"The proportion between the values of
gold and silver is a mercantile problem
altogether. Just principles will lead us to
disregard legal proportion altogether; to

and to take an average from them

This does not include foreign mission
schools sustained by American capi-
tai. The losses to the educational en-
dowments of the other denominations
would be on similar scale, as would
also be the losses to non-sectarian en-
dowed institutions of all kinds.
The case of Cornell university affords
good illustration. As our Chicago
contemporary asserts, the endowment
of this institution is in round numbers
$1O0Oo,O00. OF this s63OO,O0O is in in
producing bonds. The largest
block Of Investments Is in municipal
bonds and real estate mortgages and
railroad bonds follow in the order CIV
en-. 1t IL estimated that only per
cent. of the Investments require gold
payments, the rest being payable in
currency. The remaining revenue de-
rived from tuition fees, etc, Is payable
in currency. On the other hand, 30 per
cent. of the expenditures would be tenn.
porarlly unaffected by the depreciation
of the currency, namely. those cover
ing the salary list. OF this so per cent.
the professors and others employed
would be the ones injured, and through
them the community in which they live.
But so per cent. remains chargeable to
purchases and here the university
would suffer severely from depreciat-
ed currency, especially as much of it's
apparatus, chemicals, etc. must be
bought in Europe and paid for in gold.
Ultimately, since all but some $1,000 of
the 100000 yearly revenue of the uni
versity is payable in currency, Cornell
would be mulcted s25OOOO a year by the

Says the Industrial News: "The
working people all over the country are
more and more realizing the fact that
the conditions which exist today are
due directly to the destruction Of our
protective system by a bill which a
Democratic president denounced as the
creature of perfidy and dishonor. Fol-
lowing that iniqultous measure came
depression in business, declining values
and financial decentralization. AS a
remedy for all this long train of evils.
the free traders and their co-workers
propose nothing but a debasement of
the currency and a reputation Of ma
tional obligations. They dare not face
the real issue. They dread the truth.
They shrink from a discussion which
they know is sure to prove that the
cause Of all our distress lies in their
own wicked assault upon our prOtec-
tive system" More couldn't have been
said If the News had filled column.

nr. Bryan's Chance.

1t is worthy of note that although
Mr.. Bryan since his nomination at Chi
cago has made nearly $50 speeches he
has not yet answered one of the five
propositions laid down by Secretary
Carlisle at the very beginning Of the
present campaign. Mr.. Carlisles five
points were as follows:
First-There is not free silver coinage
country In the world today that Is not on
silver basis. Its silver coin passes only
at its bullion value. All paper money
passes at the same value. Any gold coin
they may have passes for about twice the
value of the same face amount of silver
coin.
Second-There Is not gold standard
country In the world today but uses a
large amount of silver with the gold,
which silver is held up to gold value
and passes for as much as the same face
amount in gold.
Third-There is not a silver standard
country In the world today that uses any
gold in circulation along with its silver.
What gold they have Is bought and sold
as a commodity at twice its face value in
silver.
Fourth-There is not a silver standard
CouIllIy III tnc tOudy tHit HAS iuoiC
than one-third as much money in circu-
laion per capita as we have in the United
States.
Fifth-There is not silver standard
country i'm the world today In which the
laboring man receives as much wages as
he does in the United States.
Mr.. Bryan has told us on several oc-
casions that If elected president he
would not have any man like Carlisle
in the treasury department. He has
also credited the Kentucky financier
with having betrayed the people into
the hands of the Shylocks of London"
very much as Benedict Arnold tried
to betray our revolutionary fathers to
the British" But he has never ven-
tured a syllable of reply to the fore
going cardinal assertions.
May be he will do 50 when he speaks
in Scranton.

A Menace to Education.

An important point Is opportunely
brought out by the Times-Herald when
1t directs attention to the fact that the
election Of Bryan would In all prob
ability deal a death blow to the educa
tional aspirations of hundreds of thous-
ands of young men and women by clos.
ing many small colleges and seriously
crippling the big universities. 1t
would produce this unwelcome effect
for the reason that it would necessar-
lily involve the reduction by one-half
Of the incomes Of those educational
institutions which rely upon their en-
dowment funds for maintenance. The
same is true Of every charitable insti.
tuition similarly sustained.

would suffer depreciation. are:

COTTON FOR JAPAN.

One of the strongest arguments in
favor of the Nj 'aragua canal Is the
benefit would be to the cotton pro-
duccrs of the South by opening the
markets of Japan to much larger
extent than at present. Although
the cotton now goes overland TO the
Pacific coast and thence by steamer,
it is calculated that this year over
$4,000 bales will be exported. In
commenting on tho trade the San
Francisco Examiner says:
Heavy shipments of raw cotton
from Texas points and New Orleans
are en- route TO San Francisco over
the Southern Pacific. The ultimate
destination of this material is Yoko-
hama. For several weeks this ship
ment has been so voluminous that
the railroad company has been com

from the Pacific Mail and the Dc
cidenial and Oriental steamship
companies. These shipments ind =
cate that Japan is increasing the
number of her spindles and is great
ly augmenting her output Of manu-
featured cotton goods. In other
words, the japanese are evidently
bent upon first supplying their home
market with cotton fabrics, instead
of buying them abroad. and will
later on become a manufacturing
competitor in the markets of the
world. 1t can be authoiitafively
stated that the Southern Pacific peo-
pie have during the past few weeks
hauled from Texas and New Orleans
about 1900 bales of this seasons
cotton, en- route for Yokohama.
About 1000 additional bales are al
ready on the way"
Were tie canal opened the cotton
shippers could secure the advantage
of a low rate by water, and the
/ American staple would doubtless
have the monopoly in the japanese
market, with the exception of few
grades of Egyptian cotton used in
making special goods.-Manufactur-
