THE SILVER QUESTtC*.

lit isatters of international policy neither this nor any other country dares to act in deliberate antagonism to its neighbours. The comity cB entioos requires that no Power should follow » course damaging, direotlv or indirectly, to the interest of, a, country with which it is at peace. At the same time, we seem to be shaping toward# fteouvaet-hioh may bring us inio awkward conGicL jrlth tho |)opularsentADDeat, if not with thogovemUlg. powers of countries with whom we holvX politically friendly relations. In another columa "Q print extracts from a speech made in th® Amorican Senate the, other day by Mr; Doa Comoron, who re- ~esente PenDeyh-ania. Th* gist of Mr. Ca ^rotj’s contention was that the English p "icy on the all-absorbing monetary question is directly antagonistic to American interests, and that the United Status must throw off tho influence of English! ideas if she means to maintain the steady march of her prosperity. There have not been wanting, of late, indications of growing irritation with thia country for itsdog-in-the-maugerattitu Jo towards a question that is convulsing two continents, and gravely compromising the future of the poorer Btates in Europe. This feeling has been voiced in America by Senator Lodge, whoso proposal to virtually shut out Hrftish'goocls from’theUnited States until wo should assent to ft bimetallic convention, though extreme and absurd, indicates the trend of sentiment on the other .side of tho Atlantic. Mr. Camerom. is much milder, and makes war rather on those; who acclimatise English ideas in America thaaon this country; but tho eontimont has tho Eaipo)

origin in both cases.

Senator Lodge is not a silver man in theaisu&l sense, being opposed out and-out to free coinage in tho United States under existing conditions,. and, therefore, bis views, though tinged with strong feeling, may attract more attention here than thoso of the pronounced silverites. Mr. Lodge is, very bitter about tho failure of fhe Brussels conference of last year, where the attitude of tho Liritish otbcial delegates was scarcely 1 oss than discourteous ” to the United Sta tes,and ho believes that nine-tenths of th»< American

A feeling cl thi*

people regard it in that light. A foe

kind is not to bo lightly ignored. We hav» frequent diplomatic diflerencos with the Unitoi States; but, as a rule, there is seldom asst*; elated with thoso any sense of animus between the peoples of Ibe two countries, and such squabbles pass over and are forgotten, .-But now its are encouraging the growth of a feeling thsft on a question which a fleets the prosperity $f. millions of individual Americans this country is inclined to entertain views unfriendly to the States. ^ We know, of course, that the Unfriendliness is accidental, and that our monotary policy is controlled by purely selfish con« sldemtions—so purely selfish that we do noV mind.,seeing'’ India suffering from nor actioll ipuch moro than America does. The American# are sufficiently old-fashioned to believe that! itiflihs part of a friend to show himself friendly, and wheb this country turns a deaf ear to tho 1 nlalnt of half the world, including all the NeV \Varld,they,not unnaturally,take itunkindly. li is ngt for us to say whether the feeling of irriUtiou is wholly justified or not; it exists, and that is tho main point, Moreover, it is taking a shape that may entail very awkward cense* quencas on us. The recent proposal to com JdT^lcan dollars in San Franoisco was a bid towards giving us an object lessen by ousting os from our commanding position in Eastern

trade,

Senator Cameron points a plain moral when bo remarks that if the United States would venture to cut herself adrift frt>m Europe ahd take outright to silver, she would have ell America and Asia at her beck, and would conLmand the markets of both Continents. ‘’The, " barrier of gold would be more fatal than any “ barrier of a custom-house! Tho bond of silvep “ would be stronger than any bond of free “ trade.’’ There can be no doubt about it, that) if the United SCates were to adopt a silken basis to-morrow, Brilieh trade would be ruined before the veav was out. Every American industry would be protected, not only nLiiomj*: but in every other market. CT co-arse, the States would suffer to a certain'extent t la rough naving to pay her obligations abroad in gold f but the loss on exchange under this head would be a mere drop in the bucket comnared with tha profits tq be reaped from the markets of South. America and Asia,, to say nothing of Europe. The marvel is that the United States has not' long ago seized the opportunity, and but for the belief that the way of England is necessarily the way to commprcir.l aucoess and prosperity, undoabtedlyit wouldhave been done longa^y ’Kow, American^ are .awakening Oo tho fact that* " Belong as they narrow their ambition to be44 coming n largsr Epgland ” they cannot bea6 j It has been & piece of hick for us

CHURCH EXTENSION.

Embarrassment of tho Work Urdor tho Gold Standard.

Ilev. Dr. A. J. Ky»i«*tt, of PbiltTilotphla t ^4 ho Has C'h.*rffe of t h*i Mctiiodlst Church Extrusion Fuiul« Snj's the \bork Ha* lit*on Seriously llludcretl by the Dimubc of Sliver. Advocates of the gold standard, in their attempts to array the church on their side of the final i-ial issue, are promptly met by tin managers of church enterprises then.m Ives in refutation of their claims ns to how church work would !«- disastrously affected by the free coinage of silver. We take pleasure in reproducing in this connection the following article from Itev. Dr. A. J. Kynett, of Philadelphia, who lias charge of the church extension work of tiie Methodist church throughout the country. The article is taken from Christianity in Earnest, which is published by the church for the special purpose of aiding the work of church extension. “Churches Affected by Silver—Their extension work seriously interfered with.” In a heated political campaign all parties gather all sorts of arguments in support of their views. This is well for an “educational campaign," as intelligent people will be thereby assisted to right conclusions. This requires, however, that when anything unauthorized or false appears it should be promptly challenged. An article, under the above heading, drawing the churches in for partisan uses has been going the rounds of the papers. We now find it quoted, with implied approval, in Zion’s Herald, of August 20, from the New York Sun of August 22. Jt is too long to quote, but we feel called upon to refer to certain passages in it. It says: “The Methodists have about $1,000,000 which is used for church extension throughout the country, under the direction of Rev. A. J. Kynett, of Philadelphia. This money is loaned on niorgnges on church edifices throughout the oountiy, at a low rate of interest. Much of this money is loaned in the west, and the struggling new churches have, through the hard times which have followed the agitation for free silver, in many instances been unable to meet their mortgage obligations. The result has been that the work of the church extension has l>cen greatly hindered, and the mission fund will have to remain idle to tide the new churches over this distressing jjeriod. The churchmen have not been at a loss to place the blame for this condition of affairs, where it belongs, on the free silver agitators. * * * Of course the proposition to pay one-hundred-cent debts with fifty-three-cent dollars is a moral question which might well arouse the religious element of the nation in opposition.” Similar statements are made rs to the church edifice fund of the Baptist Home Mission society; also the Presbyterian Board of Missions. The impression sought to be made is that the free silver agitators are, by these churchmen, held responsible for the embarrassed conditions referred to. Those in charge of the church funds can answer for themselves, or allow the statements to pass unchallenged. On questions of fact, as related to Methodist church extension, I speak officially. In matters of opinion, on which persons composing the management may differ, I speak only for my-

self.

On questions of fact I have to say that our treasurer's reports for years past indicate no great change in the condition of churches borrowing, until within the last four years, and, \\ th the exception of that period, the difficulty alluded to 1ms been of gradual growth. There is no greater acuteness of the trouble perceptible as a result .of “free silver agitation.” The interest received on loans was greater in 1893 than in 1894 and the same is true of the amount of irons returned, and the present indications render it probable that the receipts of loons returned and of interest during 1896 will be about equal to those of 1895, and In excess of those of 1894. I find, in the facts shown by the treasurer's report, absolutely na justification for the statement that “the blame for this condition of things belongs with the free silver agitators,’’ Sow, as to questions of opinion, I speak solely for myself. Tire difficulty with our Methodistehurches, including those indebted to us for loans, that has resulted in the serious embarrassment of missionary, church extension nnd other benevolent work, arises cut of the great reduction that has taken place within the last 20 years in the value of farm lands and farm products and the paralysis of manufacturing end mining industries throughout the country. Chinches indebted to our loan fund are chiefly in farming, manufacturing and mining communities, and, of course, suffer in their abllily to pay debts or make benevolent contributions. Whatever may have been the cause of this gr«at reduction it has been coincident with the disuse of silver nnd the establishment of a single gold standard. This general condition is at tlie same time the cause of our ombarnussments, and of the free sliver agitation. It is an outrageous and cruel wrong to accuse directly or by implication, the great bcF of the people thus embarrassed and seeking relief, with dishonesty, or with n disposition to repudiate any obligation, personal, corporate, or of the state or nation. To demand payment of old obligations in money of a now and higher standard of value is worse than Shylock, for it is not “so nominated in the bond.” These debts are all payable in “coin" or in “lawful money of the United States,” and the creditor lias no right to demand payment in gold. When, in 1893, we. were constrained to liorrow $50,000 to lend distressed churches, five out of the six of the money lending corporations to

wTiTTh we first applied wrivted obligations payable in coitn We simply auj s we red: "t ientleim n, lawful money of • ’he United Suites is good enough fot . us, and ought to be for you. We will g;ve no gold com obligations.” Such i ve have never asked, and never will.

con; I i' r *'

“To coin money and regulate its I value” is the constitutional right of the American people, by them verted in ' congress, and should not be invaded by

vtite contracts or otherwise.

On questions of policy, or the last possible relief from existing conditions, we think nnd let think. We make no partisan plea. Our plea is for charity, thoroughness, honesty and courage. Neither partisan clamor, nor abusive epithet, nor self-assumed and self asserted honesty, soundness, or anything of the kind, should weigh a feather with intelligent nnel patriotic American citiz< ns. The partisan slogan “sound money," "honest dollars" is u buhl begging of the question and an offense of millions of men as honest as the sun ever shone on. The intensity of factional and partisan spirit is truly a revelation of the magnitude of the : issue and of the interests involved, i Honest money must mediate impartially between debtor and creditor. , The terms and history- of the promise to pay- must have due recognition. If the creditor, after the relation is established, acquires control of gold bullion he has no right to ask that coinage be I limited to gold. If the debtor acquires control of silver he lias no right to demand freer coinage of silver than existed when his debt was incurred. I The law of immutable righteousness, i therefore, requires that the govern- ' ment, under which the relation of deht- | or nnd creditor exists, shall “coin i money nnd regulate its value.” i Money so coined and regulated, whether gold or silver or both, is “sound” and ; “honest money” and neither debtor nor j creditor can justly complain of n 1 nw | which makes it a legal tender for debts, i So far as the administration of our j church extension work is concerned we shall do our best, under the unavoid- | able difficulties, and will give those indebted to our loan fund the best possible opportunity to meet their obligations. We will most gladly receive in full payment of principal and interest the So-called “53-eent dollars,” or any other lawful money of the United

States.

THE VICIOUS CLERGY.

Mr. Bryan Hauls a Class of Preachers Over the Coals.

He Declared They Are Mitllgnlng; the Poor an«l Degrading the Pulpit When They Denounce tho Common People h« AnarchlstH—The Church and the liold Standard.

Ihileigh, N. C., Sept. 18. — Candidate Bryan completed a great day’s labor in Nash's park here last night by making a speech in condemnation of thoso preachers who are degrading the pulpit by espousing the cause of the dishonest money sharks against silver. He said: “I could stand any appeal made by the advocates of the gold standard to almost any class better than an appeal made to the preachers and teachers of religion. If there is one thing that the church people of this country- could afford to array themselves against it is the gold standard as it is being advocated by the American people at this time. (Applause.) And yet the republican party is appealing to church people to take their place on the side of the gold standard. “How things have changed in the last 1800 years! Look at the people who head the gold standard propaganda in the United States. Look at the bondbonding class and the money changers classes, the brokerage classes of New York, who are trying to fasten a gold standard upon the people of this country—not openly, but secretly nnd in disguise, and then turn back 1800 years, when the meek and lowly Saviour threvv the same kind of people out of His tern pie In-enuse they hud made Ills home a den of thieves (great applause), and then think that these people come and appeal to the ministers of the Gospel and the church papers to save them from the wrath to come. (Laughter and ap plause.) “My friends, when certain ministers of the Gospel denounce the great mass of people who stand behind free coinage, when these ministers have denounced these advocates of free coinage and have taken their plnci s upon the side of these great aggregates of wealth, I remind them that when the Saviour was here it was the common people who heard Him gladly—these very jieople whom these ministers to-day call anarchists and socialists. (Great aplauso.) “My friends, when 1 find—there arc not many of them, but they are quite conspicuous—when I find these men easting their lot upon that side and exhausting abusive language in their description of the great masses of the people of this country, I feel like saying to them that if they will take their chances vv ith Dives, I will risk my chances with Lazarus. (Great applause.) This money question is a question which concerns every Bnc of you and you have a right to consider what has been done and what will be done and then decide whether you want to support the present financial policy ornot. When prices arc falling and money Is rising a ninn can better afford to lock his money up in a vault and gain the rise rather than invest his money in property and risk a loss in the value of the property. “You are mak'ng the property not worth having, and everybody Is trying to turn property into money. And while the gold standard lasts thatcondi tion must remain and times must, be hard, and hard times means more idle men, nnd more idle men means more destitute men, and more destitute men means at last more criminal men, nnd yet the gold standard men appeal to the ministry to increase crime.” (Great applause and cheering.)

MONUMENT FOR A COW.

Lawsuit at.Galesburg Which Has Peculiar Features. Justice Holcomb hud a curious cose before him at Galesburg, HI., the other day. Mrs. Mabel Davis had an old monument which she intended to make use of by planting it at the head of her hus-' band when he would make his final departure from earthly scenes. In un evil moment she cast an envious eye on a fine oow which she liked better than the prospect of soon making use of the head stone, so she made a dicker with the owner of the sleek, wellfed milker, with the result that she traded the useless marble shaft for the cow, even up. Then it was that her liege lord got his “mud" up and offered one Ralph Scott $2.50 if he would procure a buyer for the cow. Soon a purchaser was forthcoming, nnd the gentle specimen of the klne tribe was led off, and $40 less $2.50 found lodgment in Mr. Davis’ pocW-t. Now comes Mrs. Davis, who deposeth. that ownership of the cow rested in her, that her property was traded for it, and brings an action in replevin to recover the animal which Mr. O’Connor, the buyer, stoutly contests. An array of counsel is engaged on both sides, nnd the case is likely to gain a place in history. .11111 for Darning Martyr*. The bill for burning the three eminent martyrs of England has turned up in the Hritish museum, and is os follows; “Charge for burning the bodies of Cranmer, Latimer and Ridley: For three loads wood fagots, 12 shillings; item, one load furze fagots, 3 shillings 4 pence; item, for carriage, 2 shillings 6 pence; item, a post, 2 shillings 4 jience; item, two chains, 3 shillings 4 pence; item, two tables, G pence; item, for laborers, 2 shillings 8 jience; total, £1 0 shilli.jgs S pence.” Equator ami Folc«.
