SCARCELY TO THE POINT

The communication which we pub
nsh from reverend gentleman of
New Prague this morning embodies a
view of the silver question which we
could scarcely be expected to discuss
as laymen. We may, however. ven
ture few remarks on the points that
he makes in the order presented.
l. We are not aware that political
economy has been made a matter Of
divine revelation. Perhaps the near
est approach made to it was
when the Heavenly Economist, gave
all men the command: Thou shalt
not steal" This is a very good work
ing rule for all questions of politics
and economics. If our knowledge of
scripture serves US right, one of the
earliest occasions in which silver was
mentioned was when Abraham bought
piece of ground for a graveyard. and
one of the latest was when Judas sold
his Master for thirty pieces. If we were
going to discuss this subject as mat
ter of religion and not of politics. it
seems to us that the fact of sill
yer having been used as the price of
the great transgression would tell
against it in the mind of our reverend
and learned friend.
2. That money is the money of the
common people which best serves the
common peoples wants and does them
no wrong Tho form, Of ,,,oYo,r .--z..,
we shall use is matter, properly, Of
convenience; one kind of coin for small
amounts and another for large. The
idea that different varieties of money
have different influences upon human
character, we cannot think to be other
than trick of the Imagination.
and 4. Under these headings we
find only the very common confusion
between bimetallism and silver mono
metallism. More than nine-tenths of
the people of the United States believe
in bimetallism. The trouble about the
present proposition, which is to coin
silver in unlimited quantities, at a fcti-
tious and impossible ratio, is that
L
gree of bimetallism which we now
have, and make it's restoration in the
future impossible. We do not want to
prevent the agitation of social ques-
tons. It is great pity that the social
grievances which need to be redressed
should have been thrust into the back
ground by the rise to prominence of
this silver question: since there are an
many things in the state that need to
be set right, while the free coinage agi-
tation will do nothing except to create
still greater inequalities by enabling
one man to wrong another We can
not but commend to the serious consid-
Grafton OF our reverend correspondent
the moral aspect of the proposition to
so debase our currency by an unlimited
use of lightweight dollars that all
debtors, including the workingman at
the end of each days toll, should be
paid In a currency worth only half
what 1t pretends to be.

It is impossible to read his

half hour at Kingston. From it's spec

windows framed the faces of working
men and working girls, to the city hall
Not less than 1900 people were packed
upon the green, many of them working
men. Mr.. Bryan spoke to them from
the steps of the hall where he stood
under festooned flags. He was intro
duced by the Hon. John d. Cummings
and the speech which he delivered in
spired cheers after every striking point
After the speech the party made d.
dash to catch the Albany train and was
ferried across the Hudson on a ting
beat to the Rhinecliff station. landing
just as the train pulled in. The Hud.
son depot was surrounded by 500 or
1000 people, who came about the car
with the familiar yells To them Mr.
