M'KINLEY's "PooR MONEY

In one Of his recent speeches to n
crowd of admiring visitors, Hannas
man, Mckinley. said:
II cannot imagine any interest that
can be permanently subserved by hav-
ing poor money"
Since the campaign was opened the
gold standard candidate at Canton has
given to the country numerous gems Of
purest nonsense, but the one here quoted
Is particularly bright and sparkling. 1t
must have required great deal of moral
courage for him to stand before q null
titude of visiting brethren and boldly
give utterance to such a tremendous
truth. But the mortgaged major was
equal to the occasion. Strong and vivid
as is his imagination in most directions,
he finds 1t impossible to imagine any in
terest that can be permanently sub
served by having poor money" 1t
might be supposed that man who can
imagine protection robbery, a gold
standard and governed by plutocracy
to be best for the people as whole, could
imagine almost anything. But It seems
that there is limit to the majors ro-
mantle imagination-for he says go.
Seriously, we would ask who does
imagine that poor money" would bene-

or temporarily subserve any legitimate
interest? Can the goldbug candidate
name one person who wants poor
money" or has ever asked for It? What

does Hanna's man mean by poor
money!" Any early response to each of
these interrogatories will, If received, he
promptly printed in The Herald for the
benefit of anxious thousands.
Presumably the Canton orator consid-
ers the silver dollar poor money" There
was time, however, and not long ago,
when William f-the-tariff thought sill
yer dollars were good enough money for
anybody. He so declared publicly, and
also denounced all attempts that had
been made or might be made to degrade
such money. The same kind of money
was also held in high esteem by all the
leaders and statesmen of every great
party that has figured In American poll
tics. Not until quite recently has the
idea that silver coin Is poor money"
become prevalent. 1t originated with
few shrewd. greedy spectators in gold.
1t has spread among many honest peo-
pie. whose intellects are led astray by
designing knaves. If the government
will treat silver at it treats gold, making
no discrimination against the white
metal. the silver dollar will always be so
good that everybody will want it-not to
hoard away, but to pay debts with and
to exchange for labor products.
The spectacle of a presidential candi-
date publicly prattling about full legal
tender coin being poor money" sug-
gests the fear that such a candidate
would make very poor" president,
and so he would. Hence it is highly prob
able that the people will decide to let him
remain in Canton while William ]. Bry-

them by the Mexican government for
the operation of the Tehuantapec road
for al ternt of years.
BY the building Of this connecting

QUEEN OF THE NURSERY.
Augusta Victoria Did Not Approve Of
Her Sons Canoeing.

An amusing little story Is told in q
contemporary which shows that the
German emperor Is not all powerful in
his own house. However autocratic he
may be in dealing with the German
army or the German parliament. he is
compelled to bend before the will of his
wife in domestic matters. Poultney
Bigelow, who tells the story, it seems
presented to him, a short time ago, q
little canoe of American build. The
emperor was delighted with 1t and made
MI. Bigelow sail it up and down in front
of the palace gardens at Potsdam "All
my boys" said he, shall be canoeists,"
a remark which greatly pleased Mr.
Bigelow, who is a canoeing enthusiast.
But the opinion of the empress had yet
to be learned. She spoke to Mr.. Bigelow
about the canoe, and he expatiated upon
the delights Of shooting down q swift
stream between threatening rocks and
through foaming rapids. The empress
failed to appreciate the delights "Oh,
MOI" she said. that is too dangerous.
I shall never allow my children in a
canoe" But" said Mr.. Bigelow, 'the
emperor has already given his con-
sent" THAT may be-" replied the em-
press, sending smile in her husbands
direction. "He may be the emperor Of
Germany. but am the empress Of the

LABOR IN JAPAN !.

Labor in Japan is organized, and
Japanese appears to pin his faith to the
utility of unions and guilds. These are
organized, according to United States
Consul Connolly, not alone to secure
higher wages, but also to protect inferior
work. These organizations dictate
terms in the payment of labor, and also
for whom a laborer shall or shall not
work. Skilled labor in Japan Is SO scarce
that by means of these unions laborers
are able to effect rapid increase in wages
more successfully than in any other
country. Although the amount paid for
labor in Japan is much lower than for
the same class of labor in the United
States the rates have risen enormously
in many cases as high as 100 per cent
during the past three years, and are adj
vancing now as steadily as at any pre-
vious time. No control is exercised in
the matter of the employment of child
labor in Japan, a question upon which
American statutes put strict interpre-
tation. Those in authority, however,
are coming to the idea that this point
should be regulated by statute, and that
child labor Of all kinds should be abol-
ished.

In his speech at Washington, Missouri,

AGAIN INDICATED

Mr.. Bryan can hardly be expected te
keep pace with the numerous canards
that a Jealous and inventive opposition
press is perpetually coming and propa-
eating. The most INSCRIPTIONS and un-
blushing of the Hannacrat organs have
been at pains to circulate all manner Of
falsehoods concerning the Democratic
candidate, and even when confronted
with explicit and irrefutable evidence
have continued to shamelessly wallow in
their morass of lies. The Los Angeles
Times has endeavored to outstrip it,
contemporaries in this contemplate and
miserable warfare. No doubt had the
colossal inventor of falsehoods, whose
name degrades the paper in question
seen the Associated Press dispatch pub
lished in yesterdays Times giving Bry-
ans plain and positive denial to lie
that the Times had thrice glorled in pub
fishing concerning the pension system
he would have struck it out. Happily
1t escaped him, and the Times has at last
been driven to stultify itself by pub
fishing Bryan's own denial of authorship
to an article which the Times has on
three occasions deliberately and OF
malice prepense attributed to him.
Still more dangerous than the lie d.
rect are the half-truths circulated with
evil intent by the Hannacrats. In order
to deceive the country into the belief
that Bryan voted for Weaver in 1892 be-
cause he was Populist, they have tor
tured and prominently repeated the
story. Twelve citizens made affidavit
that - Lo -
Weaver. but that 1t was in order to as
sist Cleveland. The following state
ment showing that Bryan voted for
Weaver upon the advice OF Harrity,
then chairman of the national executive
committee and others who were at the
head Of the party councils at that time
but now have deserted 1t for false gold
god, will be read with interest.
The statement is made by Senator
Faulkner. 1t follows:
Il have submitted the inquiry con-
corning Mr. Bryan's vote for Weaver in
1892 to Senator German, who was q
member of the Democratic campaign
committee in that year. He says that the
national committee, Of which Mr.. Will
lam F. Harrity was chairman, with Mr.
Don M. Dickinson chairman Of the cam
paign committee, determined to request
all the Democrats in Nebraska and the
states west thereof to unite with the
Weaver people in carrying these states,
SO as to prevent Harrison from receiving
electoral votes in Nebraska, Idaho, Mon
tana. Wyoming. Oregon, Nevada and
California. and. as rule, the Demo-
Gratis followed the request of the Demo-
cratic national committee. .
I'm addition to this, the New York
World made an appeal for special SUBJ
scription to carry out the plan of cam
paign determined on by the Democratic
committee. Therefore, whatever Mr.
Bryan or any other Democrat did in the
support of Weaver was at the request
of the national Democratic committee

sang very we'll as Valentine, in Mr.. De-
lamotta. Mr.. Kyle gave us a thorough
ly acceptable Captain Merrimac, and
Mr.. Huntley was at home as the foppish
Duke. Daise Thorne sang the music
of the role Of the Countess very well
indeed, and Mr.. Ludwig was all that
could be desired as the Seneschal. Mr..
Mason was very funny as Coquilicot and
Miss Bensons shapeliness gave an add
ed interest to the impersonation of Mou-
stique. The chorus has been admirably
trained, and has plenty Of vocal volume
and quality. The costumes are good,
and altogether the performance is one
well worthy Of seeing. Olivette will be

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Senator David Turpie of Indiana made
a speech at Terre Haute recently, and
was called upon by the Republican Gold
and Silver club of Vigo county to answer
the following interesting questions:
Question No. Twill you be kind
enough to explain why the Republican
party in 1888 condemned the Democrat
ic administration for making an effort
to demonetize silver, and declared in
favor of the use of both gold and silver
as money, and in 1892 also demanded
the use of both metals as standard
money without reference to internation-
al agreement, and the present platform
declares against the free coinage of sill
yer except by agreement with other ma
tions of the world?
Question No Eff it is a fact that
the purchase of silver by the govern
ment and the coinage of this silver has
stopped and we are at present limited
20 the purchase and coinage of gold,
will not this condition tend to increase
the demand for gold?
Question No. 3-Senator Sherman
said in the United States senate in 1890
in support of the Sherman silver pur-
chasing act, that we require more than
$42. .000.000 new money every year to
keep pace with the population and in
6ustry. How are we to provide for this
of gold as standard money?
Question No. 4-If our redemption
money and interest paying money be-
comes scarce. will not this money de-
mand more products and labor of the
country:
Senator Turpie replied to the ques-
tions substantially as follows:
No. my answer to this question is
that at the times mentioned the man
agement of the Republican party was
not under the exclusive control of the
gold trust. and at the time of the St.
Louis convention of 1896 the manage
merit of that party had fallen complete
ly into the hands of the gold trust.
Hence the Republican party receded
from it's time Ilonored record of friend
Illness to silver and fell into the hands of
the single gold standard advocates.
No. 2-Undoubtedly this will tend to
increase the demand for gold because
1T will be the only money for Anal re-
demption, which function was previous
ly performed by both gold and silver,
and this would result in the unearned
increment OF all debt
