|'1PKINLEYITFS'' AS SILVER
MEN.

Nov the Standard does not believe
that the McKinleyites or the Cleveland
ties of the west did their full duty in
supporting a great principle. but mas
much as honors are even, by what su-
periority do our Utah Democracy as
sumo to question the propriety or hon
esty or consistency of the McKinleyites
claiming to be silver men or of silver
Republicans accepting them as such?
says the Ogden Standard. mere were
no "Clevelandites" in Utah in 1896,
while there were many thousand NC
Kinleyites" in Utah in that year. Mr..
Cleveland was no friend of silver. and
he did all he could to carry his party
with him on the question. But what
did the party do? At Chicago it adopted
platform of principles. the more i'm
portant of which were in direct oppo-
sitior to the views of Mr.. Cleveland.
By this action the Democratic party
repudiated Mr.. Cleveland.
The Utah Democracy can very prop
erly question the consistency of the
''McKinleyites" claiming to be silver
men and the silver Republicans ac-
cepting them as such. And why? 1t
will scarcely be disputed that in Utah
the term "a silver man" means one who
believes in the free, unlimited and in
dependent coinage of silver. A NC
Kinleyite" is one who accepts the st.
Louis platform, which declares in spe-
cific terms that it is opposed to ''the
free coinage of silver except by inter
national agreement with the leading
commercial nations OF the world"
That is the position of your Mckinley
lite" on the silver question. Can any
man who holds that view be called a
silver man, as the term is understood
in Utah and the other free silver
states? If silver Republicans are will
ing to accept such men as good silver
men. that is their business; but if they
do, they viii set up an entirely different
standard from the one under which
they marched out of the st. Louis con-
vention, and under which they have
been training ever since.

The war excitement has called atten-
ton to the fact that all men recruited
fer the United States army must be ma
tive or naturalized citizens, says the
Kansas City Star. No alien can now
serve under the colors of the United
States. The result of what is to many
people a discovery is an increased in
terest in naturalization. Foreigners who
have served terms in the regular army
and been discharged are now taking
out naturalization papers. in order that
they may re-enlist. While there is no
call for increased stringency in our
naturalization, as TO length of resi-
dence and other main features, there
should be considerable more attention
given to the entire matter. The duty
of taking out final papers should be
made obligatory within a prescribed
period, and the granting OF the privi-
lege of citizenship should be the occa-
SIGN of prior notice and public solem-
nifty, instead OF being the hurried and
even fareical performance it is at pres
ont. The law making it necessary to
be an American citizen in order to be
an American soldier is a just and wise
one. and should go far to elevate the
idea OF citizenship.
The law is a just and wise one, and
every man who feels that he has
voice in directing the affairs of his
country viii feel a double interest in
defending his country. This is one of
the responsibilities that citizenship i'm
poses. and one that makes him prize it
more highly.

THE NEW CURRENCY PLAN.

The subcommittee of the house COM
mittee of banking and currency, which
has had a currency plan under con-
sideration for some time, has reported
bill and an explanation with it. The
bill is rather an intricate one, and re-
quires several careful readings to fully
comprehend it. II deals primarily with
the issue of currency by national
banks, but it is not likely to commend
itself to the national bank interests.
The report accompanying the bill dis
tinctly says that the purpose and eff
feet of the proposed bill is to throw
upon the national banks the entire
burden Of finding gold for the notes of
the country" II says there is no doubt
of their ability to do this IL it is re-
quired by law. That is true, but will

banks care to assume this responsible
ity in return for the privilege of issu-
ing notes on commercial assets?
A very curious provision of this bill
is that STANDARD silver dollars are to
be redeemed in gold, but silver certifi-.
Gates are redeemable only in standard
silver dollars" This is a double dis
elimination against silver. First, be-
cause it degrades the silver certificate
below the reserve notes; and. second,
because it makes of silver nothing but
token money. Could anything be more
absurd than to make legal tender notes
redeemab bic in token money? And this
is precisely what this bill proposes to
do. This provision regarding silver is
almost as cunningly drawn as was the
provision in the law of 1878. whereby
the coinage of the silver dollar was
dropped. 1t would take from silver all
its quality as a money of final redemp-
ton. That is no doubt one of the chief
objects of those who are offering this
bill. for If silver itself is to be re-
deemed in gold, how inconsistent and
illogical it would be to ask that arly
government obligation, whether cur
rency note or bond, be paid in silver
There is nothing said in this bill about
what shall constitute the monetary
standard of the country, but its enact
ment into law would fix irrevocably
upon the country the gold standard
There is no chance for this bill to be
enacted into law at this time, for the
country is much more interested in
other things. Even if it should pass
the house it could not possibly pass the
senate. 1t is the outcome of the
indianapolis monetary conference,
though its programme is somewhat
modified

When the sea is smiling.
So peacefully,
There stood q city
In days gone by.
But the green earth opened
To make a grave.
And the city slumbers
Beneath the wave.
Where life and beauty

The oozy rushss
And seaweeds grow.
The men that dwelt there
In days OF yore
Now hear rot, see not;
They aresno more.

And a faint. sweet music

The sunken town,
That family chimeth
Far fathoms down.
AS the sea breeze wanders
So softly by.

And moan and die.
Where now is moorland
Bsspeckled with gold.
Where the deep fogs thcken
And gather cold.
OF old there bloSsomed,
Divinely free.
A fairy kingdom
OF poesy.
A wondrous kingdom
OF mild delight.
Meath heaven dapplad
With dream clouds white;
A land of roses
With larks above.
OF bowers made balmy
BY the breath of love.
And now-the moorland,
Bespeckled with gold
The fogs that thicken
And gather cold;
The wondrous kingdom
OF days of yore
Now hears. not sees not,
