Not n New Thing.

Considerable defamation is INDUCED
i'm nowadays about the possibility of
this great nation having monetary
system of its own, without relation to
what Europe or any of the rest of the
world want. Considering the fact that
during the prosperous years of the
latest Republican administration our
foreign trade, export and import,
amounted to about one thousand mill
ion dollars in single year, the import
ance of having some standard of money
values which we hold in common with
other countries becomes apparent We
must make our settlements with for
eign countries in money which they
recognize. 1t is for this reason that
the cooperation of the commercial ma
tions of the globe in settling the silver
question becomes all important. Nor
is this by any means new idea. Both
in 1878 and 1898 congress passed laws,
with the general assent of all parties,
providing for the appointment of com
missioners from this country TO inter-
national bi-mc tailic conferences. The
last conference held gave promise, at
one time, of reaching some definite
conclusion but the attitude of England
prevented that desirable result. Since
then there has been a great change in
public sentiment and in official circles
in England, and there is every reason
TO believe that if this country makes
no free silver experiment on its own
account, the silver question may
within two or three years be settled by
international agreement, and without
the wrenching of financial conditions
that would follow the attempt on our
part to ignore the rest of the world.
To this effort the Republican party is
pledged, and in this course it is but
following the precedents of 1878 and
1898.

The Two Candidates.

Considered independently of their
platforms and their parties there is no
comparison as regards qualifications
for the presidency between Gov. Me-
kinley and his opponent. Mr.. McKln-
ley is mature in years and judgment,
and has had an experience wide and
varied. His service in the army fur
nished proof of patriotism and capacity.
In congress he reached the front rank
and his name is identified with one Of
the most important pieces of legisla-
ton Of the period As governor of the
third largest state in the Union he has
shown executive ability of a high order
and his speeches in numerous cam
paigns indicate broad views and an in
tclligent comprehension of all subjects
re .ating to government.
His opponent has to show for his
public career two terms in congress
and the rupture of his own party in his
own state. In congress he was ready
debater on just two subjects and had
little to say on anything else. He was
a rank free trader and free silverite,
hut If he ever had views on questions
Of foreign policy or on any questions
OF home government save the two mem
toned he failed to make them known.
In home politics he has been a diSor-
ganizer and has shown decided sym
pathy with the set of notions that
make up what the Populists call their
beliefs He has never had opportunity
to show whether he has any executive
ability or not, but some of his utter
anccs indicate that he has in him the
making of an Altgeld, a Lewellyn, or a
Waite.
Not one-tenth of the delegates to the
convention would in their calmer mo-
ments have picked out this youngster
as "a suitable candidate for the presi-
dency of a great nation with vast and
varied home interests, and with many
foreign complications. But he made a
rafting speech at a critical time in the
convention. The speech does not inn
press the reader as one of great power,
certainly does not reach anywhere
near TO the level of craftsmanship.
But it tickled the pre- JUDGES of the sill
yer men and was of that declamatory
character that sets convention wild.
1t was while under the influence of the
ntoxication of this speech that the
convention gave Mr.. Bryan the nom
nation. Now that they have had time
to go home and take a sober second
thought, many of them are wondering
why in the mischief they nominated
that Populist boy for the chief mag
stracy.

Facts About Money.

The following, found in an eastern
paper, is modest in its tone, but it CON
tains more common sense and hard
facts than are often found in more pre-
tentious forms. If more people Will
read it there will be fewer street-corner
jawsmithS talking financial drivel at
random. Pass it around:
/. Money as IA standard Of value is an
international, ana not Il local or merely
national, factor.
2. Cheap money will always drive
good money out of circulation, and thus
contract the currency.
g. y fixed standard is required to
measure value.
t. Gold is of automatic issue. No one
determines the limit OF issue.
). Fiat money is simply a forced loan
1t is government money, and ITS value
is alone determined by the proportion
of its volume to the credit OF the issuing
government.
6. The words "cheap" and dear
mean nothing without a standard OF
comparison.
:. Panics are caused by the over-val-
uation of property and commodities
and by general extravaganza, and not
10y the so-called variations III supply Of
money. In 1893 and 1894 money was
more plentiful than ever before. In
1878 the net deposits III our national
banks were S613, 400, 900; in 1894 they
were 81, 300, 600. The deposits in
the savings institutions of the country
in 1883 were 81 024, S56, Isl; in 1891
they were about - 000, 100000
s. Business determines how much
money country needs. What we now
need is an increase III the volume Of
money.

The state Conventions

Michigan win be one of the frs OF
the reliable Republican states to hold
its convention and open the fall cam
paign. Since the last gathering of its
Republicans, at about the same time rs
those of many other states, the ma
tional conventions of the two great par
ties have been held and the lines have
been clearly drawn. The ST. Louis
convention has spoken authoritatively
for the Republican party in the whole
country. 1t declares for the tradi-
tional policy of protection and reel
procity, and in favor of honest money,
1t is the privilege of the staunch Re-
publicans of Michigan to be among the
first to take up their party standard,
and rally under it for their fall cam
paign. A platform in full accord with
that of the national convention will
furnish the best fighting ground that
the party can occupy, in fact the only
safe ground, and if the best men of the
party turn out at the caucuses and
county conventions, the campaign will
be successfully inaugurated upon that
basisl
The honest money campaign of 1878
furnishes a useful lesson. The spring
election of that year was a Greenback
landslide and many timid Republicans
were in favor of making some conces-
sions to Greenbacl< sentiment in the
platform for the fall campaign, in the
hope of winning back some of the
GreenbaclIers, and of retaining Repub-
Leans of Greenback tendencies. But
the more courageous counsels of Gov
ernor Croswcll, Senator Chandler and
men of that stamp prevailed, and the
platform was as pronounced as the
most ardent honest money man could
wish. The campaign was conducted
on the same line, the party closed up
its ranks, and won by plurality of
AZ, 900
There was, that year, no national
convention. and Michigan had to form
its own line of battle. This year the
national convention has prepared the
plan of campaign, and Michigan in
falling into line, will find plenty of
support The caucuses of the next two
weeks and the convention of August s.
ought to show that Michigan Repub-
leans are loyal to the national organ
ization. and ready again TO enter the
fight with spirit that is born of con-
fidencc of complete success

Mckinley on the Value of Labor.

No worthy American wants to reduce
the price of labor in the United States
1t ought not TO be reduced: for the sake
of the laboyer and his family and the
good of society it ought to be main
tanned. To increase it would be in
better harmony with the public sense
Our labor must not be debased nor our
laborers degraded TO the level of slaves,
nor any pauper or servile system in any
form, nor under any guise whatsoever,
at home or abroad. Our civilization
will not permit it. Our humanity for
bids it, Our traditions are opposed to
it. The stability of our institutions
rests upon the contentment and intelli-
gence of all of our people and these
can only be possessed by maintaining
the dignity Of labor and securing to it
its just rewards. That protection
opens avenues for employment, broad.
ems and diversifies the field of labor.
and presents variety of vocation is
manifest from our own experience -
