DEFIES EASTERN GOLD BUGS.
The secret of AIeKinley's popularity
is perhaps correctly told in the follow
ing from the Cincinnati Enquirer,
which, though Democratic, evidently
desires TO be fair with it's own states
popular son. Under the head of Nc
Kinley's Strength it says.
There are several ways of accounting
for the great strength of the Hon. VIII
liam Mckinley for the Republican nom
ination for president. He has mainly
come into notice as a champion of pro-
tective tariff; but that question now be-
ing secondary, it can be considered only
a partial reason for his advancement
Those whose political action is prompt
ed by impulse and emotion may believe
that he is the advance agent of pros
perity, and that his elevation to the
presidency would bring happiness to
the '.tin-bucket brigades" but people Of
either party who think a little do not
expect the magic Of anybody's name to
conjure away hard times.
Mckinley is a most prominent candi-
date in spite of, rather than in conse-
quence Of his tariff record. He is a
popular man who has seen a good deal
of public life without scandal He has
been talked about for president for
good many years. He has been put in
the position, two or three times, of re-
polling the nomination for president
through generosity and fidelity to 9TH
ers. He has been marked as q man
whose turn must come, and who de-
serves much for patient waiting. His
character is high. He is fetching in his
personality. lie is q sympathetic and
seductive orator. He was a young sol
der during the civil war. and COM
mends himself to citizens of patriotic
spirit. He has a popularity that is MOI
easy to describe. He reaps rich bene~
fit from spontaneous sentiment. In his
speeches he holds a very large element
of the community, and satisfies them
that he is the true expounder OF govern
ment, though at the same time he may
be avoiding. with the skillful use of
language, the propositions that are VIZ
tai and embarrassing. His hold on the
Republicans of his own state, in spite
been against him. takes him out Of the
ordinary rules and limitations of poll
tics. and makes him almost a phenOne-
non. He is able to defy the demand of
the party leaders and directors in the
east that ne shan speak out on the sill
Yer question, and go right on winninS
delegates. and even making inroads in
New York. Pennsylvania and New Eng
land. He is able to ride hobby that
may cut no considerable figure in the
coming campaign with grace and effect.
The great majority of the Republ-
cans seem to want Mckinley simply be-
cause he is Mckinley.

DOES COINAGE AFFECT VALUE?
cit ought to be a mere trueism to say
that coinage does not and cannot effect
value; that it simply certifes the quail
ity and quantity of a certain piece Of
property, for the Information and con
vemience Of that world of trade whose
use and mutual agreement alone estab-
fishes the value Of the property SO GER
titled. Coinage does not make copper
silver nor silver gold, nor does it make
two grains Of one. nor affect in the
least degree the rate of their exchange
for each other in the open market"
says the paper called Sound Currency.
Each issue Of the periodical which is
sent out twice a month from William
street. New York. has on its front page
a text embodying some much casuisty
as is contained in the foregoing In
making the statement that coinage cam
not affect value the intention plainly is,
to mislead. 1t VIII be noticed that it is
not claimed that it does not affect
prices.
lit is true that a piece of metal is no
more valuable after it is coined than
before but in the case of silver it viii
buy more. The bullion price Of a metal
may easily be less than its coinage
price; it is never more
There was a time when the bullion
price of silver was above its coinage
price in the United States but it was
governed by the coinage price in
France just as the coinage price Of gold
is fixed by England The so-caned
precious metals like any other COM
modify always seek the best market.
If the United States should make a
law providing for purchase and coin
age Of gold bullion at the rate Of 20
grains to the dollar instead Of % is
as at present, not only would no more
gold so out but gold would come in un-
til prices of other commodities had be-
come adjusted to the new order.
So it will be seen that coinage fixes
the price of a metal and We're there no
debts. it would matter little how often
the price was changed beyond slight
unsettlement Of business The fnan-
cial agitation which is continually GO
ing forward arises from the fact that
by a change i'm the coinage laws one
metal has been denied the right of
coinage, thus doubling the demand and
thereby the price of the other. The
stamp on the gold dollar has not been
changed but the metal in it has been
rendered more valuable as a purchas-
ing agent.
Debts, however. remain payable in
these dollars and while it takes no more
of them to pay debt than formerly, it
takes much more of everything
which must be exchanged for dollars.
This is the source of the trouble. Even
this might end in time if present con-
ditions should continue But under a
gold standard the purchasing power OF
gold even goes higher and as an inevl-
table consequence the price Of every
thing else continues to decline, SO that
the man who contracts a debt today,
payable in five years viii find himself
compelled to pay in dearer dollars than
he borrowed just as the man does now,
who made a loan five years ago And
so it viii ever be as long as the country
remains on a gold basis.

BAD FOR KANSAS NOW.
Though the State Election May Prove
 a Blessing in Disguise.

A prominent delegate to the irriGa- tion congress is MT. P. I. Bonebrake of Topeka, Kansas Mir BoneDrake is president of the Central National bank of Topeka and has a wide reputation as a far-seeing inancier. He said yes terday to a Republican reporter that the result of the election in Kansas had been disastrous in that it had given foreign capital fresh reason for keeping out of the state. MT. Bone brake, while strong Republican, is not a pessimist by any means.
 While the Populists will have con trol of the state government" he said, "and constitute threat by reason of their known radicalism, they say they will not go to extremes and we can do nothing but watch and wait. Kansas has great natural resources and the withdrawal of outside support may, through forcing her to stand alone, prove a blessing in disguise. We are hoping for the best"
