The republican party ha maile all
forum of currency In thin country as
(rood ai Kohl, and it propo!, to keep
them up to that xtamlaril.
Ttiern is nothing more certain in
political economy tlnin the fact that
HiiliHtnntial prosperity Is impossible
with a depredated hikI HiiftiMtiuir
currency.
Kven the Hluiil olil I'hilailelphiH
"Ledger," which hesitates lout?
before using harsh terms, sees in Mr.
Bryan nothing hut "a dangerous
demagogue.
'Anything to heat the repuhlicans"
is not going to lx so good ii song in
Bryan's mouth as It lias heen la-fore.
There Is two much of a silver echo to
suit sound money democrats.
Tim populists have lieen parading
the fact that Mr. Bryan is a man of
small means, lie has ceu niendlng
his time for two yinr making:
Hpm-hen uliout the country in favor
of free silver. How could he afford
It?
If it were merely n ipiestion of
lunjjs the young and incxperineed
Bryan might attract strong support
outside of a convention of lienm-cratia-l'opulistle
fanatics. Hut il
will require more logic than wind to
fool the people during this campaign.
Mr. fieorge Schiilinerich, chairman
of the democratic county committee
has resigned for the reason he can
not endorse the Bryan platform.
It is rumored that several other
committeemen will resign when that
body is called together for reorgani
sation. In less tlian a year after the adop
tion of the Jacohin silver policy It
will take to huy as much provis
ions and clothing as can now he
bought for !". And where are the
extra $10 to come from".' Not from
an increase of wages. That will lie a
very slow growth.
It seems that Bryan has worked
that crown of thorns and cro-s of
gold racket offin any numlier of his
old speeches. It was new to the t'lil
ngo crowd, however, anil they felt
that a fellow who could mouth out
auch pretty stuir as that must he an
oh) master in statesmanship.
The populist convention at St.
Iuis is no more harmonious than
was the Chicago convention. The
populists for gain want to fuse with
the democrats and endorse Bryan,
while the xpullts with princi l s
want to huild a platform and nomin
ate a ticket of their own. The strife
between the two factions is hitler in
deed. Mr. liryan's ss-ech in the conven
tion was not hi great or o eloip'ot
after all, except by comparison with
the lame and tame efforts of others.
It was a vindication of BousseauV
observation that 'In a nation of
blind men a one-eyisl man can l
king." If this same secch hail Is-en
delivered right after Ing'-rsoll's at
Cincinnati, or Crniik ling's or iar
fields at Chicago, it would have at
tracted little attention.
Notwithstanding the Knglish
bluster in opposition to arbitration ol
International differences prossrd by
the Washington government a few
months ago, I-nnl Salisbury ha
aubmitcd to our government a
"draft of treaty" providing for the
arbitration of International diuVren
ces. No far the t'nilcd Stales have
won. Now what Is required is that
we keep our heads and tcmers and
maintain a dignified and lirm I -car
ing. We need not humilia'e our
neighbor acrost the pond, but she
must deal justly with us and our
friends.

"All the power of money and
organized wealth, corporations and
moioolie of ail kinds will be
igniiist us. Justice Is on our side,
and this is the can-- of the people.
It is contest fur indru-tlal Itch-pen-ence,
and fur freedom frmn the dotu
inatioti of foreign powers and foreign
capitalists, and it does not mss-lil pos
sible thut in such a contest ls fore the
Aiuercian people, Justice should uiil
and wrong prevail. I do Dot beh-ive
we nlmll f.til."
Si writes Teller to Bryan lu his
letter of congratulation. The ioi
take made by the Senator is that his
statements are mere a-sumption
uid not fact. It is not true that all
organized wealth opposes free nilvcr
coinage. The iiio-t tyrannical eor
porotious in the country, silver mine
haroits, d'Uiaud unliioitrd silver
coinage. They are tyrani ieal Us-ause
die owners are non-residents, aliens
even, I'luglish aliens. No one knows
this better than the laborers who find
it in it ssary to strike for their rights.
li' sides even if all wealth were ar-i-ajed
against tree silver coinage, do
nen vi ho possess llii-. property coin-
nitt a ciiuie when they by their
'allots protect their own-.' And here
is where Mr. Teller )iggles with the
vord "justiec.'' It is uinloubteilly
not justice to the man of property to
ut his wealth int wo by .-utistituting a
'iasc currency- it is not "justice" to
he tailoring man to pay his old time
tvages in a debased currensy. It .is
not "justice" to the consumer to go
on importing merchandise on a gold
iiasis to be purchased and paid for at
retail with the ''debased currency
which lalsir earns at a gold bassis.
The republican party seeks not to
Mihauce the vali.e of currency but to
maintain it at its present standard.
That is justice, and the Amercian
elector will see that no failure occurs.
KA'HM ST. I.OCIS.
The populist convention was more
exciting on the s' cond day than the
tirst. The middle nf the-roaders were
Is'tlcr organized and are making
some noise. The permanent organi
zation, probahi.V e fleeted, was not an
nounced ut a late hour yesterday.
The committee on resolutions, con
sisting of one delegate from each
fate was appointed. The weather is
fearfully warm and no one seems to
have a desire to work. The silver
convention met but did nothing save
In listen to campaign songs. Id-legates
were refusist admission to the
populist convention on presentation
of their badges.

"The democratic newspapers and

In the course of political colli rn-ver-y

Mexico is par excellence the free

KIT OF IIISTUKY.
Savoyard, the well-knowu corres
pondent of the Times, gives the fol
lowing interesting bit of reudnes
eciiee and prophecy:
"' Bryan mado hisplitical fortune In
the Congressional caucus that nomin
ated Crisp. Though he was but little
over thirty and knew absolutely
nothing of the details of tariff legis
lation, Crisp made hi in a memtier of
the Ways and Means Committee. It
was that caucus that put the dem
ocratic party in tribulation. It was
i notoi ious trade and sell out. It
was a traffic in Congressional honors
that would have disgraced the city
council of a corrupt city government.
It was a betrayal of the democratic
putty. It made faction Inevitable.
"If Bryan is elected Crisp can have
anything he wants. He can domin
ate the real Cabinet, or he can pull
the stringsbehind the Throne. Bryan
nad much to do with makihg Crisp
speaker; Crisd had more to do with
making Bryan a great man."

Willi IIIM LAST BREATH.
Kx-(iov. Win. K. Russell of Mass
achusetts, died suddenly last week
while on an outing trip toward the
mountains of New IIatnishire. Bus
sell was a delegate to the Chicago
democratic convention and made an
earnest appeal for sound money and
safe statesmanship just Is-fore Bryan
made the speech that stampeded the
convention. He like Bryan was a
you ig man, but of different fiber as
this extract, which may almost la
said to Ik his dying words, will wit
ness: "I have heard from the lips
of some of the old leaders of our
party, at w hose feet we younger men
have loved to learn the principles of
our faith, that this new doctrine was
i he bright dawn of a better day. 1
would to Uod that I could lielieve it.
I have heard that demm-racy was
Is'ing tusj to a star the falling star

gia-s out in the darkness of the night.
No, my friends, we see not the dawn
hut the darkness of defeat and des
pair, oh, that from this majority

cession and conciliation. Oh, that
from you there might lie held out
i lie olive branch of s-ace, under
which all democrats united could
rally to a great victor! Mr. Chair
man, I have finished my protest.
Let me, following the example of
the Senator from South Carolina, ut
ler my word of prophesy. When
ibis storm has subsided, when the
dark clouds of passion and prejudice
hnW rolled away, and there comes
after Hie turmoil of this Convention
the solier second though! of demo
crats and of our K'ople, then the pro
tests that we of the minority here
make will he haihsl as the ark of the
covenant, where all democrats, ro
unded, may go lo tight for the old
principles and carry them to triuiu
I bant victory.
The McM inn villi- Transcript re
ports that "things are in a peculiar
liapejust now, and it Is difficult to
tell just where a man stands, and
some of them show Just a grain of
inconsistency, to say the least. For
instance, a man residing in Yamhill
county and who Is a strong advocate
of stiver, has money lying Idle; but
' he say he dosen't propose to loon a
cent of it till the money question is
settled. On the other hand gold
linen ar refusing to make loans.
! We might suggest that the silver
; man might take notes to In iid in
! silver, for no one would object to
, paying in that metal." The Tran
.script might add that the free ilver
'agitators who have forced the issue
I are rc-ismsible for this stateof affairs.
WHAT REE COIVWiE l. 1
Coining silver on the basis of lii to
1 means that US weights ot silver
shall lie stamped by the govern
ment as equal iu value to one weight
In gold. The present silver dollar
contains 412 grains of silver, nim
tenths fine, or 871 J grain of pure
metal. The present gold dollar con
tains grains, uine-tetiths tine, or
2-1.2:.' grains of pure metal. By di
viding by 23.B or 3711 by 23.22,
the result will be found to be 1-VJ83,
which mean that the cilver dollar
is that many time heavier than the
gold dollar or 1U times for abort.
Now, anybody with any considerable
quantity of gold is privileed to take it
to the mint and have it stamped Into
3, floor 20 at the rate or 23.22
grains of pure metal to the dollar,
paying therefor onljrrtw isist of the
alloy and of refining when necessary
and these pieces are then a legal ten
der for all debts to the amount
stamped on them.
Prior to 1873 silver also fcaJ thlji
privilege; and anybody having 371)
grains of the pure metal stood at the
mints on the same fooling as the
holder of 23.22 grains of pure gold.
But In 1673 silver was shut out, aud
since then no silver has been coined
except on government account, and
the dollar coined by the government
could not be obtained by anybody
except by paying for it in Ihe equiva
lent ot a gold dollar. What the sil
ver men now demand is that the
old legal conditions prevailing prior
to 1873 shall Iw restored; but as sil
ver has since fallen greatly iu price
aa measured by gold so that III
weights of it are no longer worth
anything linke one weight of gold
the actual market ratio now lielng
about 31 to 1 the proawition is
manifestly resisted by those who do
not believe the opening of the mints
to silver could restore its old value,
and who do la-litve that debts should
lie paid in a dollar as good as that
given.
Now we shall be in a jsisltion to
Judge somewhat of the effects of
opening the mints to silver at IU to 1
Tho sliver contained iu the present
dollar aud that to bo coined is worth
now about 52 cents In gold, and any
tasty having 371 J grains of silver
could then have it coined in;o a
st am tied dollar which would Is a
lege) tender for all payments where
the dollar was not specified.
Everybody having payments to
make would on the opening of the
mints, make a rush for silver, M
cents' worth of which jyould suffice
at the outset to settle up an obliga
tion of 11. If this should have no
effect on the price of silver, then it
would be true that debts would lie
settled at o2 cents on the dollar, or
legally repudiated to the extent
of nearly 50 ier cent. But tho de
mand for silver would manifestly be
so great as to lift its price materially
and tho tiansfer of this pressure
would also tend to reduce the value
of gold in relation to commodities,
as well as increase the value of silver.
Hence the silver in a dollar would
probably rise in gold value from 62
cents ixHsibly to a higher figure, but
hardly to $1 in gold, as the silver
men claim. Scarcely any student of
the question honestly ls-lieves that to
lie iossihle. Hold Would consequent
ly go out of circulation, uid tie ((not
ed at a premium. The ultimate ef
fects of the step to free coinage would
manifest themselves entirely in a
great advance in the prices of com
modities. The creditor would lie
given legal tender for his claim to 11,
but the dollar would not huy nearly
as much as the dollar he lent under
the gold standard.
Thus the dishonesty of the proposi
tion becomes as manifest as If under
a gold standard the creditor should
be given, say 75 cents in payment of
a claim of Springfield ltcpuhli
It I. A Ml Al THE CRIME E 1h73.
A correspondent asks the filolsv
Ivmocrat how Bland voted on the
"crime of 1S73." Mr. Bland was not
in Congress: at the time the
"crime" was committed, which was
a lucky thing for him for he probab
ly would have voted for it if he had
heen. The demonetization law was
passed by the Congress which ex
pired on March 4, 1H73, w hile Bland's
service did not begin until the Con
gress which came into being that day
but which ilid net meet until iM-cm-her
ot that year.
Many men who have been how ling
against the crime" in rs.ent years
talked and voted for it. Nevada
Stewart, the most vaclferous and per
sistant of these howlers, did this.
Bland very likely would have done
so if he had been In Ctngress. Nei
ther Stewart nor Bland ever had
an American silver dollar in hi hand
until long after the "crime of ls73''
was perpetrated, or until H78, when
sliver wai remoneti.ed under the
Bland-Allison act. Ouly h,imh),(Mo
silver dollar piece were coined from
the date of the establishment of the
U. S Mint in I7S2 down to 173, and
a little less than l,.Vm,0o0 were coined
for circulation in this country, the
rst la-ing coined for exportation.
Some of the men who voted for the
"crime" and who have dcnouneid
it since, say ihey did not know But
the act dropped silver from the
coinage. This may be true in their
case, for very few rons knew or
cansl anything about the silver.
Outside Ihe coin collectors' storks It
was non-ex istant nt that lime, and
conscqiienily was not an Issue. It
was worth 3c more on the dollar
as bullion than it was aa coin, and
consequently It shunned the mint.
Nolssly discovered that a "crime'
.mil .in
had been committed In 1373, by
dropping the silver dollar off the lUt
of current coins until aeveral years
later when silver had dropied far
below par and the miners saw a
chance to make moii -y out of the
(iovernment by taking 9iV- worth
of It lo the mint ami having it stamp
ed unc. As we have said, Bland
would probably have voted for the
"crime" had he been in congress
wheu It was perjH-tratisI, but see
what a difference this would have
made in hi political fortune to-day.

Bryan's later sja-c.-hea are disap
pointing. Bryan's oratory recalls 1 (Israeli's
allusion to one of his contemporaries
as "a sophistical rhetorician inebri
ated with an exuberance of his own
verbosity."
Wheu Bryan was in congress, he
voted against the protection of the
beet-sugar industry, aud thus made
It --certain that lie will hot carry
Nebraska this year.
Idaho republicans headed by Sen
ator Shoup issue a manifest or pledg
ing support to McKiuley and Hobart
and asking all electors to Jolu them
notwithstanding they may favor un
limited silver coinage.
A Cincin until Importer wants to
know how can lie afford to remain In

will compel him to pay double for
the gissls it is necessary for him to
handle. Well, he can't afford it.
The tendency toward panic, caused
by the action of the Chicago Conven
lion, has happily been corrected to
some extent by the general repudia
tion of the platform aud ticket by Ihe
majority of influential Democratic
journals and leaders.
The protest against the Chicago
platform coming from the Southern
democrats is far more vigorous and
general than was anticipated. There
will be no solid south this year,
though all the Bryan arithmeticians
are claiming it is certain.
Austria will increase the export
bounty on sugar in order to com

last year amounting to 1,773,000

The IndianaMjlis Journal com
menting on the sentence "An honest
dollar, worth lot) cculs everywhere
cannot la coined out of 03 cents
worth of silver, plus a legislative
Hat," uttered by U. A. Hobart re
publican candidate for vice-president,
says it gM-s to the heart of the
question.
The platform adopted at Chicago
says Gen. Sickles, "is one that make
me choosu between my party and
my country, as I did in 1801, and no
party has a right to claim what be
longs to ono's country." There are
thousands of loyal democrats who
take the same view of the situation,
and whose votes will lie cast for Ihe
protection of the national honor.
Tho best speech in the Chicago
Convention was the one delivered by
Senator Hill against the majority re
port of the Committee on Itesolutiou.
It presented in a practical and forci
ble way the reasons why no good
citizen can endorse the pall form on
which Bryan and Sewall are stand
ing, and it ought to be plentifully
circulated as a llepublleaii campaign
document.
A leather inechant of liCeils, Kug
who has Is-en traveling extensively
in this country, writes to his home
paier that the American working
class are suieiior in every way lo the
working eople of Kugland or of any
part of Europe, superior in dress and
living, and Tuore intelligent. This
lact Is so apparent that it is strange
It should ever la- disputed.
The Bosehurg Its view rejoices and
say that the Chicago platform did
one good thing when it drove ,lohn
I'. Irish of California, to the opawi
tioti. The IxDEl-K.HDfcNr confesses
that It has a different sensation when
it hears of voter leaving the republi

never was when it frit that it could
spare votes. However the It-view
is likely to have many r-J ildng

Ash dramatic event the opulist

than iMni iersous occupied seats in the

by the democratic convention at Chi

meut aud the speaker prominent in
the Convention make use of the
following language;
"It U Instructive to compare the
tierce raving of Tillman, the violent
counsel of Altgeld, the flamboyant
rhodonioutade of Blackburn, the
rhetorical platitude of Daniel and
the windy assertion ol Bryan with
the calm, courteous, incisive logic of
Hill, to show the difference between
men who are superficial and a man
who I Informed; between politicians
who are pure demagogue and one
who haa the stature of a statesman;
between crank whose m -digested

which would sweep away the founda

politicians, but simply freonled fan
aties, and the platform they have
constructed is a tissue of I'opullstic
and Anarchistic notion. Fortunate
ly Amercian civilheation la so far
advanced that it will permit no tri
umph of anarchy over settled order,
nor hand the Government over to
the control of rascals lor the benefit
of tramps. There shouhi, however,
la a union of all the conservative
fonts of the people, an earnest co
oiM-ration of good cltisens of all the
parties to give this Impudent aaser
tiou of anarchy and tyranny a rebuke
which shall silence it for at least
another century.' "
Bryan says that money may be
made too good, but the republican
party holds that the best possible
money is none loo good for the
Americau laborer.
Bryau haa served two terms In
congress and Hewall two terms as
Alderman of his native eity. Tne
political experience of the two men
matches their other qualifications.

boat known in this oouutry perhaps
aa Lever's biographer, but he was
also thn author of many interesting
historical works, dealing for the
most part with the mysteries which
shrouded the expenditure of Pitt's
secret service money ami with the
true obaranter of the shadowy fig
ures moving behind the scenes dur
ing the rebellion of 1W8 and the act
of union that followed it
'Time travels slcwly ever in Ire
land. The peasantry still talk of the
stirring events of that memorable
year In a manuer that makes it diffl-
oult for a stranger to realise that
nearly a hundred yeara have elapsed
since tbey took place. In ssveral of
Mr. Fit.patrlck 'a books re fere no Is
made to an officer whose energetio
measures for suppressing sedition
should oertainly claim for bis mem
ory the same respect and admiration
as are awarded to Judge Jeffries and
other gentlemen of the same stamp
When the rebellion first broke out,
the militia regiment of a oertain
oounty adjoining Dublin could boast
the services of an offloer of the name
of Hepenstall who soon baoams
known throughout the length aud
breadth of Ireland aa the "Walking
Gallows." This notorious officer,
originally an apothecary, was a Go
liath in stature and a Nero at bsart
If after dark, while patrolling the
country with bis men, he met a peas
ant who could not satisfactorily ac
count for himself, Hepenstall 's mode
of prooedure was first to knoek him
down with a blow from bis fist,
which was quite a effective aa a
sledge bammer, and then, ordering
one of the drummers to take off a
oord from bis dram, . to adjust a
noose around the prisoner's neok,
draw the rope over bis own atbletio
shoulders and trot about, the vic
tim 'a leg dangling in the air until
death at last put an end to the tor
ture. These details almost Inorsdinla
at the present day were admitted
by the gallant officer himself whaa
undergoing cross examination at the
trial of a rebel named Hylasal. coun
sel for the defense exolaiming at the
close of this remarkable evidenos,
"Then, sir, you acted the execution
er and played the gallows!"
"Yes, please your honor," oame
the unabashed reply.
Such was the barbarous severity
of the time that Lord Norbury, the
presiding judge, warmly compli
mented the witness on bis loyalty
and assured him that be bad heen

ural to a sealous, loyal and effiuient
offloer. Prefixed to that rare and
extremely seditious periodical The
Irish Magazine for 110 is a picture
of Hepenstall, in hi capacity of exe
cutioner, slowly strangling an un
fortunate wretch, who is dangling
behind his gigantic back. His fea
