One OF the mysteries of the present
situation is the fact that 50 many ap-
parently intelligent and fair minded
Americans have permitted themselves
to be blinded to the real nature Of the
financial issue. Americans are natu-
rally honest and in many cases their
judgments seem to have been COM
pletely warped BY appeals to them In
the name Of honest money" 1t Is to
be devoutly hoped that as the Issue be-
comes more clearly defined they may be
able to grasp the fundamental truth
that money may be dishonest" by be-
ing too dear" as we'll as by being too
cheap"
In every financial transaction there
are two sides. Dear money" 10 good
money" to one side. but it Is frequently
ruin. and always injury to the other.
Let those who have been deluded by the
specious cry of sound money make .
note of this, and they will have taken
an important step toward correct So
luton OF the monetary question. Let
them then proceed to investigate how

creasing in purchasing pover-works
as between the monied classes and
those who are in debt or engaged In
production. Just little figuring Will
give them ideas that they never had be-
fore. When they proceed In this way
they Will soon discover the reason why
the mcney centers are so unanimously
against what they are pleased to term

same time the more the dollar grows 10

Columbus, S. c.. Sept. 15.-The State
board of control met last night to begin
an investigation into the alleged corrup-
ton existing in the State dispensary.
Commissioners MiXson, against whom
serious charges have been made, through
his attorney. refused to make any state
ment or to appear before the board un-
less the investigation was conducted pub
licly. The board finally agreed that the
representatives of the press should be al
lowed to be present and adjourned the
investigation until tomorrow morning
at $50.
The legislative examining committee,
which audits the finances of the institu-
ton, will sit with the board, and stem
ographer will be on hand to take the tes-
timony. The board Will be represented
by the attorney general.
b Upon the result of the Investigation
hangs the life or death of the dispensary.
If half of the corruption exists that is
commonly rumored, State officials be-
lieve that the Legislature will certainly
abolish the institution in January
Either prohibition or q modified Gothen-
burg system, us provided in the conssitu-
ton, will follow such an event.

WHAT THEY WON.

Canton, o., Sept. 15.-Major Mckinley
received the following telegram from
Augusta. Maine, this morning:
II offer you my hearty congratula-
lions. There is your triumph The Re
publican party has achieved this day the
most sweeping and magnificent victory
ever accorded any party in the history of
Maine. We have carried every county in
the State, elected every State senator and
at least l4O of the 155 members of the
house of representatives, the largest ma
lority ever recorded; elected our candi-
date for governor by the greatest major
ity ever given candidate for that high
Office: endorsed the St Louis platform
and declared for Mckinley and Hobart by
$4,000 The Republican vote exceeds by
several thousand the largest Republican
vote heretofore given and the vote for the
Democratic candidate for governor is the
smallest ever cast with one exception, the
vote of 1894, which was only 5000 less.
we have kept pace with Vermont and
proven to the country that the Demo
cratic platform adopted in Chicago can
not prevail when met by argument and
reason. We have been aided in this great
contest by many Democrats who have
placed country above party. What more
could Maine have done for the cause of
good government, honest money and pro-
lection. j. H. MANLEYn
