It has been suggested that the New York

Krag-Jorgenson arm. which has been In

If LINCOLN WERE ALIVE.
From the Washington Post.

From the washington POst.
We think 1t is stretching probabilities
somewhat too far for the opponents or
national banks and bond issues to insist
that, II Lincoln We're alive, he wouhb take
part in their warfare upon what they de-
nominate the 'money power 1t was
during Mr.. Lincolns administration. and
of course, with his sanction, that the
greater part of an enormous bonded debt
was contracted. Is it reasonable to sup
pose that he, If living, would oppose the
issue of bonds to meet deficiencies in rev.
cnue? Is 1t reasonable to suppose that
If he were president, and congress made
appropriations in excess of revenues, ne
would decline to make up the deficit ny
issuing bonds? And what is there In Lin
coins record on which to base the belief
or assertion that, If he were president, he
would decline to strengthen a depleted
gold reserve in order to maintain the ma
tiOnal credit? Where, in all that survives
of the written or spoken words OF Lincoln,
Is there a line or word that justifies the
claim that if he had been president under
the circumstances that surround the
second Cleveland administration when 1t
came in, he would have paid out silver to
meet coin demands in violation of the
pledge to maintain the parity between
gold and silver coins? And what did
Lincoln ever say, write, or do which JUS
titles the claim that, If he were here now.
he would be in favor of the free, unlimited.
and Independent coinage of silver al
ratio almost hundred per cent. above :he
Sullion value of silver? We have given
some attention to the life. character, and
public services of Mr.. Lincoln, but we have
not found anything in his record that in
duces us to believe or suspect that, If he
were participating in this campaign, he
would he against the party which achieved
its first national victory by electing HIM
TO the presidency.

No COMPULSORY r1Oney.

Where compulsion supersedes consent,
security does not lie: where security does
not lie. society as represented by govern
ment loses its purpose: and individual am
hilton and emulation will stop their et-
forts. From q Book Called "The Way
Out"
Here we have in few words a crys-
tallization of the whole argument
against fiat money Of whatever kind.
That money is sound money which does
not need the thou shalt" of statutory
law to compel its acceptance by the
creditor. That money is unsound
money which forces itself into reluctant
hands by virtue of legal tender act.
No American citizen, be his political
beliefs what they may. hesitates to ac-
cept gold money or its equivalent in
discharge of debt Altgeld. Sewall.
Stewart. all the prominent advocates of
fifty-cent unlimited silver dollar COIN
age, require by contract that those who
owe them shall make payment in gold.
Their leases without exception have the
gold clause. The bonds which they
invariably gold bonds. They demand
gold simply because they know that
when they get 1t they get form of
money which will not lose value by
sudden fluctuation in public confidence.
No one has ever heard or read of
sane man expressing distrust of gold
money. There Is no record Of a man
going from one country to another with
gold in his pocket and finding at his
journeys end that his money in the
meantime had fallen so low in public
estimation as to be shorn of it's pur-
chasing or debt-paying value. With
gold. compulsion does not supersede
consent; there is no need of compulsion
at all. The gold as bullion will do quite
as we'll as a medium Of exchange as
the gold stamped by government into
coin.
But how Is 1t with fiat money? The
old state bank scrip was fiat money,
and its value used to vary between the
rising and the setting Of the sun. Con-
federate notes were fiat money, and at
cisS tbhiS - sooN viVosVVV III tHoSe HOlcS
to buy a suit of clothes. The silver
dollar of Mexico is in part fiat money,
and while legal compulsion makes 1t
pay a dollars worth of debt In Mexico.
the moment 1t crosses the Rio Grande,
1t becomes worth in American gold
standard money only the commercial
value Of its smelted bullion. Even in
Mexico prices have risen to meet the
dollars fall, so that If tomorrow silver
should fall fifty per cent, 1t would
take twice as many Mexican dollars to
buy an article Of commerce after the
fall as were required before. This
leaves nobody better OFF; It simply
makes for uncertainty and insecurity
In business.
Do we want currency In the United
States which has to be forced on people
by government flat7 Must compulsion

A Parallel.

Major Handy doesn't take a great
deal of stock in the current assertion
that Bryan's large audiences menace
Mckinley. He remembers a parallel to
Bryan's campaign in the candidacy of
Clement L. Vallandigham for governor
of Ohio.
"In the midst of war;" he writes,
"Vallandigham was a peace candidate.
When nominated he was fugitive in
Canada with price on his head. New
er was there a more audacious stroke
in politics, and its audacity challenged
admiration and staggered opposition.
There was widespread belief through
out the country and even in Ohio that
Vallandigham might win. Fear stirred
the Republicans to unprecedented ex-
ertion, but do what they would the
Democrats seemed to make the most
noise and their meetings We're terrify-
ing in size. John Sherman in his men,
Oirs recalls that on the eve of the cleo
ton Brough, who was the candidate
against Vallandigham, was so i'm
pressed with the magnitude of the
Democratic demonstrations that he re-
duced his estimate Of the Republican
majority in the state to 5000 a figure
recognized IN such q vote to be the
danger line. But when the votes came
to be counted Vallandigham was found
beaten by 100000, the Republican ma
jority being the largest ever known.
So much for noise and big meetings
as signs Of how an election is going" +"
There Is this difference. though be-
tween Vallandighams campaign and
Bryan's. Bryan isn't soaring soul.

BISMARCK'S LETTER.


ROCneSlcF Democrat anu IHToIilCie.
Prince Bismarck has written letter as
scrting his belief in the dcsirability of In
ternational bimetallism, and intimatlg
that as means to that end Americans
ought to try the experiment of Independent
action. Shrewd old prince! His counsel
recalls Artemus Wards willingness to
solve the slavery problem IL it took all his
wifes relations Bismarck Is willing
enough to let other nations burn their fin
gers so long as the fatherlands hands
are safc.--Scranton Tribune.
This comment would be very much to
the point If it were based on an accurate
report of Bismarck's utteranccs. The vet
eran ex-chancellor did not intimate that
the United States fought" to take indc-
pendent action. He asserted that his iu-
dividual predictions were for bimctal-
lism, and expressed a belief that internal
tional agreement might be promoted if the
people of the United States should find
1t compatible with their interests to take
Independent action in the direction of hi
metallism.' This Is not recommended
ton, 1t Is merely cautious suggestion.
However, the remarks of the Scranton
Tribune would come in very pat If any
foreign statesman, whose own country ad-
