Or. ARENDr FAvoRs BRYAN.

DR.. Otto Arendt, the great German
plmetalllst, has written an article for
the New York Journal in which he
favors the election of Mr. Bryan He
says that the people of the United
States have never been called upon
to decide a question so important as
that of the coming presidential election
Persons and parties, he says, do not
count in this campaign at all; the great
fundamental principles of modern ma
tional life are at stake. Speaking Of the
two candidates, DR.. Arendt says:
With respect to the possible cantli-
Gates, bimetallists, taking Mckinley
10 be thorough silver man, certainly
regarded him with much favor. What
sad disappointment, however, came
with the ST. Louis convention. IT was
obvious THAI the spirit of that conven-
ton was inspired by Wall street, while
Mckinley himself deserted the peoples
cause and closed an alliance, offensive
and defensive, with all-grasping cap
i-al.
Heaven high above him, unfettered
and unmercenary, rose Bryan, who at
once gained the respect and sympathles
of bimetallists the world over. If [
were an American citizen I would I'm
pion. A free coinage president appears
to me a lesser evil than a stock eX-
change president who would walk in
Cleveland's footsteps.
Plain language that, but none too
plain for the case. He says Bryan's
victory would prepare the way for an
than. Right straight along we have
maintained that this is the surest and
most expeditions way to bring it about.
Speaking of the prospects in Europe,
DR.. Arendt says:
The poNsessors of American values,
fearing depreciation, would influence
the bourse to such an extent as to cause
capital to reconsider its attitude to-
ward bimetallism, whereupon the Eu-
ropean governments may be obliged to
adopt bimetallism in order to restore
confidence and equality. All Europe
has formally declared that bimetallism
shall not be introduced without Great
Britains cooperation. The English
cabinet, at Balfour's instigation, desired
March II that nothing should interfere
with the gold standard. Balfour rep
resentS the remarkable and questionable
view that no change of coinage should
be imposed on financial men. In other
words the world of finance rules, the
thief is jailer. Balfour waits and hopes
patiently for the bimetallic conversion
of London. That famous debate OF
March II has clearly shown what is
thought of the question in the city. The
Shylock standpoint was never present
ed with more brutal effrontery than by
Harcourt. The American silver advo-
Gates will find Harcourt's speech the
best campaign document. A producer
who reads this speech and does not vote
for Bryan cuts his own throat.
The election of Major Mckinley would
mean the maintenance of the present
gold standard; the election of Mr.. Bry-
an would mean free coinage for this
most likely to be followed by
an almost immediate international
agreement in favor of bimetallism.

WHAT WILL OUR DOLLAR BE
WORTH:

Under the above heading the Chicago
Times-Herald discusses the question of
what the silver dollar would be worth
under free coinage. It says that SO
long as we remain on the existing gold
standard the government of the United
States is able, with its credit, TO COM
plemerlt the real value of the silver
dollar so as to maintain it at par with
gold, or one hundred cents to the dol
lar; but that if we abandon the gold
standard silver will necessarily take
care of itself, that it viii take care of
itself on the fluctuating basis of its ra-
ito TO gold.
It then goes on TO say that the advo-
Gates of free silver maintain that the
ratio VIII grow more favorable. 1t de-
clares that there is nothing in the his
tory of silver TO warrant this presump-
ton, but assuming that it have foun-
dalton, there still can be no denial that
the value Of dollar viii fiuctuate With
the ratio. That is true. But, says the
Times Herald, in order to get 'The most
favorable view possible of what cur
silver dollars would be worth should we
go TO the silver basis. it is well to look
at the real value of the silver dollar for
a quarter of a century" 1t then gives
the following table:
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-08-26

The table itself is quite inaccurate
taking the director Of the mint's tables
as the standard authority The errors
are these: In 1876 the price Of the sill
yer dollar was 1874; in 1881, $50; in 1887
756; in 1889. 1913; in 1890, SO9; in 1892
.673; in 1898, .6O3. In 1889 the ratio was
%
The Times-Herald says that it may
be that in twenty-five years after we
go on the silver basis the silver in a
silver dollar will be worth one hun
dred cents. and then proceeds in this
wise:
This is a very extravagant conceit,
but granting it for the sake of argu-
ment, what a fine time the business OF
the country viii have meanwhile find
ing out every day from London what
its silver dollars are worth.
But suppose, also for the sake of ar
gument, that the ratio will not grow
more favorable. that it shall persist
in its tendency to grow less favorable.
In what condition we shall be, having
agreed to accept for free coinage not
only all our own silver but also that
of all the rest of the world!
There are a number Of very grave
defects in the argument. The Times
Herald bases its arguments upon the
ratio Of silver to gold and the value
of the silver il silver dollar since
the decentralization of silver in 1873,
absolutely ignoring the ratio between
the two metals prior to that time and
the value OF the silver in silver dol
lar Il disingenuously says at is well
to look at the real value of the silver
dollar for quarter Of a century" as
though it had taken the first quarter
of a century it CHANGED to light upon,
when in fact it was particular to take
that quarter Of a century Immediately
following the demonstration of silver.
beginning with the year 1874. All it's
figures relate TO the period since silver
was demonetized. Let US look at the
figures which give the ratio between
silver and gold and the value of the
silver IN the silver dollar for the quar-
ter of a century preceding the demone-
tization of silver. Here they are:

ARRAM 5. HEwITTs PLAN.

Ex-Mayor Abram s. Hewitt, of New
York, takes a very despairing view of
the political situation, In a letter con-
corning the Indianapolis convention
movement, he says that the Democratic
convention at Chicago made a distinct
declaration Of war upon the constitu-
ton of the United States. and that the
issue, therefore, il; not financial or eco
nonic but the perpetuity OF republican
institutions Thinking thus, he would
have the constitution made the sole
topic of consideration by the Indianap-
oils convention. What would the con-
venticn, if it followed Mr.. Hewitt's
suggestion, do about the constitution?
When it had got through discussing it,
what kind Of a declaration of principles
would it put forth? The people are not
demanding it's amendment, nor do they
recognize that it is being assa9led. If
the convention declared in favor of
maintaining the constitution inv!olate,
it would find thar every political party
in the United States is in favor Of the
same thing And when the convention
nad promulgated us plat1ofIn the peo-
pie would still demand what position
it took upon the financial question, for
they are convinced. though it may be
wrongly, that the financial question is
the issue.
This suggestion of Mr.. Hewitt is a
most astonishing thing. He is a man
Of large affairs aud has had long
and varied experience in practical poll
tics. ard yet he would treat la wholly
academic manner a most practical and
urgent question. The strangest part
of al is that he does not recognize what
the question is. The fears he expresses
and the remedies he suggests are the
fears and remedies of fast creeping
age.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-08-26

The variation of the ratio during that
period was between 1919 and 10 80,
while the variation Of the value of the
silver in a silver dollar during the
same time was between $1,000 and
S1O52.
The Herald says that as the
ratio fiuctuates. So the value CT the sill
yer in silver dollar fuctuates. That
is not disputed But our con-
temporary igaores the fact that
before silver was denonetized in 1873,
as shown by the figures we have given
there was very slight fuctuation of
the ratio and a correspondingly slight
fluctuation of the value of the silver in
a silver dollar
The advocates of free coinage have
every warrant for saying that free
coinage of silver maintained silver and
gold at a parity at the ratio of IS to
l. and that that parity was destroyed
by the demonstration of silver. Give
back to silver its free coinage rights
and the parity between the two metals
will result

y new way of raising campaign
funds has been started by a Sioux City
Mckinley club. 1t is strongly anti sill
YER The executive committee held a
meeting at which arrangements were
made to obtain quantity of Mexican
silver dollars, which will cost the club
90 cents each. 1t was thought that
each member of the club could be in
duced to take one of these coins at a
cost to the member of 81, thereby
giving the club profit of As cents for
campaign purposes and to furnish him
self with az object lesson for the cam
paign- The plai4 is far better for rails
ing campaign funds than for furnish
ing an argument, or "object lesson"
against free coinage. The fatal defect
in the argument is that the dollars are
Mexican and not American.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1896-08-26
THE ADMINISTRATION IN PoLrr1cs.

A special to The Herald from Wash
ington says that the Star of that city
says that Mr. Cleveland will declare
himself about the time the Indianapo-
lis convention meets, and that from
thenceforward the influence of the ad-
ministration, and all of it's available
machinery, will be directed to the sup
port of the Indianapolis convention
ticket. We are rather inclined to think
that this is the case That Mr.. Cleve-
land does not in any respect indorse
the Chicago platform and nominees,
there is no doubt, while it is wholly
unlikely that those who have been SO
active in promoting the Indiana polls
convention would have been so jealous
and hopeful in their work had the
president not given them covert if not
overt encoura cement If these gentle
men desire 20 have a convention in
every city in the union, and Mr.. Cleve-
land chooses to encourage them in
their desire, that is their right, as it is
the right of all American citizens to
have conventions and proclaim their
principles. But it is not the right of
Mr.. Cleveland to prostitute the powers
Of the government to the furtherance
of the interests of the indianapolis
ticket, provided one is placed in the
field. He has posed as the champion
of civil service reform during two ad-
ministrations. 1t will be remembered
that in his first administration two
United States attorneys, the one a Re-
publican, the other Democrat. en-
gagged very actively in politics. Mr.
Cleveland became very indignant and
reprimanded one in terms of the most
virtuous indignation, while the other
was told that it was wrong, but was
allowed to persist in his wrong doing;
nor did he lose his office for such per
sistence.
During Mr.. Cleveland's present ad-

residing in senatorial districts which
contain two or more counties, to the
fact that they should forthwith ascer-
tain whether senatorial committees
were named in the last campaign. and
where they were not named, the coun-
y chairmen should unite in calling
senatorial conventions. This is a very
important matter and should receive
immediate attention.
Judge Powers says that all senator
ial conventions should he held prior
to the state convention, and that dele
gates to the same should be chosen at
the county conventions which elect
delegates to the state convention. The
suggestion is a good one. Where coun-

ministration the country has seen
many thousands of government places
brought under the civil service reform
rules, and the country has patted the
president upon the back for the same.
1T has also seen members of the presi-
dents cabinet going about the country
actively participating in politics and
doing all in their power to sway and
control the politics of various states.
If all this was in contravention Of Mr..
Cleveland's dearly beloved doctrine of
membered in extenuation thereof that
the cause" for which cabinet officers
and comptrollers Of the treasury have
battled was that of honest money
and national honor" If, as is gener-
ally believed, federal officials have not
dared to express approval Of free sill
yer, but have kept mum" on that
question Of questions. it was for the
good of the cause" and if the i'm
preston was permitted to go out from
Washington that advocacy of free sill
yer and federal office-holding were in
compatible, it was all for the good of
the cause" And now the National
Democrats" who profess to be so hor-
rified at the declarations Of the Chicago
platform on the question of civil ser
vice, are to be aided by the admins
tration and all the machinery of the
government Tim Campbell thought

Thou art our queen again,
And may in the sun be seen again,
Come, Ceres. come,
For the wars gone home,
And the fields are quiet and green again
The air, dear goddess, signs for thee,
The lig4t-heart brooks arise fer thee,
And the peoples red
On their WiSltul bed
Turn up their dark blue eyes for thee
Laugh out in the loose green jerkin
That's fit for a goddess to work in,
With shoulders brown,
And the wheaton crown
About the temples perl<ing.
And with thee came Stout Heart in,
And Toll that sleeps his cart in,
Brown Exercise,
The rudy and wise,
His bathed forelocks parting.
And Dancing, too, that's lither
Than willow or birch, drop hither,
To thread the place
With finishing grace,
And carry cur smooth eyes with her.

quested to call county conventions for the
purpose of electing delegates to the state
convention and to judicial and senatorial
conventions and to nominate candidates
for the legislature and county offices at
least ten days before the time fixed for the

Attention is called to the fact that under
