TWO PLANS COMPARED.

In another column this morning will
be found a comparison of the views OF
ex-Congressman 7. j. Clunie In 1893,
and those Of exCongressman 7. J.
Clunie in 1896 on the question OF the
b3-cent dollar It will be noticed that
while the Clunie of '93 insisted upon
silver coin having the intrinsic value
with which 1t Is stamped, he now favors
the tree and unlimited coinage of silver
at ehs ratio Of 16 to 1, under which the
bullion value Of the coin Is but little
move than half the call and legal tender
value.
Mr. Clunie In the first instance advo-
GATED q financial system closely re-
sembling that advanced in these COL
umns SO frequently In the past two
months. Mr.. Clunie would have silver
coinage limited to 50-cent pieces as the
maximum denominadon-no silver coins
Of greater value than 90 cents to be
minted. He would have so cents worth
of silver or silver and gold put into
every 50-cent piece.
In the Record Union" plan the idea
IS that all silver coinage shall be legal
tender for $50, and that all the surplus
silver In the treasury shall be tmmedi-
ately coined. raising the volume of our
silver currency at once to sum be-
tween 100000. 900 and $500. 100000
To the more effectually force silver
into circulation we would have no gold
coined under the denomination of $50,
nor any issue of paper based on gold
of greater denomination than $40. Mr..
Clunie would have no coinage Of gold In
less sums than $40 pieces. Mr.. Clunie
would stop the coinage of silver dollars
utterly. The Record Union" would not
He says the silver dollars never were
e success and never will be-" The Rec
ord thinks they can be made a
success under the limitations of its plan.
Mr.. Clunie would have no bills issue
CT less denomination than $40. The
Record Union" suggests that for con-
venience there should be a silver note
of $40 denomination Mr.. Clunie would
have all small bills and gold called In
at once The Record Union" would
have that left to the natural processes
under which small gold would disap-
pear.
Il will be observed. however, that the
sx-Consressman's plan and the sug-
gasttons Of the Record Union" really
move Ia the same direction and indicate
prscticability. The idea is to enlarge
ths volume of our silver currency, make
silver the medium for all domestic uses,
and leave gold to answer TO the needs
Of commerce. Thus the two metals
could serve their purposes-silver be
forced into circulation and gold not
b driven out
But II is rather amusing to find the
ex-Oongressmana abandoning his sensible
plan Of 90 for the radical. impracticable
and revolutionary attempt to swing the
world by the ears. But such are the de-
nands Of partisanship.

44s MISERY
WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE YOUNG
MEN OF THE DAY?

Cigarette smoking is one of the evils
which is fast increasing among the young
men of the period. It is age of nervous
ness; nervous excitement, nervous weak
ness and debility Is the growing malady Of
the day Minds are over burdened in
school, the pleasures of social life follow
business worry; intemperance, sexual ex-
cesses or abuses over excite the already
enfeebled nerves and result In exhausting
diseases or drains upon the nervous system.
It's q drag and q handicap to every
young man to be a sufferer from nervous
debility or weakness, low spirits, irritable
temper, impaired memory, loss of will
power, and the thousand and one derange-
ments of mind and body that result from
pernicious habits often contracted through
ignorance of natures laws. The wreck of
constitution, weakened vitality and manly
power, following such habits would be a
sorry ending to life in this splendid age of
learning and labor. It will fast become an
age of unsettled brains and shattered nerves
unless our young men knoW themselves.
To reach, reclaim and restore such
unfortunates to health and happiness, is
the aim of the publishers of a book Of
I36 pages, written in plain but chaste
language, on the nature, symptoms and
durability, by home treatment, of such
diseases. This book will be sent sealed,
IN plain envelope, on receipt Of this no.
tice with ten cents in stamps, for postage.

Mr. Bryan Is getting tangled up in
himself. He needs a guardian. At
Bridgeport he said: You cannot have
honest money and a gold standard at
the same time" Then some one in the
audience asked him "Why?" and Mr..
Bryan replied that "the gold dollar
grows fatter daily, while the honest
dollar remains just a dollar" Accord
ing to that he added: "A Mexican dol
lar Is an honest dollar, for If melted it
is worth just as much for bullion as 1t
was as coin" Then the voice again
asked him, How much Is it worth?"
and Mr.. Bryan replied, Just as much
as the bullion is WORTH" and added,
Il want to ask you If that is not an
honest dollar according to those who
say that an honest dollar is dollar
that loses nothing by melting?' There
can be no mistake about this. All the
reporters agree as to the language used
and Mr.. Bryan has not denied it. But
suppose he had applied his reasoning
to the American dollar? What would
he have been forced to reply? That it
is worth as bullion just what it is
as coin? Certainly not Suppose he
had been asked what the melted gold
dollar would be worth as bullion?
Would truth not have compelled him to
say Just as much in one form as in
another?' And why must he have so
replied? Because gold has a stable and
fixed value the world over. So, too,
had Mr.. Bryan been asked what the
melted Mexican dollar would be worth

THAT LATEST M'KINLEY LETTER

When the Republican party has in
sisted that Il Ia not the enemy of en-
larged silver coinage; that It is in ia
vor OF augmenting the volume of our
silver currency. It has been met by
5eers of incredulity from the radical sill
yer men, and fat contradiction by the
Bryanites, who insist that the Republi-
can party Is gold and single standard
party. The party nominee In one day
has been charged with being the oppo-
nent OF silver coinage enlargement and
IN the next his record Is quoted while in
Congress, showing that he voted for
and advocated enlargement of the sill
Yer currency. 1t has been one of the
amusing things of the campaign that
the Bryanites seem absolutely oblivious

character Of their arguments in this re-
spect- This condition has now been

The TulaI,e Times" saws.

AC 1 0Ao1 AlLucS says.
Our Republican friends ought to find
some way to make Mckinley say
whether or not he favors the issuance
Of bonds in time Of peace. Now is the
time for the Canton man to talk.
There Is no need, for no Republican
President ever yet issued bonds for the
conduct Of the Government In time OF
peace. To Democratic Presidents has
that humiliation always been reserved.
But thereby hangs a tale. The radical
silver mon in the Senate Of the United
States combined to block legislation
agreed upon by both Democrats and
republicans in Congress, to provide
revenue to meet Government expense;
they refused to permit any remedial
measure to pass unless ridden by a
provision for the free coinage of silver
at the ratio Of 16 to /. In that stress
Congress adjourned. What could the
President do? We pity more than we
condemn President Cleveland in that
1t remained for his own party to fog
MIN in the open. and take up with a
new fad in order to divert attention
from its failure withfree trade and tariff
tinkering, and Cleveland thus becomes
the scapegoat of his party.

The Democratic party is in favor Of
the immediate abandonment of the gold
standard and the substitution for it of
free and unlimited coinage Of silver"
exclaimed Mr.. Bryan in his speech at
New York on Monday Of this week. At
last we have it then from Bryan's own
lips that his party is a monometallic
party. Yet Judge Gaynor, the eminent
jrrist and Democrat Of Brooklyn, de-
clares that the Democratic party is a
bimetallist party and always has been.
The record-union., 1896-10-01

only protection or free trade remain.
all the Republican party claims Is, that
the silver dollar shall be made just as
good as the gold dollar In intrinsic value.
That gold and silver bullion shall enter
the mints on the level and leave them
on the square. Just that and nothing
more. That is to say, put a dollars
worth OF gold into the gold dollar, and
a dollars worth Of silver into the silver
dollar. Perfectly simple. that.

ernor Mckinley In 1890 to Hon. E. S.
Perkins while Mckinley was in Con-
gress. In that letter Mr.. Mckinley tells
Mr.. Perkins: IT have always been in
favor Of the free and unlimited coinage
Of the silver product OF the United
States and have so voted on at least
two occasions during the time I have
been in public life" Then Mckinley
adds:
I was not willing to extend this coin
age to the silver Of the world and open
our Mints to foreign countries without
charge, as proposed by gentlemen on
the floor of the House. My purpose
was to secure immediate legislation
that would credit and dignity our sill
yer coin. / believe the law which we
enacted this session will accomplish
that result It utilizes every dollars
worth Of the silver product of the
United States, and even more.
Further on he says. and thus con-
cludes:
With me political and economic ques-
tionS are a conviction, and while l may
not always be right, / am always will
ing to let those whose suffrage I seek
know exactly what they are.
There is nothing in this letter call
ing for disapproval. 1t emphasizes the
claim all along made that the Repub-
lican nominee is not only not the op
ponent Of silver, but Is its friend, and
that Governor Mckinley is fortified in
the declaration all along made in his
behalf, that he favors the enlargement
Of the volume of our silver coinage.
He is opposed to opening our gates to
the inpour Of the silver Of the world
until at least there is reached interna-
tional agreement, under which there
would arise no such danger. He is In
favor of the honest dollar in silver and
In gold; he would credit and dignity
our silver coin" We suggest that the
Bryanites scare up some more Of Nc
Kinley's frank and manly letters.
Governor Mckinley, in his address,
to the veterans of the war on Tuesday,
rose to a level of eloquence that is felt
passioned yet dignified address. His
analysis of the motive that actuated the
men in blue to enter the battlefield In
the dark days was not only eloquent
but philosophic and profound That it
was patriotically moving we can well
understand. The Governor stated his
position very clearly and unmistaka-
bly, on the question Of paying the pen
sioners. He Is the friend Of silver, the
friend Of the system that would main
tain gold and silver at parity. His
record and his vote as a legislator show
that he is not an enemy Of the white
metal: but he declared with emphasis
full Of meaning and charged with patri-
otic fervor that he wants the pensions
of the veterans paid in full, not cut
down by payment In poor money; he
wants these veterans, who are the
largest creditors of the nation, paid In
the best money in the world, dollars
worth Of cents for dollar every day
and everywhere. He wants them
paid In a money that does not rest on
mere fiat, and the value Of which does
not depreciate in the fire. And so will
say to the people on the Sd Of Novem-
Der.

And why should not Egypt be free
and independent? Why should it be
and remain subservient to Turkey and
a servitor of Government that Is In
finitely its inferior in all respects? The
dispatches say there Is a movement on
foot on the part Of the Khedive to
make his nation free one. Let it be
hoped that he will succeed. The Turk
ish Government cannot hold Egypt
tributary to It for an hour without the
consent of the European Powers and
Russia. That their interests are more
conserved by the present situation
than by the one proposed, we on this
side Of the water cannot understand.
Egypt has not to her score any such
atrocities as are chargeable to the
Turk. Egypt Is fairly tolerant coun-
try. Property and life is well pro-
tected there, and foreigners are quite
as safe there as In any other than their
home country. Egypt has very much
advanced in civilizing methods and
arts. She has a better educational and
a better social system. Her people are
In the better sense producers. and In the
best sense the Khedive favors advance
and betterment In all directions. Reli-
gious fanaticism Is not so rank or of
fensive in Egypt as In Turkey, save
among the Soudan tribes. and these
Egypt has long endeavored to subdue,
and II even now laboring in that di-
rection with English aid, that the slave
trade may be broken up. and the whole
valley of the Nile be brought under
civilizing influences. No, there is no
reason why Egypt should not be free,
and there is nothing to prevent that
consummation but the jealousy and
suspicion the European Powers enter
tain regarding each other.
