THE TEETER-BOARD BOOMERANG

When we were young we used to play upon
the teeter-board, and even in our childhood
days we knew that when one end of the teeter-
board went up the other END went down.
William ]. Bryan.
Just so, and what is troubling William ].
Bryan nowadays is to show how the ''prices''
end of the teeter-board is to go up for the
benefit of the farmer without the "wages" end
of the teeter-board going down at the same
time, to the injury of the workingman.-

In the logic of events the silver craze
and its supporters will be brought into
derision and contempt. There is time
enough to reach that conclusion before
the November election. None is doir e
more to help in this than Bryan and
his supporters. As time goes on, under
the necessity of the case, all appear
ance of logical reasoning is disappear
ing from their speeches, and they are
becoming mere promoters of animoslty
between classes, to the disgust of a
very great number of persons who
might otherwise have been misled by
their specious fallacies.-Edward Atkin-
SON.

Legislature is necessarily partisan. He
must vote on matters OF public policy
which have become party measures. He
NJ ust in the next Legislature, vote for the
election OF a United States Senator who
is to be representative of one or the
other of the great parties OF the Nation. A
non-partisan legislator, therefore, would
be OF necessity that rare creature known
as the white blackblrd." 1t seems that
in the cases of the gentlemen who have
signed this document the Non-Partisans
have indorsed or nominated rarer crea-
lures still. Seeking for the white birds
of reform, they have got them in the
color of the blackbirds OF repudiated
pledges.
The issue raised between these Demo-
Gratis, who after taking pledge to vote
for the new charter if the same were car
ried by the vote of San Francisco. have
now after what they call mature consid-
Grafton" decided to modify the pledge,
and the Non Partisan convention may
we'll be left to them and the members of
that conven ton to settle between them
selves. The point for the people to note
is that these candidates did not give any
sign of modifying that pledge until it was
too late for the Non-P Partisans to withdraw
the nominations and place other candi-
dates in their places. Here is clear case
OF receiving a consideration and then
refusing to carry out the pledge for which
the consideration was given.
The men who have been thus false in
their written pledges are very likely to be
false again in their spoken pledges to the
people. Who can trust men of this kind 2
What is any promise OF theirs worth? In
all the tricks and trades of this campaign, /,
and as between Democrats. Populists and
Non-Partisans it has been a campaign OF
trades and dickers beyond parallel, there
has been nothing worse than this scheme
of giving pledges for a nomination and
then modifying them for the sake of elec-
tion. 1t can be said for Mr.. Braunhart and
the others that they have at least been
open in stating what they intend to do
Others will not be so open and there will
be good many more pledges broken ii
the pledge-takers are elected to Office. The
only safeguard of the people is to elect
men who stand for straight politics, and
who when they give pledges will stand by
them 10 the end.

WHAT MAKES A DOLLAR.

every dollar in existence exclaims Mr.
Bryan, "is the creature of law" Right you
are, Mr. Bryan, but the stuff OF which every
dollar is made is the product of labor. The
mint marx on coin is merely an official GER
tificate that the laborer's product is as fine and
as heavy as it purports to be. 1t can't make
an ounce of silver weigh an ounce and half,
nor can it in any other manner increase the
actual commercial value of the metal on
which it is stamped. Don't overlook the fun
damentals, Mr.. Bryan. Coinage measures val
ues, but it Doesn't create them. The strongest
dollar is the one that contains no fiat" The
weakest dollar is the one that contains the
least value as commercial eommodity.-New
York Mail and Express.

SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.

Among the planks of the Republican
| National platform which must not be
! overlooked during the campaign is that
which declares the policy of the Republi-
can party in regard to the veterans OF the
war for the Union. These men, as the
platform declares, SHOULD receive fair
| treatment and generous recognition.
Wherever practicable they should be given
the preference in the matter OF employ
ment, and they are entitled to the enact
ment of such laws as are best calculated to
secure the fulfillment of the pledges made
to them in the dark days of the country s
peril"
The platform Justly denounces the prac-
tiee of the Pension Bureau SO recklessly
and unjustly carried on by the present ad-
ministration of reducing pensions and
arbitrarily dropping names from the roll
as justly deserving the severest condem-
nation of the American people.
In his letter of acceptance Mr.. Mckin-
ley gave the most cordial support and in
dorsement to this plank of the platform,
declaring that under his administration,
if elected, the soldiers and sailors of the
Union should neither be neglected nor
says, gave the best they had. "They
freely offered health, strength, limb and
life TO save the country in the time OF is
greatest peril, and the Government must
honor them in their need as in their SER
vice with the respect and gratitude due to
brave, noble and self-sacrifcing men who
are justly entitled TO generous aid in their
increasing necessities"
The Republican partly rightly chal-
lenges the Bryanites for their refusal to
declare themselves in favor of just
treatment Of the defenders of the Union
who now, in their old age, not only de-
serve but need the honorable recognition
of their services by the Government.
Ii Mr.. Bryan does not favor the Cleve.
land policy he should at least say so. He
has not hesitated to denounce Mr.. Cleve-
land for issuing bonds in time of peace
and for his dealings with financial syndi-
cafes and there can, therefore, be no
reason why he should not be equally
ready to denounce him for his bad treat
ment of Union veterans.
There may have been abuses and frauds
in the pension service. Where such
exist they should undoubtedly be rene
died and those who have perpetrated
them should be punished; but no
soldier of the war should be made to
suffer for the wrong of another. The
debt which the Nation owes to the
soldiers and sailors of the Union armies
can never be fully repaid. but so far as
payment can be made it should be done
with the most loyal patriotism and to the
fullest extent.
