mckinley Is going on colning millions
OF dollars every rionth-every dollar ut
the ratio OF ld to /. There seems to be no
difference between the parties on the qles-
tlon OF ratio, John W. Kern. Democratic
candidate for governor Of Indiana.
This Is simply alpalpable perversion
OF the facts. Mr~kesn certainly knows
better. and we take it-that he has made
the above statement with the express
purpose OF deceiying the people. He
knows that under our present currency
system It Is not the weight OF the Sill
yer dollar that determines Its value. but
the fact that the government keeps 1t
worth a gold'dofl3t By restriction OF the
coinage and by an indirect system Of
redemption. 1t now makes no differ
ence TO the value, therefore, whether
the dollar contains 371h grains OF silver,
or 700 grains-whether 1t weighs 16
times as much rs the gold dollar or 30
times as much. The ratio is quite i'm
material, so long as the coinage Is limit
ed and carried on only on government
account, and the silver dollars are
maintained at q parity with gold. One
might us we'll talk Of the ratio Of 20Olto-
1 between copper and gold, or OF LOCO
toll, between paper and gold, as some
thing important.
But" says distinguished writer on
economies. "the moment you propose
free coinage, the ratio becomes of the
utmost Importance. For under free
coinage 1t Is the value Of the bullion in
the coin that determines the'value of
the coin. The silver in a coin only 16
times as heavy us a gold dollar is worth
at the present price OF silver, only fifty
cents. Under free coinage 1t would take
q silver coin 80 times as heavy as the
gold dollar to be worth q dollar Of our
present standard, If @ coin of any less
weight were made a legal tender for
dollar, 1t would, under free coinage, de-
preciate the value OF the dollar" and
a silver dollar OF 371A grains nc times
the weight OF the gold dollar) would be
worth only half as much as the present
dollar.
80. while the relative weights OF the
coins of the two metals are immatrrlal
under our present system OF restricted
coinage and maintenance of parity,
such weight ratio would be very i'm
po,tant under free coinage"

Whats to, Hammer to Jones.


With all their wild waillng about
trusts, and the daily inslstent trailing
OF the octopus TO Its lair" the Demo-
cratic leaders have neglected 10 exam
Inc their own household for skeletons In
the closets. The Hon. John X. Jones,
chairman Of the Democratic national
committee. Is one OF these persistent
skeletons who will keep grinn!ng while
Bryan is hammrring the octopus. Jones
is the president of one OF the vicious
monopolies, that are hourly condemned
by the Inconsistent Democratic speak
ers-the Round Cotton Bale Trust.
Texas, thoroughly and hopalessly
Organized state, recently passed very
stringent antitrust law. or late Il
number OF complaints have been made.
In different parts of the state Of alleged
violations OF the new antitrust law by
the American Cotton Company, better
known as the round-bale trust. Here
toforc the trust has refused to sell Its
patented machinery. and all cotton bal
Ing plants In which their rounG-bale
presses were used were under lease.
The new law requires tina. they shall
sell this machinery tgany one desiring
to buy the same. Notwithstanding this
law. 1t Is charged thae the trust Is con-
tinulng Its leasing practice, and that 1t
now virtually has Il monopoly on the
cotton business In Texas These COM
plalnta are being Investigated by the
prosecuting and county attorneys OF The
localities where the soleged violations
occurred. and itis.esleaeI tliatIndict-
mcnts will soon b. returned ng;linst tho

ncratic leaders to hold on these pro-
posed indictments until aftur the COM

AS to the Germans.

We suppose that those Germans who
voted for Mr.. Bryan in 1896 may vote
for him this year. tits possible that some
of them may not. since experiencing the
benefits of prosperity under President
McKinley's administration Of the affairs
OF the country. But the claim Of the
Bryanites that they are daily gaining
accessions of Germans through the fear
OF Imperialism and mllitarism is the
veriest bosh. We do not believe that
the Germans who voted for Mckinley
four years ago on sound money princi-
pies will desert him this year. Carl
Schuyz Is 4 notable exception. but Of
late years Mr.. Schurz has become quite
cratic. While the New York Stats
ZeItung has come over to the Mckinley
camp, 1t does SO with some reservations
that are not at nil characteristic Of the
able editor of that paper. 1t should
have patterned after the Leavenworth
Tribune, the only German daily paper
in the state OF Kansas, which heretofore
was an ardent supporter of the Demo-
cratic party, and which has now turned
against Bryan, burning Its bridges"

Bryan and supporting Mckinley, still

some degree of alarm.

There are some political evils which
are seen as soon as they are dangerous
and which alarm at once as well the
people as the government. Wars and
invaslons, therefore, are not always the

approach, and the general security is
preserved by the general alarm. Not SO

The time within which ratilica-

may be exchanged has been extend
ed seven months from Aug. 5, next.

certainty that the Senate would not
act upon the treaty at this session.
As leader who does not lead, Sena.
tor Jones, of Arkansas, Is a shining
success. Less than a week after lie
had publicly declared that the Denl-
ocrats would keep Congress in ses-
sion all summer, before they would
allow the propositions favorably en-
dorsed by the Military Committee
to make the senior Maj. General,
commanding the army hold the rank
and draw the pay of Lieut.. General
to give the Adjutant General of the
Army the rank of Major General, TO
increase the artillery branch of the
regular and 20 add 100 cadets TO the
number now appointed to West
Poiut,-to go through the Senate.
the bill was passed. Probably be-
cause he saw that his bluff had
failed, Senator Jones ahsented him
self when he knew the Army roor-
ganization bill, which contained all
of the above propositions, and more
looking toward the hetterment of
our army, was to come up, and the
bill was passed without 3 division
The Democrats mustered eight votes
against the lieutenant generalcy
clause of the bill and thirteen against
the West Point increase, which con-
vinced them of the uselessness OF
further opposition.
