Mr.. Bryan is not a "bimetal-
list" as he claims but silver
monometallist.
In the platform which he put
forth at Omaha as the expression
of his views, Mr.. Bryan insists
more strenuously than ever upon
what the Chicago platform de-
handed: "Free and unlimited
coinage at 16 to I, without wait
ing for the aid or consent of any
other nation" And his platform
declares this to be the natural
and necessary ratio"
Why "natural"? 1t is not the
commercial ratio" which Jeffer-
son said should always govern.
1t is a ratiD fixed by law when it
represented substantially the rela-
tive value of the two money met
als--a legal recognition of COM
mercial fact.
Why necessary? This coun-
try has had three ratio-I5, 15H
and I6. Other countries have
had different ratios. Why is "16
to I" selected as peculiarly bind
ing-as sacred as the divine code,
as Interchangeable as the laws of
the Modes and Persians?
The truth is, as we have said,
that in taking this position Mr..
Bryan stamps himself as a silver
monometallist, and if he were
wholly honest he would admit it,
He has read history enough to
know that never! NEVER! !!
NEVER!!! in this country or in
any other, have gold and silver
circulated side by side-giving
practical bimetallism-when both
were coined freely and without
limitation at I6 to or any other
false ratio. The cheaper money
and overvalued metal-every-
where and always drives out Of
circulation the dearer money-the
undervalued metal.
This has been the result time
and again in our own country
Sometimes this law banishes gold
sometimes silver-but always the
cheaper money stays, the more
valuable money goes.
In favoring the free and unlim,
tied coinage of silver at 10 to I
when the actual ratio is about 80
to I, Mr.. Bryan would, therefore
instead of providing ':more mon
ey," which he says "makes times
better" cause the Withdrawal
from circulation of $500, ooo, zoo
in gold coin--more than one.
third of our total supply of mon
ey. This would be the most tire,
mendous and most disastrou
contraction of the currency
ever known in our history |
would put this country at oact
upon a silver basis of 5o-cent dol
lars, along with Mexico, almos
alone among the nations of tn
earth. = New York Worh

No Retreat Under Fire.

one thing-and a very proper
thing. Wholesale denunciation
Of the American spirit which re-
fuses to retreat under fire-coup-
led with the dedication Of black
mailing Malay sceundrel-is quite
another thing-and quite a bad
thing. A large and influential
section of the Democratic party
appears to be in peril of adopting
this latter policy as a campaign
issue. Such course will be
fatal.
The forces of the United States
are in the Philippines. They
ought not to be there; or, rather,
they woald not be there if the
dictates of political prudence and
of ordinary justice had been heed
ed. But they are there. They
are going to stay there, and any
party which advocates their with
drawal while Emilio Aguinaldo
and his followers are in arms
against them will be overwhelm-
ingly defeated at the polls. Moth
ing can be surer.
1t is idle to chop logic and spin
sentiment in the face of facts.
Admftted-as every sane man
will admit--that the purchase of
the Philippine archipelago was a
mistake--that the islands will cost
more than they will'ever come to;
admitted, likewise, that the sub
jugation of a people aspiring to
independence is un-American and
subversive of every national ira
dition, one supreme fact remains.
The inhabitants of the Philippines
are resisting with armed force the
military power of the United
States. Rightly or wrongly
officially or unethically-a major
ity, and a very large majority, of
the American people demand that
such armed resistance be crushed
out before the main issue can be
discussed at all. So long as there
is on the island of Luzon a single
man who, with arms in his hands,
defes this nation it is impossible
that there shall be any move to-
ward Philippine independence.
The men who think otherwise
who imagine that the people of
this country will consent to nego-
tiate under the shadow of coer-
cion-are ignorant of American
history and of the American peo-
pie.
Judge Tarvin, Senator Tillman
and the other orators who advo-
cate the withdrawal of the United
States forces from the Philippines
in the face of the armed opposi-
ton know in their hearts that the
thing is impossible. What is
more, those gentlemen would not
consent to such a proceeding il
the decision lay with them, for
the stock from which Judge Tar
vim and Judge Tilfman are sprung
does not retreat under fire, as il
has been demonstrated from 177t
down to the Spanish American
war. They are talking for polit-
ical effect and they are making
an objectionable blunder.
AS for the assertion of Con
gresham Lentz that Aguinaldc
is a Malay Patrick Henry, thu
declaration is political defamation
run mad. Emilio Aguinaldo i
no more like Patrick Henry thar
he is like Guatama Buddha
There may be, and there doubt
less are, in the Philippines mer
who in patriotism, virtue and de
votion rival the great Virginian

OUR COLONIAL TRADE.
II is Rapidly Increasing Moro Than
Doubled In One Year.

day a statement OF the trade OF
the United States and all Of her
colonies under military and with
Cuba as we'll for the seven
months of 1899, ending July 31st,
making comparisons with the
year 1898.
The exports from the United
States to Cuba for the seven
months were Sr4, nc, 1893 in 1899,
against $4,4S5,937 in 1893. The
imports to the United States from
Cuba for the same period were
$1o,o76,o56 in 1899, against $12,-
47477o in 1893.
The exports from the United
States to Porto Rico for the sew
en- months were $2,2eo,221 in
1899, against $56o,11o in 1893.
Imports into the United States
from Porto Rico during the same
time were $3,379,944 in 1899,
against $2,253,8oo in 1898.
The exports from the United
States to the Philippine islands
from January 1st to July 31st
were 1886, 100 in 1899, against
$65,736 in 1888. The imports
into the United States from the
Philippines for the same period
were $3,274,I34 in 1899, against
So, 283,775 in 1898.
The trade of the United States
with the various islands when
stated by months show a marvel
GUS growth of our commerce.
The growth of exports by
months has been very gratifying
in all the islands and especially SO
in the Philippine islands.
The only fiscal year since 1877
showing for the entire twelve
months a larger value of mer-
Chandise exported from the Unit
ed States int5 Cuba than is shown
by the first seven months of 1899
were the years 1892, 1893 and
1894, If the same ratio is main
tanned until the end of the year
the imports into Cuba from the
United States will be larger than
the exports from the United
States to that island in any fiscal
year in the entire history of the
trade between this country and
Cuba.
The imports into the United
States from Cuba from January
1st to July 3Ist, 1899, were great
er than the corresponding i'm
ports for either the entire fiscal
years 1897 and 1898, if the ratio
is maintained for the remainder
OF this year the imports into this
country from Cuba will exceed
S32 100000 and be more than
double of those of the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1893.
The imports from Porto Rico
into the United States for the first
seven months of 1899 were larger
than those of any preceding fiscal
year since 1890, excepting 1898,
while the exports to Porto Rico
tor the first seven months of 1899
have been exceeded only by
three of the fiscal years since
1877.
AS fol the exports from the
United States to the Philippines
are concerned for the first seven
months of this year under Amer
lean occupation they are larger
than those of any previous year
in our history. Not only this,
but they are more than double
those of any year excepting the

At the close of the Methodist
conference, held last week at
Spokane, Wash, Bishop Vincent,
speaking of the mission of the
Methodist church, said: owe
don't care so much about heaven
as did our fathers. My mind
once constantly dwelt on what
heaven. was like. Now / seldom
think of it. l once thought a
great deal about trying to escape
hell. / don't think of it now. /
have come to find out that the
mission of the church is not to
make men escape he'll or to get
them into heaven. 1t is not to
make men happy. To be happy
is a small thing. / begin to feel
uncomfortable whenever / get
happy. The mission of the
church is to help men build up
character. If Methodism helps
men to build up earnest, honest,
conscientious, consecrated Chris
tian character, then / glory in
Methodism. / am Methodist,
first of all, because in Methodism
there are SO many opportunities"
