Here is a brief and simple catechism
for sound money Democrats:
"Do you want to beat Bryan?"
eff you want to beat Bryan, do you
know of any other way of doing il than
by electing Mckinley
"If you want TO beat Bryan, and don't
know Of any other way of doing il than
by electing Mckinley, why don't you
take your coat of and wade in and elect
Mckinley
Answers to these interrogatories are

what Mckinley Has Done.

What did he do! Consider sugar boun-
ties, for one thing. If the law had been
allowed TO remain as he drew il Nebras-
ka by this time would have teemed with
beet-sugar manufactures. every one
hello to the farmers, and the soil of
Nebraska is better for sugar beets than
that of Germany-only needs good
start 10 establish an enormous and in
valuable industry. The Mckinley duty
on barley caused the raising of millions
of bushels additional TO the average Of
former crops, and this reduced sensibly
the excess of wheat production. This is
an example of what we mean by the di-
versifed industry that the protective sys-
TEN promotes We want more of il, and
that is McKinleyism.
Why are wheat and butter down? As
to wheat: The use of agricultural ma
chinery and the Improvement in trans
portntion has cheapened labor and ex-
tended available territory. Argentina is
a prodigious wheat field. The soil is
admira ble the rivers are deep, the plains
give full sweep 10 the machinery, the rail-
roads have nothing else TO do than car
nv the wheat 10 market and the steamers
carry the grain TO Liverpool IN huge car
goes. Sailing vessels whose sails are
pulled about by steam. saving hands,
cheaper the cost of putting down Ar
gentina wheat in Liverpool, Egypt, India,
Canada. Russia. compete with us In the
wheat market of Western Europe. The
world is a sort Of countrS neighborhood.
What is the matter with butter? Let
tho price of butter go up in New York
TO % or 80 cents pound-a living can
no made producing butter at those fig-
ures-what happens? A cable message
goes to Australia and there are ship
ments of thousands Of tons of excellent
butter at once. And Il can be placed
in New York and profitably sold at II
cents pound. IL cannot be produced
in New York at those figures. This IL
lustration is not imaginary. The trans
notions supposed have occurred recently.
What is the remedy? We can answer
confidently that the coinage of more
silver dollars will not be a help. We
ought 10 raise our own barley, our own
hons, our own eggs, chickens. onions
and potatoes. 10 make our own sugar
and our own tinplate. so as to give the
advantage Of our own markets. the most
valuable in the world or that ever were

-ion Of articles we have Just named
would turn over TO American working
mon 100. O0O.O 600 Of gold dollars annually.
and then custom wond improve the
value of the farms. There II no patent
nostrum about this. Our records are
full of the proof furnished by our own
experience. The host thing the farm
or can do Is to try McKinleyism.

sinking partizanship? On this issue
there is certainly no partizanship in the
Republican party. 1t is party for the
whole country, as it has ever sought to
be. Its platform is a defense to national
honor. What does Mr.. WHITNEY
want the Repu blican party to do when
he says that 1t ought TO "welcoms sound
money Democrats to non-partizan
union?" Does 1t want the Republican
party TO add another plank to its plat
form declaring that 1t renounces every
tenet except that OF sound money? Is
that what Mr.. WHITNEY would like to
have done-to further a -partizanship
union? Unfortunately for that propos-
tion there are other principles and poll
cies OF Importance to the welfare of the
country besides that OF honest money,
even though such may be temporarily
subordinated.

that seeks thus to bring them 10 sure
ruinf The venders of the silver nostrum
do not deny that its first effect Will be
deadly. They only pretend that after
the killing 1t will resuscitate the corpse
and infuse new vitality into it. But
suppose that the silver juggler, whose
ability to kill Is undoubted and unques-
tionable, should fail to resurrect? Where
should we be then?
III business has got to be killed and all
enterprise annihilated before the financial
quacks can begin to experiment with
their vaunted silver restorative, sensible
people will be likely to conclude that 1t
Is better TO cling to the life they have
already. A man may come out OF n dam
gerous disease into better health than
ever. hut disease Is not popular on that
account. IL Is said that sometimes small
nox even, wnen II has been carefully
treated, results in improving the COM
plexion, but IL is not for that reason
fashionable among women as a sub
stitute for cosmetics.
The debasement or the currency would
produce both immediate and future dis
aster to business. There might be tenn
porary stimulation after the panic was
over and the business wreck complete,
but ii would be followed by another
panic and by succession of panics.
Every value would be disturbed and
every man in the country would be the
sufferer.

GEORGE J. WEST.

The news OF the death OF GEORGE j.

town, especially to the wide circle of
men OF affairs and Of politics, among
whom be has for so long been a promi-

that death should have SO early overcome
the unusually sturdy and vigorous

MIR. WEST developed himself TO posi-.
tion OF influence In his profession and in
public affairs, from the humblest cir
cumstances. His early life was marked
by hardship and poverty. The possession
of traits by which men make themselves,
backed by a strong constitution that
seemed never to know fatigue enabled

and then by seemingly rapid strides, until

MIR. John W. Davis, at one time Governor
OF Rhode Island, is reported as an adyo-
cate of n deprecated silver standard, and,
when asked what would be the consc-
quoDce OF the election OF Bryan, as say
ing this:
"Foreign capitalists would unload all
OF their holdings. undoubtedly and there
would tie great business panic"
As to that nseq uencc Of the free coin

opinion between the two slGes TO the
controversy. The first effect would be
disastrous TO business. There would be
great panic productive Of widespread
suffering. Those who foster and those
who oppose the financial revelation
agree IL that opinion.
That Is the certainty. MIR. Davis then
proceeds TO con njecture. lie guesses that
"when IL tthe business panic) was all
over there would be n readjustmcnt Of

WHY GOLD?

Why is gold the standard OF our
money--of the money OF all the leading
nations OF the earth?
Why, indeed? What is there so sacred
about gold that we should hug It so
closely?
There is nothing sacred about It. There
is no sentiment about the matter. Any
thing might be made standard. But
for very simple, practical, unsentimental
reasons gold is the best standard. Which
means that a certain weight OF gold.is
the best to measure by, better than sill
yer, iron, copper or any other metal.
And so 1t Is generally in use as n stand
ard. And gold has had as much to do
with making itself the money basis as
any legislative body OF aay country has
bad to do with making II. Indeed,
rather more.
Gold is the generally adopted standard
OF countries that are prosperous and
financially sound for the simple reason OF
convenience and expediency. Cola in
the first instance is commodity just
like silver, iron, copper, wheat, corn or
oats. IT is made a standard of the sound
enough OF 1t annually produced to serve
all the purposes OF a standard, because
its value as commodity is not incon-
veniently high and because that value in
market remains practically sxed, un-
changing from sun to sun, from season
to season, and from year TO yoar. The
value OF diamonds does not flactuate very
much but IL diamonds were made a
standard OF money value there would not
be enough OF them to serve the purpose,
and they would represent too much value
for handy figuring. SO about every
other commodity that you can think of
would have its disadvantages. Gold
comes more nearly to filing the dill than
anything else. Its production has kept
pace with the development of wealth and
population, so that the increasing de-
mand for its use in the arts, as well as
for standard Of money has not increased
the price In tho market. When q thing is
declared TO be "as good as goldu it means
not alone that the thing can command a
good price, but more than that.that the
value is Interchangeable, that the value
cannot be fooled with, that ii was, is.
and always shall be, so far as we can
as the retail merchant would say OF his
good goods.
Gold is not In general use for "money."
Very little is used in business transac-
tions. We don't buy groceries or steam
ships with 1t. it is what Is called
"primary money" only. There is not
enough OF II for general use and nobody
wants 1t for general use because any
thing smaller than o ten dollar gold
piece is inconveniently small. And so we
use paper and copper and "nickel" aud
silver for the biggest as for the common
est transactions. Dut there is gold
enought TO serve for a standard for AL
these transactions and II answers he pur-
pose very well---at all events better than
anything elso that has yet boon tried for
the purpose from wampum to silver.
