There is danger that the demand fern n fcik'ral Incoiui ! tax may bu lost in the Blnillle. Seiuitor Oorinan appears to be enjoy ing an enforcotl retirement from tin ; cares of active participation in the cam paign. . How Is tlie school board oinj ; to meet Its current expenses ? Is It by Issuing more Interest-bearing war rants ? The very sight of a banker Is enough to throw a free silver fanatic Into con vulsions , always providing he is not a banker who unnts to pay his depositors In 50-cent silver dollars. According to the city attorney , Omaha Is presumed to be without water works. ISut the city and citizens appear to be supplying themselves with water with out so much as "by your leave" to the .water company. Only three years ago Mr. llryaifs organ was denouncing "the 1 to 10 fal lacy" and saying that It was practi cally a thing of the past If this was so , how can 1 ( > to t free coinage now be no longer a fallacy ? Omaha handled the Young People's Christian Union convention to the sat isfaction of all concerned. Is'o national convention need hesitate coining to Omaha for fear of Inadequate- accommo dations or an inhospitable reception. Local church workers have received a perceptible stimulus from the meeting of the Young People's Christian union In this city. Activity in religious cir cles ought to show the good effects of the late convention for some time to come. What about the Kolln bond ? The city Is very sorely pushed for money. How much longer is that deficit to remain in 'the treasury ? These questions are con stantly asked by taxpayers , and re spectfully referred to the mayor and council. Mr. Bryan says he Is convinced 10 to 1 free coinage would bring the market price of silver up to ? 1.20 an ounce. Hut he does not say how In that case the poor debtor Is going to be able to Ret silver dollars any easier than he I now gets gold dollars. The Chinese have the reputation of lielng born diplomats. The clever suc cess which Til Hung Chang has made of keeping the Ilrltlsh In the dark as to his Intentions with regard to China's for eign policy Is only additional proof that that reputation Is deserved. A writer In one of the leading eastern papers asserts that It cyan looks at least ten years older than he really Is. If Ills eastern trip has really worked such n change In his appearance he may have to get nriiiialntqd with his friends again when he returns home. Mr. Sewall persists In professing ig norance as to what ho Is here 1'or. If lie Is not prepared to help the cause : along with the generous contributions for which he was counted on , he ought to quit and make way 'for some one * who Is not only willing but anxious to pay for the fun. Great Itrltaln still has a most timely opportunity to apply the principles of International arbitration enunciated by Lord Chief Justice KusM-11 to the set tlement of the Veuexiielaii boundary dispute. If Crcat Itrltaln will bring Itself to the point of admitting that , ' there Is something to arbitiate , It ought not to take long to arrive at homu kind ' of a satisfactory arrangement. , ' ' The Hour millers of Nebraska meet .

There are pome honest money demo crats who profess to desire the elec tion of McKlnley , but are sorely trou bled about the tariff attitude of the republican candidate. Every reference that he makes to protection displeases them and they would like to have him omit all mention In his letter of accept ance of the policy of which he Is the most conspicuous representative. Some of them even go so fnr as to demand that McKlnley shall give them assur ance that he will not , In the event of his election , make any effort to secure a revision of the tariff In the direction of protection , as a condition to their voting for him. They profess to earn estly desire the success of the sound money cause and they know that this can only be accomplished by the elec tion of the republican ticket , but they are so fearful that something may bo done for protection that they doubt whether they should vote for Me- Klnley. Probably nil this class of democrats , and It Is Impossible to say how numer ous they are , will bo able to satisfy their consciences by voting ) for the can didates of the national democracy who will be nominated at Indianapolis , but In any event It Is certain that they will not bo Invited to support the repub lican nominees by any surrender or compromise of the principle of protec tion to American Industries and Ameri can labor. Major McKlnley stands upon a platform which declares for protec tion nnd reciprocity , ns well as for an honest dollar , That Is republican faith , It Is what the masses of the republican party want and Major McKiniey was nominated for the presidency because he Is recognized by his party as the foremost exponent of that policy. To auk that ho shall now desert this great cause , so necessary to sustain the gov ernment and to promote the welfare and prosperity of the people , Is to ask him to be faithless to the trust which his party has reposed in him and to his own record and If he were capable of doing this he would bo utterly un worthy of the confidence of any class of his countrymen. The republican party and its candidate will welcome the support of honest money demo crats. They recognize the value of such support. But they cannot Invite It by the sacrifice of a cardinal principle of the party which every true republican believes to be vital to the future prog ress of the country and the prosperity of all classes of the people. 11UKK S3IIT1I HKTIltKS. The resignation of Mr. Ilokc Smith ns secretary of the interior was a very proper thing for him to do under the circumstances and President Cleveland did well in promptly accepting the res ignation. It appears that the ox-secre tary Is somewhat reticent In the matter of explaining the motive for leaving the cabinet , but it Is not of very great importance , sinceas a factor in politics Mr. Smith l.s not likely to cut much of a ligure. He was raised from ob scurity when made sncretary of the interior and It Is pretty safe to say that It will not take him a great while to get back to obscurity. Mr. Smith made a campaign for the United States sen ate , advocating the gold standard , and was defeated. It Is said ho promised that In the event of his defeat he would support the nominee of the Chicago con vention and that he feels bound by that promise. It is to be presumed that Mr. Smith expected the nomination of a democrat. Mr. Bryan is a populist. Had the convention nominated a free silver republican Mr. Smith would un doubtedly have felt absolved. The nom ination of a populist gave him equal warrant for feeling so. Hence the ex planation offered In behalf of Mr. Smith is weak and Inadequate. But as we have said , It is not important. The ex-secretary can do the popocratic ticket no good outside of Georgia and that state Is generally regarded as safe for Bryan. QUKIIIKS AJIOUT SILVKII. KRVSTONK , S. D. , Aug. 21. To the Kdt- tor of The Hue : In your last weekly edition notice a dispatch announcing that Canada f has been discriminating against our silver money. As tills Is to ho a campaign of education , I want to know : 1 , Is tliero a dollar In gold backing every silver dollar under our present money sys tem ? 2. Can I take a 110 silver certificate to tbo United States treasury and demand and get gold for It ? , 3. If not , do you consider this a safe anil sound dollar ? 4 , Could money lenders take advantage at the exception clause and bring silver down 47 per cent , or In other words , depreciate our Hllver money. KUQENE AKIN. It Is true that some Canadian banks are refusing to accept Ameri can silver dollars at par. While wo do not know their motive , the presumption Is that they fear a pos sible change in our money s'andard ' that would reduce us to a sll\er basis iiul send gold to a high premium. First. There Is not a dollar In gold In the treasury backing every silver dollar lar coined by the United States. There never has beeiTany Intention to keep a leserve of gold with \vhlch to redeem sil ver dollars. The parity of gold and sll- for coius has been maintained by the government hy limiting coinage , making silver dollars receivable for ill dues nnd debts public and private ind by redeeming all government obli gations in gold or the equivalent of 'old. Second. A ? 10 silver certlflcato calls 'or ten silver dollars , just as a $10 gold | 'ertltlcate calls for ten gold dollars. 1'he certificates are Issued against the v 'oin on deposit , and therefore redeem- . , ible only in the coin which they ropre- , . lent. , , Third. So long as gold docs not go a premium silver certificates are as oed as any other money , If gold were ego ton premium thry would pass only net many sliver dollars. Fourth. The talk about money lend- 'rs bearing sliver down 47 per cent Is he veriest rot , All the money lenders the world combined could not have rought silver down -17 cents on the lollar If ( hero had not been such an 'mormons increase la the volume of liver production in recent years , jf coupled with the reduction In the cost of producing It. The price of silver Is not regulated by the United States alone. It depends upon the supply nnd demand of the entire world. The money lenders get nothing out of the fall In the price of silver. They do not speculate In silver or In any other commodity. They loan money at In terest and seek simply -to get back what they loan to reloan It. The only reason why they exact gold notes for gold loans Is that they may have as surance that the borrower will pay back money of the same value that he borrowed. So long as gold does not go to a premium the money lender ac cepts repayment In any kind of current money. SUMH AhMIMJNH Sr. Kverybody Is aware of the fart that there Is greater depression In the gen eral business of the country than tliero was before the Chicago convention. There Is less Industrial activity , more Idle labor and the movement of com merce Is nioro sluggish. Everybody except the least Intelligent of the free silver people , knows why this Is so. Its explanation Is In the widespread dis trust which the free silver agitation has created ami which may be expected to Increase In Intensity throughout * the campaign. There are some rather alarming symp toms of tlie apprehension that exists. Tlie dispatches report that the eastern banks are rapidly losing deposits , which shows that their depositors are pre paring to protect themselves against tlie danger that menaces the monetary sys tem of the country. It Is understood that remittances to a considerable amount have been made to 1011 rope and to Canada and this movement Is likely to be largely expanded , unless there should be a very marked subsidence of the sliver craze. It Is not the banks that are doing tills , but the creditors of the banks the people who put their nipney in those Institutions and who do not want to run the risk1 of having It returned to them in the near future In a depreciated currency. Of course in these circumstances the banks are compelled to curtail loans and to ad vance rates of interest , which operates to tlie serious embarrassment of tlie business community. Bankers loa'i other people's money and when de positors withdraw it the banks have no alternative but to stop loaning. It Is perfectly obvious that if this sort of tiling keeps on for the next two months we shall iiave before the end of that time a very serious situation , from which all classes of the people will suffer. The free silver agitation has cost tlie country a pretty generous sum in the few weeks since the Chicago convention. It threatens to be vastly more expensive In tlie time before the day of election and if the result should be favorable to that policy who that has any Intelligent Idea of practical af fairs can doubt that there would be the severest financial disturbance this country has ever known ? What Is already being manifested should Indicate to sensible people what would inevitably take place If Mr. Bryan and a free silver congress should be elected. Disorder and disaster would not wait upon their induction Into olllce. These would break upon the country witii terrible violence within twenty-four hours after the elec tion. The treasury would lose Its gold as rapidly as It could be drawn out and as it would undoubtedly be Im possible to sell bonds to replenish the reserve the government would in n Short time bo forced to suspend sold payments. The retirement of gold would be in effect a contraction of the currency to the extent to which gold Is now performing the function of money , while all the circulation would be depreciated , just how much it is impossible to foresee. At tlie name time maturing loans and mortgages would be called In , foreign Investments would be thrown on the market and credit would be destroyed. In such a situation the greatest sufferers would be the producers and the wage earners. A convulsion of this kind would lilt the farmer and the worklngman harder than any other classes of the people , becans" ( they ' are the least able lo protect them selves from Its effects , a c The Intelligent and prudent man will look at existing facts and study their meaning. Whoever shall do this with a mind open lo conviction cannot fall to conclude that these portend grave disaster in the event of free silver suc cess. The carpenters' union has made In J rpilry of the .State Hoard of Agriculture y to learn why but 1 per cent of the s workmen at the fair grounds are resident - A dent mechanics. The Inquiry Is couched In temperate language and In entitled a and will doubtless receive ! Vrespectful | reply. Omaha carpenters and workingmen - K men are Justly entitled to a better rep a resentation than has been given. Jlased on proportionate taxation this county would bo entitled to at least 30 per cent of the force of workmen , to say nothing of population , nor of the money put into the fair by Omaha a year ago. It may , however , bo premature to a. criticise the hoard In this matter , for the greater number of employes are yet to be engaged for service during the fair. If Douglas county men shall be given equitable representation on the pay roll there can be no Just cause for complaint. Nobody expects the.local coal dealers to , do business at a loss , but the heavy advance In the price of hard coal will work a very great hardship upon the : people of this clly. There 1 no gootl reason why the price should be raised to $10.50 for September delivery In vle\v of the fact that the great bulk of the supply was j nt Into the bins here > nt a cost not exceeding $7.r > 0 per ton. s al Protest , of course , will avail nothing , lint consumers can burn soft coal in tl greater proportion , and thus In a ' , ineasuro checkmate thu greed of the : . local trust.

The sIlveF ngltalors who Insist on free coinage upon TUB DISHONEST HATIO OF ljQ ; 10 and refuse to accept It upon the honest ratio of 1 to 2 , ' arc very anxious to delude the public Into the belief that the demand for more cur- rency anil the demand for coinage upon the ratio of 1 to 10 are Identical. They brand as goldbugs all who decline to advocate Rl-ccnt silver dollitra * In truth,1hbwever , the only honest blmetalllst Is he who believes In the free coinage of gold1 and silver , each taken at its market value and so coined that 100 cents worth of gold shall bo In the gold dollar and 100 cents worth of sil ver shall be In the silver dollar. The blmctanist who advocates free coinage of gold and silver on a ratio of 1 to L'5 Is as much a believer In an Increase In the circulating medium as the man wbo demands coinage on the ratio of 1 to 10 , The sllverltes In Chicago need not arrogate to themselves the champion- fllilp of an Increased currency.

The Feast of Olympla alone will attract many thousands of people. The populist campaign managers In tend to conllue the work of their literary bureau almost exclusively to the dis tribution of frankable matter. They will therefore send out nothing but speeches of populist congressmen , on which they will compel Uncle Sam to pay the postage.

Minneapolis Tribune. The National lilmctalllst "lets the cat out of the bag" In the Mowing style : " 1'rlor to 1873 the Mexican dollar was worth 5 cents moro than the American gold dollar , and about 1 cent moro than onr sil ver dollar. Now , It is well known that our sliver mostly went abroad , where It was worth 3 or 4 cenls moro for coinage , and what metallic money w s lint ! was mostly gold. Why WBH that not rqu'-Hy true of Mexico ? How was It that she coined largo amounts of tllvtr right alo.ig and used It In , her currency. It was simply bcacuso gold was not legal tender. Mexico was on silver basis , and all of her business trans actions were In silver , and she Is right thcro yot. prospering as she never did before. " The plain logic Is that a silver basis Is the best thing for a country. The Ameri can Ulmetalllst pretends to favor bimetal lism , but HUe all olher free silver advo cates , the whole force of its logic is In favor 3f silver monometallism. And the above Is virtually an aciyipwledgmeut that it prefers silver basis. ; p . AN IMI'OSSIIIMS 1)01 , 1.AH. lluril FnrlNi"AJ | > on Ili-yan'u Vet Wi . , - fc Jerk World.

The countr. has been experlmeullng with sliver fo eighteen years and every cxperlmenl ha failed lo accomplish what Ihe bupporlers o silver claimed. Under free silver coinage by the Unltei Stales , unaided and alone , Mr. Uryan assert that nn ounce of silver , yesterday worth C cents , will bo worth $1.29. The reason wh ; silver Is worth CG cents an ounce now in stead of $1.29 is because there Is so tnuc moro silver than any connlry or counlrle will use for money. Let Iho United Slate use It , abserts Mr. nryan , and silver wll advance In price lo a level with sold. Her s an article towlt , silver low In price be cause It Is not wanted. Use. It and It wll rise. rise.This This Is simple. If the United States ha < no experience it might bo convincing. Th United States has. How much does Mr nryan expect the United States to usa so as to I advance the price of silver to par ? He said i lu New York , after denying that sllve already i produced would come here , whicl is a clear assumption , without an atom o : proof , ho continued : " \\'o cannot oven expect all of the annua product ] of silver , because India , ' "ulna , Ju pan ] , Mexico and all the other silver-using countries < must satisfy their annual needs from ] thu annual product. The arts will re qulro a largo amount and the gold standan countries will need a considerable quantity for subsidiary coinage. We will bo ruqulrec to coin only that which Is not needed else where , but , If wo stand ready to talto ami utilize all of It , other nations will be com pelled to buy at the prlcu which wo lix. " Mr. lryan ! was judiciously vague. Ho used tow figures In his speech. Hut the coinage question Is a question of exact facls and figures. There Is no guessing about it. The sliver product of t"o worlc Is known. In 1895 It was 174,790,875 ounces. Mr. Dryan asserts that less than this would come to the United Stales. How much less ho docs not know Neither ho nor any one eUo knows. India has stopped coining sll vcr altogether. Whatever the other coun tries use , Mr. Ilryan asserts that If the United States will take what Is left of the average annual product , so that all the 170,000,000 ounces Is used somehow , sil ver will come to par. This Is exactly what was promised In 1890 by the advocates of the act of July 15 , 1S90 , which proposed to buy 4,500,000 ounces per month. Senator Stewart , June 13 , 1S90. said In urging this bill : "I think if we could buy and coin $4 , 000.000 worth per month , It would place silver BO uearly upon a parity with gold upon the ratio of 1C to 1 that everybody would bu willing to take the final step , that all would sou tliero waa no danger. I think 4,500,000 ounces a month would cer tainly put silver to par. " This was done. For three years the United States bought 4,500,000 ounces a month. In addition , the Indian inlntu coined In 1S90 , $03,000,000 ; In 1891-2 , $27,000 , 000 , nnd In 1892-3. $03,000,000 , or $155,000- 000. This was 120,000,000 ounces , or 40- 000,000 ounces a year , With this thu bul lion value of a ullver dollar averaged 81 cents in 1890 and CO cents In 1893. This happened In three years , in which the United Stales and India between them were taking up fully two-thirds of the world's silver product na It wna then. The fall In price was not utopped , It went on Just the same. Yet Mr nrynn is now Just as ready to predict as was Senator Stewart In 1890. Why should ho bo believed ? From 1890 to 1893 India and the United States were both absorbing silver , and the value of a dollar fell from 81 to CO cents. How can the United States alone raise Us value from 53 enlB to $1 by absorbing & little mure liver than both did then ? Co nil ilc n fit In llriiNiiii.
