cable to destroy the parity. The revision
act OF 1873 suspended the coinage Of
legal tender silver coins and reduced the
dollar to the level OF subsidiary coins
which, by the act of 1853, had been re-
duced in weight and diVested Of their
legal tender function above FIVE dollars.
And when specie payments were resumed
IN 1879, though the legal tender char
acter' of the silver dollar had been re-
stored, and although, in the meantime,
$l,S00,000,000 of refunding bonds, pay
able in coin of the standard value of
1870, had been authorized and issued,
silver coin was not used for redemp-
tion purposes either of greenbacks or
bonds, and silver dollars, instead of be-
ing paid out in the ordinary transactions
Of the treasury department, were piled
up in the treasury, and nOn-legal-
certificates were used, The treasury off,
GERS have all along Disseminated against
silver. Even in the redemption OF notes
issued in payment for silver under the
Sherman law gold has been used.
Maintaining the parity, indeed! When
Mr.. Sherman was writing the false and
fraudulent parity clause the parity had
fallen from per cent. above par in
favor of silver, where 1t stood In 1873,
to 25 per cent below par July 1, 1890
thirteen days before the Sherman law
was approved by the President, and 1t
had reached 80 per cent. the day and
hour that Senator Allison uttered the
words above quoted

The Parity Humbug.

In the Senate debate on the Teller
resolution, in response to question Of
Mr.. Teller, Mr., Allison said he thought
it would be proper for the Secretary OF
the Treasury to pay the obligations of
the government in either silver or gold.
But" declared Mr. Allison, "the Secre-
tary of the Treasury, IL he Is an honest
man in reaching his decision as to ac-
tion upon that point, must take into
consideration existing conditions, one
OF which is that this government is
pledged to maintain the gold and silver
currency of the country at parity"
This parity" humbug began in 1890,
when, in order to defeat the passage OF
free coinage measure the silver pur-
chasing bill was substituted and Sena-
tor Sherman got clause inserted de-
claring it to be "the established policy
Of the United States to maintain the
parity between the two metals" Sena-
tor Allison has had a good deal to do
with the financial legislation OF this
country. His work in defeating the
Bland bill in 1873 gave the bill its we'll
known title of BlandAllison act. He
knows that no parity" declaration was
ever made by Congress prior to 1890,
and he knows the parity" clause in
the Sherman law Is an open and glaring
falsehOod The United States has not
been trying to maintain the parity be-
tween the two metals, but, on the con-
trary, we have done everything practi-

A Distinguished Guest With Us.

President Dole, of the Hawaiian Re-
public is now in the United States He
was met at Chicago by representatives
OF the President Of the United States
and was received and entertained as the
nations guest.
The event brings to mind the interest
ing political history Of the region over
which Mr.. Dole presides. 1t is believed
that the intermarriage of some ship
wrecked Spaniards with the native wo-
men about the middle of the sixteenth
century, was the beginning Of Christian
civilization on the islands. The people
lived in clans with quarrelsome chiefs
probably $50 years, when one Of them,
during the last decade Of the last cen
tury, was so far conquered by Chief
Kamehameha that he agreed to let the
latter have his dominions when he died.
Kamehameha established himself as
King of all the islands. His son sue
ceeded him with the title Of Kane
hameha II. In 1926 this King adopted
the ten commandments as laws Of his
kingdom. In 1840, Kamehameha III
adopted a constitution of government,
granting civil rights to the people, and
six years later he relinqulshed to them
his rights in most of the land. He
granted the right of suffrage to his sub
jects in 1850. Kamehameha ", who
died in 1872, was the last King Of this
dynasty.
Lunalilo was elected King and died
within two years without issue. Kala-
kaua succeeded to the throne in 1874,
and died in 1891, when his sister, Liliuo-
kalaui, became Queen. The rebellion Of
1894 overthrew the monarchy and San
ford B. Dole was chosen President Of
the Republic.

The President Speaks Boldly.

The President Of the United States,
in his address to the Manufacturers
Club, in New York city last week, after
giving some excellent suggestions on the
general subject of extending our trade,
spoke boldly on the money question,
leaving no room for doubt as TO his
position personally and that OF MS ad-
ministratiOn.
The President comedies the point that
bimetallists have all along urged, and
that which he himself, when member
of the House of Representatives con-
Cured in-that to pay our debts in sill
yer coin would not be in violation OF
the contract; but he says, Whatever
may be the language Of the contract,
the United States will discharge all its
obligations in the currency recognized
as the best throughout the civilized
world at the time of payment"
That is as much as to say that II
John promises to deliver wheat to James
on the first day Of the next year, and II
lat the time OF payment" corn is worth
more than wheat, he must pay in corn.
Not only does the President clearly
commit himself and his administration
to the gold standard, but he dehantly
commits his whole party to it, and
urges immediate appeals to Congress for
action 1T will not suffice" he says,
for citizens nowadays to say simply
that they are in favor of sound money.
That is not enough. The peoples pur-
pose must be given the vitality Of public
law"
Wonder how silver Republicans who
are still In the party will take that?

Who Are the RepudiatOrs2

The New York Sun, commenting on
the provisions of resolution introduced
in the Senate by Mr.. Vest, Of Missouri,
sums up It's argument In these words:
Here Is the whole controversy Ia q
nut shell: Shall the United States take
advantage Of'a technicality, which undev
niably permits 1t to do so, and cheat It's
creditors out of half their honest dues,
or shall 1t obey the spirit Of It's contract,
in spite OF the permission which the
letter gives to violate IT."
II the Sun Is right, then every time
a silver dollar is paid into the Sun Of
fee on subscription or advertising, that
excellent journal Is cheated out OF So
cents. Instead Of getting a dollar, the
cashier, in fact, gets but half dollar.
Now, nobody believes such stun az that.
There are about 6O,00O,0OO silver dollars
in circulation in the country. They pass
from hand to hand at least once every
week day, which is equivalent to 1S,OO0,rl
0OO,O 900 dollars In year of 300 days. Ae-
cording to the Suns theory, that wouldI
entail a loss on the people equal tol
SO, ,OO0, ,O00,O 900.

Let Us Appeal to the Record.

The debate between Messrs. Curtis and
Simpson, the other day, on the question
who or what is responsible for the i'm
proved condition of business now as
compared with that of some prior years,
is suggestive. Those gentlemen, being
politicians, rather than statesmen, logi-
cally gave credit to the political parties
to which they each belong. An appeal
to the record will show how shallow Is
such philosophy.
The first panic Of destructive inhu-
ences since the war came In 1873, the
second in 1884, the third in 1890, the
fourth in 1893. The gold standard was
adopted in 1873, when all departments
OF the government were in the hands
Of Republicans, and q Republican tariff
law was in force all the time. The Presi-
dent and one branch Of Congress were
Republican except two years from 1875
till 1885. The financial policy Of the
government has been Republican all the
time to the present, and the same may
be said with respect to the revenues, for
the Wilson law, in force from 1894 to
1897, was more Republican than Demo-
crat so far as its protection features

Conditions Have Changed, Have They2

AS an excuse for altering the contract
without asking the peoples consent, the
gold standard people say conditions
have changed so as not only to justify
but require the payment Of our pecu
mary obligations in gold, though we
never promised to do so. That Is what
Senator Allison said the other day in
answer to a question.
Let us think about that doctrine a
minute or two. Conditions have changed.
Grant 1t. In whose favor? Here are
some figures which will throw light on
the question:

tlon Of wheat in the United States and
