A CAMPAIGN OFF EDUCATION.

The present is to be a campaign of
education on the financial question.
There is need of it. If on this one
question of finance we are the most
intelligent nation Of the earth then the
other nations are in a woful state OF
! ignorance. 1t is to be very serious
campaign and yet it bids fair to
abound in humor The fountain of
hunor now is the meaning of 16 to l.
In the west we know pretty well what
it means; not SO in the east. Inc
Herald gave some instances Of what
the Interpretation is in some sections,
but the very newest meaning to be
given to Is to l is set forth by the
Baltimore Sun. 1t tells of an instance
related to it by correspondent writ
ing from Hartford county. This cor
respondent says that he knows Har-
ford county farmer who interprets the
declaration IN favor Of 1.-The free and
unlimited coinage Of both gold and
silver at the ratio of 16 to l. as mean
ing that everybody can get sixteen
silver dollars for one gold dollar if Mr..
Bryan Is SlSClGQ- -lG gun soy IAAeSS
the construction placed on the figures
"16 to l. by the Hartford county man
is surpassed by that placed on the
words free coinage" by country
customer of a Pittsburg firm, to which
he recently wrote. asking them, in case
of Mr.. Bryan's election, to use their in
fuence to get him a position as dis
tributor of silver" His idea about
free" coinage is that silver is to be
coined in unlimited quantities and dis
tributed to everybody free" This
incident, the Sun says, is not taken
from the humorous column of any of
the funny papers; its genuineness is
affirmed by reliable witnesses.
All this is very amusing and shows
great ignorance, but does it show any
more ignorance than the comments of
some of the gold papers when they call
the silver men "knaves, anarchists,
'repudiators," traitors" and the like?
How can those who read such a press
be otherwise than ignorant of the
meaning of Is TO 1?

knowledge Of foul words and filthy
epithets is something truly astonishing.
No slang dictionary is so replete with
words that are supposed never to be
heard or used, or if heard or used at
all, are only heard and used in the
lowest slums, as have been the editor
ial pages of some of the refined and
scholarly gold standard papers. 1t has
been exactly the sort of press that
Martin Chuzzlewit and Mark Tapley
found when they landed in New York.
Dickens graphic pen never described
anything to equal the New York daily
press of the last fortnight. And yet
when polished and patriotic Americans
who advocate the gold standard as the
only standard of value or morals in the
world read what the great novelist
had to say about our newspapers they
pronounced it a - lie. lie it may
have been fifty years ago, but it would
not be lie today. In fact it would be
a very easy marter TO furnish a key
to such descriptions as Dickens gave.
AS the gold press wants single
gold standard, so it should have a sin
gle standard of denunciation and abuse
of the silver men. To have two stand
ards is to engender quarrels.

THE REPuBLIosx CAMPAIGN.

It is too early as yet to say along lust
what lines the Republican campaign
will be conducted. There is no doubt
that before the Chicago convention
met it was the desire and intention of
the party leaders TO make tariff the
leading issue and relegate the question
OF free silver to a place of secondary
Importance There are many reasons
why this was desirable from the Re
publican point of view, chief among
which were the continued depression
and dull times, which would have been
charged to the WILSON, German law, and
McKinley's financial record, which can
not help him with either gold or silver
men. But that which was so highly
desired cannot be. 1t seems now that
in the manufacturing centers tariff is
to enter more or less largely into the
campaign, but in the agricultural dis
tricts it will be subordinated to the sill
Yer question. 1t is believed that in
New England and the middle states
there will be no great difficulty in over
coming the free coinage movement
This is by no means so certain as the
party leaders seem to think. In the
country west of the Ohio river the sill
yer movement is recognized as being
in tine ascendancy. A Washington cor
respondent of leading Republican pa
per says that lin states west of the
Ohio river the silver craze must be
met by persistent and intelligent labor.
No one who visits the west, or who is
brought in contact with western men,
can doubt the extent and intensity of
the free coinage movement 1t pervades
all classes of the people, and is both
aggressive and progressive. An attempt
to substitute the tariff for the silver
issue in the western states will signally
fail, and may be attended with serious
results to the Republican candidates. :"
A month ago when Mckinley was
nominated the Republican party
thought it had a walkover and that
it could make one thing or another the
issue. 1t is beginning to dawn upon
the leaders that the party has the
fight of its life on hand What seemed
a certainty is now known to be a
great uncertainty; what has been term-
ed a craze" an ephemeral thing, is
found to be a universal and popular
movement of overwhelming dimensions.
This fact makes the formulating of q
plan of campaign a most difficult matter
for the Republican leaders.

THE DEMOCRATS MADE. THE ISSUE

The gold men and press have been
very bitter in their denunciation of
the Chicago convention. While they
may not approve of its platform and
nominee they should remember that it
gave them at least one thing, that
thing a clear-cut, well defined issue.
This question of free coinage has
been in the air for years, but the great
political parties have not dared to
tackle it in a manly, straightforward
way. The declarations in their plat
forms upon it have been just such dec
larations as could be made to mean
anything or nothing as the exigencies
of the case required. The consequence
has been that when a party seemed
driven to the corner on the question
and as though it must take a decisive
stand it has always been found that
the financial plank could be made to
mean something else. The result has
been that the issue has never been
fairly and squarely before the people,
and there has been no opportunity to
decide the question of free coinage.
Before the st. Louis convention met
there was an almost universal demand
by the same papers that are today con-
demning and denouncing the Chicago
convention and its work, that Major
Mckinley define himself on the finan-
cial question. That demand and the
certainty that the Chicago convention
would declare for free silver forced the
st. Louis convention to adopt the
financial plank that it did 1t is true
that it attempted to slime DER its
gold plank with an International bime-
tallic mixture, but the attempt de-
ceived nobody. If the Chicago conven-
ton had followed this example and had
thrown a sop 20 International bimetal-
lism, the financial question would not
have been the paramount issue this
year. The Democratic party gave the
country a clear. definite issue on the
one important question before it. Even
the gold men cannot deny this, try as
they may.

ASSOCIATE JUSTICE
HEALTH.
FIELDS

Since Associate Justice Stephen j.
Field has been in California his health
has given way to remarkable degree,
and it is painfully apparent that his
physical collapse has affected him
mentally. 1t is said that when he was
in Paso Robles but last week he i'm
agined he was in Sacramento. When
he alightad from the train he and his
friends were driven toward the hotel
in a carriage. Just as it started off
he remarked: 81 have been wanting
to drive on the Riverside road for a
long time Not much was thought
of the remark until a little later, when
the hotel came in view. why do you
not take me out on the Riverside
road?" he asked somewhat angrily.
81 have not been in Sacramento for a
long time
These facts we gather from the Sac
ramento Bee If correct, they show
that Justice Fields mind is failing
The Bee thinks that a successor to him
should be appointed. But how is this
to be accomplished? There is no pro-
vision for such cases, we believe. The

THE ART or CALLING NAMES.

The gold press has about exhausted
it's art in calling the Chicago conven-
ton all the names that it could, and
now the various papers have fallen
foul of each other over the question of
the use of synonymous terms to be
applied. On this subject the Minneap-
oils Times says:
The gold standard papers Of New
York are already falling afoul OF each
other over the proper epithet to hurl
at free silver men. The Tribune and
Sun have gone in for anarchist, y
.sblatherskite" and "crazy fool" as the
best, while the Times and Mail and
Express seem TO pin their faith on vii
lain and 'housebreaker. The Even
ing Post. which is an authority on
vilification, has failed to come to the
front on this issue. In a semi-same ar
licle it rebukes its violent contempora-
ries and with remarkable foresight for
the Post, announces that the silver
men must be treated as honest, up
right, but mistaken citizens. This dis
agreement in the ranks has already
had tendency to rattle the honest
money" men of the stock exchange
who were locking forward to a. cam

this is no1 the worst. The World.
which is said to be gold standard
paper, has warned the members of the
stock exchange that if they want to
elect Bryan beyond a peradventure,
they may just go on forming McKin-
ley brokers Clubs. There is sadness in
the air in New York. The enemy is
upon the lambs of the street and the
shepherds disagree as TO the right
method to shoe him off.
It seems that whenever one of these
gold papers is scratched underneath is
found an old fish woman with all her
billingsgate. The extent of their

WILL CLEVELAND SUPPORT THE
TICKET.


Since the Chicago convention Mr..
Cleveland has given no sign of his po-
sition toward the platform or candi-
date. OF course, it is known that he
is extremely hostile to silver and has
done all in his power to destroy it as
a money metal and to prevent his
I party taking up the cause of free
coinage But all this was before his
party took a position on. the question
and made free silver the paramount
/ issue. What will he do now? viii
he bolt the ticket or support it2 His
action will very materially influence
the action of all Democrats who dis
approve of the Chicago platform and
nominee. Only by analogy can MI.
Clevelands position be determined,
and perhaps then not definitely.
In 1892 there was very strong oppo-
sition to the nomination of Mr.. Cleve-
land No paper in all the land opposed
him more vehemently than the Atlanta
Constitution. After his nomination it
wheeled into line, and Clark Howell,
the editor, addressed a letter to MI.
Cleveland assuring him of the hearty
support of himself and his paper. To
this Mr.. Cleveland replied as follows:
Gray Gables, Buzzard's Bay, Mass,
July. 16, 1S92.-CIark Howell, E5q.-My
Dear Sir: The receipt of your recent
letter mas grafified me exceedingly. 1t
has a tone of true Democracy about 1t,
and is pervaded with the sort of Dem
ocraaic frankness which is very pleas
ing.
l think the underlying principle OF
party organization is what you so adj
mirably express as an acceptance OF
the arbitrament of the national con-
vention. On the other hand, it is as
fully the duty of one opposed to shut
his mind and heart to any feeling
OF irritation or resentment that might
be allowed TO grow out of opposition
based upon honest Judgment and a con-
scientious desire for party success.
l am not surprised, though L am
gratified, by the announcement that
from this time to the close Of the
campaign your own service and the
invaluable influence of the Constitution
will be devoted to the fight for Demo-
cratic success. 1t honestly seems 10
me that Democrats who are not at
this time loyal to the cause are recre-
ant to their country.
Personal advancement of man rs
nothing; the triumph of the principles
we advocate is everything.
Hoping that we may congratulate
each other on d glorious result in No
vember, l am, yours sincerely,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
From this it would seem that Mr..
Cleveland could not refuse to support
Mr.. Bryan, though if he should decide
otherwise he might find saving
clause in the declaration that the tri-
umph of the principles we advocate is
everything" That is just where Mr..
Cleveland does dissent from the Dem
ocratic convention this year; that he
has any objection to Mr.. Bryan per
sonally is not at all likely. The ru-
mors that he will support Mckinley,
and that McKinley's managers have
been given to so understand, are not
to be believed for a single instant.
Will Mr.. Cleveland, who has always
been straight-out party man, accept
1.-The arbitrament of the national con-
vention' this year? At present no one
can say; time alone can tell.

case recalls that of the late Mr.. Jus
tice Fitzjames Stephen. For year or
SO before his demise he was totally
unfit to perform his duties as s. judge.
The fact was recognized by the entire
English bench and bar, but the bench
and bar recognized their utter i'm
