ELECTION OF SENATORS.
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

of the civil service rules, which
are known to have been made

country a few surprises in connec

advocate of the true spirit of civil

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.

Continued from last leans.
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

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

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

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.
