Beautiful Architectural Specimens to Be
Seen In Small Towns.

It was my privilege to SEQ ten Of the
1athedrals of England, and situated, as
Tome of them are, i'll small towns, one
ZONES on visiting them to know more
Of tho life of the people than the tourist
san attain who flies from one great city to
another, says writer in the Springfield
Republican. Each traveller will have
his favorite among them, and all have
their excellences and defects.
Some of them are partially spoiled
by the smoke of the town, and any res
toration ought to be welcome that will
clean it off. Such is the case with
York and Lincoln and to greater ex-
tent with Peterborough, whose magnifi-
cent facade, or, rather, architects con-
ception of it, is best appreciated by the
study of photograph. AS the English
are not inclined to the apotheosis of
dirt, they have in many cases removed
the disgrace in recent years, and Peter
borough itself is now made glorious
within in all the marvellous beauty of
it's cream white stone. When these
buildings are not in smoky towns, the
atmosphere, after the lapse of ages, has
sometimes heightened the architectural
effect, SO that Ely grows old gracefully
and Salisbury even beautifully. Sails
bury and Canterbury seem we'll nigh
perfect. In Durham the marble columns
are married by puerile fluting. The
towers of York are not all finished. The
wonderful central tower of Lincoln has
lost its pinnacles The great facade of
Peterborough is out of proportion to the
building. The external effect of Ely is
too much like fortress. The spires of
Litchfield are not mates in color and are
somewhat ornate, but upon Canterbury
and Salisbury the eye rests content. And
yet he is little to be envied who would
not find Intoxicating joy in every one of
these, SO great are they, and in their
varied power SO lifting the beholder
above and beyond all incidental defects,
and it is quite to the credit of the young
woman from Springfield who is said to
have burst into tears at the sight of
Westminster abbey.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 9Th, 1896.
The Popocrats are a frightened crowd
Just now, and the publication of Bryan's
statement of his alleged confidence over his
own signature is generally regarded as
farcical under existing circumstances Not
only are they frightened about the States
which the Republican mana gers conceded
to be in doubt at the beginning of the cam
paign, but which they now consider safe
for Mckinley. but also about seven or
eight Southern States, some of which the
Republicans had no idea of making any
serious campaign in until very recently
They realize that Maryland, West Virginia,
and Kentucky, which have from the be-
ginning been strongly contested by the Re
publicans, ARE more likely to be carried for
Mckinley than for Bryan, and now the an
tics of Tom Watson have got them into a
state of fright over North Carolina, Florida,
Alabama, Tennessee, and Louisiana, and
they are no longer certain of even carrying
Texas What they especially fear in sew
eral of these States is that the Republicans
may withdraw their electoral ticket and sup
port that of the gold Democrats, an idea
that is being advocated by some shrewd
for such States as Louisiana
where the gold Democrats are numerous
and influential.

In handling silver and using it as
currency lies the fact that $40 of gold
can be stored in the same space as 81
of silver. This has entailed an expense
of many hundreds of thousands of dol
lars on our government in the last Is
years for storing the silver dollars which
the people registered as too cumbersome
for their pockets. Every time the treas
ury changes hands, and probably much
oftener in the banks Of this country, the
stock of coin is counted over. 1t is just
as easy to count $40, 600 in gold double
eagles as 81, 900 in silver. If we open
our minis to silver, all gold will disap-
pear from circulation, at least SO far as
domestic business is concerned, and a
large and increasing expense will be in
f1icted on the mercantile class, and to q
lesser degree on the whole community,
in handling and counting the more
cumbersome coin.

on Tariff Legs.

To all sincere questions by con-
verified Free-Traders, whose faith in
Protection is still little weak, and
to all specious inquiries by disinge-
nuous opponents of the "American
svstem," in regard to the specific
rate of the Protective Tariff to be
imposed by a Protectionist Con-
gress, a good answer is the story
about Lincoln told by Major Nc
Kinley in his speech before the Mar
ouette Club at Chicago last Febru-
arv. Some one asked Lincoln how
long a mans legs ought to be. Lin
coin replied "That is very serious
question, and 1 have given much
thought to it great many times.
Some should be longer and some
shorter; but l want to tell you a
mans legs ought always to be long
enough to reach from his body to
the ground" And Major Mckinley
pressed home the illustration in
these words "And so / tell yOu,my
inquiring Free-Trade friend that the
LEGS of the next Republican Tariff
law will be long enough to firmly
support the American body polite (;

our National credit; and uphold the

can labor, and the enterprises and

CANDIDATE BRYAN says that the
reason he is making a "starring" tour
through the country is that the peo-
Dle have not money enough to go to
see "the candidate" and so "the can
didate" must go to see the people.
It may be true that the American
people are burning with desire to 60
to see that warm friend of foreign
labor, William j. Bryan, but we doubt
it. However, If it is true that those
who wish to go to see him cannot,
for lack of money, they may for that
state of affairs, thank Mr.. Bryan him
self and his fellow Free-Traders who
helped to pass the industry-destroy-
ing, wage-reducing Wilson-Gorman

WIN dollars would Be Cheap.

The cry of the silver adherents is that
silver is the money of the poor, while
gold is the money Of the rich. But sill
yer will be the money of the poor and
rich alike when we are on the silver
basis, just as paper was the money OF
rich and poor alike when we were on a
paper basis, The buying power Of silver
will be exactly what the buying power
of paper was-i. e., its value relative to
gold. If silver is worth one-half OF
what gold is, it will buy one-half OF
what gold will. That is law of trade
as immutable as the law of gravitation
OF any law of nature. Boston Herald.

The Rlght Of Bolting.

"No convention, says Mr.. Bryan in
letter written last February to Mr..
George M. Garden of Dallas, Tex. D.,
"can rob me of my convictions, nor can
any party organization drive me to con-
spire against the prosperity and liberty
Of my country. These sentiments are
exactly those of the sound money men
of the United States today. In refusing
to be bound by the Chicago convention
they are exercising precisely the same
right which Mr.. Bryan exercised in
1898, when he bolted the gold standard
and when he so vigorously defended the
privilege of doing so. Hartford Times

penents Of High Prices.

The issue between the friends OF
sound money and the believers in 90
cent dollars is at bottom a question
whether cheap goods or high prices are
best for the whole country. Until the
people understand that their interests
will be best served by a gradual reduc-
ton in the cost of all kinds of commod-
tries plans for getting rich by paying
more for goods will be advocated and
seriously considered. There is no doubt
but that an artificial increase Of prices
would benefit some persons. But the
people as a whole would be injured,
and the principle of the greatest good tc
the greatest number forbids the grant
ing of favors to one class at the expense
of all others.

The "POOr Mans Dinner PAIL"

We have not heard so much lately
about the "poor mans dinner pal"
as we used to hear in 1892 from our
Free Trade friends. One reason for
this is that the "poor man" has
found out that his dinner pail as well
as other tinware was just as cheap
under the Mckinley law as it was
before or has been since. Facts and
actual experience have served to nail
one more Free-Trade lie. But there
is another reason why the poor
mans dinner pail" has been dropped
from discussion. Ever since the
elections of 1892 gave the Govern
ment into the hands of the Free
Trade party the "pOOr mans dinner
Dailn has been a ticklish subject
ANY mention of it serves to remind
the laboring man of his prosperous
times under the Mckinley law when
he needed a dinner pail to carry his
dinner with him to his work. Under
Free-Trade Tariff Reform, with no
work to 90 to, the poor man has not
had so much need of a dinner pail.
He has been more troubled about
how to get dinner than about the
price of his dinner pail. But there
a guide time coming" again. Dinner
pals will be plentiful enough under
President Mckinley and Protec
tive Tariff and they will be Of good
American tin, too, made by Ameri-
can wOrkingmeD.
