Chinese silver Coin.

From the NJ Y. Commercial Advertiser.
There is an instructive statement from
the Chinese viceroy, Ii Hung Chang. In
to-day's papers. He was asked to give his
views Of the silver controversy. This is
his reply:
II look at It from a Chinese standpoint.
II q silver president Is elected in the Unit
ed States It will benefit China in that it
will enhance the value of Chinese silver
dollars; in a like manner, of course, it will
benefit all the great silver nations"
If silver president is elected. 1t will not
only benefit China, but every other silver
nation, and it will at once degrade the
United States to the level Of China and
Mexico. Fortunately our people are not
apt to view the subject from q Chinese
standpoint" We doubt If any voter in
these United States is anxious to take part
in what may be termed Chinaizing this
government A civilization" that de-
grades Its workingmen to the standard Of
the Chinese laborer and pays them for
their services what Is equivalent In our
money to few cents per day 10 not very
much to brag about.

THEosOPHY IN KANSAS CITY.

Amid all the excitement of a presidential
campaign it is gratifying to learn that
Kansas City's Theoscphists remain tranquil
and unmoved. The brass band and the
kerosene torch have no charms for these
seekers after knowledge Of the unknowable.
and it Is said that many of the members of
this esoteric sect preferred to remain at
home absorbed In their well thumbed copies
of the Rig Veda to turning out and listen
ing to Mr.. Bryan on the occasion Of his
recent recitation In this city. This speaks
whom nirvana would be blessed boon
compared to the unpatriotic noise Of the
boy orator on his B fiat silver cofnet. There
is going to be much activity in local The
osophic circles this season. and II any
thing can be found out about the mys-
terious and shadowy future the Kansas
City sases are going to find 1t. We have
lots Of citizens who know the ve1as by
heart and can spin OF sentences from the
Yajur veda in a manner that would be a
caution to Gautama Buddha himself and
when 1t comes to the upandshads. or books
of wisdom. and especially the Chhandogya
upanishad. they're right in 1t. to uee a
secular expression mot found in the
Bhagavad Gtta.
What comfort It is for Theosophists to
withdraw from the hustle and excitement
of life to mediate upon those dim vedic
times of six or seven Thousand years ago
and t. rsam of karma and reincarnation;
to study the Dhar maeastras and especial
ly the Yajnavalkya- BY this means they
get far away from 16 to 1. and the street
corner hnancier Is to them as II he were
not. Their minds are SO completely with
drawn from the cares of this work-a-day
world that many Theosophist cannot find
time to cut the weeds In the back yard or
relieve his wife of the cares Of the baby
for a brief time. Such matters are trivial
compared to the divine essence of things
which he seeks with ever increasing ardor.
By reason Of the proximity of the great
packing houses, Kansas City Theosophists
are much interested in the doctrine of
metempsychosis. tenet held by all true
followers of Buddha. 1t Is worth years of
study to learn, If possible, whether ones
ultimate destination is the sausage mill,
after his career in the human form is
brought to a close on this mundane sphere;
and this is one of the first things the
philosophers of the Gate city seek to yank
out Of the depths.

Those phenomenal majorities in New En-

publican, standing by his party's candi-

ciples are in full harmony with the Re-
publican national and state platforms. and
his standing as citizen and business man

TWO KINDS OF DOLLARS.

Is there any money too good for the labor
ing man? Mr. Bryan says yes. He de-
clares that money can be too good. and
therefore 1t must be better than the wage
Garner deserves. Mr.. Mckinley says a
dollar should be as honest as the work.
mans toll. equivalent In value to the labor
he gives for it. Mr.. Bryan advances cer-
tain vague propositions which he says he
believes" will come to pass with free
coinage of silver. One of these PROPOSE
tions is that the silver bullion of the West
ern mine owner. now worth little over so
cents an ounce, will advance to 3l.29 an
ounce. Another proposition, of the truth
of which he Is pretty sure, is that the
necessaries Of life will advance. Bacon.
-four. sugar. etc, will go up, so that the
wage-earner's living will be higher In pro-
portion as the dollar he earns is inferior
In value.
In none Of his speeches has Mr.. Bryan
given a practical explanation of how the
wage-earner is going to earn more dollars
than he does at the present time He
holds out dim promises of good times under
d UOOu OI uepTcCldtcu HiOuSys uut tuey dEc
as deceptive as the ignis fatuus. The only
dollar that is worth having is the 1oo-cent
dollar. As Mr.. Mckinley says, that kind
of dollar never made hard times. The
best thing to do is to keep hands OFF the
currency and let well enough alone. Un-
der the present standard, which Bryan af-
fects to think Is such a hideous thing, a
dollar purchases more for the man who
earns 1t than ever before, whether 1t is
groceries for the workingman's family or
calico or silks for his wife. When a man
makes dollar these days he knows just
what It Is; he Is sure of its reliability; 1t
is "as good as gold"
The positions Of the Republican and
Bryan parties on the money question are
these: The former believes in the. best
money obtainable; the same kind of money
for the laboring man as the millionaire.
The latter contends for cheap money.
necessarily OF a huctuating character; up
one day and down the next, and never
worth 100 cents on the dollar. These two
propositions are easily comprehended and
no one should hesitate between them.

The workinxman's Own Questions.

From the New York World.
All the candidates for Office and their
stump speakers are asking questions of
the workingman. Before making up his
mind how to vote the workinEman will do
we'll to ask questions of himself. to-wit:
Does the present 1O0-cent dollar buy too
much food. clothing and family supplies
for my advantage? Do l want Its purchas-
ing power diminished?
What assurance have I that my wages
will be advanced to correspond with the
increase Of prices which the free-silver
orators say is necessary to give the coun-
try boom?
Can I mark up my wages as fast or as
easily as the grocer or merchant can mark
up his prices?
What compensation can there be for me
in giving the silver mine owners free coin
age for their bullion II my wages will buy
less and my savings are legally made pay
able in Scent dollars? where do come
in?"
How will 1t help me to hurt Rockefeller.
Gould. Sage. Pierpont Morgan or even
Carnegie and Pullman? Can't the "money
kings" stand a panic and more business
depression better than can?
Is the best dollar in the world too good
for me or for any workingman?
Am the fool that the Populist cranks
and free silver orators take me to be?
The workingman who is capable Of ask
ing himself practical questions like these
and giving sensible answers is in no danger
of voting to clip his dollar or scale down
his savings.

Who the "GoldbuEs'' Are.
.cm the Chicago Tribune.


Mr.Bryan is referring to the "conspir-
acy of the goldbugs and plutocrats" with
such persistence. and the public mind is so
much In doubt as to the exact personality
of these modern types of Croesus. that the
enlightenment furnished by a Chicago firm
which deals exclusively in local mortgages
as to the identity of these local bugs" Is
timely and instructive. The conscience
less syndicates of Wall street and En-
gland and all other forms of ''plutocratic
Shylocks." who. as Mr. Bryan informs us.
hold the gold of the world and are corner
ing 1t ruthlessly. appear under somewhat
strange forms In Chicago. Out Of $624, ,45O
worth Of mortgages made during the hard
times of this summer the most numerous
investors have been nineteen widows
and twenty "other women" As Mr.. Bry-
ans chivalry undoubtedly would forbid his
applying any of his stock epithets to them.
1t would be interesting to ascertain how he
would class them in his category Of fanat-
icism.
Next come in the list thirteen estates -
eleven merchants. ten clergymen and
smaller numbers Of merchants. clerks. doc
tors, small investors savings" educa-
tionai institutions, benevolent societies,
hospitals. farmers. coachman. lake
captain, stenographer. and authors. That
practically completes the list.
Where are the Shylocks? Who are the
dangerous plutocrats? What Of the base
syndicates? OF course they do not exist
when the facts are produced. 1t Is the
same with all the h-plutocrats rawlings.
He says anything that can be expressed in
words or noise, trusting no doubt that the
corrections may not reach as far as his
misstatements.
The "goldbugs," dangerous syndicates
of England and Wall street." "Shylocks.
and all the others represented by his cpl
