efforts to secure for this nation such imam
cial legislation as shall make US. CONNER
cially, the strongest nation in the world.
4 protest Is made against the pollution
of the Democratic party by alliance with
Populists and silver Republicans. There
is no lodging as to the position OF ne
party on the financial question. The COM
mittee declares unequivocally that tho
party is in favor of the gold standard. but
Genounces the Republican party for its
failure to give the financial relief that
was expected. The party stands for the
gold standard, monetary reform. tariff for
revenue only. civil service reform. rigid
economy In the administration Of the gov
eminent. the maintenance of law and or
der, freedom Of contract. and the protec-
ton OF all contract rights.
That is the platform upon which The
Times has planted itself and upon that
platform 1t will stand. even II It must
stand there alone There is no other party
that represents to-day these principles Of
Jeffersonian Democracy.
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1898-10-18

one Of the fayorite arguments or the
free silver advocates IS that by the
"crlme of 49, the price Of gold was
greatly appreciated and the price Of ST.
yer greatly deprecated. The cialin'
therefore that if the mints Of the coun-
trv were omen to silver its value would
he enhanced while the price Of gold
would come down. and so by the ascend
inc process on the one hand and the de-
scending processes on the other the two
metals would meet at the old-time parity
of sixteen to one.
Again when the objection is raised to
free coinage that It would result IN fore
ing upon the United States ffty-cent dol
lars the free coiner replies that silver
dollar would be as valuable then as now,
because as long as the Government would
receive a silver dollar for taxes at its
face value and as long as it could be
used to pay dollars worth Of debt no
man would let it so for less than its
face value.
Now let us put one of these arguments
against the other and see what conclu-
sions will follow. II is admitted in the
first proposition that the value Of the
gold dollar would be deprecated under
free coinage. but that would be the case
i'm this country only. In England, France,
Germany and the other great nations
of the earth where the gold standard
prevails the gold dollar would be worth
as much as ever, and nothing that this
country might do would affect its value.
so that according to the first free silver
argument above cited under free coinage
a gold dollar would purchase less IN the
United States than in the nations OF Eu-
rope. and so in the language Of the sec
ond free silver argument noted, we ask
who would employ a gold dollar in the
United States and let it 20 at a depre-
ciated value when he could employ the
same dollar abroad at its full value? II
the free silver man is right, then accord
ing to his own argument every gold dol
lar in this country would take wings al
once and 60 abroad TO the markets of
its greatest value, while silver would
come to the United States. the market OF
It's greatest value. AL OF which means
that under free coinage this country
would be on a silver basis, and we should
have nothing but silver with which TO
carry on our business transactions.
Ii IL apparent, therefore, that even by
the logic Of the free silver argument it
would be impossible to make silver and
gold circulate In this country at parity
OF sixteen 10 one SO long as the parity
in foreign nations IS thiriy-two to one.
We defy any free silver man to follow
his own logic to its legitimate end and
reach any other conclusion.

CHURCH AND STATE

~o ono can read the magnificent sd-
orosscs which were made at jamestown
IN Saturday last without being struck
with the fervid patriotic sentiment that
pcrvadcs them all.
The central thought that at jamestown
was born Amerlcanism. and each rev.
erend gentleman exploited American lib
erty and exalted and glorifad 1t and re-
ioiccd In #. II the occasion had been
a Fourth OF July celebration. and II the
orators had been laymen Instead OF
priests and bishops, this thought could
not have been more impressively driven
home. i was, indeed. no less patriotic
rally than a church rally.
There is a significance in this which
should not be passed without notice one
OF the cardinal doctrines OF the Ameri-
can republic Is the complete separation
OF Church and state. Under our Consu-
tuition religious liberty as guaranteed
Every American citizen has the right
TO worship God in his own way ana
he will be protected by the laws Of the
land in that right. The State cannot,
under our system, interfere with the
Church, and. per contra, the Church
cannot NEEDLE with the affairs Of state.
An American may be a devout church
man and devout patriot without
conflict.
II is significant we say. that these
bishops and priests of a church that In
days past exercised such an influence
over the political affairs Of England
should come from all parts OF the United
states to jamestown, there 10 emphasize
"a ,aooti7o Tho American idea. "Tf
you would find the seed plot Of repre-
sentative free government in America
said Or. McKim, ut 10 here. Here the
little band OF settlers batted and starv-
cd that in future years there might be
an English speaking people dominant IN
this Western Hemlsphere-that English,
not Spanish or French civilization might
take root and overspread the land-that
here the free spirit Of English liberty
might at length be supreme in America.
"What I would at this time wish TO
omphasize most" said Bishop Nichols
Of California, lis the origin of Ameri-
canism in its best type that should ever
make this place famed affair."
and this from Bishop Lawrence OF
Massachusetts:
The two bands, the Vlrginian and the
Bav state came from different parts of
England and had many points OF con-
trast in their social estate and education
The settlers Of Virginia and Massachu-
eetts. however. were Englishmen. not
Dutchmen or Huguenots; they with all
their superficial contrasts were funda-
mentally the same. their race. history
and traditions and Guardianship up to
within a few years Of the date that they
set sail. were the same. They both had
the Engltsman's love Of liberty. respect
for constitutional law. common sense,
and enterprise and courage under hard
conditions.
But that element has dominated from
the beginning. The blood Of all nations
now flows in the veins Of Americans but
# has been readily assimilated. There
is something in the air that we breathe
that instns the American principle max
inr one harmonious nation.
