Waste OF Gold and Silver.

Statistics from the royal mint show
that the average cost of renewing the
silver coinage averages G31, 900. This
represents about six tons of silver,
which are spread over the United
Kingdom yearly. In other words the
daily unavoidable waste from the silver
coinage is nearly esq.
Gold is not so much used as silver,
but its waste in this way sufficiently
lamentable. The mint issues, on an
average, 4,645, 521 sovereigns, and twice
that number of half-sovereigns yearly.
The weight lost by fair wear and tear
in the first is ,0396 grains per annum,
and in the second .O551 grains. Should
any one care to work out this sum, he
will find that this wear, if it could be
collected and coined, would give suf-
ficient gold to make sixteen sovereigns
every day! Is it wonderful, therefore,
that mud, taken from part of London
which has for centuries been the resort

Kenosha, Wis, July 2O.-A great
surprise was sprung in political circles
Of this section by the announcement
that q. G. Simons, by long odds the
wealthiest man in Southern Wisconsin,
has declared himself unqualifiedly in
favor of the election of Bryan and
Sewall and has endorsed the entire
Chicago platform. Simons is presi-
dent of the First National bank, owns
large business block, is president of
the Northwestern Wire Mattress Com
pany and of the Northwestern Tele-
graph Company, whose wires now form
under lease a great portion of the
northwestern system of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, and con-
trolls large holdings in the, railway
stocks. He has always been an en-
deavoring member of the republican
party and an advocate of high protec-
ton. He says that the time for high
tariff has gone by, and that in advo-
cacy of the money question the people
who made the platform in Chicago
acted in true interests of the people.
His two sons have also joined the
party.

"MAssEs AGAINST THE CLASSES
John McGrath Says the Working People of
Ohio are for Silver.


GAINESVILLE, O., July 25. John Nc
Grath, who is the organizer for the
American Federation of Labor for the
southern district of Ohio, talked freely
today of the political outlook. Mr.,
McGrath is one of the prominent
labor men of the state, and travels
extensively and mingles among the
sons of toll. He said: 81 find 10 to
/ laboring men who are thoroughly
dissatisfied with the republican and
democratic parties, and who will vote
for the democratic ticket this fall SIM
ply because they regard the situation
so changed that it is now the masses
against the classes. The republican
campaign managers will be surprised at
the silver sentimentin this state among
the working people. 1t is, as l said,
sixteen whom / find for it to one against
it, and if there is no change in the
situation Bryan will come very close
to carrying Ohio. i .
"There are $4,000 populists in this
state, and unless / am badly mistaken
they will all vote for Bryan. believe
the st. Louis convention will indorse
Bryan without doubt. When the
Mckinley managers claim that he has
an easy victory in this state l am sure
they do not realize the strength of sill
yer with the working people. Ohio
will be good fighting ground.
Muskingum county and the Fifteenth
district was considered a gold strong
hold until recently, and therepublicans
have been expecting a bolt. Today
two local papers interviewed large
number of supposed "sound-money''
democrats, and they declared, without
single exception, that, while they
would not be active in the campaign,
they would not bolt the ticket.

Democracy Can Not Die.

Democracy stood at the cradle of the
republic. It has been potential at ev-
cry progressive step that freedom has
since taken. 1t has gone hand in hand
with liberty along all the paths Of
peace. 1t has been borne aloft on the
flashing bayonets of millions of men in
the fiery track of war. If it is to die
its demise will not precede that of the
republic nor will it outlive the repub-
lie. The two, inseparable in life, will
be united in death. Wrapped in the
same cerements they will be carried by
the same hostile hands to the same
tomb. Such a party can not die. II

Hanna's labor Trail.
\. H. Lewis in New York Journal

A. II. Lewis in New York Journal ..#
The knights of Labor, or anybody
besides, might very logically take
Hanna's trail and run it backward.
What he was, rest assured he will be
what he did, fear not but he will do.
Here are few bluff reminders to
Sovereign and the others as to where
they can cut Hanna's trail. There is
the sailors war with Hanna, which
lasted from 1882 to 1885 and resulted in
Hanna crushing labor unionism on the
great lakes and cutting sailors wages
from 1926 to 81 a day in summer and
from "a to $2.25 in the wreck-strewn
months of November and December.
Lynch, formerly president of the Sea-
mems Union, at Cleveland, can tell all
about it. ,..f
Then there are the mine strikes on
the north peninsula of Michigan, the
coal strikes in Illinois, Ohio and
Pennsylvania, as well as the lumber
showers strike that shook up Chicago
one day. Hanna was the niger in each
of these wood piles. 81. n
He makes money by strikes. Hanna
boasts that he, the Winches, Selah
Chamberlain and the Alva Bradley
estate have made over $4,000, 900 al
ready as the direct saving from low
wages paid sailors the result of the cut
brought about in. The lake strikes in 80,
's3, 'S4 and 49, Quite enough to elect
Mckinley. EH bo
And speaking of that eminent mute,
one is reminded that Hanna even found
Mckinley in strike. Hanna's coal
men had struck down near Canton
Mckinley was their attorney. That
was the first time KcKinley and Hanna
met. When the strike was over Hanna
chad" Mckinley and he's had him ever
since.

was not the injunction, but govern

H. j. Jacquith has resigned as presi-
dent of the Hancock national bank and

PLANTATION of his conversion to free sill
yer theories he said:

sideration. Since then I have given

which will continue until silver is re-
stored, not that l love silver in the
ratio of is to 1, or so to 1, or to 1.
"We have country whose internal
commerce is greater than that of all
Europe we have money stock in
sufficient for the transaction of our
business we have practically all the
gold we can get further use of paper
money is dangerous ;thereforewe must
rely upon silver to furnish us with the
necessary increase in our currency"
''Do you, as former bank presi-
dent, indorse that clause of the demo-
Cratic platform which refers to national
banks ?" 1g ..
II believe in calling in the national
bank circulation. 1t does not amount
to anything any way, and its recall
would not injure the banks in the least.
The national banks would make more
money if congress would strike out
that clause requiring investment in
government bonds. At anything over

tive loss to the banks in their circula-

1T WAS PROPHETIC.
Was the Speech of the Late janice G. Blaine
H. on Silver.

| OH pllNCIs
James G, Blaine, in U. S. Senate, 1880. "a, E.
81 believe the struggle now going on
in this country and in other countries
for a single gold standard would, if
successful, produce widespread disaster
i'll and throughout the commercial
world. The destruction of silver as
money, and establishing gold as the
sole unit of value, must have a ruinous
effect on all forms of property except
those investments which yield fixed
return in money. Those would be
enormously enhanced in value, and
would gain disproportionate and un-
fair advantage over every other species
of property. If, as the most reliable
statistics affirm, there are nearly ~, :
600, 100000 of coin or bullion in the
world, very equally divided between
gold and silver, it is impossible to strike
silver out of existence as money with
out results that will prove distressing
to millions and utterly disastrous to
tens of thousands.
81 believe gold and silver coin to be
the money of the constitution 4; indeed,
the money of the American people an
terror to the constitution, which the
great organic law recognized as quite
independent of its own existence. No
power was conferred on congress to de-
clare either metal should not be money.
Congress has, therefore, in my .judg-
ment, no power to demonetize either.
If, therefore, silver has been dernone
tized, am in favor of remonetizing it.
If its coinage has been prohibited, am
in favor of ordering it to be resuped.
l am in favor of having it enlarged"
