The Bland-Allison law was not gen.
eral. Its enactments were limited by
special provisions. 1t did not provide
for the free and unlimited coinage of
silver, as should have been, to meet the
necessities of our great, growing and
indebted country and as had always
been, under our government until 1873,
and as the constitutional rights of our
people required. The limitations were
that the secretary of the treasury was
ordered to purchase from 100000 to
81 100000 only of silver bullion per
month; and coin the same; while coin
age should be a lega! tender, except
where otherwise provided by con-
tract" this limiting the amount OF
silver, anG by limitation depreciating
and discrediting it. 1t also nabled
creditors to force gold contracts. and
destroyed the legal equality of gold and
silver coin. The country responded to
this law-it being very much better
than nothing-by an immediate adj
vance in the values of property and by
an active resumption of the industries

BLUNrLY TOLD TRUTHS.
Senator Hanna's Civil Service Views
Repudiated by Honest Re-
publicans.

The New York Press, which is uncom-
promisingly republican and therefore
| not chargeable with political prejudice
| in its comments, takes exceptions to the
recent expressions by Senator Hanna
regarding the changes in civil services
exemption and says he twill not find
himself in accord with Independent and
republican sentiment"
The Press admits that the "step back
ward" might be made use of as an aid to
securing a presidential nomination, the
politicians viewpoint being unanimous
on the question. But, it declares, ''those
who are interested in the republican
party from other viewpoints than the
politicians regard the getting of votes
at the polls to elect candidates as of
heavier Importance to the party and
country than getting delegates to vote
in convention to nominate candidates.
And while the step backward can be
used to get delegates, it can hardly be
made to serve any other purpose than
to lose votes at the polls.
This New York republican paper
truthfully says that the American
voters are supporters OF the civil serv-
cause of its championship of these prin-
ciples the republican party has gained
the confidence and aid of thousands of
voters who otherwise were not in the
strongest sympathy with that party.
To take this ''step backward" then, was
to invite believers in a better civil serv-
ice to look elsewhere than to the pres
ent executive for what they seek.
The practical politics" argument,
according to the contention of the New
York Press, might have leg to stand
on if the practical politicians" believed
that it was absolutely necessary to re-
nominate Mckinley, and that the only
possible way to secure that renomina-
ton was by the civil service ''step back
ward" But the practical politicians"
think it is a foregone conclusion that
he will be renominated. To achieve the
purpose of practical politics" says the
republican paper, ''it was not necessary
to backslide on the civil service question
and sacrifice the votes of civil service
folk
There is sound sense in this, and it is
commended to the careful considera-
ton of the delegates to the Ohio repub-
lican state convention who so heartily
commended the president for his Judi
cious notifications of the civil service
rules recently promulgated" The New
York republican paper is doubtless
right when it says 1.-The party must suf
fer more or less now, and a great deal
more later, when, more pressing ques-
tons having been disposed of, we are
called upon for reckoning of the step
backward ''s-Cleyeland Plain Dealer,

wHIRL WIND OF TRUSTS.
Republican Protection Has Brought
Forth Its Legitimate
Fruits.

Havemeyer's statement that the re-
publican tariff is the mother of trusts is
not new, but it is Enthusiastically,
undeniably true. Protection is as sure
ly breeder of the trust evil as is filth
the begetter of disease.
One republican organ which has of
late been denouncing trusts in a Pick
wickian sense said recently that behind
the democratic cutlery against trusts
was the concealed motive to destroy the
principle of protection in our revenue
laws. The democrats have never made
any concealment about the matter.
They have always from the beginning
of their party history opposed class Leg
islation, and the principle of protection
embodies the most fragrant form of
class legislation. They have always OPP
posed protective tariff because that is
the most pronounced form of legalized
robbery.
When the republican party went be-
fore the country advocating policy
which takes from the earnings of
the many tribute for the pockets of
the few, it planted in our public morals
the false tenet that it is proper to force
the consumer to pay the manufacturer
price beyond that derivable from COM
petitive profit solely to reward him for
being in the manufacturing business.
The republican party planted the
wind of protection and the country is
reaping the .whirlwind of trusts.
Mr.. Havemeyer argued logically when
he took the ground that the cure of the
tr.usf evil cannot he effected xvithout re-
moving its cause. The democracy pro-
poses, if intrusted with power, to elm
mate the protection feature from our
laws and place the tariff on purely
revenue basis. While doing this it will
attack trusts with every form of reme-
dial legislation deriyable from the fed
eral and state functions of government.

THAT ARMY OF DRUMMERS.
Workers for Mckinley i'm 1896 Who
Are Now without Oc-
cupation.

Mckinley was elected president in
1896 through the influence of the money
power.
Trusts poured out the money neces-
sary to buy votes to the extent of at
least S3,000,0 900, as admitted by repub-
lican leaders, and it is believed by intel
sum was expended.
One of the leading features of the
campaign was the efforts of the army
of commercial travellers, known colo
quially as drummers, to secure ballots
for Mckinley, the alleged advance agent
of prosperity. What reward has been
given to this army of drummers for
services rendered?
The answer to this question may be
found in the testimony before the in
dustrial commission of p. E. DOVE,
president of the Commercial Travellers
association. The figures he submitted
show that the organization of the
trusts had resulted in throwing $4,000
statesmen out of employment and in re-
ducing the salaries of $4,000 more.
President Dove estimated that the an
nual loss to the statesmen on account of
loss of employment and reductions ag-
gregated $50 200; to the hotels, $685.
O0O, 900, and to the railroads, S27 ZOO, 900,
because of the loss of patronage.
Perhaps the commercial travellers
may now regret their display of zeal in
behalf of a man whose election has
caused loss of employment in many
cases and reduction of salaries in most
eases.
In making his statement, the witness
said: The great tobacco combines
threw out about 5000 statesmen; the
Continental Tobacco company tele-
graphed the discharge of $50 in one day;
the Baking Powder trust has dispensed
with all excepting half q dozen men. /
know of two statesmen discharged by
the trust who were formerly in the en-
ploy of the Cleveland Baking Powder
company, one receiving a salary of
$4,000 a year, the other $4,000. Their
routes, with those of other discharged
statesmen, are covered by one agent at
SIS week"
In 1896 the drummers had to work for
Mckinley under duress and in fear of
losing their situations. Now large per
cent. of them have been discharged re-
gardless of what they did. They will
be heard from in 1900.-Chicago Demo-
crat.

FACTS OF THE SITUATION.
Neither sBenevOIent Assimilationse
Nor Successful Conquest, But
Guerrilla War.

Although the war in the Philippines
is Mr.. McKinley's own-congress never
having declared 1.-THE American peo-
pie are fighting and paying for it. They
are therefore entitled to full and trust
worthy information concerning it. A
double censorship, at Manila and at
Washington, keeps this information
from the people. But these facts are
not denied:
1. The war has now lasted for 139
days, or 25 days longer than our war
with Spain. We hold, after this period,
less of the territory than Spain occu-
pied and less than we held in August of
last year. The rebel forces are now
more troublesome" than at any former
time.
2. The war has cost nearly 700 men
killed, 800 wounded, 10000 invalidated.
It has cost S63, O0o, 900 in money, and is
costing nearly 100000 a day. Our
losses in the fighting in Cuba which re-
suited in the surrender of Santiago and
the end of the war with Spain were
about 23o killed and 300 wounded. Our
losses in Porto Rico were three killed
and 40 wounded.
3. There have been sent to Gen. Otis
$4,000 men. Some 1850 more are under
sailing orders. The president has de-
cided, it is said, quietly to enlist the 49,
600 volunteers he was authorized by
congress to add to the army for tenn
porary use.
4. According to the best expert tes-
timony it will take from 100000 to $780,
600 troops to subdue the Filipinos and
hold the principal points in the islands.
S. The rainy season will soon put an
end to campaigning. Fifty per cent.
of our men will be. incapacitated by
sickness and the territory overrun will
have to be abandoned; Manila will be in
a state of siege again." This is the tes-
timony of DIR. McQueston, late OF Gen.
Otis staff and health officer of Manila.
6. The presidents peace commission
lisa total failure, owing largely to its ina
bility to consider any terms except UNI
surrender and absolute sub
mission to the sovereignty of the
United States"
This is not pleasing picture. 1t is
neither benevolent assimilation" nor
successful conquest. 1t has all the APP
pearance of foolish and futile and end
less guerrilla war. If Mr.. Mckinley can
crush the insurrection by an over
force" as his supporters are
urging him to do, it is manifestly the
part of wisdom for him to do so. There
is neither honor nor profit in permit
ting this unnecessary and un-American
war to drag on into another year.-N

There was man who CHANGED. one day,
To hold a certain place
When Fate and Fortune passed that wa,
And looked him in the facet
When it was time to strike he struck
Nor stopped to weigh the causei
He wrought a marvel. by good luck,
And heard the worlds applause.
Then straightway he that had been there
To strike when il was time
Assumed a high and mighty air
And thought himself subIimel
lie made brave speeches unto men,
He boasted of his act,
And it became apparent then
How small he was, in fact.
H.
Another CHANGED, one day, to be
Where Fate and Fortune met,
He seized the opportunity.
His fame is spreading yeti
