materially aided
the wreckers at work on the stranded
steamship ST. Paul this morning. The
tugs began hauling on the big ship as
early as 10 o'clock She rocked in her
cradle in the sand and this gave the
wreckers an advantage that they have
not yet had in their work
At noon the wreckers ceased hauling on
the steamer. When work was stopped
they had moved the big ship fully twenty
five feet.
The tugs made no attempt to work on
the steamer this afternoon because of
the low tide, but operations were resumed
about 10 o'clock tonight. At midnight
the ships officers reported over the tele-
phone that the four tugs at work had
succeeded in moving the ship about $50
feet in a northeasterly direction
At II 30 O'Clock the tide commenced fall
ing, but work was not relaxed.
The waves are beating against the
broadside of the steamer with great force,
but il is not thought that she has sus-
tanned any damage.
Notwithstanding the heavy storm to-
night, hundreds of people braved the ele-
ments and stood on Ocean avenue watch
ing the boat move
At midnight it was stated that if the
st. Paul is not fioated tonight she will
go out with the next flood tide, which
occurs about noon tomorrow.
