SAFE GOLD STANDARD.
The Line Between Republicans and
Democrats Is Defnits-
Iy Drawn.

When the United Stat0A senate
passed the bill providing that the gold
dollar should be the standard unit of
value, the gold standard was made
legally safe. The house bill differs in
some respects from that of the senate,
but both are alike in the vital pro-
vision, which formally establishes the
gold standard. Conferences will soon
harmonic the bills in their minor fea-
lures, and then, with the approval of
President Mckinley, the United States,
by the explicit sanction of law, will
take an indisputable place among the
gold standard nations.
The action is the more notable and
gratifying because it came from body
which long hung like a weight on the
neck of sound money, and which by
gatherings and malieshifts blocked the
way to the simple and assuring declara-
tion made the other day, and kept
financial affairs i'll a condition of in
gertrude.
The vote drew the line between the
parties and showed where republicans
and democrats stand on the question
of purity of thecurrency. Everyrepuh-
lican but one voted for the bill. Every
democrat but two voted against the
bill, and those two are gold and Cieve-
land democrats who know that their
political future in the democratic par
ty is closed because with their devo-
tion to honest money they could not
be elected on the democratic ticket to
the pettiest office in their states.
The vote for A republicans and two
democrats against 2S democrats and
one republican determines the position
of the parties on the financial issue for
the national campaign soon to open.
The republican party is the party
which insists urOn the standard of
value recognized by the leading ma
tions of the world-a standard which
therefore is necessary to commercial
intercourse and to financial stability,
and never before so necessary as with
the worldwide expansion which this
nation is now enjoying. The democrat
ic party insists upon championship of
cheap metal and bearing against the
opposition of the world the hopeless
burden of dignifying that metal be-
yond its normal possibilities.
The republican party insists upon
the standard of value which regulates
the currency of the following coun-
tries: Great Britain, Germany, Russia,
Austria-Hungary, Norway and Sweden,
Denmark, Portugal, Turkey, Japan,
Finland. Egypt, British Honduras, Bra
zil, Chill. Peru, Costa Rica, France,
Italy, Holland, Switzerland, Belgium,
Spain, Greece, Venezuela and India.
The democratic party insists upon the
standard of value of Mexico, except in
commercial affairs; China, where silver
goes by weight value; Servia and
Roumania, and few states in Central
and South America.
The people chose in 1896 between
the financial platforms of these par
ties. The issue now is even more
definitely made, and the choice will be
repeated by as much larger majority
as four years of the experience of pros
perity Will suggest.-Troy Times.

A few days a Philadelphian discov

A few days Philadelphian discov-
cred $4,000 in bank notes wrapped in
tinfoil and stout paper which had
been concealed in an old mansion for
35 or 40 years. 1t was in a beam in
the house, which had been destroyed
and the wood sold for kindling. The
finder bought some of the rubbish,
and, when cutting the kindling, the
wealth came to sight. After counting
the entire lot and finding the amount
so large, he called in an intimate
friend, but this one blasted all his
hopes by stating that the entire lot
was not worth cent, the issues be-
ing of old state banks, now out of
existence. The finder said that
he supposed the money was deposited
in the hiding place during the early
days of the rebellion by brewer who
lived in the mansion at the time.
