MONEY ISSUE ABOVE THE TARIFF.
So Says Andrew Carnegie, Who States
the Reasons Why.

following result
Q. What is the one thing needful for this
country? A. The one thing necdful, and
at home and for the world abroad that we
are to tread the path Of honor and OF good
policy-that is, that the dollar Of the Re-
public shall mean 81 in gold, worth its
to be done by subordinating all other is
sues TO that. Sink parties-no man should
be either a Republican or a Democrat but
patriot, and insist that this coming cam
paign shall settle for all time the question
of standard value in this country.
o DO you attribute the great depressions
and panics that have occurred Ia the last
few years to the agitation of a reduction
in the standard Of value?
A. / do. All other causes combined have
not affected the country TO the extent that
this has. 1t is fundamental nothing is set
tied unless this is settled. and no genuine
prosperity Is possible Capital at home
equally with capital abroad has become

which create prosperity until IL Is settled
that the American people borrowing 81 in
gold will return 81. and not seek TO defraud

Q. What about thetariff?

effective campaigner. He possesses the
remarkable faculty of carrying statistics
in his head, and the power to use them.
He does not affect the orator by making
rounded periods and ending them with a
rising infection. His sentences are short
and clear. He speaks with the anima-
ton which comes of conviction, and with
force which holds the listener by its
candor and earnestness. Mr.. Mount,
while he points out the mistakes and in
capacity of his opponents, does not stop
to denounce them. If the Republican
saint is not edited by the verbal casti-
cation of the unbeliever. the latter Is not
so offended that he forgets the truth he
has heard. Men Of wider. reputation

A letter is published from Hon. Carl
Schurz declaring his conviction that
a sound and stable standard of value is
the absolute prerequisite of general and
lasting prosperity He thinks no remedy
for the present business paralysis will be
lastingly effective las long as the Amer
lean dollar is not in essence and reputa-
ton an honest dollar, and does net, at
home as well as in the commerce Of the
world, stand as firm in value as the
English pound sterling or the German
mark" Mr.. Schurz thinks German
Americans will be practically solid
against free silver. I'm former years of
my political activity" he says, II have
had frequent occasion to work for the
cause of honest money in different parts
OF the country. and 1t has always been
my experience that the German-Amer-
lean citizens stood in mass sternly
against every movement for bad money"

Several Democratic papers have crit
icised Mr.. Mount because he sold his
wool to deeler to be sent out Of the
State instead of finding an Indiana WOOL
en- manufacturer and selling it to him.
II the editors are half intelligent they
know that wool Is generally sold to deal
ers In the vicinity. and not to manufac-
turers direct. AS to the wool sold by
Mr.. Mount. 1t Is OF variety which is not
manufactured by any factory in Indiana.
Such criticism is childish and will de-
ceive no grown person.

No Patent. ON Great Inventions.

4ide4is
II YOU look back on the history OF human
progress you will find that none OF the great
epoch-making inventions has ever been pat
ented. The man who lit the first fire
whether Prometheus or the party from
whom he stole the idea-did not get patent
for IL. Neither did the man who made the
first wheel-in every sense one OF the most
revolutionary inventions in the history OK
man. The same may be said or the inven-
ton of soap. candles. gunpowder. umbrellas
and the mariners compass; or, 70 come down
TO our own day. OF the steam engine and the
electric telegraph.
patents are mostly concerned with small
mechanical details and improvements-1e
may be in candles or umbrellas, or II may
be in the application Of steam and electric
ity-and by means of these patents enormous
profits have been secured to second-rate In
ventors but the great ideas and discoveries
which underlie these details have been given
20 the world gratis.
There is a general notion that II you did
not protect inventions by means Of patents
inventors would cease TO invent. and ma
terial progress would come 70 standstill.
But history does not bear this out In the
least. Men with great mechanical gifts do
not exercise them solely with view 10 COM
mercial profit, any more than astronomers
search the heavens for new worlds with an
eye to registering patents and hoatine COM
panies on the results OF their discoveries.
