The Value OF Gold.
On. Y. Tribune.)

The value of silver has not gone
down, say the Popocrats. 1t is the in
crease i'll the value of the gold dollar
that is causing all our financial woes.
The gold dollar is worth a great deal
more than a hundred cents. and that
IS why the prices of farm produce have
declined. If silver We're fully remone-
tized, its value would rise, and the value
Of gold would fall until the two were
exactly at par at the ratio of 16 to /.
Thus argue the Juvenile Declaimer and
his followers
But let us see about it, If gold has
risen in value, why has it risen? Such
matters are regulated by the law of
supply and demand. When the demand
70" any commodity exceeds the supply
the price, which is the market value,
rises. When the supply exceeds the
demand, the price falls How is it with
gold? The supply is ample. The an
nuai production of the metal, both in
this country and in the world at large.
is steadily increasing. New mines are
being opened. new processes invented
Goolgardie and the Rand are enormous
ly swelling the output. In 1856 the
worlds production of gold was. in
round numbers, s109,23o.O 600 In 1889 il
was $127 ,050. 900. In 1892 It was s146.-
291 500. In 1894 it was $179. .965. 500. There
is no cause for increase of market val
ue in such figures.
Well, they say. but so much of the
gold is used in the arts that little is
left for use as money, and the demone-
tizatton of silver has therefore caused
contraction of the currency, and that

American peas antry.'
(Boston Transcript

Mr.. Bryan's tongue slipped. no doubt.
yesterday at Springfield. o.. when he SAID
"peaSantrY." "Ycomanry" is the orator =
mouth-filing, understanding word. He
told his hearers that the Democratic par
ty in its Chicago platform is pleading
the cause of a nations peasantry that
cannot be destroyed until you sap the
foundations of our nations greatness. 3"
Even thcnit could not be destroyed. That
which does not exist is proof against de-
siruction.
The peasant class is impossible In this
country. The conditions under which
such a class exists in Europe were left
behind when the American colonies werc
established. and had no more than a ira
ditional meaning when the government
OF the United States was set up. There
Is no act Of civil and political rights for
one class of people, and II different set
for another, in this country. The peas
ant is born down and stays down. and as
a rule his children follow him without ed
ucation, ambition or announcement of
any kind to rise above the lowly place in
which they find themselves.
Even the name is not used here except
rs 4 word of foreign application. because
ii fits no condition of society among us
The rich man of today may be penniless
next week. and the son of the laborer
who tillS our soil or carries brick for the
layer, may be the Presidonto of the Ameri-
can republic - years from now. Educa-
ton is not only provided for the children
OF the poor free of cost but theyare com
PEELED to accept it, often against their
Wills. The poor mans vote. or even the
ignorant mans vote. counts as much as
that of the rich and highly endowed voter
in the next booth.
There may be citizens of this country
who have been peasants in some other
country, but they are not so now. They
take on a new dignity as soon as identi-
fled with our institutions. We are as free
from peasants as from dukes and earls
and II would be sensible to say that
the Chicago platform is cndeavoring to
destroy the nations nobility as that it Is
pleading the cause of nations peasau-

The End Must Not be Lost Sight OF.


1t may become a question before the
end of this campaign whether a vote
for the indianapolis ticket may not
serve the cause Of reputation almost
as effectively as a vote for Bryan. The
most patriotic course is to vote for
Mckinley, in order to assure the over
whelming defeat of the enemies of
honest money.-N. Y. sun.
This is a significant statement for
the sun to make on the day the Nation
al Democratic convention nominated
Palmer and Buckner, a ticket that this
per would ordinarily endorse most
cordially and of which it now has only
the kindest words. The above is. how
ever. in line with what the sun has ad-
vocated from the time the results Of
that Chicago convention became known.
1t was among the first of leading
Democratic organs to appreciate the
full magnitude of the danger contained
in that platform and it distinctly SAW
the necessity for prompt and effective
treatment The malcontents, repudia-
tiOnists, those who would incitc
even class war, to secure their
own selfish purposes must be over
whelmed, anarchism must be uprooted
in its incipiency. 1t must be hands off
the supreme court, not today nor to-
| morrow alone, but so long as this coun-
try shall deserve the name land of the
free. There should be no dallyng with
measures.

they differ in respect to some most es-

identified with Republicans, nor would
the latter wish them to unless they
subscribed to Republican principles Il
| is easy to understand why they want
to save the Democratic party and to
admire their efforts to that end. But
the principles at stake are greater than
any party and the alternatives cannot
be avoided.
The men who assembled at In
dianapolis know as well as Republicans
that the platform upon which Mr.. Nc
kinley stands is safe; they realize
with equal force that the plat
