THE MEXICAN DOLLAR AS A TER
RIBLE EXAMPLE.

The Mexican dollar is being used
during the present campaign as the
terrible example. 1t is being paid to
the employees of various concerns as
mere bullion, they being told that I'M
der free coinage the American silver
dollar would only pass for what it is
worth as bullion, which at the present
price of silver in the market is about
fifty-two cents.
Up in Augusta, Lewiston, Portland,
Bangor and Rockland, Me, a number
of stores determined to give their en-
ployees an object lesson in free silver
and paid them partly in Mexican dol
lars Accompanying the dollars was a
letter which ran as follows:
To our Employees: The company
pays your wages this week in Mexican
silver dollars. We bought them in the
open market at a cost of 90 cents each
We pay them to you at the rate of
two for one of United States money
When you come to pay your bills with
these dollars you will have a good il
lustration of the real value and actual
purchasing power of the 420 grains of
silver contained therein.
The United States silver dollar con-
tains Ape grains of silver, which is
worth, when melted into bullion, a
fraction less than so cents. Our silver
friends propose to allow the whole
world to bring its silver to the United
States mint, have it coined free of
charge into pieces of 1922 grains each
stamped "one dollar TN God We
Trust" and make them a legal tender
for all debts, public and private They
claim that what this country needs is
a, rise in prices. If this plan prevails
there is likely to be one. How long do
you think the purchasing power of such
a dollar would be greater than its &C
tual value: how long before it would
drive all other money out of circula-
ton? Will wages and salaries rise as
fast and as much in proportion as the
things that have to be purchased with
them?
Have YOU any money on deposit in
savings bank? If SO, you will be paid
in silver, if that becomes the standard
of value If you hold life insurance
policy or membership in some benefit
association, do you wish your family
to receive the amount thereof in so
cent dollars? 1t rests with you and
the other people of the United States
to determine at the coming national
election whether the present gold
standard of value shall be maintained
and the dollar which you receive be
worth 100 cents ali over the world, or
whether we shall enter upon a career
of folly, reputation and dishonesty, the
disastrous and ruinous consequences of
which cannot now be foretold.

TAKING THE STUMP.

1t has been announced that Major
Mckinley will not take the stump, but
that what speaking he does will be in
response to addresses by delegations
that may call upon him at his home
in Canton. These responses barely
touch upon the issues of the day, and
where they do it is in the very lightess
manner passing them by so soon as
possible. The only argument in favor
of a presidential candidate not taking
the stump is long custom; but the
time during which custom has OBJ
tanned is not always an evidence that
it is a good one.
Mr. Bryan has taken the stump and
is discussing the issues of the cam
paign. Why should he not? If he is
elected the people will know exactly
where he stands. Not so with Major Nc
Kinley if he is elected. Every man who is
supporting him would be glad to know
whether or not, in case a free coinage
bill were passed and presented to him
for his signature he would sign it or
veto it. Were he on the stump they
would he pretty certain to know be-
fore the campaign was over. His re-
cord is no guide as to what he would
do, for his record on silver has been
very much like the chameleons color,
SO far as consistency is concerned.
common criticism of our national
conventions is that too often they seek
out a man who is comparatively I'M
known and who has no record.
negative man. The object is to secure
a candidate who has never been posi-
tive enough to have had any opinions.
on any subject that could by any pos
sibility offend any one. Keeping
presidential candidates off the stump
is but a continuation of this same
cowardly policy. No candidate should
desire to conceal his opinions upon
those questions which the people to
whom he is appealing are discussing
and trying to make up their minds as
to what is proper for them to do. 1t
is their right to know them, too. How
can they learn them any better than by
a candidate discussing from the stump
the very questions which they them
selves are discussing?
1t is for the Republican national
committee tc say what is the proper
course for Major Mckinley in this mat
ter, but we feel certain that the Demo-
cratic national committee has made no
mistake in having Mr.. Bryan take the
stump. 1t shows that he is fearless
and ready to meet the issues of the
day; that he is a positive man and not
negative; and the American people
like a fearless, positive man.

THE RELIGIOUS PRESS AND SILVER

The New York Times thinks that one
of the most singular phases of the
present political crisis" as it calls
the campaign, is the silence of the re-
ligious press. 1t cites a few semi-re-
lgious papers that are outspoken, but
ii says that the really religious papers,
of which there is an immense num-
Der, representing every denomination
and fraction of denomination in the
country, are almost entirely silent;
that they talk about the Armenians,
the Irish land bill, retail clerical Cos
sip. appeal for missions and charities,
discuss hymns, doctrines and worship.
church union and UNCONVENTIONAL RI
valry, but when it come to the ques-
ton of the nations honor, the pros
perity of its homes, the DEVELOPMENT
of its communities, they content them
selves with some Delphic utterance
about the good there is on both sides.
the duty of charity, and the overruling
Providence which has guided the coun-
try in the past and may be relied upon

to keep il in the future. 1t gives sew
eral reasons for this, among them be-
ing that their subscribers are not of
any one political party. and to speak
too strongly for one side might secure
them the ennity of the other, and that
the result would be diminished sub
scription lists and, what is often Of
equal moment, loss of influence for the
church work which they esteem as of
prime importance. But the mos. i'm
portant reason, it thinks, is the feeling
that religion has nothing to do with
politics. Then after long disserta-
ton on religion and politics and the
duty of Mr.. Moody, it closes by say
ing that 1.-The present course is not
merely blunder for the church, it
is a crime against the nation
The Times is a most pronounced adj
vocate of the gold standard, and of
course il thinks that it is the duty of
the religious press and the ministry to
advocate that standard. Surprising the
religious press took up the question of
free silver and the majority came to
the conclusion tndI Tree SltNef was
right from every point of view, and the
single gold standard wrong from every
point of view, what would the Times
say of the majority of the religious
press? Would it be the majoritys duty
to advocate that which it conscien-
tiously believed to be right, or would
it be its duty to advocate what some
body told it was right, but which it
believed to be wrong? There are two
sides to all questions, and the religious
press is as likely to be divided upon
any important political issue as the
secular press is. The religious press
does wisely to let the silver question
alone; for it to take it up would not
advance the cause of religion in the
least.

And you're leaning 'gainst the pewter

That once held Munich beer.

From the land of flowers and rice.
Stands quaint Satsuma potpourri,
With sweet rose leaves and spice.
And dainty Limoges Frenchman,
In Napoleonic hat,
Is smiling from his pedestal,
Upon a Turkish mat
Here's little Wedgewood teapot;
There a candlestick Belleek-
