An Election Estimate.

Few men have had SO long and inti-
mate acquaintance with leading poll
ticlans or kept more thoroughly infOr-
med on the tendency of parties than has
Col. Alex. ii. Mcclure, the veteran editor
of the Democratic Philadelphia Times.
The colonel has surveyed the present
political situation with care and his con-
cl,IsiOns are interesting. In Col. Nc
Clure's judgment the following eleven
states are for Mckinley: Connecticut,
Delaware, Maine. Maryland. Massachu.
setts. New Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and
Vermont IL the following five states the
chances are ten to one in favor of McKin-
ley: Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota,
Ohio and Wisconsin, and in the follow
ing eight states the chances are five to
one IN favor of Mckinley: California,
Indiana, Iowa. Kansas, Nebraska, Ore
gon, South Dakota and Washington.
All these states together cast 277 electoral
votes. The states which Col. Mcclure
regards as certain for Bryan are Arkan-
sas, Colorado. Mississippi, Nevada, South
Carolina. Texas and Utah. with total of
81 electoral votes. In the remaining four
teen states the chances are about even
and the total electoral vote 1l9 The
total electoral vote is 447. necessary to
elect. 224. According to this analysis Nc
KiEley will have enough and 50 to spare
even conceding all the doubtful states to
his opponent. Col Mcclure concludes
his survey as follows: "Whilc McKin-
ley's defeat may be regarded as most
remote possibility, his election seems
probable by the largest majority ever
given to national candidate, and by
fully two-thirds Of the electoral vote of
the natiOn.''

What Hanna SAYS.

While Mark Hanna was in Philadelph.
ia attending the conference he spoke
freely of the campaign prospects.
''lf the election were today or within
month"; Mr. Hanna said, IL should not
have any great apprehension, and yet
there is greater doubt today than there
will be a month hence, and the doubt
will prove less as the campaign goes on.
''In the east there is 10 doubt and
nothing that seriously complicates the
campaign. The national committee
knows whereof it speaks when it declares
that no state in the northeastern belt is
in any serious danger from the silver
heresy. The national committee has
fully supplemented the work of the state
and local committees in supplying their
needs. What sentiment for free silver
existed has already yielded to the logic
of facts and experience that has reached
them by word of month or by document.

Iris not money that makes business
1t is business that makes money. In
1892, during Harrison's admins
tration, business was good, and money
was abundant. Every thoughtful
person old enough to vote knows that
to be the truth. The Democrats
pr omised to make business better;
free trade would give us the markets
of the worl1, and business would be
doubled. But free trade ruined the
business Of this country, and made
business better in foreign countries.
Business and money were increased
in foreign countries because the work
that should be done by Americans for
Americans was done by foreigners,
and labor was difficult to obtain in
America, and if obtained at all it was
at lower wages. As plenty of money
was not paid out in doing business in
this country, itdid not circulate freely
among the people, and money was not
SO abundant as in the good Republi-
can times when business was good.
Think the matter over. Millions Of
money lying idle and not employed
in business would do no one any good,
and money would be scarce because
business would not put it in circula
ton among the people. After all it
is business that makes money abun-
dant and easy to get hold of, and it is
not money that makes business.

Financial Definitions.

From the New York Press.
In response to many inquiries as to the
meaning of expressions commonly used
i'm the discussion of issil..s involved in
this campaign, the Press has perpared the
following brief table Of terms and
equivalents:
FREE COINAGE.
The melting and stamping into
money, without charge for the SER
vice, of all silver bullion brought to
the mints
SIXTEEN TO One.
The ratio sought to be maintained
By law. according to which sixteen
ounces of silver shall equal in value
one ounce Of gold.
COMMERCIAL RATIO.
The ratio of actual value, the rate
at which gold and silver can be ex-
changed 1t is now thirty-One Oull-
ces of silver to one Of gold.
SOUND MONEY
A currency of which every dollar
is exchangeab:e at par with the
standard dollar of the cOuntry-in
this country, gold dollar.
The GOLD STANDARD.
The measure of value adopted by
the leading nations of the world
as basis for their curreucy-the
coin (gold) in which all obligations
are finally redeemable.
A FIFTY-CENT DOLLAR.
One which, owing to the depreci.
alton Of silver, is intrinsically worth
only this amount. and maintains
its face value only by reason Of the
Governments pledge to keep it at a
parity with gold.
The Globe-republican., 1896-08-20
A Silverite's Reason.

From the New York Mail and Express.
A young Democrat who announces
his intention to vote fer Bryan, and
who is the only one in very large
circle of Democratic business men
who is not going to vote for Mckinley,
was asked yesterday why he should
do SO; and he answered, with laugh:
"Ob, well; l haven't anything to lose.
It may hurt the country, but nothing
can hurt me, and I'd like to see values
shaken up"
The Globe-republican., 1896-08-20

The eastern democratic newspapers
speak Of the national democratic conven-
ton at Chicago as mob of bowling
dervishes, led by the anarchist Altgeld,
of Illinois, and the popul:st Tillmam, of
South Carolina, and they declare that
the split in the democratic party not
only means defeat at the next election,
but the total disruption Of the demOc'a-
tic party, and the abandonment IF name
of democracy that will in the future
stand for populism, anarchy, reputation,
and dishOnOr.
The Globe-republican., 1896-08-20

The determination of honest money
Democrets to put up a Presidential
ticket means loss of thousands of votes
to Bryan in every important State in the
Union. This will not be repetition Of
the 1872 De nocratic bolt against Gree
lev, in which the boilers vote for a man
who peremptorily declined the candi-
dacy. 1t is safe to say that the candidate
to be selected at indianapolis will get
more votes in the State of New York
alone than the % 900 received in the en-
tire country by Charles O'Conor, the
man who the 'sstraightouts'' in 1872 sup
ported against his will.-Globe Demo-
crat.
The Globe-republican., 1896-08-20

The gold standard means bimetalism,
that is, the use of all the silver that can
be kept on par with gold. Free silver
means mOnometalism, for it could drive
gold out of circulation. Silver is used
extensively as money in gold standard
countries, but in silver standard countries
gold is not used at all. Those
who advocate gold standard would use
all the silver that can be floated, while
those who advocate free silver would
practically favor only the one metal
silver.

SILVER IN BOLIVIA.
The Condition Kansas Finds in that
Republic.

hepuUIlc.
Hon. ThOmes Moonlight. a prominent
and able Kansas Democrat. who is now
Minister to the republic of Bolivia, re-
Gently wrote the follwing to friend in
Galena, Kan: II am in county having
for its financial basis silver. Now per-
nit me in all frankness and in the spirit
of pure disinterested friendship, and
with an abiding faith and deep love for
the Democratic party. to say that If you
were here or in any other free silver
country, you would at once see the mis-
cry and wretchedness caused by cur
rency below par valne in the commercial
world. Clerks in the stores here who
would receive in our country $50 per
month get Ouly 40 bolivians in silver, or
its equivalent. equal to about SIS Ameri-
can money and find themselves La
borers receive per diem. and find them
selves, from 25c to 75c in silver, equal to
about pc in American money. Me-
chanics receive OH an average one bO-
livian per diem, and find themselves,
equal to about 44c in American money.
This condition is true, more or less, Of
all counties having silver for Il basis. In
all countries were silver is Il basis there
exists a species of semi-slavery among
all the wagewOrkers. and particularly
among labOrers and farm hands,

Plainly Told.

The following from the Philadel-
phia Times is # SO much interest to
workingmen and is SO concisely told
that it is worthy of general circulation
and remembrance:
Let us try to put this silver question
plainly, SO that any man can under
stand it.
When you get you wages on pay
day You probably receive various
notes. Ii you read what is printed
on them you will find that they are
not all alike. One says that the
United States will pay one dollar;
another promises one silver dollar;
another, one dollar in coin; but you
never bother yourself about these
differences. TIE notes are all alike
to you, because you know they are I'LL
Of equal value.
Why? Because they circulate in
terchangeably and behind them all is
the pledge of the government of tho
United States to maintain them all ut
parity with gold. And you know
that as long as the present law re-
mains and is administered as it is
now, every one of these notes is good
for dollars worth of gold, and has
exactly the value of a dollar in gold
all the world over.
Now what does the free coinage of
silver mean? It means that instead
of redeeming these notes in gold, the
United States shall redeem them in
silver. And not with a dollars worth
of silver, mind you, but with coin
containing 412t grains of silver, one
tenth alloy, which is worth anywhere
in the world today about 81 cents in
gold.
That is exactly what is proposed,
to scale down the value Of all our
currency nearly one-half. Do you
think that would benefit you?
The Globe-republican., 1896-08-20

During the civil war, when we had a
deprecated currency, the prices Of the
necessaries Of life advanced 200 per cent,
while wages advanced only l49 per cent.
The w0rkingman was loser. therefore,
to the extent of 81 per cent; and SINH
lar result would cllsue under the free sill
yer policy.-GlObe-D Democrat.

The Highway Act.

Upon a necessarily hasty examination of
yesterdays decision the main point of diff
Terence between the Court of Appeals and
Judge Cox in their respective opinions con-
corning the highway act seems to turn
upon the relation of the imperative
parts of the act to the law as a who-e.
Judge Cox was of the opinion that the in
operative clauses or sections were in
tegral parts of the act, and that, lacking
them. the whole law was void. The Court
of Appeals finds portions of the law in
operative, but sees it's way clear to sep
arate them and leave the remainder of the
law In such shape as to be capable of en-
fcrcement.
1t would seem that under the decision of
the Court of Appeals as well as that of
Judge Cox amendatcry legislation will be
necessary to get the highway act in salts
factory working order. If after thorough
examination of the decision of the Court
OF Appeals there is no appeal from 1t by
either side, the work, both of amending and
enforcing the highway act, should be
promptly and vigorously pushed.

Good Fishing.

Information that came directly from the
presidential angling party at Leesburg yes
terday informed the country that the fish
were biting fast" What more could be de-
sired? Perhaps there might be news that
would afford the Chief Executive more
qualification but 1t may not easily be i'm
agined. 1t would doubtless please him
much to know that the Island Republic
had been overthrown by Minister Willis
and that Mrs. Dominis was once more upon
the throne; he might be delighted to hear
that Ambassador Bayard had completed
negotiations with the combined kingdoms
of Europe TO bring about a third-term cleo
ton and it's logical sequence of an unlm-
tied dictatorship: he would, of course, be
charmed to know that through the efforts
o. the administration Spain had once more
triumphed over liberty-seeking Cuba. Tc
the expert and enthusiastic fisherman such
happenings would, however. be trivial so
long as the fish are biting fast.

What Is n 'Fireproor, Roof,

Architects and builders who are worthy
OF membership in those important profess
sions will find 1t difficult to refrain from
laughter and sarcastic conElsE,t when they
read Of the defense of the wooden roof
made today by the Supervising Architect
or the Treasury IN the presence of the House
Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds
Mr. Aiken insisted that the post-office roof
was fire-proof, although 1t was not being
built Of non-combustible material. He ad-
mitted that If he was going to do the thing
over again he would not do what has been
and Is being done with his own knowledge
and consent, but would use iron and terra
Gotta In place of wooden sheathing with
slate On the outside and plaster on the in
side The term ''ire-proof," according to
Mr.. Aiken, may properly be applied to a
structure where confagration would be
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1896-04-24

confined within small space for lack of
material upon which to feed. This, he as
serted, would be the case with the post
office building, although when he said 50
he knew that there will be within easy
reach of a burning match but beyond the
reach of the fire department thousands
upon thousands Of feet of pine, covered on
the inside with a thin coating of plaster
held in place by wire lathing. The conten-
ton that such construction is f1re-proof is
simply absurd; no fire insurance company
in the world but would disagree with the
altogether remarkable utterance of the gov
ernments chief of architecture. A few
days since The Star reprinted the Atkin-
son regulation as to "slowly-c ombustible"
construction. Everybody in the building
and fire-insurence businesses knows Mr..
Edward Atkinson, the Boston expert. A
slowly-combustible roof is. in his opinion
and that is the opinion of practically every
frst-class architect and builder in the coun-
try-fiat and made of heavy timbers and
planking and covered with gravel or metal;
to which is added this proviso: mo wooden
mansard or French roofs allowed. as they
are regarded lumber yards up out of
reach Of water furnishing so much addi-
tional ma terial for the fire to feed on, as
well as greatly increasing the risk Of fire
from adjoining property The post-office
is, therefore. rot even slowly combustible,
so it cannot possibly be regarded as fire
proof by anyone who has had building ex-
rerience or who knows the meaning of plain
English terms. 1t is extremely amusing to
note one other feature of the defense. Mr..
Aiken was much concerned because a fire.
proof roof would add $50, 600 to the cost of
the building, would delay the construction
six months, and compel the government to
spend $1,000 additional for rented quarters
for officials who ought to be housed in the
poSt-office building. This suddenly developed
anxiety to hasten the construction and to
save some of the government money which
is being invested in rented buildings verges
on the comical.
Action on this matter by the House COM
mittee is to be delayed for at least a week,
and the chairman of the committee has eX-
pressed himself rather inclined to let
the present roof stay on. Whatever the
other members of the committee may con-
clude to do, it IS reasonably certain that the
Senators who took the legislative initiative
will make some effort to have the building
constructed according to law.

Help the Suffering Armenions

The people OF the United States cannot
directly bring about a cessation of Turkish
cruelty in Armenia. The administration Is
uEconcerned in the matter, but if the adj
nintstration We're interested and energetic
little more could probably be accomplished
Fully convinced that national Intervention
cannot now materialize, a considerable
number of the philanthropic have contrib
uted money and other needed supplies to be
distributed among the wretched survivors
by Miss Barton and some of her most
active assistants in the Red Cross Society.
A great deal of good has already been done
but there yet remain many opportunities
to alleviate misery. These. however. must
he neglected unless generous Americans
come to the rescue. Miss Barton's plans
are admirable and they lose nothing of
their force in application, but they must
soon collapse unless cash-good American
cash in sufficient quantity-is forwarded to
Red Cross headquarters.
