DEMOCRATIC NORTHWEST, NAPOLEON, o. JULY 1e, 1896

once turned on q clever passage IN W.
J. Florence's old play, THE Mighty
Dollar" in which Bardwel Sloat ex-
poses his ignorance by referring to a
hackman whom he had encountered in
Venice. "Yes," said Stetson, THAT is
clever; of course they don't have hacks
in Venice; it's such a slow place they
don't have anything but omnibuses and
mule carts This fable found its way
into print again only a few weeks be-
fore Mr.. Stetson's death.
What do you think of So-and-so"
Stetson asked of friend, naming one
of the actors of his company. He meant
to ask what his friend thought of the
way the actor was playing the part in
which he was then engaged, but the
friend supposed that he meant to ask
what manner of man he thought him.
So he answered, "He's well enough,
only he seems to me to be little too
pedantic. "
This struck Stetson as a good word,
and he stored it up in his memory for
future use A few days later, when he
met the actor, he said, II was in front
watching you last night and thought
you didn't play that part quite as Pc
dantic as you usually do.
Sometimes Mr.. Stetson's expressions
amounted to epigrams. 1t will be re-
membered that when Gilbert and Sulli-
vans 1.-The Gondoliers" was first done
in this country at the New Park theater,
now the Herald Square, it was dread
full failure. 1t was clearly and obvious
ly so to anybody who saw any consid-
erable part of it, even if he were ordi-
narily bad judge of such things, and
Stetson was not q bad judge. He had Sc
cured the rights to the opera for New
England, and he had paid a good deal of
money for them. He went to the New
Park on the first night to see and hear
what his property looked and sounded
like After the first act he strobe out into
the lobby and somebody heard him NUT

M'Kinley's Acceptantance.

New York World, DEM
The republican candidates speech
of acceptance yesterday was charater-
istically shallow and sophlstical.
With his usual solemn face and tone
he told his hearers that if his tariff law
were restored the treasury would
have revenue enough and gold would
come to US and not 90 from US in the
settlement of trade balances.
Yet Mr.. Mckinley must know that
his tariff cut down the revenues
nearly S9O,OOO,OOO, that there was
an actual deficiency during the last
three months of President Hsrrison's 8
term, that there was net loss to the
country Of over Sl2O,OOO,OO in gold
during the last republican admins
tration, and that the present revenue
law is producing more money than
his boasted bill did either in its first
or its last year.

Gold as a BulWark,

NO people in great emergency
ever found a faithful ally in gold.
1t is the most cowardly and treacher-
Gus of all metals. 1t makes no
treaty 1t does not break. 1t has no
friend it does not betray. Armies
and Navies are not maintained by
1t. In times of panic and calamity,
shipwreck and disaster, it becomes
the agent and minister of ruin. No
nation ever fought a great war by
the aid of gold. On the contrary, in
the crisis of the greatest peril 1t be
comes an enemy more potent than
the foe IN the field; but when the
battle is won and peace has been Sc
cured, gold reappears and claims the
fruits of victory. In our own civl
war it is doubtful If the gold OF New
Y 1ork and London did not work great
er injury than the powder and leac
and the iron of the rebels. 1t was
the most invincible enemy OF the
public credit. Gold paid no soldie
or sailor. 1t refused the nationa
obligation. 1t was worth most whel
our fotunes we're the lowest. Ever.

THE American makes strong
point in favor of the double and
against the single stand of values.
It. says:
"Imports into Great Britain exceed
ed exports last year by &l3O, 547, ,693,
and net imports of gold amounted to
{ l4,736, 7I5-a total of fl45,284, 408.
This is the tribute the rest of the
world is under to Great Britain.
This represents the interests on the
sums the British creaditor classes
have loaned to forlgners and interest
on the capital invested in her merch-
ant marine. Over S700,0O0,000 is
the tribute Of the world to England,
and the futher prices fall, the more
cotton, and other produce will she re-
ceive in payment. Yet We are to
wait for the creditor classes of Great
Britain to join hands with US IN le-
storing b.metalIism, raising prices
and cutting down the tribute. Truly,
it is folly to wait for international bime
tallism. Twenty years we have wait
ed IN vain, and so long as we remain
supinely inactive, we will continue TO
wait, BY opening our mints to sill
yer, we can forcs bimetallism; but by
begging we will never achieve it,"
