GIVING his WHOLE CASE AWAY
Mr. Crisp Admits That Gold Is tho
Standard of Value


In his Atlanta debate with Secre-
tary Smith ex-Spealker Crisp attempted
10 answer the objection Of the sound
money advocates against the SO cent
dollar by saying: Il tell you, my
friends, thet do not want the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver unless the
bullion in silver dollar is worth as
much as the bullion in q gold dollar.
All this rot about cheap money is aesuE
terfuge of@hose who are interested in
maintaining the dearest kind of money"
Mr.. Crisp he's for years been CLAN
oring for free silver on the ground that
gold has increased in value and is too
scarce and dear to serve as money, and
has urged the necessity Of having
cheaper money for the people" as
against dear money for the bankers.
Yet he now says that he only wants free
coinage under the condition that t'le
bullion ii silver dollar shall be worth
dollar in gold. That is exactly what
Thomas Jefferson favored when he ad-
vised that the ratio between gold antl
silver be fixed as nearly as possible at
the commercial value of the two metals.
It Is what the believers in an honest
dollar have always insisted on. A free
coinage law which should put 100 cents
worth of silver in each dollar would
not injuriously affect our presen sound
financial system.
But what becomes of Mr.. Crisp's
promise that under free silver the peo-
pie would have cheap money? If a gold
dollar is too dear to be used TO measure
values, how would a silver dollar which
is worth just as much be any cheaper.
The commercial value of silver is now
about thirty to one. IF Mr.. Crisp is hon
est in saying that he wants the bullion
In @ silver dollar to be worth as much a.
the bullion in a gold dollar, he would
have to coin the two metals in thirty
to one ratio. How would that shatter
the hated money power?
Mr.. Crisp warned his Atlanta hearers
against the people who are interested
n maintaining the dearest kind Of
money. When he talks of coming sill
yer dollars with bullion value equal
TO gold dollar, does he not admit that
gold is the standard and that he wants
to have our silver money just as val
liable as gold?

Guy Plank ON the Silver Question.

EDITOR TRIBUNE:--With due respect
for THE TRIBUNE and every other gold
standard newspaper that is honest IN
its victions, and as this is free
country where every man has right
to his say whether he says it or not.
we shall attempt in our ungrammatical
way to set forth our honest convic-
tions, begging space ID fHE TRIBUNE
for the same.
Who DO we want for President? Do
we want the great protectionist of Ohio
of whom we know nothing except
that he is a "protectionist," as the
Chief executive of this glorious repub-
lie?
Some will say that Maj. Mckinley is
not gold standard man and others say
he is but no one knows, for Mckinley
don't want to tell and Mark Hanna
wouldn't let him if he did. Every
newspaper reader in the land knows
the South and West has an overwhelm-
ing majority in favor of the free coin
age of silver, not in the Democrat party
but in the Republican as well.
What are we silver Republicans 60
ing to do about it should Gov. Mckin
ley get the nomination for President? :?
Have we any hopes that he is friendly
to our cause? If so, what are they
based upon? Are we going to continue
to support men who are enemies to
what we honestly believe to be right?
Will we even support men who are 81.
lent on these questions? The writer
has been lifelong Republican, but
never again will he vote for man who
is opposed to the measures that he is IN
favor Of and believes to be right. But
he will vote for the man who comes out
boldly and above board and without
fear of "spoiling his chances" advo-
Gates the doctrine that he believes to
be right.
Give me Bland or Tillman or any
other good free coinage Democrat IN

which attracted an audience ofFonly one.
Brilliantly tho little fellow played for two
hours, but not the slightest applause was

Betwixt the living and the dead to choose
] choose the living-aye, nor count it base.
/ loved my dead and loved them to the end.
"6ayest thou the ends" q soul reproachful
asks,
With fine scorn breathing OH it's lips Of light.
o Spirit. thou art worlds on worlds away.
And, IL we hurt or grieve thee. who can know
But here's hands soft pressure on my cheek,
A presence visible, with answering thrill
When mute, entreating fingers plead for love-
Instead Of shadowy influence, far removed.
Yet not for LIES insistent warmth choose
But that LIES needs are sharper If the storm
Beats fierce with wind and sleet across the field
1t cannot harm the dead; but, oh, to hold
Some dear, cold face to ours, to dry he wet
And clinging garments, take the W y farer in.
When snow and ice make bitter cold the night
And soothe with kisses the long hours Of pain
Till love brings rest like sleep! And SO to leave
The feet that rest for bruised feet that slip
And need our kisses thou wilt pardon. God,
And lay thy tender hand upon their brows-
White brows that smile on over heat and cold
That they, still smiling on, forget, as we
Also forget, in tears, poor lfe's sore needs.

AFTER Tennyson.l
come from out the dingy barn,
make n sudden sally,
And swiftly, caring not darn.
Go scooting down an alley.
By jolts and jerks bob along,
shoot around a corner.
And subsequently sound gong
Intended as a warner.
And from my path, as on bump,
With jar and snap and crackle.
Suburban pigs and chickens jump
With frightened sQueal and cackle.
Through crowded streets down town rush
l cross the muddy river;
My way through crossings damned push
Men dodge me with SILVER.
Round slippery curves fit and fiirt
Through many a muddy puddle,
And slush from sloppy tracks squirt
Where waiting people huddle.
Down rough and ragged roads ride
On tracks all torn by gravel:
Ger streets of granite gray glide,
Igrumble DER the gravel
wind about, and in and out,
The streets and highways bossing:
] mangle many a luckless lout
Or toss him from the crossing.
So go swiftly rolling on ..
By times slow moving river.
The horse has come, the horse has gone,
But I'll go on forever.

Mary Anderson de Navarro Pays B1th of
Them Pretty Tributes.
In all her letters and writings Mary An
derson de Navarro's fondnesssfo the
friends of her early days is clearly shown.
In The Ladies' Home Journal she recalls
some Of those who have passed away, no.
tably Booth. Manager Macauley, John L.
Ford and thus records her meeting with
and estimate of General Grant: ut was
during my delightful southern tour (the
frst) that DR.. Griffin presented me to Gen.
eral-then President-Grant, whom he
had known in old soldering days. when
the general had captured and imprisoned
him. 1t was pleasant to see these enemies
IN war SO friendly In times Of peace. Kind
Illness and simplicity were marked traits
Of the president, while certain rugged
ness Of manner and speech that was sug-;
gestive Of his earlier life gave an additions
al interest to all he said and did. In shove
ing US over the White House his pleasure
In pointing out various trophies was I'M
disguised and boyish. While lunching
with him, the natural way in which he
brought himself down to the level of my
youth and small experience of life without
touch Of that visible condescensiOn so
annoying TO tho young was charming"
Meeting him some years after, and failing
to recognize him, Mrs. de Navarro records
that after his speaking to her and an
nouncing himself as General Grant, before
she recalled him, he said jokingly in re-
Spouse to her confused utterance that he
had so changed" Eyes, have grown
thinner and paler; 1 am no longer presi-
dent, you see, and am consequently less
banqueted.'
1T was about this time that my friend
ship with General Sherman also began"
writes Mrs. de Navarro. He was one Of
tho few eminent men I have met whose
interest in every subject Of conversation
was SO great that his particular meter
could not have been guessed. He knew
much about the stage, Shakespeare and
the drama generally and was passionate
lover Of the arts, thinking them all worthy
Of equal regard. AS critic he was good,
though perhaps too enthusiastic over any
excellence, however small, If genuine en-
thusiasm can be called fault. His man
ner was brisk and hearty. His personality
gave the impression OF rugged strength,
SO much so. that his entrance into room
was like breath Of fresh, invigorating
air. Hc scorned fear and discouragement
Of every kind and refused to allow any
one to give way to either"

that the German stage Is regarded by the

Three Women.
[After Kingsley.1

Three women went sailing out into the storm
Out into the storm at the break of day,
Each thought of the man in his bed SO warm
She'd promised to honor and love and obey
But women must work while the men they
sleep,
For there's much to earn and many to keep,
Though the children at home be a-crying.
Three women came home at the close of day
At the close of day, rs the sun went down.
And the children were weeping and wouldn',
obey
The men who were scorching the dinner
brown;
But women must work if men will eat,
And men must learn how to cook the meat
And keep the children from crying.
