The Logic Of Facts.
Crimes Herald.)

Mr. Bryan. in his acceptance of the
silver party nomination. quotes from d
speech he says Major Mckinley made
in 1890 IN which he showed favor to
silver. The difference between Mr..
Bryan and Major Mckinley on the
money question is that the latter ac-
cepted the logic of facts about silver
the effect of it's extraordinary increase
of production whose persistence did
not become apparent until 1S92-and
Mr. Bryan does not accept the logic of
facts.
So long as any reason for confidence
in our experiment continued Major Nc
l<inley adhered to the stand taken by
his party in the passage of the Sher-
man act. Nature disposed OF the best
laid plans" of the best friends of silver
Her superabundance of that metal in
the single year of 1892 exceeded in out
put fVefold that of some previous
years and showed that the high tide
setting in with 1856, had not reached
IT'S maximum. 1t became necessary for
the United States to abandon an
undertaking which had failed toachicvc
what had been hoped and expected to
keep the price of silver up and toenablc
the United States to carry thu silver
dollars at par with gold without stop

he amount of ( 800 GOO ounces monthly.
Major Mckinley acted intelllgently.
periodically and honestly to silver
So long as production and commerce
permitted he remained a loyal adher-
ent Of the only practicable bimetallism
The record Of Major Mckinley is per
fectll consistent and its sincerity above
caNil. What words of Major NJ ckinley
as to silver in the past compare il
fcrVor or positiVeness with those OF
Senators Stewart and Jones about
gold?
The difference is that Major Mckin-
ley has submitted to the logic of facts
and the dictates of reason and patriot
ism, and Mr.. Bryan and his free silver
allies have not submitted to the logic
of facts. The question of patriotism
may be left to individual Judgment.

Clipped Coin for Pensioners.

plank of which he ''unqualfiedly in

We demand the free and unlimited
coinage of both silver and gold at the
present legal ratio of 16 to !, without
waiting for the aid or consent of any
other nation. We demand that the
standard silver dollar shall be full
legal tender, equally with gold, for all

The Workingman's Own Questions.
On. Y. World. DEM

All the candidates for office and their
stump speakers are asking questions
of the Workingman. Before making up
his mind how to vote the workingman
will do well to ask a few questions of
himself, to wit:
Does the present 100 cent dollar buy
too much food, clothing and family
supplies for my advantage? Do | want
its purchasing power diminished.
What assurance have that my
wages will be advanced to correspond
with the increase of prices which the
free silver orators say is necessary to
give the country boom?
Can | mark up my wages as faSt or
as easily as the grocer or merchant can
mark up his prices?
What compensation can there be for
me in giving the silver mine owners
free coinage for their bullion if my
wages will buy less and my savings are
legally made payable in 80 cent dollars?

MISERABLE STATE.
How Free Silver Coinage Keeps Mexico
Down.

In some of Saturdays papers there
vas published letter written by Pres
ldent Diaz of Mexico. the text of-which
was the 'prosperity' of that Southern
Republic. Among those who read this
letter was j. F.. Maloney, who re-
turned from Mexico. last Saturday. AS
soon as Mr. Maloney read the letter he
started for the Journal office, and there
made the following statements to a
reporter:
so far as labor is concerned, no
civilized country is worse off than
Mexico The common laborerS receive
for a days work of 10 hours from 3l1a
to 80 cents: PAYERS on tracks, A to 80
cents; street car drivers. for a day S
work of 1212 or IA hours, 70 cents; con-
ductors, $1.00 Ghe high salary being
supposed to serve as inducement to
honestly; painters, working 10 hours.
from 81 to 81 cents; painters foremen.
800; blacksmiths 80 TO 81 cents. and
their foremen, S1.00; woodkorkers the
same.
And now for prices. Mexican hams
sell al from 80 to 81 cents a pound lard
at from rs to 80, potatoes at SIPS a
bushel, coal. ST. ton; ordinary milk,
- cents a quart; wood, $500 a cord
poor butter, 80 cents a pound Cthere is
no good butter); beer, Is cents a glass
and you cannot buy good bread at any
price
The laborerS of Mexico live in filth
and squalor. The City of Mexico is the
Ell Dorado of the republic. Yet l Ven
ture to state that $4,000 men and 10000
women go barefoot. The number OF
beggers is incalculable, and the gov
eminent makes no provision for their
aid. The laborer eats no bread. meat
or potatoes; he cannot afford to. The
best public boarding place is the Amer
lean Club. There they charge $50 a
month | could get better board in
Boston for $15. When l first went to
Mexico | didn't care to have the
Chinese even wash my linen. Before |
left l was glad to eat their food. L is
the best that stranger can get
Salaries are low. Commodities are
high. There is no chance for the la
hCrer to raise his own eatables. There
are no small farms. Most of the farms
contain 500 or 600 acres. The profit in
investments is confined almost exclu-
sively to the silver mines, and they are
chiefly profitable because they employ
pauperized labor. There is no evidence
of prosperity anywhere.
There is no such thing as sanitary
system even in the City of Mexico.
They even have no method of flushing
the sewers Between the government
building and the San Lazaro Railway

The Sick Man: Is His En1 at Hand?
On. Y. SUM

There are signs that the Cars at
titude toward the Sultan has been
modified. and that, should another
massacre take place at Constantinoplc,
Russian, French and English war ships
will be sent thither for the purpose Of
maintaining order Such interference
would doubtless lead to the deposition
OF the present Sultan, and it is possible
that. instead of permitting a new ruler
to be chosen, the powers principally in
terested may recognize that the time
has come to divide the Ottoman pos
sessions.
Although. however. the Turk is a
sick man, he has been in a worse plight
four times in the present century. Tho
ottoman empire was brought to the
verge of ruin in 1929, when a Russian
army under Diebitsch crossed the
Balkans and reached Adrianople Again
in 1888, Mahmoud II. consented, at the
bidding of the Car. to sign the treaty
Of Unkiar Skelessi, which, if France
and England would have suffered it to
be carried out. would have converted
Turkey into a Vassal state That
treaty placed the Dardanelles and Con-
stantinople itself under the protection of
Russian war vessels, and it was plain
enough that in such circumstances all
of the Sultan'S official acts would be
dictated from st. Petersburg Again.
III 1899. when the Turkish army was
annihilated by Ibrahim Pasha at Nisib.
and when, almost contemporaneously,
the Turkish fleet was handed over to
Mehemet Ali al Alexandria. nothing
but the interposition of England and
France saved the house of Gilman
reinforcement. Once more, in March
1878, when Russian army had reached
the suburbs of Constantinople. nothing
saved the Turkish empire from de-
struction except the knowledge that. if
the invaders entered the capital. a fleet
OF British ironclads would be ordered
to the Bosporus. On every one of the
occasions named it seemed improbable
that Turkey would survive yet it con-
tinued to exist and SO it may be that
even now the Ottoman government will
be suffered to go on under a new ruler

The Moorish kingdom of Grenada lin
sered forsome two centuries longer than

analogous reason namely, the rivalry
between Russia on the one hand and
Austria and England on the other. that
the OSmanli have been allowed to re-
tain Constantinople for the last three
quarters Of a century The house OF
Hapsburg has good cause to fear that
it would be unable to hold its Slavic
subjects in subsection should the great
Slav sovereign gain a footing in the
Balkan peninsula. English statesmen
on their part have hitherto assumed
that their country's short line OF com
nlunicatiOn with India would be threat
ened if strong power like Russia
whose navy is capable of indefinite ex-
ransion should gain control of the
Bosporus. The political and strategic
objection seem as valid now as they

tion of Turkey. But in England, at ali
events. there are Indications that pub

British commerce in the I-evant may
remain shielded from Russian rivalry.

We sincerely trust there is mo-
much of the last two, for the market
has literally gone to pieces because
of the undue amount and pressure oil
these styles. We are offered clean
ed rice by millers in New Orleans
and from some local mills in the
Southwest at prices that cannot net
the planters more than Soc to SIC
per barrel rough. Such figures are
below the cost Of importing an eenal
grade in foreign and in fact far be-
low its intrinsic yalne. I62 pounds
rough rice finely ground is worth
as feed, 81 as against corn, oats aud
bran at current prices. It is uni.
~versally fed to cattle and horses 10
the far East. Ii seems strange that
it should not be used to a greater
extent in this country. Those who
use it aere advise one part corn or
oats TO four parts ground rough
rice. Any rough that will not net
Csc ought to be used as feed or held
over until next season.
We take it for granted that the
coming crop will be of good charae.
ter aud if so, poor grades could then
be disposed Of at some decent figure.
For human food any sound rice, even
though red, should command at least
81 to sl.25 and perhaps $3.50 net,
but when the amount is several
times in exeesd Of ordinary require :
ments the result is depression aud
