Ex-President Harrison is a con stitutional lawyer, and a states man, says the Rosebnrg Flaindeal er, and is perhaps as well qualified to give an opinion on matters touching the officers of the gov ernment as any other man in the country. In view of the fact that the question of the election of United States senators iB likely to be considered by the senate in the near future because of the failure of certain legislatures to fill vacan cies, and the appointments by the governors of persons to fill the offices, the following from a recent magazine article by the ex-presi-deDt is timely. "The United States. has taken some supervision of the members plee and policy; aud they all will be in the course of a few months, but for the present only such changes as are considered neces sary will be made. It is alto gether probable that when mors important matters have been dis posed of, some of the extentions of the civil service rules, which are known to have been made solely for the purpose of keeping democrats in office, will be set aside. . Steps are now being quiet ly taken that will later on give the country a few surprises in connec tion with some of Mr. Cleveland's extentions or tne civil service rules. Inere is no more sincere advocate of the true spirit of civil service reform than President Mc- Kinley, but where it is shown that the civil service rules have merely been made a cloak to cover the rankest partisanship, he will not hesitate to strip the cloak off the partisans. Where delegations are made re sponsible for appointments in the various states much labor and worry is taken off the shoulders of tbe president, and in most cases the best men are selected. president who follows this plan rarely has trouble with congress men or senators of his own party, THE SOUND MONEY" LIT- K, Oiui K aiiai my in incac columns is published under the direction of the "Sound Money Club." of NewYrk.

Thriving on Assassination. We Bra told that the standard dollar is not primary money. It is not a promise to pay, it is a legal tender lor all debts, and it does Dot have to be redeemed in anything on the face of the earth. If any man can give a bet ter definition of primary money than this, I would like to see it. This government is the fast friend of silver money and of the people who use it, rather than of the American and bnglish corpora' tions who mine silver and would coin it at a fictitious valuation. Prior to 1873 this govern' ment coined S144,000,0U0 of silver; Bince then, 637,00u,000. In HI years, under a gold stand ard, nearly four times as much silver was coined as in 81 years under the so called dou ble standard. A certain kind lady always chloroformed her child when she whipped it. Miss tiilver was assassinated in 1878, at a time when there was almost none of her In circula tion, and sinco that fateful day she has thrived on assassination and has grown from a living skeleton to be the fat woman in the circus I In contemplating her brilliant post mortem career I am constrained, with the apostle, to exclaim : "Oh, death, where is thy Bting? Oh, grave, where is thy victory?" After 1878 this country prospered as no oth er ever did for 19 years, and we are asked to behove that it took this wide awake nation 19 years to find out that it was ruined by the legislation of 1873. The negroes in some sec tions beliove in a hoodoo charm, which is harmless for a year and then suddenly devel ops insanity, fits, eto. The crime of 1878 seems to have worked in a hoodoo way. The Egg Argument. The 18 to 1 people tell us that the coinage of sil ver will create unlimitod demand for it. They decline to give us the howness or the wherefore- ness of this new born demand, but with child like faith they expect it to rise in all its beau ty as the fabled Venus rose from the froth of the sea. They say the demand will come; so the Seventh Day Adventists tell us tho end will come, and if their picnio comes off first, they will not need silver; the demand will be for free and unlimitod water. They contend, if this government takes all the silver that comes at 16 to 1, silver will be worth par aU over the world, and they use an egg argu ment to prove it. They say, if a merohant advertises that he will pay 26 cents per dozen for eggs, so long as he has the ability to take all that come, eggs will be worth 28 cent in all that country. But suppose the merchant did not take them I Suppose when a farmer drove up to his store the merchant said unto him: "My friend, you have misunderstood me. 1 am not buying eggs. I am simply count ing them, certifying that they are good and handing them back to you." What would eggs thon be worth? The same old 10 or 15 cents per dozen. Under unlimited coinage the government would not buy sliver or guarantee the value of the coins. It would stamp it "without re course." Silver would come from every coun try in the world and the government would be a fool to undertake to guarantee the value of the oolns by trying to preserve the parity botweon the metals. If a herder drove a lot of cow ponies through the mint and they were branded "I1U0 horse" and delivered to the owner at the other end of the building, it would not Improve the breed of the ponies nor create a wild demand for them at tbe brand price. Our government has lost 1200,000,000 trying to create demand for silver, for the sole and separate use, behoof and benefit of the silver mine owner, by buying it when it did not want it and had no need of it, and the silver mining "villain still pursues" ltl Unole Sam has this silver on hand now. It would load a two horse wagon train 173 miles long, putting 1,000 pounds on each wagon and letting them occupy 80 font each lu line, and I am mean enough to want to see him gut even with the game before we start a new dual for anybody's benefit. Can't Stop the Flood of Silvet. If the unlimited coinage of silver by our government miuld bring It to par, the Imme diate effect would be to start every mine and mill In the world running at its utmost capac ity, a large portion of the unemployed capi tal of the world would seek this flvld, and the bowels of the mountains of the earth would be torn asunder to get the benefit of the double price. In 1804 214,GUO,UUO of silver was mined and sold at about 08 oents per ounce. If ths price was raised to 129 cents per ounoe, the IS to 1 prtoe, what would the harvest be? The old rule of throe wUI solve the problem. If a railway engine will run 90 miles an hour on 68 pounds of steam pressure, how fast would It run on 129 pounds of pressure? The blasted thing would have to stop ouo In awhile, and wait for IU shadow to catch up. Senator Stew art and his crowd tell ns there can be no flood of silver. In Noah's time there was a man of sanguine temperament like that, lie was standing on the tip end of a high mountain and the waters were linking his toes. He hall- M Noah and IxKtf'd to be taken In the ark, but Noah had sailing orders from above and refusod to take htm aboard. As Noah sailed tway he shook his fist at the old man and ex claimed, "Oo to the devU with your old dug out; It Isn't going to bo much of a shower anyway." Tbe fifth proposition Is that 18 to I coinage will Increase the price of property. If this government should open Its mints to oolnag of tho world's sliver at 19 to 1, we would go at once to silver monometallism. This la the voire of all history emphasised by the present status of every free coinage oountry on the earth. W ran no more have bimetallism la etual use and unlimited sliver coinage than we can have a square, round object, or dry, Wet weather. Vi herein would the people t benefited If they get double prices In bait val ue money? If farmers' produrta brought double prices so wtiuld the manufacturer'. The benefit and advantages wnjt b equal, ex cept that buyers would alwnjt deduct enough to safely rover the fluctuations of silver, and this amount would l a dead loss to producer and a premium to )erulators. 1 knew a boy who sold a pur dog for IIUO, but be took pay In pups at I'JU apiece, so h was not material ly iM-uitlt.-d by Ihe Inflated price.

Prejudice is the curse of this country. It ia the only reef in the path of our ship of state. the only menace to our experiment of self gov ernment. Tbe prejudice of the uniformed makes them the prey of professional agitators, calamity howlers and politicians who are an hungered for office. Our Excellent Financial Showing;. The argument is made that we owe so much foreira debt that the interest is confiscating us. The ablest financiers on this continent goods OF in vhn hov. mati t Vi o DTI V 1 1 an. a t n rl nlan. nn. i foreign debt at S2,0O0.COO,O0O, which as they es timate at a y2rate of interest amounts to an annual interest account of 190,000,000. Our globe trotters are spending annually $47,000,- 000 abroad. Most of them are ignorant of the beauty and grandeur of their own country, which far surpasses anything they see abroad. Tbey ought to give up this foolish fad and spend their millions getting acquainted with this country for a few years. If we are actu ally insolvent and cannot pay we ought to make a general assignment for the benefit of all our creditors. This la the way an honest man does when he fails in business. He does not bide out his property and offer GO cents on tho dollar. Instead of being insolvent we are better able to pay than any people on tbe face of the earth. Our national debt is in round numbers $916,062,000. It has been re duced to one-third its former amount. In 1865. it was $2,845,007,000. The dobt of Great Britain and Ireland (tbe creditor nation) is 18 860,719, 000; the debt of France is $4,446,000,000; Rus sia, $3,491,000,000; Austria-Hungary, $2,866,000, 000; Italy, $2,824,000,000; Germany, $1,650,000, 000; Spain (with one-fourth of our popula tion), $1,251,000,000, The per capita dobt of France is $116; ot Great Britain and Ireland, $87; Italy, $76; Spain, $73; Busula, $30, while our per capita debt is $14. Uncle 6am, bless his old soul, is tbe only good housekeeper in the whole lot I Our bahk deposits amount to $4,000,000,000, while those of all Europe only amount to $6,500,000,000. By our last census our per capita of wealth, as shown by the assessment rolls, was $341, and the people have never been bad about assessing their property too high. The war veterans cannot be for repudiation on account of our alleged inability to pay. It is a fundamental principle of law and morals that a man must bo just before he is generous and that gifts made by an insolvent are void as to creditors. Our government is giving them about $140,000,000 annually. If we can afford to be liberal, we ought to strain a point and be honest too. If our government can give it like a prince, it ought to pay like a gentle man. Who Are the Debtors? A large part of the debts figured against us are in fact not Interest bearing debts. They consist of railroad, real estate and other cor poration debts where defaults were made, and mortgages on the property have been fore closed, the property sold and the debts prao- ticnlly extinguished. ' The only dsbts that the people at large are interested in are the national debt and the state dubts. The state debts, by the last cen sus, amounted to $228,997,887. The county debts amounted to $145,048,045: school district debta, $36,701,948, while the debts of cities and towns amounted to $724,463,000, making a total of $1,135,210,442. You will observe that about throe-fourths of this total debt is owed by the cities and towns. With this borrowed money they have built gas, electric light and wator works plants, paved their streets, etc. Now, the 10 to 1 city man asks his country brother, who uses coal oil in bis house and darkness outside, who draws his water from a well and bathes In tbe creek, who splits the mud in wet weather and kicks up the dust In dry, to help bim repudiate the debt incurred by him in getting ahead of the countryman as to these comforts and conveniences of life. As to all our Drivato domestic debta, it is immaterial to tbe government whether the redheaded men owe the black headed ones, or the black headed ones owe the redheaded ones. One holds the debt and the other holds the prop erty it purchased, and they cancel each other. Injustice ol Scaling Debts. The suggestion is sometimes made that, by the enhancement of gold, debts have been in creased when measured in property, and therefore they ought to be scaled. I have dis cussed the gold enhancement theory, but de sire to add: That practically all our debts were contracted since the gold standard was adopted, and that standard entered into and became a part of every contract, and if gold has advanced it would be Just as dishonest to pay by any other Btandard as it would be if it hod not advanced. If a man contract for 1,000 bushels of corn, it is no answer to his oontract to say that corn has risen slnoe the oontract was made. Besides, all our obliga tions have passed from hand to band, most of them many times, and the present holders had do more to do with the rise or fall of gold than they did with the rise or fall of the tides. The underlying, fructifying element of this 16 to 1 movement is socialism. It is the same old effort to get something for nothing. The Ooxoyltes wanted grub for nothing. The sin gle tax cranks want land for nothing. The Populists want government monopoly of trans portation and private monopoly of the wailing business for nothing. The 18 to 1 people want 60 pur cent of debts for nothing. 1 he Bellamy He want everything for nothing. And I might suggest tliut tbe new woman wants our bifurcatod garment for nothing, but that Is not pertinent to ths subject under discussion and I will not do so. The movement mean repudiation. All els Is theory, pretense and dreams. It is an effort to pass a left banded, bnkryit bill, not for the benefit of th unfortunate .debtor who cannot pay, but for the rich a vJell, who ran pay. but want to brat their creditors. The poor man is not in debt ; he never bad a chance to get In debt. Th corporations, speculators and plunger generally constitute the dobtor cIoh. Every wag earner belongs to th cred itor claas. No on would be benefited by 16 to 1 rolnage except the debtor class. Even the mine owner would not, for th temporary stimulus given to silver would Increase It protlurtton until the prion would fall below what It Is now. On the other hand, all would suffer. If a bill for free coinage of silver at 10 to 1 were to pas either house of congress, and it was ascertained that It would paa th other house and that the president would sign It, the panto that would ensue would be to that of 18U8 what a tornado is to a icphyr, Oedltor, to avoid being paid In debased mon ey, would crowd and crush for payment as th peopl do for exit in a theater on an alnrm of fir. 1 rrdil and ounQdrnoe, the twin oivini- tie of prosperity, would depart from us. All buainee would b paralysed, labor unem ployed, and despair would hang her blaek pall In a million of home, only to b lifted when reason resumed har sway. It took Franca 60 years to entirely recover from th John Law fiasco. How England Is Ruining I s.
