listing under the aggressive plumes
of Major Mckinley have moved to
make it unanimous, but it is delegates
and not the Associated Press or mi
nority of newspapers that will make
the nomination. A strong majority
Of the delegates 80 far are in the
South. OF these southern delegates
Mckinley has not so far received q
majority in any state except Arksn-
sae, a state which cannot possibly give
the republican ticket single electoral
vote, and probably wlllnot even elect
an electoral ticket.
In Louisiana, where the Associated
Press gives Mckinley practically all
Of the sixteen delegates so far elected
Mckinley has actually fewer votes
than Reed or Allison.
The same is true in Georgia. In
Mississippi he will not have over one
half Of the delegates. In Florida two
delegations were elected, one declar-
ing to be for Mckinley, but not ln-
structed, and the other instructed for
Governor Morton. Iu Texae, Of the
eighteen delegates elected, there has
been but six Mckinley men, Reed and
Allison having the rest in equal num-
bers. In the North the Ohio dele
gates are, Of course, for Mckinley, in
Pennsylvania for Quay or Morton,
and in Illinois ten for Cullon and
two for Mckinley. The Mckinley
managers are grlevously disappoint-
ed in Louisiana, Georgia and Texas,
and are by no means happy over the
results in Illinois. One good thing
can be said, and that is that the con-
test has 80 far been in perfect good
nature, and there is no reason why 1t
should not 20 on so to the end.

From the National Bimetalllst.
The Fixity of Gold.

A London financial circular says
that 1886 has thus far improved
greatly on 1895, and will doubtless
continue to do so for a month to come
and more, at the least. For the vari-
GUS statistical records for which the
werld has to thank Mr.. Sauerbeck,
the Economist and others, show that
January and February, 1896, had, on
an average of all the wholesale prices
Of the chief articles of commerce of
the world, the lowest prices on record.
And this includes silver, which moved
as usual, along with all other COM
modities, only the price of gold re.
manned unGltered, as 1t GI,ooys does
because 1t tcaS fred fifty gears since
By act Of Parliament -BrodstreetS.
The foregoing appears in Brad
streets issue Of the 22nd, and 1t is
reproduced for the purpose of calling
attention to the clause in italics The
price Of gold remains unchanged be-
cause it was fixed fifty years ago by
act OF Parliament
What have our goldite friends tc
say Of that? What becomes Of their
intrinsic value" theory when viewed
in the light of that statementY
And it is one monetary truth that
has appeared in a gold paper. The
value of gold, that is, it's value pei
ounce, expressed in pounds, shillingt
and pence, was fixed by the Englist
Parliament in 1874. In money" il
is worth just what the law says il
shall be worth.
Now, il law fixed the value Of gold
which the goldite assumes to be of {
superior nature and above all law
why can it not fix the money value Of
silver.
The reader will understand that VIC
are referring to the constantly re-
itersted parrot-lke cry that golG
dollar is always worth a dollar, anc
the gold in 1t is just as good as the
dollar itself. So it is, and simply be.
cause the law makes that piece OIL
gold dollar, and it can be worth nc
less.
But it is the money" value of golG
alone that is unchanged. Gold is al
ways equal to gold, but how is it when
compared with anything else? Upon
al average 1t will exchange for twice
as much Of other things as it would
twenty-five years ago, and if that does
not make it "Worth twice as much
then there is no meaning in words.
The simple little statement thus
clipped from Bradstreels' IA strong
gold orgaD) absolutely destroys every
argument that has been made in
favor of the gold standard during the
last twenty years.
The price OF gold remained unalter-
ed, as it always does, because 1t was
fixed fifty years ago by act Of Par
Lament.
