A Natural MIstnkc.

We publish elsewhere two communlca-
tions this morning from correspondents
who think that 1t is the legal tender equal
ity of the silver dollar that keeps It on a
parity with the gold dollar. While it is
true that the government does not pay out
gold for silver certificates. or for silver.
stin it is the confidence in the ability of
the government to maintain its declared
policy OF keeping it's silver and paper dol
lars on a parity with tho gold dollar that
prevents the silver dollar from dropping
to its bullion value of 50 cents.
II the gold reserve should all be drawn
from the treasury within the next two
weeks. and the government should take
no steps to replenish it. the silver dollar
would cease to circulate on parity with
the gold dollar Its legal tender quality
wouldn't prevent it from becoming a de-
preoiated currency.
The greenbacks are legal tender and
yet it was not until 1879 that they circulat-
ed on q parity with gold-the year of the
resumption OF specie payments. A very

in the treasury for the purpose of Specie
resumption. and that gold inspired the
people with the belief that the government
was strong enough financially TO pay gold
for greenbacks. Then. and not, tin then,
did the legal tender greenbacks circulate
at par with gold.
If the writers of the communications
VIII inquire OF Senator Jones of Nevada,
or any other silverite Of recognized promi-
nence, whether 1t is not the gold reserve
and not the legal tender quality of the
silver dollar that Keeps 1t or parity with
the gold dollar he viii. we are sure, get
an affirmative answer.
The contention of the silverites is thai
the larger use of silver, which free silver
coinage would cause would raise the price
OF silver until its bullion or commercial
value would be equal to its coinage value
and not that its legal tender quality woulC
keep it on a parity with the gold dollar
What they contend for is a theory, which
does not take into account the greatly in
creased production of silver within tn,
last dozen years. nor the stiu greater in
! crease in the production which woulC
likely follow free and unlimited silver
coinage.

There IS no great danger of financial
panic as long as Mr.. Cleveland Is Presi-
dent. Therefore those who are worrying
themselves about the effect OF the presi-
dental contest on business can rest easy
for the present so far as panic is con-
cerned.
The reduction OF the gold reserve on
Monday was apparently movement in
the interest of bear spectators TO in
fuence the stock market. but the effect
was counteractcd by the prompt offer
Of tho New York banks to furnish the
treasury with gold to keep up the $780,
OOO,0O reserve. Even should there be a
raid on the gold reserve, like that of last
year, the government would issue bonds
and make the reserve good again. The
President is as determined as he was last
year that there shall be no business panic.
At present therefore there is no cause for
any great disturbance in business. The
country is pretty certain to remain on a
sound money basis at least until March

Mr.. Bryan Is to be commended FOR In
sisting upon campaign free from per
sonaliues. lie has taken occasion 10 say
ia his public addresses that he believes
that Mr.. Mckinley and Mr. Hobart are
honorable and honest men. and that those
who support them are sincere and con-
scientious in doing so. lie has announced
his purpose not TO indulge IN abuse OF
his opponents and TO discuss the great
issue now before the country In a spirit
or candor and fairness.
Mr.. Bryan viii be generally commended
for these sentiments. The people are pro-
foundly interested in the question they
are called upon TO settle-too much in
terested to find any satisfaction in ap-
plying opprobr,ous epithets 10 their politi-
cal opponents. or IN asserting that they
are controlled by selfish motives or are
dishonest No doubt there are "A few pa
pers and individuals that prefer to be
noisy and offensive. because It IS their
nature TO be so. but they will not com
msnd the respect and attention OF think
ing people. We regret 10 see that at the
men who made the Chicago platform have
been hurled from the pulpit such epithets
as "rcpudiationists." anarchists" etc
Such violent language will do the cause
OF sound money no good 1t wiz have
the effect OF creating a prejudice against
It. II viii be asked why violent language
is necessary II there are abundant argu-
ments to sustain Il.

A Recent DIscovery.

Ex-United States Senator Warner Miller
has made a discovery that is not an alto
gether pleasant one for him. 1t seems that
he has been collecting political material for
the last four years to be used in tho pres
ent campaign. and he has more than a
trunk fun Of Il. All of this mass Of stuff
he intended TO hurl at the democratic party
from the stump. He has awakened to the
fact that there will be no opportunity to
use it as he intended; in fact, he cannot use
it at all, because the Chicago platform has
completely changed the issues from what
ne expected they would be- Not only have
the issues been changed, but party lines
have been broken, and it Is expected that
many democrats will be found in republic
can audiences during the campaign. Re
publican stump speakers. therefore, cam
not deal with democratic legislation and
the democratic administration as
they have been accustomed to do in
previous campaigns. because by doing so
they would drive away from the republi-
can party the democrats they are depend
ing upon to assist them to elect their
ticket
Mr.. Miller feels the loss Of his trunk
full of material greatly. He realizes that
in order to make a good showing he wifi
have to hustle around pretty lively after
new material-material that will be suita-
BILE for the new line on which the repubM-
cans have determined to conduct the cam
palgn. The republicans viii direct their
efforts against the Chicago platform and
ticket. and will have very little to say
about the President and his administra-
ton. In fact. they will be inclined to ad-
nit that there is much in it worthy to be
commended.
No doubt Mr.. Miller will have the SYM
pathy of his republican friends in his ina
bllty to use the political ammunition
which he has industrlously stored up in
his trunk for this campaign. He may find
some consolation, however. in thinking
that the material may be found to be of
service in some future campaign.

From the Birmingham News Dem)

Democratic rule is the first considera-
ton here in the south, and for that rea-
son, if for no other. southern democrats
and newspapers in particular should lend
all their efforts to secure the election of
a democratic President. A republican
executive means force bills, the placing
of negroes in Office, little OF no recogni-
ton for the south, federal Interference
and countless other evils. This is Of
course a strictly sectional view of the sit
uation, but aside from it comes the ques-
ton OF party loyalty, majority rule. low
tariff, etc. etc. The financial issue does
not and should not overshadow the mat
ter Of democratic supremacy.

A northern exchange expresses surprise
that the south finds It easier to forget
the days of the war than the events which
followed it." The south knows that the
war, and its causes and cruelties are for
ever gone. They cannot come back. But it
is easy enough for the evils of the days of
radical rule in the south to be repeated
All that is necessary to revive those evil
days is republican control of the general
government With a republican president
and republican congress we might have
a force bill, and at the following election
the polling places in the south would bris-
tie with federal bayonets.

or the fees he earned as a lawyer Omaha

Yet Mr.. Bryan received only $50 a week
as its editor. 1t is stated that as a law
yer he never earned more than S, 500 a
year, and that he never tried a case in
volving more than $4,000. Had Mr. Bryan
devoted himself closely to either journal
ism or the law he would have won both
fame and fortune.

Populism in Alabama means nothing
more tnan a combination with republi-
cans for a division of offices. With
"spoils of office" for a platform and the
giving over of state affairs to a lot of in
competents no self-respecting, lawabid-
ing citizen can hesitate to vote for John

There is a fusion of populists and re-
publicans in Alabama to defeat the demo-
cratic state ticket. The democrats are lea
by Capt. johnson, who won his nomina,
ton on the free coinage issue. The re-
pubiicans and popultsts of Louisiana have
formed fusion against the democratic
ticket. A fusion is pending in North Car
DINA against the democrats. and there
has been more or less talk OF a similar
deal In Georgia. If the populist national
convention should indorse or nominate
the democratic national ticket, these state
fusionists would be placed in a queer po-
sition. 1t is pretty well understood, how
ever, that the populists stand only for the
spoils in politics, hence the fight against
state democratic organizations would
probably be kept up at all events.

New Cuban stamps.

The first issue Of Cuban stamps
was made in New York City last
week and were eagerly purchased
by collectors. The stamp is
a trife longer, than the u
s. two-cent stamp. They
were printed by the New York
Bank Note Company, in denomi-
nations of 2, 5, 10 and 25 cents.
All are of the same design, but
differ in color.
The design is a shield with a
rising sun occupying the upper
half, palm tree in the lower
right corner, and bars intended to
represent the blue and white bars
in the Cuban flag in the lower left
corner. The key, with the land
scape depicted in the stamp, make
up, with the other features, the
escutcheon Of the Cuban revolu-
ZIONIST party. Two cent stamps
are brown, 5 cent blue, 10 cent
orange and 25 cent green. The
Cuban cent is equal in value to
our cent.
In case the Spanish power is
overthrow in the island the
stamps will be adopted as the
national stamp. They are now
of no practical service excepting
in certain parts of Cuba where the
revolutionists are in power, and
where they maintain a mail SER
vice of their own.
