New York, Oct. 31.-Fraudulent cit

the faith Of, Mr.. Mckinley himself never

lucky for Mckinley again that the Demo-

them to pass the Wilson-Gorman law at
time when the country was entering
upon period of hard times. Some think
the hard times would have come anyway
through natural causes. Others think the
Wilson-Gorman law brought them on.
This is matter of opinion, and we dom /

ever see such series of luck?
Nor is this all. 1t was the most fortu-
nate thing in the world that Mckinley
was retired from the house after the
Fffty-first congress. As governor of
Ohio he was out of the way of all the
storms. He could make neither enemies
nor mistakes. He was off to one side,
and the power of the idea did all the rest.
Had he been returned to congress there
is no telling what blunders he might have

M'KINLEY'S LUCK.

There is such thing as luck in this

take the case Of William Mckinley, jr,
of Canton, O.. | was talking about Mr.
Mckinleys case recently with one of the
veteran members Of the house. and his re-
marks were rather interesting. It is well
to bear in mind that he is a great ad-
mirer of the Ohio statesman and to make
some allowances for his enthusiasm. but
his talk Is worth reading just the same.
Mckinley IL perhaps the luckiest man
in America, "isa!d he. Here he is on the
highway to the white house and no one

of the thingA that have contributed to
his success. Il he had beaten Tom Reed

Carlisle's Chicago Speech.

The speech made by Secretary Car
Isle at Chicago last night on the cur
rency question, the substance of which
is elsewhere reported, very clearly out
lines the dangers of unlimited silver
coinage, which would, as he points out,
probably drive out gold and leave us
with the single silver standard. The
great majority of thoughtful Ameri-
cans. we take it, do not want single
standard, either of gold or of silver.
What they want is bimetallism, or what
is known as the automatic double
standard, consisting of gold and silver
used interchangeably.
Mr.. Carlisle processes to be believer
IN bimetallism when it can be estab-
lshed by international agreement.
Until that time. he wants gold to be
the standard and silver made token
money, like paper. AS between a pa
per dollar standing for gold and q
silver dollar standing for gold, he would
pay 50 cents for the silver dollar when
he could get a good paper dollar. re-
deemable in gold. at the cost of q frac-
tion Of cent. 1t strikes us that this
Is poor economy. If we believed in a
gold single standard, we would favor
paper rather than silver token money,
since Il would be great deal cheaper
ami also more convenient Then silver
could go to the level of zinc or copper,
and we could min our whole financial
salvation to gold alone, of which there
is about s., 600 900. 900 in the world and
about 5000, ,OOO. .OOO-Mr. Carlisle says
$685., ,OOOO 600 in the United States.
The Tribune agrees with the Demo-
cratic secretary of the treasury that
the free and unlimited coinage by the
United States OF the silver Of the world,
at the ratio Of 1879 or 16 to 1 would,
as silver Is now rated, prove hazardous.
on the other hand. 1t does not despair
of being able to take care of the silver
produced in this country without refer
cEce to other nations. Hence it would
put crohibitive tariff on foreign sill
Yer and coin our own product, less the
amount used in the arts on q parity
with gold, and the prohibitive tariff
would maintain that parity. This home
silver output is now 5000, 900 a year,
al Of which at present goes into the
arts or is exported. Even if-an improb-
able estimate-it should reach 500, ,OOO,-
600 a year under the stimulus of home
coinage, not more than half of that
could get to the mints, and the like
lihood is that not more than 40 per
cent. would. Our natural growth in

States to a commanding influence as IA
beneficent power among the nations: to
= practical leadership in the march o.:

These may sound like immoderate
words, but if we accept the belief that
the safety of free government rests up
on popular education they gain ire
sistible force. Certainly no other place
in the world is better fitted to be the
site of such a university than is the cap
ital city of the foremost republic. with
its increasing treasures of learning
and its multiplying facilities of schol-
arly research in practically every sub
division OF human knowledge. Maybe
the location in Washington of such a
fountain of broad scholarship would
have purifying influence on American
politics at the focus of national politi-
cal activity. At all\events it would
prove in other ways an inestimable
public benefit.
Senator Cameron is quoted as having
said recently at Washington: II am
going to be the next president or the
United States. l will not be elected as
a Republican, nor as a Democrat;
will be nominated and elected as a Sill
Yer advocate, and a Drotectionist or
moderation. My administration will
not be partisan, but will be one OF

probably joking. Silver or no silver,
