EDITORIAL HOT SHOT.

From the GlObe-DemOcrat.
People go to see Bryan rather than
to hear him, as he will discover when
the votes are counted.
McKinley's speeches grow better as
the campaign progresses, because he
has the advantage of advocating
things that are true and right and in
spring.
Palmer and Buckner are not run
ming at very rapid gait, but they
are going fast enough to keep good
many votes away from Bryan in To-
calities where he sadly needs them.
1t is impossible to find in the record
of any great American statesman
a word in favor of the cheating of
creditors and the wronging of wage
earners in the way proposed by the
silverites.
The gold Democrats of New York
have nominated a full state ticket of
their own, and the country need not be
surprised if it gets more votes than
the one headed by Hills man Thatch-
er.
When Gov. Altgeld declares that
free silver would be a great blessing
to the people, he does not explain
how those of them who are renting
from him on gold contracts would be
benefited.
Mr. Bryan is about to transfer his
gabfest from the long-suffering east
to the patient and enduring west. He
will bay the moon in the Occident to
the end of the campaign /. And may
the Lord have mercy on the poor old
moon.
There is some reason to believe that
Senator Hill regrets having made
that speech in the Chicago cOnven,
ton, but the fact remains that nc
Democrat has made better one in ia,
vor of the maintenance of the gold
| standard.
| BTyan's talk about the continuance
of the free silver. agitation after his
defeat in November emphasizes the
importance of overwhelming him with
a majority that will put a permanent
stop to the crusade against honest
| money.
Billy Bryan, the father of misquot
! ers. is at it again. He says in his

vised third, more subtle and ingen-
ious, which has captivated and beguiled
no small part of the American people
namely, the so called free coinage Of
silver, with the legal tender attachment.
1t is difficult, therefore, in the face
of such undisputable facts, to resist the
conclusion that this whole silver agita-
ton, which, as before shown, is not
manifesting itself in any like degree in
any other country, is the result of a ras-
cally conspiracy of the silver mining
magnates of the west and certain poll
ticians whose aspirations are conferred
in the attainment of Office and spoils.
The exactions of the former further to
increase their great fortunes have al
ready cost the government and the peo-
pie of the United States thousands of
millions of dollars. If no silver mines
had ever been discovered in this coun-
try, or, if discovered, the government
had bought and closed them up, there
never would have been any silver agita-
ton in the country.
Have there ever been such selfish and
unpatriotic schemes palmed off in mod
ern times on the people of any country2
Ought not every sensible American citi-
zen who has given, or is still giving,
aid and countenance to such a scheme
to blush for the disgrace and loss which
it has entailed upon his beloved country
and its government?

THE CAUSE OF CRIME
ABLE ADDRESS DELIVERED BE-
FORE THE PRISON CONGRESS.
Prosperity and Not Poverty Given as the
CONSIDERATIONS on Observing
Prison Sunday"

Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 30-At last
nights session of the prison congress
the Rev. Samuel G.. Smith, lectured
on sociology and spoke on the crime in
its relations to economics. Mr..
Smith in starting out said that sta
tistics taken ip England showed that
crime was greater during the eras of
prosperity than during the time of
depression of business. This, he said
was in part explained by the fact ,nat
during the times of prosperity drunk
enness and dissipation led up to the
committing of crimes. He said that
the supposition that crime has in
creased in the United States while it
had decreased in Europe was entire
ly a fallacy. His observation had
shown that the greatest quantity of
crime was committed by the most adj
vanced and morally, most progressive
nations, For instance, the English
man was much more addicted to
crime than the east Indian. This was
due to the fact that the east Indian
was one of the old nations, satisfied
to go along in his established way.
He did not take to drink and as re-
suit did not seek the paths which led
away from law and order.
The following resolution, offered by
+. G. Pettigrew, of Boston, was unan-
imously adopted:
Whereas, Sunday, Oct. 25th, 1896,
has been designated as Prison Sun
day,
BE it resolved that the National
Prison association earnestly request
all clergymen in the United States
and Canada, to preach sermon or
hold service on or near that day in
the interest of prison reform and the
prevention of crime"
Resolved, that the wardens and SUI
perintendents of prisons and refor-
matories who publish newspapers,
are requested to publish a prison
Sunday edition on October 18th, and
TO circulate it among the clergymen
in their respective states.

Stamp Would Add No Value.

What would be the value of paper
money if the government offered to put
its seal upon all paper brought to it,
giving pound of paper money for a
pound of paper? The operation of the
free. coinage of silver would be perfectly
analogous, except that the paper would
be defaced by the process of printing,
while silver would remain unchanged
in value. Under free coinage pound
Of dollars and pound of bullion must
be of the same value. A pound of silver
dollars is now worth more than pound
of silver bullion only because the gov
eminent has monopoly of the manu-
facture of silver dollars and it limits the
supply and it is also committed to
maintaining the dollars at par in gold.
But if it agrees to puts its stamp upon
all the silver brought to it its monopoly
disappears, the quantity becomes indefi-
mite, and the government is of course re-
leased from the obligation to maintain
their value above what it really is, and
the silver dollar must circulate at its
bullion value, just as the gold dollar
does Consequently no class of persons
would be so astonished and disappointed
by the results of free coinage as the
mine owners, who imagine that under
free coinage their bullion would be
transmitted at the mint into dollars
worth what silver dollars are now
worth. of Commerce and Com

Keen Your Nose On.

Workingmen who are being urged to
vote for free silver to get even with
your employer" should think twice be-
fore trying to injure the men for whom
they work. Cutting off his nose to spite
his face is good joke for worker,
compared with voting for policy which
will close the factories and force the
employees into idleness merely for the
sake Of hurting the factory owners
There are not many spiteful working
men in this country, but even if there
were they would be very foolish to
throw themselves out of employment in
order to be revenged on the men who
pay their wages.

What Free Coinage Means.

What does free coinage" as it is
called, mean? 1t does not mean that the
government would buy any of the sill
yer; not an ounce. The government
would simply receive the silver from its
owner, stamp it and hand it back to
him. Does this create any demand for
silver?
Buckwheat -four is now used to a
limited extent for food. The demand
for buckwheat flour is entirely due to
this fact Would opening new buck
wheat -four mill create any demand for
buckwheat? Certainly not, any more
than the reaping and thrashing did.
These are all simply steps in preparing
the supply. The market would still
have to be found in competition with
other kinds of -four. Hon. ]. T. Nc.
