GOLD AND SILVER.
Ex-President Harrison Discusses Our
Monetary System.

Ex-President Harrison Discusses Our
Monetary System.
Ever since the resumption of specie
payments, in 1879, the treasury has
paid gold for greenbacks when gold
was demanded, and has redeemed, in
the same way, the treasury notes is
sued under the Sherman law. The
Secretary of the Treasury has never
exercised the discretion given him to
redeem the latter notes in silver
holding that his discretion was limited
to such a use of silver as would not
destroy the parity Of the gold and sill
yer dollars. And our Secretaries have
been right, 1 think, in holding that the
parity of our gold and silver coins
will be destroyed the moment the Cow
eminent takes from the holder of a
greenback or treasury note the cleo
ton of the coin he will receive in ex-
change for it. If he wants gold, and
silver is thrust upon him. the latter is
deprecated and the former apprecia-
ted. If the holder of United States
note cannot get gold at par for it he
must have to meet a gold obligation.
A premium on gold would at once
drive gold out of circulation, for a
coin that is at a premium cannot be
used in trade. No one is bound to pay
gold to the government for any tax or
other debt due it. So that practi-
cally the situation is this: The Treas
ury holds itself bound to give gold to
everyone presenting United States
note, and has no way of compelling
any one to pay gold to it. Such gold
as II gets comes from persons who
choose to take paper money for gold
deposited at the minis or assay offices,
or to pay in gold coins some govern
ment tax. Formerly all duties upon
imports were payable only in gold.
Now when the gold reserve gets low it
can only be restored by the sale of
bonds, under the powers given to the
secretary in the legislation relating to
the resumption of specie payments

HEAVY CORN MOVEMENTS.

Wichita, Kan, July 27.-The week
Just closed has witnessed the liveliest
grain trade in the southern and CEN
trail section of Kansas, that these sec
tons have experienced in years. Just
now the bulk Of the old corn from this
section is going to ST. Louis and New
Orleans, but dealers from northern.
eastern and southern points are all
buying heavily. The shipments, while
enormous, do not in any sense repre-
sent the business done. as a very large
amount of corn has been contracted
for but is held awaiting cars. The
great bulk of the corn is in unrOofed
cribs and on account Of the recent
heavy rains it is too wet to shell.

the other side were neither fools
nor traitors"

GRAIN RATE wAn CONTINUES.

Kansas City. July 27.-The grain
rate war, which has been waged for
the past week. will, according to the
statements of several leading traffic
men of this city. practically be con-
cluded when the next cut in rates is
made. This, il is anticipated. will &C.
cur within a few days at the most.
One Oft active lines wired from
Chicago to its local representative
asking what rate would be required
on wheat TO haul it to Chicago mar
kets> as against the southern ports.
The reply was that it would require
8 cents per hundred pounds fiat. 1t Is
believed that such a rate will be put
in possibly today. That rate is less
than actual cost and il is thought
few of the lines will care to maintain
it for any great length of time. When
business is done at loss il will be a
matter Of short time to get managers
into conference for a settlement 1t
is useless at this time to discuss
compromise. 1t is stated now that
the rate fight is to be fought to fin
ish.

THE KANSAS SCHEME.
The Pops and Democrats Will Unite as
One Body.

KANSAS CITY, July 27.-Rela-
tive TO the fusion Of the Kansas
Democrats and Populists the
Times prints an interview with ex-
Congressman VIM. A. Harris, in
which he is quoted as saying:
"The Kansas plan 10 for the Pop
ulists in their state convention at
Abilene, August 5, to indorse
Bryan and Sewall and the electors
whom the Democrats will name at
Hutchinson. on the preceding
day. It is generally understood
there will be fusion in Kansas
this year, although there has been
no conference on the subject, and
consequently no plans have been
formulated, but fusion is in the
air. We will nominate our caDdi-
dates for state offices and then tel.
egraph the Democrats the result.
They will indorse our nominees
and we will indorse theirs."
Ex-Congressman Jerry Simpson,

ing the interview, is quoted as
saying that there was nothing else
to do but accept such plan, and
ex-Congressman JEFF Hudson
voiced the same sentiment.
Today, under Topeka date, the
Times prints an interview with
x-United States Senator John
Martin, who approves Of the plan
as far as it goes. He, however,
would have conference committees
appointed by the Hutchinson and
Abilene conventions to arrange the
details.
The Populist Ex-Governor Lew
cling, OF Kansas, in a published
interview, also approves OF the
plan of fusion.
Senator Pfeffer was interviewed
as he passed through the city en-
route home from the st. Louis
convention, and said:
"The mass of the Populist party
wishes to zee VIM. j. Bryan the
next president, and no matter
what differences of opinion may
arise nothing can prevent him
from carrying every southern
state. He will also carry every
western state"
Then he added slowly: "He will
also carry Kansas by 10000 major
ity."
