nm ,esue When did Il fail TO be an issue
IN our midst? But two years ago every
Republican on the floor OF Congress voted
for the enactment OF this most noxious
bill. and but three Republicans In the
Senate failed to endorse ~. App'auscJ
Nothing but the steady. unyiclding ef-
forts OF the Democratic party. given by
day and night. prevented the inniction
OF that vile thing upon us. 1t was but
last December that the President Of the
United States again presented that issue
10 Us and urged II upon us. The Min
neapolis convention o-tfully proclaimed
IL as on issue I'm tfcir platform. and Mr.
Mckinley and MIR. Thomas Il. Reed de-
clarcd II 10 be OF Importance. the latter
going SO far as TO say Its passage was
necessary for the permanent domination
OF the Republican party. Here, in
free America II Is proposed by party
closely approximating one half OF our
population that our doors shall be
opened TO a set OF Federal office holders:
that they shall have complete domina-
ton at the ballot-boxes: that our homes
shall be invaded. and that they shall
summon the military power OF the United
States to coerce the voters at their will"
And here. again. puzzling question
arises. With those views OF the force
bill how Is II that Colonel Fellows can
reconcile himself TO canvass which is
practically a canvass for the elevation 10
the presidency OF Mr.. Mckinley. who In
Concrcs- supported and voted for It? He
is an experienced politician. and is fully
aware OF the fact that every vote given
to Palmer and Buckner Is just that much
aid 10 Mckinley.
There is one most remarkable feature
ahout the Democratic party that these
orators should take TO heart: 1t has out
lived all political side-shows, travelling
and local; II has seen parties
come and go: ii has buried the
Wing party and the Know Nothing
party, and IL got ths Republican
party fiat of its back when the latter
was backed by bayonets. 1t will be
living and fourishlng when the Republi-
can party is but memory In the po-
litical world. and when men shall have
forgotten that such combinations as the
Palmer-Buckner boilers ever existed.

u,svaRCrx on BIMETALLIsM.

The Republicans and the Indianapolis
Ala Society essayed to make great capl-
tai for their side out OF the views OF
Carl schurz on the financial issues In
volved in this campaign. But what are
the views of the greatest living German
and greatest European statesman, Prince
bismarck. on this matter? They are
given in correspondence we publish
,bis morning between Bismarck and Gov
ernor Culberson, Of Texas, and we repeat
here the salient point I'm Bismarcks
letter: ] cannot but believe. says he,
that independent action by the United
States i'm the direction OF bime'allisrn
would exert salutary influence upon
me Contamination Of international agree
mont No one acquainted with the
worlds estimate OF Bismarck as a pro-
found thinker on all great questions can
deny that these are weighty words from
a weighty source. Bismarck is another
of the great thinkers who believe that
bimetallism by international agreement
would solve the financial problem of the
world. and would follow upon independ-
ent action by the United States. His
opinion is calculated to cause conserva-
tive men to reflect and take n broader
view OF the financial question. no matter
what may have been their previous ideas
and theories touching that question.

HEAR BISM ARCK.
HIS LETTER TO THE GOVERNOR
OF TEXAS.
He Thinks Independent Action by
the United states Would Aid In
tsrnntiOnal Agreement.

A dispatch from Dallas. Tex. dated
September 10th. says:
In a speech tonight. Governor Culber-
son read the following significant cores
pondence between himself and Prince
Bismarck on the money question:
prince Bismarck:
"Sir,-The great question OF finance Is
now Of supreme interest to the people OF
the United States. Ii Is pretended in
various forms, but I'm a general way II
may be said to be first, whether the
United States shall adopt the single gold
standard. or second, whether they shall
adopt bimetalism with both gold and ST.
yer as the standard or primary money.
The argument I'm favor of each Is well
known to you, but 1t is particularly in
sisted that we should adopt the policy of
bimetallism. because the supply OF gold
in the world for coinage is insufficient 10
meet the demand, and because such
standard will still further deDress the
values Of all property.
Which. in your judgment, is the best
policy to adopt the gold standard or BIZ
metallism, giving your reasons?
what effect, in your judgment, VIII
the immediate adoption of bimetallism by
the United States have on the cause OF
bimetalllsm in Germany and other great
commercial nations?
&C. A. CULBERSON.
Governor OF Texas"
In reply. Prince Bismarck said
FREDERICKSBURG. August a. 1896.
"Honored Sr.-Your esteemed favor
has bsen duly received. | hold that this
Is the very hour that would be advisable
to bring about between the nations
chiefly engaged in the worlds commerce
a mutual agreement in favor OF the es-
Enlistment of bimetallism. The United
States are freer, by far, in their move
ments than any nation Of Europe, and,
hence. If the people Of the United States
should find 1t compatible with their in
terests to take independent action in the
direction OF bimetallism, / cannot but be-
leve that such action would exert a
salutary influence upon the consumma-
ton of international agreement"

A WELCOME VISITOR.

We trust that there win be a large
ms we know it will be an appreciative-au-
dicnce TO hear Colonel Fellows. of New
York, and General Buckner. There are
many reasons for our wishing them
rood house. In the first place. thelr

they are calling before taking their maj
leave. We shall not see them again as
Democratic speakers in Virginia. We
have seen all this before In this State
All along from 1879 10 1881 in Virginia
men we're mounting the stump, announc-
ing that they were too good Democrats
n stay In the Democratic party; so that
row. when they come along. we know
pretty well where they are going with
out looking at their tickets. One OF
these gentlemen. Colonel Fellows. has
spoken here before In the Cleveland
c,mpail,n OF 1892 he spoke a. the odd
Market Hail on the night OF October 2Sth.
we take Il from the report In the Dis
match that the Colonel gave the farmers
some very valuable information, as the
following y'raet from the report viii
show:
According 10 the statement Of Colonel
re,lows. the tariff OF to-day 1.-THE McKin-
lev tarif was then in operation), is ruin

FOR H.i50slle per bushel. and wool from

brings only rs cents. and the wool only
to 10 cents ft
Accepting. for the sake OF argument.
Colonel Fenowss statement that the
high tariff made low wheat. II Is very ex-
,raordInary that he should now be on an
electoneering tour. which. II II has sue
cess. will restore TO the country the
sarlff bill which he then denounced. The
logical result, II seems 20 us. II Colonel
Fellows was right. Is that. If the first
blow the tariff struck wheat knocked It

about 10 cents a bushel. (. 0. b.
The remarks of Colonel Fellows on that
occasion on the force bill formed good

ceiyed by bis audience. as. indeed. his
whole speech was. On this subject he
said. IL,

Business-Men and Gold.
CNew York Journal.)

1t Is easy TO understand why men with
immense fortunes and fixed incomes
should be I'm favor of the gold standard.
They have plenty of money, and the
gold standard increases constantly the
value of the dollar while IL reduces the
value of everything that money will buy.
But why should any manufacturer. mer-
chant, or other businessman whose well
fare is dependent on the general pros
perity side with the plutocracy?
When money rs hard to get prices come
down, purchasers grow scarce, and at
the same time interest rises. As Mr..
Bryan points out, the businessman
makes his money not from the men
from whom he borrows, but from the men
to whom he sells his goods.
The shopkeepers of New York. for ex-
ample. would be immeasurably more
benefited by a rise of 10 per cent. in the
wages Of the workingmen of the city
than by the doubling OF the pile of every
millionaire I'm the United States. A
money system that locks up capital hits
the shopkeeper. because it hits his GUS
toners. The gold standard gives us
money that IL is easy to corner, ana
which II does not pay TO borrow Tor
business purposes, because IL is steadily
approaching in value. The man VINO
borrows that kind of money 70 turn 1t
over gets turned over himself. for. being
under the necessity Of paying back col
lars worth more than those that were
lent him. his profits disappear In the
transaction. Though he may not know
what strikes him, he is sand-bagged by
the gold standard.
The shopkeepers. the manufacturers,
the great mass of businessmen who are
not loaded down with wealth like the
Carnegies. Huntingtons, and Morgan4
and others of the class who are so
anxious for the election OF Mckinley as
TO be willing to pay handsomely Tor ,ne
blessing. are all I'm the same boat VIII
the men who work for wages, either with
their hands or heads.
Free coinage by a great ana opuien'
country. such as the United states 49,
would bring gold down and send silver
nm eoualize their value. and give us a
cnrrency that would adjust itself auto
matically to the expanding needs OF ex-
handing business. II would raise prices
nrofits and wages, and we should nave
a kind of money that, besides oeihE

measuring power, could not be cornered

NOMINEE TEACHER A GOLD-BUG.
He Writes IL Letter. However, En-
dOrsing SeMaII md nrynn.

An Albany telegram of Sunday says
John Boyd Thatcher, tonight gave out a
letter defining his position regarding the
nomination for Governor given him by
the Democratic State Convention.
Mr.. Thatcher. in his letter. says that
his views on the financial question are
now as they were when he delivered his
speech as temporary chairman of the
convention at Saratoga, which sent gold
delegates to the Democratic National Con-
vention. In that speech Mr.. Thacher
spoke of the free-silver movement as
founded on a fallacy, and bound TO work
the destruction of the nations credit
and strength.
Mr.. Thacher strongly endorses Bryan
and Sewall. saying that the nominal
tons were made by a regular national
convention. in whose work the New York
State delegates participated and ac-
quiesced I'm the result. No mention is
made OF the Chicago platform. Nr.
Thatcher endorses every State issue raised
in the Buffalo platform, and makes a
strong denunciation of Plattism.
The position taken by Mr.. Thacher
caused establishment among his warmest
Democratic friends when it was rumored
this afternoon that he did not endorse the
Chicago platform.
