way. Silver bullion can be bought
anywhere in the civilized world
for 20 cents an ounce or less and
it does not take much more than
three-fourths of an ounce of silver

capitalists and employers shall

the electoral college and by the
House. Inasmuch as a new Congress
is chosen every time new president
is to be elected, the probabilities
are that the party that controls the
House will control the presidency.
This is as stupidity ignorant as
many of its TRADES about pensions.
Every school-boy knows, or at least
should know, that the Congress
elected next fall can haye nothing
to do with the election of the presi-
dent. Should any dispute arise it
would have to be settled by the pres
ent Congress, whose life expires

Mckinley will prefer to remain in

does there will be much disappoint-

Mckinley on the Stump.

Shall Major Mckinley take the
stump in his own campaign for the
Presidency, is a question which
some of his friends are asking. 1t
has not been the rule for Presiden-
tial candidates to take the stump in
recent years, though Mr.. Blaine
did in 1884. General Harrison
made many short speeches in 1888,
but they were all to visiting delaga-
tions, who called upon him at lndl-
annapolis.
McKinley's nomination is more
like that of Blaine than any other,

most popular campaign orator in

The Milk in the Cocoanut.

Ex-Gov. Boles, of Iowa, the lead
ing candidate for the Democratic
nomination, is letting the people
see what is behind this free silver
business. In recent interview he
said:
"The condition OF the farmers IN
the northwestern states is absolutely
uncomfortable. | say this, knowing
the facts. | have myself in this
state two farms paid for largely with
money | have earned as a lawyer.
One is farm of 2, 800 acres of land
and the other containing1 900 acres.
With the present price of labor and
the present price paid for farm pro-
ducts, no man in the world could
take either of these farms, even if |

mean, of course, that he could not
equip the farm and pay interest on
the money invested in the equip
ment and wages for labor out of
the income he would get by selling
the products. A farmer who works
himself, and is assisted by the labor
of sons and daughters, could make
a small farm pay. But no farm is
profitable when conducted on the
basis of a manufacturing business.
Cheap and abundant money is the
only remedy for this intolerable
state of things"
Here is the milk in the cocoanut.
The working farmer, who wants to
run his farm on the basis of a man
ufacturlng business cannot make
farming pay sat the present price

and abundant money" so that "the

so heavily on the farmer who does
not work himself but hires his la
bor."

NATIONAL republican TICKET
OF NEW JERSEY.

THERE is evidently some room for
loyal missionary work even IN the
great soldier State of Kansas.

says:
Private Soldier Grand Army
Post at Blackwell is having a heat
ed controversy with the trustees of
the church at that place 1t seems
that on Memorial Sunday the post
made arrangements to hold their
services in the Baptist, but were
met by the trustees with the infor-
nation that they would not be
allowed to display the national flag
within the church. One of the
trustees was willing to have the
post march IN with the flag, one
was willing to let the colors be
brought into the house but
that they should be furled
and remain furled altogether
while in the building and the
third man objected to the flag
in toto. The old soldiers cut the
controversy short by gong to the
NJ. E. church and holding their
exercises there. That Baptist or
ganization evidently needs a new
board of trustees. There are but
few places, and should be none, in
this country where Old Glory is
not a welcome sight.

Speech OF Acceptance,


The notification ceremony at
Canton Monday possessed all the
elements of interest naturally be-
longing to such an occasion and it
drew from the Republican candidate
for President speech which con-
talns the substance of all that will
or can be said throughout the cam
paign in advocacy Of his election.
Mr.. Mckinley will perhaps discuss
the issues more deliberately in his let
ter of acceptance, but he set them
forth Monday with great clearness
and felicity. TWAS calm, resolute
and perfectly candid speech reflect
ing with accuracy the mental and
moral character Of the Republican
nominee and supplying new assur-
ance Of his qualification as leader
and his fitness for the executive
Office.
The candidates statement of the
things which must be done to res
tore National prosperity and which
the Republican party is confidently
expecting to undertake, could not
be improved. 1t is not vain and
grandiloquent aScriptiOn Of wisdom
and virtue to a political oragniza-
ton whose record at every stage
contradicts the eulogy. Nobody
can refute the assertion-and we be-
leive there were never before so few
IN a mood to make the attempt
that Republican supremacy has
meant honor and prosperity hither-
to. If there were ever before so
many believers in Republican capa-
city to mould the future, all the
signs of the times are at fault. The
proofs which in reality were always
ample have been even more clearly
revealed in a period of unexampled
distress than in the long years of
well-being and contentment.
What the party has done it can
and will do again so soon and so
long as it has the opportunity. 1t
points the country to its adversaries,
broken promises and to its own
accomplished deeds for a double
obiect-lesson in the art of govern
ment.
There has never been an honest
doubt of the Republican candidates
steadfast adherence to the principles
set forth in the platform which he
heartily approved before its adop-
ton. But though he dld not neeo
to give any further assurance on
that point, his expression with the
satisfaction with the direct and en-
phatic terms in which the party
creed is enunciated is sure Of cor
dial response. "They are too PLAIN
and positive to leave any doubt or
question as to their purport and
meaning" and Mr.. McKinley's ca
reer and character supply perfect
guarantee of the wisdom and deyo-
ton with which, as candidate and
President, he will uphold them

The Gold Standard.

The fact can not be too otter re-
peated that the declaration of the
Republican party in favor of the
gold standard simply means the
maintenance of a thing that already
exists. 1t is the free silver people
who propose to make a change and
establish a new standard. They
are against the present currency
system, and anxious to substitute
for it one under which different
kind Of money would be used for
the payment of debts and wages
and the transaction of the country's
business. The Republicans belieye
in keeping things as they are IN
that respect. That is to say they
hold that we now have sound and
satisfactory money and that it
would be foolish and disastrous to
throw away this advantage. 1t is
not proposed to eliminate silver
from the currency and prevent its
use for commercial purposes but
only to so limit the amount of it
that it can circulate freely at par
with gold. Any intelligent voter
can readily comprehend the distinc-
ton and the reason for making it.
We have absorbed as much silver
as we can carry with safety, and
the Republicans are opposed to an
increase of it that would inevitably
unsettle values, depreciate the cur
rency, and force us to an inferior
standard.
1t is not true, as the free silver
orators practically assert, that the
Republican party is seeking to make
gold the only form OF money in the
country. On the contrary, it mere
ly insists that other forms of money
shall be kept as good as gold. There
should be no objection to that from
any man who has the prosperity
and welfare OF the country at heart.
There can be no two standards of
value at the same time, and the Re-
publicans contend that the one
which now exists, and which is
known to be safe, should not be ex-
changed for one that would be I'M
safe and in every way mischieYous.
The silver element now in the cur
rency is freely accepted because it
is on parity with gold, and the
Republicans wish to continue it in
service on that basis; but they are
against the Tree ana unlimited COIN
age of it because that would destroy
the parity and flood the country
with a deprecated circulation. 1t
is not question of dispensing with
5he use of silver, but of adapting
the volume of it to the conditions
which govern its value. The limit
of safety in the coinage of such
money has been reached, and the
Republican party says that we
should have no more of it when the
result would certainly be stupen-
dous misfortune. That is what is
meant, and all that is meant, by
the maintenance of the gold stand
ard.
