PODulist Understand 1t.

A recent issue Of the New York Jour-
nal, the leading Democratic paper in
New York, takes up over a half a page
to explain to the Eastern people, that
although the Democrats have free sill
yer plank In their platform, there Is no
danger of their passing free silver law
If they elect their men. OF course
there isn't. Populists have understood
all along that the Democrats did not
mean 1t, and that is the reason thes in
tend to vote for their own candidates,
Barker and Donnelly, instead Of Mr..
Bryan.
No need to take up a half page to
explain that the free silver plank in
the Democratic platform is only intend
ed to catch Populists. The resolutions
which the convention passed nullifying
the silver plank makes that perfectly
plain. There is no real Populism in
either of the old monopoly parties.-

LONDON IN NEED OF GOLD
ALL ATTEMPTS TO ATTRACT THE
METAL HAVE FAILED-PROM.
ISE OF HARD TIMES. 4
PRICE OF COAL RISES RAPIDLY AMI
THE POOR WILL HAVE A
HARD WINTER. I

Especial cable to the New York Tri.
bune and Chicago Times Herald; copy<
| rightedl by the New York Tribune.) = !
LONDON. Aug. 4.-Financial condi-
tions here, If not disturbing, are any~
thing but reassuring. The bank re-
serves are regarded by f1nanciers as ut~.
terly inadequate, and all attempts td
attract gold have failed. The bank rata.
will naturally be raised, but that Is an
awkward thing to do when the governA
ment will speedily be in the market
with proposals for new loan.
What the street Is most anxious to
hear is the news that shipments of gold
are coming from America. Some opera
tors are in such distress over the con~
tinuance of the tight money market that
they would be disposed to welcome the
election of Bryan and the triumph Of
the free silver cause, II the transfer OF
large supplies of gold from America to
the Bank of England could be facilitated
thereby. ~
Apart from the ,stringency OF the
money market there are many signs
that a hard winter is in store for the
people of moderate means in England.
and especially for the poor. The price
of coal is rising by leaps and bounds
and nobody Is able to forecast when or
where the figures will stop. Gas billa
have already risen 25 per cent and the
prices of provisions of all kinds are go
ing up, owing to the shortage in the
food supply. Increased ocean freights
and the added cost of nearly all manu-
factures, caused by the high price or
coal, are menacing poor men with the
prospect of dismal winter.
There has been a good deal of agita-
ton and discussion respecting some
checks upon the export of coal, especial I,
ly the best qualities, for naval use, but
nothing is likely to come from the ram
dom talk in and out Of parliament, |
Englishmen cannot limit the export OF
coal without repudiating their free trade
policy, and they are not prepared to do
that .s.

NINE KINDS OF MONEY.
It Varies All the Way From Full Lee
gal Tender to That Which II Not
Iomal Tender af AL

| 1t Varies All the Way From Full LIE.
| gal Tender to That Which II Not
Legal Tender at All. !.
The manner in which the Republi-
cans have dealt with the question Of
furnishing medium of exchange would
be disgrace to a common old clod-
hopper. Exchanges cannot be carried
| on, except to a very limited degree
without money, and 1t Is the duty OF the
government to issue money. Common
sense would lead anyone to the conclu-
sion that we need only one kind OF
money. There is no sort Of sense IN
anything else. The Republican party,
instead If giving us one kind, has made
nine kinds, using four or five kinds OF
material upon which to imprint It.
We have the following sorts OF
money:
1. Gold coin. This is issued by the
government. Anybody can take gold to
the mints in any quantity and the gov
ernment will coin it for him free. Gold
coin may be used for paying debts to
any amount, and for all taxes and other
dues to the government.
2. Standard silver dollars. These
are issued by the government. but only
in limited quantities. They are good
for paying debts and dues to the gov
ernment in any amount.
3. Fractional silver coin. This Is is
sued by the government in limited
quantities, and may be used in paying
debts in sums not exceeding $40.
4. Fractional nickle and copper
coins. These are issued by the govern
ment in limited quantities. and are
good for debts to the amount OF 25
cents.
S. Old legal tender notes, or green
backs" These are issued by the gov
ernment to the fixed limit Of $S46,6S1.-
GIG. They are good for all debts, and
under the new currency law the govern
ment is compelled to give gold coin for
them on demand.
6. Treasury notes of 1890, or "Sher-
man notes." These were issued by the
government in payment for silver
bought for coinage. They may be used
for paying debts to any amount, and the
holders may demand either gold or sill
yer for them from the government.
When they are redeemed In silver they
are destroyed and silver certificates is
sued in their place.
Z. Gold certificates. These are is
sued by the government as receipts for
gold deposited in the treasury by priv
ate individuals. They must be redeem
ed in gold on demand, and the govern
ment must always keep on hand the full
amount of gold they call for.
s. Silver certificates. These are re-
ceipts for silver dollars, and correspond
exactly to gold certificates.
9. National bank notes. These are
issued by the national banks, and are
promises of those banks to pay lawful
money to holders on demand. To Sc
cure such payment the government re-
quires the banks to have certain re-
serves and to deposit United States
bonds in the treasury to the face value
of the notes. National bank notes are
not legal tender for the payment of or
binary debts.

Why Gold Goes Out.

Considerable gold has been shipped
to England this week. The export was
made in connection with the new Brit
ish war loan and further sums are ex-
pected to follow. The news came as q
decided surprise to the commercial
world, which had just been reading
about the phenomenal excess OF mer-
chandise exports from the United States
and had therefore been expecting gold
coming to this country In settlement.
Fully $35,0O0OOO Of the total $50, 900 900
for the British war loan has been sub
scribed in this country, two-thirds Of
that amount being underwritten in this
city by ]. Pierpont Morgan & Co. and
Barring, Magoon & Co., and their asso-
ciated firms in Boston and Philadelphia.
SO that II necessary it looks as though
the entire loan could be floated here.
The allotment to America will certainly
be liberal, as England needs gold and
the shipment of the yellow metal just
made Is on the five per cent deposit re-
quired on the loan subscriptions. Gold
shipments were of course foreshadowed
the moment 1t was known that Great
Britain was about to issue a new loan
and would rely on this country to take
a portion of it. Foreign bankers, how
ever, did not look for shipments Of gold
as early as this, and the fact OF the ship
ment leads to the belief that the ar
rangement made with the Bank of Eng
land by the syndicate In this city not
only carries with 1t heavy allotment
Of the bonds, but calls for gold ship
ments entirely in payment. But the
general public is finding 1t hard to be-
lieve that there should not be balance
in our favor from European trade, not
withstanding the demands now made on
up by the British war requirements.
It is forgotten that out of the trade
balance due us must be deducted tho
freightage. most of the merchandise go
ing in foreign vessels, the cost Of insur-
ance. the earnings OF the insurance
companies and other corporations doing
business in this country. interest ana

and settle abroad and funds sent homo

tions this country has been borrowing
money to develop its mines and its
railroads and it's various industries thua

things, and here is one Of them:
LET BRITAIN FEED HER STARVING
VICTIMS.
Ihave received circula: letter from
a committee Of one hundred, asking me
to lend the influence Of this great paper
toward raising a fund for famine
stricken India. refuse to comply with
the request I have no sympathy with
the work 1t has in hand. India Is q
British possession. English merchants,
English agents and English officials
have robbed and plundered that people
to the queens taste. They have sucked
their commercial blood like vampires,
and scattered their sustenance to the
winds. The number of Englishmen
who piled up millions Of ducats in India
and returned home to spend it would fill
a good sized volume; and now, that
India is in distress who should feed the
starving Inhabitants II not her despoil-
ers? Another thing: The British gov
ernment is spending hundreds of mil
lions of plunks to wipe out brace of
struggling republics in South Africa.
Why, in the name Of God and decency
her millions Of starving vassals in In
dia? Why should we feed her starving
subjects In the far East, while she is
running her brutal butcher shop in the
sunny South? Oh, the shame Of it! Oh,
the disgrace of 1t! Oh, the damnable
curse OF it! Nor is that all. We have
troubles OF our own. We, too. are
busily engaged in the butcher business
We have $4,000 soldiers in the Philip
pines shooting the life out OF people
starving subjects Of England in India.
You and I are contributing of our sus-
tenance to carry on this unholy
slaughter. Not only that, but we glory
in the fart Of our doing 1t. We rejoice
with ghoulish glee when we read that
our arms have reaped an unusually rich
harvest Of death. We snuff out the
lives of our former allies with as little
compunction as 1 would smash the head
Of viper. and then we weep rivers OF
salt over the horrors Of poor old India.

as much hope of heaven as those who
have accepted Christ as their Savior,

thing that human skill and learning
can do, has been done to classify sub
