action resulted in the restoration

ra the Civil War It controlled at
p time the Presidency and both
)i Congress. The spirit in which
,paign was conducted Jed to the
ion that the party would at once
ioceed to execute Its commission to re-
' form the tariff, "but within a few weeks
after the second inauguration of Cleve
land the country was seriously shaken by
a commercial panic The Treasury of the
United States was immediately threatened
with the loss of all Its gold. So desperate
did the situation "become that tho Presi
dent called an extra" session of Congress
to met in August. 1893. and the two
houses passed in JCovember an act re
pealing the purchasing clause of the Sher
man law. Thus It happened that the first
important measure oT the restored De
mocracy was not a tariff bill, but a sil
ver "bill which was not a party measure,
hut n. elved Republican support equally
with t' at of tho Democrats.
The "Wilson Bill.
The ascendant Democracy was, however,
not unmindful of the party pledges anent
tariff reform. In December of the same
year the "Wilson tariff hill was intro
duced, to be carired on to its final pas
sage In February, 1894. Tills was by no
means a free-trade measure; it was
rather a compromise along the lines jaf. a.
general movement toward lower duties.
The reciprocity scheme, of the JIcKinley
act disappeared, and Just as the business
interests of the country were becoming
adjusted to the operation of the Republi
can law of 1890 they were rudely dis
turbed in many details by the Democratic
law of 1894. And yet the tariff leglsla
tlon of the Democrats was really no more
of a free-trade tendency than was "that
of tho Republicans in 1883)
The country was learning through sad
cxperi nee that frequent partisan threats
of revi lutlonary changes In the schedule
of im osts were disastrous to business,
while mere partisan debate upon the sub
ject roacted unfavorably upon the legiti
mate industries of the country. Exag

slight differences in the policies of the i

The Campaiffn Issue In 1890.
during the last two -years of Cleveland's
ond term the issue, for the campaign
1896 was made up. That issue was the
e m lnage of the silver dollar by the
States alone at the ratio of 16 to

Such an event does not take

Whl s the Civil War was In progress
aid foi many years thereafter the dollar
n common use was legal tender paper,
commanding less -value than the coin of
the same name. Millions of simple folk
unskilled in financial science entered into
contracts during this period, many of
which Involved obligations extending over
long terms of years. The idea of change
in the value of money Itself did not enter
into their thought. To them a dollar,
whether of goM or silver or paper, was
simply a dollav The prevailing rate of
interest was high, and when the time
finally came for the payment of the prin
cipal of these debts the dollar had so in
creased in value that the unlucky debtor
was compelled to- make a gratuity of
from 1 to 25 per jcent in. addition to the
value pledged In the contract.
So far as the paper dollar alone was
concerned, the difficulty was got over
out serious consequences. On its

xpedlent to meet an emergency.

rapidly as it had during the .Ave years
preceding resumption. Pebtors .were still
obliged in tho legal settlement of a debt
to pay not only normal interest, but also
a gratuity to the creditor.
Part, of the .curse of the Civil War lay
in the. fact that political dehate upon all
subjects was habitually cast In the mold
of Inordinate sensation and passion. The
objection on theart of the debtor class
to settling contracts In appreciated dol
lars was in the partisan language of tho
day branded as dishonest as the manifes
tation of a disposition to commit theft or
robber'. Among the debtors, on. the other
hand, there were those who were ready
to believe that the changes in the value
of the 'dollar were the result of delib
erate intent to execute continual and per
petual spoliation upon tho producing
classes. This style of political discussion
tended to Increase mutual distrust and
suspicion. "yVhen creditors accused their
debtors of a purpose to defraud because
they favored a policy for the continued
use of the silver dollar, the enlightened
debtor honestly believed that the chargo
was not sincerely made.
Such severity of arraignment, such re
flections upon the motive of opponenls
were to be expected .from' the lips of
political orators in the heat, of partisan
debate, and Injuries of that character did
not strike deep. But when eminent edit
ors of reputable religious newspapers,
professors In colleges and universities of
high standing, and other leaders of opin
ion, lent the influence of their names and
positions to support a form of political
discussion which, involved either con
scious hypocrisy or blank Idiocy, then.
Indeed, the sense of Injury became deep
and of serious protent, -
Failure of Plan for BImetalism.
Tho country hecame conscious of the
final failure of the international bimetallic
movement during the closing years of
Cleveland's Administration. It was a
movement which had received the support
of a large proportion of the leading econ
omists of Europe. No suver advocate in
America had used stronger language de
scriptive of the evil results of maintain
ing a continually appreciating dollar than
had some of the sober economists of
world-wide reputation. There was abun
dant and- high authority for "the belief
that a persistence-in the policy on the
part of the various nations for demone
tizing silver and adopting Instead a single
gold standard would create a currency
which would continually Increase in value.
To these reasons for anxiety must be
added a consideration of the fact that
during the same period in which sliver
had been rejected a phenomenal increase
had taken place in public and private in
debtedness, new forms of credit had ap
peared, so that not only a larger amount,
but a larger proportion of the wealth! 'of
the world was held under the various
forms of credit.
At a time when citizens had arrived at
a general appreciation of all these facts
the Democratic Convention was held in
Chicago and the Bryan campaign was in
augurated. It resulted In an effort tq se
cure the retentlqn of silver as standard
money. The new issue Involved the re
adjustment of party allegiance. A con
vention was hejd in Indianapolis, mainly
composed of Democrats who had re
mained faithful to Cleveland. They were
the very Democrats who had been most
hostile to the tariff policy associated with
the name of McKlnley. Yet now they
used every endeavor to secure his elec
tion to the Presidency, so great .was the
importance which they attached to the
defeat of Mr. Bryan. At the same time,
Mr. Bryan" was ardently supported by Re
publicans in the silver-mining states.

TOMBS OF CHINA,
Worship -of Ancestors Universal, out
Little Real Reverence.
Xondon Telegraph.
The banks and hills of the Tangtse
are sprinkled and clothed with the tombs
of generation upon generation. It has
been said that at first sight China looks
like 'one huge graveyard. Worship of an
cestors, observance for the fathers that
begat them, Is the great act of Chinese
religion the only -vital point in all the sys
tems of the Flowery Xtf.nd. Consequently,
to disturb the bones of the dead, except
for heavy compensation. Is an offense
against society of the gravest kind. Miles
of country, mostly hills, are given up to
the burial ' of "Celestial dead, and none
of this ground Is used for residence or
cultivation, wnen a graveyard Is re
quired In "whole or in part for the pur
poses of foreign trade, or for the exten
sion of a foreign settlement, a large sum
has to be paid to the ascendants or de
scendants of the corpse, as each grave is
leveled, in order that the bones may be
transferred to another resting place.
Professors of light and air make many
taels out of dead men's bones. Th,ey ,tell
thfe family that the Feng Shui of' the
family grave is of ill omen, and at much
cost a new plot of ground is procured,
and the lowest available le'dge walled up
with a semi-circle of brick, painted white
and blue and red. Only then do the pa
triarchs slumber In their graves. The
reinterment of the dead Is almost. aB fre
quent as tho interment, where, as at
Hankow, the "foreign devil" is demand
ing concessions of land. Any day you
may see a family party squatting round
a now-made grave, to contain all that Is
left of a lucky ancestor, whose very bones
bring dollars to his clan.
Of real reverence in all this there is
hardly any. A Chinaman burns his "joss
stick" and prolongs his mourning from
months into years, in order that his fath
er's spirit may not haunt him, and that
the ghosts of those who have gone before
may not hover about, without food and
raiment, and bringjmd luck to him and
his. It is all fear of "bad joss." Be
sides, the Chinaman does as he would-be
done by. and he expects his son, or the
son he has adopted, for the purpose (it
is the whole purpose of Chinese adop
tion), to care for his "manes," as he did
n his turn. So both banks of the Tang
tse owe to the Tal Pings- and their tur
bulent predecessors many thousands of
dead men's acres in real mortmain tenure".

He Repudiates Bryan..
Among the Missouri Democrats who re
pudiate Bryan and Bryanlsm Is James L.1
Blair, whose father. Majbr-General F. I
Blair, was the Democratic candidate for
vice-i-resiaent in lsus. xn a second state
ment Mr. Blair said:
"In 1S9C the unscrupulous leaders of the
Democratic party so "perverted Its princi
ples that from being the party of conserv
atism It was made to stand for ultra-radicalism,
If not revolution, and they chose
for its leader a cheap demagogue," an ad
vocate of political dishonor, social disor
der and economic folly. Though I have
always been an adherent of that party, I
voted against its candidate and rejoiced
In his defeat, because he stood for almost
every governmental heresy known to
man. Sfnce then his utterances have
shown but little except crass Ignorance
of statesmanship, arrogant disregard 'of
party associates, a willingness toypander
to class prejudice and a shifty cunning
In adapting himself to changing political
conditions und fomenting popular discon
tent Thus he now represents all the dan
gerous pronouncements of the Chicago
platform and all the other vagaries which
may suggest themselves to a mind of
singular versatility in the evolution of
political heresies. Tho Kansas City plat
form is bad enough, but the candidate
Tvho stands on It Is even worse. T can.

.political scheme too grotesque, for such a
man, standing upon such a rlatform. to
carrv out--Ho Isjjout as. well fitted to
be President of the United States as was
Jack Cade to be Premier of England.
Having these convictions, 1 can conceive
of"ndclrcumstancesunder which' I could
vote for-'him. I bell ove-that it -is the duty
of every citizen to vote, even where, as
in tho case of acltlzen of .Missouri, a
vote for a Republican President may
count for nothing. I, consider it to' be an
implied condition "oCcitlzenshlp, .since .a,

Antiquity of Agriculture.
The origin of agriculture Is lost In the
mlsts of antiquity. "We know that In
Neolithic" times in Europe eight kinds
of cereals, were cultivated, besides flax,
peas, popples, apples, pears, bullace
plums,' etc., at the same time various
animals were domesticated. Among, these
were horses, short-horned pxpn, horned
sheep, goats, two breeds of pigs and dogs.
Professor TV. Boyd Dawkins says that
evidence goes to show that these t animals
were not domesticated In Europe, hut'
probably in the central plateau 'of Asia
He also thinks that agriculture arose in
the south and east of Europe, and spread
gradually to the center, north and west.
A hunting population Is often very avers
to even the slight amount of work that
agriculture requires In a tropical country.
The same' holds 'good, as a rule, for 'pas-'
torjal communities.
In all "cases a powefful constraint Is
necessary to force these" peoples into un
congenial employment. Fate Is stronger

NO HOPE FOR THE SUICIDE.
Self-ainrder Said ' to- Be Under No
Conditions Justifiable. " r
PORTLAND, Sept. 30 (To the Editor.)
Two prominent Christian ministers' of
Portland have recently glVen forth
strange public utterances concerning the'
future of the dead, as judged by 'the
plainest declarations of 'the Bible, from
which they have learned all they know
touching the state' of man ; after ' death;
One of these ministers teaches "Christian
agnosticism," and thereupon bases his
hope of, future happiness to one who up
to the very hour of his death said, "I
cannot oeaeve." xno otner minister, hold
er in his assumption than the former, de
clares that even the suicide, has hope in
his death. I always speak the name of
the dead softly, therefore personal refei-
eucts is inuue in tnis communication . lor
the purpose only of getting the"Tcase be
fore the" reader
'Rev. A. A. Morrison, In 'hisjt u'neral ser
mon of the unfortunate 'Otto Gr'eenhood,
said: "It' is too generally 'believed that
divine sympathy Is denied to" those' who
take thelwllves by their own hads. Such
a doctrine is monstrousand preposterous,
and 'at entire variance with the teachings
of Christ If one person is more entitled
to divine sympathy than another, It ,1s
the person who has been refused human
'sympathy and encouragement in this"
world- and 'proved 'inadequate to the bat
tle'of life." It is sufficient answer to this
to say that Brother Morrison's Bible
'commands, "Thou shalt not kill." And
again: . "No murderer hath eternal life
abiding In him.", And surcly.no murderer
hath more completely forfeited all claim
to divine sympathy and dlvlrie life after
death than the self-murderer. This dis
cussion does not Involve, the case of, one
who In a state ' of absolute insanity 'Had
taken his own life, but of one, in. posses
sion of the faculty of reason, and direct
ing concerning his end as one who had
carefully considered the results of tho un
dertaking' In which he was about to en
gage. Mr. Morrison .assumes that Mr.
'Greenhood had Jbeen, "refused human
sympathy and encouragement in this
world," whereas I.understa'nd his. friends
were careful to provide for him a, way of
self-support, and The Oregonlan, .of this,
city, is authority for the statement that
at one time in his life the late J. 7.
jtfackay gave him ,a "tip by. which "he
made $200,000." Surely, then, Mf. GreoV
hood had both ."human sympathy and en
couragement," and,, to a degree seldom"'
experiehcedr In this world. But divine
pardon .and divine 'acceptance .areaiot
conditioned on man's poverty and lack of
human sympathy, but on one's own rer"
sonal relation to the one and only re
quirement of divine justice, love and par
don, "repentance toward God and faith
'toward our Lord Jesus Christ."
But what Is perhaps of more conse
quence still,' the doctrine of Mr. Morrison,
If believed, and acted upon'j would 'encour
age suicide,. forit certainly places-a' pre
mium upon self-murder. And coming
from a Christian minister It would foster
.the suicidal, spirit to a far greater 'and
more general extent than If proclaimed'
by an Infidel, and yet behold the harvest
of suicides that followed, a few years
ago, the blasphemous teaching of the
world's great agnostic, Robert G. Inger-
soll, who. taught as one of his "cardinal
tenets that -man might take'hls own Hfo
with Impunity.
Rev. Edgar P. Hill, to give eppourage
ment to his theory that the late Jojm Wil
son had been received of the Father, al
though In the later years of his life h
had drifted farther and farther from the
beliefs and practices of his childhood and
of his "riper years; said at his funeral:
"He knew, no doubt, that he was stand
ing on tho threshold of the, unknown
world, and it may be that even then out
of .the haze there were shining the dear'
rays of the Sun of Righteousness. And
let us trust that now, face to face with
Him in whom are hid all the treasures of
wisdom and knowledge, he Is having ex
plained these great questions 'which for
so many years he loved to think about."
And this exhortation, too, comes right
on the heel of the following admission
from the preacher's lips: "He talked of
religion, but as the years went by and
he began to investigate and his thoughts
were led this way and that on these great
subjects, he often found himself getting
away from many things which In child
hood had been accepted without ques
tion." But Christ says:1 "If any man will do hig
will he shall know of the doctrine wheth
er It be of God." No place or room'
here for doubt, and no "getting away"
from the truth, which is the word of
God. And again: "If any of you lack
wisdom, let him ask of God that giveth'
to all men liberally, and upbraideth not;
and It shall be given him." Millenniums
ago Job said: "I know that my Redeemer
llveth," and 19 centuries past" Paul de
clares, "1 know whom I have believed."
And millions slnco have voiceo?'the same
sentiments living, and in death there was
no dismay, no "haze" around tho' bed
side nor in the room of the dying, trust
ful" saint. "Whori John "Wesley, who In
tho providence of God became the spirit
ual progenitor of the mightiest and most
numerous class' of 'Christians on 'earth,"
pressed his dying pillow, he said: "The
best of alibis, God is with us." And .the
basfs of Christian hope among all the mil
lions of his followers has ever; been tho
same: .Justification -by faith and the
witness of. the spirit. And when John
Knox, tho Presbyterian, and mighty man
of God, in tho strenuous exercise of a
faith that caught a glimpse of the glory-'
crowned splendors of the Inner sanctuary,
pried out, rtGlve me Scotland, or I -die,"
he never for a moment entertained the
thought that as the years went .by his
spiritual children should get ."farther and
farther away" from the simplicity of their
first belief to enter the "haze" in death,
but that their "path should be as a light
shining more anil more unto tho perfect
day." & "WV BARBEE.
