his side of the case was beyond the need

WILL HARDLY WORK.

The southern Pops are sore and in a
strait. They hate the very name Of
Democrat But the scheme to pre-
serve the autonomy of the Pop party
by a double geared ticket will not
work. The Pop party must stand out
against the Chicago convention, its
platform, nominee and name by putting
a middle of the road" ticket in the
field, or otherwise the Pop party is no
more. Besides the scheme TO divide
the electors between the Democrats
and PopuliSts in the several states and
combine them on the candidate carry
ing the largest number of votes does
not meet Nominee Bryan's approval.
He is reported as saying that under no
circumstances will he consent to any
such arrangement The electors" he
declares, must all be Democrats
named by the Democratic organization
in the several states" That is certain
ly a rational, busineSS-like view of il.
There is no warrant in the constitu-
ton or in common sense for a double
barreled electoral ticket "aimed to hit
if it is a bear and miss If it is a calf"
Each voter would take as it were. an
option at the polls without knowing for
which ticket his vote is finally to be
counted. Every man has a right to
vote for whom he pleases and TO have
his vote counted as cast, but he has no
right to introduce the iugglery of the
pool room into the ballot box.

sSdtary silver money" 1t was not the
purpose OF the union to absorb any certain
amount of silver into circulation as stan-
dard money Silver was stin too valuable
to make that a question But II was a
question how to get subsidiary silver into
circulation. The treaty established the
uniformity of coins. the gold being loo

fractional silver was but SS5-io0 pure, as
against 10000, the standard of the unin
The fractional silver was limited 10
francs per capita, and mas made legal
tender between individuals to 80 francs.
The treaty was finally ratified August,
1856
1t is worth noting by those who claim
that law makes values in money, why
this difference in the standard OF sub
sidiary silver. Why was il necessary to
have less silver in the fractional silver, ex-
that silver VIII not come into the mint to
be coined when at any premium? And
how it happens. that II the law fixes the
value either coin could ever get to q
premium?
In 1871 Germany led the way to replace
her silver circulation by gold. The action
OF Germany had more to do with the price
OF silver than an the other nations COM
bined Deducting the amount TO be re-
coined. Germany made net potential sup
ply OF silver for the market of 10000, COO
this represents the amount to be sold.
While on the other hand she demanded

silver expressed in gold had fallen and
the Latin Union limited, by supplement-
ary treaty, the coinage OF the franc piece,
which was the only fun legal tender silver
unit. The limit for France in 1875 was
less than 81. 10000 per annunl- but before
the end of the year the Union had sus-
