Mr.. Hobart's Monet.ry Views.

In his speech Of acceptance Mr.. Ho-
bart Of Paterson. N. j., the Republican
nominee for vice president spoke with
vigor and directness on the currency
question. He is opposed to all schemes
to corrupt the present measure Of values.
He said in part:
Gold is the one standard of value
among all enlightened commercial ma
tions. All financial transactions Of
whatever character, all business enter
prises. all individual or corporate in
vestments are adjusted to it. An honest
dollar, worth 100 cents everywhere, can
not be coined out of So cents worth Of
silver, plus legislative fat Such de-
basement of our currency would inevita-
bly, produce incalculable loss. appalling
disaster and national dishonor.
1t is fundamental principle in coin
age, recognized and followed by all the
statesmen of America in the past and
never yet safely departed from, that
there can be only one basis upon which
gold and silver may be concurrently
coined as money, and that basis is
equality, not in weight, but in the COM
mercial value of the metal contained in
the respective coins. This commercial
value is fixed by the markets of the
world, with which the great interests of
our country are necessarily connected
by innumerable business ties which
cannot be severed or ignored.
Great and self reliant as our country
is, it is great not alone within its own
borders and upon its own resources. but
because it also reaches out to the ends
of the earth in all manifold departments
of business. exchange and commerce.
and must maintain with honor fts'stand-
ing and credit among the nations of the
earth.

THEY SPIT RITTER


London, July 27.-The sitting of the
house of Commons, which adjourned
at o'clock Friday morning, was re-
markably ordinary except in the case
of an indignant speech delivered by
Edward H. Carson, Conservative, who
attacked the governments method in
regard to their procedure with the
Irish land bill. Mr. Carsons remarks
were very bitter He charged the gov
eminent with having systematically
rejected the amendments offered by or
in behalf of the Irish landlords and
accepted those of the home rulers. and
also accused them of having changed
their opinions for the sake of retaining
office.
A. ]. Balfour, first lord of the treas
ury, Indignantly denied the truth of
the accusations made by Mr.. Carson.
He declared that as a practical man he
was obliged to consider what could
and what could not be done. Unless
there were fewer amendments to the
measure, he said, the passage of the
bill would be endangered.
After Mr.. Balfour's reply to Mr.. Car
son. most of the amendments which
had been prepared were withheld
When the bill had passed the commit
tee stage, Timothy NJ. Healy MADE
speech in which he paid high tribute
to the skill and industry displayed by
General Balfour. chief secretaryfor
Ireland, in dealing with the measure.

Farm owners and Wage Farmers.

The Boston Globe says: "Mr. Henry
George, who is at Chicago looking on,
finds the real basis of the free coinage
movement in the necessities of the
mortgaged farmers of the west. In q
depreciation Of the currency, he says,
there is clear gain for these men. The
depreciation of the currency will not in
crease the amount Of their mortgages,
but it will increase the price, in dollars,
of their farms. This will not be because
the farms become worth more, but be-
cause the dollars in which their value
is measured will be worth less, and as
most of these working farmers have got
hold Of more land than they really want
to use, in the expectation Of profiting
by its growth in value, an era of specu-
lation that will enhance land prices has.
to their imagination. strong element
of hope
1.-The wage earners of the east hold
exactly the opposite end Of the free sill
yer bargain. Mr.. George states their po-
sition in part when he says that the de-
probation Of the currency by free coin
age, while it may increase nominal
wages, will also increase the price Of
the things those wages buy, and that in
a general appreciation Of prices the
price Of labor is likely to lag behind.
But this hardly tells half the story. The
mortgaged farmers Of the west undoubt-
eddy belong TO the debtor class, while
the workingmen Of the east form the
great creditor class. Our wage earners
are creditors of the corporations in whose
mills they work, Of the employers who
buy their labor, Of the savings banks.
the insurance companies, the industrial
associations in which they have placed
their savings. Indirectly to the amount
of millions Of dollars they are the cred
itors of those very mortgaged farmers
Of the wes."

Free Silver Fits.

The financial huinbugs who are trying
to throw the country into panic so
that they can have a chance to try their
patent silver pills in doses Of l6 to
are very much like the quack doctor
who was called in to see sick man.
Not knowing what was the matter with
the patient the doctor began to shout
and jump around the bed. When asked
to explain his extraordinary behavior he
said: "Oh. / just want TO scare him
into fits. Then / can cure him, for I'm
death on fits"
The silverite quacks think il they can
only howl calamity long and loud
enough they can scare manufacturers
and other business men into shutting
down. and thus bring on hard times.
Then they fancy that the idle and dis
contented workers will rush to the agi-
tators, whose threats of debasing the
currency caused the business depression,
and ask them for their great 80 cent
dollar remedy for financial fits. But
they are mistaken. The American peo-
pie do not want to be made i'll merely
for the sake of trying some cheap money
nostrum. They have no confidence in
the free silver doctors, and will give
them several kind of fits early next No

SILVER IN BOLIVIA.
The Coalition a Kausan Finds In That
Republic.

Republic.
Hon. Thomas Moonlight, prominent
and able Kansas Democrat, who is now
minister to the republic of Bolivia, has
recently written to friend in, Kansas
the following letter:
81 am in a country having for its
financial basis silver. Now permit me
in all frankness and in the spirit of
pure disinterested friendship, and with
an abiding faith and deep love for the
Democratic party, to say that if you
were here or in any other free silver
country you would at once see the mis-
cry and wretchedness caused by cur
rency below par value in the CONNER
cial world. Clerks in the stores here
who would receive in our country $50
per month get only 40 Bolivians in sill
yer or its equivalent, equal to about SIS
American money and find themselves.
Laborers receive per diem, and find
themselves, from % to rs cents in sill
yer, equal to about 90 cents in American
money. Mechanics receive on an aver
age one Bolivian per diem and find
themselves. equal to about A cents in
American money. This condition is
true, more or less, of all countries hav-
ing silver for basis. In all countries
where silver is basis there exists a
species of semislavery among all the
wageworkers, and particularly among
laborers and farmhands."

tree Coinage Would Take Half of An
Act Before 1t Is Too Late.

Act Before 1t Is Too Late.
At the annual meeting of the Savings
Banks association of the state of New
York the following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved, That this association, representing
the interests of !, 100000 depositors with de-
posits aggregating over s7O00o0, 0OO0, solemnly
protests against any and all efforts 10 change
the gold standard now existing of the currency
Of the country and affirms its conviction that
any departure from this standard will not only
impair the prosperity of the laboring classes,
but that the only classes or individuals TO be
benefited would be the capitalist and foreign
investor who would be quick to take advan-
tage Of the rise and ultimate fall in prices
sure to follow a premium on gold.
Resolved, That in our Judgment the future
prosperity of the country and the welfare Of
the people demand not only that the gold
standard shall be maintained, but the cur
rency system now in use shall be so changed
and rcmodeled as to meet and adapt il to the
increasing needs OF commerce, and equal in se-
curity and credit with the best in circulation
by any of the civilized nations Of the earth.
Every dollar in these savings banks
is worth 100 cents in gold and represents
labor measured in gold. Free coinage at
l6 to will shrink these dollars to about
90 cents. Instead of getting back $780,
900, 900 these 100000 depositors
would get back $3.50, 900, 900 in dollars
of present value. Perhaps they have
worked and saved for years to see one
half of their earnings wiped out by the
destructive free silver tornado-more
awful than all of the tornadoes and
earthquakes that have visited this coun->
try since Columbus discovered it.
The free silver cyclone will not strike
us unless we invite it to come our way.
In fact the 4,S75, 900 depositors, who
have 81, 500, 900, 900 in the 1,017 saw
ings banks Of this country, have it in
their power to prevent the invitation.
They have but to vote solidly against
any party and any candidate that sup
ports the free silver robber scheme and
their savings will be spared. They can
easily obtain the assistance of the l., $780,
900 stockholders who have $3.50. 900. 900
invested in the 5000 building and loan
associations of this country.
Let the 5000, 900 or 10000, 900 who
have savings. in one form or another.
clearly understand what l6 to means
to them and the jig is up with the cheap
dollar agitation. The 100000 or
6, 900, 900 holders of life insurance poll
cies also have much at stake. They have
paid their premiums in gold and are en-
titled to have their policies paid in gold.
All such investors should study this sill
yer question and learn on which side
their interests lie before 1t is too late
to save themselves. If they can see no
moral reason why they should not vote
for fraudulent change Of standards Of
value, perhaps they can see selfish rea-
son that will cause them to vote for
honest money.-B. w. H.
