The sinking of the Maine has produc

Indicate that there Is a good deal of
thlaklng upon the subject. Congress
has made very liberal appropriations
for the construction of war vessels, and
when those now nea ring completion are
finlahed we shall hare about a dozen
battleships that would be a credit to the
British or any other European navy.
The first object we ought to have In
view is the construction of vessels that
will serve as a coast defense In case of
war, and a comparatively small num
ber of battleships would be ample for
present necessities on the high seas.
But we have built these enormous bat
tleshipa, costing, wUh armaments,
something like $4,000,000 each, draw
ing about twenty-five feet of water,
where we have comparatively few har
bors in which they can enter. Besides
this, these enormous iron boxes are not
of assured reliability as fighting ma
chines. They have nowhere been tested
in actual warfare except in the conflict
between China and Japan, and that
contest was too unequal to degnooKtrate
the absolute utility of such ve.!ls.

bottom of the sea," and he calls her a
"costly toy." It Is Admiral Jonett's
opinion that what we ought to have. In
place of these ships, is a number of
monitors like the newly built Puritan,
which Is a floating fortress of the most
practical and efficient kind. He bases
his opinion upon the facts which he
given as follows: "A battleship towers
above the surface of the water rwenty
flve feet or more, so as to present a
huge target for the guns of an enemy,
whether from the shore er from hostile
vessel. A monitor, like the Puritan,
cn the other hand, lies almost flush
with the sea, not exposing more than
thirty laches of free board. She can
not be seen at a distance of a mile and
a half, while by concentrating the fire
of her four twelve-Inch breech-loading
rifles upon any target, whethr a for
tress or a ship, she can blow lt to
pieces. She herself cannot be struck ef
fectively, and so It la Impossible to sink
her." These mouitoni are of light
draught and can enter any of our ports;
they do not cost anything like the enor
mous sume Invested in our battleships,
and they have fully demonstrated their
capabilities as fighting machines. The
first naval conflict may clearly provs
the want of effectiveness in the battle
ships, and, In fact, the science of naval
construction Is even now undergoing
such rapid changes that a modern ves
sel may become obsolete during the
three or four years required for her
construction. One new battleship has
been provided for by the present Con
grestt, and a bill has been presented for
the construction of another to take the
place of the Maine.

CIRCULATION WILL BE
ATTACKED.
f he Mtatr Banner of Currency Reform
Will t- oon Show It. True Colors-Ac-Acquittal
of Sheriff Martin Makes
Justice a Mockery.
Their Intention Known.
The campaign of the gold monometal
(ists Is well organized. The leaders,
good generals, do not publish their
plans. Secrecy Is a large part of their
itrength, and they do not Intend that
:helr followers shall know too quickly
what Is the end they wish to attain,
rhelr policy Is to make their ends as
unintelligible to their partisans as to
the others. Were this not so, tbey

l"-""' ,
sln'e Subterfuge and deception
" aujoug most potent weapons,
t b taken them many years to come
to the point where they deem It advlsa
ble to reveal to the public the fact that
they Intend to put their country so flrm
y on the gold basis that It ennnot gt
ff. Previous to this time they have
fought under the misty banner of "cur
rency reform."
The next Htep according to their plans
is the retirement of the greenbacks and
the substitution of a national bank cur
rency. It may reasonably be doubted
If tbey really care about any kind of a
ubstltutiou, even of national bank
notes. Their chief point is to get the
greenbacks out of the way. Let no
man delud himself with the Idea that
the plan of the gold men stops here.
The retirement of the greenbacks Is to
be followed by the retirement of all of
our silver dollars, sliver to be used only
as subsidiary coinn in the forms of frac
tional currency. The plot Is to follow
very closely the financial scheme of
Great Britain, having In circulation
only about one-fifth as much silver as
gold. Thus, the gold currency of Great
Britain was" put two years ago at $480,
000,000 and the circulation of sliver
was tll.l.OOO.O'KJ. This the currency re
formers of the United States point to as
a "safe" financial Rynteni. It Is the
logical outcome of a system based on
gold alone.
But for the preseut the uionoiiietal
lists dare not avow their Intentions In
this regard. The people would revolt
In such multitudes that their whole
icheme would be ruined. Before this
avowal cau be made two stejw are nec
essary. First to retire the greenbacks
Dn the plea that they are a endless
chain, always endangering the stability
of our system. After the retirement of
the greenbacks U to come the next step,
which Is to make all of our silver dirf
lars redeemable in gold. The cry of
endless chain will be raised as to silver,
as It. is now lieing raised as to green
backs. Ah we have had repeated runs
on the treasury by njeaaH of the green
backs we will see repeated runs on the
treasury by means of the silver dollars.
This will, in the minds of the conspiriu
tors, Justify them to the public In wag
ing a relentless war on our silver dol-
have known and a tightening on us of
the grip of the bondholder and of the
bond broker.
It Is a part of the philosophy of these
gentlemen that a big national debt Is a
national safeguard. In their writings
they have asserted more than once that
every great nation should have a great
debt, perpetual In Its characteristics,
and owned both at home and abroad.
They say that this will give not only
the rich men of their own country an
interest In the stability of the govern
ment, but make It to the Interest of for
eign citizens and foreign nations to
see that the said Indebted government
Is not overthrown. It also gives other
nations a pretext to Interfere In atse
of a domestic revolution. As an ex
ample of this we have England taking
possession of Egypt and crushing Arab!
Pusha, because English . bondholders
were afraid their bonds would not be
paid. A national debt Is an evil, and is
the most potent Influence in keeping
the heartless and barbaric "past ujkjh
iu throne." H. F. Thurston.

Such expressions as "sound money,"
"honest money," "the best money In the
world," etc., have a top-lofty sound, but
what do they mean? Ask some gold
shouter what he means by "sound
money" and he will tell you that he
means "honest money," "the best
money In the world." Ask him what he
means by honest money and he will
tell you that he means "sound money,"
"the best money In the world." Ask
him what be means by the "liest money
In the world" and he will tell you that
he means "sound money," "honest mon
ey." If we press him for a more spe
cific explanation he tells us that "sound
money" means gold, of course; that
honest money means dollars that are
"always worth a hundred cents," and
that the best money in the world Is
"the money that will buy the most."
When we urge hlrn still a little farther
and ask him why gold Is peculiarly
"sound money," he answers that the
gold dollar is "always worth 100 cents."
"But a 100 cents In what?" we ask,
and quickly as a flash comes the Intel
ligent response, "Why, a hundred cents
In gold, to be sure. Inasmuch as a dol
lar In gold snd a hundred cents In gold
are precisely the same thing, this Is
Kinlvalent to snylngthatgoldisbonest
money and honest money because a
gold dollar Is always worth a gold dol
lar. Then we ask hi in why the best
money Is the dollar that will buy the
most, snd he looks as If he thought we
were escaped lunatics, "Why," he an
swers, "anyone iwrt s fool ought 10
know that the beat doner Js the dollar
that win buy the most." "Certainly,"
we reply, "it Is the best dollar for those
who own or control the dollars and
hare more dollars than anything else;
but how about those who hare no lot
hire, or very fenv of them, but have
other things which they are anxlou to
exchange for dollars, snd who are In
debt? How about them? The more a

It requires to buy the dollar; do yoB
think that the "best dollar' for the debt

give the most which Is the most diffi
cult for him to get?" "Oh!" say a gold
ly, "now you are preaching repudia
tion." And he turns on bis heel In su
preme disgust at the pertinacious dis
honesty of those "wild-eyed silver
cranks." who really object to the pay
ing of debts, either public or private, on

Acquittal of Sheriff Martin.
The acquittal of Sheriff Martin, th
plutocratic hero of UazUton. was to
have been expected. Never yet In the
history of the United States, or for thai
matter any other country, have th
hired murderers of worklngmen bees
brought to Justice w hen arraigned be
fore a court. The slaughter of the met)
at liazleton was the most Infamous act
which resulted in the acquittal of Mar
ever committed under forms of law. II
has Its parallel under the Judicial faros

deputies.

unarmed mtners who marched peace

ever men were guilty of murder, they
were the deputies who poured volley

marchers.
The murder of these men snd the
farcical court proceedings resulting Is
the acquittal of tieir murderers Is per
fectly natural and Inevitable under the

When the election of 1WM; made Will-
lam McKlnley I"resldent of the United

free silver sentiment had lecn killed,
acting on this theory the advocates of
(old monometallism scrambled eagerly
tor the honor of proposing a plan to put
Ibis country on the gold basis. The self
ipK)inted monetary coin mission, tho
Indianapolis convention representing
the "best business interests," the House
Committee on Banking and Currency,
Secretary of the Treasury Gage, and
rveu President McKinley rushed out
plans and specifications designed to
please the money power.
But there lias leen a serious hitch In
the proceedings. Free silver sentiment
irose from the tomb atid danced tri
umphantly through the United States
Senate, w'hlle the people applauded.
Now it looks as though the House of
Representatives would !e captured by
the silver forces In next fall's elections,

It is abundantly proved by the evi
dence of Argentina witnesses that the
pHM-r dollar Is worth nearly. If not
quite, as much as ever for almost all
tho w heat growers' requirements; and,
therefore, It Is clear that the gold
premium is, as It has bct-n for years
past, equivalent to an enormous bonus
uisin the production of wheat for ex
port. lu reference to the evidence adverse
to bimetallism, the curious denial of
the appreciation of gold by Iord Karrar
is mentioned, while it is noticed that
fir HolH-rt G iff ell. the other principal
inoiiometalllst witness, admitted the
appreciation.
As to Ixird Farrar's declaration that
the abandonment of the gold standard
w ould be a cruel and a wicked robbery
of labor, ami that It would Iw little less
than wicked to persuade sjor farmers
that they would 1 better off with
"more counters," the commissioners re
mark that If, as Ixrd Karrar had main
tained, prices had uot ln-eii affected by
changes iu the stauda-'i, it is not clear
how the reversal of those changes could
rob lalxjr; while if the changes would
tend toward a rise In prices, they fail
to perceive the wickedness of persuad
ing farmers that they would benefit
thereby.
Moreover, they point out that some
of the allegations of Lord Karrar are In
conflict with statements In t lie report of

Golfl Munilard i:ffc.
The efforts of Great Britain to de
press the bullion value of silver were
fruitless for nearly seventy yearn be
cause France kept her mints open for
free coinage, thus demonstrating the
ability of a single country to maintain
the parity of the two metals aguinst
the world. The United States Is much
stronger financially than was France
at that time.
It was greatly to the Interest of the
money lenders to have silver demone
tized and gold made the only standard,
bwause there Is not gold enough In cir
culation In the whole world to pay one
dollar in a hundred of the debts.
It Is therefore easily cornered and
gives the banks the power at pleasure
to squeeze debtors, create panics, re
duce values and rake In the wreckage
they have caused to the extent of huu-
dreds of millions at a time.
The shrinkage of values In the United
States alone since tho demonetization
of silver in 1873 is estimated by Senator
Chandler as not less than sixteen bil
lions of dollars, or Ave times the cost
of the civil war, but this does not In
clude the loss of wealth by curtailment
of production, in consequence of under
consumption, due to the pauperization
of the laboring cia sses and their conse
quent Inability to purchase, very fre
quently, even the food required to sus
tain life.
Why was silver demonetised If such
serious consequences were known to bo
the probable results?
Tie story of the demonetization of sil
ver discloses one ot the most stupen
dous crimes ever perpetrated In the
history of nations. The demonetiza
tion In the United States was the result
of fraud and without the knowledge or
approval of Congress or the President.
