BinetaIIism.
Bimetallism still exists by law in til

Bimetallism still exists by law in the
United States.
This fact was established when the
Supreme Court of Michigan declared
the silver dollar to be legal tender.
Discussing this decision gold STAN
dard organ says: "While the Michigan
opinion can be Of no service to the
it ought to be of some use
to the cause of sound money, by deep
ening the conviction that we need
legislation ending the present ambi-
guilty and making gold the only un-
limited legal tender COIN"
Well, if the decision is of no service
to the silyerites," why does the gold
standard advocate suggest that ''we
need legislation ending the present
ambiguity"
AS matter of fact, there is no am
biguity. What the gold men want is
a reputation by this government of
$500, 100000 worth of currency, for
which the nation has received full
value in gold at par.
No greater dishonesty could be sug-
gested, no more gigantic robbery could
be committed than this reputation.
To reduce half a billion dollars of
legal tender money to the value of
bullion would be contraction of the
currency which would produce wide
spread disaster.
But the gold advocates are reckless
in their greed, reasonless in their ar
guments and heartless in their de-
mands.
Even the radical administration pa
per, the New York isau,, admits that
such reputation would precipitate
panic, would be dishonest and would
be nothing more nor less than ra-
duction by one-half in the value of
$500, 100000 worth of coin now worth
its face and declared to be absolutely
a legal tender.-Democrat.

to the breeze, the water sliding swiftly
back from their shark-like bows. When
ever they smashed into an unusually
large sea the spray spurted from either
side 20 feet into the air.
Shamrock in the Lead,
After the Columbia had gotten a
mile ahead and the yachts were way
over under the Jersey shore the breeze
again half failed and the Shamrock
drew gradually ahead. 1t was marvel
Gus that in so light breeze boat
could slip so swiftly through the sea.
After that the Shamrock was never
headed, but from that time to the finish
the Columbia had nothing but bad luck.
In addition to her faster footing powers
in the extremely light air, every puff of
the capricious wind seemed to strike
the Shamrock and leave the Yankee
boat practically becalmed. Edge as she
would toward every streak of wind, she
seemed unable to find it. The Sham
rock gained foot by foot until she over
hauled the Yankee, crossed her bows,
and when the time limit was up was
fully quarter of mile ahead. Taken
altogether, there could not have been
a more unsatisfactory race, and yet as
result of it the friends of the cup de-
fender seemed proud of the showing
she made, and feel confident that the
cup is safe.

New York, Oct. AT sunset Monday
the biggest crowd of sightseers and
yachtsmen who ever sailed down to
Sandy Hook to witness the attempt OF
foreign mug hunter to wrest from
America the yachting supremacy OF the
world, returned to New York crestfall-
en- and disappointed. The winds from
the caves of old ocean had proved too
light and shifty, and the first of the in
ternational series of 1899 between the
two greatest racing machines ever pro-
duced by England and America de-
generated into drifting match, and
had to be declared off because neither
could reach the finish line in the time
allotted by the rules. To avoid just
such winds as occurred Monday, in
which luck and not the crew and yachts
win, the rules provide that if one of the
boats does not finish within 5A hours
the race is declared off, SO at the end of
the time Monday evening, when the
yachts We're still four miles from home,
with the Shamrock leading by some
thing more than quarter of mile, the
committee officially declared that there
had been no race. The yachts We're then
taken in tow by their respective tugs
and brought back to their anchorage
inside Sandy Hook.
The Columbia is undoubtedly the
prettier boat. She is tall, stately, with
graceful lines and towering masts. The
Irish boat, with her broader beam and
longer base line, looked slower and
heavier. Perhaps her green color

yachts and tugs at perfectly safe dis
lance from the canvas-clcuded racers.
On the way down they maintained two
parallel lines a mile apart, two line
fences through which not one of the |
pushing, crowding fleet of excursion
vessels was permitted to poke his nose.
The Course.
The course was laid Is miles dead be- |
fore the wind and back again. The di-
rection of the wind carried this course |
south-southwest from the Sandy Hook
ightship almost straight down the Jer-
sey coast to point off Asbury Park,
where white float with red ball was
placed to mark the turning point.
The Columbia was admirably handled
throughout the race. Though the Sham
rock was first across the line by 43 sec
onds, the Columbia's Deer island crew
of Yankees, wearing their picturesque
watch caps in Iselin's colors, were so
much handler than their Scotch rivals
that they had the Columbia spinnaker
and balloon jib set first by three min
utes. The spectators marveled at the
cloud of canvas the Leyiathans carried.
Straight up into the air the slender
yards carried the point of the pyramids
of canvas for IT'S feet. 1t is hard to
realize that this means the height of an
ordinary 12-story building, and that the
frail >hulls were bowling along under
the pressure of $4,000 feet of canvas.
Beautiful Spectacle.
The Columbia was the first to the
mark, and as she reached the stake
boat the excursion fleet gathered there
to greet her unbottled their enthusiasm
and gave her an ovation from thou
sand whistles. The feet also courteous
+ ly saluted the Shamrock as she went
around, two minutes and one second
later. On the beat home against head
wind the Columbia showed her heels
to the Irish boat Enthusiastically while
the wind held. Time after time the
, Shamrock tried for the weather gauge,
lufing, squeezing and pinching until
her headsails trembled, but without
avail. The Columbia not only held as
high. but outfooted her tack after tack.

Mckinley became president of the
United States.
Judge Nash, the republican candi-
date for governor of Ohio, in his
Akron speech, said:
s'Within the last few years many of
the business men of this country have
consolidated their great interests into
corporations and combinations which
are popularity known as trusts. The
men who conduct our manufactures,
trade and commerce are generally
intelligent, far-seeing citizens, with
patriotism equal to that of any other
class of citizens. / am very loath to
believe that these men would know
ingly do anything that would be detri-
mental to the country or to their
fellow citizens"
That shows what kind of an anti
trust man Nash is, and what kind OF
antitrust action may be expected on
the part of the republicans in Mark
Hanna'S state.
1t is nonsense for Hanna to talk
about any antitrust action on the
part of the neutrality-suspicious. combine.
Perhaps some sort of juggle may
result in some sort of an antitrust
platform, but it will simply be lie
uttered for the sake of securing votes.
Trusts will be political issue in 1900,
as Mark Hanna will discover to his
discomfort.

Demand and Supply.

There used to be belief that the law
of demand and supply could be depend
ed upon to regulate somewhas justly
the price of commodities.
That belief has become outworn. 1t
is tradition of the past, a relic of the
old days when competition existed.
No longer does competition exist.
The trusts heve destroyed it, and with
it have they destroyed the old rela-
lions between demand and supply.
Controlling the raw material, hold
ing in their grasp the means of trans
portation, arbitrarily setting the scale
of wages, the trusts can safely limit
the supply and thus strengthen the
demand.
Where hundred tons of coal are re-
quired by a reasonable and natural de-
mand, the trusts reduce the supply to
fifty tones, and then aaise the price to
meet this artiticially increased demand
This could not be done did COMPETE
ton still live, but competition is dead
and the trusts thrive.
Here in Chicago the price of coal has
been raised three times since the be-
ginning of August last. Is it because
the mines are wanting in coal? Is it
because labor is hard to get and de-
handing high wages? Is it because
there are no means Of transportation:
Assuredly not. 1t is simply because
the supply of coal has been arbitrarily
diminished.
Meanwhile, as John j. ingalls, has
truthfnlly remarked, the condition OF
millions of laborers, miners, operat,
ives and factory hands is simply ire
deemably deeper in helpless depend
ence and hopeless subsection.
The consumer is made the victim Of
artifcially created conditions, the
natural law of supply and demand has
beenabrogated and the trusts triumph.

Defenders Of Trusts.

While Hanna recently said in New
York that the republican party would
put an ANTITRUST plank in their ma
tional platform and thus take the
wind out of democratic sails, republi-
can candidates for governor in Ohio
and Iowa are defending the trusts in
their campaign speeches.
Nothing could show the hypocrisy
and inconsistency of the republican
boss more clearly than these facts.
Hanna fayors the trusts. He knows
that his candidate for president,
William Mckinley, owes his election
to the trusts and he knows that his
party has fostered and protected the
trusts.
Hanna also knows that the trusts
never became an issue, never mani

IMPRESSIVE SCENE In WASHINGTON.
ELOQUENT Address by Secretary Long
President Presents the sword
Dewey's Reply-A Dinner at
the White House.

Washington, Oct. 4.-The elimination OF
Admiral Dewey's triumphal homecoming
was reached Tuesday in the shadow OF
the dome of the national capitol. Here
he received from the hands of the presi-
dent the magnificent jeweled sword voted
him by congress in commentator OF the
victory of Manila bay. This was the oh-
cial provocation for the ceremony. But
more official sanction could never nave
thrown into the demonstration the fervor
of enthusia SIN that was melted out to the
admiral as he appeared before the vast
audience, composed not only of all the
highest officials in the land, but of spec
tators drawn from every quarter of the
United States. The battle of Manila bay
was not forgotten, but it might be said
to have been relegated almost to second
place in the desire to do honor to the man
who had proved himself as great after
victory as before it, and who had shown
in the long and trying months that fol-
lowed his naval triumph the qualities of
a statesman and wise administrator, as
we'll as those of the fighting leader of
victorious fleet.
Ovation to Schley.
One of the most remarkable features of
the eventful day was the ovation to Rear
Admiral Schley on the return of the party
from the capitol TO the white house. His
carriage was several numbers behind that
of the president and Admiral Dewey, and
received an ovation that could be scarcely
ranked below that accorded to the adj
miral himself. The tunult grew as the
carriage proceeded down the avenue, and
