Mr. Curtis (oiii. I puts the case very
aptly when he says that the free sil

make you helievo that the cow will

think they can curry the country on
that sort of an uhsurility.
It now looks as If Sewall will Ik-the

An organization of Imsiness men
to promote the election of McKinley
and lloliart Ills lieen formed in Phil
adelphia mid Boston. The move
ment is non-partisan, and h is heen
(darted as an urgent husluess matter.
It would lie hard to overestimate the
amount of husiness there is in de
feating the party of inflation, repu
diation and class hostility.
Senator John M. Thurs on of N'e
hrasku charges P.ryati with lieing the
paid agent of the mine owners of
Montana, employed to preach free
silver coinage lo the people. Mr.
ISryan has not denied the charge,
not withstanding it had hefore heen
made time anil again. Now perhaps
there is nothing wrong in doing such
service for hire, hut there Is wrong
in doing it and then Hisiugs a disin
terested pureist.
"A party can lie Uiiight, the people
cannot." So says Mr. Ilofcr of the
Capital Journal, hut he makes the
mistake that very many others lie
fore have made in supposing the si-
ple and the party tire two things. In
fact the parly is the people, al least a
part of the people, the other party
containing the halance. Hut admit
ting Mr. 1 lufer's assulioii lo lie true,
the populist party isasensily houghi
as the n puhlii an or democratic, for
did nut the Oregon populist legisla
tor sjiy'-l have heen hcM lour we: -Us
unit no one has offered me a cent."
It is true, its McKinley says, that
"repithlican principles are such that
they can he Huhiuitted with safely
and confidence to the intelligence of
the educated men of the country."
That has always Ihtii one of the
party's sources of strength and suc
cess. In other words, it is a party
that has always had logic and v is
doiii on its side, olid that has never
catered to ignorain-e and folly for the
promotion of its interests. The man
who belongs to it is not obliged to
resort to any Kind of sophistry to
justify his position, lie has sound
reasons to irive lor the faith that lie
prodsses, and his vole is cast on the
basis of best facts in Amen inn pol
itics. The state di ction in Alalmm t has
In-en carried by the democrats. The
black lielt again showed up well,
ltut then fraud cannot Is- charged
for there was no reason for using un
usual methods to bring about the re
sult. Tin' returns show that the
democrats had votes enough and
needed no fraudulent ballots. The
republicans fused with the populit
in that stale and got la-Htcn. They
are served riht loo. The populists

These clubs are not to assist in

TOM NTt'll'S SI'KM'H.
At the Arizona republican con
vention to select delegates to the
national convention, Tom Filch, the
original .silver-tongued orator, was
called on for a Hposli. In his re
sponse he gave his reascn for being
a republican. Those reasons appeal
to every man who has ever acknow
ledged allegiance to the Hag of the
party of progress, and they formu
late the thoughts existing in millions
of minds in answer to the question,
Why am I a republican? Mr. Fitch
said:
(ietitlemen fif the convention: I
thought that the seclusion that the
upper gallery grants, ibined with
other circumstances, would exempt
me rrom any invitation to speak be
fore this convention, but your re
pealed calls leave 4iie no alternative

"The speakers who have addressed
you have spoken i if the free coinage
of silver as a cardinal principle of the
republican party. I fear that the St.
Louis convention may compel us lo
retrace sot if our step in this mat
ter, and. as the statesmen who con
trol this convention have not includ
ed me among those deemed most tit
to represent Ariz m l at St. Louis, I
feel quite at liberty to tell the troth.
"I suppose no oae wilt question my
long devotion to the cause of the
free coinage of silver. Years iign at

"Thi morning a Irion I, who i a

I joined Ihe republican ranks, and, too
young to vote, flung my blazing ban

was present a a newspaper reporter
at the Chicago convention in ImIU,
when all Illinois shouted Abraham
Lincoln into the presidency. I
heard the song of John ISrowu'a soul
sung in bated breath and in secret
gatherings of his smpathizi-rs and
four year later on these distai.t
shores, I almost caught Ihe echo of
its refrain when armies chanted it

the eloquence and friendship of lin

In the above, Mr. To.ier, as the
lawyer says, confesses the truth or
Carlisle's live propositions quoted
last week, but tries to avoid the plea
by H-lting up other propositions.;
Can Mr. Tozier U- answered? Let
the attempt be made.
First Is Chii.a ami R issia enj ly
ing unexampled prosperity? And i"
the prosperity said to exist in Mexico
due to free silver? Is it not due to
the in vestment of gie.tt sums nT Tor

extent. Foreigner conn- here, it is

tional debt was paid lad year. Fur
ther the piipiiialion of Australia are
hot i inigra t i iiLr. F.tigland aial France
are as well oil' as they have been in
the la-l hair century or better.
Third Then why does Chilli, U.
S. Columbia and Costa Rica go to a
gold basis.
Fourth It is ib t.ii d thai any gold
standard country has any more mon

necessary and w hen thi rure good
investments t he money w ill circulate.
It Frame or lit rmany or R-i.-sia has
a gold reserve it is kept i,.r a war
measure and liot to bolster credit. It
is h ft for the United Stall s to main
tain a gold horde, made lu-cc.iry by
fear of going to a si Ives basis.
Fifth -There is not a silver coun

there are parlies in some countries,

As n tiual paragraph, attention is
turned lo tin- f ie! w liii h appears
from Mr. Tozier's introduction that
the American Federation of Labor
lias aliondoui d the promotion of in

into a polilie d engine lo further the
schemes of the demagogue.

he has" been a lifelong democrat, lb
is a Southerner by birth and was an
odi-s r in the Confederate army lie
recently said to Un New Yitrk Sun,
'my belief is that McKinley is Hu
man to vote for. The conditions
are such that I cm conceive no al
ternative for sound money democrats
than to sustain the gold platform If
Ihe silver interests succeed on the
Chicago platform for 1 don't call it
a democratic platform il means re
puoiatioii and national dishonor. I
thoroughly believe tint if we show
the world that we are going to con
tinue on a gold standard we shall
have pr isperotis t .nies; but if silver
succeeds we shall have Ihe greatest
uionetarji- convulsion ever known in
this couutiy greater than all the
previous panic put together."
"What are your views on the sub
ject of a third ticket?" asked the re
porter. "In my estimation a sound money
democratic ticket would be unwise.
It would gratify the pride of many
democrats, but it would do no good
and would endanger the sucivss ol'
the gold standard. For my ow n
part I prefer to cast my ballot to as
sure the success of honest money
rather than to fritter away my vote
on a third ticket."
Col . F.vaus said that otlb-ials who
have Just returned from Oregon find
the honest money sentiment very
strong in that state.
A li! lo l-er went to the postollii-e
this week with a money order for
lil'ty dollar-. In thai uncertain falt
ering voice sometimes us"d by a pop
ulist, he whispered, "1 don't want
silver- give me gold." It isjust such
actions that weary sound money
elector-".
The sound money democral are
organizing with a view of nomina
ting a sound money candidate for
president. A convention is soon to
be hebl in Oregon looking lo send
ing deb-gales lo a national convi n
lion. of course n publicans think
t hat the surest way to In at ISryan is
to vote for McKinley, but if di mo
cruts can't see tlu-ir way clear to vole
with republican then let there be a
third man in the rai-e.
What has Iccoine of the (ircih
bai k parly? ask Mr. I '.. I Infer in
hi Capital Journal. He answers,
"It forced the preserva lulu of the
grivnback currency and died." 1 ".ml
Leroy-H -autieil the distinguish d
French political economist shows by
convincing argument that it would
have been better had the greenback
party died before it "forced the pre--ervatmii
of Ihe greenback currency."

' 'Oiitwanlly tho New York under
taker i an almost offensively re.
Kpoctablo person. There is a tradi
tion of tho trado that imposes neat
ness upon tho premises. Undertak
ers nro divided as to tho exact pro
prieties of decoration. M".-t nlTcct
ebony trimmings to their oil i cos, but
a few substituto vvlnto paint for
black with startling effect. Under
takers in New York commoidv' join
with their main business one or moro
of tin -iso or four avocations. Many
keep livery stables, so that the coach
that camo n sable com pan j' to a
cemetery bv (lay whisks oil' a bride
in vvhito silk and orange blossoms
by night. Some unilertakers are also
manufacturer of funeral offerings,
wreath and emblematic devices.
Some show littlo signs which read,
"Finking Done Here." Sonio deal in
cut flower. A few aro in the real
cstato business, and t:io announce
ment " Lodging For Sim:lo Gentle
men" beside a gaping eollin serves
to recall limb pleasantry on this
subject in ono of hi droll letters to
Manning in tho far cast.
Undertakers in New York nro of
nil nations, and it is usual for a for
eign family to employ in tho caso of
death an undertaker of their own
race. There are a few negro under
takers. "Entrepreneur des pom pes
funebre" i tho occasional an
nouncement in tho French quarters,
and each nation has its own eu
phemism for a business regarded
with some popular prejudice.
Tho Now York undertakers, al
though nearly all anxious to sur
round their business with pomp and
dignity, differ greatly in their meth
od. A fovv rise quite above tho dis
play of casket and content them
aulvea with a modest nniioiinconieiit
of their trado. Many have tho privi
lege of placing advertisements on
tho fronts of churches. In such caso
tho undertaker net as sexton at
rather less than current rates, the
advertisement of tho sign en the
church front being an equivalent
for part of tho pay. It is a great card
for tho ordinary undertaker to have,
tho victim of an accident or a mur
dered person or a suieido sent to his
shop. Thi brings tho coroner, an
oftloial investigation, and n freo ad
vertisement in tho newspapers. Such
undertaker like to uso the word
"morgue" n an equivalent for their
place of business, and all aro eager
to see their name and addresses in
tho nowspapcr report of tho coro
ner's inquest. Tho truly swell un
dertaker isauxiou to avoid this sort
of notoriety. It would bo almost
fatal to his famo to have a "sloven
ly, unhandsome corpse" brought in
fo his placo of business after a mur
der or an uecident. He i a grave
and resiioctablo, somiclerical person,
learned in tho etiquette of grief,
skilled in all the decunciua of his
trade, and unparalleled in making
plausible by a nico itemizing tins
lump sum of a large bill. To have
the hope of burial at his hands is al
most a tomptation to suicide. He
doe not riso early to read the death
announcements in the morning
newspaiM-r and get his card to the
home of the afflicted ahead of his
rivals. On the oontrarj-, he can
count with certainty upon his
clients. He regards certain respect
