DISLOYAL UTTERANcES

It Is to be hoped that the spirit Of 10y
atty to the principles of the government
will brood over the bosses Of the Re-
publican party on flag day." For a
month or more they have been crying
that Bryan's election would mean polit-
ical and social chaos, and that some
thing worse than anarchy would per-
wade every walk of life. If they were
not themselves disloyal to the very core,
they would not talk that way. So far
as the government is concerned, it will
stand, no matter who is elected. More
than 10000, 900 Of people are behind the
nation, and Hanna and his crowd can no
more overturn it than they could carry
themselves about the country by their
bootstraps.
If Bryan Is elected, which he will be, it
will be because more than one-half of
the people of the J.lited States want him
for president; and if Mckinley is elected
1t will be because the majority Of the
people prefer him to Bryan; but in any
event 1t will be the voice and the will
Of the people that is reflected in their
choice. 1t is, therefore, a bit of impu-
dence on the part of Hanna & Co. to tell
the people that unless they vote as Nc
Kinley's managers dictate, the coun-
try will go to the demnition bow-wows.
The Herald believes that the majority
of the people are on the side of Bryan,
but no matter on which side they finally
array themselves, it will be the honest
expression Of public sentiment, and the
people are the rulers.
Therefore, when any one says that the
election of Bryan, Mckinley, or any one
else, will result in the overthrow Of the
government, tell him he is liar and a
traitor. The man who Shall be elected
will have the vote of the majority of the
sovereigns of the nation and the sup
port of all the people SO long as he obeys
their wishes. The people are mightier
than political parties, and they may be
trusted to the uttermost. Mr.. Hanna
and his monopolistic following belittle
the intelligence. loyalty and stability
of the people, when they talk about this,
that or the other man being more power
full for evil than 70,oO0,000 Americans
are for good.

VERY DIVERGENT REPORTS
All Sent Out on the Very Best Of An
thority
One Great Fact Stands Out Clear and
Uncontradicted: Lord Paunce-
fote Called on Ofney.

Associated Press Special Wire
WASHINGTON. Oct. 23-Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British ambassador.
called at the state department today.
1t being cabinet day Sir Julian and Sec
retary Olney had only ten minutes con-
ference. The ambassador carried a large
roll Of document, which he left for the
careful perusal of the secretary. The
bulk Of the documents seemed to be
data respecting the extent of British
individual interests in the disputed
boundary territory, Information which
Secretary Olney has all along sought
from the British side. If this trouble
some phase of the boundary dispute can
be adjusted satisfactorily there Is little
doubt the main question in dispute
can be surely settled.
1t can be stated authoritatively that
the proposal that Sir Julian Pauncefote
Is authorized by the British foreign Of
fee and that 1t embraces both the Ven-
ezuelan boundary question and the
question of a general treaty between
England and the United States whereby
all future disputes may be submitted to
arbitration. The nature of the propos-
ais is such that the dispute over Ven
ezuela Is much nearer final solution
than at any time since the trouble be-
gan.
It can be stated positively that no
notes o negotiations Of any kind have
passed between Secretary. Olney and
Lord Salisbury since June 22d last, al
though reports to the contrary have ap-
peared. The present negotiations will
be resumed at the point where they were
suspended at that date. Mr.. Olney's
final proposal, on June 22d, was, so far as
Venezuela was concerned, it should be
embraced in a treaty Of arbitration sep
arate from the general treaty Of arbitra-
tion. He insisted, however, that Ven
ezuelan arbitration was prerequisite
to any general arbitration and that the
arbitration should be final and embrace
all the territory in dispute. settled as
we'll as unsettled. Great Britain being
opposed to including the settled districts.
In view Of the statement Of the foreign
Office that the proposals about to be
made give hope Of a final settlement, 1t
seems likely that Lord Salisbury's ans
wer to Mr.. Olney's propositions Of June
22d will be favorable or in line of COM
promising the differences Of the de-
tails.
The call of Sir Julian Pauncefote on
Secretary Olney today was one Of cour-
tesy to present his respects after his
arrival and the question of arbitra-
ton was not taken up except that ar
rangements were made for a formal
meeting at the earliest moment Mr.. Oh
ney might suggest.

THE MONEY QUESTION

If Major Mckinley were familiar with
the st. Louis platform he would not tell
visiting delegations that the Republican
party is pledged to bimetallism. The
word "bimetallism' does not appear
anywhere in his party's declaration of
principles, but, on the contrary, the
pledge is clear and distinct to main
tain the gold standard until the other
nations agree to join with the United
States in reinstating silver to its old po-
sition as money metal Had the lead
ers of Major McKinley's party not been
well satisfied that such an international
agreement was impossible no mention
would have been made of it. The Re
publican party demonetized silver when
it's commercial value was higher than
gold for the one and the only purpose of
preventing larger volume of circulat-
ing medium than the money syndicates
could control. Had the prospect for a
larger output of gold been promising and
a shrinkage or at least no increase in the
production of the white metal been en-
couraging, gold and not silver would
have been demonetized. The whole pur-
pose was to prevent volume of money
too large for Wall and Lombard streets
to manipulate.
1t is nonsense, therefore, for the lead
ers of the Republican party to claim that
they directly or indirectly favor the
coinage of silver into redemption money
AS for international bimetallism, it is
a snare and a delusion. There Is no
such thing as international money, nor
could there be, hence it is absurd to talk
about international bimetallism. The
commerce of the nations could agree to
make a given quantity of gold and of
silver a unit of money and accept which
ever one was offered in the settlement
of International trade balances, but why
should the commerce of other countries
want such an agreement with a debtor?
Do not let us lose sight of the fact that
the business men of Europe are endowed
with a good deal of common sense, and
that they are not likely to be party to
an agreement which would weaken their
hold upon us. 1t is estimated that fully
s., 900, 900 of foreign capital is invest
ed in this country in interest and divi-
dend paying enterprises. Is it likely
that these investors are going to will
ingly enter into an agreement that
would weaken the purchasing power of
their income?
Hundreds of millions of dollars go
from the United States every year to
pay trade balances, and interest and
dividends on investments, and the
scarcer money Is the more will the
amount Of our bills payable buy in the
commodity markets. Therefore, be-
cause the single gold standard widens

Gold is the standard of value and the

dollars are held to be as good as gold
because the Republican party has made
them redeemable in gold. Silver is not
money of redemption nor has it been

CAN'T Foo1 THE Fa RmERs.

Some of the tinid ones fear that Bry- an is fooling the farmers. They don't know the farmers. An Illinois farmer, poor and one of the plainest of his class, was asked the other day what argu- ment of the campaign had impressed him most. He replied: Wal, how can you bank on man who tells us that if we have free silver we can pay our debts a great deal cheaper, and at the same time tells us that the law will raise the 53-cent dollar to a 100-cent dollar?"
 Farmers do a great deal of thinking while wrestling with the earth. And they think as straight as any of "the classes to which Bryan is appealing with arguments that wouldn't fool even the infant class.

NOT LIKE WEBSTER.

Mir. Bryan's enthusiastic admirers take delight in telling the world that he is like Lincoln, Webster, and other really great men, and he has not yet denied it. But there is con- siderable evidence that his admirers are overdoing it. For instance, Web ster was totally different from him in some of his characteristic ideas. Once upon time Webster said: The natur- al hatred of the poor against the rich!' ''The danger of moneyed aristocra- cyl" "A power as great and dan gerous as that resisted by the revolu- tion!'' "A call to 8 new Declaration of Independence!" Sir. I admonish the people against the object of outcries like these. I admonish every industri- ous laborer in the country to be on his
