The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1896-11-18

WHEN Abraham Lincoln was elected
president in 1860, some admirers of
Seward found consolation for defeat in
the assurance that the Sage of Auburn,
as secretary of state, would be "the
power behind this throne" Mr.. Sc
ward soon learned to make mental
ebeisance to the throne, in its very
front, at its lowermost step. There
was no place behind or on the level of
the elevation occupied by this I'M
crowned sovereign for any other
power. Similar representations are
now made respecting Major Mckinley.
Mark Hanna is the power that is TO
mould President Mckinley like clay in
the hands of the potter. Major Nc
Kinley is very likely to be wise, reso-
lutte and tactful president, taking judi
cious counsel from competent and pa
triotic friends and associates, among
whom Mark Hanna has demonstrated
his fitness to stand pre-eminent.

THE Springfield Republican, the pam
egyrist of the Cleveland administration,
and its pilot to some of its worst blum
ders, is assuming the role of mentor to
the incoming administration. "The
way" it sagely remarks, "to hold the
home market is now for the republi-
cans to abandon their more-tariff in
tentions." The way for Holland to
keep back the sea is not to raise more
dikes against it, and TO abandon those
already built. The way to increase
the revenue is to diminish the sources
of revenue, and borrow money to
carry on the government. There will
be change in the policy and the ad-
~inistration of the government on and
after March a, next. The peculiar pc
litical philosophy and political economy
of the mugwump will be replaced by
common-sense and business methods.

IF full statement of the facts shall
show that the Diplomatic victory in the
Venezuelan contest is as complete as it
appears to be from the unofficial re.
ports published, there will be honor for
the administration and real cause for
joy among the American people, ex-
cepting always those Anglomaniacs
who denounced President Cleveland for
his courageous Venezuelan message,
the one redeeming act of his admins
tration Of the foreign department.
These bleer-eyed patriots saw only war
in the manly defence of weak sister
republic, and the firm assertion of an
unwritten law of American foreign
policy.

SENATOR CARTER has already said
that the silver republicans have no
longer anything to gain by blocking
the tariff legislation which the House
so ardently desired last session, and
now Senator Morgan, who has just re-
turned to Washington, declares that he
for one on the democratic side of the
chamber will not oppose it in any way.
He intimates, further, that there may
be other democratic senators who will
feel the same way about it. He thinks
it would be good idea, too, to get the
president on record in this matter. In
England's peaceful acquiesence in the
American plan for settling the Ven
ezuelan boundary question, Senator Nor
gan scents trouble from British inter-
ference in Nicaragua in matters relat-
ing to the building of the canal.

THE worst inconsistency of the free
coinage people is the ratio at which
they insist silver must be coined. They
want it coined at l6 to or not at all
That is, they would put into the silver
dollar just l6 times as much metal as
they have in the gold dollar. On this
basis before either piece of metal is
converted into stamped money, the
piece of gold money would sell for 10C
cts, while the silver piece would sell for
about 80 cents. 1t is perfectly clear
that unless the so cent piece is redeem
able in, and interchangeable with the
gold piece, the two dollars will not
circulate side by side. Yet the silver
bug rails at the government for keep
ing a gold reserve to make this so cent
dollar pass for 100 cents.

FARMERS in making up their minds
how to vote this Fall should recOllect
that Mr.. Bryan is the rankest kind of
a Free Trader, and says farmers do
not need any protection on hay, wool,
sheep, cattle, butter, eggs, ETC., but are
better off without it. His votes in
Congress were always in favor of Free
Trade. If elected President farmers
will get no relief from competition
from the markets of Canada and other
countries.

WE believe that there are many who
absolutely shun the editorial column of
their country newspaper, believing
that nothing can come from such a
source that amounts to much. To
these we would say, try it a while.
Don't condemn anything without a
hearing. You are Liable to receive
some grains of truth that will ripen in
to fruitful benefits, even from so lowly
a thing as country newspaper. Read
all of your paper, for you don't know
in what insignificant corner you may
find the best thing for you. Try and
understand the theories your editor
advances, and if they should chance
to not correspond with your own ex-
actly, don't rail at him and call him a
BLASTED idiot" without brains enough
to run hand organ, and threaten to
stop your paper, but instead, just call
on him and set him right if you can;
but the chances are that you will have
far less self esteem when you get
through the interview than you had
before. Treat your paper just as you
would a kind, well meaning neighbor,
and you will get the best results from
your intercourse with it,

DOUBLE STANDARD.

A double standard of money car
only be maintained by putting the
same commercial value Of metal in the
coin of each standard. If an actual
dollars worth of silver is put into the
silver dollar, and a dollars worth OF
gold into the gold dollar, then these
two dollars both become standards
The laws of commerce will make
them such without any other legisla.
ton. Commercial law is superior to
legislation in the fixing of values. II
is visionary to suppose that legislation
can make double standard of money
or anything else. Is it reasonable to
suppose that legislation can make the
price of wheat and corn the same
throughout the markets of the world
Or that one bushel of beans should be
equal to two bushels of peas through
out the country? Wouldn't the COM
mercial law, with reference to supply
and demand, fix the proportionate val
ues of these commodities in spite of
all statutory law that might be enact
ed? Simply the same rule applies to
silver and gold. 1t is not one whit
easier to regulate the relative values of
these commodities than those of any
two other products of our country.

HON. Il. III. PARKINSON will be a can
didate to succeed himself as member
from the Sd Legislative district of st.
Clair county. Mr.. Parkinson certainly
deserves denomination and re-elec-
ton. His election in "a was the first
election of republican member from
the Sd district since w. III. Ballentine
was elected in 1880. There is no ques-
ton but that Mr.. Parkinson's personal
popularity contributed largely to the
regaining of this district to the repub-
licans. His majority over Win j..
Sweet, popular young democrat of
Riley township, was over 500, a most
flattering tribute to Mr.. Parkinsons
vote getting abilities. In the House
he was fortunate in always being ar
rayed on that side of each important
question which was afterwards
found to be right. He championed
successfully many good and meri-
torious enactments, and performed
his duties as legislator with
credit to himself and the fullest of
satisfaction to his constituents. Pro
badly no other man in the 3rd District
is better acquainted throughout its
confines, or better understands the re-
quirements of its member in the state
legislature, than popular, good natured

If so cents or IS cents worth of sill
yer be put into dollar, and both the
gold and silver dollar are made legal
tender (without the gold redemption
feature) it is easy enough to see that
people would use the cheaper dollar
and hoard or sell the dollar of in
trinsic value. The silver dollar would
be as good as the gold dollar to
pay debts with, but the gold dollar
would sell in the market by weight al
premium. Therefore gold would &C
out of circulation at the same time un
less one was made redeemable in the
other-the cheaper in the more valu
able. Silver and gold circulates to
gether today because the silver is
practically redeemable in gold. Not
by statute, but by action of each sec.
rotary of the treasury, whose policy
has always been to keep all of our diff
ferent kinds of money at par.

John Murray, editor of the Sunday
Herald, and the Bob Burdette, of the
Seventh District Journalism, has the
following to say of C. II. Mckinley, al
erstwhile republican politician of Min
den City but now silver washed can
didate for honors in the tripocratiC
camp. In using "Heliotrope" to excite
the risibles of the readers of the Sun
day Herald, Mr.. Murray has undoubt
edly given the Sanilac county states
man all the fame he has in these parts
OUR BLooMIN' HELIoTRoPE.
"The Sunday Herald pleads guilty of
Mckinley. He is our own Heliotrope.
We have the exclusive right to him
In an idle moment we took fancy To
see what we could do with him. The
result surpassed our happiest antieipa-
tions. Such blooming success as Nc.
Ginley became under our tender
manipulation has seldom been sur
passed. We brought him fame. We
made him senator. We had the
muses. haunt his couch and the cock
roacher sing under his window. His
law practice grew large and lucrative
and prosperity smiled upon him. The
laugh of buoyant joyousness spread
over his face like lump of butter over
a hot pancake, and the "joll goose
hung high. But now that we have got
Mckinley, what in thunder shall we do
with him? SO long as he was Repub-
lican it was fun. 1t was jolly, rip
roaring fun. But now he is a silver
Republican lie is part and parcel
of the tripartite agreement of Bay
City. Heliotrope, with his yellow
jacket and peacock feathers, is entirely
our own, and again we say what shall
we do with him? We can't run him
for congress. The idea is ridiculous.
But he is serious-woefully and won
derfully serious, and so solemn about
it! o, Heliotrope go backl Don't you
hear Billy Dawson calling to you, and
Rudolph Papst? o, Mac, Rudolph
wants you so bad. Go back, Mac
dear, go back, and tell them that you
