BAD MONEY.
Secret of the Republican Change of
Front ON the Question of
Bime etalIism.

The outcry against "unsound" mon
ey is becoming ridiculous. The repub-
ican party never made that issue where
they were making money out of appre-
ciated gold and deprecated green
backs. 1t was only when it came to the
resumption of specie payments that
they discovered loss of profits if sill
yer should be placed on a parity with
gold. They got $2.55 in greenbacks for
one dollar in gold, but as soon as specie
payments began to be made in gold and
silver. the greenback became the equal
of gold, because the couetry was able to
produce the coin of redemption. Silver
was in their way, and having got rid of
it, they purpose returning to the good
old times when their gold dollar was
worth $2.s5 in greenbacks, though now
the greenbacks are to be substituted by
bank paper secured by individual prom
issory notes. During the war of the re-
bellion wages were high, but the sur
plus was absorbed by the increase in the
price. of necessaries, just the sa=ac as
uow.--C. III. Robinson.

Britain and the United States.-N. Y.

There can be no efficient rene

high protective tariffs in this country.
The fountain must be cleaned out be-
fore the water in the stream can be-
come pure-Peoria ald-Transcript.
The election fraud disclosures in
Philadelphia show that republican
stronghold to be the rottenest, most
corrupt place in the country. SO far as
elections are concerned. New York
in Boss Tweed's time and the south
in reconstruction days were fairly de-
cent compared with the workings of
Quay's gangs of repeaters, thugs and
rers.-Indianapolis Sentinel
Ohio republicans are talking OF
an early convention next year to choose
Mckinley delegates to the national con-
vention in advance of the other states.
This by way of setting the pace and eN-
erting a moral effect against "any oppo-
sition to the denomination of the presi-
dent which may crop out" 1t seems to
be recognized that the results of the re-
cent election in that state were not
necessarily calculated to drown out all
opposition to Mr.. McKiniey.-Spring-
field (Mass.) Republican.
1t will be dangerous to read out
of the republican party certain great
republicans who steadfastly refuse to
indorse Mr.. McKinley's Imperialism,
men like Reed, of Maine; Edmunds.
of Vermont; Hoar, of Massachusetts,,
and many others now aligned against
the presidents policy. There will not
be much of the republican party left
if they are eliminated. The problem
of the ultimate fate of such republic
ans is extremely interesting as bear

BREAKING THE JAM


the cant-dogs clank, and the axes CLEAN,
And the bushes are black by the swollen
stream;
The ice swings down to the tumbled dam.
Inc planking says, and the stringers
rend;
The great logs jostle and grind and Jam
Ihey've locked the channel behind "the
bend"
Now where is the man who will come with
To worry the logs and chop the key?"
The boss looks round at his sturdy crew,
And Singing Bob" steps up with a
smile
I'm most as sure on my feet as you,
An guess we can hustle the thing In
style,'
With ak and peevy they run across,
1he little waterSpouts and toss;
Ihe light sticks twirl and the big sticks
grind,
And Bob, as he runs, begins to sing,
With never a glance at his chums behind,
Ihe Key Is found and the axes swing.
Punk punk-punk punk-despfte the roar
The chant of the axes beats to shore,
Ihe chopeprs arms have rhythmic lift
Fearless. as though they did not know
That the river is mad, and the logs are
drift,
And the twisting currents snarl below.
The deed is done! With pfunging leap
The torn logs start from their angered
sleep,
Across the tumult of maddened things
Bob and the boss come sprinting back,
As IL their cowhide boots had wings
or a-running jam were cinder track.

TRUST METHODS.
Results in She Tin Plate Industry
Through the Influence of
Protection.

Tie testimony given before the in
dustrial commission at Washington re-
veals in a clear light the purpose, the
methods and the results of industrial
trusts.
The tin trust is a typical product
of the tariff. A tin plate maker of
Washington, Pa, testified that his
company cleared 20 per cent. profit
last year, when the price of tin was
80 go per boX-the lowest ever known
TOR plate. Since then his company has
sold its plant to the trust, and the
price of tin plate has been advanced
to $4.65 per hundred. This, said the
witness, lis out of proportion to the
advance in wages and raw material"
Under present conditions ''$3.S4 would
be a profitable price"
The American Tin Plate company
was capitalized at $50,000,000. At the
time the trust was formed the plants
comprising the combination could
have been bought for $12,00O,000. Tc
protect the monopoly members of the
trust have secured control of machin-
ery used in the manufacture and re.
fuse to sell it to independent mills.
The witness considered the tariff es
sential to the protection of the tin
plate industry in this country, but he
would not say that so high a tariff
as the present was necessary to its ex
istence AS a matter of fact the Amer
lean industry was developed and flour
ished under the Wilson tariff, which
was just half the Mckinley rate. TIC
complete the story, a tin can manufac
turer testified that the quality OF
American plate has deteriorated since
the formation of the trust, owing tc
the thinness of the coating of tin
the natural result of a monopoly OF
the market.-N. Y. World.

LIGHT IN DARK PLACES.
The sDeadly Parallel' In Not All THAI
the GOldites Might Desire
mt Times.

Our goldite and imperialist contem-
poraries occasionally make a pretense
of drawing the deadly parallel" as to
prices of farm products now and dur
ing the bryan panic of 1896" But
they are very careful not to do the
subject justice. 1t is with pleasure,
therefore, that we quote from prices
of farm products during the bryan
panic" as we find them in the Omaha
WorldHerald, to assist our goldite
friends in getting at the truth. A few
quotations from that period, compared
with few quotations from the pres
ent time, will be interesting to the
farmers, but we venture the assertion
that none of our goldite imperialist
contemporaries will reproduce the fig
ures and comparisons.
During the Bryan panic" of 1896, a
farmer could bring seven bushels of
wheat to Springfield and trade it for
100 pounds of granulated sugar. To-
day the farmer has to give fen BUSH
els of wheat for 100 pounds of gran
ulated sugar. The farmers wheat is
to-day three per cent. lower than it was
during the Bryan panic" of 1896, while
the sugar for which the farmer must
trade his wheat has increased more
than 30 per cent. in price.
In October, 1896, right in the midst Of
the "Bryan panic" May corn was
quoted on the Chicago market at 30
cents; to-day right in the midst of
mckinley prosperity" it is quoted at
30 cents--an increase of 3h per cent.
But the farmer has to sell corn and buy
lumber, and the corn that has increased
3A per cent. must be traded for lumber
that has increased from 26 TO so per
cent.
Oats are now quoted 16 per cent,
higher than in the Bryan panic of
1896, but the farmer must sell oats to
buy barbed wire, and the oats that
have increased 16 per cent. must be sold
to buy barbed wire that has increased
100 per cent.
During the Bryan panic of 1896 po-
tatoes were quoted at 40 to so certs a
bushel Now, in the midst of ''MrsKin-
ley prosperity" they are quoted nt 20
70 30 cents a bushel--a reduction Of so
per cent. And the farmer who hauls
potatoes to market to-day finds .hat
they have fallen off so per cent. in price
since the Bryan panic" of 1896, while
the shiplap lumber, which he must buy
with the money received for the po-
'atoes, has increased 25 per cent. And
SO it goes all along the line. The farm
er and plain producer get IL in the
neck every time under the McHanna

Prosperity Dearly Bought.

War times are always prosperous for
the people who stay at home. There
is q side of logic, which finds notL1hg
but cause for joy in this condition. If
there is increased activity in factories,
IL there is more running up and down
the face of the earth, if there is a de-
mand for the things which in times of
peace were liable to overproduction.

there is lowered vitality, a less health

no burden of unstable stock on hand.
They have amassed wealth selling at a

riod of low morals, of vicious tendencies
and of profiigacy which possesses all

of that comes a season of commercial

HANNA WILL STICK.
The Ohio Republican Boss Is Not
Disposed to Step Down
and Out.

Whoever started the report that Sen
ator Mark Hanna would quiz" so long
as he had any political interests or
friends to help, either did not know the
man, was misled by false information
or willfully sought, for some purpose,
to create a false impression among
the people.
Senator Hanna is a mild-mannered,
mild-looking, mild-speaking man. So
was Truthful James," but when, in
the language peculiar to his associa-
tions, it came to a 'show down." James
was frightful terror and his enemies
took Filipino gait to the refuge of tall
prairie grass or some friendly bit of
timber growth in the immediate vi
cinity.
The senator has many of the same
attributes, directed, of course, in the
approved channels of higher civiliza
ton. Some of this may be charged to
environment. The senator grew up
with the fighting McCooks. He used to
hobnob with Edwin NJ. Stanton when
court was in session, despite disparity
in years. He heard Garfield preach,
lived across the creek from Vallandig
ham, lived in the same valley with Nc
Kinley and in the very storm center of
trouble in the old anti-slavery days.
This was a school for courage, per-
sistency and lasting qualities. He
fought his way to the front in the busi-
ness world. No one ever got the best
of him without knowing that there had
been an awful fight. He never went out
in search of friends, but those to whom
he processes that relationship can de-
pend on him through all kinds of wealth
er and all seasons of the year. He knows
nothing about letting go when he has
taken hold. He is not always tactful or
polite. but he is in deadly earnest and
has the tenacity of purpose that char
acteriZed the lamented Zach Chandler.
Right or wrong in the estimation of
opposing critics, when Senator Hanna
charts out a course he is going to sail
it or go down trying. If any of his OPP
ponents have based their plans on the
belief that the prospect of rough wealth
er will drive him to harbor they will be
wise to make different arrangements

PRESIDENT AND PARTY.
Corrupt Republican Bosses Will
Stand by Their Patron Only
So Long as 1t Pays.


The current talk of an early republic
IN convention in Ohio next year, in
,rder to set the pace and guard against
ANY opposition to the denomination of
the president which may crop out" is
full of interest and significance. Why
should anything of the sort be neces-
sary? The field may be surveyed in
every direction, without disclosing an
avowed candidate against Mr.. McKin-
ley. To all appearances, the next re-
publican convention will be nothing
more than ratification meeting to put
through, without opposition or protest,
the second term plans of President Me
kinley and Mr.. Hanna.
Thatdoubtsa and dapprehensions should
De entertained in Ohio is most singular
of ali. Ohio has just recorded, so the
administration mathematicians tell US.
a verdict of sweeping approval and
Endorsement of the Mckinley admins
trstion. Every vote cast for Nash was,
of course, a vote in favor Of the second
term; every vote cast for Jones was
cast, according to the official admins
tration explanation, under the impress
sion that Jones was trifle better Nc
Kinley man than Nash-and, if the
truth were known, probably McLean's
vote was intended as an indorseno -
and approval of the Mckinley admi; :
tration in disguise. Why, under sue,
conditions, need the pace be set? Who
could secretly conspire to set on foot
schemes against the denomination of a
president so signally and multifariously
.ndorsed?
A guilty conscience, it is said, needs
no accuser. An administration con-
scious of it's own utter weakness and
unfitness cannot shake off the fear that,
even yet, opposition from some source
will compel the nomination of a
stronger man.. The corrupt but omnipo-
tent republican bosses, who have been
fed with the richest of the patronage at
Mr.. McKinley's disposal, will stand by
him only as long as it seems to pay
them to do so-and well the administra-
ton knows it. So fully do the poll
ticians and officeholders comprising the
republican inner circle realize the
weakness, the vacillation, the vulnera-
bility of the Mckinley administration,
that they cannot believe it possible that
the party rank and file will acquiesce in
the second term project. President
McKinley's Ohio friends are preparing
to fight an opposition which they cam
not see, but which, in the very nature
Of things, they feel must eNist-they de-
luce it from their inner consciousness,
from the past history of country and
party, from the logic and proprieties of
the situation, as an astronomer deduces
new planet, or a chemist the existence
ot previously unknown element.
The pretended confidence of Mr.. Nc
Kinley's supporters is nothing but pre-
tence. They know how weak and vul-
nerable a candidate he will be; and
their only hope, in case of his renomi-
nation, is that the democratic leaders
will overlook the weak spots, to strike
at those where McKinIeyism cannot, at
present, be successfully attacked.-Al-
bany Argus.

THE ORIGINAL RIP.
Parallel of IrvinE's Story of the Old
VngEbOnd Was Current Many
Centuries Ago.

The original Rip Van Wrinkle was the
Cretan philosopher and poet. Epi-
menides. who was contemporary with
Solon. While yet boy, on being sent
by his father in search of a straying
sheep. he entered cave and fell into
a sleep which lasted 81 years. When at
last he awoke he was astonished to
find all things changed and himself
greatly aged. The Greeks looked upon
Epimenides as a favorite with the gods,
and the Athenians, whom he delivered
from the plague in 500 B. c., greatly
honored him. He died in Crete after
reaching a very great age-157 years
according to Laertius. but 300 accord
ing to the account of the Cretans. who,
after his death. paid him divine hOnors.
He wrote 5000 verses on the geneaiOgy
of the gods; $500 on the building Of the
ship Argos and Jason's expedition to
Colchos. and 1000 concerning Mines
and RhaGamanthus. He wrote also in
prose concerning sacrifices and the
commonwealth of Crete. ST. Jerome
mentions his book of oracles and re-
sponses. and Plutarch. in his Life OF
Solon." states that Epimenides was &C
counted the seventh wise man by those
who would not admit Periander into
the number.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
