Bayard and Free Speech.

The congress of the United States
might have had months ago all that 1t
inquired for from the state department
concerning certain utterances OF Am
bassador Bayard.
The house, however, has the whole
subject-matter as presented from the
department Of state. Now that II may
peruse Mr.. Dayard's address to the
Philosophical Society OF Edinburgh at
its leisure, what is 1t going to do? 1t
won't chop OF Mr.. Bayard's head. 1t
can't silence Mr.. Bayard's tongue. It
can continue its buster and threaten to
impeach him for high crimes and mis-
demeanors, but 1t is not, however, ad-
mitted in the United States that free
dom of speech is a crime, even a misde-
meanor.
What Mr.. Bayard said he may repeat
with propriety anywhere in the world.
for what he said was a simple truth.
The house at Washington is COM
posed Of such men as Chicago is we'll
acquainted with-Lorimers, Wood
mans, Whites and the like. These dis
port themselves as far as the speaker
will permit. Their opinion of the pa
triotism and intelligence OF Thomas F.
Bayard would not be worth stating to
any society, philosophical or other, at
Edinburgh or any other place.
If Mr.. Reed, who is the house Of rep
resentatives. pushes the matter, then
the republican party will be fully re-
sponsible for as dastardly an attempt
at menace Of free man as legislators
have ever proposed.-Ex.

everything they can to increase the ter

MIiler's Treasury Drain.

Warner Miller, who is in Chicago,
states as a settled fact that the Mica
ragua canal will be constructed.
There would be no objection in the
world to Mr.. Warner Miller's taking the
funds necessary from subscriptions
made for the purpose. and. under the
auspices OF the company Of which he Is
president, constructing the Nicaragua
canal and relying for reimbursements
upon the tolls that would be received
from the commerce of the world for its
use. In so far his project is commend
able.
But Mr.. Warner Miller has tried that
plan and is forced to give 1t up as be-
yond his capacity. He turns then, as
the Pacifics turned thirty years ago. to
the government of the United States,
and says with the utmost plausibility,
I'VE have this concession. Give us
your credit and You can have our rights
In the premises. Back us with unnum-
bered millions. and you shall have re-
endorsement"
Therein Mr.. Warner Miller Is wrong.
The government of the United States
has no right to enter upon the canal
business. 1t is particularly warned
against venturipg I'm Mr. Warner Mil
ler's enterprise by the outcome Of its
venture with the Pacific roads. Were
congress so foolish at this time as to
make the desired grant Mr.. Miller
might become, as his fellow senator,
Stanford OF California, became, many
times a millionaire, but the people Of
the United States would suffer.
The whole project hinges upon a Ger
tain control by Miller and his associ-
ates. Their concession must be had.
They must be reimbursed according 20

ject. The United States would be fool
hardy to 60 into any such ruinous ex-
pertinent; yet the Reed congress will

AnalgamRted Silver Forces Pushing on

The friends of silver restoration will
be pleased to learn that the three prin-
eipal silver organizations Of the United
States have been practically consoli-
dated for work. The details have been
substantially agreed upon by represen-
tatives Of The American Bimetallic
League. The National Bimetallic Union,
and The National Silver Committee.
Nothing remains but for the different
organizations to ratify, and this will no
doubt be done with promptness. BY the
terms Of the consolidation General A. J.
Warner, Of Ohio, will be president, Hon.
R. c. Chambers, Of Utah, first vice-pres-
ident and Judge Henry G. Miller, of
Illinois. second vice-president. The
work will &C on as heretofore, except
that 1t will be more vigorously pressed.
The principal Office and general head
quarters will be at 134 Monroe Street

"a Banker" writing to the New Yorh
Sun concerning the presidents project
for bringing financial peace to the coun-
try by retiring the greenbacks, pre-
sents the following inquiries, which
might be profitably considered by some
Of the bankers who are giving then
approval to the scheme:
when the greenbacks have been re
tired, what then? What kind Of lawful
money will be available for the rs per
cent reserve fund Of the banks? Gold!
in what kind Of legal tender money
shall the national bank notes be re-
deemable? Gold
Where will The gold come from &c
settle the International 'balan e OF
trade? From the banksi
Then what will become Of the gold
reserve Of the banks? And what then
will become Of the banks when their
gold reserve is exhausted? And how
will the suspension Of specie payments
by the banks affect the public mind?
There is now about $500. 0o0, 900
gold in the country available for the
% per cent lawful reserve. and mora
than 100000, 900 is needed. Where
shall the banks get all this gold from?
These are pertinent questions which
our Don Quixote and his faithful Squire
have not grappled with"
To relieve the treasury from the
obligation to pay out gold would be. in
evitably, to transfer to the banks the
whole OF the demand for gold. IL the
first place. such a transfer could not
possibly inspire the public mind with
greater confidence in the certainty Of
gold payments, because, in the second
place, 1t would not add another ounce
TO the available stock OF gold. In the
absence OF enough gold to meet the ur-
gent demand for the metal, the prob
ABLE result would be to force the banks.
within a brief period, to suspend specie
payments. This would be the culmi-
hating catastrophe Of an attempt to
maintain gold monometalism which, IL
Mr.. Cleveland should have his way,
would have added nearly 500. 000, 900
to the Indebtedness Of the American
people. The effort to sustain this false
system has filed the world with loss
and misery, and the craziest schemes
are now devised to avoid the only con-
clusion that is possible II safety Is to
be attained, which Is to supplement
standard gold with full standard silver.

FOR JOSEPH CANNON.
BIMETALLIST DEFINES CHEAP"

Seems That He Never Could See That
Cheap Money Means Dear" Prices

Hon. II. +. Bartine In National b.
metallist: The above named gentleman
10 good fellow personally but he 10
republican politician at all times and
above all things. II the idea that the
republican party can do any wrong
or make any mistakes ever found us
way into his head, IL became fast pris-
oner upon reaching there. Mr.. Can
non has Just been interviewed by an
Inter-ocean reporter, and takes occa-
sion to sneer at cheap money" men Oh
all parties. This is to be regretted be-
cause Mr.. Cannon has bestowed some
thought upon the money question, and
has certainly many times expressed
desire to have silver restored. True,
he opposes every measure looking 10
that end, but still he claims that ne
wants It done. Why? How will the
restoration Of silver have any effect
upon business? In Just one way. BY
lessening the demand for gold. IL that
will not make gold cheaper" then
there is nothing in the law Of supply
and demand. But Mr.. Cannon does not
like cheap" money. He despises It.
Then we ask again why does he want
silver restored?
Whether silver be restored by inter
national agreement or by the action OF
the United States alone, the effect must
be to make gold cheaper. That means
a rise Of prices. We are scarcely pre-
pared to believe Mr.. Cannon Is ignorant
enough to think that prices can be
raised without making money cheaper,
although there are people who assert
that claim. Mr.. Cannon is strongly op-
posed to the retirement Of the green
backs. Ne why? What harm will II
%? Certainly the presence Of all this
mass OF paper In our currency tends 10
make money cheap" that Is. cheaper
than 1t would be without II. He seems
to be afraid that II the greenbacks be
retired, 1t may make money just a lit
tie too dear" to be good. Then the
questions arise what In his judgment Is
Cheap" money, what is dear" money,
and what ia money that is neither
cheap" nor dear" but Just "sound?"
He surely must know that the true test
Of either "cheapness" or "dearnees" In
money is its purchasing power. II so,
perhaps he will kindly vouchsafe to in
form US what quantity of products OF
any kind he chooses TO name, It will
take to buy a cheap" dollar, what
quantity dear dollar"and what guam
tity sound" dollar.
People who have so much to say
about "cheap" money ought certainly
to be able to give some definite idea
of what they mean by the term cheap"
as applied to money. II by sound"
money Mr.. Cannon means gold, he
ought in all consistency to favor the
retirement Of the greenbacks, because
that would bring us just so much nearer
to the true value of gold. II II was a
good thing to destroy silver as stand
ard money and make things cheaper,
why will It not be good thing to de-
stroy the greenbacks AID cheaper
things still more? "Ah, Joseph, Jo-
seph! Have a care or you will never
