THE STARTING POINT.
Free silver Agitation Was Begun by Fiat
Money Men.

Free silver Agitation Was Begun by Fiat
Money Men.
The bottom meaning, the real pur-
pose, of the Chicago platform in its de-
mands as to the currency is fiat money.
The enactment into law Of the pr!n-
ciples there stated would mean an IN
limited volume of irredeemable paper
money, and the chaos and disaster, ul-
timately. which have overtaken the cur
rency of so many South American
states. The currency declarations OF
this platform are the natural out
growth Of the old greenback idea. since
taken up by the populists and incorpo-
rated into the policy. The declaration
for free silver coinage first appeared
in the party platform of the greenbacS
convention which met at Chicago in
1880. and was in these words: The
right to make and issue money is a SOW
ereign power to be maintained by the
people for the common benefit. All
money, whetheT metallic or paper,
should be issued. and its volume con-
trolled, by the government. and not by
or through banking corporations; and
when so issued should be full legal
tender for all debts, public or private.
To enable the government to meet its
obligations. legal-tender currency
should be substituted for the notes Of
the national banks, the national bank
ing system abolished, and the unlim-
tied coinage of silver as well as gold es-
tablished by law"
This demand for the unlimited coin
age of silver. it will be noticed, came
from the convention of party which
was making a fight for unlimited fiat
money. 1t is TO be noticed. too, that
the demand rs then made was coupled
with declaration for the imposition
of an income tax. Thus we have the
democratic convention of lSp6-16 years
after the first announcement of these
ideas-appropriating them as the basis
of its body of doctrine, and going to
the country with the distinct demand
for their recognition in the national
policy.
Could there be any better or more
conclusive evidence that the democratic
party of to-day is simply the old green
back and the newer populistic parties
rolled into one? Nothing Is more GER
tain than that the success Of the party
which has placed Mr.. Bryan in nomi-
nation would be the success of ideas
and policies which experience has
shown TO be in every way preiudicial 20
the public interests. and would bring to
the fore in our politics class of char
latans and denagogucs who are lacking
in every essential qualification for the
high possibilities of public admin

A safe BLUM.

The Denver Republican offers 90 cents
each for million silver dollars, the
offer to be open for 30 days. SO even
at Denver the defeat OF Bryan is con-
coded. The Republican would make a
neat profit on the transaction. So long,
however, as Uncle Samprcsides at Wash
ington and maintains the parity of gold
and American silver dollars, with linn
tied coinage, every American silver dol
lar on the present gold standard will
cost the Denver buffer 100 cents. Uncle
Sam will let him have all he wants-sev-
eral hundred million doilars-and not
charge for transportation. Uncle Sam
he pays the freight on our silver dollars
anywhere within the United States.

know how easy it is to get million

SAN FRANCISCO, March so. March SO
was Easter Sunday ON the Pacific slope,
although probably not more than half a
dozen people knew it. Those who did
know it are ambitions astronomers and
mathematician. They find that the
frst full moon after tho spring equinox
put in AN appearance ON this coust short
ly after 10 O'Clock Saturday night, and
IL is fact that the first Sunday after
the first full moon after the spring
equinox is Easter Sunday the world
over
Bnt in this peculiar case, said to be
the first instance of the kind since the
beginning of the Christian era, only this
part of the Pacific coast had its Easter
Sunday week III advance of the rest of
the world. When the moon filled Sat
urday night, reckoning by Pacific coast
titnei it was already Sunday in New
York and London. Consequently, for
the east and the remainder of the
world excepting the Pacific coast, the
first Sunday after the first full moon
after the spring equinox will not arrive
until next Sunday.

EVIDENCES Pillng Up.

Evidences of the incompetency
of the late Republican Legislature
continue to accumulate. TWAS as
certained last week that the school
book law that tho Republicans
boosted so much of, has left the
children of the State without near
ly all the leading books. The
Legislature adopted new books in
the place of the ones that have
been in use, and failed to provide
any means of procuring new ones,
Moses.W Donnally, the public
printer, has relinquished his con
tract for public printing because
the Legislature failed to make any
appropriation of money to pay
him. The board of public works
find that they cannoth hold Donnal-
ly to the contract and pay him as
the contract provides. The con-
tract will have to be relet, and OF
course it will have to be relet at a
higher price. There is money IN
abundance in the State treasury,
but the people will have to pay an
Increased price on the public print
ing because the Republican Leg
islature wanted to hoodwink the
people and cause them to believe
that thew were reducing public
expenses. Instead of reducing
public expenses they increased
them. They wasted large sums OF
money on needless appropriations
and then failed to appropriate the
necessary money to defray the Or
binary expenses of running the
State government. OF course this
shortage will have to be made up
by the next Legislature together
with the intereet that will accrue,
and the increased prices will have
to be paid Wayne News.

Fat FRYING.

Senators Cullom, Chandler and
many other Republicans are loud
in their denunciations of the meth
dds employed by McKinley's
managers to boom their candidate
for the Presidency. The fat fry
ing process, they say, is now being
worked for all there is i'll it and
heavy levies are being laid upon
Eastern manufacturers for the
money with which to aid the aspi-
ration of their champion. Thefact
that McIZinley---lhlaasss,-ttt the manufact-
,tfrers at his back with the thous-
ands they are willing to expend to
secure his nomination seems likely
to force the other aspirants into a
combination against him. 1t is a
case of Mckinley against the field,
with chances Just now strongly in
favor of the former. His nomina-
ton will be a distinct victory for
the manufacturers, who were al
lowed to write their own rates in
