CoNsrANTINoPLE, Sept. 15.-Though the present situation here is undoubt- edlv of the gravest character, it is now believed that the powers will not take any action until after the approaching visit of the czar of Russia to England. According to the palace officials Sir Philip Currie, the British ambassador
 in an audience with the sultan last Friday, convinced the sultan that the feeling against him in Great Britain was more intense than he or his advis- CTS had realized, and it was intimated to him that Great Britain, in certain eventualities. might be compelled to take action independent of other pow CTS in preventing further disturbanc here.

What Free and Unlimited Coinage of Sill
yer Means.
Some OF the silverites are arguing
that if a man could get 1929 al
the mint for his silver bullion, as they
assume he could under free and I'M
limited coinage as advocated by them
nobody would sell it for any less, and,
of course that would raise the price
to $1.29 per ounce. If their premises
were true the conclusion could hardly
fail to follow. But the premises are
as tlimsy as a morning mist. The
government will not buy any silver
under the free coinage plan. All it
will do will be to divide the silver
into Jumps of All! grains of standard
silver and stamp it into the proper
form and with the proper dies to GER
tify its weight and tineness. The
bullion owner gets the weight in sill
yer dollars to which his bullion en-
titles, no more. The government
stamp, then, will have no effect upon
| the value of bullion in that dollar.
Now the government, by law, is bound
| to make the silver dollar worth as
much as a gold dollar. Then it will
not be under any obligations in rela-
ton to it in any way. Is he a wise
man who believes that a prepOnder-
ance of the ayes in the two houses
of Congress and the signature of the
President alone will double the
bullion value of all the silver in the
world? Is there anything that looks
like common sense in such PROPOSE
ton? That is eXactlya fair statement
of the free silver position in its inevi-
table consequence. 1t is impossible
that any other effect should follow
The government will not stamp it a
dollar in value. 1t will simply certify
to its weight aud fineness. If it un-
dertook to make its value equal to
that of gold dollar, how long could
it maintain it? The gold reserve
would disappear like a flash. Where
would the government get the gold to
make all the silver good?
But the free silverites do not seem
to have any very clear ideas as to
what they want or what is going to
happen if they get what they want.
Mr.. Bryan, when confronted with the
statement that free coinage will re-
duce the value of tthe dollar says, in
substance, well, we want a cheaper
dollar" When, on the other hand,
when he hears it charged that the
dollar will be worth only tifty-three
cents he replies, "Silver will at once
go to $1.29 per ounce and stay there"
Which is which?-Keyser Echo.

A Timely Warning.

Archbishop Ireland has thrown Il
bumbshell into the Bryan camp
which may cause regular stampede
among a large class of his adherents.
He assumes the full responsibility
that attaches to a prelate, who steps
down from his ecclesiastical platform,
and enters the arena of politics for
the purpose of procuring the election
of one set of candidates, and the de
feat of another set, and he wants it
understood at the outset that the tell
ing letter which he has thrown into
the campaign was written in his
character of citizen, and not of pastor.
ITO be silent when words of mine
may be of some profit to the people,
would be would be crime, =
says Archbishop Ireland.
In further justification of his course
the Archbishop says there are occa-
sions when a political platform means
disaster TO the country; when politics
are closely connected with morals, OF
religion, and at these times the
churchman must be a patriot without
allowing a moments thought to con
siderations of eXpediency, and must
take in hand the moral, or religious
issue even if it be vested in the garb
Of politics.
The declaration of the Chicago
platform against the interference of
the Federal authorities in a crisis
such as was caused by the riots in
that city in 1898, the Archbishop re-
CARDS, as embodying the old idea of
secession which was supposed to have
persisted at AppomattOX; and the
threat against the Supreme Court is
of the same character. Worse than
all, the spirit of Socialism that per
meates the whole movement, is a
menace to civilized society. The
torches that are now being placed in
the hands of these wild agitators by
INSCRIPTIONS politicians, may some
day be used to light the fires of a
Commune" in America.
The archbishop has seen something
of these people and he is afraid of

was sectional issue, but l fear Till
man was right.
Why talk of the dollar of the Con
stitution. They might as well talk
of the dollar of the Presbyterian
church. 1t is a humbug, and if we
are to be tricked out of the presidency
and into the mOrass of financial de-
struction, those who are responsible
will be called at last to a terrible ret
ribution. Bryan is nothing else than
the commercial traveller of the silver
mine owners in the West There is
the money power, and it is behind
Bryan.

Kicking Against the Pricks.

There is no doubt of the forceful
and magnetic quality of Mr.. Bryan on
the stump. He has a wonderful facil-
ity for making things appear what
they are not. He can, as the Irish
say, talk a bird off a BUSH But
who can contend successfully against
facts? Mr.. Bryan would have us be-
lieve that depreciating prices are due
to deprecated silver and appreciated
gold. He has been harping on this
theme ever since he was nominated.
But the markets give him the lie.
The following figures showing the
course of prices are more eloquent
than a hundred Bryans:

Wheat and Silver.

The price of wheat again advanced
per cent. per bushel Tuesday and
touched the highest figures that have
been recorded during the present crop
year. Prices are now 10 to IA cents
above the lowest July quotations, and
as it costs at least twice as much to
carry the grain across the ocean as it
did threemonths ago the foreign buy
ers are paying about 20 cents per
bushel more for wheat than they did
when the crop year opened. The re-
verse movement of silver prices while
the price of wheat has been going up
should convince every reasonable
man of the absurdity of the silverite
contention that the value of wheat,
or of any other commodity, is con
trolled by the price of the white metal
If such had been the case the market
for wheat would have gone down,
not up.
The rise in wheat prices is per-
fectly natural result of the working
of the law of supply and demand.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1896-10-15

Usual sources of European supply
having been cut off or greatly
curtailed, foreign importers have
been obliged to buy more freely
in the United States; and the increas-
ed demand has put up prices. That
is all the the reason for the advances;
but it is enough to stagger the faith
of the most purblind advocate of free
silver coinage to have his favorite
theory about the influence of silver so
completely exploded at a most critical
iuncture in the crusade against the
gold standard.
