WATSON RS FRIENDLY.
He Will Do Nothing to Injure Bry-
ans Chances.

CHICAGO, nOcti Ex-senator Butler,
chairman Of the Populist national COM
mittee, who arrived here last night, has,
with Vice Chairman Washburn, been
in consultation with Chairman Jones,
Of the Democratic committee, much of
the time today. They have gone over
the details Of the campaign at con-
siderable length together. They au-
thorize no statement, but 1t Is under
stood that they agree in CHASING Min
nesota, Michigan and Indiana as GER
tainly for Bryan. Much time was
spent in discussing the aspect as af-
fected by the Populist vote and SEN
Butler and Washburn that that vote
would be practically unanimous for
Bryan.
1T is" said Senator Butler, Sin much
better shape than we could have hoped
for at the beginning of the campaign.
There are, to be sure" he continued,
"a few states in which fusion has not
been arranged, but there has been no
failure in any state where Mr.. Bryan's
chances could be imperilled by failure. .
Mr.. Jones was also assured that there
need be no apprehension that Mr. Wat
son would do anything to imperii Mr..
Bryan's chances. His uch-discussed
letter Of acceptance will not be given
to the public. Senator Butler will not
give it out, and it is understood that
Mr. Watson has also agreed to with
hold it.
tsMr. Watson's letter." said Mr..
Washburn, sis very much in the line
OF his public speeches, and nothing
could be gained by it's publication at
this late day" 1t is also stated that
Mr. Watson will not participate farther
in the campaign than to make few
speeches in his own congressional dis
trict in Georgia. Senator Butler re-
turned to Washington tonight.

value than why they should be opened
to 1t at four forty or four hundred
times its actual value. There Is no
more reason why we should coin so
cents worth Of silver and call it a
dollar than why we should do the same
thing with five cents worth Of nickel
or five mills worth of copper. Once
admit that it is right, proper or ex-
pedient to separate the coinage value
of the metals from their commercial
value, and to force acceptance of a
coin by acts Of legal tender for more
than it's worth. and there is no stop
ping place.
The plain English Of Mr. Bryan's
proposition Is that he will do what
he can to put the United States in
bankruptcy and to force a settlement
dollar. His principal argument seems
to be that they cannot help them
selves. Why he makes it so cents on
the dollar instead of 20 or rs, we do
not know, and probably he does not
either. All that the people need to
know in this statement of his is its
open confession of a purpose to apply
force to the creditor in discharge of a
portion of his due. OF course. the
phrase about Conspiracy to make the
value of the dollar less is a bit of
Bryanese demagogy. The only Con
spiracy'' that has ever affected or ever
can effect the value of a certain
amount Of silver bullion is the willing
ness or unwillingress Of the people
as whole to accept it in exchange
for other commodities. All the powers
on earth could not depress the price
Of silver if the plain people," about
whom Bryan talks so much, were will
ing to accept it; just as the United
States certainly cannot raise it's value
by any process Of law
1t is something of a relief, how
ever, to get away from Mr. Bryan's
former pretense that free coinage
would raise the market value of silver
to $1.29 per ounce. At last he views
openly the contingency that the silver
dollar would be a cheap dollar, and
says that our creditors can take that
or nothing. We have not airy doubt
about what at least nine-tenths of the
American people think on this SUBJ
ject. The proposition affects every
creditor Of every description, every
man who has a dollar in the bank,
every holder Of a life insurance pol
icy, every recipient of a fixed income
and every Garner of wages. To all of
these, as well as to the foreigner, the
ultimatum is that they can take SO
cents on the dollar or nothing 1t
affects, likewise, every debtor, who is
also an honest man and who does not
care to save his purse at the expense
of his character.

ROBBERY BY LAW.

Mr.. Bryan does not care or does not
have the art to conceal the real mean
ing and purpose of his campaign. That
he proposes to force reputation pure
and simple upon the people of this
country is made plain by the follow
ing declaration in his speech at Chi
cago:
1 propose that the United States shall say
that the minis of this country shall open
to the free and unlimited coinage of silver
on equal terms with gold at the present
ratio, and the money coined shall be alike
legal tender for all debt, public and pri-
vate. And then l propose that we shall say
to our foreign creditors that we intend to pay
our coin obligations in either gold or silver.
l propose that we shall say to them. Gentle
men, IL you conspire to make that silver
dollar worth Less than the gold dollar, we
shall pay you in that silver dollar
There is not and cannot be any more
reason why the minis of the United
States should be opened to the free
coinage of silver at double its actual

A SPORT TO DISCOURAGE.

The public is getting a surfeit OF
pugilism. That always happens when
the restraining hand of the law is lift
ed from the sport. 1t has been so long
under the ban that it's associations
have become incurabIy disreputabie-
The fighting itself is much less object
i0nablc than the prominence which
fight. particularly one followed by
disputes, giv~s TO multitude OF the
sort Of men who live in the social shade
and smell damply of whiskey. All
the arguments in favor OF pugilism are
familiar-that it encourages skill and
pluck, reliance on ones fists in tead of
weapons, and Insecurity in general
But it happens that experience demon
strates that we cannot get these good
fruits without evil accomplishments
which more than Offset them. The
prize ring is one of the things which it
may be expedient to tolerate, but which
it is unwise to approve. SO long as
fighters and their following must
dodge about the country to escape the
police no great harm is done, but if the
sport be taken under the protection OF
the law it is given a sanction which
makes for brutality, for degradation.
While the ring is condemned by statute
it takes rank with the things that are
below the received moral standard of
the time and remains associated n the
minds of the respectable, old and
young, with those forms of vice which
all know to exist, but which have only
to assert themselves in order to en-
counter the repressive hostility of So
ciety.
Obviously, it is not practicable to
permit prize fights in civilized commu-
mites without demoralizing thousands
Cities like San Francisco and New
York are as much injured and disgrace
ed by their occurrence as if the bull
pit were substituted for the prize ring.
To give legal recognition to pugilism
is to invite gamblers, drunkards,
rOughs and all the social debris to
move out of darkness into the light
and take footing which removes the
salutary dread of the pOliceman's club.
The Juror over the recent affair in San
Francisco indicates at once how wide
spread and deep seated is the savage
human interest in fighting, and how
safe it is to abate in any degree the
prohibitions with which civilization
keeps ever present potential barbarism
under control. The ring belongs in
society's back yard, not on its lawn.

ENCOURAGE SMALL SAVINGS.

The question of postal savings banks
is attracting much attention in the
United States. Several foreign coun-
tries have this system and il is claimed
that enormous benefits flow from it.
a French writer says it is the savings
bank which has taught the workman
of France how he can become capital
ist in mOderating his consum ption to
bring it within his production, and in
amassing the excess, called savings, in
a fruitful place in complete security;
from the bank he learns how capital
is formed and how it can be produced.
The savings bank is. in fact, a school
which seems to be created for the ap-
premiership of industrial business. 1t
teaches d man to govern himself, to re-
sist bad, or useless impulses and so
aids in building up sound discretion,
which is the first success in life.
The presence of facilities for saving
and obtaining a small interest on ones
Accommodations affects the character as
we'll as the wealth of people. Not
only is capital created and the rainy
day provided against, but habits of
sobriety and thrift, which are elements
of moral excellence, are greatly pro-
NOTED.
Various public officials have at times
urged upon congress the idea of
utilizing the po-toffice for the accumu-
lation as well as the transmission eff
money, insisting upon its utility in the
agricultural districts, but so far con-
gress has not deemed the matter ripe
for action.-Phoenix Republican.

ON goods imported from over sea,
the importing country pays the ocean
freight. If brought in her own YES
sells, she pays the freight to her own
citizens; and the money does not leave
the country. If foreign vessels carry
the imports, the freight must be paid
abroad; and so much money or goods
must leave the country as freight pay
ment. In the fiscal year 1895 the Unit
ed States imported by sea S6S9, 761,9 'l
worth of goods. Only S10S, 219, 615 came
in our own vessels. Assuming ocean
freight on American imports to equal
8 per cent, the ocean freightage which
we have to pay abroad in that fiscal year
would be a little more than 81, 100000.
But our exports are larger than our
imports. and far more bulky. There
fore II per cent is taken as fair
estimate of freightage on our exports.
At any rate, freightage on the exports
