coin is made has q fixed value inde-
pendentIy Of It's coin or money worth,
but because It represents a value that
the people recognize In other things.
Money is made to represent value In
other property, but not the value Of
the material of which the money itself
ls made. An eagle is Of the value Of
$40, not because the metal Of which 1t
is made has any particular value, but
because It is to be used to represent $40
value ln something else.
III this were not true, there would be
no sense in sffixing certain values to
coins. The only thing needful would
be to stamp the weight on the metal SO
that people would know what value to
place upon 1t. That was the custom
before money was invented.
The theory that Coin is valued at the
market price Of the bullion of which It
is made is utterly untensble. The
market value of the metal as bullion is
largely determined by its coin value.
The law does not affix value to bull
lion. It only puts metal In partiCu.
lar form and then attaches to 1t a GER
tain value for monetary purposes.
When a $40 coin issues from the mint
It Is commissioned, like an officer Of
the law, to perform functions pre-
scribed In the law. It is made for the
convenience Of the people In effeCting
exchanges of their property. The law
does not intend to determine the value
Of the material of which the coin is
male. 1t only makes a coin and gives
1t q money value to be used In repre-
senting values existing In other things.

SOME INTERESTING FIGURES.

The St. Paul Globe, discussing the
general subject of our foreign COM
merce, and intending to show that too
much has been claimed for the effect
of the Mckinley tariff law, has col
lected the following instructive stats.
tiCal information, showing the extent
of our exports during certain years
and the proportion Of them that were
manufacturers:
The advocate., 1896-10-28
EXPORTS OF MANUFACTURES.

"It will be seen, "ssys the Globe, "thRt
the increase began to be marked In
1894, the last year in which McKinley's
remedial policy was operative, and
reached q figure In 1896 $4,000, 900
higher than were the exports in 1892,
year to which Mr.. Mckinley always
refers as the datum Of high water pros
perity. Were the articles stated In
stead of their value, the showing
would be still more striking, as the
boom prices, the speculative values Of
1892, gave higher proportion Of price
to quantity than In 1898. It will be
noted also that the total exports Of
1885 exceeded any year except 1892,
which included the extraordinary crop
year Of 1891. The bearing Of this
showing on the theory that our manu-
factures must have q shield In the
tariff, because they cannot compete
here at home with foreign msnufac.
turers, iS also evident. It hOpeleSSly
skaters the theory by that best Of
proof, q demonstration, that they
can compete here because they are
competing on the foreigners own
ground.
"Turning to our imports, the show
ing is equally conclusive against Mr..
Nc Kinley's conjecture. The following
are the imports for the years given In
the above table, together with the ex-
cess Of exports or imports for each
year:
The advocate., 1896-10-28
OCEOBHR q,

sanshlp" does not apply to Office
holders who actively support Mckinley
or Palmer. The administration idea
is that q "perniclOus partisan" Is one
who supports Bryan. This is demon
strsted by the fact that District AttOr-
ney Perry is not regarded as such when
he makes gold speeches, but POstmSS
ter Pepperell is all wrong when he &C.
ceptg the position Of Secretary Of the
Democrat State committee.
The advocate., 1896-10-28

"The average of the first three years
Of Mr.. McKinley's policy was 1885,
2S9, ,S59, while the average Of the two
years Of the present tariff Is e755, $780,
964, or some S9O,OOO,OOO less. That iB
to say, these foreign nations are doing
some 800, 600, 600 less work for US than
they were during the period helaments
and whose conditions he wants re.
stored. When, In addition to this, It
is considered that over half Of these
imports are either articles Of food and
live animals, or articles In crude con-
dition for domestic industry, the utter
bsselesSnesS Of Mr.. McKinley's state
ment becomes glarlngly apparent.

ABOUT PROMISES on PATRONAGE.

The Topeka Capital, In Its anxious
desire to disturb the harmonious rels-
tlons existing between the various
silver parties Of Kansas, has mRnufac-
tured a story to the effect that Mr..
Leedy has pledged q lot Of official po-
sitiOns TO the Free Silver Republican
leaders and that these pledges have in
fluenced these men to enthusiastically
support the entire Popullst ticket.
The story has no foundation whatever.
Republican leaders are so accustomed
to deals Of this sort that the Capital
can conceive Of no other motive that
may actuate men in political life.
Mr.. Little, Mr.. Turner, Mr.. McNall
and the other gentlemen who left
the Republican party because Of the
gold platform declaration have too
much independence to make their pO-
lltlcal action dependent on q pledge Of
place. The fact is, that these men left
their party on the silver question only
and intended to vote against those nom.
lnees for positions affecting legislation
only; but the cheap, disgrsceful and
dlsreputable abuse heaped upon them
by Republican sheets and counte-
nsneed by the party management has
placed them in such position that there
is no place left for them In that party.
They cannOt,s self-respecting citizens,
vote for men who abuse them as trait
ors TO the party and destroyerS of gov
ernme0t credit and honor. They will
therefore vote for men who agree with
them on the money question.
In so far as Senator Leedy is con-
Cerned, the ADVOCATE feels safe In
saying that he has not made a single
pledge Of patronage, but instead has
determined that he viii be elected
Governor of Kansas q free man, priVi'
legged to act as his judgment dictates,
and thoroughly untrammt led by ante
election deals. Such a Governor ID

REPUBLrCAN pEPRAYITY.

peTate straits, the action OF the leaders
with reference to the "Mlddle.Of the
road" ticket Is sufficient. The ticket
was Ostensibly named In the interest
Of the POpullst party and Thomas E.
Watson. If it receives any consider
able number Of votes, IL will give the
State to Mckinley and Hobart. How
standing by one nominee Of the party
and knitting the other ls to benefit Pop.
ulism is hard to understand. What
will It profit the party If the middle
of-the road" ticket gets liberal vote
and Mckinley gets the StateH 1t is
very evident that this ticket can ben
eft the Republican party only. When
a POpulist engages in that which will
aid the Republican party and the gold
standard, his pretended friendship for
the reform party Is fraud.
That the Republican party and its
leaders are lending their aid and inau-
ence to this Insignificant band Of party
wreCkers is unquestionsble. The &C.
ton of the State officers, sll Republl-
cans, In putting this ticket on the
ballot when they knew that the petit.
tion by which it was named was fraud.
ulent, is only accounted for by the fact
that these Republican officers were &C.
cessories to the fraud. Their partisan.
ship was thereby plainly shown.
The action of the Secretary Of State
In permitting Mr.. WStson's name to be
withdrawn from the only POpullst set Of
Electors named was but continuation
Of the fraud. This, In view of the fact
that Mr.. Watson and no other Presi-
dential or Vice Presidential nominee
is on the ticket az q candidate, but are
placed at the head of their respective
party tickets merely for the information
of the voter. Mr.. Watson has no au-
thority to say to Kansas Populist EleC.
tors that they may not vote for him as
long as he permits his name used in
other States. The further action Of
the Secretary Of State In filing his al
legged withdrawal after the time for
such withdrawal had elapsed was un-
warranted. The action Of the State
board in permitting the substitution Of
three Electors on ticket named BY
petition was absolutely contrary to
law. A ticket created by petition has
no standing If those on the ticket with
draw unless q new petition Is filed.
No such petition was filed. 1t was too
late for that.
The Secretary Of State. the other
members Of the board and the Repub-
licsn management have used all their
official power and all Of such power
that they can control to so arrange the
ballot as to prevent q fair expression
by Popullsts. Everything tending to
mislead and confuse has been done.
The Republican party, which used to
howl about fair elections, is in Kansas
to day doing everything In its power
to prevent the opposition from having
a chance to fairly express itself. 1t
has stopped to the lowest depths Of pO-
litical depraVity ever reached by any
party In Kansas. 1t Is mistaken In the
opposition and will gain nothing by Its
efforts to prevent fair election. Men
who are POpulists are too well read,

A w. G. 7. U. Petition.

Boston, Jan. el.-The reported decision
of the sultan of Turkey forbidding Miss
Clara Barton and the Red Cross society
from entering his domains, to relieve the
sufferings of the Armenians, has led Miss
Francis E. Willard and her sister officers
of the national w. G. T. U. to send petit
tion to congress, also to request every state
w. G. L. U. to do the same and duplicate
this petition to every state legislature.
These officials express the hope that this
practical effort to cause something to be
done on large scale for the Armenians
will attract wide attention and will doubt
less cause other great societies of women
to send similar petitions.

IN SENATE AND HOUSE.
Opposing PhnSes of the Monroe Doctrine
in the Inner HndN.

WASHINGTON, Jan 2l.-Two opposing
phases of the Monroe doctrine were pre-
sented in the senate yesterday-one from
the committee on foreign relauons favor
Ing strong realirmation Of the doctrine
and another from Mr.. Sewell of New Jer-
sey, urging that the doctrine had been
carried so far beyond its scope as to threaten
dangerous consequences
Mr.. Davis, % nnesota, presented the
committee rcnort, as he is author of the
resolution e. bodying essential features of
all previous resolutions Mr. Sewells
speech attracted attention from the fact
that it is the first utteranco Of opposition
TO the prevailing +ondancy in congress on
the doctrine, and moreover, the New
Jersey senator used direct language in
criticizing the haste of the president in
prccipitating a question which involved
the possibilities of war.
The silver bond bill was laid aside tenn.
porarily, as no senator was ready to speak.
Mr.. Platt and Mr.. Hale pointed out the
delay on this measure, and Mr.. Platt
asked that n day be set for vote. Mr.. Jones,
Of Arkansas in charge of the measure, de
clined to fix time, as several senators
were still to be heard.
Mr.. Peifer's bill concerning congress
sional funerals was further discussed and
then referred to the committee on rules,
with view to formulating general rule
on funerals.
Mr.. Pugh's resolution for silver pay
ments of outstanding government obliga-
tions did not reach vote, although urged
by its author.
The session Of the house was devoid Of
public interest. Quite number of bills
of minor and purely local importance
were passed, and also the military acad-
emy appropriation bill. Among the meas
ures introduced was a resolution by Mr..
Gibson, of Tennessee, for the recognition
of the Cuban insurgents as belligerents.

Singular Accident to aLehigh Valley
Railroad Trains.
THE ENGINEER CRUSHED TO DEATH
The Fireman Escaped With a Lacerated
Scalp Wound, But Will Probably
Die-Miraculous Escape of
Passengers.

HAZLEToN, Pa. Jan. 2t.-The Lehigh
Valley train which left Wilkosbarre at
o:l5 O'Clock last night, and is due here at
f;22, in charge of Engineer Michael Lon
2er and Conductor George Reese, was pre-
cipltated into u coal mine near this place.
Lonzcr was wedged between the baggage
car and the ground, and was crushed to
death The fireman, Frederick Meyers,
escaped with a lacerated scalp but will
probably die. Several passengers were in
jured, but all were able to walk to this
city. Since thewreck the earth has dropped
completely into the mines, which are op-
Grated by Linderman & Skeer, and steam
from the underground cavity is issuing
from the hole Traffic will be blocked for
several days, both main tracks being af-
fected
For several years past the road between
here and Stockton has been the scene of
many caveins, and to guard against acci-
dents three watchmen were placed at diff
ferent points to notify trains of any posi-
BILE danger. About three hundred yards
below No. Stockton the road caved in to
depth of six feet The watchmen had
just passed, and found everything in good
condition. They accordingly signaled the
train, which was going at the rate of TWEEN
ty-fve miles an hour The engine struck
the sag and bounded from the track. The
engineer and fireman were thrown and
the passengers were hurled promiscuously
about the car The engine and baggage
car fell on one side, and but for coal
bank which guarded them much loss of
life would have resulted. Had the cavein
occurred a half hour earlier it would have
caught the miners and silk mill train,
which carries several hundred girls and a
hundred or more miners
