HIS OWN FIGURES. (Continued from Flrat Page.) Ilralea would have been the medium of exchange used. Thla distinction waa very clearly giv en In an article In the New York Kven lnar I'oat of Hepternlmr 11, IMlrS, entitled "The Worklngmun'a Flrat Leaaon In Money," aa followa, lowlt; "Jlut he lone of the first traders In the world) whim found out that tho forms of money ho was using, namely, cattle. Iron, liLols, tea, ri'lr, for any number of reoaoiia, would not do. And so he quick ly began lo use. the new money gold and allver, for that purpose, and found that they answered perfectly." "And from that time to the preaent, money aa represented by gold and sil ver has served two purposes; first, as a medium of exchange; second, as a measure (standard) of value." Now, It will be perceived that It Is iiilt possible to have but one measure (or standard) of value, and yet several metals serving aa mediums of ex change, or money, under that single standard, Just aa we now have both gold and sliver serving as money, or a medium of exchange for articles bought and sold under the single gold measure lor atariilard). Indeed It Is Iniixsutlble to have tha two standards of value In operation at the same time, because allver fluctuates so much that even If the ratio of value between It and gold were exactly fixed today tin order to make the two stand ards or measures and their respective coins exactly equal In value, so that both coins could circulate side by side) by tomorrow the price of silver would have changed, and the equality of the standards being destroyed, the cheaper coins would drive out the dearer. Just us the silver dollar In 1782, when It was : per cent cheaper than the gold dollar, drove the latter out of circulation un till mi, and Just as the gold dollar In IN.H, when It was J per cent cheaper than the silver dollar, drove all the allver dollars out of circulation until 1MMI, and Instead of having bimetallism e should thus be Immediately reduced to monometallism. Hence It Is clear that in order to have bimetallism In practical uae, we muat have but a alngle measure (or standard) of value, with the other metal adjusted In some way to that standard, either as our allver dollars now are lo the gold dollar, or as the allver franca of France aro to the gold franca, or In soine other way. by International KfT'-e-ment or otherwise; and furthermore that the measure (or standard) of value chosen, should preferably be not fluc tuating silver, but steady gold. Moreover It la perfectly clear that bi metallism doea not Involve abandoning the gold standard; that the gold stand ard don't necewuirlly mean gold mono metallism; and that there la no Incon sistency whatever In advocating the gold standard and also bimetallism with It. Now on thla point the Republican platform declares as followa: THE PLATFORM. "The Republican party Is unreserved "ly for sound money. It caused the "enactment of the law providing for the "resumption of specie payments In 1ST!'; "since then every dollar has been as "good as gold. "We are unalterably opKsed to every "measure caluculatcd to debase our "currency or Impair the credit of our "country. We are oppured lo the free "coinage of allver, except by Inter "nationul agreement with the leading "commercial nations of the world, 'which we pledge ourselves to promote, 'nnd until such agreement can be oh 'tolned the existing gold standard "must b preserved. All our silver and paper currency must be maintained at "parity with gold and we favor all "measures designed to maintain Invlo "lably the obligations of the United "Slates and all our money whether coin "or paper, at tho present standard, the standard of the most enliRhtenecI na tions of the earth." It will be observed that the platform la In favor of the gold standard (or measure); that la Is opposed to the free coinage of sliver unless by Inter national agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, which It plcilgea the party to promote; and un til such nn agreement can be obtained It declares the gold standard must be preserved. As no sane man for a moment sup- poHcn that the leading commercial na tions of the world, such as England, France, Germany, etc., are going to iiliandon the gold standard In order to promoto free silver coinage, but on the contrary that the whole object of an International agreement is, whale pre n rvliiK the gold standard which those nations refuse to give up, to provide Miirh snfcguanlH as will admit of sliver being agnln coined as money and cir culating with gold, without driving the gold out. It Is evident that the declara tion of the Republican platform In fa vor of the gold standard until an Inter national agreement Is reached, Is not a declaration that when that agreement Is reached the gold standard shall be abandoned, but on the contrary that It shall still be continued forever. More over, aa an International agreement would prevent silver from driving gold out of circulation, and would permit both to circulate together, to open the mints to silver coinage then would give us practical bimetallism, and not a silver monometallism, which Is all Mr. rtryan'a project amounts to. The Republican platform therefore declares In favor of the gold standard, and of free silver coinage aa soon as we enn have practical bimetallism, and not silver monometallism merely. Now throughout this campaign, Mr. Hryan has railed at the Republican platform, and laughed It to scorn. In his speech In the Chicago convention he said: "Why If they tell us the gold standard Is a good thing, we point to their platform and tell them that their platform pledges the party to get rid of the gold standard, and substitute bi metallism." "If the gold standard Is a good thing, why try to get rid of It? . . . And if the gold standard is a bad thing, why should we wait till some other nations are willing to help us let It go 7" In his spirech. In Tammany Hall, he said: "Tha Republican party does not aay that the gold standard la a Rood tliliiK The Republican party pxpresaly declares bimetallism la better than the gold standard, ber.ause when the Republican platform pledge the Republican party to auhatllute the dou ble standard for the gold standard, It makes a valid declaration that the oth er atandurd Is drliabl. In prefrrenca to the single gold standard." And In almost all hla other speeches ho haa rung the changes upon thla theme. We have seen that the Republican party does not propose to get rid of the gold standard at all, but on the contrary to continue It forever; that It does not propose to substitute bimetal lism for the gold standard, but to have bimetallism with the gold standard re tained, that It doea not pledge the sub stitution of the double standard for the gold standard as Mr. Ilryan alleges, and consequently does not declare bimetal lism to be better than the gold stand ard as he erroneonualy Infers, It ap pears, therefore, that Mr. Ilryan's argu ments on thu: point are based on falae premises, and hence fall. On the other hand. It Is apparent that nrt only la It not inconsistent for the Ri. publican party to advocate bimetallism and also the retention of the gold standard; but that that la the only pos sible way In which we can have bimet allism In practical use at all; and fur thermore that bimetallism, as advocat ed by Mr. Ilryan at the ratio of 14 to I, with the abandonment of the gold standard, Is not bimetallism at all, but monometallism, and his project Is not only an Impossibility, but a patent ab surdity. Will any one deny that to foreign and home creditors alike, as well as to the business community, the gold standard means confidence and credit, jpr that free silver coinage means distrust and panic? Again the question arises, with all of these Inevitable and many of them con ceded consequences of Mr. Hrysn's elec Him. la It aaTe or advisable to put him In? JAMKH B. MURRAY.

The mere declaration that the Demo crats propose to inaugurate the free and unlimited coinage of sliver Is a menace to our financial and Industrial Institutions.

Declaration of Principles Tha Republicans of th United States, assembled by their representatives In National Convention, appealing for the popular and historical justification of their claims to th matchless achieve ments of thirty years of Republican rule, earnestly and confidently address themselves to the awakened Intelli gence, experience and conscience of their countrymen In th following dec laration of facts and principles: For th first time sine th Civil War th American people have wit nessed th calamitous consequences of full and unrestrained Democratic con trol of th Government It has been a record of unparalled Incapacity, dis honor and disaster. In administrative management It has ruthlessly sacrific ed Indlspenslbl revenue, entailed an unceasing deficit eked out ordinary current expenses with borrowed money, piled up the public debt by t2A2.0O0.000 In time of peace, forced an adverse bal ance of trade, to a perpetual menace hanging over the redemption fund, pawned American credit to alien syn dicates and reversed all the measures and results of successful Republican rule. In the broad effect of Its policy It has precipitated panic, blighted in dustry and trade with prolonged de pression, closed factories, reduced work and wages, halted enterpr1srand crip pled American production while stimu lating foreign production for the Amer ican market Every consideration of public safety and individual Interest demands that the government shall be rescued from the hands of those who have shown themselves incapable of conducting It without disaster at homa and dishonor abroad, and shall he re stored to the party which for thirty years administered It with unequaled success and prosperity. A Protective Tariff. We renew and emphasize our allegt ance to the policy of protection as th bulwark of American Industrial inde pendence and the foundation of Amer ican development and prosperity. This true American policy taxes foreign pro ducts and encourages home industry; It puts the burden of revenue on for eign foods, it secures the American market for the American producer; it upholds the American standard of wages for the American worklngman; It puts th factory by the side of the farm, and makes the American farmer less dependent on foreign demand and price; it diffuses general thrift and founds the strength of all on the strength of each. In Its reasonable ap plication it Is Just fair, and impartial, equally opposed to foreign control and domestlo monopoly, to sectional dis crimination and individual favoritism. We denounce th present Democratic tariff as sectional. Injurious to the pub lic credit and destructive to business enterprise. We demand such equitable tariff on foreign Imports which come Into competition with American pro ducts as will not only furnUh adequate revenue for the necessary expenses of the government but will protect Amer ican labor from degredation to the wage level of other lands. We are not pledged to any particular schedules. The question, of rates is a practical question, to be governed by the condi tions of the time and production; the ruling and uncompromising principle Is the protection and development of American labor and industry. The country demands a right settlement and then It wants rest Reciprocity With Other Nations. We believe the repeal of the reci procity arrangements negotiated by the last Republican administration was a national calamity, and we demand their renewal and extension on such terms as will equalise our trade with other nations, remove the restrictions which now obstruct the sale of Amer ican products in the ports of other countries and secure the enlarged mar kets of our farms, forests and factorlea Protection and reciprocity are twin measures of Republican policy, and go hand In hand. Democratic rule haa recklessly struck down both, and both must be re-established. Protection for what we produce, free admission for the necessaries of life which we don't produce, reciprocal agreements af mu tual interest which gain open markets for us In return for our open market to others. Protection builds up domestic Industry and trade and secures our own market for ourselves. Reciprocity builds up foreign trade and finds an outlet for our surplus. Protection to Sugar Producers. We condemn the present administra tion for not keeping faith with the sugar producers of this country. The Republican party favors such protec tion as will lead to the production on American soil of all the sugar th American people use, and for which they pay other countries more than (100,000,000 annually. Wool and Woolens. To all our products to those of the mine and the field, aa well as to those of the shop and the factory to hemp to wool, the product of the great Indus try of sheep husbandry, as well as to the finished woolens of the mill we promise the most ample protection. Merchant Marine. We favor restoring tha early Amert- Of THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. can policy of discriminating duties for th up-bulldlng of our merchant maiin and the protection of our ahlpplng In the foreign carrying trad, so that American ships th product of Amer ican labor, employed In American ship yards, sailing under th Stars and Stripes, and manned, officered and owned by Americans mar regain th carrying of our foreign commerce. The Financial Issue. "Th Republican party is unreserv edly for sound money. It caused th enactment of th law providing for the resumption of specie payments In 17; since then every dollar has been as good as gold. W are unalterably op posed to every measure calculated to de baa our currency or Impair the credit of our country. We are, therefore, op posed to the free coinage of silver, ex cept by International agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves to promote, and until such agreement can be obtained we believe the existing gold standard must be preserved. All our silver and paper currency now in circulation must be maintained at a parity with gold, and we favor all measures designed to maintain Inviola ble the obligations of the United States, and all our money, whether coin or paper, at the preaent standard, the standard of the most enlightened na tions of the esrth." Pensions for Veterans. The veterans of the Union armies de serve and should recelv fair treatment and generous recognition. Whenever practicable they should be given th preference In the matter of employ ment and they are entitled to th en actment of such laws as best calculat ed to secure the fulfillment of the pledges made to them in the dark days of tha country's periL We denounce th practice of the pension bureau so recklessly and unjustly carried on by th present administration, of reducing pensions and arbitrarily dropping names from th rolls; as deserving the severest condemnation of the American people. Foreign Relations. Our foreign policy should be at all times Arm. vigorous and dignified, and all our interests in the western hemis phere carefully watched and guarded. The Hawaiian Islands should be con trolled by the United States and no for eign power should be permltetd to In terfere with them. The Nicaragua Canal should be built owned and op erated by the United States, and by the purchase of the Danish Islands we should secure a proper and much-need ed naval station in the West Indies. Armenian Massacres. The massacres in Armenia have aroused the deep sympathy and just indignation of the American people, and we believe that the United States should exercise all the Influence it can properly exert to bring these atrocities to an end. In Turkey, American resi dents have been exposed to the gravest dangers and American property de stroyed. There and everywhere Amer ican citlsena and American property must be absolutely protected at all hazards and at any cost Monroe Doctrine. We reassert the Monroe doctrine in Its full extent and reaffirm the right of the Unulted States to give the doctrine effect by responding to the appeals of any American state for friendly Inter vention In case of European encroach ment We have not Interfered, and shall not Interfere, with the existing possessions of any European power in this hemtsphete, but those possessions must not on any pretext, be extended. We hopefully look forward to the eventual withdrawal of the European powers from this hemisphere, and the ultimate union of all the English speaking part of the continent by the free consent of its inhabitants. Independence of Cuba. From the hour of achieving their own independence the people of the United States have regarded with sympathy the struggles of other American peoples to free themselves from European dom ination. We watch with deep and abid ing Interest the heroic battle of the Cu ban patriots against cruelty and op pression, and our best hopes go out for the full success of their determined con test for liberty. The government of Spain, having lost control of Cuba and being unable to protect the property or lives of resi dent American citizens or to comply with Its treaty obllgatlones, we believe that the government of the United States should actively use its influence and good offices to restore peace and give independence to the island. Enlargement of. the Navy. The peace and security of the repub lic and the maintenance of its rightful Influence among the nations of the earth demand a naval power commen surate with Its position and responsi bility. We therefore favor the contin ued enlargement of the navy and a complete system of harbor and eqast defenses. 3 Immigration Laws. For the protection of th equality of our American citlsenshlp and of tha wages of our worklngmen against tha fatal competition of low-priced labor, we demand that the immigration laws be thoroughly enforced, and so extend ed as to exclude from entrance to tha United States those who can neltbar read nor write. Civil Service. The Civil Service law was placed oa the statute book by th Republican party, which has always sustained It, and w renew our repeated declara tions that it shall be thoroughly and honestly enforced and extended wher ever practicable.
