UNCLE SAM— “Not much, John. We are going to have a new deal."

long refused to receive Canadiap silver coins, not because of any doubt that the Dominion Government would redeem them at their face value, but because of the trouble and expense attendant upon sending them home for redemption. So with the Montreal railways. A large amount of United States coin is taken into Canada by tourists, and the reason above given sufficiently accounts for thg recent order.—Youngstown Vindicator? Silence Is Golden. It is announced by Mr. Hanna that Major McKinley will not speak again during this campaign. The gentleman shows good judgment. In the speech which he recently made he passed over the subject of silver and devoted himself to the tariff—as to which he observed that were it amended so as to accord more closely with the McKinley act, it would raise the price of all commodities. This is the cold idea that a true American, if he put his soul in the work, can lift himself up by the waistband of his breeches. No wonder Mr. Hanna put a seal on the Major’s mouth. In order to conciliate the manufacturers, whose contributions to the campaign fund are essential, a plank was put in the platform at St. Louis indorsing protection. But practical politicians knew that this was merely pro forma. It would be impossible to-day to get an audience to listen to a speech in favor of Republican protection. That gabble has had its day. Time was when it helped to carry elections, but that time has passed. Every Intelligent American now understands that the revision of the tariff is a scientific question to be effected according to the rules of economical science, without regard to the exigencies of party. When Congress has the leisure and is in the humor to recast the tariff in a shape which shall be a finality and shall Impart stability to trade, the subject will be intrusted to a committee embracing members of all parties, distinguished for their familiarity with economical problems. The report of such a committee would probably provoke little controversy, and the propositions embraced in it would not be considered party questions.—San Francisco Examiner. To Use the Government's Option. William Jennings Bryan will not have been in the presidential office a week before he will have Issued an order directing the executive departments to use the option resting with the Government to redeem bonds and Government paper in silver or gold. Thus with one blow will be dispatched the, gold bond python that is crushing the life out of the country’s credit.—Wheeling Register. Hanna’s Third Ticket Scheme, It is hardly necessary for Mr. Hanna to announce that he is in favor of the third ticket movement, which some have started. It does not need a Yankee to guess as much. Anybody can see that It is a little device to help McKinley and the syndicate to which he belongs. Hanna need neither tell anybody that he proposes to use some of the syndicate’s money to help along this third ticket scheme, nor need he take the trouble of denying that he is doing so. The people understand his rela-

tions to It quite well. No true Democrat will be deceived by this third ticket scheme, and Hanna presumably does not expect that anyone can be. He doubtless merely intends to give employment to the professional orators who are always willing to espouse the cause of the highest bidder, but whjm he cannot very well employ to talk for McKinley direct. Hie plan is to keep these gentlemen under his thumb, and if they can keep the Bryan and Bewail vote down even a little bit, so much the better. Not Fair Play and Bad Politics, The efforts of certain New York papers to drag Mrs. Bryan into politics, as bossing her husband's views and utterances, is discreditable to fair pray, and decidedly bad politics.—Philadelphia Item. Hanna Onght to Blnsh. So they are “frying the fat" out of the poor day laborers In B. F. Jones' Iron works. With millions on millions to draw on, even Hanna ought to blush at that.—Winona Herald. la the Major Afraid? So Major McKinley proposes to do all his speech making In his own front yard. Can ft tie that he is afraid to go away from home and Hanna?—Boston Globe. Small Shot. Bleeding Kansas refuses to be bled for Wall street any longer. Eckels Is for McKinley. Thus do the hopes of little Napoleon fade day by day. Dick Blahd says Bryan’s New York speech was a winner and what he says goes. Some of the Chicago bicyclists are forming McKinley dubs. It’s a bad case of wheels. Chicago is a good storm center. Besides, Governor Altgeld lives there, and in an emergency he is worth several ordinary men. Mr. Thurston might learn a valuable lesson from his compatriot, J. Pound Sterling Morton. Morton hasn’t said anything for several days. The single standard people are fast reaching that point of forgetfulness where they refer to 1802 as a year when the land flowed with milk and honey. McKinley will never undertake a joint debate with Bryan. It’s all very well to say his friends won't let him. None of them are holding off any harder than he is. If the Wall street bankers can keep the gold reserve up for nothing during a Presidential campaign, why should they receive 120,000,000 for the same service at other times? Judging from the columns devoted to showing that Mr Bryan’s Madison Square speech was no good, we judge that it was one of the most effective addresses ever delivered; The American people don’t like a campaign of cowardly Insinuation. They will maka it react against its originator. Consequently we hope Mr. Thurston will keep on talking about Bryan. The New York World says Bryan has made it clear “he stands squarely on the Chicago jlatform.” He is the kind of man the people have been looking for. They know where to find him.
