THE MONEY QUESTION.
A Clear Issue for the Voters "a Dec ide
Upon During the Coming
Campaign.

While some Of the editors are won
dering il the money question will ilg-
ure in the next campaign, Hon. j. q.
johnson, chairman Of the executive
committee of the democratic national
committee, calls attention TO the fact
that the proposed currency bills of
tie republican party in congress have
already fixed the issue. BY proposing
10 fix the single gold standard upon
the country, the republicans Lave
shifted the issue from that which was
before the country in 1896, 10 con-
test over the gold standard pure and
simple. In the last campaign the dis
cussion was between those who fav-
ored the free coinage Of silver al the
ole ratio and those who were opposed
TO the proposition.
AT that time the republicans re-
fused to make the gold standard the
issue. They fought shy OF it and evad-
ed il. They admitted in their plat
form fiat bimetallism was better for
the people than the single gold stand
ard provided il could be reached as
the result of international agreement.
And now Mr.. Mckinley was so keen
for the introduction of international
bimetallism that he took it upon him
self. even before he took the oath of
cfice. 10 arrange for a commission
whose duty il would be to visit Eu-
rope in order that the evils OF the sim
Gle gold standard might be mitigated
as promptly as possible.
1t is hardly necessary TO say that
many voters who were utterly opposed
To the single COLA standard were won
over TO the republicans by the con-
ser,ative stand which they conceived
that party had taken on the money
question. The impression left upon
the more thoughtful voters by the re-
publican leaders was that these lead
ers were equally opposed To the gold
standard and to the independent free
coinage of silver; they were supposed
to occupy the safe and conservative
ground midway between; they feared
independent free coinage, and so they
turned TO international bimetallism-
But now. since they have thrown
off all disguise they have changed the
issue. The confess will now be. not
only for and agains. silver. but for
and against the gold standard. The
main question will be whether the
GOLD standard shall be permanently
fastened on the country, with all the
evils admitted by the republicans in
their efforts 10 secure internations al

For the first time since the question
Of the standards has been agitated

and tore IL open, carelessly enough,
unfolding a villainous comic valcn-
tine. printed in shrieking colors.
1t was the picture OF a misshapen
wretch with a coai:Al head and largr
lower jaw when was fastened on m
hinge fashion. There were certain
Ines and explosive marks TO Indicate
that This jaw was in rapid motion
Lelow the picture was the following
doggerel;
TO A NOISY IDIOT.
'You talk and gable all the day.
But there's no sense In what you say.
On every subject you must gpout.
You are chump beyond a doubt"
FOR moment or two Walker was
shocked and benumbed by the awful
impact OF such an insult. lie felt the
surge of hot blood to his head, and in
the dizziness OF his wrath all the articles
on the breakfast table went swinging
in semi-circles. lie crumpled the en-
velope and its contents into his pocket
and sat fuming while Mrs. Walker
poured the coffee.
"Who sent it?" "Who sent it?"
"Who sent ito" he asked himself over
and over again. He tried 10 fix in his
memory list of all who might be his
secret enemies and to select from this
list the most dcspicable. sindictise and
unprincipled scoundrel Of all. This rep
tile he would meet. He would, meet
lin and then-and then he would slap
him in the face and compel him TO get
down on his knees and apologize, and
then he (Waiker) would spurn him
(the wretch) with his foot and call him
all the vile names which may be used
in propriety by high-minded gentle
man whose feelings have been out
ragged.
Oh. the visions of revenge which are
conjured up by fine, feverish rage.
Walker snapped at his breakfast as
IL he were Gagged animal. and there is
no denying that he had murder in his
heart. Once Mrs. Walker saw him
staring omptily at the popovers and
asked what was the matter. He did
not reply. for he was absorbed in con-
temptation OF picture in which he was
throitling the villain who sent the
comic valentine.
After breakfast and when he was
safely away from the house he took the
envelope from his pocket and studied
:he handwriting. He did not recognize
il. 1t was evident that the sender had
disguised his penmanship. or else had
the address written by some one en-
tirely unknown TO Walker.

read the verse of doggerel, and il is
needless to say that he discovered
