ENGLAND AND M'KINLEY.

On ge neral principles it is safe for this
country to do in u commercial way exactly
what England advises should not be done.
At this particular time British news
papers and manufacturers are volunteer
ing good deal. of political advice to the
people of the United States, especially
concerning what the attitude of this
country ought to be toward Mr.. McKin-
ley's candidacy for the Presidency. The
Daily argus, q newspaper published at the
great English manufacturing town of
Bradford, bewails the almost certainty of
the United States returning to protection,
and it refuses to be comforted. 1t says the
re-enactment of the law of 1890 would
surely revive business in America ana
give the country very much stronger in
dustrial and financial position. Quite a
number of other British journals are OF
the same opinion, and they all agree that
the election of Mckinley would be q
notification TO English industrial plants
that their products are not wanted, be-
caase American plants would keep the
markets supplied with their own make of
goods.
The wool.dealers as well as the manu-
facturers of wooden goods are very much
averse to the election of Mr.. Mckinley,
and not without cause. During the last
year of the operation of the McKin
ley tariff act our factories took only
3s,500000 pounds OF Liverpool wool,
and in the first year OF the
Wilson act they took 109. 500, 900 pounds,
and our dealers in wooden goods imported
SAL, 600 600 more of them in the first year
OF the Wilson tariff than in the last year
of the Mckinley law. In view of these
facts it is not surprising to see England
advocating the defeat of Mr.. Mckinley.
Bnt wool and wooden goods are only two
items of the long list of British made
articles OF trade that will have to paw
good round tax to enter our markets when
Mr.. Mckinley is President. The list in
cludes practically every industrial pro-
duct, but not one article that We cannot
manufacture in this country, and largely.
too, from our own raw material.
But all Englishmen are not complain
ing about Mr.. McKinley's chances for
election. On the contrary, there is very
large army of Britisaers who are praying
for his election very much to the disgust of
their industrial neighbors. They are
Englishmen who are investors and who
have great many million dollars in
vested in American railways, and they
argue that with protection the volume of
domestic business would be multiplied,
which in turn would largely increase the
traffic of the roads and thus insure them
larger returns on their investment. They
have no interest in British industries, but
they have money in employment in
America, and they know from experience
that protection in the United States
makes business lively, and that the
livelier it is the more their investments
in this country will earn. So it would
seem England has become house divided
against itself. SO far as a protective tariff
in America Is concerned.

THE DIFFERENCE.

The Merican FSndacier, an industrial
and financial journal published in the
City of Mexico, says: "As for luxuries,
our working people do not strive for them
they are not used to them and do not de-
mand them" The Finoncier adds, by
way of explanation, that the working peo-
pie, including skilled labor. are not ambi-
tious for homes and the higher comforts
of life as the wage-earners of the United
States are.
NOW, what the Findncier really means is
that low wages paid in cheap money is
calculated to dull the natural appetite of
man for comfortable existence, and
that when a man is educated" to not
crave luxuries or even the ordinary COM
forts of life his ambition is too nearly
crushed to death to inspire him TO want
home of his own, or to aspire to be any,
thing higher than mere human labor
performing machine.
The Finoncier does not say whether or
not Mexican working people are supposed
to have souls but the presumption is that
they are not supposed to have anything
OF the Kind. Any way the Findncier gives
a very correct picture of the condition OF
the working class in the silver monometal-
lie country of Mexico.
The other day large delegation OF
working people from that immense indus
trial district of which Pittsburg is the Gen.
ter called upon Mr.. Mckinley at his home
in Canton to assure him that not only
themselves but the working class gem
orally fully appre ciate the bold stand he
has taken TO still further advance the in
terests of the wage-earners of the United
States. These men who waited upon Mr..
Mckinley are not the kind the Me1Scdn
Financter refers to. They demand and
they stri We for luxuries, and they are am
bilious to be in a position where they may
participate in the wealth accumulations
of the country. Did Mr.. Mckinley tell
them that they should not get used to
living like human beings and then they
would not strive-would not be ambitious
to enjoy the comforts of life? Mr.. Nc
Kinley assured them, but they already
knew it to be true. that the party he rep
resents aims to conduct the affairs of the
Government in line with the policy that
"will serve the highest and best interests
of American labor, American agriculture,
American commerce and American citi-
zenship."
Mr.. Mckinley told them, inferen TALLY
at least, that they should demand oppor-
tunity to strive for whatever is their dne
as American citizens. The burden Of MIR.
McKinley's speech to the delegation of
workingmen was that the head and front
of the strength of our system of govern
ment lies in honest effort on the part of

wage-earners. Had Mr.. Bryan addressed
the delegation OF working people he would
have said that our wage-earners do not
want protection against the pauper labor
of other countries, but that they do want
Mexico's monetary system, which is sill
yer monometallism without waiting for
the consent of any other Nation"

"Uncle Coils selfish eh? Why, the philos-

and the conversation somehow drifted to a
discussion as to what is the philosophy of life.
Ihey talked and they talked and each one
presented some of the old theories, but all
agreed that they had not heard satisfactory

by the Nebraska Democratic sliverites:
Altgeid, Bland, Tillman and the other
radical silverites approved of Bryan's at
tack upon Boies, which made the combi-
nation of the ultras against him very
formidable. MIR. Boies was, In fact,
dropped from the list of advocates OF
"free silver coinage OF dollars without
limit or BUST and he received no invita-
tions to address free-siIver gatherings in
other States. He was not sound enough
on the unsound money question to COM
mend him to the Bryan wing of the Demo-
cratic party, and he was too unsound on
the sound money question to be trusted
by the Bourbon wing of the Democratic
party.
The next sin Mr.. Boies committed was
in suggesting that ''the party should not
be committed irrevocably to silver coin
age at 16 to L. for that ratio ''might prove
destructive OF the present parity between
gold and silver" and, if SO, that
ratio should be abandoned and another
adopted" But, perhaps. the greatest sin
Mr.. Boies committed and which exasper-
ated Altgeld to higher pitch OF frenzy
than either of the other sins was condemn
ing the destruction of property by the
Chicago rioters. Mr.. Boles does not give
his young lady friend to understand that
he is at all sorry for committing the three
sins, but, rather, that he would like an
opportunity to commit them again. 1t is
very evident that the defeated Iowan has
no use for the Chicago platform, nor for
any one who would indorse il, and were it
not that Mr.. Boies is such vacillating,
reeling and inconstant sort of politician
he could do great deal of good for his
State by returning to the party he aban-
doned for Democratic promises and stump
Iowa for Major Mckinley; and he may do
it, or, at least, he is likely to do good
deal of damage to Bryan.

THE SUNDAY CALL

Among many other attractive features
there will be discussed in the columns of
THE SUNDAY CALL the question: "Can
Trouble Be Killed by Suicide?" This is
not presented as new issue. It is as old
as mankind, but there is no more i'm
portant, no more fascinating, no more
sensational question before the people to-
day-nor will there ever be. 1t involves
the question of the human soul, the ques-
ton of hereafter-the one question in the
world that at one time or another racks
the heart OF every man and demands an
answer. You will find that THE SUNDAY
CALL will at least present the symposium
in new manner. The opinions expressed
will be brief and to the point, and reasons
for and against the justification of suicide
will be given by thinking men and
women. You will not find this dry
page of THE SUNDAY CALL. But if you
should--well, there are others, many
others, and each one Of them contains
several bright things, strange things,
things of human interest, picturesque
things and good literature. Following is
a partial list of good things to be found in

slNNED THREE TIMES.

Horace Boies is the champion political
letter-writer. He writes in season and
out of season, but he generally says some
thing worth thinking about. albeit he is
nearly always on the wrong side of the
question he discusses. His latest epis-
toiary effort is to the young lady who
made herself unduly conspicuous at the
Chicago convention by shouting for the
Iowa candidate, and he tells her how it
was that the convention turned him down.
Mr.. Boies tells the young lady that he had
sinned three times against AItgeld, Bryan
and company. He went into the race for
the nomination under the condemnation
of the bosses and, of course, was handi-
capped by them.
Mr.. Boies' first offense was committed
in a speech before the Jackson Club of
Omaha in March, 1896, when he suggested
that there should be limitations as to the
legal tender of silver. For that attack
upon Bryan's plan for an unlimited vol
ume of silver coinage, war was lmmedi-
ately declared against the Iowa statesman

he does indorse, and who has SO little respect
for the would'be Arnolds and so much con-
tempt for US poor betrayed dupes that he does
not consider 1t worth his time to even recog-
nize the honor ~ bestowed.

MONETARY FACTS.

"Popocrats'' is the name that has been
given to the Democratic-Populist com.
bine, and q very good name 1t is. too.
Well. the Popocrats are unfortunate in
making the free coinage OF silver In any
event the paramount issue. The coun-
tries which they expected to ''polnt
with as substantiating their claim that
all a country has to do to make silver
dollars is to go 10 work and make them
are turning States evidence very fast.
Mr.. Bryan more especially has been calling
attention to the prevalence of silver as the
standard of value in South America to
show how easy it is for Government to
do as it pleases in the matter of issuing or
coming money; but somehow his South
American witnesses are testifying the
other way.
To be sure the South American States
are not tumbling over one another in their
haste to adopt the monetary system Of the
United States, but they are doing it very
fast. Quite recently the Republics of
Chile, Venezuela, Salvador, Costa Rica I,
San Domingo and British Honduras have
abandoned free silver coinage and estab.
iished their money system on the basis
of gold as the ultimate redemption money,
exactly as it is done in this country. These
republics expect. however, to become
parties to an international monetary con-
gress to establish an international stand.
ard of gold and silver money, but, mean
while, they will make no further effort to
establish bimetallism independent of the
other commercial nations.
This leaves China, japan, Mexico and
India as the only important free-silver
countries. Russia is still on a silver basis.
but the Government is getting ready as
fast as possible to revamp the system,
somewhat on the lines of our own. In ad-
dition to the six South American republics
which have just changed the basis of their
money issues, France, Holland. Switzer-
land, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, Germany,
England and Austria Hungary are making
the yellow metal the standard money, and,
with the single exception of England,
every one of them is anxious to join with
the United States in establishing BIZ
metallic standard OF value.
In this connection the significant fact
appears that in the so-called "gold coun-
tries" silver is used for money in larger
quantities than in the strictly silver coun-
tries, as the following table shows:

The State of Utah is either trying to work up
little scheme against the goldbugs of Wall

ceding from the Republiean party, because of
its adoption of gold standard, Utah issues an
official circular calling for proposals for State

bonds, payable in United States gold coin. 1t
would be interesting to know just what Utah
meant by this Did she forgetth position she

Well, 1t is odd, but we do miss that dear old

years of toll and struggle it was ever before us,
ready to give and take hard blows. We never
knew how much we loved it. No doubt it still
claims to be i'll the fray and to cry, clay on"
But we cannot feel SO. The party which nomi-
mated Bryan at Chicago did not come away
with the old front. 1t went in the same dear
old foe, but it came out transformed, changed,
etherealized. disguised. We haven't seen a
familiar feature since. We say 1t in sorrow.
We feel sense of loss.
