GRAND PARADE OF HONOR United (States Soldier and Ballon, 11111 ' tia from Several State, Veteran and Civilian to Line The Pres ident Speak Mr. McKinley y Deliver a Brief Bat Olowlnt; Tribute. New Yobk, April 28. The day for the ceremonies connected with the dedication of the grand monument to General Ulyssss 8. Grant, in which the body of the soldier-statesman will re pose for all time, opened gloriously bright and cool. Countless thousands were early astir for the grand para de and dedicatory exercises were set for the morning hours. Hundreds of thousands of flags floated from build ings all over the city, from ships of all kinds and from windows of rich and poor alike, The ceremonies proper began at sunrise, when from the tall flag pole near the tomb was unfurled the im mense American flag furnished by the Daughters of the Revolution, which will fly night and day in fair weather and foul, until the winds shall have worn it away and the suns have faded its colors. At the same time the ma rines on the warships were piped to quarters and landed on shore to stand and receive the head of the land col umn. Then bands began playing on land and water, children singing and youths shouting, while hosts hurried to the route of the parade or to River side park. THE GATHERING OF NOTABLES. The Fifth Avenue hotel's broad cor ridors were filled early with native and foreign dignitaries, and almost every second person blazed with bul lion and military trappings. In a side room were the members of the recep tion committee, who formed the escort of the guests of the city. Among the earliest of these guests was Speaker Reed and Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British ambassador, with Chauncey M. Depew. General Schofield and General Ruger were together. Ex-President Cleveland arrived at the hotel at 0:15 o'clock with Mr. Gilder. Troop A had already lined up on the west side of the park. Acting Inspector Wallace with 105 men kept ' the roadway clear and only those with passes were permitted within the lines. Secretary Long of the navy fol lowed the ex-President closely. The loud shouts of the people an nounced the arrival of the President at 9:20 o'clock. He rode in a carriage with General Horace Porter and Mayor Strong. His reception was flattering in the extreme and he bowed repeat edly. Vice President Hobart joined the President and General Porter and the mayor and the open barouche in which they were seated drew up in the center of the plaza where it took its place at the head of the line. General Butterfield in his uniform of a retired general of the army, rode at the risrht of the barouche which was preceded by a picked force of mounted policemen. The military escort included one ser geant and ten men of troop A. THE PRESIDENTIAL PROCESSION. In the meantime the diplomats- had departed by the Twenty-fourth street entrance, leaving the way clear for the Grant family, the cabinet and others. The Grants left the hotel by the Fifth avenue entrance a few min utes ahead of the President's party. Mrs. Grant leaned on the arm of her aon, Colonel Fred D. Grant, and the others followed. Altogether they oc cupied eight carriages. The initial step in the parade was made almost on schedule time, and by 9:40 o'clock the presidential procession was on the move. The order of this procession was: Squadron A; President Mc Kin ley, Vice President Hobart, Mayor Strong and Genernl Porter, in a carriage; Mrs. Julia Dent Grant, Colonel and Mrs. Fred D. Grant and Mrs. Nellie Grant-Sartoris; Mrs. Jesse Grant, Miss Nellie Grant and Master Chapman Grant; five carriages bearing the others of the Grant family; ex President Cleveland and Richard Wat son Oilier; Major General W. S. Rose- crans, Major General C C. Augur, Major General IL G. Wright and Major General II. C. Park. Cheers greeted the distinguished party as It moved through the decor ated streets, the enthusiasm being so noteworthy that President McKlnley's hat was in a state of constant salute. Mrs. Grant and her - family to the third generation were objects of special attention, and the widow of the hero was visibly affected at the great dem onstration. EXERCISES AT THE TO MR lly 8 o'clock vast crowd had arrived at the tomb, and those who were for tunate enough to posneM tickets en titling them to seats on stands, took their places In the gaily decked structures and prepared fur the long wait that was to enue before the ar rival of the notables and military affeiti. The arrival of the oflU-lal portion of the prvoeMiou at the tomb was the atonal for a stupendous outburst of patriotic cheering frt the 5i,Hx) peo ple In the f ran stand and on the lawns aroaud the mouument and on heights. The reI.Wt and the other guasU alighted from their carriages at the monument stand and tW the fleece assigned Ui them in rvadineaa for the ratorieal and luutU-ei eere- monies at 10:35 o'clock, and stillness reigned in place of the noisy enthusi asm that marked the arrival of Presi dent McKinley. At 11:04 o'clock President McKinley entered the speaker's stand and was followed by the others who were to participate in the ceremonies. The President, with bared head, leaned on the arm of Mayor Strong, who kept his hat on. The .President was loudly cheered, as was also ex-President Cleveland, who appeared with ex-Seo-retary Tracy. Mr. Cleveland and President McKinley shook hands, and then conversed for a few moments. Just before the time for the ceremo nies on the 6tand President McKinley, Vice President Hobart and ex-President Cleveland were photographed in a group. The exercises commenced with the singing of "America." A solemn silence then fell on the dense crowd as the venerable Bishop John P. Newman invoked the blessing of heaven upon the ceremoniea Many of the people joined in the "Our Father," which concluded the bishop's prayer. As soon as the prelate had taken his seat, the hymn, "Old Netherland Folk," was sung by the choristers. Another mighty cheer arose as Pres ident McKinley, after the singing of the hymn, moved to the speaker's stand to deliver his address. He was introduced by Mayor Strong, who said: "I now have the pleasure of intro ducing President McKinley to you, the President of the United States." As the President removed his hat, cries came from all sides: "Put on your hat j we'll excuse you." The Pres ident, however, stood with bared head despite the nipping wind that swept across the exposed stand, and delivered his address as follows: i MR. M'KINLEY'S ADDRESS. "Fellow Citizens: Almost twelve years have passed since the heroio vigil ended and the brave spirit of Ulysses S. Grant fearlessly took its flight Lincoln and Stanton had pre ceeded him, but of the mighty captains of war Grant was the first to be called. Sherman and Sheridan survived him, but have since joined him on the other shore. The great heroes of the civil strife on land and sea are for the most part now no more. Thomas and Han cock, Logan and McPherson, Farragut, Dupont and Porter and a host of others have passed forever from human sight. Those remaining grow' deartr to us, and from them and the memory of those who have departed generations yet unborn will draw their inspiration and gather strength for. patriotic purpose. "A great life never dies. Great deeds are imperishable; great names immortal. General Grant's services and character will continue undimin ished in influence and advance in the estimation of mankind so long as lib erty remains the cornerstone of free government and integrity of life the guarantee of good citizenship. Faith ful and fearless as a volunteer soldier, intrepid and invincible as commander- in-chief of the armies of the Union, calm and confident as Pres ident of a reunited and strengthened nation his genius had been instrumen tal in achieving, he has our homage and that of the world. But brilliant as was his public character, we love him all the mere for his home life and homely virtues. His individuality, his bearing and speech, his simple ways had a flavor of rare and unique dis tinction and his Americanism was so True and uncompromising that his name will stand for all time as the embodiment of liberty, loyalty and national unity. "Victorious" in the work which un der Divine Providence he was called upon to do, clothed with almost limit less power, he was yet one of the peo ple patient, patriotic and just Suc cess did not disturb the even bal ance of his mind, while fame was powerless to swerve him from the path of duty. Great as he was in war, he loved' peace, and told the world that honorable arbitra tion of differences was the best hope of civilization. With Washington and Lincoln, Grant has an exalted place in history and the affections of the peo ple. To-day his memory is held in equal esteem by those whom he led to victory, and by those who accepted his generous terms of peace. "The veteran leaders of the Blue and the Gray here meet not only to honor the name of the departed Grant, but to testify to the living reality of a fraternal national spirit which has triumphed over the differences of "the past and transcended the limitations of sectional lines. Its completion, which we pray God to speed, will be the nation's greatest glory. At the conclusion of the President's address Colonel Fred Grant advanced and shook him warmly by the hand. "The Star Spangled Banner" was played by the band after which Gen eral Horace Porter was introduced by the mayor. The orator of the day was accorded a warm reception. More discreet than the president, General Porter kept his hat on while he read his address from typewritten manu script Greek ltnllimUiu at Columbia, Mo. lt i wiiiA, Mx, April Si.

Rlpaa Tabu lee cure Udtf tsUea, J 4PAN AND THE GOLD STANDARD The Facts in Rcgaid to the Demonetisa tion or the White Metal. Gold-worship organs are indulging In great jnbilation over the recent action of Japan in adopting, as these organs allege, the gold standard. Without for an instant consenting to the suggestion that we look to any for eign nation for instruction as to what should be the course of the United States, let os see what the proposed action of Japan is. It is proposed to fix the legal ratio be tween silver and gold at 32 to 1, but instead of doing so in the way insisted upon by our gold standard advocates, that is by doublingthequantityof metal in a silver dollar and thus enor mously contracting the circulating medium, the Japanese plan is to leave its silver unit (the yen) unchanged nnd reduce the quantity of metal in the gold yen one-half. Japan's currency beiug composed of about 180,000,000 of gold and $8L 000,000 of silver the effect of this act will be to increase her currency supply more than 24 per cent without the ad dition of an ounce of either gold or silver, by straight out inflation. As, from the best information I have been able to obtain, the cost of pro ducing 371K grains of silver is about double that of producing 23.22 grains of gold it would have been more logical for Japan to have reduced the weight of its silver yen ont-half, leaving its golden yen unchanged unless it be true that gold has increased in value. Precedent for Japan's action is not wanting. The priucipal one which comes to mind is that of Solon, whose name long ago became a synonym for legisla tive wisdom, when he reduced the quant ity of silver in the mina 27 per cent for the sake of lightening the burden of the debtor, class in ancient Greece. A notable fact about that act of Solon's was that he himself was a large creditor and received his pay in the depreciated weight coin. Although it is ontside the subject of this article I will here remark that con currently with the act named above Solon imposed a graduated income tax, and that bis wise legislative and admin istrative acts brought prosperity and liberty to an oppressed and almost despairing people. It seems to me that the action of Japan, when fairly stated, brings little comlort to the advocates of the gold standard. The writer does not feel him self qualified to furnish and elaborate a financial system for our country only to the extent that he would ground it upon a specie basis with unlimited coinage of both silver and gold at tberatio of 16 to 1, with a charge for cost of mintage to be paid by the owner of the bullion, both coins to be alike full legal tender; all existing obligations to be redeemed according to both the letter and the spirit of the contract. Aud this legisla tion the writer would have enacted ''without waiting for the consent of foreign nations." M. B. bi.ooum, South Sioux City, Neb., April 12, '97. BAILEY SUPPORTS BRYAN. The Democratic Leader in Congress is for Btysn in 1900. The opposition press of the country has been generally reporting that diffi culties exist between Mr. Bryan and Mr. Bailey, the recognized leader of the democrats in congress. The report has been circulated to such an extent that Mr. Bailey has written a letter for pub lication stating the facts, fie says: "During the contest over the demo cratic nomination for the speakership I refused to discuss my relations with Mr. Bryan, because I felt thnt an explana tion at that time might be construed as an effort to influence the result of the caucus, and 1 preferred to be defeated rather than place myself in the position of explaining my attitude toward any man. But now, that the contest is over, and my nomination has been so exten sively advertised as evidence of a split in our party, I am entirely willing to answer your question. "In the letter which I wrote declining a renomination for congress 1 said: 'Mr. Bryan is not only one of the most brilliant men in this or any other country, but he is a man of exalted character and sincerely devoted to the welfare of the people.' That was my opinion of him then, and that is my opinion of him now. "It is very true that I differed with him on certain questions, and I frankly said so to my constituents. I have not changed my opinion on those questions, and 1 do not expect to, nor have I ever regretted for a single moment the course which 1 pursued at the Chieago conven tion or afterwards. "Hut the story that my nomination by the democratic caucus was an anti Bryan victory hardly deserves to be dignified by a denial. The truth is that many of my warmest friends are ardent supDorters of Mr. Bryan, and as matters now stand I am myself heartily in favor of bis nomination in 1000."

Must Bo Considered By the Entire Finance Committee. The democratic members ol the senate seem to have decided that the tariff measure must take the regular course through the senate, thus giving them an opportunity to examine it carefuly in the committee and report such amend ments as they deem proper and neces sary to place themselves on record for tbe next campaign. If tbe bill was al lowed to go to a vote without this ex amination they would probably be left without the opportunity of making long speeches for political purposes, (senator White, one of tbe democratic members of tbe committee, in a recent interview con cerning the matter, said: "I would.be" glad to gratify the per sonal inclinations of any senator, but. speaking for myself only, I am unable to perceive the propriety of such a course. and cannot acquiesce in it. When the bill is reported to the senate the demo cratic members ought to be able to imme diately lay before their colleagues a com paratively full statement of the inflrini ties of the proposed measure. This cannot be done unless the subject is properly discussed in committee, and if examined therewith care much labor will be saved them when the proposition is suomictea to the senate. If tbe demo cratic members are to be of any use 00 the committee it must be because they will be able to give this information. Besides a fair presentation of the views of the minority may lead to immediate changes in tbe improvement of tbe bill. If we consent to the adoption of the plan ontlined by the republican members it will be said that we nave given away our case. "If our republican brethren have im proved the bill no as to make it passably digestible they can afford to submit it to careful and conservative criticism in the committee room. The country, of course, understands that the republican members of tbe finance committee have had the bill since it passed the house, and the minority have interposed no ob struction and have not been in a posi tion to intelligently examine a single schedule, and tbe situation will not be altered nntil the details of the measure are disclosed. I do not complain of the delay. Tbe subject is of grave import ance and the gentlemen who have been preparing -amendments have worked assiduously and are no doubt troubled because of tbe extraordinary burden im posed upon them by the house. Thus far there has been no real debate on tbe bill, aud while I am most anxious to see this session closed I know that quite a time will necessarily be consumed in legitimate discussion. I frequently asked whether the retroactive clause will be retracted. I can only say that 1 thoroughly agree with the cnti cisims made upon this particular pro vision by Senator Vest and do not think it can be retained, nor do I believe that it was ever intended to pass a bill con taining such a restriction. Its insertion by tbe bouse was designed to scare im porters. I have no reason to suppose that any democratic member of tbe finance committee favors tbe direct re- Cort of the measure to the senate. We ave had no formal meeting yet." It is generally coneeded that be spoke tbe sentiments of a majority of the dem ocratic members. Am lUaatratloa. ' Are yon a merchant, a manufacturer, a farmer, a mechanic, or a professional man? If so, you are a laborer, In the economic sense. Then observe how the usurer gsts the best of you, leviee tribute on your commerce and Anally aborbs you. It is common history yet marve loualy unkuowa and misunderstood. Here is Capital with a million dollars, say. Along comes Labor, who wishes to construct some public work and borrows that million dollars at 5 per cent. Labor lau't really compel14' to borrow the money lor Lobor has money enough, land enough, and all the mechanicul kill there is. But Leber isn't orren ited lor any practical purpose, whereas Capital Is highly organised, (thereby dis playing superior iatt lligne, lor oru fil iation is one ul the prime iodwe ol in telligence,) sad Labor finds it easier to borrow tbitn organiie. everything and everyone follow tbe hue ol least resist ane, eieapt the man In search ol wndora.

At the end ol the year Labor calls around and says to Capital: ' Here If r. Capital, yon have consumed 135,000 worth of my Sroducts during the year, I still owe yon 25,000 and I want to settle." Now, good reader, bow is Labor going to effect that settlement? When yon bare solved that problem you will have the whole industrial situation at your finger tips. Capital would like to help Labor out, would like to encourage home industry, yon know, etc., etc., bnt Capi tal has no use for six meals a day, can't wear two suits of clothes at onoe, is sat isfied with a town and country residence, and one trip to Europe during tbe sea son palls his appetite lor travel. In a word, Capital cannot lire two lives oa earth simultaneously so he takes $25, 000 worth of Labor's land, and money, takes, in fact, so much of Labor's oppor tunity to live and do business on earth, simply because there is nothing else to take. There are but three prime factors In the case, land labor, and money, and as Capital has no further use for Labor he takes tbe others, naturally. Header, there a thousand excases for this sort of business and a thousand ways to present it to the an sophisticated eye. It is argued that death, defaulters and spendthrifts defeat tbe ultimate and natural result of usury but in the above you hare tbe essence of the matter and neither death, defaulters, or spendthrifts do aught but delay the final outcome, the disintegration of society. All history proves it, for in all times and places the usurer steadily accumulates the land and money, and the masses are disin herited. Worse still, society is thoro ughly debauched by the usurer and ever ready, even to its own destruction, to make excuses for him. Few there are who have either heart or brain to strike a blow for bis victim. Cowards all, or nearly so. Formerly we had unoccupied land to fly to for relief, but today the "mark of the beast" is npon the whole earth, practically, and we must stand up and face this matter. There is a simple way out, but we must first make a cor rect diagnosis uf the case before we can prescribe a remedy. Usury can also be collected in the price of products sold, sometimes is, bnt as a general thing there is too much compete tion in ordinary business to permit it, though many think otherwise. Bnt they have little conception of what legit imate earnings might be, without usury, i. e., with unrestricted opportunity. Wealth is easy to create. Nature yields np her bounties so readily we are always suffering from "overproduction," but robbing each other is poor business. Let us rob nature instead.
