ton under consideration.

WIN. Mckinley for President.


Two weeks ago we expressed our senti-
ment for Mckinley for president, and the
editor asked, "What is the matter with
Thomas B. Reed?" l am not faulting
Thomas b. Reed. He is great states
man. But the only result his candidacy
can have, in my opinion, is to help Tom
Plat and Matt Quay defeat Mckinley. If
Mckinley is such statesman as is worthy
to hold the high office of president, it
seems to me the people of Vermont should
stand by him, and believe the large ma
jority of the people of Vermont are for
the Ohio statesman. The political man
ayers will be very unwise if they send del
egates to ST. Louis in any way pledged to
Reed, and do not believe the people will
let them. Vermont, small as she is in
area and population, has welded great
power in the councils of the nation and in
political conventions by reason of the great
ability and wisdom of the men we have
placed there. We are not degenerating,
but intend to continue in the forefront of
wise and judicious action.

England.
The agricultural interest represents OF
course the ola Tory element in English
politics. 1t is remarkable that the Lanca-
shlre cotton spinners, whom l have men
loned as their allies in this matter, are
the oldest and strongest opponents of the
landed arlstocracy. They are the classes
OF whom Golden was the spokesman, aud
they have been the backbone of the Liberal
party since the reform OF 1882. The third
class, the garrison and civil employees In
India, drawn as they are from every class,
and, III the case of the civil employees, rep
Tesenting the best-tested intelligence OF
England, permeates the English electorate
both above and below.
1t must not be understood that these
three classes have vet attained anything
like q control of English public opinion,
but have quoted them as forming the
three prominent exceptions to the English
opinion in favor of gold monometallism.
In the case of the Lancashire cotton spin
ners, they are q class whose importance
Will continue to increase.
In q recent course of lectures that de-
livered in Oldham, Lancashire, to
purely artisan audiences, [ found them
well aware of the dangers in which they
stood from Indian competition, and almost
as ready as theiremployers to seek solu-
ton in bimetallic agreement.
All interests of the parties above men

OF London, the whole of the banking

have an effect not very different from the
depreciation OF the currency.
L cannot see how you could avoid the
action of "Greshams law" and the
gradual exhaustion of gold even if you
were to confne its action to the American
product, which l should imagine to be ex
tremely difficult in the face of the ease
with which an article of such small bulk
could be smuggled. 1t appears to me that
the enormously increased activity of the
silver mines would necessarily keep the
ratio of 16 TO l an artificial one far above
the market value of silver.
