CANTON. Ohio, July 14.-President Nc
Kinley spent a quiet and restful. but not
an idle day There were no delegations
tramping over his lawn and no great poll
teal leaders seeking conference. Nor were
there Cabinet officers to talk over matters
of state. Most of the callers were either
relatives or old friends of the family.
Cuban and Porto Rican affairs will doubt
less receive attention here during the next
week. Governor Allen, of Porto Rico. Is
expected in the city tomorrow morning.

have the authority of the Republican lead
ers and the Republican party that the Sen

these assurances before me, not to mention
others, am astounded at the frantic eff

publican press, and last, but not least, by
the Republican President in his speech of

pie with an issue that is not now a live
one in hopes of obscuring the greatest Of
all Issues put before the people since 1865
In the impending crisis sixteen to one can
have no "terrors'' for any body of intelli-
gent voters. In point of fact. sixteen TO
one ceased to be an issue the very moment
& Republican Congress enacted single
gold standard bill on the recommendation
of President Mckinley The monetary is
sue then broadened into one of bimetal-
lism. leaving the Democratic party the
party of bimetallism and the Repub-
iican party the party of monometal-
lism. But for reasons that are too
plain TO need exploitation, 1t can be
truthfuly claimed that the monetary
question cannot be made an issue this
year. OF course, the Republicans would
be delighted if they could make, not BIZ
metallism, but sixteen to one, the para
mount issue of the campaign, for upon that
alone could they hope TO hold the Ger
man American vote which gave to Mr. Nc
kinley in 1886 the great States of the
Hanna sources. do we hear any cutlery
against sixteen TO one. 1t is subordinated
even in the Democratic platform Indeed,
we make bold to assert that the proceed
ings of and the spirit displayed by the
Kansas City Convention prove beyond per-
adventure that if the Democrats should
suddenly come into supreme control of the
Government in all of its departments they
would be unable TO pass sixteen to one
free coinage bill. Thoughtful men of all
parties understand this situation thor |
ougi.ly. and sensible people everywhere are !
aware that the Republican managers will |
be unable to make sixteen TO one an issue I
of the present campaign. Events and not !
political managers make the issues The |
people and not fht politicians recognize |
and decide them.

For a long time, several months in

still on the question of reciprocity with
Germany. Under the conditions faced
there by the German government 1t was
regarded as useless to attempt to arrange
a reciprocal basis that would not include

To take any official steps In advance
would be regarded as a menace.
Nothing in the way of menace will be
attempted. But there is reason to as
sert that if it is found to be the settled
purpose Of the German government to
sanction exclusions of American meats
or other products from Germany, it may
be expected that the government of the

such power as it may possess to impress
