STONE ANALYZES PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN Concise and Lucid Statement of the Paramount Questions at Issue Bryan Stronger Than in 1896 Predicts Democratic Success. Extracts from an article by ex-Governor Stone of Missouri in the September Forum. Ratio is not necessarily an immutable quantity. It has been changed, and can be changed again, if need be. Republicans say that if we coin silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1, tho silver dollar will bo worth less than tho gold dollar, will have a small er purchasing power, and that, in conse quence, wo shall have two measures of dif ferent values. They say, ulso, that sliver, coined at that ratio, being a cheaper money, would drive gold out of circulation; that it would disturb our exchanges and mako com merce with foreign nations difficult; and that it would bo dishonest to creditors, since It would compel them to take less than had been promised to them. But, whilo the Re publicans mako these special pleas against tho particular ratio mentioned, they are, In fact, opposed to the freo coinage of silver at any ratio. The fundamentaPobjection made to tho ratio of 16 to 1 Is that tho bul lion valuo of the silver dollar would ba only about one-half the bullion value of tho gold dollar: and. therefore, it is said, that tho Intrinsic value of the two dollars would bo so radically different that parity between them coud not be maintained. But If parity between them could be maintained; that is to say, if the gold dollar and the silver dol lar could be made to have the same, or sub stantially tho same, intrinsic valuo and pur chasing power, then they would be Inter changeable, and the evils apprehended from coining both, whether real or imaginary, would disappear. If this parity or equality of value cannot bo maintained at the ratio of 16 to 1, then it certainly can be at some o'thcr ratio. Now, wa Democrats believe in sound money. In parity, in equality in the pur chasing power of dollars, and all that, as much as anybody believes in them. If any person, or party, who really desires bi metallism believes that the ratio of 16 to 1 is not a correct ratio, wo aro ready to dis cuss that minor phase of tho question with a view to reaching un agreement. But we cannot discuss that subject with gold stand ard Republicans, for the reason that they aro opposed, as above stated, to the free colnago of silver at any ratio. In other words, they aro opposed to bimetallism. Upon the coinage question, therefore, tho dliferenca between trie two parties is fundamental- Now, what would bo the effect of Mr. Mc Kinley's election upon this question, and what the effect of Mr. Bryan's election? If Mr. McKInley should be elected, it is sate to say that, so far as the single question of silver coinage Is concerned, nothing would be done during his term. The gold people have got about all they want in that particular, and they would bo content to leave the coinage question as it Is. No doubt they would strive to procure, and probibly would procure, the passage of ad ditional currency legislation retiring the greenbacks, for instance, and conferring greater privileges upon national banks, but Die coinage situation would probably remain undisturbed. Practically the same effect as to the coin age would follow In the event of Mr. Bry an's election. Tho Senate, by a large ma jority. Is pronouncedly committed to the gold Etandard. and there is not one chance in fifty that any legislation favorablo to silver coinage could be enacted during Mr. Bryan's term. The effect on silver coinage, therefore, during the ensuing presidential term, would be practically tho same, wheth er Mr. Bryan or Mr. McKlnley ehould be elected. There would be an important dif ference in effect, however, as relates to other phases of the money question. If Mr. Bryan should be elected the greenbacks would not be retired, and the national banks would cease forthwith to exercise sov ereignty over the financial affairs of the people. And even as to the coinage ques tion, silver would have its friends, instead of Its enemies. In power friends who would strive intelligently and conscientiously to restore it to its old place In the confidence and affairs of the business world, both in America and Europe. However, while the principle bimetallism is as important as ever, events transpiring since 1SS6 make It, as a practical question, of less Immediate consequence in this campaign than It was in the last- Mr. Bryan would undoubtedly attempt to extirpate and eradicate the trusts. There is not a trust magnato in America who does not believe that. Can that bo done. If the wholo power of the Government should be ured to accomplish It? Why not? The Democratic platform proposes a means of defining trusts, and points out some spociflo remedies against them, which. If enforced, would make them unprofitable and Impos sible. But, If only the milder method of regulating them should be attempted, whoo hands could be the better trusted to put a stiff bit on and hold the reins most flrmlv McKlnley's or Bryan's? The practical dif ference in the effect of electing tho one candidate or the other would be this: If Mr. McKlnley should be elected, the trust question would sink Into "Innocuous desuetude," while trusts themselves would continue to flourish; while If Mr. Bryan POLITICAL Following are the appointments of speakers so .- assigned by the uemocratlo State Central wnwUen: HONORABLE A.

What Is Im perialism, in tho sense In which the term is currently used? By tho treaty of Paris, made at tho end of tho Spanish War, Spain ceded to the United States her claim of sovereignty and Jurisdiction over the Phil ippine Islands. Of what honest value this Spanish claim of sovereignty was, under the clrmustances. Is a doubtful thing; but whatever claim she had, good or bad. Spain ceded to the United Sfates. What shall bo ilono with tho islands now? Is the question. The policy of the McKlnley administration, which has been indoised by the Republican party. Is to hold the Islands as a permanent part of our domain, but without giving to them the ordinary rights of an American territory, and without conferring upon tho people thereof tho ordinary rights of Amer ican citizenship. It i3 proposed that this Government shall exercise sovereignty over the Islands and their Inhabitants, keeping them in subjection to our authorltv. but without permitting them to enjoy the privi leges attaching to our other Territories, and which belong ns of right to all our people, thereby malting colonies of tho islands and subjects of their inhabitants. If Mr. McKlnley should bo re-elected, strengthened in his purpose by popular In dorsement, ho would go forward with this perilous adventure upon which he and his advisers have embarked tho nation. If Mr. Bryan should bo elected he would, he has said. Immediately convene Congress In ex traordinary session, and recommend: fl) that wo establish a stablo government In tho Philipplno Islands, as we are doing In Cuba; (2) that we grant Independence to tre Filipinos, as wo have promised- It to the Cubans; (3) that we protect the Filipinos from outside interference. Just as wo pro tect the Republics of Central and South America, and as wo pledged, by ths Mon roe Doctrine, to protect Cuba. Now, as to tho election. What aro Mr. Bryan's chances? While it Is true that Mr. McKlnley's plurality over Mr. Bryan In ISM exceeded 600,000. and that his elec toral majority was 95. It is also true that a change of 22.07S votes, properly dis- ILllLiUltU. nUUIIJ iJO-YU 1YU11 .Ul, )1.UJ1 U1C3 i State of California. Delaware. Indiana, , Kentucky, North Dakota.

Brvan column, in addition to tho States named, and thus given him tho election by a majority of 23 In the electoral college. Of tho eight States named, a part were carried by only slight pluralities; and the aggregate opposition vote, not cast for either Mr. McKlnley or Mr. Bryan, amounted to 39,438. of which 14.303 were cold Democratic votes cast for Goneral Palmer. These figures make It clear that the Republican victory of 1SDG was not so , sweeping as some would make It appear: and when wo reflect that at least half of tho eight States named are ordinarily and normally Democratic, and that all are fair- . ly debatable, and when we further reflect that most of tho gold Democrats who de serted the party in 189S aro disposed this year to support the ticket, thero Is nothing in tho returfls of the last eleetion to d!s courago Democrats in striving for a dif ferent result this year. In 1S96 Mr. Bryan was a now man, prac tically unknown In American politics. Tho country was uncertain about htm. and busi ness Interests were afraid of him. Now he is well known. Ho Is universally esteemed t to be what ho Is an earnest, sincere man, ' gentle as a woman, yet strong as a g-.ant; honorable. Just, and bravo; a man of posi tive convictions, yet conservative; broad gauged, liberal-minded, and, above all, in tensely onxidus to be right Such a man Is a safe man. He has improve'd with age and with acquaintance. The people gen erally havo come to believe that he can be trusted "with power, for now they oia con fident that he would do nothing raslilv This wider confidence in the man's splcnd'd integrity, character, and intelligence is one of the strongest of Mr. Bryan's new ele ments of strength. And so. looking the wholo field over, the conclusion Is reached, and the propneov made, thnt Mr. Brvan will be elected. All who lovo our republican Institutions, nnd would preserve them unimpaired, should strive ceaselessly to accomplish that re sult METHODISTS' GREAT SCHEME. Institutional Church' at Chicago Will Be Erected. Chicago, Aug. 23. A temple that will rival any other In tho world Is to bo built In Chicago, If plans now under consideration by tho various Methodist Church officials in this city aro matured and executed. Tho edifice will be the home of the consolidated churches, under Institutional rule, and, if reports prove correct, the presiding eccle siastic will ba Doctor Camden M. Cobrn of Denver. Doctor Cobern, who Is pastor of Trinity Church in the Colorado city, waa inter viewed In Denver, but would say nothing, beyond asserting that the matter had not reached a point whero he could talk. Pre siding Elder Jackson said: "I will not say that Doctor Cobern has been approached In regard to the Institu tional church pastorate. I can Bay little about the plan. At present we are some what In tho dark as regards what we can do. We have too much money to obtain to talk now." The plan will be to effect the consolida tion of several biy Methodist chuches and congregations. Including Trlnitv.vthe First Church and others, sell the church prop erties and employ the capital thus derived Jjossibly $2.CO0,O0-in the building of ono of the greatest religious lemples ever known In the history of the world.

Kaufman Petitions Court for Letters of Administration Claims to Be His Widow. HIS RELATIVES ARE SURPRISED. 6ay That They Did Xot Know That He Was Married A Legal Battle Over Insurance Policy Probable. Mm. Vera V. Kaufman filed a petition In the Probate Court yesterday for letters of administration upon the estate of Abraham Kaufman, who was drowned In the Mera mec River while fishing August 18. A few days befsre Vera V. Kaufman filed her petition, a brother of the dead man an nounced his Intention of applying for admin istration papers. The estate consists of an accident policy for 55,000 In the Fidelity and Casualty Com pany of New York, and personal property valued at J100. An Interesting legal fight probably will result In the case. The father and brothers of Abraham Kaufman Insist that they waro unaware of the fact .that he had a wife. Vera V. Kaufman, the petitioner, lives at No. 11 North Garrison avenuo. An effort was modo yesterday to ascertain from her where and when she was married, but sha refused to discuss the matter. Max Kaufman, secretary of the Board of Health of St. Louis, who lives at No. 4627 Maryland avenue, said that the filing of the petition was a great surprise to him, as ho did not know his brother was mar ried. T(ie whole case Is enveloped in mystery. J. C.
