Rev. Ida G. Hilton o. Illinois, was
next introduced, and msde the principal
address of the evening. The speaker be.
lieyed In the new women, but thought
her sphere was still the home, provided
the right definition be gwen to ''home."
A college professor had said to her that
be did not want his wife to be educated.
de came home tired with intellectual
effort, and wanted to md rest. "That is,
he expected his wife 20 10 q sort Of in
tellectual vacuum for his benefit" said
the speaker. According to it's right
definition the homo was the sphere of
both man and woman, where the two are
bound together in the divine, invisible
association, which elevatBs them and all
who are near them. The sphere of
woman ia any path that she can walk
over, any work that she can do. The
old vine and oak theory was q beautiful
one; but there were not oaks enough to
go around. daughter AS to women
taking part In politics, it was queer that
when it came 10 to the one thing that
men have always doEe by themselves,
the men say thatsswomer should keep out
of it because it is SO dirty (Laughter).
As to the argument. that women should
not vote because they could not 60 to
war, the speaker thought that that was
answered very we'll by a conversation be-
tween Horace Greedy and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton.
Well, Elizabeth" said Horace, "sup-
pose there should be another war; what
would the woman voters do?'
"They would stay at home and urge
others TO go. just as you did in the last
one, !" was Elizabeth's reply. daughter.
These passages are few examples of
the bright things said by the SPEAKER In
the course of a very entertaining and
able address.

Information For All.

Too much cannot be said in praise of
the penny publication Present Prob
lens. -Four numbers have thus far
been issued, and each contains IN excel
lent discussion On the money question.
No. / is a 4s-page pamphlet entitled
"The Free Coinage Problem" 1t is a
most excellent treatment of the whole
FREQ coinage problem, showing its bear
ings on farmers, wage earners and the
general public.
No. 2 contains. besides other short
articles, the now famous Horrible
Crime-T The Decentralization of Iron
2, 900 Years Ago" by Alex. p. Hull.
No. 3 is entitled Free Coinage Dis
sected. " 1t is by congressman John
DE Witt Warner, one of our best posted
men on the money question. He makes
good use Of the 32 pages in this pam
phlet. Besides laying bare the 16-to-l
question he indicates what must be the
final solution of tho coinage and cur
renoy questions.
No. 4 is entitled Sixteen to One
Versus Wages" 1t is also by Mr.. War
ner. 1t shows from statistics in this
and other countries that actual wages
have always and everywhere declined
when paid in depreciating money, and
have risen, when paid in gold. His sta
tistics and arguments are full and con-
elusive. No one who understands them
will attempt to answer them.
This admirable series Of timely little
pamphlets undoubtedly furnish both
the best and the cheapest information
on this question for the general reader.
They are a convenient size for carrying
in the pocket, are illustrated and are
printed in attractive form with neat
covers.
They are published semi-monthly by
the Present Problems Publishing CO.,
81 Park place, New York city. The
subscription price is 20 cents per year;
single copies, | cent each. Sample copies
will be sent free to writers or speakers
on the money question, who are likely to
use large quantities if the pamphlets
are found to be satisfactory.

Was He a Prophet

Forty years ago Macaulay, the his
t~orian, wrote as follows:
"The day will come in the United
States when the multitudes, distressed
by hard times, will be called upon to
choose a Legislature. On one side is
a statesman, preaching patience, res
pect for vested rights, strict ODE
Of public faith.
ION the other are demagogues
ranting about the tyranny OF capital
lists and usurers. | seriously appre-
bend that the people of the United
States will in some such season of adj
versity do things which will prevent
prosperity from returning; that they
will act like people who should in a
year Of scarcity devour all the seed
corn, and thus make the next year a
year, not of scarcity. but of absolute
famine. There will be, ] fear, spolia-
ton; the spoliation will increase the
distress; the distress will produce
fresh spoliation.
when a society has once entered
on this downward progress there is
nothing to stop it. Either ciyiliza-
ton or liberty must perish. Either
some Caesar or Napoleon will seize
the reins of government with a strong
hand, 0 I your republic will be as fear
fully plundered by barbarians in the
twentieth century as the Roman EN-
pire was in the fifth; with this differ
ence, that the Huns and Vandals,
who ravaged Rome, came from with
out. while your Huns and Vandals
will have been engendered within
your own country by your own insti-
tutions."

A sample snyerlte Error.

Governor Altgeld of Illinois expresses
a popular delusion Of the free coinage
advocates when he asserts, Formerly
all Of the gold and all Of tho silver that
was mined each year was added TO the
stock OF money Of the world" In one
form or another this assertion Is being
repeated throughout the country as an
argument for free silver.
BY formerly" however, Altgeld
means previous to 1878. But he is very
much astray as TO his facts. In no u
try of the world, at any period in his
tory, have all of the gold and silver
mined each year been used as money.
Large quantities Of both metals have al
ways been used in the arts, at some
periods the consumption III this form
exceeding the annual production. At
least 80 per cent Of all the gold and sill
yer mined has boen used for other pur-
poses than for money. Since the disoov-
cry of America the value Of the worlds
production Of gold and silver is given
by DIR. Soetbeer and other sfatisticians
at about $l8, roo, 900, 900.
The total value of the worlds stock
of money is now but little more than
$S, 900, 600, 000, showing that over go,
600, 000, 900 worth, OF about go per
cent, of gold and silver has been used
in tho arts.
In the 80 years previous to 1878 the
United States coined only s, 900, 900 sill
yer dollars. and about 1926, 900, 900 Of
subsidiary coins During the past 23
years there have been coined over 422,-
600, 600 silver dollars and about $50, :
000, 900 in subsidiary coinage. Thus in
stead Of adding less silver to our stock
Of money since 1873, we have coined 30
times as many silver dollars as were is
sued before that time and have greatly
increased our annual coinage Of sub
sidiary silver. Our coinage of gold has
also increased largely since 1878, the
average amount for the 23 years before
that date being about $31, 600, 900 an
nually, while for tho past 23 years it
averaged over $45, 600, 600 per year.
In spite of these indisputable facts,
which can be verified by any voter who
will write to thu director Of the mint
and ask for his official report, Governor
Altgeld asserts that 1.-THE annual adj
dition to the stock Of money is less than
half Of what it formerly was. Gould
there be a clearer proof of the campaign
of deception and Misrepresentation
which is being carried on by the 16-to-l
agitators?

a ElohT roy EXISTENCE.

The hue and cry going up from
the Popocratic camp that railroad
companies and corporations generally
are exercising undue influence to in
duce employees to vote against Bryan
is in keeping with other charges made
by them. Suppose all they claim is
true. Suppose the employers of la
Dor, after the experience of the past
three years, should strive to inform
their employees OF the dangers which
confront them, would they be doing
anything more than their dutye
Would not they be criminaily negli-
gent OF their duty. not only to stock
holders but to employees, when they
see danger ahead, If they did not
make an effort to give warning of
that DANGER 1t looks that way to us
War has been declared by a great par
ty not only against the best financial
system the world has ever known but
against the Supreme Court, in favor
Of mob rule, against our banking sys-
tenn. in favor Of the perpetuation
of the free trade policy which has
brought poverty n the midst OF plen-
ty and bankruptcy when there is more
money in the country than ever be-
fore, which has forced idleness upon
the Industrious, filled homes with
want and established soup-houses in
stead OF factories. These and a thou
sand other woes which we might
enumerate are proposed to be perpet-
uated and added to. Therefore every
instinct OF our common humanity urg-
es everyone who loves his fellow-man
/ avert by every means In his power
the calamity which is threatened. He
who hoists the danger signal is a pa
triot Of the highest type and those
who now decry the efforts made to
save the Nation from riot, ruin and
reputation will live to see the day
when they will know the error of
their way and will rise up to bless
those who truly read the signs of the
times.

Mankind progressed from the use of
rowboats to sailing vessels and steam
ships. 1t is not "enmity'p to sailing
vessels that makes us travel by steam
ships. 1t is no ''unfriendly act" Of a
great newspaper against hand presses if
it uses steam presses. 1t is no "crime''
against horses if we transport our goods
by railroads. Neither is it enmity to
silver nor an unfriendly act, nor a crime
toward it, if other nations and our own
use gold for the transfer of values We
will continue to use rowboats and sail
ing vessels as well as steamships, just
as we will continue TO use copper and
silver as we'll as gold. No act Of col
gress could, however, give to u sailing
vessels the great and almost uniform
swiftness of our ocean steamers. Not
ever an international agreement would
accomplish It'd. Ochs.

IRREGULAR PROCEEDINGS.

There are Democrats who support
Bryan the Populist because the plea
is made that he was the regular nom
inee of the regularly authorized Dem
ocratic convention. That point is
not we'll taken. The convention was
regularly called. but when the dele
gates, before their credentials were
passed upon, refused to accept the
temporary chairman, Senator David
B. Hill, chosen by the National Com
mittee, then that convention ceased
to be regular. Again, when the reg
ularly elected delegates from Michi-
gan were deprived of their seats and
the bolter, Bryan, of Nebraska, and
his gang were admitted instead Of the
legally elected delegates from that
State, the convention ceased to be a
Democratic convention aud became in
fact a rump concern, dominated by
Populists and a few boiling Republi-
can silver-mine owners
Old-time Democrats were howled
down and the r%iff-raff of creation-po-
litical hyenas-entered in and de-
stroyed the last semblance of Democ-
racy.
The Louisville Courier Journal, a
newspaper, the Democracy of which
has never been called in question.
said in its issue Of July 7:
Today begins a convention whose
action is to close for years the career
of the Democratic party.
That party, founded on those prin-
ciples whose establishment and main
tenance have been and must be in
~dispensable to the perpetuation Of
self-government, has fallen into the
control of a wild mob which madly
casts aside every consideration of the
party's inspiration and origin, history
and heritage, and frantically sacrifices
all in a prostitution of the party's e.
n~ancial record and integrity to the
~insanest craze for 6atism that ever
afflicted a civilized people.
Moved by this monomania have
iocked to Chicago today the REDS"
Of the Republic, the dissatisfied and
unsuccessful of all classes, the ne'er-
do-wells in practical affairs. the brok
en- down hack politicians of all par
ties, the Populist cbasers of the rain
bow, the chronic rebels against es-
tablished law and government. the
avaricious silver kings of the West,
the Socialists, the Paternalists, the
Communists, the Agrarians, the An
archists, the sand-lotters, the walking
delegates, the tramps of all political
creeds, the political adventurer whose
sole pursuit in life is public office, re-
CARELESS of political creed, and, most
pathetic Of all, the honest, deluded
victims who have been deceived into
believing that there is some magic in
the Governments decree, sought in
vain since Missionaries dreamed of the
purse of Portunatus, went in quest of
FL Dorado, or invoked the power Of
Midas.
And this motley crew, Selling the
staunch old Democratic ship, will
swarm her decks and set her sails
straight for the reefs. They will tear
down the old flag and nail to the mast
an alien device, under which they will
steer to disgrace and disaster.

1t affords us pleasure to welcome
the Winchester Press to the ranks Of

of the fact that friend, 7. Fl. Cos

free SILVER and Cheap wheat.

The evil day Of the western grower
has now come. The wheat growers Of
Russia and Argentina are undertaking
him and driving him from the market.
Silver is not doing it, but these compet-
itors are by offering their wheat at a
lower price. They were influencing its
price long before the silver agitation
began, and they will continue to infiu-
ence it whatever our government may
do with silver. This country is not the
entire commercial world, and, much as
we may wish it, cannot by any juggling
with silver advance by l cent a bushel
the price Of wheat in the markets of the
woodland for the very obvious reason
that foreign buyers are not dependent
on our market. -Philadelphia Ledger.

Every Democratic speaker to whom
we have listened during the present
campaign asserts that the Republican
party favors the "SINGLE gold stan
dard and proposes to strike down sill
yer as money" The assertion is a
lie out Of the whole cloth and the par
ties telling it do SO either wilfully or
because Of dense ignorance. The Re-
publican party not only fayors the
use of silver as money but declared at
St. Louis in favor of international
b~imetallism and the "EXISTING
gold standard" which is defined by
Mr.. Mckinley to mean the use Of
gold, silver and paper, each the equal
of the other in debt-paying and pur-
chasing power, that is, the present
standard.
