TT DOES NOT REFLECT.
Jones Says the Chicago Manifesto Is
Misund erstOOd

CHICAGO, Oct. 14-"There seems to be a
wrong impression regarding the action taken
py the populist executive committee" said
senator Marion Butler today. 'tThe address
issued py the committee does not reflect in
any way upon Mr.. Watson, and 1t will un-
ooubtedly be approved by him. Committee
man nfaa. Reed, of Georgia, came directly here
after spending two days with Mr.. Watson in
discussing the situation, and the policy fndi-
Gated by our address is entirely approved by
nim Or course, the situation as regards
lusion IN several of the states, is not entirely
satisfactory to the committee. Since a union
or forces is necessary to win, there ought
70 De union ticket. That ticket should be
bryan and Watson, but we are not going to
divide our forces.
In Kansas and Colorado, where there are
no Watson electors the situation is especially
unsatisfactory to the committee and Mr..
watson. But since the electors in those
states canno be redivided and give the popu-
lists representation. we are not going to turn
them over to Mckinley. Nothing can be done
IN those states now that would not endanger
the result, and our address was the best
thing that could be done to unite the silver
forces, which is our duty above all things.
Ii we could have our way, of course it would
be. different, but Mr.. Watson would much
ratner put up with the existing conditions
than have those states go for Mckinley"
You think, then, that Mr.. Watsons Kan
sas trip will be abandoned?"
Well, yes, committee will probably call
on Mr. Watson to talk over the situation and
communicate to him the reasons that caused
the committee to arrive at this unanimous
conclusion. I feel sure that when the situa-
tfon is thoroughly explained to Mr.. Watson
that, In the interests of harmony, he will ar
rive at the same conclusions that we have.''
The members of the populist executive COM
mittee held conference with Chairman
Jones, of the democratic national committee
today, to arrange, If possible, for the COM
pletion of fusion arrangements in congress
sional districts where this has not been
brought about. 1t was positively stated that
no further attempt will be made to effect
fusion on the Kansas and Colorado electoral
tickets.

NEW TEACHERS IN FINANCE.

We have read with that plea asure
which new light on any dark sub
ject always gives, the explanation
made by Judge Willis how he came TO
change his opinion about the wisdom
Of the financial policy of President
Cleveland, so far as it relates to the
coinage of silver. In times past we
had been led to think, in listening to.
the arguments of the judge. when he
was arguing for free trade and deny-
ing the proposition that the govern
ment could create wealth, that he had
completed his education in economics
in very thorough school. We as
sumed, without knowing, that he had
received instruction in. political econ
omy from some master of the science
because we have always supposed that.
II person wished accurate instruction
IN that branch of human knowledge,
he would sit at the feet of some one of
its Gamaliels; just as, If he would
penetrate the mysteries of law or ned;-
S'' ~ "oAt ScCh INSTRUCTION from
those who had made of these sciences
an especial study.
We learn now, however. from tba
judge, that one need not GO to that
trouble; that special study Of oues-
tion admitted to be so complex as ia
that of money, is not necessary to quail
ify one to give instruction in it. but
that, on the contrary, one who has
given his life to the study of other
matters, theology for instance, is a far
better instructor than would be such
men as, say, Sumner. Of Yale; Perry.
OF Williams, or David A. Wells. We
are pleased, therefore, to learn that we
in common with so many of our fell
low beings, have been utterly mis-
taken, and that if one wishes to get
light on finance one need but consult
some prelate. 1t is this discovery that
makes the conversion of Judge willis
quite unique and notable, and it Is kind
of him to convey his information tn
needy world The authority of pre-
lates takes on an expansion, and their
office an added dignity and Importance.
The only impairment of the discovery
made by the Judge is the apparent diff
ference of opinion among prelates.
there seeming to be quite q clash be-
The Saint Paul globe., 1896-10-15

in New York city and London. This
would have weakened the force of his
argument materially. But the knowl-
edge of this, doubtless, contributed to
the applause that greeted Mr.. Bryan's
rejoinder about the interest Mr. Wash
burn now shows In the wage earners
Had Mr. Washburn been perfectly
candid he would have been spared the
chagrin of having the speaker retort
upon him so heavily. He would have
stated, preliminarily, that 1t was true
that he himself had a selfish interest
in a lumber tariff and flour reciproc-
ity which was not shared by his work.
ingmen, who merely received competi-
tive wages for their work, but in this
matter of the coinage both he and his
workingmen were in the same boat,
and each would be injured by the
adoption of Mr.. Bryan's policy. Then
Mr.. Washburn would have gone into
his encounter with the speaker with
even his heel immune from the orators
shafts. AS it was, he opened his mouth
and put his foot in it.
