The Difficulty is the Tariff.

In a recent speech at La Grange, Ind,
Senator Burrows said:
with all the vagaries of the three
Bryan platforms they all unite in the de-
mand for the free and unlimited COMA ge
of silver at 16 to 1, and to that question
his time in his speech of acceptance. He
declared that times are hard, prices are
low, and something is vitality wrong 1t
is not the crime of ID, however, but the
folly of 90. when Harrison was defeated
and the prosperity of the United States
destroyed.
Mr.. Whitney says: Don't talk about
the tariff But the whole difficulty to-
day is tariff. When Mckinley is president
the money question will settle itself.
:'More silver dollars were coined dur
ing Republican administrations than dur
ing all of the other eighty-three years of
our history.
Panic always accompanies free trade.
During the thirty years from 1861 to
1892 we had unbounded prosperity
wealth advanced; this republic took a
lead in manufacturing and stood ahead of
all other nations until March +. 1898.
publican administrations, and increased
under Democratic There is not a single
day but the government is running be-
hind. The deficiency during july 1896
alone was S13,O0O.000
The results of the Democratic policy
are so evident that a new issue was nee
essary to give them even fighting
chance before the people in this cam
paign. and so they say that in 1873 the
Republican party caused the trouble by
demonetizing silver. If that is so why
did it not show itself before 1893? We
were prosperous in 49,, and the crime had
been committed before then"

What wild talk is this of the silver
ties convention. sin favor of restoring
to the people of the United States the
me-honored money of the constitution
gold and Silver-not one, but both
The constitution prescribes no such
money, nor any form of money what
ever.
But if it is gold and silver-not one,
but both''-that they want, why are they
not contented now? Both gold and silver
are in circulation now. on equal terms,
in larger quantities than ever before.
In the twenty-five years since the blood
curdling "crime of 1879 was perpetrated
more than fifty times many silver dol
lars have been coined as in the eighty
years preceding.
The simple fact is that the United
States has a very much larger actual
supply of full legal-tended silver money
than any other country in the world,
excepting India and China. and larger
supply in proportion to its population
than any other. excepting France, Spain
and Holland. 1t has more gold in clrcu-
lation actually. than any in the world,
excepting only France. and more proper
tionately than any European country,
excepting Great Britain, France and
Germany 1t also has more money OF
all kinds in circulation, and all at par,
than most nations of the world.
Less talk and more reflection would
convince these would-be currency re
formers that we already have what
they talk of as 1.-The time-honored money
of the constitution in abundant supply,
for every man who is willing honestly
to earn it-New York Tribune.

Mills, Not MINIS.

More truth cannot be crowded into an
equal number of words than is found in
this massage of Maj. Mckinley's speech
in reply to a congratulatory address from
some of his old comrades in arms:
1 do not know what you think about 1t.
but / believe it is good deal better to open
Dor of America than to open up the mlnts OF
the United States TO the silver of the world
This goes hard and straight to the
root of the matter
Times are not dull in Pittsburg because
there is 10 mint coming silver or gold
dollars in that city, but because the
great iron works are not running on full
time There was mint at work III
South Chicago when the rolling mills
were at work by night and by day. but
there was a wage roll of S6.OOO.O0O a
year 1t was not because of the activity
of the mints that Louisiana nearly dou-
bled its sugar output. but because of the
Mckinley bounty. 1t was not because
the minis were more active in 1891 than
in 1893 that in the first year men were
striking because they could not earn
more than So per day, and in the last
were hunting for work at 70 cents. and,
for the most part, not finding it. The
minis were turning out as much money
in 1893 as in 1891. But the mills were
not turning out SO many yards of cloth
or tons of IRON
Start the mills and the minis will be-
come active. Return to protection, and
the currency will settle itself.-Chicago

Curiosities of Our Money.

Few persons are aware that silver GER
tificates are not legal tender, though re-
ceiva bic for public dues. The fact was
recently. 1T is stated, forced on tb e
attention of the pOstoffice department by
:: uerson who refused to accept the GER
tificates in payment of money order
Thus it seems, the government is obliged
to receive silver certificates, but cannot
nav them out to any one unwill ng to re-
ceiye them Should our silver friends be-
come able TO legislate, they viii doubtless
make the certificates legal lender, so as
to force the unwilling patri OF to take the
paper representative of 50 cents at a 100
cent valuation.

1t is a plea for bimetallism and in strong

Free silver and Wages.

A correspondent attempts to explain
how wages would be increased under
free silver coinage by asserting that
trades unions, through strikes and
other means. would force the price of
labor to a higher standard" This is
sheer nonsense
Experfence has conclusively demon
strated that wages, under a debased sys-
tenn of currency. never increased in the
same degree as the money cost of COM
modities If there was ever a condition
of affairs which was favora bic to such
an increase it was during the Rebellion.
We were not only on cheap money
basis but the ranks of labor had been
enormously depleted to send men to the
front to battle for the republic. Yet,
what actually occurred? Judged by the
purchasing power of his wages the Ia
borer in 1868 received only IS cents
where he had received gold dollar in
1860; in 1864 he received about 81 cents
and in 1868 a little over &C cents
But how do workingmen fancy the idea
of being compelled to resort to ''strikes"
in order that their wages may have the
same purchasing power that they do
now2 1t viii occur to sensible toilers
that if free silver coinage is going to
precipitate strikes. not really for higher
wages. burt simply to keep the wages
that already exist. it will be the part of
wisdom to let well enough alone.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.
