THE DOOM OF SILVER.
Senator Sanders, of Montana, Gives
HIS Opinion.


81 hardly think" said ex-senator w.
+. Sanders, Of Montana, that the dis
coyery OF large quantities of gold in
Alaska will tend to bridge the gap that
separates gold and silver.
ut matters not how much gold is
taken out of the Klondike field, silver
will never regain it's old-time position.
AS a standard IL is doomed, but IL will al
ways serve an excellent use as n subsi-
diary currency.
''rhe denouncers of the crime OF 10
have shouted continuously that one-half
OF the worlds money supply has been
blotted out. Even IL that were true,
then the recent big gold finds will recon-
cile people 10 a continuance of the
single standard. for II we can get gold
in sufficient abundance the deficit ere
ated by the crime of 10 win ere long
Dc made good.
"But, utter all, II may be doubted
whether, even II the Klondike mines
prove ns productive as the most san
guine miners claim, the general con-
dition OF the great mass of our people
will be bothered. IL may be doubted
whether the California boom OF 40 pro-
duced any prosperity Of national ex-
tent. Prosperity is not the result OF
such episodes. Money Is abundant
enough now; tho trouble is that IL lies
stacked up in vaults, and will not come
out OF it's hiding place 1T the activity
OF money created by demand that
causes IL 10 circulate, and circulation
IL hampered by distrust. II the peo-
pie who have money were sure they
would get IL back again business would
boom all over the United States, quite
regardless Of the fact that big heaps
Of the yellow metal were being taken
out Of the frozen placers of the Yukon"

DISCRETION OF SILVER.
Free siIverites Are left In a GUAM
dary.

/ uMFy.
In spite of all the free silver litera-
ture with which the people were del.
uged last fall, and in spite of all the
campaign utterances of Mr.. Bryan and
the elaborate statistical tables compiled
by the author OF Coins Financial
School," wheat persistently refuses 10

yer. While silver has gone down AZ
cents an ounce within month wheat
has steadily advanced, and is now worth
IS cents in New York.
A few days ago silver bullion expert
enced the most violent break OF the
entire seasons decline. In London the
price dropped one-half penny per ounce
from the price of the previous day, sell
ing at 1854 pence per ounce, as against
27h pence a month ago. The New York
price fell 10 55A cents, break Of IA
cents an ounce from the preceding day.
This makes the bullion value of the
silver dollar n trife more than AZ cents
IL is unfortunate for the free coinage
campaigns in Ohio. Iowa and Kentucky
that silver should take notion 10 drop
TO the lowest point ever reached just ut
this time, when the supply OF wheat il
limited and the demand so active that IL
has steadily advanced in price. But the
laws OF nature are immutabe. They
cannot be suspended In the interests
NJ the silver miners or the free coinage
propaganda. There is no more relation
between the price OF wheat and the
V,Ffa 20 oil hoV tc hot
the law of gravitation and the price Of
corn.
That there has always been in this
country some mysterious partnership
between the prices of silver and the
prices Of wheat Is the basic fallacy upon
which the free silver craze was con-
structed It was the exploitation OF this
amazing deception that first attracted
public attention TO Coins Financial
School" Around this monumental
fraud was built superstructure OF err
rors, misstatements and fallacious ar
gumentation, all designed 10 support
the contention that the falling prices OF
all products were due 10 the decline OF
silver, which decline in turn was due
20 its decentralization" by congress.
IL was easy to propagate this doctrine
last fall when there was nm oyersupply
of wheat in the world and IL sold for IS
cents bushel. IL caught the farmers
In all sections OF the union. and came
very near bringing the nation TO a de-
based currency and 10 national dis
honor.
This cardinal fallacy Of the free sill
yer propaganda was repeatedly ex-
ploded by such men as Prof. Laughlin.
OF the University OF Chicago; Hon.
Carl Schurz and many other eminent
statisticians. There has been n down
ward tendency in the price OF silver,
with occasional fluctuations, since 1873,
while wheat has risen or fallen accord
ing 10 the size of the crop and the ac-
tivity OF the demand.
II the slump in silver continues the
Bryanites in 1900 will have 10 abandon
the whole argument and merely clamor
for accent dollar-perhaps a 30-cent
dollar.-Chicago Times-Ierald.

Mr.. w. c. Whitney has appeared in
the ranks of those who hold that Presi-
dent Mckinley was not elected to re
store the policy which they once named
"McKinleyism." He is reported TO have
said:
II such measure q. e.. the Dingley BID
had been outlined before the election as the
method by which the republicans meant 10
meet the expectations OF the country. IL
might have been disastrous TO Mr.. McKin-
loy's success The result Is that the party
has aliennted not only its recent allies in
the sound money campaign, but many OF
It's sturdy followers.
If we remember rightly Mr.. Whitney
was grumbling during the last cam
paign because Maj. Mckinley so per-
sistently pushed the tariff issue 10 the
front, and he made dire prophecies OF
the probable disastrous consequences
which would result TO Mr.. Mckinley
from so doing. But Mr.. Mckinley went
right on making the tariff the issue,
and the voters of the country, who read
his remarks and understood his posi-
ton perfectly, elected him 10 the presi-
dency of the United States. We would
advise Mr.. Whitney 20 look back and
read some OF his own grumbhngs and
prophecies made during the campaign.
Even he himself apparently recognized
the fact that Mr.. Mckinley based his
chief claim 90 election on the tariff is
sue. The rest of the people of the
country recognized the same fact, and
because they recognized that fact Maj
Mckinley was elected TO the high Office
which he now holds. Is Mr.. Whitney

nation for mayor of Greater New
York?

A NEW ERA BEGUN.
Successful beginning of Republican
prOspcHIty.

Saturday, July "a, 1897, will go down
In the economic and industrial history
OF the United States as an epoch-mak-
ing date. On that day the Dingley tariff
bill became a law.
Our great industrial and producing
interests and the millions of toilers who
are dependent upon them for occupa-
ton, now take on renewed hope and
courage. The nation has set its face
toward the morning, and the rising sun
of prosperity already gladdens every
heart. A new era has begun.
Our two basic industries are ngricul-
ture and manufacturing. Both must
prosper, IL the nation is 10 enjoy good
times. The Dingley law restores the
conditions which are necessary IL man
ufacturing is 70 prosper. Our agricul-
tural interests are already on the up
grade. The farmers are blessed with
bounteous crops and the prices they re-
ceive are considerably higher than
those OF year ago.
All signs point TO an era OF better
times. The free-silver craze has spent
its force. The walls OF the calamity
shriekers beat upon needless ears. The
farmers are too busy. and too full OF
hope for the future, TO listen to their
dismal utterances. The industrial
situation will not change In an instant,
no more than can a huge train of cars
start at full speed from n standstill.
Each week will mark IN improvement,
and this progress promises 10 be steady
and uninterrupted.
The blight of the Wilson law fell upon
us four years ago; and the experience
of this time OF trouble certainly will
mike the American people chary OF try
ing the low tariff theory again for n
generation. The direct loss TO the peo-
pie, through their mistake OF 1892, in
electing n democratic congress, has cost
them more than the entire expense OF
the great civil war. A dearly-bought
experience, trulyl
The republican party has fulfilled
the main pledge of the ST. Louis plat
form. IL has, within the short space OF
four months and 20 days after It's access
sion TO power, repaired the legislative
blunder OF the democratic party by en-
tirely reversing the nations economic
policy. a new era in the prosperity OF
the nation has begun. Everyone In In
spired with new confidence and hope.
Let every man abandon his fears and
launch out confidently, for the day of
promise has dnwned, and IL will be
golden one for every man OF energy and
ndustry.--Toledo Blade.
