Although the free aud unlimited coinage of silver
in the above countries has been more or less re-
stretcd since 1873, when the United States joined
with Germany in carrying out the essentially British
policy of silver decentralization, yet all of those
countries still maintain a large volume of silver
money circulating parity with gold at the
named ratios, and coinage to the extent that it is
continued. is that basis. France alone main
tans 500 900 OF silver dollars at l5 TO in cir
culation. An inspection of the above table will
show that the United States ratio of 6 TO is higher
than any of the other commercial nations of the
world. II is exceeded only by Japan and Mexico
neither of which are regarded commercial nations
ofany standing. Ii follows, therefore, that l6 to
is a conservative and not radical proposition.
The same report of the Director of the Mint con-
tains table showing the annual commercial ratio
between silver and gold in the London markets
during the centuries preceding demonstration in
1873, and during the years intervening between
1873 and 1890 the date of the report An inspection
of this table reveals full proof of the fraud of the
sophistry based ON a comparison of the present
commercial ratio with 16 to l. At the risk of tres
passing too much Oh your valuable space / will
quote here the ratio in each decade for the three
centuries preceding decentralization, and each year
succeeding temouetfza ton up to the date of the

chicago Chronicle for Bryan.

In 1896 the Chicago Chronicle, gold
Democratic newspaper, refused to support
Mr.. Bryan. This year it will advocate his
election. In an editorial on Mr.. Bryan
nomination the Chronicle says:
1.-THE campaign to be one of the most mo-
mentous in the history of the Republic. It's
able 10 enter upon the contest with harmony
and enthusiasm and with leader whose abil-
ity. courage and candor are admitted by all
.sThere is not much doubt that Democrats
constitute majority of the electorate today
To harmonize, TO inspire aud to urge that ma
jority to the polls and make it effective in the
election OF Mr.. Bryan is now the duty of all
Democrats who have contributed to his splen
did endorsement by the Kansas City Conven
ton.
'.With this end in view, with liberation for
honest differences Of opinion on non essentials
with kindly oblivion for past quarrels and with
steadfast loyalty to the leader thus chosen,
the reunited Democracy should 60 forth to q
certain and merited triumph"

But take two or three days at different times
during the Summer, get more rest and fee
better.
A few days on the salt water viii invigorate
the system and revive the appetite.
The Weems Line of Steamers leave Pier 8,
Light street, Baltimore, for the Patuxent river
as far as Benedict, every Wednesday and Sat
urday at $50 A. NJ, and from Pier 2, Light
Street, every Sunday and Wednesday ut z.
NJ. This makes a delightful "trip of abont &C
miles on the Chesapeake bay and about sc
miles up the Patuxent, one of the broadesi
and most beautiful streams in Maryland. A
glimpse of Southern Maryland can be obtain
ed at the landings as the steamer proceeds up
and down the river.
Steamers leave for the Potomac river and
Washington. D. c., from Pier 9, at p. NJ,
every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. This
makes fourday trip on the salt water, and
an opportunity of seeing parts of Virginia as
well as the Potomac side of three Maryland
counties, Mt. Vernon and the Capital of the
country.
From Pier 2, for the Rappahannock river
to Fredericksburg, Va, one of the prettiest
little cities of the Old Dominion, and one of
historic interest. No more delightful trip can
be imagined.
All boats have comfortable state rooms, and
the meals are Just such TO satisfy an appetite
resulting from breathing the salt air.
At or near all landings there are boarding
houses on all routes, where those who desire
to remain a week or two to enjoy boating,
fishing and grabbing can obtain board at very
moderate rates.

Trade and the Flag.

Expansionists say that sTrade follows the
Flag" The United States have been in pos
session of Manila for nearly two years. Dnr-
ing 1899 the value of imports at that port was
ST., 45O, 4l2, and only 81, S50,se were from
the United States The imports from China
were over Eve times greater than from the
United States, and even the Spanish sent
twice as many goods TO Manila as we did.
This is the story of Trade following the Flag
that is told by ssThe Division of Customs and
Insular Affairs, War Department" And
another item in the report shows that all i'm
ports were carried in foreign vessels, and in
some lines of goods United States exporters
were not represented at all and in most others
were very low in percentage. The chief ex-
ports to the Philippines from the United
States are soldiers, and collins in which TO
bury them, and arms aud ammunition, TO-
getber with bad beer and whisky. Trade
follows the Price List, not the Flag.

Here the table of 1890. from which quotation is
made, necessarily stops, but your well Informed
readers aware that the divergence between the
two metals have since continued at the same pace
as above quoted.
Now these figures speak for themselves. They
cannot and will not lie. They prove that If silver
remonetizei today at the old legal ratio the
commercial ratio of the two metals would neces-
sarily go back to the same figures that prevailed
prior to decentralization. They prove the assertion
have made that l6 to 1 is really conservative
proposition. They prove and make manifest the
great fact that IL is not 16 10 that the money kings
and financial magnates fear, but reconciliation
and bimetallism.
While therefore, neither Free Silver nor ''l6 to
T. win be really issue In this campaign, because
overshadowed by greater issue of present impor-
lance. still 1t is important that every voter should
be equipped with the information which these fig
and facts convey in order not to be falsely put

Then and Now.

The Hanna Nc Kinley administration has
opposed declaration of war against China
by the allied powers. for the very obvious
reason that under the Constitution Congress
alone has such power, go far as the United
States is concerned, and the Hanna Nc Kinley
Administration do not want to be bound by
that instrument or hampered with Congress
sional acts. The Administration is carrying
on a war against China, in reality, of its own
motion, and for its own purposes. 1t is true
a revolution is on in China, and opposition TO
foreigners is one of the causes of it, Our
Minister at Pekin is in peril, along with other
foreign representatives, if, indeed, he has not
been killed. Still the Chinese government is
not responsible for this, as efforts have been
made to protect the foreign legations. and the
viceroys ofihe provinces have been called upon
to suppress violence and restore order Hun
dreds of Chinese have been massacred in the
United States. Violence was suppressed and
order was restored, but the dead Chinese
were not restored to life nor was indemnify
paid. However, it is not our purpose to deal
with details or causes of the China situation,
but to call attention to the difference of pro-
cedure by the government, as conducted by
the Hanna cKinley Administration, and by
former Administrations. In 1857 Great
Britain asked the United States to join her in
an invasion of China. Lewis Cass was Secre-
tary of State, and he wrote to Lord Napier,
ON April 10, as follows:
This proposition from Great Britain looking to
PARTICIPATION by the United States in the existing
hostilities against China makes it proper to remind
your Lordship that under the Constitution of the
United States the executive branch Of this Govern
ment is not the war-making power. The exercise
OF that great attribute OF sovereignty Is vested In
Congress- and the President has no authority to
order aggressive hostilities to be undertaken. Our
naval officers have the right-it is their duty. in
deed-to employ the forces under their command
not only self defence but for the protection of
the persons aud property of our citizens when ex-
posed acts of awless outrage and this they have
DONE both in China and elsewhere, and will do
again when necessary But military expeditions
into Chinese territory cannot be undertaken with
out the authority of the national legislature"

Teddy Roosevelt was out in Minnesota on
Tuesday and made speech at St. Paul. His
appearance attracted large audience, Just as
any other curiosity would. And Teddy made
a speech, which consisted of assertion. No
argument, no reason and very little sense
came from out his grinning visage. Ii is
hoped the ''sole soldier at San Juan will
come to Maryland during the campaign He
carried Western Maryland for the Democracy
last year, and he would be more valuable now
than then, for his ambition has widened and
his head has swelled to larger proportions.

Realizing the dangerous magnitude which the
issue OF Imperialism bids fair to assume in the COM
ing great campaign. the Republicans are already
manifestng strong desire TO get away from it and
substitute bugbear like 10 to l. 1t is desirable,
therefore, by way of clearing away the rubbish pre-
imnary TO the great battle that is coming, that
every intelligent voter should have before him the
facts and figures which disclose exactly what &c 10
!, in its native simplicity, really is With that end
in view the facts and fig which follow deserve
to be and kept by every reader of your jour
nal.
In the scuttie fish campaign of ls96. which con-
sisted merely in muddying the waters as to blind
the observer the Republicans and their allies con-
tented themselves with merely comparing the then
existing commercial ratio between monetized gold
and lemonetized silver with I6 to L, to prove the
latter to be u most extreme and revolutionary
proposition.
In point OF fact the men who cry most loudly
against 10 TO know that it is really conservative
proposition. They know, with all economists who
have studied the question: that whenever silver is
fully remoneiized it W i'll be upon the lower m ito OF
Isl. TO OF gold.
Why is this so7 Because this is the highest ratio
of coinage that has existed in any of the great
commercial nations of the world. and is the same
upon which the great volume of the silver money
of the world Is ROW maintained and circulated.
Because change of this great universal ratio would
involve the recoinsge of all the silver money Of The
worlJ and because the same quantitative relation
between the two money metals throughout the
world exist today during the many centuries
down to 1873 when il was coined upon that ratio.
The report OF the director OF the U. s. Mint, OF
$780, tanned number Of statistical tables bear
money metals in the principal countries of the
world maintaining a b-metallic currency, from
which the following figures are taken:
