BimetaIIism.
From the Boston Post Dem.).

The contest at Chicago will be between
bimetallism and silver monometallism.
The silverites may call themselves hi
metallists, but it is a misnomer Real BIZ
metalhsm exists now in the United States
because the gold standard is maintained;
it would cease the moment the gold
standard is dropped and the free coinage
of silver is established.
There is now in use as money in the
United States more silver than gold.
In round numbers, the figures are Sta
100000 of silver coin and certificates,
and S6lsO00,000 of gold coin and certifi-
Gates. An absolute equality of value is
maintained between this gold and silver
currency, and the greenbacks and treas
ury notes are also kept at par; and we
are able to do this because we hold to the
gold standard. Let free silver coinage be
undertaken and this parity at once dis
appears; the country sinks to the level Of
silver recommendation.
In no other country in the world is
the bimetallic system in operation as in
the United States. Drop the gold stand
ard and the United States sinks to the
level of Mexico and China.

Manor Pinrree,s plan.

Mr.. Pingree, the mayor of Detroit, is
the sort of a man that can't be kept
in the background. He is bound to let
the world know that he is as full of ideas
as an egg is of meat. A couple of years
ago he came into. national prominence by
means of plan to assist the poor people
of Detroit. He noticed that the vacant
lots in the city limits were beneftting
nobody, and suggested that poor people
who desired to cultivate them should have
the privilege of doing so, free of charge.
The suggestion was adopted, and many
poor persons of Detroit were able to raise
enough vegetables on vacant lots to sup
ply the needs of their families, and, in
some Instances, much more than enough.
Other cities adopted the Pingree plan, and
it has been found to be very satisfactory
one.
Mayor Pingree now has another plan,
which he thinks would be of benefit to
the whole country. 1t is a plan to keep
our gold at home. 1t is, in substance,
that clubs shall be formed in all parts
Of the country whose members shall
pledge themselves to get along without
the luxuries now purchased abroad. He
thinks we should be satisfied with Ameri-
can champagne and American wooden
goods. He doesn't see why we shouldn't
give up tea and coffee, nor why Americans
shouldn't travel in this country instead
of Europe. He estimates that $500, 900. OOC
in gold IS carried to Europe every year
by travellers.
The people Of this country could, OF
course, get along without the luxuries
which Mr.. Pingree mentions, but it isn't
at all probable that they will do so. Mr.
Pingree's plan does well enough to talb
about, but the general adoption of il
is hardly within the bounds of proba.

Mr.. PIimsoII,s NTission.

Samuel PlimsoH of England well known
the world over in connection with the
safety load line of British ships" is in
this country on a rather remarkable mis-
sion. 1t Is to find out and remove the cause
of the Ill feeling Americans have for Eng
land. Mr.. Plimsoll says Englishmen have
no dislike of the United States, and he
doesn't see why Americans should have
any for England. He thinks the dislike IS
due to the fact that our school histories
contain references to England that preju-
dice the children against her. and that the
children grow to men and women retain
ing this ill-feeling without knowing exact
" the cause of it.
Mr.. Plimson says he has investigated all
the school histories used in the board
schools of England and in none of them
has he found any unkind reference to the
United States He is going to investigate
the histories used in the schools of this
country, and if his theory is sustained,
namely, that our school children are
taught to hate England. he is going to try
to inaugurate a reform-that is, he is go
ing to undertake to have our school histo-
ries so changed that they will contain no
unkind references to England.
Mr.. PlimsolIs mission appears to be a
commendable one. We doubt, however If
the feeling in this country respecting
England IS so bitter as he seems to think
it is. Whatever bitterness there is, is not
due so much to the war that occurred one
hundred and twenty years ago as to Eng
lands bulldozing methods in extending her
empire and enforcing her ultimatums
against weaker nations.
Mr.. Plimson is now an old man-seventy
years old or more-and he thinks he will
be satisfied with his life's work If he can
remove from the minds of the people of
the United States all dislike of England.
He might accomplish more perhaps in the
direction in which he is working ii he
would tackle Gov. Tillman, who is just
now trying to arouse a feeling against
England because she insists upon adher-
ing to the gold standard. Tillman's refer
ence to England in his speech in New
York a few nights ago was bitter to de-
gree.

Long ana Short Haul.
From the Philadelphia Record (Dem.).

The merchants of Piedmont, Ala, who
felt that they were unjustly discriminate
ed against by the railway companies,
which carried freight under substantially
at lower rates to Admission, Ala, than the
rates charged to them for the shorter
haul, have won their case before the in
terstate commerce commission on an ap-
peal for the enforcement of section
of the interstate commerce law. The de-
cision shows that the long and short
haup' clause of the act OF 1857 is not yet
a dead letter. 1t also conveys the useful
lesson that with due submission to the
delays of red tape a vigorous insistence
upon their rights by shippers and com
munities injured by the determinations of
transportation companies will eventually
insure redress,

haFNeH's scheme.
Il would have been remarkable II ". II.
Harvey. the author OF COINS Financial
School" had not come forward with a
scheme to carry the country for silver.
He doubtless regards himself as the great
est factor in the silver movement, and on
that account expects 10 have his sus-
gestions carefully considered by the sll-
yer leaders.
In dispatch in the Morning News
yesterday he is quoted as expressing the
opinion that Gov. Mckinley cannot be
beaten unless all the silverites combine
and support one ticket. Therefore, he
suggests a combination, which includes
democrats, populists and silver republi-
cans. In this combination the demo-
Gratis are to have the presidency and
one cabinet officer. the populists the
GERS and the silver republicans the secre,
taryship of the treasury and two other
cabinet offices. He mentions Mr.. Bland
for President, Senator Marion Butler fos
Vice President and Senator Teller for
Secretary Of the Treasury.
Would a combination like that be a
strong one? We don't think it would.
The only bond of union between the sill
yer democrats and the silver republicans
is the silver question, and the populists
are not in sympathy with either the sill
yer democrats or the silver republicans
on any question except that of silver. 1t
can be readily seen, therefore, that a
ticket Of the kind proposed by Mr.. Har-
vey would not arouse a great deal or
enthusiasm or command a very hearty
support.
In the first place it would be almost
impossible to make a combination such
as Mr.. Harvey suggests. The populists
are not going to give up their organiza-
ton. because they think it stands fos
silver.
But suppose such a combination should
be made, and that it should succeed in
electing the President, what an inhar-
AliOAAONb bONoA AAAAGAAL We MOuAA AdF1s II
would be utterly impossible for il to agree
upon any policy on any matter of i'm
portance. not even excepting silver. The
three different political elements would
be pulling all the time in three directions.
and as a consequence it would be impos-
sible to carry into effect successfully a
policy in respect to any important mat
ter.
The impractible character Of Mr.. Har-
vey's scheme is so apparent that it is
not necessary to discuss it. 1t will not
be given a serious thought at Chicago
No doubt efforts will be made to unite
all the silverites in support of one ticket,
but they viii be in the direction Of
choosing as candidates for President and
Vice President democrats likely to be
the most acceptable to the populists and
silver republicans, provided the popullsta
and silver republicans indicate a pur-
pose to support the democratic ticket. A
scheme like that suggested by Mr.. Har-
vey. If adopted, would repel conserva-
tive silverites.

The Democracy VIII Live.
From the Richmond Times Dem }.

Whatever the financial declaration it
may there make, the democratic party
will live, as a bulwark against republican
rapacity and Capitalization, and as the
safeguard of local f-government. The
business question involved in the financial
issue is, as a vitalizing force, nothing
as compared with the great political
principles of democracy.
