WASHINGTON LETTER.
Trom our regular correspondents

The Presidents letter Of acceptance
now holds the center Of the political
stage. Opinions differ, of course, as
to Its merits, but it is admitted by his
opponents, as well as ibis supporters,
that the President has shown that he
possesses the courage of his ccnvic-
tons in discussing the important issues
Of the campaign. The letter on
tains no lodges. 1t assumes the re-
sponsibility for what has been done,
and argues that the work Of the adj
ministratIon, has been such as to de-
serve a continuance in. power of the
party f represents. The arguments
being. from the Republican point of
view are naturally not accepted by the
opponents d, that party. although no
one questions the adroitness with which
they are put. In these days, when
people form their opinion Of public
policies from the newspaper accounts Of
the carrying out Of these policies. It is
doubtful whether such documents as
candidates letters OF acceptance ever
change any votes. In fact. they are
not written with that expectation; they
are written as guides for the writer's
and speakers Of the candidate S. party,
furnishing the party keynotes for the
campaign. In this letter Mr.. Mckin-
ley has done for his party what Mr..
Bryan's speeches and letter Of accept
ance have been doing and will do for
his party workers, furnishes them the
information needed TO keep in touch
with their leaders.
So far as this government is con-
cerned. the situation in China has not
changed much during the past week.
The powers have been informed what
we intend to do. and we are waiting for
them to give US some information
about their intentions. and they do not
: appear to be in the slightest hurry to
do it. The latest hint Of this govern
ment was to order Gen. Chaffee to
hold himself in constant readiness to
leave Pekin. The President. accom-
panied by Mrs. Mckinley. has gone to
Somerset, Pa, to see their niece mar
ried. and from there they will 60 to

situation in China makes the Presi-

can agree upon a Chinese programme.

trouble before for the same reason.
The advertising matter for his alleged
Civil Service College, a SO worded
as to leave the impression that he had
a big pull with the Civil Service Com
mission, which always appointed those
recommended by him. Swindling a
person under the pretense of securing
them positions is pretty low down in
the scale OF crime. but it is growing
very common. The Postal authorities
can only act when proof Of the swindle
Is obtained. and the unwillingness Of
the victims to acknowledge that they
have allowed themselves to be robbed
makes that difficult and almost i'm
possible to obtain. The best prevent
alive Of this sort Of swindling is the
adoption of an ironclad rule to have no
money dealings with concerns which
cannot furnish indlsputable evidence,
bank or commercial agency reference
Of >responsibllity.
The general tendency to distrust the
Chinese has extended TO the Immi-
grafton Bureau of the Treasury De-
partment, which now employees Chi
csc as interpreters, but hopes to- get
some OF the returned white mission
aries from China to take their places
at an early dsy. An official of that
Bureau said: 1--WE are very anxious
to get white mensas Chinese interpret
ers. We want about seven-two for
San Francisco, one for Malone, one for
New York. n for Boston and two for
the Canadian boarder. We can keep
our fingers On a white mar and know
something of his habits and natural
leanings and may be pretty well salts
fled that he cannot be corrupted II he is
paid a fair salary. but we cannot always.
be sure of that with the Chinese. II
have no doubt that among the mission
aries who will be obliged to leave
China. we can get good men who will
be willing to serve US. The salary Of
the position is not fixed. but compe-
tent men get about SIS a day and ex-
penses. This would be a pretty good
thing for a superannuated missionary.
and we expect to get an efficient corps
within a short time"

ROBERTS STILL PROTESTING.
Say" There La Nothing In the Auti-Polyg.
amy Law That Would Interrupt Pre-
viOusly Contracted Marriages.

Washington, Jan. 6.-When the
Roberts committee resumed its ses-
sions Saturday Mr.. Roberts went on
with his argument. He reviewed the
action OF the constitutional conven-
ton of Utah, urging that this carried
out the requirements of congress for
the admission of Utah as state.
namely, that polygamous marriages
should no longer be contracted. In
particular, Mr.. Roberts contended.
there was no requirement by congress
or i'll the constitutional convention
that previously contracted matrimo-
nial associations should he interrupt-
ed.
In the course Of his argument Mr.
Roberts said he had observed that
the women involved III this question
of plural wives were quite generally
received in the circles of gentle
ladies i'll Utah. He vehemently de-
nounced what he characterized as
the sensational crusade made against
lim,' and the effort to arouse public
feeling by saying the American home
was in danger. If necessary" he said,
Il could call attention to thousand
evils which threaten the country
without going to the state of Utah.

to be loaned to the people at a high

Country That Germany Must Strug-

London, Jan. 6.-The Spectator pub
fishes an article entitled GERMANY
and the Monroe Doctrine in which it
says:
1t is with America and not England that
Germany realizes she must struggle for
supremacy. We do not say for a mo-
ment that Germany regards America as
an enemy, but Germany realizes it is
America that at this moment lies across
Germany's path and that unless she is
able to reckon with America on equal
terms, she Will not become the world
power of the future that she desires to
be. GermanyS objective is South Amer
lea. but there the Monroe doctrine bars
her way. How to get around this is puz-
zling, but Emperor William counts upon
the German vote in the United States
to help him when his new navy is ready
to carry out his South America expansion
idea, especially in Brazil.

Committee of Eastern Democrats Pas,
Resolutions Demanding the Issue of
Inconvertible Paper Money.

Says the Kansas City Star: "Bry-
ANS most intimate associate among
New York democrats. F. V. Brewster
who is chairman of the democratic
executive committee of Kings county,
had resolution passed by his com
mittee declaring in favor of govern
ment issue of paper currency having
no qualities of redemption and for a
constitutional amendment to en-
power the government to put such
currency in use, to the exclusion of
all other kinds. Some persons think
this is an indication that Bryan is
forced to drop the silver issue he will
want to substitute the fiat money is
sue in place of it as the standard
principle of the democracy
1t will indeed be happy day when
honest versus dishonest money shall
be the issue before the American peo-
pie and the principles of scientific
monetary system shall be fully and
fairly discussed
In this connection. the following
article, written by Laurie j. Quinby
for the Coming Nation, makes good
reauing:
In the very able article of J. l..

could possibly be honest money Not
the mere fact of having only paper
money would assure us honest money
There is but one standard by which
we may gauge honest money. That
standard is that an honest dollar
must be the representative or token
of the same amount of the products
of labor year in and year out, decade
after decade. Even though all our
money were paper, its volume could
be SO limited or so inflated as to be
dishonest money.
There cannot be any metallic
money, possessing even the element
of sanity, unless that metal is coined
upon the free and unlimited theory.
and if it is SO coined. it is doubly dis
honest. Dishonest, first, because its

Asleep on Picket Duty, Expires After
Reaching San Francisco.


Ashtabula, o., Jan. 6.-News has just
reached his home at Williamsfield of
the death of Wade S. Rose, an esti-
mable young man who enlisted early
in the late war. 1t is believed that
he died of a broken heart. 1t seems
that while ill at Manila he was as
signed to picket duty, and it is alleged
that he was found asleep on duty.
He was court-martialed, found guilty
and sentenced to imprisonment, with
dishonorable discharge without pay.
His friends here investigated the case,
laid the facts before President McKin-
ley, who pardoned Rose. He arrived
in California some time ago, broken
down in health. He stopped there
to earn enough to continue his jour
ney home. He died at Oakland.

LABOR SAVING DEVICES.
Owned by the People Machinery Would BE
Blessing But 1t Il Curse Under
Private Ownerxhip

An exchange says: THE machin-
cry in the mills and factories of
Great Britain alone is equal to do
ing the work of 100000, 900 men, more
than all the adult population OF the
world. The single little state of
Massachusetts has machinery enough
to do the work of $4,000, 900 men Sta
tistics show that 100000 men, with
the aid of machinery, now do the
work which required 100000 men a
few years ago. And this power is
rapidly increasing"
The machinery of the United
Staets is doing the work of ,OO0, ,OOO, 900
men. To-day one man and two bows
can spin as much cotton as 1,1OO
spinners could have done 100 wears
ago. One weaver does the work of
54.
One man, with one nail machine.
does as much work as 1000 coul.i have
done 100 years ago
In shipping one man does the work
of 1000.
One boy does the work of so men
in the making of tin cans.
Farm machinery has displaced A.
100000 men for the past 90 years
Under capitalism machinery is a
competitor of labor. 1t increases the
army of the unemployed, it concen-
trates wealth into the hands of the
few, it fills the jails and poorhouses,
it makes tramps and suicides, and it
makes millionaires and paupers. Tn
der socialism machinery would be
the servant of labor. 1t would
Tighten toll, it would give long vaca-
tions to all, it would put an end to
drudgery, and it would in Il word be
blessing to all mankind.
The fact that trusts and great COM
binations are simply practicing the
principles of socialism for the benefit
of those who hold an interest in
them is ample proof that the principle
is practicable. BY it, products can
be made with less labor in every de-
partment. If it is good for the few
thousands who hold stock, why would
it not be good for the hundreds of
thousands or millions-all the peo-
pie? If you argue that all the peo-
pie have not the business sense or sa-
gacity necessary to operate the in
dustries, can the same not be said
of the most of the stock and stock
holders of the trusts? Many of them
are children, many women and many
men who never saw the industries
from which they draw benefits. If
men can direct them for the benefit
of the members, men can direct them
if in the hands of the whole people.
We find no difficulty in getting men
to direct the post Office and other
public affairs. and they will leave
private life with it's greater financial
rewards to do it. You see men quit
private salaries of $4,000 to take a
seat in the senate or house or cabinet
at $4,000 a year. Men will for the
honor of serving the public take posi-
tions Of directing any and all the in
dustries that the public will take
over. And that is the next step in
the development of the trust-the
greater trust of all the people-Ap-
peal to Reason.

Prisoners Have Been Released Aroused
Hope at Washington That This Brave
Om Yer, Who Advanced yond the Lines
Last Summer. Is Among the Number.

Washington. Jan. 6.-Official con-
firmation has come from both Gen.
Otis and Admiral Watson of the first
reports from Manila of the release of
the American prisoners who have been
held in the hands of the FiIipinos for
many months, and there is no longer
any doubt that Lieut.. Gilmore, of the
Yorktown, is among the number.
Gen. Otis dispatch reads as follews:'
Manila, Jan. 1.-THE prisoners now en-
route from Vigan arrived Saturday night
and list of them will be telegraphed
later. Lieut.. Gilmore is among the num-
ber.-Otis.
Admiral Watson's advice is as fol-
lows:
have recaptured all of the American
prisoners. including Gilmore now at
Vigan.-Watson.
The sweeping statements made in
the dispatches to the effect that all
OF the American prisoners have been
released has aroused n hope that in
the list will appear the names of some
of the officers and privates of the
army who are set down on the army
rolls as missing. Prominent among
the missing army officers was Maj.
Charles NJ. Rockefeller, of the Ninth
infantry. This officer advanced be-
yOnd the lines during the fierce fight
ing early last summer. He disap-
peared completely, and no trace of his
body was ever found.

panies of the Twent y-tifth regiment

stronghold Comanche, on Mount Ar
ayat. Three Americans were wound
ed, but the enemy's loss is not known.
Three members of the Ninth and two
of the Twelfth regiment whom the
insurgents held as prisoners were
shot and mutilated. Three of the
Americans are dead and the other two
are recovering. Capt. Conhauser set

WHAT DOES RUSSIA MEANq
Temporary Scare In London over the Mass
Ing of the Cars Troops on the From
tier of Afghanistan.

London, Jan. 6.-On the stock eX-
change Saturday prices were weak at
the closing, partly due to stories of
Russia massing troops on the frontier
of Afghanistan. A semi-official expla-
nation of these moves comes from
st. Petersburg to the effect that they
were merely to test the capacity of
central Asian railroads to transport
troops. The experiment, it is added,
is regarded as highly successful as it
proves that in case of necessity troops
from the Caucasus can reach Kushka
in eight days.
The above explanation is hardly re-
garded as entirely satisfactory, but
official circles discredit the idea that
Russia's present movements in any
way threaten Afghanistan or India.

New York, Jan. 6.-The preliminary
Abatement of mineral production in
the United States in 1899 shows that
the total production of metals in the
United States for the year was valued
at the place of production at $413,-

The gold production was valued at
$72, ,4S3,055, and the silver was 61,179,-
$50 ounces. The most important item
was coal, the total of which in 1899
was no less than pa, ,5S1 ,S75 tons, the
largest quantity ever mined in year,
and putting the United States for the
first time ahead of Great Britain as
a coal-producer.
