Seesayv Money.

The Mexican dollar Wabbles with sill
yer. The United States dollar stands
solid by gold. Measured in gold and
maintained at parity with gold, its
value remains. Within three years the
Mexican dollar has been as high as 20
cents. and it has been as low as 4S
cents. Its value rises and falls with
the demand for silver, and this varies
with the trade i'll silk and the trade in
tea, with the exchange on India and
the payment of war indemnities by
China ard Japan, and all the world of
trade and speculation. Within the
year it has been as high as 60 cents,
and has dropped to its present price.
This is the kind Of Seesaw money
the United States is asked to adopt.
Up and down. Now high and now
low. Never good us gold dollar, and
never maintaining any certain ratio
WI. it. Labor receives in this cOun-
IT, i v: ges in a year $1,000, 100000.
If t..eG1 wages had been paid in sill
yer this year the loss in the price of
silver in the past six months would
have cut the value of these wages
down by S100,O00,O0O, a tax on labor
one-fifth as large as that of the cost OF
The federal government for a year.

WHAT HARRISON SAYS.
Impossible to Maintain the Ratio

Impossible to Maintain the Ratio
Of 18 to I.
Ex-President Harrison put the i'm
possibility of restoring the old ratio
of Is to / between silver and gold by
the bare fiat of the United States alone,
without support from the other COM
mercial nations, very forcibly in his
speech the other night. He said that
the government could fix it's money
unit and declare any coinage ratio it
chooses to do, "but it cannot say and
enforce its decree, if you should call
out the regular army and navy, and
muster all our great modern ships, and
add the militia, and put William j.
BRYAN in command of them-it cannot
enforce the decree that 16 ounces of
silver are the equivalent Of / ounce Of
gold"
The ratio Of 16 to 1 represented the
difference of the commercial value Of
gold and silver at a period when sill
yer bullion was worth not less than
$1.29 per ounce, and when coinage de-
mand existed in every civilized nation.
Silver bullion was then worth in the
market just what it would bring at all
the European mints-naturally so. But
to-day this universal mint demand no
longer exists. Silver, to that extent,
is no longer in use The result is that
silver bullion is freely offered at SO
cents per ounce, and the supply vastly
exceeds the demand.
In the face of this condition it is
proposed by the P-yan metallists to
open our minis to free coinage of sill
ver-and to attempt to impart, by the
mere stamp of the mint, the value of
81 to silver bullion which in all the
worlds markets is to-day commerce.
ally worth only 90 cents.
We are asked to do alone what all
the other nations of the earth that are
in the same class have ceased to do.
If our forefathers, and if other nations
ever since coinage began, could not
disregard the differences in the COM
mercial values of silver and gold, how
can we2 If Is to 1 was just ratio
when silver was $1.29 an ounce, and
when all countries kept their mints
freely open to silver, hoW can it be
now, when silver is only 65 cents an
ounce anG all minis are closed to it?-

What Free silver Would Do.

"Free silver would not mean that
silver dollars were to be freely had
without cost or labor. 1t would mean
the free use of the minis of'the United
States for the few who are owners of
silver bullion, but would make silver
coin no freer to the many who are en-
gagged in other enterprises. 1t means
the debasement of our currency to the
amount Of the difference between the
commercial and coin value of the sill
yer dollar, which is ever changing,
and the effect would be to reduce prop
erty values, entail untold financial loss,
destroy confidence, impair the obliga-
ions of existing contracts, further i'm
poverish the laborers and producers of
he country, create panic of. unparal
losed severity, and infiict upon trade
md commerce deadly blow. No one
suffers so much from cheap money "a
me farmers and laborers., They are
lie first to feel it's bad effects and the
ast to recover from them This has
ueen the uniform experience Of all
untries." -McKinlev'@ Letter of. 40.

WHEAT continues to advance, muIh
to the CONSERVATION Of the Bryan
Towne school of political econimists,
who have been ignoring, or rather mis-
representing, the causes whish are deter
mination of prices, said farmer who
was at his wits end to account for the
rise IN wheat; "the republican are boom
ing wheat for effect-supply and demand
has nothing to do whit" If that be
the only explanation, and it is the only
one that can be advanced by the party
which claims that money is appreciat-
ing and values consequently declining,
let us see how much the republicans have
already distributed in this one channel
Of the campaign. Says the Chicago
Times Herald:
Most OF the chief farm products share
in the advanced prizes. Most OF these
commodities are being exported in enor-
nous quantities, and in exchange Ameri-
ca will get, European GOLD. No one can
say truly how much has been added to
the wealth of Americans by the rise, but
few figures will give the reader an ink
ling of the mighty force at work for
American veal Corn has risen 5 cents
a bushel, wheat II cents and oats f
cents. Competent grain men estimate
that those advances have added to the
value of the holdings in this country on
the three cereals alone tine folio wing enor-
nous sums;
Corn........................ OOO. 900
............................... oO'OOO'Ooo
OatS............ ............... 20,OOO,O OO
To these must be added an aggregated
apprecis ton of many millions on other
commodities. PORK, for instance, has
advanced from its low point by 81 85
barrel, and ribs have advanced nearly q
cent a pound. Lard has gone up more
than,$4 a tierce. Rye has been advanced
nearly 10 cents a bushel, flax seed Is
cents and barley 8 cents. Glover seed
has scored an increase of 1925 per hun
dred weight.
The yearly sale OF butter and eggs ex.
coed IN cash value all the other products
of the farm, Butter has advanced rs
per cent. and eggs As per cent. The price,
OF cheese have risen rs to 80 per cent.
White beans are As to SO per cent higher.
Most of these products are in active de-
mand in Europe. They are pouring
across the sea IN such streams that there
is not shipping enough TO move them
Dromptly, Even Australia and India
are sending tor the good things OF the
American farm. The seas are covered
with regular liners and with tramp
steamers focking to American shores
or the rich freightage.
LATER-'"ne marke: has fallen during
the week on account of the inability to
get sufficient money with which to
handle it.

1t Is said that there are Republicans
who propose to vote for John Liud,
some on the ground Of his nationality
and others as the result Of the bitter
ness engendered in some quarters by
the contest for the gubernatOrial NOM
inatiOn. 1t is difficult to believe that
there can be any foundation for such
stories, or that any Republican would
lend his aid in i.,tiicting such blow
on the credit and good name Of this
state as would be implied in the cleo
ton Of the Populist candidate, John
Lind. SO far as this states IS con-
cerned his election would go far to
neutralize all the benefits that would
result from the election of Mckinley.
For what this state needs more than
anything else is capital, and such a
restoration of confidence in the Sc
curity of investments as will permit
the unrestricted flow of capital into
business enterprises, and the renewal
upon easy terms of loans, which will
be foreclosed or renewed only ON
harder terms if the local conditions
shall be such as to inspire distrust.
The election Of John Lind would
work great injury to the business in
terests of the state. For it would at
once be class ed with Kansas as a Pop
ulist state, and capital, with its pro-
verbal timidity, would shun its bor-
ders as it has stunned Kansas for
years. No explanation that could be
made would palliate the diScredit INTO
which the state would fall if it elected
this free silver Populist candidate for
governor. Even majority for Mckln-
ley would not wipe out the odium or
this announcement to all the world
that Minnesota was so infected with
the poison of silver reputation and
with the revolutionary vagaries Of Pop
ulism that it had elected a free silver
Populist as the chief executive Of the
state.
From this disgrace and discredit the
Republicans of this state and the
sound money Democrats can be de-
pended upon to save the state. John
Lind has less claims to the support
even of disaffected Republicans than
any other man who has been named
on the Demo Pop ticket. For he Is 9
renegade Republican, who has been
honored by his party and who turned
his back on 1t so soon as he@ceased to
be the recipient Of we2lsalar1ed offices
at its hands. - .jE :
There IL no excuse for John Lind In
any genuine ground OF DISSATISFACTION
with the Republican candidate. Gov.
Clough has given the state, during his
term Of office, a highly eredita BILE ad-
ministration in which his enemies have
vainly. attempted to find any ground
for criticism. No honester or more in
corruptible man ever sat In the CUB
ernatorial chair Of this state. 1t is
true he is not scholar. He L. no glib
tongued lawyer, practiced In the tricks
of speech. He is plain, upright, self
taught business man, who worked his
way up by honest toll from poverty to
Independence, and now by turn of
fortune is poor man again. He Is q
representative man of the people. He
deserves and should receive the sup
port of every Republican In the state,
and of every Democrat who honors
sturdy integrity and knows the value
of good business sense il the chief ex-
ecutive of the state.

Milne owners, Profits.

With absolutely astonishing frank.
ness the secretary of the bimetallic
league Of the silver states to-day ap-
peals to all the silver mine owners to
contribute one months profits to a
campaign fund for the free silver
ticket. He reminds them that vic
tory for that ticket will mean to them
1crear profit of 81 cents on every
ounce of silver they mine. That is to
say, IL by contributing one months
profits to a campaign fund they can

He Homes rney are Fools,

A phase OF free silver Bryan doesn't
talk about is suggested by the LOUIS
Vile Courier-Journal: Bryan daily
SCOTS at the idea that this nation is not
big enough and powerful enough to es-
tablish and maintain a silver currency
equal to gold without asking the aid
or consent of any other nation on
earth" But he always ignores the fact
that under free coinage this nation
would not employ any ofits bigness or
poaver to bolster up silver. 1t would
not guarantee the value OF the silver
dollar, as it does now. 1t would merely
stamp the silver dollar, and its stamp
would mean the same thing whether the
nation were powerful or weak. BRYAN
is simply hoping that a majority of the
voters of this country are tools"

Gov. Clough's Executive Promptness

We have a fair example of the value
to the state of a governor like David
M. Clough in the promptitude and en-
ergy with which he has always met
emergencies demanding quick and Wig
orous action. The speedy capture Of
the Sherburn bank robbers and MUIR
derers was largely due to his prompt
action in offering $500 reward for their
arrest and in sending out in hundreds
of directions the description of the rob-
bers. This liberal reward was the
main incentive of the action of the
Iowa officers who captured the MUIR
derers. 1t is one instance of many
which show that he is as keenly alive
to the proper demands Of the citizens
of the country districts and Of remote
and exposed parts of the state as of
those in the larger places. His prompt
action in this and other cases has done
much to prevent similar crimes in the
villages and country districts.
