THE SAME OLD GAME.

One of the favorite devices of Repub-
lican managers in previous campaigns
was to quote literally from English
papers opinions indicating a hope Of
Democratic success. This was regard
ed as an especially convincing argu-
But these opinions were not sufficient
in quantity to meet the exigencies of
hot contest, and resort was had to
fabrications of editorials In English
papers. 1t used to keep Democratic
papers fairly busy In those days hunt
ing down such forgeries and exposing
them, but exposure in no wise discom-
flied the exposed or discouraged their
efforts to save the country in their pc
cuIiar way and they pursued their ar
tifices with cheerful confidence that the
end fully justified the means.
To US National Democrats 1t is very
amusing to see Republicans now as
busily and zealously hunting down and
mailing the forged extracts from Eng
lish papers put out by the silverites
as we were In the tariff fight in nail
ing theirs There are several Of these,
but that which has given the most con-
Germ is one from the London Financial
News. alleged, at first, to have been
contained in that paper of March 10,
1894. It took gloomy view of the sit
uation in this country and declared
that when "the grip of gold" was re-
leased through the addition of silver
to the vclunle OF money, everything in

ounce of gold equal to sixteen ounces
OF silver in value when it could buy but
fifteen and a half ounces In the mar
kets, how can 1t make sixteen ounces
Of silver buy one ounce of gold when
that ounce OF gold will buy thirty-two
ounces of silver in the markets. IT it
could not lift gold up to silver, how
can it lift silver up to gold?
What Mr.. Bryan proposes govern
ment shall now attempt with silver was
tried for forty years by this govern
ment on gold. The act of 1884 was
just as much decree that one ounce
of gold should be equal in value to
sixteen ounces of silver, measured by
silver, as will be Mr.. Bryan's proposed
decree that sixteen ounces of silver
shall be equivalent in value to one
ounce of gold, measured by gold. Con-
gress today has no power that the
Twenty third congress did not possess.
If that and all succeeding congresses
down to the Forty-second could not
raise the value of gold 2A per cent in
value, how can the Fifty-fifth congress
raise the value of silver 100 per cent?
If the producers of silver then Stunned
the minis because they could get an
ounce. of gold for each fifteen and one
half ounces of their silver, what rea-
son is there to expect that the produc-
er Of gold will now exchange his ounces
of gold, capable of buying thirty-two
ounces of silver, for sixteen ounces? If
silver avoided the minis then because
it could get more for itself elsewhere,
what is there in law or reason or ma
ture to justify a belief that gold will
not now go where it can get the most
for itself? The converse of Mr.. Bryan's
proposition, then, having failed in &C
tual trial, it necessarily follows that his
proposition is unsound and if attempt
ed in practice, will also fail.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-11-02
THEN THE CONVERSE Is TRUE.

If the proposition Of Mr.. Bryan. on
which all his arguments rest and his
candidacy hinges, is true that, If silver
be freely minted at the ratio of sixteen
ounces of silver to one ounce of gold.
silver bullion will be worth S1.29 an
verse Of it must be equally true that,
under like conditions, one ounce of gold
will be equivalent to sixteen ounces of
silver, measured in terms Of silver. If
reaction and, Of the conservation of en-
ergy are also untrue. If his PROPOSE
ton is true now, 1t must always have
been true and viii always be true. For
it rests primarily on the, power of gov
ernment to make values either directly,
as the fiatists insist, or Indirectly, by
opening opportunities, as what we may
call the Opportunities" IN our politics
insist na --q44t.. -.I. .r4sl.s so,--
1t follows then that IL there ever was
time when, In actual effort, gov
eminent attempted to make one ounce
of gold the equivalent, either at the
mints or In the markets, Of sixteen
ounces of silver and succeeded. there is
a foundation of fact for Mr.. Bryan's
proposition. If 1t tried and failed. then
his proposition has nothing more to rest
on than his unsupported belief, and
that belief Is contradicted by the out
come of actual trial and experiment.
If a government could not, by the free
mlntage of both metals. make one

America would take on a new face.
labor and industry would gain new
life." With a keen appreciation of the
value Of the anti-English card in our
politics, the News was made to warn
its readers that free coinage here would
be "inimical and prejudicial to English
manufactures and trade" Various
changes were rung on this article, but
all were attributed to the issue of
March 10.
So effective was this as a silver cam
paign documentethat the Republicans
began to hurt IL down. We have re-
ceived copy of a pamphlet issued by
the sound currency committee of Phila-
delphia which isechief1y interesting as
illustrating how the Republicans hunt
down a forgery Of English editorials.
We are obliged to admit that their
method is much more complete than
were those the. Democrats used when
the Republicans were playing that
game. Each page of the Financial
photography. from the first. with it's
stock market reports, to the last, with
its advertisements. The reader is tri-
umphantly asked to look 1t over and
see if the forged editorial or any Of
its variations are to be found in it.
With the aid Of a magnifying glass of
low power this is possible, and it is
true that the heart-firing editorial is
not there. Then there follows a fac
simile of subsequent issue of that
paper, in which the editor says that
he has read the forgery and that no
such article appeared in his paper of
March 10.
But the post-graduates showed their
training. They changed the date of
the News and asserted that their COM
mittee had copy of that paper Of
April 80, 1894, in which the grip of
gold'' editorial appeared. Very prompt
ly the hunters got on the trail of this
variation and drove it into a hole. The
cable was brought into requisition; an
inquiry was wired to the editor of the
News, If the article repudiated by him
had appeared in that paper on April
30. To this he responded that it had
not; but explained that in the paper
OF that date he had quoted from a
speech made by Senator Cameron, in
which the latter used the words con-
tanned in the grip Of gold'' article,
and on which the News commented
vigorously and adversely Not deferred
by this conclusive mailing" the post
graduates continue disseminating the
Grip of Gold" and have actually got
up Photographic copy Of the News
with the editorial in it. So we have
fine illustration Of two things: the
expertness of Republicans in running
forgeries into the ground and the cute
ness Of the post-graduates in forging.
There is no such clumsy work as their
predecessors did. They find speech
of a sflverite quoted in an English
paper, and make the paper father the
speech. That is as distinct an adj
vance In cuteness of method as their
idea of protection to silver is in logic.

A SNEAK.

The G o b e has received letter ur-
gently opposing the election of Mr.. Nc
Kinley, and asking all workingmen to
support Bryan and Lind at the coming
election. This letter was sent to us
without the writer's signature, but with
request to publish it; the au-
thor Of it, whoever he may be, re-
marking that he is railroad employee
and did not wish to furnish his name.
We take this to be a fair sample Of
some of the dastardly campaign work
that is being done this year. This fellow,
whoever he is, is certainly a sneak, and
we believe him to be worse. We do
not think that in all the long list Of
railroad employees in this city there is
any one so lost to shame that he would
engage in this performance. In the
first place, the writer of an anonymous
letter is always a sneak. He who dare
not append his name to statements
which he wants to put on paper would
better leave them unsaid. In the next
place, this fellow is double-dyed
sneak. because he seeks to create the
false impression that coercion Is being
exercised in this campaign by employ
ers; and he has not even the wit to COW
er his tracks. If he were telling the
truth and were sincere about it, he
communication, to be held in conf
dence. No reputable newspaper ever
fails to keep faith with its correspond
ents. Under no circumstances has the
ton to the G O b e ever been known to
we believe him to be worse. We do
any person save the editor when a re-
quest was made to keep it private.
Finally, if there were any such en-
ploye, and If he even published his
views over his own signature and were
made to suffer for it afterward, he
would but have to make the fact known
to find the whole community rallying to
his support. This is what occurred in
the only case of attempted coercion
that has actually come within any
body's knowledge in this campaign. It
happened in st. Louis, and public opin-
ion flew instantly to the side of the
wronged men and compelled their en-
| ployer to make a public apology and
| give a public guarantee that no such
thing would happen again. Every in
| since of actual coercion woul be
worth thousands Of votes at this juno
| ture That none such are available
proves that none exist. AS for the con-
contemplate creature who writes let
| tiers, such as the one we have referred
/ to, with the knavish idea that he can
commit a crime without being held re-
| sponsible for it, he should understand
| first and last that the public is not
thus to be imposed upon. Every in
tured man can have his say to the pub
! lie through the Gil o e. Every man
who wishes to state case without re-
vealing his identity to the general pub
lie can do so knowing that confidence
will be observed. AS for the sneak, we
have no use for him except to warn the
public against him, and for his anony-
nous communication only waiting
place in the waste basket.
