it really take twenty eighteen-inch

The most spacious and plausible
argument in favor of free silver now
comes to the front. If you owe
another certain number of yards
of anything, won't it be easier and
cheaper to pay him IN eighteen
inch yards than in the present
standard?
Yes, if you received thirty-six
inch yards to do it with, but you
will only get eighteen-iAch Yards

the make. Labor, of necessity,
requires short settlements, and they
Of all classes would reap less of the

discussion of these matters. l see
no occasion for making our differ
ences sectional. Here there is no
political hostility toward the West
such as is expressed toward the East
by some Western newspapers and
public speakers. Good citizens
can perhaps best aid the cause of
honest money and law and order by
deYotlng more time to rational ar
gument and less to inefficient abuse.
All questions relating to- the
tariff have become insignificant for
the time being in view of the posi-
bility, however slight, that the
abhorrent principles of the Chicago
platform NAV prevail, The duty
and the necessity to compass the
final overthrow of that platform
by assisting in the defeat of Will
lam j Bryan are most imperative
and solemn. This may most GER
tainly be accomplished by voting
for the electors pledged to the sup
port of William Mckinley; but
have no quarrel with any Demo
crat who adopts any other course
which seems to him equally well
adapted or better adapted to the

Communicated.

To the Editor ofThe Republican.
AT the present time old party
lines are being Obliterated and the
people Of this country who have not
studied the financial situation, or
who are seeking more information,
are IN state of indecision.
The writer has carefully studied
the situation from his standpoint,
trying to divest himself of preiu-
dice, although he had a strong bias
toward free silver. He would like
to express his views in your valuable
paper, hoping to help some others
out of their mist of doubt and I'M
certainty, on the same line Of
reasoning which led him into the
faith as LAID down in the Republican
platform.
Money is measure of values.
Legislation may alter prices, but
can only temporarily alter values,
consequently money is a measure
precisely as the measure of the
amount of goods to be purchased is.
Let us take the yardstick of the
merchant for an example. Now
the Chicago platform, If carried
into effect, will have the same effect
on the business of the country as
though the currency was left in its
present FcOnditiOn and the ward =
stick and other weights and meas
ures decreased one-half, thus max
ing the legal yard eighteen inches
long. Of course the old yard (gold)
would be laid by on the shelf.

MIR. Dana's Opinion as to the
Duty of Democrats.

Mr.. Dana's Opinion as to the
Duty of Democrats.
From the New York Sun.
Some personal response seems to
be due to the numerous friends
who have sought from me an ex-
preston of my individual opinion
as to the duty in the present cam
paign Of those who adhere to the
principles which hitherto have
characterized the Democratic
party.
The declaration of notions adopt
ed in the name Of the Democracy
by the Chicago Convention is for
the most part SO hostile to the doc
trines which have prevailed in the
Democratic party in the past as to
demand its rejection by all those
who would not abandon the Democ-
racy's essential ideas and best
traditions.
The Chicago platform invites
us to establish currency which
will enable a man to pay his debts
with half as much property as he
would have to use in order to pay
them now. This proposition is dis
honest. | do not say that all the adj
yocates of the free coinage of silver
are dishonest. Thousands of them,
millions, if there be so many, are
doubtless honest in intention.
But | am unable to reconcile with
any ideal of integrity a change in
the law which will permit a man
who has borrowed a hundred dol
lars to pay his debt with a hundred
dollars each one of which is only
worth half as much as each dollar
he received from the lender.
The Chicago platform sanctions
the use Of the appointing power of
the President in such a way as to
control the Federal judiciary in
deciding question of constitutional
law.
1t contemplates a change in the
personnel of the Supreme
Court Of the United States to the
end that the recent decision declar-
ing the income tax unconstitutional
may be reversed. Strange times,
indeed, are these, when a man is
told that IN order to be a Demo
crat he must favor the imposition
of an income tax, and the destru G.
ton of the independence of the
judiciary.
Still more alarming is the clearly
implied approval of lawless violence
contained in the denunciatlon of
what is denominated in the plat
form Government by injunction. -
Yelled in the language of modera-
ton, the wild light of anarchy
shines though.
In my opinion, without reviewing
the Chicago platform further, the
declarations IN regard to the cur.
rency, the Supreme Court, and the
income tax and the repression of for.
chile lawlessness by the aid of in.
junction are good enough to demand
its rejection by all good citizens and
the defeat of the candidates who
stand upon it.

Good Roads Pave the Way.

OCCNt ItOoNIS I ave LllG w dNs
With the progress of things edu-
cational and politician in all civilized
countries, from time immcmorlal,
the care Of the roads and taxpayers
thoroughfare has kept an even pace,
says the Boston Courier. The high
way has ever been the great artery
of trade and commerce, and the
roads that led to Rome were the ia
nous prototype of the worlds sub
stantial roads of to-day. Civiliza-
ton opens and clears a track through
every obstacle, and however 1t wind
and interwind it at last again brings
us to the heart of activity and COM
munion with men. Our own an
cestors in America where mighty
men. 1t might, with aptness, be
said that"there were giants in those
days" They Glove their way
through the forest Businesses and
the rough frontiers with steadiness
and patience the benefits of whose
results we are reaping at the present
time. To be sure, they left many
stones unturned, but theirs was the
hard labor, single handed as they
were, and they have left for us the
finishing touches, and, we may say,
the artistic portion Of the work.
Follow the old road, and you shall
come to the haven where you would
be.
The call for good roads is ever
sounding,a and wonderful things have
been done for the pedestrian and
the equestrian within the past eight
years. The cities invade the sa-
cred precincts of the country and
make their way across the fields and
over the mountains, but they send
out before them the herald of their
coming-good roads that must pave
the way for better state of things.
And the increasing relays of
summer boarders that go out from
the cities to find recreation, the pres
enCe Of magnificent hostelries and
splendidlY appointed summer homes
away off in the cool wilderness are
not an unimportand means to this
end. The tourist and the boarder
throughout the summer season pa
tronize the midland or the seward
town and their hotels, which increase
at demand, and upon the same de-
mand the roads widen and grow
beautiful to look upon and to travel
over.
One of the first questions sum
mer people ask is: GLOW are the
roads in such and such part Of the
country, and can we get to and
from town easilY" And so it IS
that we are surprised at finding
paved broad streets IN small towns
and hamlets, because the dwellers
therein recognize that they are one
of the things needful to insure them
their summer living. In Masschu-
sets and New Hampshire the coun-
try cow path is being rapidly trans
formed into the solid and level
though winding street. A good and
easily passable road is therefore not
the least comfort that the city guest
has provided for him, but he is cos
mopolitan enough generally to view
1t not in the light of a selfish luxury.
but as a public necessity and a pub
lie benefit.

WIESIrEG. MarcL 2S--The confer

1890 a. II. at the Hotel Manitoba. The
conference is held with closed doors. At
the morning session it is understood it
was decided to adopt the Nova Scotia

Of the vexed Manitoba question, but it
is known that in many points Premier
Greenway's commissioners will not
consent to the provisions of the Nova
Scotia act. Attorney General Sifton
and Provincial Secretary Cameron are
representing the Manitoba government
at the conference, Premier Greenway
being absent through illness. A men,
ber Of the government said that
there was no reason why the Man
itoba commissioners at the conference
should not agree to the canceling of
the portion Of the schools act of 1890,
providing for religious exercises if said
cancellation would tend to satisfy the
objections of the Roman Catholics.
There We're many, of course, who would
object to the seculariZation of the
schools, but if this plan would be satis-
factory to the minority who might be
allowed to conduct religious exercises
after school hours, it should be pro.
posed by Manitoba A demonstration
has been called for by citizens opposed
to dominion government interference ce
in schools, and it is feared trouble will
ensue if the hot heads of the opposing
sides meets.
