The Jeffersionian and Hamiltonian idea

The so-called" Bimetallism" Of the New
York World and the other organs of the
New York and London slew" takes silver
out of the base altogether and puts it Ia
teeter and topple, along with all the other
products of American soil or toll, on the
shifty, shaky support of the scanter metal

Hamilton, the first American Treasury
Secretary, warned his countrymen forever
against reducing to mere merchandise
either of the metals that were jointly put in
the money base. Not that those who could
manipulate "a single standard" would
merely use it to put into their pockets hall

values ofall products and ofal property as

Alexander Hamilton was not only a
leading Trainer of the Constitution of our
country, but was the first Secretary of
Treasury; and the wise and patriotic reasons
he gave for putting the double standard :
Gold and SilYer-at the very foundation
of the American money system, and in
which Washington and Jefferson so warmly
concurred with him, were reasons which
stand for all time. To make mere mer-
chandise" of either Gold or Silver. he said !:
"to attach the unit of value to either
metal" and ito destroy the Office and
character of one of them as money" were
the very plain words in which he warned
his country against the terrible dangers
which he foresaw from the greed of the
English money oligarcby to make American
products tributary to them. Of an American
money oligarchy, there was then no fore
boding or fear.

In another column we publish the names
of the persons selected by the chairman Of
the county organization of the two leading
parties and confirmed by the County Board
of Elections to act as election officers to
conduct the elections in this county the
ensuing year. La broad sense, these men
represent the people-their duty is not to
party or any set of politicians-but to all
the people. They are charged with the
duty of conducting the elections to be held
in this county strictly according to law,
and to honestly announce the result. As
representatives of the political party
through whose organization they have been
selected, they are as solemnly charged with
preventing illegal votes being cast in favor
of that party as they are with preventing
dishonest or illegal votes being cast in favor
of the party organization to which they are
opposed, to the end that the result of the
elections shall be an honest expression of
the people of this county who have legal
right to participate in the elections. 1t is
too often the case that elections officers
conceive that their duty is wholly to the
party that selected them that their duty
is fully performed when they have chal-
lenged voters who were likely to vote with
the opposite party, and are mere auto
matte machines when the illegal voter is
presented by his party's representative.
Our elections must be honestly conducted
and the result honestly announced if our
Government is to remain strong in the
affections of all the people, and when we
turn to the announced figures of the result
of the election last Fall. and compare them
with the census of the population taken
only the year before, there is grave reason
to doubt the accuracy Of the figures, and
the fear is strong either that large num-
Der of illegal votes were cast or the count
of the votes as cast was not honestly an
nounced.
That s,OO1 votes should be cast in a
population of 81 ,191, indicates that the old
rule of comparison. THAT each voter repre-
sented FIVE persons) needs radical revision,
and that the voter really represents only
four persons.
We have no objection to a change of the
ratio in population but we deem the time
opportune to speak word of warning on
this important subject

A year ago the cereal crops were bounti-
ful at home and abroad, and, although
the European grain fields brought forth
only an average harvest, it was. as crops
had long been, inadequate to the usual
demand, and America, together with Rus
STA, Germany, India and the Argentine,
contributed to make up the deficit. This
present year the foreign cereal crops are
all less than the average, and the fruit
full fields of the United States are
chiefly looked to by Europe to furnish its
teeming populations with au unusually
large proportion of the needed wheat and
corn. Last year, as it has been, and will
be, every year, the price of wheat was
determined by the memorable law of sup
ply and demand
The Ledger is one Republican papers
that is honest enough to tell the truth
about the cause of the increase in the price

Death Of Connt Mntsn,

Washington, Aug. 26. = A telegram
was received at the Japanese legation
yesterday announcing the death of
Count Mutsu, ex-minister of foreign
affairs and Japanese minister to the
United States in 1888. The news was
not at all unexpected, as the count has
been i'll with lung trouble for long
time. and was compelled by Ill health
to resign his Office about a year ago.
Count Mutsu was one of the most dis
tinguished men in the history of the
new Japanese movement, and, with the
Marquis Ito. moulded the policy of the
modern empire and successfully car
ried the country through the crisis Of
the Chinese war.

Almost every day some new omission,
ambiguity or mystery turns up in the
tariff which was jammened through Con-
gress by partisan pressure. The latest
puzzle discovered by the Treasury offic-

which enumerates articles to be adm tilted
free of duty: "Art educational stops, COM
posed of glass and metal and valued at
