NO QUESTION OF DlSUNlON.
Tho Only Issue Of tho Campaign Is Order
Against Anarchy. .---

As members Of one national house
hold it is imperatively the interest Of
all right minded citizens TO prevent the
nation from becoming prey to the ele-
ments now conspiring to convert its tre-
mendous energies into forces OF destruc-
tion and iconoclasm. We have settled
the issue of disunion forever; it remains
now to settle finally and forever the is
sue of anarchy, to save a government OF
the people from becoming government
Of fanatics and sans-culottes, and to
make despotism impossible by preserv.
ing the liberty Of our fathers, as they
established it and as they intended that
it should be preserved. For every citi-
zen who takes pride In the American
name, and who is anxious for the wei
fare of himself, of his family and Of
posterity, the issue is as grave and mo-
mentous as any which ever challenged
the patriotism and the intelligence of
the American people. AS Major McKin-
ley, "a veteran of Is pitched battles Of
the war, said few days since to his
visiting comrades:
"There has been no time since the
veterans laid down their arms when we
had greater need for patriotic men than
now, and the response to the crisis OF
the hour will come from all sections Of
our common country. We have reached
a point in our history when all men
who love their country must unite to
defeat by their ballots the forces which
now assault the country's honor
Under such inspiring leadership who
can falter in fhe confidence that the is
sue will be met as resolutely, as sternly
and as decisively as disunion was met

supply and demand. The silverites claim
that the government would be better off
IL it opened the mints freely for un.
limited coinage at that ratio, but we be-
lieyo they do not now claim that the
market could be supported by fiat and
admit that gold would.go out, and leave
the country on silver basis.
OF course nothing else could bo expected
with the government Offering an ounce
OF gold for l6 ounces OF silver, where an
ounce of bullion gold ill fetch 81
ounces OF silver in open market.

The Great silver Speculation,

To go to the silver standard-an in
evitable result Of the free coinage of sill
yer at l6 to lis 10 put the money Of
the country at the mercy of the silver
barons Speculation III silver would
drive its price up and down. The actual
value Of the dollar would depend en-
tirely on the price Of silver bullion. It
might he worth 90 cents, gold, today
and 4S cents, gold, tomorrow and 30
cents the day after. The wheat buyers
would guard against possible loss to
themselves by discounting possible
downward fluctuations. IL experience
showed that the silver dollar was liable
TO vary cents, gold, in bullion value,
they would pay 8 cents less bushel for
wheat all the time. IL silver dropped,
they would still be safe from possible
loss. If il did not fall or rose Temporal
rily, their profits would he greater. Tho
farmer would have to Stand the loss

CAUSE OF LOW PRICES.
Cheap Land, Machinery and Increased
Production Responsible.

Production Responsible.
1t is an interesting circumstance that
at time when the silverites are at
tempting TO convince the farmers Of
this country that the low prices Of grain
have been caused by the gold standard
the people of England are celebrating
the jubilee or fiftieth anniversary of the
repeal of tho corn laws. That repeal
took the tariff off grain and gave the
people of England cheaper food, though
for time it was prejudicial to the
farming class. But the statesmen OF
England saw that it was better that tho
people should be fed than that one class
of producers should receive .oxorbitant
prices for their grain. 1t was the repeal
of the corn laws that lowered the price
of English wheat, for the English
farmer could not compete with the
product of the new and cheap wheat
lands Of the United States. He was
therefore Obliged to abandon to great
extent the cultivation of wheat and use
his lands for grazing, cattle and sheep
raising and in other ways that would
pay better.
From 1S46 10 1850 the English
farmers felt and suffered from the COM
petition of the farmers of New England
and of the middle states. From 1860
until 1885 the farmers of the New Eng
land and middle states in like manner
suffered from tho competition of the
farmers of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan.
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Mime
sofa, who could raise still cheaper
wheat. They in turn are suffering from
the competition of the rich wheat lands
Of the Dakotas and the great northwest,
where one man with the aid of ma
chinery can do the work of ten under
tho old system. And not only do they
have the competition Of our own lands,
but also the competition Of Argentina,
India, Australia. Russia and Siberia,
where wheat lands to an enormous ex-
tent have been opened to cultivation.
Take Argentina, for instance. In
1889 the entire product of wheat was
only 1850, 600 bushels. Last year it
was over 80, 900, 900, Of which 80, 0,000.-
600 was exported. Now it is the export
. able surplus of grain that fixes the price,
and that y settled in Liverpool, and
the American farmer can only obtain
the Liverpool price for his wheat, less
the cost of transportation thither. In
that market he comes in competition
with all the world, and he must be sat-
isfied with the price thero or he must
quit raising wheat Cheap lands, ma
chinery and improvement in transporta-
ton facilities have lessencd the cost Of
wheat growing the world over, and it
consequently must be sold for low prices.
The American farmers must do as their
English brethren commepced to do 90
years ago-diversify their Industries.
Let them not think that the money
standard is the cause of the low prices.
1t is not. nor will any change i'll it do
them any good. Chicago Times-Her-

"A THREATENING OUTLOOK.


If political sentiment in Spain is cor
rectly ref iected in the news dispatches
from that country, there IS indeed danger
OF war.
The Spanish government appears to be
all but hopeless of subduing the Cuban
insurrection.
At the same time Spanish "honor"
makes impossible the surrender of the
Spanish control of Cuba and the release
of the country to the Cubsns.
Spain, in other words, breads the
humiliation OF defeat in Cuba, and yet
defeat appears TO be Inevitable.
What IS to be done in this predicament?
Apparently, Spanish political sentiment
sees a way out OF it-with homer rather
than humiliation.
In n word, IL the sentiment at Madrid
is judged rightly, the way out is through
war with the United States
To satisfy Spanish honor, war with the
United States might be provoked. 1t
might be essily brought about by the
committing OF acts that our government
would have to regard as casus bslli.
Spain would lose in such war. The
Spanish politicians know that. The
transfer of her military resources from
Cuba to fight the United States would re-
suit in the slipping o, Cuba from Spanish
control, the triumph of the insurrection.
Spanish politicians know that.
Bot the twin disasters OF the loss OF
Gu through war with the United States
and defeat in such war would be "hon-
orabie" loss and defeat.
SPAN would not be "humiiiated" IL
Cuba were lost to her under such cir
cumstances.
And to secure assured loss and defeat
In aonor rather than suffer the humilia-
tion of letting Cuba go because spain is
not able to hold Cuba-that seems to be
the idea OF the Spanish politicians.
The idea is, indeed, threatening one.
II is imperative upon the government OF
the United States 10 avoid the smallest
provocation at this time, lest it be seized
upon by the Spanish politicians TO carry
out so conscienceless purpose as they
are credited with. -

themselves. The physician found the dog
TO be perfectly healthy. The boy is at
tackled at short intervals with violent con-
yulsions, during which he barks, froths at
the mouth and snaps at whoever ap-
proaches him He Is unable TO touch wa
ter or even to bear breath of air upon
his body.
A consultation of physicians has been
held, and all agree that no cause exists for
the disease other than the imagination OF
the sufferer. 1t is impossible to convince
him of the fact, however, and his life Is de

WESTERN MORTGAGES.
The East Not Alone Affected by tho Seal
ing OF Debts Proposed.

ing OF Debts Proposed.
The scaling down of debts by silver
initiation would not affect the east alone,
though that portion of the country
would suffer the most seriously. 1t is
impossible to ascertain the residence OF
all mortgage holders, but the census
bureau attempted to 10 so in l02 repre-
sentative counties scattered throughout
the country. In the western and south
ern counties embraced in tho inquiry
as n rule less than half Of the mort
cages were made to residents. In Cali
fornia, however, nearly all the mort
gage debt was held by Califorrians, so
that this state at least has an identity
of interest with the east as to this mat
ter. In Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Michigan and Tennessee the percentage
of local mortgage holders is rather high

small number Of resident mortgage

NO REPUTATION.
Massachusetts Set tho Whole Country .
Good Example In 1902.

It becomes from time 10 time my off,
cial duty to sign bonds issued by the
commonwealth Of Massachusetts, for
loans Of money. Some Of these bonds
read, Interest and principal payable in
gold COIN" Some of these bonds have
no such provision. Why is it? 1t. is bo-
cause. in the first place, the legislature,
in authorizing some Of these great loans
for the abolition Of grade crossings, for
the metropolitan water system and for
such other important matters as the
suppression Of the gypsy moth. has seen
fit in its acts to specify that they be
paid in gold coin. In those cases these
bonds bear that provision, and yet that
is wholly unnecessary. If not word
was said about tho payment III gold
coin of any loan that the commonwealth
of Massachusetts, makes they would
still be payable, principal and interest.
in gold coin, because by section 81 OF
chapter 16 it is provided that the inter.
est and principal of all scrip or bonds
Of the commonwealth are payable and
when due shall be paid in gold coin or
its equivalent. That is general act
covering all issues of bonds by the COM
monwealth Of Massachusetts,, and when
was that act passed? Was it in q time
Of great prosperity, when it seemed easy
to meet such obligations in gold? No,
gentlemen. The commonwealth Of Mas
sachusetts, through its Legislature,
placed that act upon its statute books
in the dark and dubious days Of 1862.
That is the way in which the credit Of
this commonwealth has been maintained
as the foremost among all her sister
states, and the equal well nigh of any
civilized community or aggregation Of
men anywhere in the world. Speech Of
Governor Woscott of Massachusetts,.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1896-07-31

The speech made by the Hon. THOMAS
b. REED the other day was an especially
good speech. 1t will bear close inspec-
iion in cold type. 1t was particularly
smooth. 1t was calm, conservative and
finely finished. II was clear, simple and
strong In expression. II was couched In
excellent English. As a piece OF cam
paign literature 1t was a gem. We have
never listened to or read a campaign
speech that surpasses it for admirable
points, and It ia difficult to call from
memory anything quite SO good.
