TUESDAY. JULY 2, 1900. THE ASIIEV1LLE DAILY CITfZEN 7 CONFESS THAT PARTY PLAYED BUNCO GAME Extraordinary Plea for Re election of McKinley. DEMOCRATS MAY WELL PERMIT GAGE TO PROGNOSTI CATE EVILS. , Washington, July 23. Some of the Republican papers and orators are putting forth a most extraordinary p'.ea for the re-election of McKinley and the defeat of Bryan. They confess frankly that their rarty played a bunco game on the country when it professed to nasa a law establishing the gold standard, and assert that the act Is so worded that a silver secretary of the treasury could pay the interest and principal of all the bonds of the United States in silver instead of gold. For Instance', one New York paper says: The bill passed by the house of repre sentatives for -the establishment of the gold standard distinctly declared the interest and principal of all outstand ing bonds payable in gold. The senate, under the lead of Mr. Allison, "whose name Is associated with that of Mr. Bland in the history of silver coinage, rejected this provision. It was the last chance for fettering the discretion of a Democratic secretary of the treasury Does any one doubt that the freedom thus secured to such a secretary by Republican votes would be used by him if the opportunity were afforded?' If this contention is correct, then the law establishing the gold standard and placing the country upon a gold basis is a delusion and a fraud, and the Re publican party should for that con duct alone be repudiated by the peo ple. If the law does not restrain a secretary of the treasury from paying off the public debt in silver, then the law is of no value, for it was intended to provide against Just such a contin gency. If the malntainance of the gold standard depends upon the will of the secretary of the treasury, then the law is valueless, because a gold secretary, such as Carlisle or Gage, could main tain, and has maintained, that without the law. As a matter of fact, the ncwspap?rs which are asserting this have probably gone further than they Intended in their longing to dodge the Imperialism Issue. Their contentions have been de nied by Secretary Gage in an interview. In which he says that to have changed the existing bonds from coin to gold would have been a bad precedent whlrh. mlkfht have warranted a silver congress in cliangine them from gold to silver. and for this reason he thinks it was ,vSPt to make in change. The same result was reached by nllnwln the bonds to be converted nt option of the holders Into the two per cent, gold hnnds. All coin bonds can be so con- vrtP,l erent about 1162.000.000 four per cent, ones issued by Mr. Cleveland under a specific understanding that they were not to be considered as gold bonds. A secretary of the treasury might, says Mr. Cage, Indulge in the puerile amusement of paying out silver dollars instead of checks (If he could get the silver, which would be very difficult), but It would make no differ ence as long as the parity was main tained, and this could only be destroyed by direct and Intentional violation of law. While on the subject, the secretary goes furthpr and declares that the fear of those who assert that Mr. Bryan, If elected, would deliberately violate the law he had sworn to observe, are ri diculous. "If Mr. Bryan be elected," he savs. "the gold standard will b resolutely maintained so long as the law remains on the statute book. 1 fear however, that it would be sub jected to a severe strain from his elec tion until the treasury was turned oei to him. The mere fact that he won would look like the reversal of the Judg ment pronounced by the people in 189H and 1SH8 In favor of the gold standard, and would naturally Inspire dlstrusi abroad as well as anxiety at home, and invoke a panic that would proba bly compel the present administration to use to the uttermost the powers con ferred by the new law to maintain the parity of all forms of money until the new ndmlnistratWHi entered office." Democrats may well permit Secre tary Cage to prognosticate all sorts of evils from the election ot Bryan in consideration of his honesty, so rare in pniihiipnn nniitical discussions, in ad mitting that Mr. Bryan would honest'y obey the law until it was repeat. Nevertheless. Republican newspapers and orators will continue to declare that their party's claim In regard to the gold standard is a false pretense, and that the gold basis has not been secured; that the currency law, for which the Republican party Is claim ing credit, is a mere declaration an I of no force or effect unless it is upheld by an administration favorable to the pol icy it declared. In short, contending with the manifest purpose of alarmirg timid souls that the Republican party hns tmnriiPft the neonle. and after all the parade over. the establishment of the gold standard the ,?old standard is not really established by law, but must denend uimn the whim or inclination of the secretary of the treasury. Just as before the law was passed. CHITTENDEN MARRIOTT. AYegetable Prepacationfor As similating ttie Food andQeg da ting the Stomachs artdBowm of Ml t j Promotes DigcslioaCheerFuf ness and Rest.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS, From the Chka?o News. : Spring lamb Is the best kind of . m nls-ineat. A proud woman, like n hunil organ, is full ,,f air. An old Fall.ir says that a shark is a fum of ca lawyer. 'I he moie a man contracts debts the nn ie Ihty seem to Increase. The fne silver orator ought to be ahie to Hpeak without notes. What the average man would like Is a holiday the day after a holiday. A ptrl never looks so killing as when a man accidentally steps on her dress skirt. It doesn't pay to stick your nose Into other people's business unless you are a lawyer. If it weren't for our little trials and tribulations life would soon become monotonous. 1 The clock Is never inclined to boast; on the contrary. It is always running down its own work. Any man who has ever patronised a church fair fully realties the folly, of inventing In lottery ticket!. A western minister Is said to be In sane and imagines he I ft centipede. His hallucination may be due to the - msr-y pphi rf slippers donated by the female portion of his congregation. The General Assembly of North Caro lina do enact: Section I. That chapter 218, public laws of 1899, entitled "An Act to amend the Constitution of North Carolina," be amended so as to make said act read as follows: "That article C of the constitution of North Carolina, be, and the same Is hereby abrogated, and in lieu thereof shall be substituted the following ar ticle of said constitution as an entire and indivisible plan of suffrage."

No person who lias been convicted, or who has confessed his guilt In open court, upon Indictment of any crime, the punishment of which now is, or may hereafter be, Imprisonment In the State's prison, shall be permitted ti vote unless the said person shall b. Ilrst restored to citizenship In th manner prescribed by law. Sec. 3.

Sec. 5. That this amendment to the i-nnstltutlon Is presented and adopted .is one Indivisible plan for the regula tlon of the suffrage, with the Intent and purpose to so connect the differ ent parts, and to make them so de pendent upon each other, that the w hole shall stand or fall together. Sec. 6. All elections by the people shall be by ballot, and all elections by the general assembly shall be viva voce. Sec. 7. Every voter in North Carolina, ixcept as in this article disqualified, shall be eligible to office, but before en tering upon the duties of the office he shall take and subscribe the following oath: "I, , do solemnly swear (or affirm), that I will support and maintain the constitution and laws of the I'nited -tates and the con s.ltution and laws of North Carolina, not inconsistent there with, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of my office as REAL, ESTATF By Weaver cc Alexander Real Estate Broker 26 Palton Aval P.
