SAYING GRACE.

Little Fay had accepted an invitation
To dine with her little friend May.
And when dinner was done,
And they went out TO run,
Fay asked In an innocent way:
"What was it your papn was saying this noon
When you folded your hands, Just 80.
And sat up so straight,
And bowed to your platter
couldn't quito hear him, you know"
Said May, ale was Just saying THANK you &c
God
For giving us food every day"
"Ohi" said Fay, with surprise
And with wide open eyes.

Every crank who ventures to proselyte
for free silver seems to think that the
poor man is his most promising game.
The doctrine he presents is that more
money is needed that the poor man may
have plenty. He does not say how the
poor man is to get any more money,
which is the important thing. nor that
a cheap money is the one thing the poor
man can stand less ably than the rich
man. The poor man, the workingman,
or the farmer, are served only when
they have the best money obtainable.
Suppose for moment that free silver
should drive the gold dollar out of cir
culation. The first effect is ON the poor
man. When he receives his weekly
wages it is paid in the cheap money.
He is the first loser. He can buy less
with it than with the higher priced
money, of course. If he happens to be
earning $12 q week and the dollars are
cut down from gold basis to silver
basis he will get ~ dollars, worth pos
sibly 70 cents each, or $40, instead of
the value that prevails when the gold
standard is accepted. With cheap money
prices will go up. What he buys he
will have to pay more for. Manufactur-
ers are not going to produce their wares
and sell them for the same number Of
dollars when the dollars are worth less
money. The poor man will catch it in
both directions.
Cheap money disarranges all business
relations. There is no such thing as
one standard for one class and another
for another class. The talk of the debt
or's money and the creditors money is
bunko. Every man is debtor and cred
itor all the time. The workingman is
the creditor while he is earning his
wages, until he is paid. He is debtor
for the few things he buys without pay
ing for when he gets them. AS he pays
cash for much of what he buys, and al
lows all his wages to stand until the
end of the week or month, he is cred
itor more than he is debtor. The cheap
money, which is to benefit the debtor,
would benefit the employer who owes
him wages, and who pays the wages in
the deprecated coin.
There is but one standard desirable,
and that is the best dollar that can be
made. The standard is now fixed at
trifle more than 20 grains of pure gold.
The aim of the country is to keep all
other dollars, gold, silver or paper, up
to that standard and not debase or
cheaper any of them. -Pittsburg Times.

Gold Clause Becoming Popular.

There were two interviews printed in
The News yesterday which ought to set
people thinking. 1t was shown in one
of these interviews that the banks are
already beginning to call in their paper,
even paper which at other times they
would have been glad to renew. This
tendency on the part of lenders of money
will grow stronger as the situation
grows more uncertain. Men who lend
money on gold basis will take no
chances Of being repaid in cheap silver.
This is shown by the practice of the
building associations, as described in
the other interview. The secretary of
one Of these associations said yesterday
that there had been hardly building
association mortgage made in the past
three years which did not contain q gold
clause. We quote his words:
II do not believe it is generally known
that nearly every building and loan as
ISOLATION in this city and in the state,
suppose, has put in every mortgage it
has taken for the last three years q
clause to the effect that the loan shall
be paid in gold, if demanded by the as
ISOLATION. The association of which
am secretary has out $470, 900, and that
clause is in every mortgage. Indian

why Minnesota Is For Gold.

Minnesota Democrats declared un-
equivccally for the gold standard. They
did so unexpectedly. The big delega-
tions from Minneapolis and Duluth were
pledged for 16 to /, and it was taken
for granted that the country delegations
would favor silver. Why did they vote
for gold?
Several reasons have been suggested.
The one most often met with is that the
farmers are composed largely Of honest
and intelligent Scandinavians and Ger
mans who cannot be caught with free
silver sophistry. AS over rs per cent Of
Minnesota's population is foreign born,
this answer may be partly true. A more
reasonable explanation, however, is
found in the reported statement that a
large portion of the farm mortgages in
Minnesota are made payable in ''gold
coin of the United States of the present
standard of weight and fineness. a" Be-
ing compelled to pay their debts in gold
the farmers wish to receive as good
money when they sell their products.
The fact that far larger portion Of
mortgages will contain the gold clause
next November than now may spoil
many votes for the 16 to 1 scheme.

The Position of the Local Press.

Independence of utterance on all questions
of public interest on the part of the local
press is one of the imperative
demands Of the day. Neither fear nor favor
should influence their utterance. But we
fear this is not the rule of action and that
public outrages result from this neglect OF
duty. Evidently one in Minnesota thinks
so, as witness the following from the Carver
Free Press:
Suppose newspaper man, every time
he hears of man who criticises him or his
paper In public, should retaliate by holding
up to the public gaze the faults and short
comings Of said fault finder, what would be
the result? Why, the criticiser would think
himself terribly outraged and would thirst
for gore. Then the poor quill-driver would
get shot or shoot somebody. The patient
beast of burden, the country journalist,
never does this except under great provoca-
ton. 1t isn't because he is afraid to do 1t,
but because he isn't mean enough. He
allows men to 20 around trying to destroy
his business. He hears his paper called a
worthless sheet because the editor in doing
his duty has stepped on somebody's toes.
Such worthless scoundrels should receive no
mercy at the hands Of the press"

This country las pow over 81 $780,
600, 600 in mct@lii5 money in nearly
equal amount Il goA and silver. The
free coinage advocates propose that the
government should coin all the silver
brought to tho United States mints at a
ratio of 1G - /. AS the commercial
ratio Is over 80 to- /, the result of such
free coinage would be TO force out of
circulation all the gold now in use.
This always has been and always will
be the effect Of laws making a cheaper
money legal tender for the same
amount Ct v,IGC rs better money.
There can be 10 escape from the con-
clusion that so long as tho bullion in a
silver dollar is worth lees than that in
q gold dollar the dearer coin will not
circulate.
The real question, therefore, which
the American people are called upon to
answer is - neither they wish TO continue
the present system, by which over $780,
100000 Of silver money is kept at a
parity with gold, or to adopt 16 to
free coinage law which will give us sill
yer money only. All who want the per-
manent use of both metals should vote

Free Coinage Would Hurt Debtors as vxsli

she needs q long spoon who would
sup with tha devil" is. good old Span
ish proverb. 1t is one which should be-
remembered by all the voters who have
been deluded into favoring the free sill
yer plan for robbing creditors by cutting
the value of the dollar in two.
1t is unfortunately true that the clear
est proof of the dishonesty of a scheme
which would enable men who have bor-
rowed 100 cent dollars to pay back the
loan in 90 cent dollars does not cause
the men who favor it to abandon their
agitation. There was time when the
people had only to be shown that GER
tain policy was dishonest and immoral
to secure its prompt condemnation. But
through shortsighted and foolish self
ishness, which seems to have blighted
their moral sense, large number Of
persons now openly declare their will
ingness to repudiate debts. "Free silver
will cheat creditors?" they say. "Then
all the more reason why We should
have it,"
Such men can only be reached in one
way. This is by showing them that
stealing from creditors is exactly like
stealing from any other property owner,
and that if this country once inaugu-
rates policy of confscating one-half Of
the property Of some men, it will not be
long before all property rights will be
assailed How will this suit the great
majority Of the American people, who
all have some property and are trying to
get more? Are they ready to start in
robbing on wholesale scale by debasing
the currency?
Even if one-half of the debts in this
country were wiped out it by no means
follows that debtors would be benefited.
TheIparalysis of industry which would
follow the withdrawal of capital would
cause such suffering and loss to all classes
that debtors as well as creditors would
be involved in the common ruin. When
the men who paid their debts in cheap
silver went to borrow more money, they
would find that no one would lend, I'M
less at very high interest rates, sufficient
to cover the risk of another reputation
scheme. Thus in the end the men who
had hoped to profit by dishonesty would
find themselves still poorer than they
are now. The attempt to cheat the devil
by robbing people of their property with
16 to 1 law, instead of stealing it
openly, is miserable trick. His satanic
majesty cannot be fooled in that way.

Trying to Hurt Business.

The silverites who are bowling about
"hard times" and appealing for votes
for free coinage ON the ground that bus
mess is dull are very careful not to give
any particulars as to the way in which
their scheme will improve matters. This
neglect Of very important part Of q
new policy can only be explained by the
absence Of any facts which would sup
port the free silver theories.
What do these cheap money shouters
expect, anyhow? How could business be
good with lot of agitators stirring up
the whole country with their threats of
upsetting the financial system ON which
business has been transacted for the last
30 years? Are the owners of capital
likely to invest it in productive industry
so long as there is danger that free
silver congress will confiscate one-half
of itP Will any sensible mari lend money
to start new enterprises if there is the
slightest reason for thinking that he
will not get it all back? Is it any won
der that there should be idle men when
investors are afraid to part with the
money which should go to build mills
and factories and give the workers en-
ployment?
The silverites would hardly be sur
prised IL after a.lot of fireworks had
been set off near horse the frightened
animal should run away. Now should
they find any reason for surprise if their
threats of Reputation and a financial
revolution should not scare tho country
