We must not now prove false to our own high standards in gov ernment, nor unmindful of tho noble example and wiso precepts of our fathers or of tho confidence and trust which our conduct in the past has always inspired. THE FINANCIAL QUESTION. For the first timo since 18fS, if ever before, there is presented to the American people this year a clear and dirc.'t issue as to our monetary pystem, of vast importance in its ef fects, and upon the right settlement of which rests largely the financial honor and prosperity of tho country It is proposed by one wintr of the lars now in use were coine 1 nn ac count f li yi(v rnment and not Tor; has been the private account .r pain, and the government Las pokmnly sgieed to keeptbem : good as the Lett dollars we have. The government bought the silver bullion at its market value and coined it into pilvir dollar. Having exei'uivo control of the mintage, it riy coins what i, cau hold at a pur.ty with trold. The profit, re pr sectiL. the dlTercmr.e be tween th corumt reial value of t!u: silver bullion t-.wl the IV-n value of the silver dollar, goes to tho govern ment for tho benelit of t!:e people. Tho gv rmiicnt bought the silver bullion contained in the sliver dol lar at very much Jen than its coin- agrt value. It p;id it out to its crcli-' tora and put it in tircuia!it!i nmorr tho ptopto at its face raltie of ofosie! hundrtd cents or a full dollar.

The government having is sued and circulated the silver dollar, it must honor and protect the holder from h5M. This obligation it has so far sacredly kept. Not only is there a moral obligation, but there is a egal obligation expressed in public statute, to maintain the parity. A I'KOPJtF.T OF EVJL.

The special committee of Charleston Cotton Exchange pointed to be present at the made with the wire bound bale of cotton sent to this city by the State Alliance Exchange, have made their repoit. The board ef the exchange met and adopted the following reso lution regarding the binding of cot ton with wire. "Resolved, That the bale received was tested and stood the strain of compressinc; that so tar as tne ex porting of tne cotton bound with these wires are concerned, this ex change cannot pass an official opin ion in the absence of a majority from the city, but as far as we can see at present, we think the cotton baled in this way will be received by the exporters, provided the cotton is un compressed and is wired as the sam ple bale sent us tor inspection." COL. DUNCAN DESCRIBES THE COM PRESSING OF THE BALE. It is beginning to look as if the farmers of the State are going to be winners in their fight against the steel cotton tie trust, which was in augurated by the State Alliance. Certain it is that they are all hold ing back and are not yet purchasing ties. Col. D. P. Duncan, the manager of the Farmers' Alliance Exchange was seen at the Alliance Exchange asked about his trip to Charleston in tne m- Tbese 3o wire will weich 41 rxabd and wui cost u to NJ rnt tr baa- die. This i aeaicst 30 flat iron tin in a bundle weighing 45 pounds and costing now $1.4o per bundle. Tbee 30 ties are used to pack fire bales of cotton. This Is the information I hare to-day and 1 think in a few days I will havr the arrangements completed to furnish these ties in any quantities." THE RESULT OF COL. LCNCAXV TRIP. Col. D. P. Duncan, manager of the State Allianee Exchange, has return ed from New York. He was emin ently successful in his mission. which was to secure a sufficient sup ply of wire ties to enable the South ern farmers to defeat the Cotton Tie Trust.

Dancan remarked: "As the public is aware, I was ap pointed by the btate Alliance meet ing held in this city on the 22nd of July to look into the matter of some substitute for the flat iron cotton tie, the price of which has been advanc ed 100 per cent, by what is called the cotton tie trust. My idea was to use a wire and 1 made the sugges tion to the State Alliance. As soon as the first bale of new cotton arriv- sd in Columbia, I purchased it and had the flat iron ties replaced by No. 10 galvanized steel wire. I found out by my trip to Charleston that I had used too small a wire, althoueh up to this time it had held the bale all right. "I had the bale shipped to Charles ton to Messrs. Sloan & Sons with in structions to have it compressed and put to any and all t6sts that the ex porters desired to make. Monday handling. "The factory is now at work on a carload and will be ready to ship in a few days. I hope to have a car load here next week.

The owner of the silver bullion would get the silver dollar. It would belong to him and nobody else. Other peoplo would get it only by their labor, tho products of their laDds or something of value. The bullion owner on the basis of pres ent values would receive the silver dollar for fifty-three cents' worth of silver, and other people would be re u aired to receive it as a full dollar m the payment of debts. The gov eminent would get nothing from the transaction. It would bear the ex pense of coining the silver and the community would suffer loss by its use. We have coined since toio more than four hundred millions of sil ver dollars which are maintained by the government at a parity with gold, and aro a full legal tender for the payment of all debts, private and limited in its privileges oi coinage as gold is to-day. But that we have not been able to secure, and witn tho free and unlimited coinage of silver adopted in the United States at the present ratio, we would be s'ill further removed from any in- 'ei'uationr.l agreement. We may never bo ab'e to secure it if we enter upon the isolated coinage of silver. Tho double standard implies equal ity at a ratio, f.nd that equality can only be established by the concur rent law of nations. It was the con current law of nations that made the double standard; it will require the concurrent law ot nations to rein state and sustain it." The Kepubiican party has not been, and is not now, opposed to the nse of silver money, as its record abundantly shows. It has done al that could be done for its increased nse from other gevernments.

The message of President Cleveland addressed to the Fifty-third Congress, calling atten tion to the existence of an alarming and extraordinary business situation is then quoted, and continuing, Maj. McKinley says : What a startling and(suddcn change within the short period of eight months, from December, to Au gust, 1S93. What has occurred? A change of administration : all branches of the government had been entrusted to the Democratic party, which was committed against the protective pol icy that had prevailed uninterruptedly for more than thirty-two years, and brought unexampled prosperity to the Continued on Fourth Page. torn in handling than cut by the tha.t if the Sun wanted Bryan roast- patriotism there is never any danger wire, ana tnis was tne opinion ex-i eu auomer umu wouiu. uoid t w i oi a mistaae doidk ueu. mu pressed to me by the superintendent sent to do it.
