But destroy our farms and the grass will grow in every city of the Union." From Wm. J. Bryan's speech before Demo cratic National Convention. 'I am for McKinley, Russell and Gold," says Oscar J- Spears, one of the Republican candidates for Elector-at-Large. Cockran on Slaveholders. Will you submit to this conspiracy between the professional farmers, the farmers who cultivate-' the quar rels of their neighbhrs, farmers who labor with their jaws, Popuustagi- tators of the Wes and the unre conciled slave-holders of the South ? This is a conspiracy between pro fessional tarmers, who want to pay low wages, and the unreconciled slave-holders, who would like to pay no wages at all. - (Extract irom tbe speech of Bourke Cockran, de livered in New York August loth.) MORE DECEPTIVE PLEADING. Yesterday we made an extract fromxMr. McKinley's letter of ac ceptence, with such comment as it suggested? In the conclusion of that extract he says : If the free and unlimited coinage Of silver at a ratio of sixteen ounces Of silver to lone ouaceof gold would, as some of its advocates assert, make 53 cents in silver worth 100 cents, and the silver dollar equal to tbe gold dollar, then we would have no cheaper money than now, and it would be no easier to get. This is a virtual admission that silver, which he says would be de preciated in value, will be "easier to get," and if so there will be more of it in circulation than there is now, notwithstanding that, according to the gold men, the people do not want it, and will not have it, and it can't, therefore, be kept in circula tion, although every dollar of it is worth 100 cents, and it is at a parity with gold. Ac cording to that kind of rea soning ' the depreciated silver will be in more demand than the silver of full value; measured by gold. Bat let us apply Mr. McKinley's remark to gold. He will not admit that the free coinage of gold would depre ciate that, bat if the gold dollars were multiplied and we had three or four times as many gold dollars in circulation, (not locked up in "bank vaults as now, but in actual circula tion, as silver would be under free coinage,) will ' Mr. McKinley assert that it wouldn't be "easier to get" than it is now ? Admitting that they would hold their present value, with the number multiplied wouldn't they seek investment in prop erty,X enterprises, and industries thus go more freely into circu - lation and be "easier to get?" And so will the multiplied silver dollars, retaining their full value as money, seek investment in various ways and thus be easier to get isn t it non sense to assert that money isn't easier to sret when it is abundant than when it is scarce and that it isn't easier to get a dollar when there are many dollars in circulation than when there are few? Mr. McKinley knew better when he was writing that gauzy stuff. Much of his reasoning, likeimuch of the reasoning of other golij men, is based on asssumption pure and - simple. He assumes that we can't do some "things and therefore we should not attempt them. He says: Bimetallism cannot be secured by in dependent action on our part. It cannot be obtained by opening our mints to the unlimited coinage of the silver of the world, at a ratio of sixteen ounces of sil ver' to one ounce of gold, when the com mercial ratio is more than thirty ounces of silver to one ounce of gold. Mexico and China have tried the experiment. Mexico has free coinage of silver and gold at a ratio slightly in excess of six teen and a half ' ounces of silver to one once of gold, and while her mints are freely open in both metals at that ratio, . not a single dollar in gold bullion is coined and circnlated as money. Gold has been driven out of circula tion in these countries and they are on a silver basis aloni. Until international agreement is bad. it is the plain duty of the United States to maintain the gold standard. It is the recognized ana soie standard of the great commercial na tions of the world, with which we trade mjre largely lhan any other, fcignty four per cent, of our foreign trade for the fiscal year 1885 wai with ifold standard countries and our trade with other coun tries was settled on a gold bss s. How does he know that we can not secure bimetallism py muepcu dent action ? Does it follow because China or Mexico couldn't do it, we couldn't ? Doesn't everybody know that as far as China is concerned she is under the financial influence of England, and doesn't everybody know that China has to buy both the gold and silver she coins, having no gold or silver mines of her own ? To talk about free coinage and the fail ure to maintain bimetallism in China where England Insisted on pay in I gold for everything she sold her, I and thus drained her gold, reads like a f arret. An illustration from one of the Fiji islands would be quite as pertinent. For the same reason, to a great extent, Mexico was drained oi ner . - r i gold, to pay interest on debts due abroad, and for imports from gold standard countries: but Mexico has no exports worth speaking of, and hence no way to bring back the gold paid out. But she does not care about that nor suffer from it for she is doing well .and making great progress with silver, which answers all her purposes save meeting obli gations contracted with gold stand ard countries. I But does it follow that because China and Mexico couldn't maintain bimetallism this country, with her immense wealth, her unbounded re sources, her $800,000,000 of exports and her 70,000,000 of the most ener getic and enterprising people in the world, couldn't do it? In 1878 it was predicted that the coinage of $a,uoy,uuu oi suver a month would prove more than than the country could carry, but accord ing to Mr. McKinley since then we have put in circulation more than $624,006,000 of silver or its repre sentative, and every dollar of it is oh parity with gold. But then it was asserted that the amount of coinage DroDosed would bring wreck and 1U1U A3 iuc lugvibauib v.uujuuuuv. and the predictions were made with quite as much emphasis as those pre dictions of disaster' are now. We believe, and we feel sure that Mr, McKialey believes, if he dared be candid, that this country is better able to maintain bimetallism, or a financial system of her own than China or Mexico, and quite as able as Great Britain, with only half her population and $13,000,000,000 less of national wealth Mr. McKinley virtually claims that the country is indebted to the friend ship of the Republican party and to the Republican policy for these $624,000,000 of silver coin or its representative, when the fact is that we have it in spite of the efforts of the Republican statesmen to defeat the bill for the coinage of silver in 1878, when we would have had free coinage if it had not been for Re publican opposition. To get the consent of the Republican Senate for the coinage of silver it had to yield free coinage and accept limited coinage as provided in the Bland Allison act. This the Republicans repealed the first good chance they got, and yet they have the cheek to claim credit for the silver that was coined under it. The Republican party is a party of false pretence and in tbe role of its champion and advocate Mr. McKtn ley acquits himself with zeal, inten sified by the personal interest he has at stake. SNUBBING THEIR ALLIES. The engineers of. the so-called Democratic "sound money" move ment who were soliciting the Mc Kinley campaign managers to sing low on the tariff so that they might have an excuse for voting for Mc Kinley are doubtless sorely disap pointed at the cavalier way in which their overtures have been met and they themselves snubbed. Their overtures have not only been con temptuously ignored, but they have in some instances been insultingly sat upon. It may be their own fault that they have put themselves in a position to be thus rebuffed and per haps they have no right to complain, but the New Yoik Sun doubtless voices their sentiments when it pro tests against Democrats who thought of taking the advice of the Sun and voting for McKinley being insulted as they were by the Republican can didate for 'Governor of New York when in his speech in the State con vention he said: A man who for the past ten years has voted the Democratic ticket in the State of New York is beyond prayers. If he votes with the Republicans this fall it is not because he has become better, but because he has become alarmed. If he labors for the success of the Republican party now it is because he fears the sue cess of his own. , l ne esteemed bun, which now shines for Haana and McKinley, thinks this is rough, and it is rough. Candidate Black evidently doesn't set a very high value on the services that the Sun is rendering the Republican party. In his speech in New York, Thurs day night, ex-President Harrison was not quite as blunt or rude as Candidate Black, but he was not less pointed when he said, as we find the speech reported in the Philadelphia Ledger: I never bad so much respect for so many Democrats as I have now. Tha t partv has exhibited its capacity to. rup ture, aud a party that can't be split is a public menace, A bait now ana men is a reassuring incident, and newer more reassuring than now. He touched the nartv soirtt with enthusiasm when he said that the Sound Money Democrats must not expect me Kcpuuubaus vj m aside any of the great policies it advo cates, and must not expect that tne Re publican oarty shall be reorganized be cause the Democratic pariv oas uecu disorganized. The epigrammatic force nf this sentence caDtured the crowd, and a man in the srallerv shouted: "Isn't that a beaut?" These extracts taken in connec- tion with Mr. McKiniey s malting - . a 1 the tariff issue the leading issue in the campaign, in his letter of accept ance, should give the, McKinley as sistant Democrats a realizing sense nf the restoration in which they are held by the- Hannaites. MIBOK MENTION. , Oar impression is that since the popular ovations to Mr. Bryan on his journey homeward through New York, Gen. McAlpine, who wears $36 trousers, will have to revise his 200,000 majority for McKinley, and that Hon. W. C. Whitney, who is en gineering the Indianapolis Conven tion, will revise his 100,000 majority for the gentleman from Canton. These creetines. as well as the en- enthusiastic receptions to Mr. Bryan on his coming Eastward, have doubtless dispelled the delusion about the insignificant proportions of the free silver sentiment in the East, As a further evidence confirmatory of the feeliDg in New York, Mr. Christian, of the Raleigh News and Observer, who was in Greensboro to report the proceedings of Mr. Louis De La Croix's convention, refers to a conversation he bad with a gentle man of that city who had recently received a letter from Mr.. T. B Keogh, one of the most prominent Republicans ot this State, a gold man and a supporter of McKinley, dated Albion, N. Y., in which Mr. Keogh said that ."after travelling much through the country region of that State, he had to admit most of the farmers and working men, whether Democrats or Republicans, were for free silver." This was a private letter, and doubtless not in tended for publicity, but Mr. Keogh is too old and too cute a politician to admit it. even privately, if it was not so. ' Hon. Jeter Pritchard, who tempo rarily holds the position of United States Senator from this State, in pursuance ot a combine with the Populist managers, has not achieved as vet dazzling distinction as a statesman, but be poses as a states man and is now travelling over the State as a teacher of the people, tel ling them the way they should go. Senator Pritchard presumably had studied the money question when be assured the people of this State that he was for free silver, but he has since shown a wonderful capacity to unlearn in a short time, when there is special reason to unlearn it, what took him considerable time to learn In bis JNewbern speech he said, as quoted in the Star yesterday : "I went into the Repuolicin National Convention, and after carefully studying the situation 1 became convinced that free silver will not give the country prosperity. He "carefully studied the situa tion after he got into tbe National Convention, and got the assistance of the gold men who did congregate there in force, to open his eyes, and he immediately saw the error of his ways, fell in under the gold stand ard, and went back on the men who helped elect him to the Senate on the solemn assurance that he was for free silver. The question arises here, how much confidence can be placed in a man as a financial guide of the people ho thus suddenly changes his views when brought into contact with the subtle influences that were exerted at St. Louis and made so many converts there, Hon. Jeter Pritchard among them? CURRENT COMMENT. It is beginning to look as if Candidate McKinley might have to carry some of the mistakes of the Cleveland1 administration. This is another curious feature of the cam paign. Washington Post, Ind. Those who characterize Mr. Bryan's "invasion of New York State as a miserable failure are counting decidedly without their host. Con sidering the conditions, the candi date's reception and the impression which he created are remarkable and signincant.-ivVri? Landnark gold) uem.
