CAPITAL

"A good shibboleth, said Ralph Wal
do Emerson, lis a missionary to per-
suade thousands" Much more fetching
than anything worked off by Bourke
Cochran in his alleged answer to Mr..
Bryan's mastery speech of acceptance
was Thomas b. Reeds oracular deliv-
erance that what this country wants is
not more money. but more capital" This
phrase sounds mighty well and is re-
peated with sage mods Of satisfaction by
those who do not analyze it, but imag-
inc it must be a staggering body blow
to the free silver propagandists.
Come, let US see If Mr.
Reed has not thrown boom
erang. What is capital? All the
political economists agree that it is
wealth engaged in production. Now, it
Is precisely the complaint of those who
demand bimetallism that there is no
disposition on the part of wealth to en-
gage in productive enterprise, and they
attribute this indisposition of money to
become capital" to our persistence in
hanging on to the gold unit as meas
ure of values. When money grows au-
tomatically-as gold does-and prices
are falling, men prefer to avoid the risks
Of investment. Men will not borrow
money who are persuaded that they can
Only repay it by the production of more
commodities than the money will buy
at the time Of efecting the loan. Holders
Of gold will rather buy bonds or other
eilt-edged securities than branch out
into speculative enterprises on de-
clining market. When money breeds
faster locked up than it can do in ac-
tive industry, there is something wrong.
when money is worth more than
things. it is too valuable If a check is
given to the appreciation of gold, Mr.
Reed will find plenty Of capital' and d

A PLEA FOR TOLERANCE

II is with pleasure that decided I'M
movement may be noticed in the tone
of the references to Mr. Bryan recently
appearing in the Republican press-with
tie notorious exception of one tnsignif-
cant hoodoo-not that coarse abuse or
baseicss charges are likely to injurious
ly affect his candidacy, but because 1t is
evidence of a public sentiment opposed
to a campaign of that character. Is
sues are above candidates, and the pub
lie is interested in knowing which party
gives the greater promise of accom-
plishing a restoration of prosperity by
the enactment into legislation of its de-
clarcd principles Republicans, with Il
few exceptions. are fully aware that Mr..
BRYAN is a man of marked ability ana
spotless integrity. No well-informed
Democrat will deny that Mr.. Mckinney
has an honorable record as soldier, or
that he is a model husband and an ami
able gentleman.
The paramount issue of the campaign
will not be determined by the bandying
of epithets Even the Chinese have
abandoned the throwing of stinkpots
as mode OF warfare. lntellSellt ilell
of each party recognize that other par
ties. like their own. will be directed and
largely controlled by those who are hon

fare of their country. Our soil Will be

only the ignorant have their prejudices
excited into that degree of intolerance
which causes them TO dread the triumph
of their opponents as the end of the re-
public.
We repeat that we observe with pleas
ure the altered tone of the Republican
press. its more courteous reference to
Mr. Bryan, and its discussion of issues
instead of abuse of candidates. BY the
result of a calm, dispassionate consid-
Grafton of the questions of the day we
