STRANGELY SENSITIVE

A subscriber sends to us a lengthy
letter containing much matter anent
the silver question, but the burden of
his song and his pre-eminent grievance
seems to. be the allegation that the
G o be has called the supporters of
Mr.. Bryan ..Populists." Now, we can
not, for the life of us, understand why
any gentleman who occupies that side
OF the political pasture should find
fault with that appellation We do not
know whether the G l o b e has ever ap-
piled the word to those who intend +o
vote for Mr.. Bryan or not, but it seems
to us most amusing performance that
Mr.. Bryan should seek, as he undoubt-
eddy did, the nomination of the Peoples
party; that Senator Jones and others
of his advisers should have been pres
ent at the national Peoples party con-
vention at st. Louis, just as represen-
tative Populists were present at Chi
cago to fix up deal by which the two
organizations should support a COM
mon ticket; and that either of them
should feel that his corns are trodden
upon by being classed with the other.
The platform adopted by the Chicago
convention differs from the Peoples
party platform practically in nothing.
1t omits reference to the federal control
and operation of railroads, but it has
some planks that will make UP for the
absence of that. 1t is very fair Peo-
pies party doctrine all through, and its
financial declaration. which Is the most
important one in this juncture, is in
essence Identical with that framed at
st. Louis. The Democrats of this

AT THE THEATERS.

Anybody who enjoys laughing away two
hours Of time can undergo this agreeable ex-
perience by witnessing performance of
"Charley's Aunt" That famously funny
farce vastly amused a large audience at the
Grand opera house last night If one were
disposed to be captious, it might be urged
that man dressed in womans clothes is not
the funniest, nor the newest thing in the
world. but the popularity of "Charley's
Aunt" is founded upon the novel purpose
for which the disguise is assumed and the
ludicrous predicaments into which Charley's
aunt" and the gentlemen who propose mar
riage to her find themselves. The farce is
not distinguished for refined or subtle wit,
but, on the other hand, the dialogue is never
coarse or indelicate. Its wit is broad and
obvious, and the situations are genuinely
laughable.
The company is acceptable, in the main, and
two of its members are more than acceptable.
'Charley's Aunt" has paid two previous
visits to st. Paul, but the actor who then
assumed the title role was not as successful
as John DAILY Murphy, who last night i'm
personated Charley's aunt from Brazil where
the nuts come FROM Mr.. Murphy possesses
the ideal physiognomy for the character, and
is, withal, a decidedly clever player. Arthur
Lay likewise contributed a spontaneous and
breezy impersonation Of Jack Chesney, one
Of the Oxford students Harry Lillford's char
acterization of the excitable old Spettigue
lacked color and force.
Grau's comic opera company will begin q
short engagement of opera at the Metropoli-
tan, for five nights and Saturday matinee
commencing Wednesday, Sept. 16, presenting
Tar and Tartar which will be seen for the
first time in st. Paul, and paul JONES'
another great success. Speaking of "Tar and
Tartar" the Buffalo Courier says:
The Tar and Tartar which had such a
phenomenal success in New York city, was
presented by Julius Grau and his associates
at the Star last night 1t was the first pres
entation in Buffalo, and a large audience
filled every seat in the house. Buffalo
audience Is seldom better pleased than the
one which heard the new opera last night"
The company includes Miss Alice Johnson,
prima donna soprano; Miss Alice earle, con-
tralto; Miss Gertrude Lodge, comedienne;
Robert Dunbar. late tenor with the Little
Tycoon" and Duff opera company; Sylvin
Langbois, baritone; Maurice Whish, basso;
Eddie Smith, Gilbert Clayton and Robert
Lett, comedians. The sale of seats opens this
morning.

made no secret of their arrangement
with the Peoples party. The entire
programme was arranged in advance
by committee in which both
parties were well represented and
the ticket to be agreed upon
was made up there. Places were
left vacant for the Populists to fill, In
exchange for their ratification of the
nominations made by Democrats.
Now, although the G l o b is not in
the business Of calling anybody names,
it would like to know why any mans
Indignation should be stirred by NAM
ing him a Populist if he has entered
into a close matrimonial alliance with
the Peoples party family.
The same gentleman processes to find
discrepancy between some comments
which he says were made editorially by
the G o b in 1886. upon letter Of Mr..
Moreton Frewen, and it's financial posi-
ton today. It is possible that that
may be true. Inasmuch as the man.
agement of the GIL o b e was entirely
different at that time, and as it has
changed hands and been thoroughly
reorganized, such a thing might
happen. At the same time it is
also true that reasonable view Of the
financial situation in 1896 would be
taken under conditions vastly different
ia
A man might have been excused for
believing, in 1886, that a larger use of
silver would be possible without ma
tional disaster. We had then had only
eight years of the operation of the
Bland law. The price of silver during
that year was practically 81 per ounce.
Today silver is about 66 cents per
ounce, and we have seen this fall in
price happen after four years
more of the Bland act and three
years of the Sherman act. Although a
great many people try to be prophets,
very few Of them succeed. Nobody
could have foreseen in 1886 the condi-
LUIS ClldI prevail LcIl years later.
While our opinion is and always has
been that free coinage by this
country alone, which is synony-
nous with silver monometallism, ought
not to be thought Of the reasons which
can be given for that faith in this year
of our Lord are immensely more nu-
merous and more convincing than
those that existed before the complete
trial Of our disastrous experiments in
trying the raise the price Of silver
by legislation. We are afraid that
our aggrieved friends sensitiveness on
the part of being mistaken for one Of
his present political yoke-fellows has
disturbed his capacity to view the stu
alton logically.

measures and policies. Ideas meet thus
other, and the brain where the disas-i
ter occurs Is entirely unconscious of
It, For instance, though noted before
1T Is worth reiterating, our silver
friends assert IN one breath that free
coinage will raise the price of silver
to $l.29 an ounce, measured by gold,
thus continuing the present standard.
and In the next breath declare that 1t
will raise the price of all commodities
by bring gold down to the silver level.
That these conditions cannot exist
together. that iff lone happens, the
other cannot and that, therefore,
the one statement antagonizes and de-
stroys the other, lis a fact Of which
they remain blissfully unconscious.
On the other side, the Republicans
are just as unconscious of the destruc
tive effect Of their own statements,
For recent Illustration, here Is the
sober and perfectly accurate assertion
OF the Pioneer Press that Legislation
can no more create values or change
the laws of trade than it can make
the earth fiat" It Is making argu-
ment against free coinage In the same
issue is an editorial to prove that there
is every probability that it's party will
control the senate and thus be able
to carry out both the monetary and
tariff policies of the party" What is
this tariff policy? In the same paper
we find Mckinley telling his Vermont
farmers" that the vigorous and hon
est farmers" of that state have Eek
amined both their stock books and
their store books" and ''have learned
that their products have been worth
less in the past three years than at
any time in a long series of years."
and that they want protective tar
III and mean to have it." That is to
say, they want tariff that will raise
the prices of their products.
Now. what are the claws Of trade"
that Legislation can no more change
than 1t can make the earth flat? They
seek those markets where they will
bring the most, and that human desire
seeks to crafty it's wants where the
objects of it's desire can be obtained
the most cheaply. Another law of
trade is that the value Of these prod
ucts is governed by the supply of them
on the one hand and the demand for
them on the other, as affected, also,
by the cost of producing them. But
McKinleyism does assert that 1t can
create values by raising, by legis-
lation, the prices Of these products,
and that it can, defeat the desire Of
consumers to get . what they need at
the least outlay. 1t sets itself in oppo-
sitlon to the law of trade that makes
supply and demand regulate value, and
declares congresses superior to it. 1t
therefore follows that the policy which
our contemporary sustains and advo-
Gates rests on the assumption that leg
islation can create values and change
the laws of trade. It therefore follows.
in due course Of logic, that legisla-
ton can make the earth fiat. But it
follows, in fact, that it is just as true
of tariffs as 1t Is of finance that values
cannot be created nor trade laws
changed by legislation, even If our
| contemporary either cannot see it or
dare not admit it. ''.'s.s
