REV. THOMAS DIXON attempt
ed last Sunday in New York to
deliver a Mckinley speech from
his pulpit. His audience hap
pened to be partly democratic,
and the reverend gentleman
was met with Kisses and cat
calls. This was right. When
ever a minister of the gospel
prostitutes the pulpit to politics
whether he advocates McKin-
ley, BRYAN or any other party,
he should be promptly sat down
upon, just as was Dixon.

SILVER AND COTTON.
Recent Movements In the Market Make
Certain Questions Pertinent.

recent movements In the Market MAKE
Certain Questions Pertinent.
The reports of Fridays cotton mar
kct in New York were both interesting
and important.
The chief note was the recent rise In
price of bullion silver and the state
| ment that it has had an almost instan-
| taneous effect on the cotton market.
| Just why this is SO is partially explain
ed i'll Mcintyre & Wardwell's New
York cotton letter, which we reprint:
Silver has lately been rising quito rapidly,
and there Is q big silver speculation in prog
| ress In London based largely on the spread Of
| free silver sentiment in this country. This
may put MP silver quotations materially, and
this greatly stimulated Manchester's trade in
cotton goods with East lndia-in fact, Liver
pool sales Of spot cotton In two days are 5000
bales. fact which speaks volumes.
This may very well be supplemented
by the New York Suns cotton review:
For a time this morning the situation looked
rather weak, partly owing to the decline In
Liverpool. where the work OF decimating the
weak bulls had not been quite finished. but
later on. when it was found that Manchester
had woke up, or at least owned up that II was
doing good business prices here rose rapid
ly. The Manchester revival Is attributed al
most solely to the recent rise IN silver. which
naturally has n stimulating effect on business
with the East Indies. The early decline here
was all recovered On the double quick, the
market rising Q to IL points from the lowest
figures Of the morning.
Now, here is testimony Of the most
| unanswerablc kind right out Of Wall
street-right from the headquarters Of
tha i,,t IL Mnrn
over, tho testimony seems to be gladly
impaired to the public There is q
cheerfulness, an elation, in the tone Of
the reports which we quote that cannot
be mistaken. 1t is declared that even q
slight rise in the price Of bullion silver
helps the cotton market by stimulating
Manchester trade with the far east.
This is precisely what The Constitu-
ton has been declaring for years-that
the value Of silver and the market price
Of cotton and wheat are linked together
| and are inseparable. The question arises
here, and we invite the poor crushed
| and defeated cuckOos to answer it: II
| the demand for silver in the east in
creases the value Of that metal, why
will not the inexhaustible demand Of
| the open United States minis restore the
value represented by the present ratio
| Of 16 to /?
One more question: II the slight rise
in the value of silver, whether it be
brought about by the eastern demand
or by the certainty that the Democrat
ic party will declare for free coinage,
tends to advance the price Of cotton,
why will not the rise of silver to the
mint ratio increase the price Of cotton
in proportion?
Another question in conclusion: If
the increase i'll the value Of silver to
the extent Of 1 penny fails to disturb
the gold value, why will the increase
in the value Of the metal to the extent
Of Is. Cd. drive out the yellow metal?-

Unconscious Humor.

The Philadelphia Times says: ''Ev-
sents ain expenditure of 100 cents worth
Of labor measured In gold value. If the
government should authorize the free
coinage Of silver and thus establish sill
yer monometallism, every dollar in the
savings banks would shrink to SO cents
worth Of gold value. In other words,
every deposit would be cut in half-a
gold dollar worth 100 cents would be
paid for with a silver dollar worth so
cents. It is this monstrous fraud which
the advocates Of cheap money insist
shall be perpetrated by the congress and
president to he elected November next. "
Could there be q more bold faced
falsehood than this? In all probability
four-fifths Of these deposits were made
in silver dollars or silver certificates.
Some OF them were made years ago,
and some Of them were made this year
Tho market value Of silver has been
fluctuating during this period, but a
check on any Of these savings banks
calling for 81 was payable in 100 cop
per cents or one paper dollar, whether
silver certificate, gold certificate,
greenback, national bank note or other
kind. or in silver coin or in gold coin.
They were equal and interchangeable
between drawer, drawee and payee, or
at the grocery, factory or almost any
where else in this country. If free coin
age came, such check would still call
for 100 cents and not so cents, nor any
representative of so cents. Nor would
any bank dare to offer but so cents to
any depositu who had given in one dol
lar-nO matter Of what kind-at the re-
ceiving teller's window. There may be
arguments against free silver worthy
of respectful hearing, but such rash
statements as those Of the Philadelphia
Times must elicit only a guffaw.-Cin-
cinnati Post.

bring bullion To the mint and have it
the silver dollar retained its quality as
an unlimited legal tender, which it
holds to this day. This act of Feb. 81,
1S13, established a mintagc charge Of
onc-half Of per cent on all gold and
silver whether coined or run into ingots
cu ;sc"' Unit Of d'rcSitorS, i'll addition to
thu chargc for refining or parting the
metals contained in the act Of 1887.
Thus the matter stood until the pas
sag 81 the act If Feb. -, 1878, which
established The gold dollar as the unit
of valu" and demonctizcd silver by
emitting tn STANDARD silver dollar from
The list ,f c;ii- Until that day any
person might bring standard silver bull
lion 800 degrees fine to the mint and
for each 31l.2j grains Of pure silver
therein obtain silver dollar, paying
only onehalf per cent coinage charge.
If he brought pure silver to the mint
instead Of standard bullion, nine-tenths
fine, he would have to pay ? cents an
ounce for the copper alloy. If 500
ounces Of pure silver were deposited at
the mint, it would coin GIG dollars.
There would be 80. 30 ounces Of copper
required for alloy, which would cost
Sill. Tho one-half per cent for coin
age would be So %, which would make
the total charge at the mint $4.34 on
646 dollars
Through ignorance or malice, the
statement is frequently made that un-
der free coinage the owners Of silver
mines would sell their product to the
government. Pictures are drawn Of the
government vaults choked with silver
which it would be unable to force into
circulation. This idea has probably
grown out of the acts Of 1878 and 1890,
both Of which provided not for free
coinage, but for purchase by tho United
States of limited amount Of silver
each month, the dollars coined there
from or the notes issued in payment
therefor not being legal tender when
otherwise specified i'll the contract. I'M
der free coinage the government would
not purchase the silver coined into dol
lars. Itwould simply coin the silver for
whoever brought it to the mint and
hand the coin over to the person who
brought the silver.-Denver News.

According to Mr.. Stroud Of North
Carolina, who has quite recently made
investigation. and plenty Of first class
proof is at hand to verify his statement.
our debt, public and private. municipal

by the farmers and all the gold and sill

to only about 81. 400. 900, 900 annually.
the appalling fact remains that after

A PLAIN STATEMENT.
What Is Meant by Free and Unlimited Coin
age at the Ratio Of Sixteen to One.

=
age at the Ratio Of Sixteen to One.
Not at all infrequently even yet the
query department of The Sunday News
Is called upon to explain what is meant
by free and unlimited coinage at the "a
ito of 16 to l.
Occasionally there is question which
betrays depth Of ignorance most faith
omless. The News has received one
and from a small town in Colorado at
that-which makes us believe that O
statement of the familiar facts will be
OF value in some quarters. In effect 10
is as follows:
"A. bets B. that 10 to means that the
minis shall coin 16 silver dollars for
every gold dollar they coin. B. bets that
1t means there shall be 10 parts Of pure
silver to part Of alloy in each silver
dollar. Which wins?''
Neither Of these notions has anything
to do with the meaning Of the express
sion "16 to l." 1t means that the
weight Of pure gold in q gold dollar
shall be 90. 30 grains and the weight Of
pure silver in a silver dollar shall be
S71.25 grains. 1t will be seen that the
weight Of silver in q silver dollar is
within a trifling fraction Of 10 times
the weight Of gold in gold dollar, the
ratio being called for convenience 16
to 1.
The act of 1S37-for free and unlim-
tied coinage at this ratio-provided
that gold and silver bullion brought to
the mint should be received and coined
for the benefit Of the depositor. The
coinage was free and unlimited, because
any person might bring any quantity Of
gold or silver bullion of the standard
degree Of fineness to the mint and re-
ceive for it god or silver coins The
only charges permitted We're for refin-
ing when the bullion was below stand
ard, for toughening when metals were
contained i'll it which rendered it unfit
for coinage. for copper used for alloy
when introduced into the alloy for gold
and for separating gold and silver when
those metals exist together in the bull
lion. All of these charges relate to the
conversion Of bullion into the exact
kind of bullion suitable for coinage.
By the act Of Feb. 81, 1868, the right
Of individuals to have silver coined in
to half dollars, quarter dollars, dimes
and half dimes was taken away, the
quantity of silver put into such coins
was reduced, their UNLIMITED legal ten
der quality was reduced to a limit of
s., and the government went into the
making Of them as business, which
was profitable because Of the less guam
tity of silver put into them. The silver
dollar was not mentioned in this act.
The public retained the full right to
