M'KINLETS CUBAN POLICY.
President McKinley's policy of
protecting American citizens in
Cuba goes a great deal further than
protecting them in their political
rights, as he has fully made known
to congress. It includes protect
ing thf m from the starvation that
is htaiing so many of them in the
fiice, as a result of the policy of
Gen. Weyler in cooping them up in
the cities and towns of
Cuba where there is no
opportunity for those who are de.
pendent upon their tabor for a liv
ing for themselves and families to
obtain employment. President
McKinley has asked congress to
appropriate money to furnish
food, clothing and medicine for
these suffering Americabs, and
congress has ncted promptly, the
resolution passing the house
Thursday last, and the relief will
be distributed by U. S. officials.
The Spanish minister wanted to
have the distribution made by
Spanish officials, but be was
promptly informed that it could
not be done; that as long as Spain
had by its policy caused these
people, American citizens and non
combatants, to be deprived of the
work by which they lived, it should
have seen that they were in some
other way provided for; that hav
ing failed to do its duty, the TJ. S.
would reliee its own citizens,
either by birth or naturalization,
without help or hindrance from
Spain.
There ia little doubt that the
sending of relief to Cuba for suf
fering Americans by this govern
ment is the first step towards in
tervention, either peaceably or by
force, to put an end to the barbar
ous condition of affairs on the
island, the senate having already
passed the Morgan resolution rec
ognizing tbe belligerency of the
Cubans. That this should follow
ia a natural sequence. If present
conditions were allowed to con
tinue, the TJ. S. government would
have to establish permanent relief
depots in every town on the island.
I'he first duty will be to clothe
the naked Americans, feed the
hungry and Bee that the sick get
proper nursing and medicine; then
the conditions that brought about
the suffering will have to be
changed. There will be no occa
sion for trouble, unless Spain
makes it If she does, so much
the worse for Spain.
HOW THEY BEAT HIM.
"In the senate he (Mitchell) had
made speeches in favor of free
silver, and when questioned as to
his position by the gold men, he
told them that he stood by the
principles ima down in the St.
Louis platform. The men then
compared notes and found that
someone was bound to get left, and
so they agreed not to take the oath
of office, and thus they prevented
the election of Mitchell." Senator
Coi belt in Urookljn EHgle.
Yes, they agreed to commit an
archy in order to defeat Senator
Mitchell. He was the choice of
the people and had the house
organized it would have been im

Mr. Corbett'a tools knew this and
they refused to take the oath of
office iu order to keep from elect

WHAT IS MONEY!
Subject Clearly Explained by a College
President at a Farmers' Conventloa.
Tbe following is part of tbe synopsis .
printed by tbe Milton (Wis. ) Journal of
an excellent address bv President Whit-
ford of Milton college before the farm- -
ers' convention at a recent meeting at
Milton. It contains some very lucid
contains some very
statements of money and of tbe power of
governments to fix value:
First. Two separate and distinct val
nes are assigned to money, one being
the intrinsic or market value of tbe ar
ticle used; tbe other the legal or face
value, indicated by the stamp or device
pressed upon the article. In some well
known instances what is popularly
called money has only one of these
values.
Second. The common practice of
tribes and nations in selecting such ar
ticles or commodities for money is to
adopt two kinds or grades of them, one
having greater market value according
to its weight, for use in the larger ex
changes in trade; the other having lesser
value, for the smaller exchanges. This
practice furnishes tbe first essential con
dition for a system of bimetallism.
Third. Only that money is basic and
widely and permanently used which it
made of precious metals, very generally
gold and silver. Other and perishable
commodities are finally abandoned oi
held redeemable in these metnls.
Fourth. The market value of these
metals, not their face value, constitutes
the original and continuous quality by
reason of which they are almost univer
sally accepted as basic or primary mon
ey. Government or custom can add a
quality, not inherent, but temporary,
to such metals and other articles used at
a medium of exchange. But tbe real
measure thus declared to be effective
and lasting must be the one establinhed
by tbe laws of trade, not by the edicts ol
government
Fifth. Government itself cannot fix
or control the market value or price oi
any metal or other commodity, whether
used as money or in tbe practical arts.
So it cannot make fiat money and com
pel the people to circulate it a great
length of time as money of any sort
Sixth. Any coins or other money
whose market value is less than tbeii
face value always soon expel from cir
culation all coins or other money whose
market value is greater according tc
their weight, unless the former are re
deemable in tbe latter. Whenever a coin
shows even a slight inferiority of itc
market value to its face value, it tends
at once to crowd out of use even a coin
whose two values are equivalent
Seventh. Gold bus been adopted by
the principal civilized nations as pri
mary money or the standard of values
because of its greater market value, itc
less weight for a given sum of money
and its least fluctuation in market value
of any of tbe precious metals.
Eighth. Coins like silver, whose
market value is less than their face val
ue, can be kept circulating at the same
time with gold coins even in somewhat
large amounts only by being redeem
able in the same denominations with
the gold. The same is true of papei
money, which has no appreciable mar
ket value.
Weyler Paper Promises.
Our "Grcenbackcrs" should rejoice
over the fact that another paper money
experiment is being tried. ' 'If greenback
put down the rebellion in the United
States, why shouldn't they prove effect
ive weapons against Cuban rebels?"
reasons General Weyler, who is flooding
tbe coast towns of Cuba with artisticallj
engraved promise to pay on one aide ol
a piece of paper and a picture of a well
developed tobacco pluut on the othei
side.
Tbe experiment is bound to be suo
crssful, for tbe notes are made legal
tender iu the worst way. Any shop
keeper who refuse to accept these prom
ise for their face value i subject to in
stant imprisonment iu Jail where con
fiuemeut mean almost certain deuth.
Of course under tbe circumstance the
note are accepted. Weyler, however.
forgot to decree that price should not
be raised, and the Cuban shopkeepers
are mean enough to try to defeat the
experiment by raising prices. So far
they have only doubled prices, bnt tacb
one ia trying to see bow high be can pot
prices, aud tbe end is not in sight
Come to thiuk of it, bigb price, con
itantly growing higher, bave defeated
au pat experiment with paper money,
Perhaps Weyler, by correcting tbis little
defect, may yet demonstrate tbat Green
barkers ar right and tbat cheap money
by proper legislation, can be made Just
a good money made from costly
metal. What a boon plenty of money
would be to mankind! Sucoesa to Wey
lor' experiment and death to the traitor
who trie to prevent it sucoea by rait
ing price or by refusing to accept Yttj
let handsome promise!

THOMAS JEFFEKSON.
THE ORIGINAL DEMONETIZATION OF
SILVER WAS EFFECTED BY
JEFFERSON'S ORDER.
He Was at All Times Opposed to Cheap
Money and Repudiation of Debts Be
lieved That Coinage Ratio Should Stick
Close to the Market Ratio Favored Us
of Both Metals, bnt 8howed Moderate
Preference For Gold Could Not Have
Stood on the Chicago Platform.
Tboruas Jefferson was a patriot and a
statesman of the highest order. It is
Proper?r f1?"
n. i
ities, but why should those who voted
in 1696 to repudiate debts and to cheap
en our dollar by attempting to fix an
artificial ratio between gold and silver
widely different from the market ratio
meet to honor, or dishonor, Jefferson's
name? Is there anything in bis writings
or his conduct to indicate tbat be would
have been a cheap money and repudia
tion Democrat?
In 1783 Mr. Jefferson wrote:
The proportion between the vain of gold
and silver is a mercantile problem altogether.
Just principles will lead us to disregard
legal proportions altogether, to Inquire Into
the market price of gold in the several coun
tries with which we shall principally be con
nected in commerce and to take an average
trom them.
Does this sound like tbo silver plank
of the Chicago platform?
In a letter to Mr. Hamilton in Feb
ruary, 1 792, Mr. Jefferson expressed bis
opposition to cheapening tbe dollar or
reducing the monetary unit. He said of
the dollar:
I very much doubt a right now to change the
value, and especially to lessen it. It would
lead to so eawy a mode of paying off their
debts Should it be thought, however,
that congress may reduce the value of the dol
lar, I should be for adopting for our unit, in
stead of the dollar, either one ounce of pure
rilver or one ounce of standard silver, so as to
keep the unit of money a part of the system
of measures, weights and coins.
The original "demonetization of sil
ver" was effected by the following or
der from Thomas Jefferson:
Department or Btatb, May 2, 1800.
Sir In consequence of a representation from
the directors of the Bank of the United States
that considerable purchases have been made
of dollars coined at the mint for the purpose
of exporting them, and as it is probable fur
ther purchases and exportation will be made,
the president (Thomas Jefferson) directs that
all silver to be coined at the mint shall be of
small denominations, so that the value of the
largest piece shall not exceed half a dollar.
James Madisok.
Robert Patterson, Eiq..
Director of tbe Mint
Except 1,000 pieces, no more silver
dollars were coined till after Andrew
Jackson retired from tbe presidency.
It is clear from Jefferson's writings
chat he favored the use of both metals,
but only at their natural ratio in tbe
world's markets. He seems to bave had
in instinctive fear that people who wish
ad an "easy mode of paying off their
debts" would attempt to fix our coin
age system independent of the world's
markets. His policy at all times was to
stick close to the natural ratio.
His desire to ascertain the market ra
tio between gold and silver, and adopt
that as the legal ratio is shown again
in his supplemental notes, Works, edi
tion of 1853, volume 1, page 170, written
in 1783 or 1784, when he suggests that
the committee of the state be instructed
To appoint also proper persons to Inquire
what ant the proportions between the values
of fine gold and fine silver at the markets of
the several countries with which we are or
may probably be connectod in commerce, and
what would be a proper proportion Here, hav
ing regard to the average of their values at
those markota and to other circumstances,
tnd to report the same to the committee, by
.hero to be laid before congress.
Jefferson framed and had passed by
the Virginia assembly a law by which
the value Of the paper money of Amer
ica was settled "in sterling money or
the lawful money of England."
If Jefferson had been compelled to
choose between tbe two metals, he
would undoubtedly bave taken gold. In
bis "Note" he observed that tbe high
price which Spain paid for gold bad
tendency to draw away gold and to
leave us only silver. He thonght, there
fore, that ' 'we might with safety lean
to a proportion somewhat above par for
gold."
Free silver Democrat sre not Jeffer
son Democrats. Tbey should either
abandon their false doctrines or worship
at another shrine.
BAD DRIVES OUT GOOD.
Senator Jones Admits That Thar Caa Be
bat One Standard of Vain.
No government can maintain at one
time more than one standard of value,
any more than it can maintain more
than one atandard of weight, or more
than one standard of measure, or more
than one standard of length. If there
be two or more standard of different
value, tbe standard of lower value will
Iu practice become tbe only standard
If one goe into tbe market, the law
being that a yard shall be either two
feet or three feet iu length, and buy
rarpets by the yard at a fixed price,
there will be delivered to him csrpet

If he buy coal by tbe ton, the law being
that a ton shall be either 1,000 or I.S40

peck, there will be delivered to bim

On the same principle. If tbe law be
