Secretary Carlisle was recently in viewed at Marion, Mass. a Sam- . 0er resort where he has been spend tog a few weeks, by a correspondent jf the Cincinnati Enquirer, and if he is correctly reported it was a very re ntable interview, remarkable for us frankness and the blunt declara tion of the purposes of those for. f,wai Mr. Carlisle speaks. He! went further in this interview than he did jj any of his recent speeches, and pointedly said that the object that he aod they who acted with him" had Jin ttwand intended to carry outif Aey could, was to plant the Demo cratic party, not on a bimetallic bat op a gold basis. ' --r: zi First asked if he would consent to become a candidate for the, Senate ftonnKentncky, he replied that he tas not a candidate and bad node sire to return to Congress, bat when farther asked what he would do in the event his name, were entered in the lists and he were elected, he an stered that that was another mat ter; the question might then come before him as one of doty, in which event he might regard it his dnty to tccept, but when it came in that shape it would be time enough to consider it and decide. r:IJe ' took nighty good care not to say "no" ii the face of a contingency which night possibly occur, . and one which, with all due respect to Mr. Carlisle, we do not believe he would be averse to seeing. He Is an hon est man and one who has the'eour ige of his convictions, but he is not proof against ambition nor indiffer ent to the tribute which sucfafa se lection would be to his leadership and to his personal popularity. There are several distinguished lames mentioned in that connec tion, and the present . in-, atnbent,' Joe Blackburn,-; whose seat is the prize contended for is one had of the most popular, if not the most popular man in Kentucky. He is j Botthe peer of Mr. Carlisle in intel- i lect and-ability, but before the asses, on the hustings, he is more "an his peer, and it would -be an tonorof which Mr. Carlisle mlrrbt Kll be proud, if in a straight stand, P contest he could unseat Black -imn- and become his successor This ay or may not be Carlisle's ambi- , but if it be it would be a very pardonable one. But this Is a mat te that interests Mr. Carlisle and k people of Kentucky more thart-it the people of the country- at large. . There are other features of the in Wew in which the people, bat es Paially Democrats are much more tested, for they foreshadow the Purposes of the so-called "sound oney" leaders and rive ..: us - a tSse of the Droorramme which have drawn uo.

National Democratic Convention, but just, how' this is to be accomplished he.didn't say,"a"nd leaves that to be surTnised. ' ; - ' . ; , There; is only one way by - which ithe choosing rt a considerable num ber of silver men to that "convention ca be- prevented " (unlesrthe r whole question should- be relegated ' by something now unforeseen) and, that ; would be discreditable' to Mr. Car lisle and the Administration of which he is both a distinguished v. and hon ored member, and it would preclude the : belief that "offensive . partisan ship" is still ottensive,'or that public office is still - strictly regarded in Washington as "a public trust," but might at least give color to the &us-. picion that both of these had passed into f innocuous disuetude." ... - Bat they are not going tot content themselves with that for in . reply to the question as to what kind of a platform on the money question the next national; Democratic .conven tion would adopt, he said: t shall favor a straightout. simple and clear declaration in favor of holding the country on the gold basis, with silver at a parity m use, where we have got it now,: One silver leader asked me daw lag the recent Campaign in Kentucky why I didn't go the whole ' figure and come out for gold exclusively. 'Well,' said I. as we have got that pile of silver on hand, it Is common tense to sse it, or as much of it as the people will have.' I This means ; gold monometallism,' pure and simple,1 and the coinage " of no more silver, for MrV Carlisle has told as that a double standard is one of the self contradictory absurdities that he can't comprehend, t and he herein says that they will try to use the" silver they have on" hand, as much of it as .the people -will havef hereby intimating; that they already: have more ; on hand, than they can use, or than the people will havef 7 It lsjerf ectly safe to "say that un der this programme there would be no more silver coined on any condi tions, and that it would continue to be discriminated against, as it has been .and is now, i discriminated against as one of the ways of keep ing np the parity. If this be the pro gramme , carried out, andthe next Democratic " Convention be run on these lines, it . will : hardly be " worth While going through the formality of nominating a Presidential ticket, for it will not be "in it" when the votes are counted. " - 1XTJZ02 HESTIOBV Some of the gold organs and gold vocates, on the Democratic side, have very short memories, and run the risk of making themselves ridic ulous by the line : of argument they pursue ty make it appear , that the gold Standard is the right and the only thing tor this . country. Noting ; the - - advance 1"txx wages, and the improvement in the prices of somejoF staple farm products they declare that this is prima tacie evi dence that the country. Is prospering under the present monetary system and that it would not only be folly. bat disastrous to change it, that we are getting along so well on the gold basis that there is no need for silver This is simply a .reproduction of the argument r of the high - tariffites against any change in .tne tana They pointed to ;the increase i n tne number of manufactories,' how " they were prospering to rlhe number of workmen, how: they -were prospering and how j their wages had increased under protection, C and asked how any sane man could wish to interfere with: that beneficent system. That was the Republican : high tariff , so- called, argument, and to this Demo cratic tariff ' reformers replied that however true all this might be, this alleged prosperity was not the result of the , protective tariff;- bat in; spite of it, anTTsome of the gold standard advocates who are now using this Republican high tariff argument to support their gold, contention were among those who made this reply. Since then we have had tariff reform and have already:, had experience enouirhto demonstrate how little there was in that high tariff arga inent. ; The business of the country is picking up, not, as they say, as a result-of the good monetary system and the confidence, it inspires, but in spite , of it, and as a result of thi tariflF reduction acrainst which - the bigh tariffites protested .. - " It Is known that suzar. cane has has been successfully and profitably cultivated in the Disston reclaimed swamp lands In Florida, but it is not generally known that the soil of the State, X including even the i sandy lands, are well , adapted to the grow- ine of cane.' superior, it is said to the cane of Lonisiana.

But they do not seem . to be. aereed as to what bimetallism really is. TheChl- cago Record qaotes from a book re. cently published by Mr. Mahleman, deputy; Assistant Treasurer Tot- the United States, which defines it thus: By . bimetallism.1 'strictly defined. 'is meant the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver into coins of fall pebt-paying power. Not the mere use of the double standard, bnt the actually open mints on the terms given above. No country in the world is, therefore, bi metallic to-day, sinceuthose "conditions lo not exist anywhere.". ' ;;..;, -r According to this definition bi metallism means' free sliver coinage. The director of the mint ; does -not agree with Mr. Mahleman, for he places in his list of bimetallic coun tries the TJnited States, France, Bel giam, Roamanla,' the Netherlands, Turkey, Japan and ; Cuba. ' HenTwe have two high Government officials differing: in : opinion - on a subject which everybody is discossing, and which; the average intelligent man supposed he understood. 1; The gen-. era! acceptation of bimetallism is that it exists when both gold and silver coin - circulate concurrently at a fixed . ratio, without any : dis crimination against either. Before 1873 nobody ever asked - what bi metallism meant, for np to that time gold and silver moved on the same plane and there was no discrimina tion against either.
