Eut to-day there is no commercial ratio,
because the mint is open 10 gold and not
10 silver. Gold bullion has a coinage
value and silver has not The commercial
ratio of 1892 existed because there was free
coinage OF both metals. The Congress Of
1870 Invested silver of its coinage value
and thereby destroyed the market ratio
which was largely controlled by the fact
Jndt silver was q money metal. We must
not establish a coinage ratio between the
tYo metals until the We first open the
mint and put them on an equality. II we
must cnange the ratio OF 10 10 !, IL should
be done after. and not before we open the
mint TO silVer-it should be done after we
restore free coinage.
In view of this utteTanCe by Daniel,
and by all Influential! men at Chicago,
we are fCrce1, TO the belief that the men,
who profess TO fear a fifty cent dollar,
are either lying or are ignorant. The
truth is. that under the panOpiy of that
intense r5spectability wealth arrOgates,
there is more lying and insincer.ty now
passing current than was ever before to-
Grated among a people protesting intel
ligence. This c,atter about 4 depreciat-
e1 dollar originates with dishonest men
whose motive is deception, and it is
echoed by many honest men who have
been persuaded that the Democratic
party proposes to disregard the market
ratio. This claUer about a fifty cent
dollar originates with men whose sole
objec, is TO make gold the exclusive
money metal and who would be just
rs active against any Democratic nOml-
nee. Wnless they had a secret mortgage
on him). If the Chicago convention had
adopted as It's Platform the above ex-
tract from Daniels speech.
Is it not amusing that so many rail-

about national honor? tt there was the

OF the Present Financial Situation Drawn
From a Wartime Experience by Col
Arnett.
Fa.rmont Index.
Col. W. w. Arnett tells a good story Of
the late war. The Colonel says that one
time during the lsJe unpleasantness
medicines became very scarce in the
Confederate army. Their stock even OF
the most ordinary kinds was exhausted
and great deal OF suffering was occa-
stoned thereby. After a while a block
ade runner brought in a bOunt,ful sup
ply Of blue mass This was distributed
throughout the army, and so long as it
lasted it was prescribed for every dis
ease. No matter if you had collie or
corns, you had to take blue mass This
is about the way the Republican party
is doing in this campaign. They have
but one medicine for all of the ills from
which this country is suffering, and that
is protection" When our farmers are
getting poorer each year, when the price
OF their crops IS constantly declining and
they are not able, on the finest land, 10
make a support for their families, much
less pay any debts, they tell them that
all they need is protection when every
farmer in the land knows that the t5Iiff
never did benefit him Still in the face
of the fact that the Old medicine has
been tried in all OF It's forms for more
than twenty-five years, they insist upon
prescribing it again. When the small
Industries of the country are unable to
run on account of the difficulty In secur-
ing money to carry on their business,
and are slowly being swallowed up by
the larger concerns, they prescribe pro
lection. -. when the fact is that we are
now living under a tariff which gives
great majority of the industries a tariff
duty larger than the entire cost of the
labor which enters into articles they
produce.
When to maintain the gold standard
this country has been compelled TO issue
S262 600, 900 of bonds within the last
few years. they tell us that protection %
would remedy this evil when the fact is
that the total deficiencies Of revenue dur
ing that time has been but $50, 900 900,
leaving the enormous amount Of $780,
100000 unaccounted for, or lying idle n
the treasury Withdrawn from circula-
ton. thereby making money scarcer and
increasing the value of the gold dollar.
The truth is, the Republicans have no
logical arguments to sustain their posi-
ton in this campaign. They have no
plans for the improvement OF the condi-
ton OF the country, and are forced to
offer protection" like the old Rebs did
blue mass, because it is all they have to
give.

Special TO the Register.
Washington. d. c.. October 13.-Post-
master Genera, Wilson expresses sur
prise al The publication in the Register
few DAYS ago Of an extract from the
Washington correspondent Of the ST.
Louis Republic relating to Mr.. Wilson $
former attitude on the silver question.
The extract referred 10. the Postmaster
General declares. did him a great injus-
tee in that 10 alleged he had formerly
advocated in his campaigns in the Sec
Cnd Congressional distric, the free coin
age Of silver, and had voted for free coin
age in the House Of Representatives.
As 70 the latter allegation Mr.. Wilson
says the only occasion on which he voted
Cor a free coinage bill was a the time
when the Sherman bill, became a law.
He then voted in support Of motion
made in the House 20 substitute an abSC-
lutte free coinage bill for the Sherman
silver purchase bil, which had been
agreed on in the Senate. But he did
shiS, like many other Democrats, IN pur-
suanCe of an understanding with the free
silver Republicans Of the Senate that
they would vote against the force bill in
return for Democratic votes for free
coinage. On all other occasions during
his congressional career, when the ques-
ton Of free coinage was up in the House,
Mr.. Wilson declares he voted agains; it,
AS 90 ,h allegation that he has advo-
Gated the zee coinage of silver from the
stump n West Virginia. Mr.. Wilson says
it Is not true. When he dealt with that
subject IN his speeches to his const.cu-
ents. 10 was always in answer TO criti-
c.sms OF his course in voting against free
/ coinage. On these occasions he took the
| position To speaking to his constituents
/ that they were entitled 70 receive for
| their labor or their products the best
money in existence. He never adv0ca e.
| ed the free coinage OF silver in his cam
/ paigus and thinks It unjusl to him now
20 charge tha, he is In any way respons-
ible for the free coinage sentiment which
prevails in the Second Congressional
district or In the State.

Parkcrsburg. ". Va, October Ii
Ny attention has jus; been called 10 a
report in your esteemed newspaper Of
my speech at FairmOlC. I know that
you would moi intentionally misrepre-
sent me. nor by a misquo,ation add fuel
10 the existing excitement In that
speech did not call the "silver.tes"
knaves or fools OF anarchists. Nor did
I make a fool OF myself by saying that
bayonets would be used if ballots failed
10 put down The silver craze" Any
body in my audience can tell you that
what I did say was that If the lawiess
serpent of anarchy should raise its head
it would be stamped out; and if the
lovers of riot forced their hand, they
would find a nation of honest men
ready with sword and bayOneJ to save
the country
1 then went on to say that Mr.. Bryan
and all honest men, irrespective o. party.
would be on the same side. l went out
of my way to declare that Bryan is not
the man who would hurt any man in
tentionally by word or deed. feel sure
the Register will, by printing this letter,
relieve me of the charge OF using
vituperasion and utilization in discuss
ing the present issues. Thanking you
