posed amendments that threatens to de

himself on the question of their

The necessity of voting for tlie con

sttongly Impiessed upon the people , if
they will only leilecl wlmt the fallino
of these nineniliuents means they cannot
help appreciating their Importance.

( Jalllnt ; a constitutional convention
means a lav : upon the people of Hot less

much greater. It means besides that
needless agitation of new issues and dis
traction from business at a time when
the people of this state should be bend

could not but piovc damaging to every

"Who are hypocrites ? " asks The Inde
pendent In Its leading editorial In its
cut i icnt issue. "It is generally as
sumed , " It goes on to say , "that there are
no hypoctitos. outside of tlie pale of the
chinch. Nobody likes hypoctltes , and
those who.ate believed to be such are
detested. It is one of tlie most seilous
cliinges brought against the chuicli that
It contains hypocrites , men wlio me not
what tljey seem to be , but are as the
word means , actors. Not a few pet sons
have been heard to say that the leason
why they do not join a chinch is because
they hate hypociites so much , and M >
long as the chinch hnibois them they
will keep out of it. "
A hypocilte , according to accepted
definition , is one who feigns to be what
lie is not , one wlio pietends to virtue
that he does not possess. Tlie Inde
pendent in the aiticle quoted goes on
to btand as a hypociite the man who
asserts Unit he believes In God and likes
the chinch , but wlio never goes to
church and refuses to participate in its
work beyond occasional or even icgnlar
contributions. The hypociite of the
chinch , It says , is worse than he seems ,
whiletlie hypocrite of the woild seems
worse than he Is.
Hut are tlieio not hypocrites both iu-
! < ! ami outside tlie church wliosc-
"ir.vrroi-rJr cim-nsTrr 'Hl" ' 'p're"lenTlTlfg It )
other things than religion ? Does not
the meichant who makes false repre
sentations to Ills patrons exhibit tr.iit.s
of hypocrisy ? Does not the pretender
In social circles possess all the qiinIltlc- >
of ( lie hjpocrlte ? Do neb tlie politician
and tlie political oiator wlio ptofess to
be what they are not , who pteaeh one
tiling before election and piactice an
cut holy ( llllou'iit tiling after election ,
icsort to tlie same wily arts as tlie most
accomplished chinch hypociite ? II
hypocrisy consists in .seeming to be
what one Is not , why should not the
term hypocrite be applied to every one
who sails under false pretenses whether
in tlie religious , social , business or politi
cal woild ? Unquestionably there aie
hypociites outside of the church , in
every walk of life , nnd the hypocrite out
side of the church deserves to be de
tested jut-t as much as the hypociite
within Its iiale.
MKItCIl.tlfT MAllIffH 1.VGISLATWN ,
It Is stated that the commissioner of
navigation will In Ids annual report
criticise the plank In tlie republican na
tional platform which favois discrimi
nating duties on goods Imported "In for
eign vessels. Ho will advocate fie-
pollc.y of fieo ships and will piobably
go extensively Into the discussion of that
policy , which Is distinctly on ftee undo
lines. Mr. Chamberlain , the commis
sioner , has heretofoie expressed his
vIowH on this subject , so that probably
lie will pioscnt nothing new. HeA \
simply an exponent of free trade as ap
plied to the mcrclmntnmilnc and what
ever hu may say h not likely to ch.nigc
the hcntiment of a majority of tlie Amer
ican people against free ships.
Many republicans do not believe Unit
It would be good policy to impose dls-
eliminating duties on Impoits in for
eign -vessels. Tliey apprehend th.it such
a policy would piovoko u'tallntlon on
the pait of foieign govoininuiitst and
they also question whether it would not
contiavene our connneicl.il tieatles.
They U'pognizo the fact that tlie pies-
cnt conditions as to Intcinational undo
me very dlU'eiont from the conditions
at the beginning of the government and
that these must hu taken Into consid
eration. It is not disputed that the leg
islation of ITS ! ) was highly hcnollclnl
to the American shipping Interest. In
that year only iiri per cent of our ex
ports and imports was carried in our
vtbtstls. Six yeins later we were carry
ing hit per cent of our commerce , ] Jj :
1811) ) 1)0 ) per cent of our exports and im ;
poits was onriU > il in Ameiic.in veosela.
Those facts conclusively show the good
I'ffccth of that wuly loglalatioi bntIt
iloes not follow that , a rtMiownr uB jtcji
policy at 1hls tliim would protlncu-'lllut >
tOMilts. It must therefore be logaided
is very doubtful whether tlio lepub-
Ifean party , If icstoivd to control oi tlu >
k'oveinment , would ie-enact the legisla
tion of ITh'J. ' On the other hand it is :
perfectly wife , to say Unit It will con-
llnne. to IMS ( Irmly pppo > wl t tiw nhlps ,
tor the ull-suilkicut reason that mich
' a policy would be utterly clp.it i net hi * of
our shipbuilding Inton-st and prolmbly
fall to give us such a merchant ninrlno
ns this gioat commercial nation otmht
to have. Having every facility for build
ing ships for oursehes ( here Is no sound
icason why American capital should be
taken abroad to buy whips. With Ju
dicious oiicoinageiiient on the pint of
the govt't'nniPiit we could in the COIITVP
of ten years construct a merchant ma
rine Ihnt would be equal to every de
mand nnd which would be a most Im
portant supplement to our navy , ns Is
the merchant mntlne of ( heal Ilrltaln
to the navy of Unit country.
As we have lieretofote said hi i ela
tion to tills matter , It Is one of tlu
gieatest Importance to tlie commercial
piogress of tlie country nnd no section
lias n monopoly of Interest In It. An
American merchant nnnlne would be no
less benellclal to tint pioduceis of the
west and south than to the nianufaclur-
eis of tlie east and the middle states.
Our present dependence upon foreign
ship owners Is extteincly expensive. At
n moderate estimate It costs our people
? ir , < ) .000.000 a year and neatly the whole
of that sum goes nhiond , only n very
small pint of it being expended in this
eountiy. It tcqtilre.s no gieat Intelli
gence to undeistand that If this large
sum were kept at home and expended
for ship building nmtetlal , labor and
supplies , it would bo n mntoiinl bum-lit
to numerous intcicsK Hut this Is not
all , for tills dependence places us at a
disadvantage In competition with coin-
nieiclal ilvals that have a men-haul
nun hie. It is unquestionable Unit a
count i y whose trade Is can led on under
Its own llag has a veiy decided advan
tage. Onv experience witli .South Amer
ica lias demolish n ted this.
If the icpnhllcan patty Is restoied to
contiol of the government it may safely
be expected to enact legislation fjpr giv
ing the country n meu'hniit mat inc. it
is absolutely ceitaln that if its oppo
nents aio placed in power there will In'
no such legislation and our commerce
\\ill become more dependent upon tot
elgn ship owners , with an annually In
creasing outgo to pay for the caiiying
of our exports and impoits.

A few days ago Major McKinley ad-

poses the honor of the country and the

Mr. Hryai < nld at Indianapolis that
"tlio iTstoiij in of bimetallism will not
hurt any $ * tlmate business ; tlie elec-
( lun of tile Mitcago ticket will help
legitimate business. " It would seem
fiom this that Mr. llrynn has changed
his opinion , for he some time ago ad
mitted that the free coinageof sliver
would produce panic , which he thought ,
however , would l > 6 only Inlef. Now It
appears that he has readied the conclu
sion that the success of the policy for
which be stands , the abandonment of
the gold standard , Avoilld be Immedi
ately helpful to legitimate business. IM-
deiitly Mr. llijan icallxes that theie Is
widespread anxMoty and apprehension
In business circles and he hopes to allay
it by one of Ids peculiar oracular utter-
t'lices.
Hut practical business men will not
take Mr. Kijah's woid. They know
belter than in- does what would take-
phue and ( lie giont majority of thin

would be Impossible. Financial ehao
would be tlie result and with such
state of affairs legitimate bnslnes
would inevitably suffer. Wo have ha
foreshadow'lngs Of such a calastioph
and If there is less fear now in final
clal and business elides than a fev
weeks ago , It Is "because of a giowln
belief that tlie Chicago ticket will In
defeated. As thi/piobabillty of this re
suit becomes more npp'iiont Mr. IStyn
will be able to discein a restoration o
that confidence at which he has HIK-OIIM
and this will show to him Unit the mei
who are managing the legitimate bus
ness of the countly Know that ftee sll

The truth Is that ilr. Brjan's campaign it
an Insult to the intelligence of the Ameri
can people. Ho deliberately asks the work-
Ingmcn to vote for a policy the adoption of
which would greatly reduce the purchasing
power of their wages , and he asks them to
do this for the very reason that It would
have that effect. Ills whole burden IB that
a cheap dollar will bring high prices. Uut
ho has not proved , and ho cannot prove ,
that such a dollar will bring proportionate
higher wages On the contrary , he has ad
mitted that his scheme will maku wages Icac
valuable. But he Insists that under lower
wages men would have a better chance tc
got vorS : and would be more likely to hold
their jobs. That Is his answer , and his
only answer to the charge that his plan will
cut In two the purchasing power of the
worklngman's d&llar. It is too much to
expect that Intelligent newspapers should
support such a policy.

Nature herself t.eems to be working tins
jear to prevent the farmers of the United
States from committing the fatal folly of
\otlng for free silver. The sharp advance
In the price of wheat , amounting to about
13 cents a bushel in the last month , har
confuted the assertion of Bryan and his
lieutenants that the previous low price of
gialn was due to "the crime ot 1873 ; " and
though the campaign managers are trying
lo make It appear that the present rise Is
due to political machination , just as thoj-
are trying to make people believe that the
armies of visitors to Canton are all paid
by the republican leaders , they cannot re
fute the facts that the wheat crop in India
and Argentina have suffered greatly from
drouth , that the crop in Russia is 40 per
cent short , and that the stock of wheat on
hand In Liverpool October 1 was less than
one-fourth as large as that on the corresponding
spending date last year. These are business
reasons for the rise which the farmers can
understand , and they are intelligent enough
to see that the relative value of silver has
nothing to do with any of them.

The Wisconsin some time ago received -
communication from a valued correspondent
at Shlocton , asking how free coinage of
sliver at the ratio of 1G to 1 could hurt tliu
United States when such an authority aa
William Llddenlalo , ox-governor of the Bank
of Hngland , had expressed himself on the
subject as follows ;
"It the American people had the courage
o ! conviction and would adopt the double
standard of gold and sliver , no matter at
what ratio , they would Inside of a jeai
command the trade of the East Indies , the
StralU , China and Japan. Unless England
should follow milt and adopt a bimetallic
standard she would Inside of eighteen
months cease to bo a commercial factor In
the markets of the world , "
The Wisconsin had no means of testing
the genuineness of the quotation , but ex
plained why it would not accept Mr. Lld-
dcidalo's judgment In the matter if his
Judgment disagreed with its own Now It
comes out that Mr Lldderdale denies the
responsibility for the sentiments thus put
Into his 'mouth The alleged cxpicsslon , ;
which was said to have been uttered at a
banquet at the Mansion house In London ,
lias been attributed to Mr LUMerdale by
numerous fno silver writers and orators
lurlni ; the present campaign S. 11 , Zeigler ,
cltUcn of West Union , la , did not believe
llio assertion that the ex-governor of the
Udnk of England had expressed such views ,
anil wrote direct to the Hank of England , .
endorsing the above extract. Ho has ro-
elved the following response :

Kuhlow's German Trade Review gives
some interesting facts concerning the
world's demand for and supply of wheat
during 189C. The countries that , Import
wheat are Great Britain , France , Ger
many , Austria , Italy , Netherlands. Bel-
glum , Switzerland , Denmark , Scandi
navia , Spain , Portugal and Greece. The
home product of these countries for 1S96
la stated to bo 450,870,000 bushels less than
the yearly average of their consumption.
The exporting countries are- Russia , Hun
gary , noumanla , Bulgaria , East lloumulla ,
Servla , Tuikey , Kast Indies , United States ,
Canada. Argentine , Chill , Australia , the
Cnpo Colony. Kgypt , Tunis nnd Algiers.
These will have 320,212,000 bushels available
for export nfter their home demands are
supplied. Thus there is an apparent de
ficiency of 130067,000 bushels between the
avtia o demand and this year's supply.
Were It not there are some considerable re
serves of last year's production serious In
convenience might result from this shortage.
But . as things really stand no further results
than an Increase of price to a dcgice that
will give profit to1 the producer may bo ex
pected.
Among the exporting countries Russia
produced -10,000,000 bushels lehs In 1890 than
In 1895 ; the Hast Indian crop Is less by 5C-
000,000 bushels ; that of Argentina by 14- ,
000,000 bushels ; Australia bhous a falling
off of 8,000,000 bushels. These conditions
account for the rise In wheat values. Sin
gularly enough this increase of wheat pi ices
Is accompanied by a fall in thu price of nil-
ve-r. Hut Mr Bryan will continue to preach
that wheat cannot rise until silver rises.

At Nashville , Tenn. , Mr. liryan talked him *
self Into distinguished company , according
Lo his usual wont , in these words :
"I can understand why the people of this
itate , an , : especially of this portion of the
itftte- , should feel so deep an interest In the
auao which Is being rcpicsenlcd by the
Chicago platform , because , my filends , wo
ire fighting today the battle that Andrew
fackson fought when ho WBH In ofllco. "
It has already been revealed that the Clil-
ago nominee Is anything but scrupulously
xact In ascribing certain sentiments to thu
llatingulshed dead. But his reference to
31d Hickory Is anothe-r offense of the same
.haracter. In his message of December 2 ,
1834 , President Jact.son declared .
"The progress of our gold coinage Is cred-
table to the officers of the mint , and prom-
acs In n short period to furnish the country
vlth a sound and portable currency " ,
This does not read as If Andrew Jackson
vas such an Implacable fee of iral money
is the Boy Orator announces himself to be.
Neither did ho give any evidence of sym-
rnthy with the cheap money delusion , as
he following extract from his last message I )
loncluslvely shows
"Enraged from day to day In their useful
oil they ( werklngmcn ) do not perceive
hat although their wages aio nominally
he isamo , or even Bome-vhat higher , they
n > greatly reduced In fact by the raplJ In-
rraso of a spurious curre-ncy , which , tin It

t first Inclined to consider a blessing ,
, U not until the prlcts of the necessaries
| Uo i > ttome p dear that the laboring
lasees cannot supply their wants out of
heir wagrs that their wages rise , "

oiicy and a .cheaper dollar. Ho woa no
