The Vermont Republican state conven-
ton wobbled all around the Mckinley
issue, first adopting a resolution declar-
lnsy Mckinley the first choice of the Re
publicans of the state, then laying the
resolution on the table, and finally elect
ing set of delegates without
instructions. This would seem to leave
the delegates free to vote according to
their own inclinations, a fact that will
render it unwise for any candidate to put
the Vermont delegates in his column
without further advices. The one definite
feature of the Vermont convention was
it's indefinite position on the subject of
presidential candidates. = Philadelphia

The opposition of the A P A. in Wis
consin to the Pere Marquette statue,
which that state has given to the Ma
tional Statuary hall in Washington, is
about as indefensibe an act of bigotry
as any that has been committed in this
country under the plea of Americanism.
Pere Marquette deserves well of Ameri-
calls-that is, if Americans care to honor
the virtues of a brave, self-sacrificing
Christian pioneer 1t is not in keeping
with the generous spirit of America to
his statue because he was Jesuit father,
ami for no other assignable reason,
would be an act worthy of the sixteenth
century. 1t is humiiating evidence of
exert in the enlightened state of Wis
consin that her Representatives in con-
gress are at this moment afraid to recog-
nize the virtues of a brave and good man
because if he were alive he would not
agree with the A. P. Anew York
Journal.

with him since the Chicago Convention, and he
is bringing all the weight of his influence for a
square fight against the free-silver craze. that
Democrats may get the credit for beating the
demagogues that controlled in Chicago.
Mr. Fairchild is decidedly opposed to the third
ticket idea, and thinks full vote for the clear
honest money plank of the Republican platform
is the only course open. Mr.. Fairchild thinks
that the sound money cause is pre-eminently the
wage-earner's cause. To Tribune reporter he
said yesterday:
This agitation Of free silver for the last few
years has done more to unsette values and to
cause widespread disaster than any other ques-
ton. Foreign funds have been taken from our
investments. and what Is still worse, the refusal
of foreign capital to enter into new enterprises
has cost this country many millions of dollars
Labor has suffered most of all, and now lot OF
fanatics in the Democratic party want to COM
plete the wreck by trying to fool the laboring
classes and farmers into the belief that the free
coinage Of silver would give them more dollars
consequently more prosperity; overlooking the
fact that gold would enter into every calculation
except In payment for labor and still regulate
the standard Of values, as 1t now does in coun-
tries where they have silver basis. This hue
and cry about gold being the money Of the rich
Is all buncombe talk for the purpose of catching
votes. When It comes TO matter of fact, it Is TO
the interest Of all employers. whether manufact-
urers, storekeepers. railroad corporations, mine
owners or any others with whom labor is an I'M
portant factor to advocate free silver; and why?
The immediate effect upon wages would be TO re-
duce the same in purchasing power nearly one
half or 81 cents on a dollar. The price Of labor
would not by any means keep In pace with the
deterioration Of our currency.

regulate this. excepting so far as labor enters
into the cost of wheat by paying % cents on a
dollar Gold Is money, not commodity. and
therefore should be forced into use as circulat-
