Active Measures For War in South

correspondent OF the Daily Tele-

eli Hung Chang now states that
some members OF the legations have
already left Picking and may be ex-

THE DOMINANT ISSUE.
The Irrepressible Conflict of the
World Is Aggregated Wealth
Against the Commonwealth.

1t is not an easy matter to determine
n the light of practical politics which
of the three great questions before the
II nation should be the dominant issue in
the present campaign. From my stand
point the money question is paramount
since the irrepressible conflict of
the world is aggregated wealth against
the commonwealth-money against
property and the products of labor.
Every move made by this and all
other nations that have sought to es-
tablish monometallism (alias the gold
standard), in place of bimetallism has
had, and still has, as the ultimate pur-
pose the impoverishment, subjugation
degradation. oppression and practical
slavery of the industrial classes, and
the aggrandizement of all the owners
of money obligations by making mon
ey great and all other things small in
exchange for money as expressed by
Amos in chapter s, verses 4, s: MAX
ing the ephah small and the shekel
great and falsifying the balances by de-
ceit," etc, l am heartily in accord with
Mr.. Bryan in his refusal to abandon
one iota of his demand for the restora-
ton of bimetallism at the old Jewish

the newly adopted gold standard which
is indefensible from any point of view.
Either economically, commercially, re-
ligiously, of right or of reason. 1t can
benefit no class except creditors, and
those only at the expense of all other
classes, and it is questionable whether
any real benefit can accrue even to the
creditor class in this country. 1t hes
undoubtedly doubled the debt in the
United States and the value of our
bonds held abroad. since. as Mr.. Glad
stone once said of England; I'VE do
not get our pay in gold, We get it in
goods" and as the change in the stand
ard has reduced the price of goods so
cents on the dollar we pay 81 worth of
goods for every 50 cents of interest or
principal owing to Great Britain on
bonds, some of which were originally
purchased with greenbacks which
were bought by British financiers at 35
cents on the dollar through their ac-
completes in the fraud, in Wall street,
New York, who discredited them in ad
vance in pursuance of the well-defined
purpose of the money trust to appre-
ciate the money unit and depreciate
every other unit.
1t is surprising that our legislators
can be either so ignorant or so corrupt
as to sacrifice the people on the altar
of their golden calf and cruelty the
producers of the country on the cross
of gold. We challenge them to show
how, when, or where either the nation
or the individual ever has or ever can
be benefited by the gold standard. Even
the money changers have to suffer by
the fall in the rate of interest, which
has gone down from per cent. to about
2lk, and borrowers could better afford
to pay 10 per cent. for the use of money
than they can now pay 3 per cent. Added
to this the enormous advance in taxes,
which in Detroit amounts to 2 per cent.
on the assessed valuation, which is
higher in very many instances than the
property can be sold for at forced sale
even in these prosperity (?) times. These
conditions are the exact counterpart of
those produced in England between
1919 and 1885 by her adoption of the
gold standard, as is shown by the re-
port of the royal British commission
(appointed in 1899, presented to par

existing ratio of 16 to l without the
consent of any other nation" They
lay stress on the "16 TO I" which is the
mint and cumin" and entirely ig-
more the "weightier matter" which
IS the free coinage of both metals.
The ratio" is not an issue and never
has been one. 1t is an existing fact.
All the silver dollars that are now in
circulation or in the treasury vaults
represented by silver certificates also
in circulation, amounting in all TO
S464 100000, are coined at the ratio
of 16 TO l." This ratio is the ratio of
the United States, deliberately adopt
ed and solemnly mainta ned for gem
erations. No congress has attempted
to change it. When free coinage was
suspended, the ratio was retained.
The present congress, republican in
both branches, with n republican
president to approve its acts, did not
offer to disturb the ratio. 1t passed
a vicious currency bill with a gold

monkey" with the ratio; and to-day
the government is coming silver dol

which represents the ratio of ''16 to l."
What the democrats declare for is
more OF the same kind of dollars we
now have. both silver and gold, dol
lars exactly the same as those the re-
publican administration is now coin
ing at the mints. They want more
good money, sound money, honest
money, not more bank bills based on
interest bearing bonds, but more
money coined and issued by the gov
ernment.
The words "l6 to l" used by
the "spasm" organs of Mark Hanna
and imperialism as a "scarecrow" will
scare no one and fool no one. The
answer is that the ratio is not an is

adopted that ratio by providing for

that ratio, and is now trying TO turn

Misaissippi CapitOl-Doscriptivo.
The statehouse, which the State of
Mississippi is about to erect il its capi-
t.l Jackson, will be, architecturally
sneaking, the most important and the
most prominent public building in the
south. 1t will far surpass in beauty, If
not in size, all of the capitol buildings
of the Southern States, and, with very
few exceptions, those in the United
States.
We herewith present to our readers
an outline perspective of the new build
inc as designated by Mr.. Theodore c.
Link. the architect, of st. Louis, which
will give some idea of its general ap-
pearance and proportions.
II will be erected on the site formerly
occupied by the State penitentiary, a
rectapgle about $50 feet square, on an
eminence overlooking the town and
country for a considerable distance,
and will be in full view of the trains
over the Illinois Central and the Queen
& Crescent tracks. The main facade
is to be to the south, the main entrance
centering with Congress street. Two
squares south on this street the gov
ernor's mansion is now located. The
length of the building will be 402 feet
from east to west, and the central dome
will rise 175 feet above the grade line
established at the main entrance.
The style adopted is pure renais-
sance classic of dignity and elegance
OF proportion which will fittingly ex-
press the power, honor aud stability Of
our State. 1t is designed on the order
of pavilions connected by wings with a
view to giving architectural prominence
and expression to its fundamental pur-
pose of accommodating the legislative.
executive and judicial branches of the
government in very simple. straight
forward and direct manner. 1t is
planned with due regard to climatic
conditions, every part of it being well
lighted and aired from the exterior.
The pavilions are provided with por-
ticos and arcades to give grateful shades

This work contemplates considerable
grading, planting, driveways, monu-
mental terraces, parapets, and, pos
sibly, an artificial lake.
The competition for this, the most
important work in the South, was very
spirited and fifteen plans we're SUBJ
mitted by architects from all parts of
the United States. The capitol COM
mission was ably assisted by Mr.. Ber-
nard Green, Of Washington, d. c., the
the supervising architect of the con-
gressional library, who pronounced the
drawing of Mr.. Link distinctly superior
to all others submitted.
Mr.. Link, as an architect, has a ma
tional reputation. He is a member of
the American Institute of Architects,
Of the New York Architectural League,
president of the Missouri State Asso-
ciation of Architects, and correspond
ing member of several European So
cieties. His best known works are the
Union Station, Carleton Office Building,

and the Monticello Seminary at God

public buildings, such as courthouse,

fcial influence upon contemporary
