THE OHIO MUDDLE

Hanna has declared war against Gov
ernor Bushnell and Senator Foraker.
He announces that he is not only can
didlate for the senate against their
wishes and plans, but that he will man
age his own campaign. But Mr.. Hanna
will be made to realize the difference
between having Foraker's adroitness
and Bushnelrs barrels of money on his
side and having them against him.
During the presidential campaign For
aker and Bushnell permitted Hanna 10
boss them for the good of the party, but
it is quite a different thing to be bossed
by him for his own sake; besides, For
aker would be the shining Ohio light N
the senate if Bushnell were his COZ
league, while Hanna would insist upon
taking the lions share of the honors to
himself.
Under ordinary circumstances Hanna
would have things pretty much his own
way, but circumstances are not orol-
nary. Governor Bushnell has the power
tc appoint Sherman's successor, or he
can call the legislature in extra session
and let it fill the vacancy; he wants the
nlace himself: he can pay as much for
votes as Hanna can; Foraker wants
Bushnell to succeed Sherman; the lieu
tenant-governor and his following want
Bushnell elected so as to give him, the
lieutenant-governor, the governorship;
the boys generally are with Foraker
when he wants anything, but it is SAID
that the majority of the Republican SIDE
is pledged to Hanna and will vote for
him if the governor leaves the question
to the legislature.
As will be seen, 1t is very complicated
affair. and that it is likely to result III
splitting the party wide open. Hanna
could better afford to split the party
than to suffer defeat, and the position
of Foraker is precisely the same. For
aker has already gone so far in the dl-
rection of antagonizing the wishes OF
Mckinley that he will have little, II any,
patronage, and the same is true OF BUSH
nell. Hence if they permit Hanna TO
succeed Sherman he would, or at least
he might. win over the boys with rat
offices and leave Foraker of no more
consequence to the party than f1fth
wheel would be to a wagon. The fight
between these two WORTHLESS Will be
watched with interest by the Democ-
racN, for if it wakes hot enough the

II you claim to be a Democrat, let us
reason together on the monetary creeds.
They may be summarized in few
words. The creed of gold monometal-
lists affirms that coinage must be based
on and conform to the price of the met
ais. That over-valuation of one metal
in the ratio of coinage will drive the un-
der-valued coin out of circulation This
Is the Gresham law. To apply this law
to the existing condition of closed mints
and silver coin subsidiary to or repre-
sentative of gold coin is illogical I'm
der these conditions the law could never
have been formulated. If, with open
mints and the full use as, money restored
to silver coin, the price of the coTlmodity
silver remains below its coin valuation,
then the Gresham law would at once be-
come operative.
The creed of bi-metallists may be
readily apprehended in a presentation
of Secretary Carlisle's avowed change
of belief. His former contention was
that open mints would raise the price OF
silver to an equality with its coin valu-
alton. He now says open mints Will not
add value, but the coin would drop 20
the commercial price of silver. That
affirmation is that neither use nor dis
use of an article increases or dimln-
ishes its price. Is not the affirmation
preposterous? Government alone is
empowered to coin money. In other
words. government can create or with
hold opportunity to use silver as money.
On that use the price of silver is chief1y
dependent Here arises the question Of
supply Compared with the production
of gold, silver production has greatly
declined. No monetary commission
OF experts have ever ascribed the fall in
the price of silver to any other causes
than to closed mints, and partial dis
use as monye The converse of the prop
osition, is, therefore, unanswerably true.
Restoration Of use would raise the price
of silver.
May it not be true that failure. prior
to 1878. to maintain parity of value in
our coins, was owing altogether to DIFF
ferent ratios of other countries? To
what other cause can it be ascribed? II
the United, States, by Independent ac-
ton, restored silver what cause, then
would create disparity of value of hel
/ coins?
Senator Teller thus summarizes his
belief: Unlimited coinage of silver
will operate as though, by some process
all the silver coin had been transmitted
into gold coin" This statement leaves
the gold standard intact, except that 4
would remedy its greatest evils by, per-
| haps, in q few years, more than doub-
| ling the amount of redemption money
| This contamination we are taught by
all political economists will bring abou,
an era of prosperity.
The issue of bi-metallism once pre-
sented, means an impressible conflict till
| it is re-established. 1T is a cause as
| sacred as the cause of liberty the cause
of humanity"

Ask, and the worldwide winds will answer
AS they blow from the land and the sea
The flag of America is waving
In the highlands of liberty;
Wherever the human races
Are coZened, coerced and oppressed,
You'll find the American ensign
Is beloved and honored and blessed.
Where the African novels are blazing,
And the English bullets speed by,
The ignorant Boer points proudly
To the stars that float on high
And there they hail with their blessing
The flag of Americans true;
For it speaks TO them of Freedom
And bids them struggle through.
1t has never been waved for conquest
Nor Haunted Ger deeds of shame;
Nor waved Ger the fell marauder.
AS he ravished with sword and flame.
1t has opened the gates of commerce
To the Hindoos fertile shores:
II has carried its blessings to China
And opened her long closed doors.
The American looks to it in trouble
And today with his dying breath.
The Arab with its folds around him
Has hallowed it's memory in death.
Loved as the emblem of freedom.
On Tel-el-Kebirs 5 parched plain,
1t encouraged the conquered Zulu
To struggle for freedom again.
Where is the American ensign?
Seek where the oppressed are found
Struggling to gain their freedom
From burdens that weigh to the ground
Go search where the homes are happy,
And lands are fee from strife;
Where the birds are singing of freedom
And the cities are teemMg with life.
Where is the American ensign?
Go look where the Cubans were slain,
Struggling to secure their freedom
From the tyranncal rule of Spain.
Go. search where the Christian religion
Has entered the savage's lair:
Where prosperity blesses the people
The flag of America is there.

A BALLADE OF BYGONES

Into what dim unlettered night
Do our romantic idols stray?
Whittier has Trilby taken flight,
And where does Ben Hur chariot sway?
The Little Minister is gray;
No more does Robert Elmere pose;
Where do the favorites delay?
Nay, where is yestermorning's rose?
Forgotten is the Manxmans might;
And what of Tess do bookmen say?
The Prisoner of Zendas plight
Is one with Fauntleroys at play,
Mulvaney, Otheris. Where are they?
On Sherlock Holmes the shadows close.
Why do Their memories decay?
All, where is yestermorning's rose?
They walked Romance's fowery height,
Nor Howells self could then dismay;
Made all of sweetness and of light
For which Philistines loved to pay.
Now each his unlamented way
To libraried Oblivion goes.
And on their tombs we toss spray
OF yestermornings faded rose.
Prints. twas not yours the fate to stay
With all the art the era knows,
For fame in this decadent day
- Is but as yestermorning's rose.

DOMESTIC ECONOMICS

IT is said that we are nation of poll
t;cians. and that we know more of prac-
tical and theoretical economics than the
people of any other country perhaps
we do, but if so it may be said OF US
that our knowledge avails us little, for
as a people, especially the middle and
lower classes, we utterly disregard that
phase of the science of economics which
has to do with household management
as it relates to income and expenditure.
Our conduct of domestic life is at war
continually with sound domestic econ
onlics. We are not careful nor prudent
in the use of the utilities of opportunity
to earn and to save. The people of the
United States are smart, brave and hos
pitable. but they are not wise in those
ways which fortify the home against the
attacks Of what are called hard times
Indeed, hard times are nearly always
the legitimate harvest of seed sown by
the people, Disease or fire or flood or
war might force the people into most
distressing situations, when they would
be blameless, but their greatest calam-
tiles are their own creation.
Our expenditures are greater than our
Income. That is the root of nearly all
of our financial miseries The very rich
do not spend more than their income,
because they cannot, but every other
class, as whole, lives beyond its means.
that wealth is that portion of income
which Is not absorbed in expenditure.
The wage-earner who holds his expense
account below his earnings creates
wealth exactly in proportion as he does
that thing. The wage-earner who finds
on pay day that his bills payable require
more money for their liquidation than
the sum of his wages, has not only Gre
ated a deficit but has deepened and wi
dened the bounds Of his poverty. and
not only so, but he is a slave until he is
out of debt. There are exceptions to the
rule, but generally speaking, the man or
woman who makes no effort to keep ex-
penditues below income, however small
the income may be- is not fitted for
household management.
We claim to be free and independent
people, but in fact we are slaves to
absurd and silly social customs, and
there is very little moral independence
in our conduct of life. There are very
many, however, who have the courage
to "cut the garment according to the
CLOTH" and it is to such that the moral
energies of civilization look for
strength and encouragement. 1t does
not require bravery, but good common
sense and ar Independent spirit to cut
down expenditures SO as to keep below
a reduced wage scale. 1t is the thor
oughly honest, sincere and independent
man who Is heard to say, NO, cannot

MAKE THE APPROPRIATION

II is to be hoped that the Legislature
will not forget to make an appropria-
ton to exhibit the products of Califor-
mia at the Transmississippi Exposition
at Omaha next year What California
nceds abcve all things is an influx of
home-seekers of the kind that are finan-
cially able to develop and carry forward
sucb commercial industrial and agri-
cultural enterprises as they may elect
to engage in.
A great deal has been said and writ
ten about the climate and the products
OF California, but the proof of the pud-
ding is in the chewing of the pudding
itself. A proper display of samples Of
what California can produce from mines,
factory and ranch at the Omaha expo
sition would do the state more substan-
tial good in the way of advertising her
resources than could be obtained in any
other way. For the most part the pat
rons of the exposition will come from
II
sissippi river, and they should have the
evidence before their eyes of the supe-
riority of California in everything that
is included in ground products.
No such another opportunity is likely
to be offered in the near future to pre-
sent the advantages which California
possesses and offers to home-seekers,
and it would be great mistake not
to take advantage of it. 1t is estimated
that SIS 600 would be ample to give Cali
fornia the needed representation, but
the good results which would accrue
from such an exhibit would be worth
very many times that sum. Therefore
it is TO be hoped that every member Of
the legislature will feel that it is incum-
bent upon him personally to see that
the appropriation asked for is author
i2ed.

TO GOLD STANDARD DEMOCRATS.

TO GOLD STANDARD DEMOCRATS.
To the Editor of the Los Angeles
Herald: At this date there is a subsi-
dence of political passion and prejudice.
This applies to minds receptive to eco
nomic principles.
Some Democrats erred and went
astray; others sold their birthrights for a
mess of pottage; another class found
their affinities, allies and home. Many
will return to the party, and others are
not wanted. To them the saying ap-
plies: They have the roar of a lion and
the skim of hare" Many Of them are
mentally equipped and endowed, but not
with self-respecting intelligence. This
was abundantly proven in the late cam
paign. The writer of this letter knows
no parallel to the contumacy of so-called
sound money Democrats. The truth of
that assertion is demonstrable. Contrast
their creed, with their claim to be repre-
sentative of the school of Jefferson and
Jackson. These revered sta tesmen and
patriots, with unanmity, held that a
ma tiOnal bank of issue was more danger
Gus to the liberties of the people than an
invading army The Palmer faction pro-
posed that national banks should issue
the entire paper circulation. Was ever
assumption more preposterous, involv
ing more of contumely and sacrifice of
self-respecting intelligence? Remem-
ber, these are high-caste gentlemen by
heredity, education and association
They claimed to be the simon pure
Democratic party and advocated gold
mono-metallism. But the creed of the
Democratic party in history, in its plat
forms, and in congress, is an undeviat-
ing advocacy of bimetaMism. They are
best characterized by paraphrase from
Sterne's Sentimental Journey. After
Mr.. Bryan's Madison Square garden
speech. "a herd of asses viewed and re-
viewed him."
The whole field of so-called sound
money politics was pre-empted by the
Republican party thirty years ago. All
it's legislation had led logically to pres
ent conditions and was opposed by ma
jority of Democratic representatives.
With what sort of grace, therefore, can
one claim to be Democrat, pretendipg g
to establish kind of midway plaisante
between parties, and vote the Republic
an ticket? Will they again vote for the
party who jetisones the property of the
many for the benefit of the favorites?
