Minneapolis Journal: Wher-
ever Mr.. Bryan goes he talks
much about the money of the
constitution" restoring the
money of the constitution and
similar phrases. The constitu-
ton alludes to money only in Civ
ing congress power to coin it and
regulate the value thereof and of
foreign coins, and forblds the
states to coin money, emit bills of
credit or make anything but gold
and silver coin legal tender in
payments of debts. That is all.
The constitution saws nothing
about monetary standard. Ham,
ilton and Jefferson tried to estab-
lish the "doub]e standard" in
1892, but they couldn't yoke the
metals together. They wouldn t
stay at the Is to 1 cent ratio. and
never did in the history of Ameri.
can finance or any other finance,
and the commercial ratio being
now nearly 40 to 1, the talk Of
''free coinage, Is to l." IS absurd.
There never has been any money
of the constitution, because the
constitution nowhere establishes
a mon etary standard. The legis-
latlye experiment in bimetallism a
few years after the constitution
was adopted was complete fail
ure, and after that the country
suffered at brief intervals from
red.dog paper currency during the
whole period Of theoretical bimet-
allism.

From the American Economist.
NOT SUCH A FAILURE.

From the American Economist.
NOT SUCH A FAILURE.
Constructing arguments against
the tariff is a precarious occupa'
ton nowadays. OF course it was
necessary to discredit the Dinghy
act, without awaiting the slow
logic of events. Thi. was easy
enough. The Republicans had
made 1t so. They had made much
OF the deficit as u party cry. They
asked for power distinctly in order
that they might produce revenue
rs WILL as protect the Industries.
They got power, and here is the
revenue scheme they offer: lit
may b. efficient, more or less, for
protection, but as an income pro.
ducer it will be- a dead failure. -
So unused tn. low tariff and no
tariff prophets.
Gong back to Lord Burleigh,
they said: "Do Abe your rauss
and halve your revenue. The Ill.
come was too small under the
Wilson act; how can it be greater
with the duties so much higher,
made so for the distinct purpose
of shutting out foreign goods tor
the benefit Of doMestics manu-.
tactu. e!'
Wasn't that conclusive? Is.
peclaIIy with the country crowded
with goods brought Ill to escape
paying duties under the new law.
Mr.. Dinghy made statement
He didn't promise surplus all at
o &c. He thought it would be
about six months befor the full e.
feet Of the new bill could be felt.
The advance i'm; .orts would have
to go into consumption and be
followed by fresh shipments.
And yet the Dingley act was de.
nounced in September as failure
and u fraud, as a proof Of the in
comp .tency of it's authors and spon.
sors, because, forsooth, it did not
produce IN the month Of August
as much revenue as the Wilson
act produced in August, 1896 and
1895.
Five months have come and
gone. The revenue under the
Dinghy act has steadily plodded
upward. The year ends and
Mr.. Ding1ey's modest foresight Is
bling verified with singular &C.
curacy.. The Burleigh maxim
was all right, no doubt, but there
was al element in this problem to
which the opposing gentlemen
did not give sufficient weight.
That was the improved consum.
ing ability of better times. As.
sured Of some security in their
own market, our manufacturers IN.
creased the number of their EN-
pl>yees and their wages. Pros.
pcrity has been at work, and
people buy more'goods. foreign as
we'll as domestic. Consumption
has ever outrun expectation, as
indicated in the wool situation.
Six months ago it was freely said
that we had a two year stock. of
foreign wool on hand. Yet wool
is already being imported again,
and the home clip is we'll taken
care of.
The current IS now pertty wellin
motion from shore to shore, and
the revenue is likely to grow
right along. 1t is pretty clear
that the criticisms and predlc-
tions anent the Dingley act as a
failure were mistakes.
