NOTHING TO FEAR FROM FREE
COINAGE.

What have we to fear from free coinageS
The gold contrsc,ionists say that 1t would
drive gold to premium and increase the
burden of our roreign debts. Granting
that gold would go to premium, how
would 1t increase the burden of our for
eign indebtednessP
1t Is true our foreign debt is In large
part payable by the terms of the contract
in gold coin, ana we are told that as gold
went to a premium we would have to pay
more for the gold requiied to pay the
interest on our foreign debt as well as
the principal when due. But 1t Is not
with gold, but commodities with which
we must pay our debts The total pro-
duction Of our gold mines would not
suffice to pay one.fourth Of the interest
charges on our foreign debt alone, which
amount at this time to not less than
5000, 900, 900. 1t is with wheat and
cotton and other produce that we pay,
and must pay our debts, and the burden
Of our Indebtedness Is measured by the
debt. paying power Of such commodities
as we export. Selling the commodities
with which we pay our debts in gold
standard countries we are obliged to sell
them at gold prices and evidently, the
higher the gold prices which ne get for
our wheat and cotton, etc., the lighter
lower the prices the heavier the burden.
The question of paying our foreign in
debtedness is not a question of the num-
Der of grains of gold called for in the
contract, but to the number Of bushels Of
wheat snd pounds Of cotton that we must
raise and export to secure the necessary
amount of exchange on London with
which to meet the demands of our credi-
tors
So even should free coinage drive gold
to premium, the burden of our foreign
Indebtedness would be Hghtened just as
the debtpaying power of our cotton and
wheat and other produce sold in the
European markets increased, as the result
Of the rise in silver and Il Q 90 quent rise
In the gold cost of wheat and cotton and
other produce bought in silver-using
countries.
So also the gold oontractionists sneak
of free coinage as repudiation. 1t would
be more correct to speak Of the legislation
that has resulted In the constant appreoia-
tion Of gold during the past twenty odd
years as oonfiscatior. For years our for
einR creditors by doubling the value of
money, have taken our produce into pay
ment Of onr Indebtedness at half price.
After we have opened our mints to the
free coinage of silver they will be welcome
to as many grains of gold as now, but
the purchasing power Of the dollar will
decrease, and they will be no longer In
position to oonflsoate the property of their
debtors. They can have as now, 25.s
grains of gold for every dollar due them,
but for the gold dollar they cannot have
as now, two bushels of wheat where they
are entitled to but one and other produce
In liks proportion.
The free coinage Of silver does not mean
reputation, but gold. ld.monometallism is
synonymous with oonhsoation.

1t will be seen that in the years 1875,
1884, and 1899, when the Democrats car
ried the country, the Republican majorities
in the September elections of those years
were kept down to 1000 and even below
that figure. The lowest point was in
1899, when the Republican majority did
not reach 20,000, and 1t pointed unmis-
takaDly to Republican defeat in the coun-
try the following November In 1880 the
Republicans carried the Green Mountain
State" by majorities of 26,603 and 2s, 995
respectively, and the Republicans also
carried the country in November of those
years by electing Garfield and Harrison.
While Vermont has been an unerring
index as to the political drift in the coun-
try for more than twenty years, 1896 may
be an exception to the rule. This year
the battle will be fought in the West and
not in the East Very little, If any at
tention, will be paid to the Eastern states
by the Democratic campaign managers,
and the New England states, which
have 80 electoral votes, might as we'll be
chalked up to the Mckinley AMI Hobart
column. Four years ago the Presidential
battle was fought in the East and when
Vermont, in September, had scaled the
majority down TO less than 10000, 1t
made every state in New England debat-
able with the exception of Vermont and
Maine. 1t is not only possible, but prob
able, that Vermont, on the first day of
September, will give Republican ma
jority for her state ticket that will exceed
the majority of 1888, and still Bryan may
be elected. So that while Vermont for
over twenty years, has been good criter-
ion to go by to PREJUDICE the Presidential
elections political calculation based upon
1t this year may prove utterly worthless.
A generation ago 1t used to be said: GAS
Pennsylvania goes, so goes the Union"
but this expression has long since become
effectless.
II for some reason or other, it should
turn out that Vermont, in September,
should only give about 5000 Republican
majority, what will it indicate and what
will be the resultS 1t would indicate that
the free silver sentiment which is now said
by the gold monometallic oragns to be
dying out, is gaining converts in the
East, and 1t would be the signal for the
gr eatest Democratic victory Of modern
times. Mckinley would not carry
single state west of Ohio, and his political
career would be olouded by defeat that
would leave no silver lining of promise
for the future.

CHICAGO. April 3.-A special to the
Times-Herald, from New York, Gays:
president Cleveland has written a
letter, stating positively, and without
conditions, that he will not, under any
circumstances, accept a nomination for
a third term. The letter, it is said, was
written at least three weeks ago, and is
in the charge and care of Secretary La
mont. Plain, clear and concise, it in
nowIse intimates any doubt of Demo
cratic success in the future, or dIviation
or detection from Democratic principles,
as expressed by Mr.. Cleveland, in the
past. 1t speaks of the party standing
firmly by sound money, and declares
against the slightest concession to silver
ism, whether at 16 to or less ratio.
1t reiterates all of Mr.. Cleveland's posi-
tions in favor of tariff reform and for the

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Secretary La
mont, when asked today concerning the
published statement that he had letter
from President Cleveland declining to be
again a candidate for the presidency,
and urging the Democratic party to
stand for sound money and abide by its
previous position on the question, said
the statement is absolutely untrue. Sec
retary Lamont added: "I have never
heard of such a letter.
From another, and unquestionably ex-

that no such letter has been written by
the president. The fact that President
Cleveland has fully decided not to be a

Secretary Carlisle would go before the
Chicago convention as an aspirant for

money platform, was announced exclu-

WORST NOT YET TOLD.
Cuban Prisoners Are subJected to Most
horrible Tortures

Z
CLEVELAND, o., April 3-The stories
that have been told concerning the tor
lures inflicted by the Spaniards in Cuba
are more than confirmed by F. H. Tay-
lor, who has just arrived in this city, aft
ter q residence of three years in Havana.
In answer to inquiries regarding the
truth of the circulated reports, he said !:
''The worst has not yet been told. I
have known of prisoners being strung up
by the thumbs at Moro castle, and left
for days at time at the mercy of the
vicious flies which were attracted by
molasses smeared upon the victims face
and chest for that purpose. Many
other forms of torture are practiced upon
the unfortunate captives.
"These outrages against humanity do
occur, as any citizen of Havana can tes-
tify. In fact, if they would allow some
of the prosecuted men in the dungeons
to testify, stories of fiendish torture could
be unearthed which would shock the
Christian world.'
