VMr. Jonathan Bourne, jr., has resigned
the secretaryship of the committee. Of
his motive it is Dot necessary to speak,
for his motive is bis owa, and very prob
ably is the result of mixed considera
tions, says the Oregonian. - He has not
yet declared himself, as to his prefer
ences in the campaign,' for. the only dif-
PEASE

j party is on the money iseue; but no
doubt be feela tbat since the active work
of the campaign must begin at once, it
is proper that he should yield to those
who are fully prepared to enter upon it.
Mr. Owen N. Denny haB been appointed

Rryaa's Running; Mate.
" . Louisville Courier-Journal,
Se wall, Bryan's running mate, is not
only the richest man in Maine, a rail
road magnate and a bank president, but
he is a rank protectionist, a member of
that officious protective organization,
the American Tariff League, and ' went
to Chicago to try to secure the adoption
ot a ship subsidy plank similar to that
in the Republican platforai. He can
well stand on the platform, of the Chi
cago convention, , which repudiated the
cardinal Democratic doctrine of a "tariff
for revenue only" and submitted a plank
in the interpretation of which all pro
tectionists can nnite.

1 Edward Atkinson estimates mat mere

that about 10 per cent, or 2,500,000, are

none in enforced idleness in 1892, when
the McKinley law was in operation and

These 25,000,000 workers of the

OLD-FASHIONED SENSE. j
A Resident of Victor Treat Our Read-, i
. era to m Sample tif It. j
Since little Billy has "undertaken to
stand at the head of the great Demo
cratic party and to distil as the money,
question, I feel that it is my duty as a i
long-time and dyed in the wool Demo- i
crat, to give him some country cousinly
advice. You bad better drop this mat
ter, Billy. It's too practical for yon.
Poetry and rhetoric are your stronghold.
In this field you are immense. Besides,
these sordid bankers, merchants, farm- !
ers, mechanics and day-laborers, who
will vote this fall, know but little about;
poetry-. They will admire and applaud
your grand metaphors, whether they
mean anything or not, but when you at
tempt to- instruct them in dollars and
cents problems, they are apt to laugh
at you.. . ' V
These quarreling wretches have been
forced by stern necessity to study this
plain, practical query. They have fonnd
oat long since that the office of the dol
lar is to measure values, that it has no
power to fix or determine values. All
of the errors which you people are mak
ing, originate from the misconception of
tbat abstract term, dollar. The dollar
measures values. The scales, yardstick
and half-bushel boxes measure quantity.
These practical people would regard
with suspicion a long-haired elocution
ist, stating tbat the number of pounds
ot wheat in a sack is increased or di
minished in proportion to the number
of scales there . are to weigh with.
Neither would the said elocutionist car
tablish a claim to sanity by saying tbat
the price of the wheat is Jessened or in
creased in proportion to the number of
dollars that happen to be coined. .
The weight of the wheat is determined
by the laws of gravitation. The scales
are a contrivance to measure this at
traction. - The price is fixed by the laws of sup
ply and demand. The volume of wheat
in tight constitutes the supply on one
side, and the grand aggregation of de
vouring stomachs constitute the demand
on the other. , The relation of these two
elements fix a value on the wheat. The
dollar is used . as a measure of that
value. 7 '
Then there is another little matter,
Billy, that I must not overlook. You
bold out the ides that this government
can pay off its bonded debt with coined
silver dollars, dollar for dollar, eyen
though they should be worth only 50
cents. Now I don't believe that this
could be made to work. It does not
seem to baraonize with the implied
agreement that the holder of every obli
gation muet be paid in full. I know
people are pretty bard up these times,
still the fires ot patriotism are still
b mouldering away, ready to blaze forth
with irresistible splendor when an at
tempt is made to traduce oar national
honor. Pause Billy. Pause and con
sider the history of our race!.. Those
battle scarred veterans' who planted firm
our .national flag, and established ' our
national honor, are not all dead yet. ' A
beneficent Providence has blessed them

well to buy the Maltese Cross.
It will cost a little more in

with many sons of the same loyal blood.
'Tis to these you speak. Can yon in
cold blood ask them 'to join hands with
you in the consummation of this diaboli
cal deed ?
There is another little trick, pertain
ing to political economy, that you don't
seem to get on to. It's this way. Sup
pose these foreign bondholders should
be induced by the mighty persuasive
power of your eloquence to accept 50
cent 6ilver dollars in payment for their
bonds. Would the debt be paid?
Would not these same legal tender dol
lars come back here in payment for the
products of our labor, such' as wheat,
beef, pork, wool, etc. A debt is a debt,
Billy. The ultimate payment of ' all
debts must be made with the products
of past labor saved. You may invent as
many schemes as yo wish, but you can
never pay a nation's debt with anything
but the products of the nation's labor.
This has always been so. Hence we con
clude that it will continue to be eo as
long as intelligence is pretty evenly dis
tributed over the world. During the
last thirty years we have borrowed a
great deal of money. We have bor
rowed several billions to blow in on toll
roads. Our public lands 'have passed
into the homes of private owners who
have straightway proceeded to mortgage
the same, and in many cases the pro
ceeds have been invested Ln luxuries
pianos, organs, buggies, etc. We have
had a grand old time as long as our
territory lasted. If we could discover
some magic wand with which to wipe
out all of these ogly debt, it would be
very nice. Such - ephemera.1 dreams,
however, belong in childhood's happy
realm. Grown people know better. We
must face the music; we- must pay our
debts as per terms of our original con
tracts, if we expect - to hold up our
heads and brag about being Americans.
Besides its possible that we will have to
pay our debts honestly and fairly. The
rest of the civilized world might con
clude to lick the stuffing out of us if we
don't. ;
