ming to bring about the destruction Of
our institutions and our civilization
itself. Does any thinking man in the
United States imagine that these men
believe such a thing? If they do,
they should shake from their feet the
dust of country given over to such
abominable wickedness. If they do
not, in what position have they placed
themselves by their public assertions /?
One more conclusion forces itself
upon the reader of these remarkable
proceedings at Lincoln. Again we
call the attention of, the voter to the
obvious and announced fact that the
programme of the free silver people
does not stop with free coinage. That
is only beginning. The most pertinent
sentence in Mr.. Groot's address fol-
lows his statement that the American
people cannot be adequately protected
in their industries by tariff duties.
Again, we quote his exact words:
There is no possible way of protecting them
except by an enormous increase of the guam
tty OF money in circulation If the people
PO"NAAN'o
themselves except by brute force. The more
money they have the more easy it will be
for them to protect themselves against the
aggreSSiOns of others.
Here we have the programme of the
future revealed. What the silver peo-
pie and all the aggregation behind
Mr. Bryan have in view is not merely
the free coinage of silver, but an
s'enornoOIIcp iporaoca II, +ba ryoI,,y,,a of
money. They look not to the Chicago
platform, but to that adopted at st.
Louis, which calls for an addition to
our inconvertible paper money until
1t shall equal the idea of the most
generous fiatist. Observe closely Mr.
Groot's language: '"The more money
the people have, he says, ''the easier
1t is for them to protect themselves -
The argument is progressive and
cumulative. Free silver is not enough
Fiat paper to the amount of $50 per
capita is not enough. Nothing short
OF 1nf1nity is enough. It is more and
more and always more, because "the
more money" the people have the bet
SCA fOiI lAAcIl they are anu DIS
they will always want to be bet
ter off than they are, so must they, in
order to realize that, be always add
ing to the volume of the currency.
This position, also, Mr.. Bryan accepts,
because he takes the nomination on
the platform adopted, and accepts it
'in the spirit in which it is rendered.
What we suppose is, that Mr.. Bryan,
who is not in the habit Of thinking
about what he says, but only talks
to the occasion, does not really be-
lieve the Infamous charge here al
legged against the American people. and
would not specifically pledge himself
to assist an unlimited initiation of the
currency by fiat ISSUE Yet if he would
not, after the Lincoln occurrence, he
is less than honest. If he would. he
is less than worthy of the name of an
American citizen. If he has simply
been letting his tongue run away with
him, and pouring out words, words,
words, without stopping to consider
what they mean, what kind Of a man
is that for president?

Big Demand for Them Reported by
the Treasury Department.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-The treas

large number of requests asking for

in exchange for silver certificates or
other lawful money. Many of these
requests come from persons who seem
to doubt the truth Of the monthly
coinage statement, while others ask for
shipments Of 1896 dollars with a view
or refuting statements that no silver
dollars are now being coined. These
requests have been complied with as
taSt as received, as the treasury offici-
ais desire to call public attention to
the fact that when silver dollars are
ordered In sums of, or multiples of. $500.
they are shipped at the expense of the
government, but when smaller sums
are ordered the shipments are made at
the expense Of the person ordering.
There Is now in the treasury So 506, 1893

may be obtained in exchange for any
lawful money, but the demand Just
now Is so keen for 1895 dollars
that 1t seems probable by the
beginning Of October the depart
ment will be compelled to de-
cline to pay out silver dollars except in
exchange for silver certificates or

quires certain amounts Of silver to be

the rights of the states should be
guarded with jealous care. There is
not the remotest danger that the linn
it's will be overstepped. The plank
of the Chicago convention to which
this refers was understood by every
body to refer, at the instance of Gov.
Altgeld, to the power of the nation to
insist upon non interference with the
carriage of its mails and to prevent
the interruption of interstate COM
merce after the authorities of a state
had refused to do their duty or to
call upon the nation for assistance.
That is a very different matter: and
Mr.. Bryan cannot invoke the consti-
| tutional doctrine of federal and state
powers to cover a demand that the
national government shall have no
right to enforce its own laws.
There are two portions of the speech,
however, in which the most pa
trlotic citizens of the republic
will find much that is positively
and thoroughly obnoxious The one
covers the subject of the tariff; on
which Mr.. Bryan avoids declaring
himself by saying that nobody must
pay any attention to protection or free
trade until after we get free coinage
of silver. He thus openly plays for
both kinds of votes. AS to the civil
! service, he arrays himself, as must be
expected, on the side of the spoilsmen
~
the man than this, and nothing
should make his cause more repug
nant to the friends of good govern
| ment. A fixed term of office, with
succession on partisan lines, so that
all may have show, is his idea. "It
would open the public service to a
large number of citizens without i'm
pairing its efficiency" This is Mr..
Bryan's opinion of the value of a re-
form that has done more for the bet
terment of politics and the improve
ment of the public service than any,
thing else during the last generation
This is his gauge of the way in which
the public business should be con-
Quoted. This is his bid to the Every
hungry and very thirsty" whom he
hopes to allure. No man who is not
convert to the spoils system in its
most odious form can cast a ballot for
Mr.. Bryan. If, after he has accepted
the Peoples party nomination, in a
third speech, all of his deliverances on
these occasions could be bound to-
gether and laid before the people, we
should have, without another word of
argument, the most complete and con-
vincing series of reasons ever offered
by any man why he should not be
elected president of the United States.

ANOTHER ACCEPTANCE spEEcH.

Mr.. Bryan accepted yesterday the
second instalment of his triple-plated
nomination, being that rendered by
the Chicago convention. In his reply
to the committee there is little worthy
or note, because he lays aside the is
sues an which he has already deliv-
cred himself not wisely but too well.
and simply gives out running com
mentary on the various planks in the
platform. AS his remarks are not
framed with reference to the real
meaning of those planks, but are
based upon general principles of gov
eminent, long ago accepted by both
parties, they are neither appropriate
nor valuable.
For instance, he devotes long para
graph of his address to the relations
between federal governments and
those Of the states; a subject exhaust
ed and not today a possible issue In
any sense. All understand that in this
union of states the federal govern
nent has certain powers. defined and

TOM CARTER is LEVEL-HEADED.

We are not aware that Tom Carter
mas put forward any other claim to the
title of statesman than may be implied
In his acceptance Of a seat in the SEN
ate Of the United States. One looks
vainly over his record, since he quit
peddling books for politics, to find any
evidence Of the possession Of those
qualities that entitle men to be thus
classed. 1t is true he conducted a.
presidential campaign and showed
some or the habits of the statesman in
his disregard for money, having left
his committee some $4,000 behind and
obliging it to sell the succeeding con-
vention to the highest bidding city to
get the wherewithal to square I'D it's
accounts. But the similarity here is
doubtful, for, if statesmen are indiffer-
ent about their own money, they are
quite sure to be scrupulous about that
of others. So Carter, of Montana, must
be set down somewhere outside the
class Of statesmen
himself on economic questions he is not
to be taken as an oracle whose utter
ances are to be accepted as infallible.
People, even in Montana, may feel
themselves at liberty to accept or re-
ject, and they will suffer no material
loss if they should reject nor gain any
thing by accepting. But there are
some things that Tom does know. He
knows on which side his bread is but
tered for one thing. Consequently he
knows when his bread is not buttered.
He knows, too, that fine words and
nebulous promises butter neither par
ships nor bread. In practical matters
Toms head is what may be called a
level one. He has given some Illus
trations Of this. For instance. when
the latest session of the latest congress
was proposing to spread butter on the
bread of some fellows, Tom stood right
up and said that If butter was not
spread on the bread of his fellows TOO
no butter should be rubbed over the
VI eau VI any VI tHeIn. ana that SeS-
sion spread no butter at all.
We find another instance of Toms
observation-disclosures in his letter to the
state convention of his party. A man
does not have to be a statesman to
see that free coinage and protection go
together like Siamese twins. In fact
one is the other under another name
Any man with half horse-sense can see
that. Protection includes tariffs. boun-
ties, subsidies and free coinage. It's
purpose is to raise the price of things
and it is immaterial whether it is done
by taxing imports, paying bounties OF
letting man turn So cents worth of
silver into 100 cents. AS Mr.. Ii might
observe it is ''allee sanee Mclean
man." So Tom is dead right when he
says that he, las Republican" be-
lieves sin the free coinage of silver and
protection to American labor and
American industry" AS Repub-
lican he Is right in saying that
he does mot believe in free
coinage coupled with free trade
OF course not. They are what chem
lists cali incompatibles. They will not
mix. You cannot have free trade with
monetary standard that doubles the
par Of exchange.
Again the Montanian is correct in
saying that "the free trade policy will
render the establishment of bimetaI-
ism Gin his sense of the word an utter
impossibility." Free trade means the
