THE MORALITY PARTY.
Tricks anil Srhrmra of tlir Repul»
■Inn Mrthnd of Fl*aa>
tiering.
It has come to light that the God and
morality party is not in perfect accord
with itself on a question of high finan- j
rial morality. There is agreement upon ;
the general proposition that there cam
be no real financial morality without the
gold standard, but after that there is
divergence. The nature of the differ
ence can best be understood from a
statement of facts.
In accordance with the general prin
ciple that the honor of the nation, its
credit and its financial well being de
mand that all obligations of the I'nited
States shall be paid in gold unless other
wise expressly stipulated in the con
tract, and that all possible doubt upon
that point shall be removed, the house
caucus committee has framed a bill de
claring plainly that gold is the sole
standard of valu» in this country and
that all bonds and other pecuniary obli
gations. except as above stated, are pay
able in gold.
All that looks very direct and .straight
forward. I'pon the general principle
laid down there should he no objection
to it. But we hear that the thrifty re
publicans of the senate do object very
strenuously. They say that if they I
should concur in the passage of a house
bill containing a radical gold standard
provision ‘‘they would destroy one of
the best means of refunding the debt
at lower rates.” Therefore they "pro
pose to apply the gold standard to fu
ture issues and provide at once for new
gold bonds at a low interest rate which
could readily be exchanged for the pres
ent high-rate, short-time coin bonds.”
So the house will virtually pass the rad
ical gold standard bill, but the senate
will prudently modify it in such wise
that the holder of existing bonds will
think it prudent to exchange them for
new ones expressly payable in gold.
That is to say, it. is very immoral amd
dishonorable to pretend that existing
bonds maybe paid in silver, and in order
to establish the national credit and re
move all suspicion of a disposition to re
pudiate the just obligations of the na
tion it is necessary to pass a bill declar
ing that all the bonds arc payable in
gold. At the same time it is entirely
moral so to frame the bill as to make
holders of those bonds think they are
liable to be paid in silver, and therefore
that the best thing they can do is to ex
change them for new ones which are ex
pressly payable in gold.
In other words, the republican posi
tion is that- the existing bonds were in
tended to be payable in gold, and that
this is so certain that it is grossly im
moral so much as to suggest that they
can be paid in silver without dishonor;
yet it is entirely moral to scare holders
Into surrendering them in exchange for
others bearing a lower rate of interest
but expressly payable in gold by play
ing on their fears that the old ones will
be paid in silver.
It would seem that in taking this posi
tion the republicans give away their
case as a matter of morals altogether
and take their stand on the lower level
of policy. If existing bonds arc unques
tionably payable in gold it is morally
wrong to pretend that they are not in
order to frighten holders into giving
them up for less than bonds so payable
are worth, and if they are not so payable
all the republican outcry against those
w ho have proposed to pay them in silver
has been mere hypocrisy. If the senate
scheme is to be adopted it will be in or
der for the republicans to descend from
their high moral horse.—Chicago Chron
cle.
POINTED PARAGRAPHS.
-Judging from what Senator Han
na said in the Ohio campaign the repub
lican party intends to deal very tender
ly with trusts in the campaign next
year. The democratic party can do no
wiser thing than to take its stand
against trusts. It can afford to rest
its chances of winning the election on
that one issue.—Savaunah News.
-Secretary Gage condemned as
•‘sentimental agitation” on Monday the
demand he yielded to on Wednesday.
Result: Speculators were enabled to
clean up, by a rise in stocks in WaP
street, just $48,921,340. While this ac
tion, which necessitated a sudden
change of front, has been severely crit
icised, Secretary Gage accepts the full
responsibility.—Toledo Commercial.
-“Hanna must go!” is the watch
word. It was uttered in whispers at
first, but now it is shouted through
megaphones. Hut Mr. Hanna has a deaf
ear for such voices and President Mc
Kinley keeps his mouth shut and looks
wise. It is not forgotten that the pres
ident acted like a rock for Alger up to a
certain time and then turned him down
because the pressure to dismiss him “for
the good of the party” became too
strong.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
-If hostile politicians in Hanna's
party attempt too persistently to drive
him from the helm McKinh v's sense of
abligation may be appeaieu to by the
man who, more than anyone else,
brought him out as a candidate for
president and secured his nomination
and election. An appeal on this ground
made to the president cannot go un
heeded without laying “the chosen in
itrument of destiny and duty" open to
x charge of unrequited affection and
base ingratitude.—St. Louis Republic.

BOND MANIPULATION.
How (hr Adniialatratloa .shape*
Thlnu* to Help Oot Specu
lator*.
For the first time in ten vtars the gov
ernment is about to reduce its bonded
j debt. That is gratifying, of course, but
! the circumstances under which the
operation is to be performed do not
speak very forcibly for the intelligence
of OK" financial policy, however elo
quently they may tell of the astuteness
of the individuals who profit by it.
The secretary of the treasury has of
fered to buy bonds to the amount of
$25,000,000 to ease the money market.
He proposes to pay 112% for four-per
cents, of 1907, or 111 for five percents, of
1904. That w ould release from $27,750,
oOO to $2S,1''7,500, if the bondholders
should avail th> mselves of the offer to
its fullest extent.
Looking at the matter merely with
reference to the present point of time,
the secretary's proposition is advan
tageous to the government The money
is lying idle in the treasury, and by
using it in this way we shall save about
$1,000,000 a year in interest.
But how does that money happen to
be in the treasury, it is there l»ecause
this administration and it ^predecessor*
issued bonds for it. The four percents,
for which Secretary Gage is now offer
ing 112% were originally issued at par.
That is to say, the government proposes
to pay back $1,128,750 for every $1,000,
000 it received, after having already paid
$S80,000 in interest.
On some of the other loans the show
ing is even worse. Four years ago Pres
ident Cleveland sold $02,315,400 of four
per cents, of 1925 to the Morgan-Bel
mont syndicate at a fraction over 104.
If the government, should trj- to buy
back any of those bonds to-day it would
have to pay 130%. It is not enough for
the government to buy or sell bonds
whenever it suits the convenience of Mr.
Morgan and the interests he represents
—it must also buy dear and sell cheap.
Suppose instead of this clumsy bond
arrangement we had a postal savings
bank with $1,000,000,000 of deposits.
Then, if the government had more
money on hand than it needed, and
wanted to get some of it into circula
tion, all it would have to do would be to
reduce the rate of interest. As the in
terest w$nt down the deposits would
flow out. When the process had gone oa
long enough it could l>e checked by sim
ply fixing the rate of interest at the
point at which deposits equaled with
drawals.
Or suppose we had the interconvert
ible bond system. There would be no
premiums then and no losses to the gov
ernment on purchases and sales of
bonds. When money became so scarce
that it was worth more than the two
per cent, paid by the government the
holders of bonds would simply take
them to the treasury and receive notv«
at par. When they had no further use
for the notes they would take them te
the treasury and get bonds. Thus the
money market would always be easy,
and the government would never be
forced to chaffer for its own securities.
The $1,040,048,850 of bonds we had
outstanding when Secretary Gage made
his offer cost us $40,347,870.80 a year in
interest. Under the other arrangement
live annual interest charge would be
less than $21,000,000 at the outside, and
might run down to nothing, if the de
mand for currency were sufficient.

of currency reform as one of the issues
of next year’s campaign?—X. Y. Jour

Evidently the republicans, no matter
how much they may whistle to keep
their courage up, are pretty thoroughly
frightened over the results of the re!
cent elections.
Realizing the fact that Bryan has
gained ground rapidly and that even
McKinley’s home state is in danger, the
republicans are now talking about an
early convention.
Recalling the history of the Inst pres
idential election and the amount of
time, money and printing it took to
stem the tide of Bean’s eloquence, the
republican national committee is said
to be unanimously in favor of calling
, the national convention together earlt
1 in June.
Another “campaign of education”
must be fought, the trusts must be got
in line and “milked” to the last drop in
the way of contributions to the corrup
tion fund and documents “explaining”
the policy of imperialism must be pre
pared, and it takes time to do all this.
Of course, a long campaign will dis
turb business, but the republicans will
have all the business they can take care
of in an endeavor to make the people
believe that there are no trusts in this
country, and that trusts are a good
thing, anyhow.

The
Whole
Truth!
There’s nothing
so bad for a cough
as coughing.
There’s nothing
so good for a
cough as Ayer’s
Cherry Pectoral.
The 25 cent size is just right
for an ordinary, everyday cold
The 50 cent size is better for the
cough of bronchitis, croup, grip,
and hoarseness. The dollar size
is the best for chronic coughs,
as in consumption, chronic bron
chitis, asthma, etc.
CHOICE Vegetables
will always find a ready
market—but only that farmer
can raise them who has studied
the great secret how to ob
tain both quality and quantity
by the judicious use of well
balanced fertilizers. No fertil
izer for Vegetables can produce
a large yield unless it contains
at least 8% Potash. Send for
our books, which furnish full
information. We send them
free of charge.
