A Clumsy Forgery

There is a slight reminder of the ia
nous Morey letter of 1880 in a forged
letter from Republican in Boston
named Presley to Mr. Patrack, the
head of free silver club in Pueblo,
California. In the clumsy forgery the
Boston man, whose signature is mis-
spelt, is made to say that in case of
McKinley's election the standing
nrnv would be increased to 250,O0o
men, ,and the labor classes and strik-
ers, with their unions, would succumb
to the rule of force and no longer play
any part in the American politics.
If any one should be foolish enough
to write such a letter it could have no
influence upon sensible minds. But
relying on the power of imposture
Chairman Jones found in this forgery
perfect windfall, and sent it out
from the POpOcratic headquarters in
Chicago under startling headlines an
nouncing the purpose Of the Republi-
can party to hold the people "at the
bayonet's point" with other like ah-
surd eXclamations. The forged docu-
ments is in perfect keeping with the
desperate programme Of the Popo-
Gratis to provoke conflicts between
workingmen and their employers, and
to divide a people having common in
terests into hostile camps. \ delna-

The IdeaIOgians.

The free silver movement is essen
TALLY movement for the reputation
/ of one half of existing Obligations
and derives its greatest strength from
that fact. Such an attempt would
not, however, excite any moral en-
thusiasm, and yet it is undeniable
| that the free silver movement is ac-
cOmpanied by such enthusiasm. 1t is
sad fact, but none the less true, that
there is no financial trickery so fool
ish or SO dishonest, but what it may
be transfigured as movement for
social reform in the perverted imagi-
nation of q class of minds marked
more by quickness of sympathy and
susceptibility to impression than by
distinctnesS of mental vision Men of
such nature abound in every com
munity. Their thoughts are domi-
mated by the idea that, if only some
new and clever s0cial arrangement
could be made, vice, poverty and
crime would disappear. The argu-
ment is often heard from people of
good intelligence and plenty of com
mon sense i'll the ordinary affairs of
life that it is the fault OF society that
misery should exist in the world. The
fact that all our institution, social or
governmental, are really the output
ofcharacter, and can be permanently
changed only by modification of ma
tiona character is beyond their com
prehensiOn. Hence there is no out |
break of popular folly which does not
secure the support Of people who are
really good and sincere because they |
think they deecry in it a movement |
which contains a promise of social re-
form. Even if they do not approve
of the specific measures proposed,
they argue themselves into support
ing them in the hope that the Incl
dental results may be beneficial. In
this campaign Mr.. Henry George is a
good specimen of this class. He is too
intelligent to adopt the absurd
theories of the free eilverites, but he
'alls in line with the movement be-
cause he thinks ne sees in it a great
Uprising of TIE people which will sup
ply force for great reforms when it
gets its true bearings by dint of strug-
gle and experience.
This class of benevolent reformers

character commands a confidence

DIR. LYMAN Abbott on Free Coinage.

The Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott has
published an able and lengthy article
on the silver question, from which we
take the following:
81 am firmly convinced says Mr..
Bryan, that by opening our mints to
free and unlimited coinage at the
present ratio, we can create a demand
for silver which will keep the price of
silver bullion at $1.29 per ounce,
measured by gold''-i. e., at a parity
with gold.
Now, we should as little think of
recommending our readers to base
their vote on our firm conviction as
on that of Bryan, though there is GER
tainly significance in the fact that our
apprehension of danger is shared by
a great majority of the wisest and
most experienced tinanciers, and Mr..
Bryan's sanguine expectations are
shared by few who are recognized as
financial experts. But the doubtful
voter should consider that in this
honest difference of opinion the best
that can be said for free silver coin
age is that it is an experiment, not to
| say an extra hazardous experiment.
and If Mr. Bryan's convictions should
| prove ill founded, and the convictions
OF his equally honest and not less well
Informed opponents should prove well
founded, the experiment is one which
would bring disaster to this country
and irremediable suffering and ire
trievable financial ruin upon unnum-
bered homes. A man NAV hazard his
own fortunes in a doubtful expert
ment. He will hesitate more if the
fortunes of his family are also hazard
ed; still more if it brings those of his
neighbors into peril; most of all if it
creates a national fear of peril and
evokes solemn and earest protest
from thousands Of men who will be
involved in spite of themselves. in the
hazards which he proposes to venture
under the inspirations of o question
able hope.
ut is lily firm conviction serves
temporarily a good purpose as the
foundation OF a popular speech, but
no purpose at all as the foundation
Tor executive action in the President
OF a great nation. The plan proposed
by tins party and The personnel Of the
party harmonic. The plan is to
change by stroke of the pen a finan-
cal structure which has been a QUAR-
Ter of century in process of CON
structlon, because the party believes
1t has worked injustice; and the men
who propose to make the change
neither ask nor desire the counsel or
cooperation Of the masters of finance.
In order to prevent the ruin which n
too sudden change in our currency
might produce, and which an over
Whelmlng majority of the experts
think it will produce. Whether, if
Mr. Mckinley is elected, he will make
vigorous endeavor to secure that in
ternational bimetallism to which the
platform pledges his party, remains
TO be seen; bur, as a long time believer

conviction that it would be safer to

by legislation, the better it will be for
us and for those who are to come
after u.s.
Mr.. Carlisle enforced these PROPOSE
tions with invincible logic. Having
established the doctrine of sound
money, he showed that even if all the
unfounded pretensions of the Silver
ties should be true, the consequences
drawn from them by their advocates
would not follow. In every cOncelv- |
able condition free coinage must re-
suit in a depreciation of the currency |
''in a readjustment of prices and
wages, and in revolutionizing our
trade relations at home and abroad
Before closing Mr.. Carlisle turned
his attention to other points OF the
| Chicago platform and relentlesSly eX-
posed its monstrous demand that the
! Government OF the United States
| shall interfere with the right Of pri-
vate contracts among individual citi-
Zens. The exercise of such q power
had never been dreamed of by the eX-
treme Federalists in the earlier days
of the Republic; but it is now pro
posed to compel our citizens by legis-
lation to exchange the value of their
labor against the products OF Western
or British mine owners on a basis Of
depreciated money, Notwithstanding
their wish to reckon in q better kind
of money. Should an act of Congress
multiplying the right of private con33
tracts be declared unconstitutional
by the Supreme Court, the Chicago
platform threatens to reconstruct that
Court in accordance with its pro
gramme. 1t is not hard, said Mr..
Carlisle, to recognize the consequences
of such a policy Of depotism.
In conclusion, Mr. Carlisle eloquent
ly urged that the first and most i'm
portant demand is that the people OF
the United States shall speak in such
emphatic language on the Sd OF No
vember as to put an end forever tC
all selfish and mischievous silver agi
tation. So long as a great politica

The Republican., 1896-10-29

PERHAPS nothing that has been
said in the entire canvass was more
to the point than the utterance OF
Mr.. Carnegie on Tuesday last, when
he declared that he could understand
how farmer might be beguiled by
the notion of selling his wheat abroad
for gold while paying off his farm
hands in silver dollars; and he added:
But | cannot find a reason, much as
/ have tried, why working man re-
ceiving wages should wish to be paid
in silver dollars rather than in gold
ones. No one pretends that anything
better than gold dollar can be made.
amd no one denies that there is some
risk of the silver dollar never being
worth more than half.
Df course, the Popocrats will not
admit that any good can come from
Mr.. Carnegie; yet if they were less
blinded by passion they might be able
to see that truth is truth irrespective
OF its source, and that Mr.. Carnegie
in the foregoing utterance has spoken
words of undisputable truth in con
servatil,a and most instructive
fashion.

taken to create a popular sentiment
in sympathy with such a dangerous
idea. No nominee of any party has
ever before justified resistance to the
popular will, definitely expressed and
embodied in law and constitution.
If there were no other reason whv
Mr.. Bryan should not be elected, it
would be found in the facts that he
has made it possible by the attitude
he occupies for every law breaker in
the land to challenge the national
authority in the event of his election.

intense evaporation. The obvious |
cure Of defects seems to be the en-
ployment of more force. If paper |
money depreciates it is because of a
want of patriotism among the people,
or it is because of the Vaccinations |
of bankers and money lenders. The
situation calls for an energetic
administration, and the men of energy
come to the front. The Gironde is
succeeded by the Jacobins, and the
Jacobins make way for the Terrorists,
and at last the nation is glad to give
up its liberty for the sake of security.
Then the savior of society makes his
appearance.
Literature owes to Napoleon Bona
parte phrase which characterizes
the class of men who are the wreckers
of free institutions. On December 90,
1912, in an address to his council of
state, he said:
ut is to ideOlOgy, to that obscure
metaphysics which, searching with
| subtlety after first causes, wishes to
| found upon them the legislation of
nations, instead of adapting the laws
of the knowledge of the human heart
and to the lessons of history, that we
are to attribute all the calamities that
our beloved France has experienced.
Those errors necessarily produced the
| government of the men of blood"
The reason why republican institu-
tions have succeeded in this country
is not because we are any smarter or
more clever than the French, but be
cause of the national common sense
which leads us to distrust the ideolog-
I isl7Ts.- Never before this campaign
could one of this class come any where
near a presidential nomination or to
get any place in the leadership of a
great national party organization
AS a rule they have to find a field foI
their activity in the little crank par
ties, which constitute the side shows
of the presidential campaign. We
believe their prominence now is due
to peculiar combination of circum
stances which will never occur again
but nothing is more necessary to the
permanence of our institutions thai
that the present attempt of this clas
to get hold of the government shal
be defeated with a thoroughnes
which will take all such undertaking
forever out of the range of practica
politics.

cupying a seat in the Senate of the
United States as a representative of
the American people.
Consolidating the Gold Forces.

AS election day approaches a COM
munition is noticeable. Many Demo
Gratis who had intended to go no fur
ther in their rebuke of Bryanism than
to support the Palmer and Buckner
ticket have now made up their minds
that they can do much better service
for the cause of honest money and
national morality by voting for Nc
Kinlev and Hobart. Palmer and
Buckner cannot win, and the e[@rebuke
OF Popocratic heresy can be made
much more emphatic by increasing
McKinley's majority.
This is the opinion which Mr.. J. NJ.
Wilkinson, of Valdosta, Ga, has
reached. Mr.. Wilkinson was an cleo
tor on the Palmer and Buckner ticket,
/ but he has resigned. He says he be-
| lieves every sound money man should
vote direc tly with the party advO-
eating sound money, as all the free
silverelements are uniting their forces.
| Mr.. Wilkinson also says he believes
in q reasonable protective tariff and
is not in sympathy with several
planks of the Chicago platform.
A similar position has been taken by
the Memphis ScimjtGr, and this posi-
ton is direct result of Mr.. Bryan's
recent visit to Tennessee. The Scimi.
tar has hauled down the names of
Palmer and Buckner from the head
of it's editorial columns and hoisteC
the flag of Mckinley and Hobart
While paying tribute to the wortl
of the candidates of the National De
mocracy. The ScimitGr has beer
persuaded by Bryan's speeches tha
his defeat is the most pressing neces
: sity of the time, and that not vot
} against him should be lost in Tennes
see.
| Elector Wilkinson and the Memphi
= ScjmitGr have the right idea. Tn
t cushing of Bryanism is the main issu
1 and the way to crush it the flattest i
o to support Mckinley.
