which they are in a position to take
advantage. while the poor man Is not.
The case is precisely the same with
any of the other persons to whom this
alleged argument refers. 1t Is the mere
outburst of passionate envy and COW
etous desire for the property of others
to which this is intended to appeal. We
do not much blame the people who are
deceived by it, for they have been
taught to reason in this way for
many a year by the Republican party.
1t has said to them, see how the coun-
try has developed and grown rich I'M
der protective system. Therefore,
the more protection you give the richer
we will grow. The imagined connection
did not exist. We developed rapidly,
and our property increased enormous
ly, because we had a new country,
phenomenally rich in resources, where
labor could control such opportunities
as have never been set before 1t in the
history Of the world. We are feeling
the sharp pinch of the unwise exhaus-
ton of part of these resources under
forced pressure and by speculative
methods. But the wise man, the sane
man, the patriotic man who thinks
that there are too many great fortunes
growing up in this country, and too
great a disparity between the rich and
the poor, does not jump at conclusions
and set this down as a crime to be
charged against his pet aversion in
politics. He analyses the rise of these
fortunes; sees how far their accumula-
ton is due to SURPRISING individual
ability; how far to fortunate circum-
stances, like the discovery of a rich
deposit of ore or of Oil, and how far
to governmental favoritism. 1t is this
third element only with which he can
concern himself as voter.
If special privileges have been
given to particular individuals or ag-
gregations of individuals, by which
they could have done otherwise; if they
have been exempted from competition
or have been authorized to crush it
out; If they have not been compelled
to allow to others the same freedom
of trade that they demand for them
selves, then here is crime against the
life of the state itself; one which can
not be dealt with too prompt
iy or too vigorously. That the
gold standard is not chargeable
with these crimes and INSIDE
meanors is obvious enough to anybody.
That the change to silver monometal-
lism would not wipe out the differ
ences of fortune, or make it easier for
any laboring man to procure added
wealth, has been, we think, amply
demonstrated. Therefore, there is no
helpfulness in the argument of the
street car passenger; nothing but
blind striking out against the first
thing that comes in the way; nothing
but the policy of the boy who kicks
the stone against which he has Just
STUDDED his toe-a policy that is sure
to react with deadly effect upon those
who advise and adopt it.

One would imagine that Republican
papers would "sing low about their
money plank of 1892. 1t is a Demo-
Gratis humiliation that the Chicago
plank finds its justification in it. Mr..
Bryan is preaching it's gospel 1t de-
manded the use of gold and silver as
standard" money, under legis-
lative restrictions that will Sc
cure the maintenance of the par
ity," not of the various forms
Of money, but of "the two metals
Then, of course, if the two metals"
were on parity, the purchasing and
money would be equal. 1t was the
equality of the metals that it was in
favor of, that is the ratio of sixteen Of
silver to one of gold That is precisely
what the Chicago plank aims at, and
what Mr.. Bryan means when he de-
clares his honest belief that free coin
age at that ratio would raise the val
lie of silver to $129 an ounce, meas
ured by gold. Frankness and honesty,
always the better policy, should lead
Republican papers to admit that that
plank was an intentional subterfuge,
designed to hold the silver vote, in
stead of trying to defend it. and as
serting that s'the money plank Of the
Republican party in 1896 is in language
different, but in its essential meaning
and purpose Identical with the declara-
tion of 1892, Such admissions cloud
the gold-standard plank of 1896 with
doubt of its sincerity

appearances by putting in the field q
man or two who had at some time had
connection with the Democratic par
ty; and should have chosen to adver-
tise so conspicuously it's submersion

matters stand, 1t seems to us that the
voters of Minnesota could scarcely have
a more striking lesson in the actual

INDIA AND SILVER.

To the Editor OF the Globe.
VIII you please oblige me by answering
me following questions through the
Why was silver demonetzed in India?
How do you explain the 5S-cent dollar I
hear so much about. 1 do not under
stand 1t.
Which country raises more wheat. the
United States or India? Frank Pick.
Maiden. Mont, Aug. &c. 1896.
The single silver standard was estab-
lished in British India In 1885. because
the great body of the people Of that
country had been accustomed to use
silver as money. The unit of value is
the rupee. As much as thirty years
ago a change to the gold standard was
advocated. ION account of It's greater
convenience and the bulkiness Of the
cheaper metal. This project was
dropped. however, and the minis con-
tinued to coin silver without limit I'M
til the great fall in the price of silver
bullion made this policy so embarrass-
ing that the country was forced to
discontinue it.
The reasons for this are cas-
lily understood The Indian gov
eminent collects it's revenues from
the people in rupees. The taxes are
paid in silver. It's expenditures are
mostly in gold. It sends to Europe
nearly f20,00o,0OO per annum in re-
mittances for interest and debts.
Since its income was in a metal whose
value constantly fell, as compared
with the metal in which its obligations
We're paid, it had to face a constant
and growing deficit. The price Of sill
yer continued to fall, and the value
OF the rupee became less and less, I'M
til, after a thorough investigation of
the subject by a commission, the In
dian minis were closed to the free
coinage of silver in June, 1893.
When the 53-cent dollar is spoken of
1t Is meant that the bullion in the silver
dollar is worth only SO cents in gold,
or in anything else. That is to say,
If the silver dollar were melted down
and the metal had to be then traded
In the market for what it would bring,
it would be worth only So cents at the
present price of silver bullion.
The United States is much the larger
producer of wheat. The wheat crop
of India, as given in the Worlds Al
manac for 1Ss5,ssis placed at 2s5,OOooo
bushels. The yield in the United
States in 1894 was over 400. 100000 bush
els, and in 1891 was over 100000, 900
bushels. 80

WILL 1T HELP

There are renewed proofs of a return
OF confidence among Republicans that
this is to be, after all, yellow dog
year, and that they can elect their man
without telling the truth. One of these
is the following from the Chicago
Times Herald:
The Wilson tariff bill did not profess to be
protective measure. 1t was a tariff for
revenue only.
It's purpose was fulfilled to the extent
of adding to the national burdens $262, o0o,-
600.
Had the revenues proved equal to the neces-
sites of the treasury the gold reserve would
not have been invaded for cash to meet cur
rent expenses.
This is the very insolence of men
dacity. The Wilson bill found the
customs revenue cut down from over
$20C 600 to s1s1 100000 under McKin-
ley's bill ito reduce revenue" 1t has
reversed that process and steadily in
creased revenue. Had it had the in
come tax, it would have been ample.
Had 1t not been for the Republican
panic of '93, it would be ample without
the income feature. 1t added nothing
to the debt and it is shameful thing
for the Times-Herald to charge debt
forming as ''its purpose" The green
backs and treasury notes, presented for
redemption in gold and paid in gold
and reissued to draw more gold, were
the cause of the bond issues. and exceed
them in volume. The process began
with the passage of the Sherman act
and has continued ever since The
debt formers were the Mckinley act
and the Sherman silver bill. and the
Times-Herald knows it. Why not tell
the truth or keep silent?
