The Dimculty is the Tariff.

Tn a recent speech at La Grange, Ind.
Senator Burrows said:
with all the vagarics of the three
Bryan platforms they all unite in the de-
mand for the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at 16 to /. and to that question
Mr.. Bryan devoted Il goodly portion of
his time in his speech of acceptance. He
declared that times are hard. prices are
low. and something il vitality wrong 1t
is not the crime of 'I3, however. bur the
folly Of 90, when Harrison was defeated
and the prosperity of the United States
destroyed.
"Mr. Whitney says: Don't talk about
the tariff But the whole difficulty to-
day is tariff. When Mckinley is president
the money question will settle itself.
More silver dollars were coined dur
ing Republican administrations than dur
ing all of the other cighty-three years of
our history.
Panic always accompanies free trade.
During the thirty years from 1861 IA
1892 we had unboundcd prosperity:
wealth advanced: this republic took n
lead in manufacturing and stood ahead of
all other nations until March 4. 1893.
The public debt was reduced during Re.
publican administrations. and increased
under Democratic. There is not single
day but the government is running be-
hind. The deficiency during July. f1Sg6
alone was S13,O00.O00.
THE results of the Democratic policv
are so evident that n new issue was nee.
essary to give them even fighting
chance before the people in this am.
paign. and so they say that in 1871 IN,
Republican party caused the trouble Inv
demonetizing silver. If that is so WHY
did 1t not show itself before 1899? W.
were prosperous in '92, and the crime I'm i
been committed before then"

he Democrats in vast numbers who
share this curiosity and these apprehen-
sions stand by what they believe 10 he
the historic policy of their party in re-
gard 10 the currency. This policy was
declared in 1876 and reatiirmed IN lSo2
in these words:
We hold to the use of both gold and
silver as the standard money Of the
country. and to the coinage, of both gold
and silver without discriminating
against either metal or charge for mint,
age. but the dollar unit of coinage OF
both metals npst be of equal intrinsic
and exchangeable value, or be adjusted
through international agreement, or oy
such safeguards of legislation as shall
insure the maintenance oil the parity OF
the two metals, and the equal power OF
every dollar mt all times in the markers
and in the payment of debt: and we de-
mand thar all paper currency SHAH pe
kent at par with and redeemable IN such
coin. We insist upon this policy as
especially necessary for the protectl1n
of the farmers and laboring classes: Inc
first and most defenseless victims az I'M
stable money and fluctuatinH currency
These Democrats still hold to the doc
trine of dollars of both money metiis OF
equal value. that the country may have
the benefit of n concurrent circulaiioh OF
gold and silver. and paper redeemahle IN
the same. Why not give these Drmo-

He has been an ardent advocate of inter

be an assault on the cause OF pimetahisna
and practical suicide for the finances OF
the United States. In 1878 Gen. Walk
err said: "For us to throw ourselves
alone into the breach, simply because
we think silver ought not to have peeh
demonetzed and ought now to be re-
stored. would be piece of Quixotism I'M
worthy the sound practical sense OF our
people. The remedy of the wrong must
be sought in the concerted action Oh Tue
civilized states, under an increasing CON
viction of the impolicy of basing the
worlds trade on single money meta''
This is his opinion today.
AS to the possibility of free coinage
without an immediate fall TO q SILVER
basis, and the strident claim thar TINS
country is big enough to ''legislate Tor IL
self" Gen. Walker points out two facts.
The stock of precious metals mas SO
greatly increased in the world. ana COM
munication and transportation are 80
much more rapid than OF old: that even
France found it impossible in 1913 10
continue free silver coinage. Since there
is vastly less money metal used IN the
United States than in France. the IN.
fiuence which this country can exert
upon the money market of the world rs
less than the influence of France. Ana
yet no one accuses Gen. Walker OF be-
ing less a patriot or less proud OF me

Free silver and Wages.

4 correspondent attempts to explain
how wages would be increased under
free silver coinage by asserting that
Grades unions. through strikes and
other means. would force the price of
labor To higher Standard This is
sheer nonsense.
Experience has conclusiveiy demon
strated that wages. under dcbascd sys-
TEN of currency, never Increased in the
same degree rs the money cost of COM
modities. If there was ever condition
of affairs which was favorable to such
an increase il was during the Rebellion.
We were not only on cheap money
basis. but the ranks of labor had been
enormously dcpleted TO send men to the
front to battle for the republic Yet,
what actually occurred! Judged by the
purcha sing power of his wages the la
borer in 1868 received only &c cents
where he had received gold dollar in
1860 in 1864 he received about 81 cents
and i'm 1865 little over 66 cents.
But how do workingmen fancy the idea
of being compelled TO resort TO Strikes
in order that their wages may have the
same purchasing power that they do
now? 1t will occur to sensible toilers
that il free silver coinage is going to
prccipitate strikes. not really for higher
wages. but simply to keep the wages
that already exist. it will be the part of
wisdom TO let well enough alone.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.

Curiosities OF Our Money.

Few persons are aware that silver GER
tificates are not legal tender, though re-
ceivable for public dues. The fact was
recently. it Is stated, forced on the
attention of the postoihce department by
a person who refused to accept the Ger.
tificatcs in payment of money order.
Thus. it seems, the government is Obliged
TO receive silver certificates, but cannot
pay them out to any one unwilling TO re.
ccive them. Should our silver friends be-
come able to legislate. they will doubtless
make the certificates legal tender, so as

cent valuation.

After Mr.. Bryan shall become presi-
dent and free coinage shall be accom-
plished the people who were so eager to
establish such Il conjuncture of circum-
stances will finally discover that they
are no better off than they were before.
Not man of them will be able to got a
dollar, whether worth 80 cents or other
wise. except in the same way that
money has always been got. 1t must
be obtained in some sort of honest bust
ness or earned as wages. There IL no

Governor W. T. Thornton was a pas
senger for Santa Fe, last evening, return
ing from his trip to Washington City. He
expressed the opinion to an OPTIC reporter
on the depot platform that the congress
sional committee would report in favor of
validating the bonds issued by Santa Fe
county without authority Of law, though
be doubts whether their recommendation
would be enacted into law. The governor
thinks there is no statehood for any OF the
Territories, this year, though it is probable
that all three Of them will be recon-
mended for admission for political effect.
Governor Thornton gives it out cold that
he will have nothing more to do with poll
tics, after the expiration OF his present
term of t%lofice, having concluded within
himself to engage in something at once
more congenial and lucrative.
