this. Her gold yen, which she now makes
| her legal tender, will contain only half
as much gold as formerly. That equal
ICES her fixing of the parity between gold
| and silver at 80 to /. Suppose the Uni
ted States should fix the amount of gold
in the gold dollar at twelve and frac-
ton grains instead of twenty-five and a
| fraction would not that be a confession
that gold as money has appreciated? I'm
doubtedly. Japans action will not af-
Eject sentiment on the money question

On the subject of the tariff bill Mr..
Jones said:
THE bill will be thoroughly examined
and discussed when it rea ches the Sen
ate We intend to show to the country
that it is a measure obnoxious to the
countrys interests, and ought not to be-
come a law To my knowledge that is
the whole of the Democratic program.
The responsibility is with the Republi-
cans, and if they can pass such bill,
we'll and good"
| GEN. WARMERS VIEWS.
General Warner of Ohio, the leading
| spirit in the bimetallic camp, was in the
city yesterday and talked about the sit
uation briefly with n representative of
| the Star:
| 1.-THE Republicans with their tariff bill
are attempting the impossible" he said.
THE prices of few things may be slim
ulated by their measure, but prices gen.
! erally-and that is what the situation
calls for-cannot be raised by taxation.
The bill will fail of its purpose, and the
ultimate triumph OF silver be FASTENED
| by it,"
| THE NEXT OHIO CAMPAIGN.
With regard to the coming State cam
| paign in Ohio, General Warner said:
1.-The Democracy will go into the fight
united and confident / believe we shall
win.. Talk about candidates is general
as yet, but no trouble will be experienced
| about getting a strong man to head the
ticket. The platform, l can now predict,
will be a straightforward and an I'M
| eQuivocal declaration for silver at 16 to
/. The Democracy will take no back
ward step on that question. Democracy
means a restoration of the peoples mon
| ey to the channels of business, where it
belongs. Silver is bound to win in the
end

President Mckinley treated the people
| who were strolling on Pennsylvania aven-
| ue to Democratic sight few evenings
ago. Mr. Mckinley had come out of the
White House in company with Secretary
Porter, and the two walked down 10Th
street and had reached Wizards Hotel,
,, where they were recognized and spoken
to by number OF politicians. Two in
terested boot-blacks were on the side
walk. They were typical black urchins
on the lookout for a shine. They were
not long in discovering that the President
and his private secretary were passing
along, and they both lifted their. hats
| and bowed to Mr.. Mckinley. Mr.. Por-
ter caught sight of them, but they es-
capped the notice of the President until
he had passed, but Mr.. Porter evidently
called his attention to the bootblacks, for
the people watching them noticed him
| turn sQuarely about, and as the urchins
again saluted him Mr.. Mckinley respond
ed by lifting his hat and bowling profuse-
| ly to the boys. Five minutes later the
two urchins, with shining faces, were ex-
planning to their friends how they had
spoken to the President and had been rec
ognized.
