work which left t; e money ipiestion practically just as it was before? Please answer that ! It is the first time the leettOD. has ever been so plainly you ma think so impolitely put, but whv venture up

on a change which Mr. Carlisle de

of our p leple was to be benefited?

by teluce the corn and wheat growers of Kentucky, and the cotton pla. iters of the lower Mississippi o penury, unless gomab dy wan benefited? "Honest mmsy!" siiouts the gold bug. "The debased 50cent -ilver dollar," echoes his brother. P it tlcre i one great overwhelming question which the surreptiti ius demonatisera must answer in 1900: ' 10 debasad the silver dollar? In s7.! it was worth 8 cents mote than the gold dollar was worth. The two metall had gone along hand in hand, neck ami neck, amid almost a c ntury of unexampled prosperity. They bad carried the country through the war of 1813, of 1846, and even the greatest and most dis-a-terous of all, the civil war from 1861 to ltiö. No man or woman ever heard of a tramp or a strike (save under that exception which proves the rule) before lS7;t. There was no popular clamor no great (or small) public demand for knocking out silver and establishing the single gold standard. Let every American oitisen bear this great fact in mind: William McKinley himself, his friends, dared not go to the country in IS'.M! on a gob! standard platform. The St. Louis platform declared for both gold and silver. Debased silver! Who debased t? Our own government went to Europe, having dishonored our own

metal. Why could we expect foreigners to honor the child which we ourselves bad bastardized? "Silver isn't worth half as mm h as gold," echo our great financiers. It was worth more than gold before it was stricken down in the house of its friends. Suppose two thoroughbred racers in adjoining stalls. Phis is a view of the matter that will impress Ktntuckians, felines-, cans a n d Indianians. Suppose some night, two English and American jockeys (named Seyd and Sherman, accidentally, perhaps) take a dark lantern, steal "surreptitiously," into the stalb, break the legs of one of the.

thoroughbreds, and next day coinplain that the "debased" colt is uot able any longer to keep pace

with the other one I The average horseman would be tempted to break thi necks of the two jockeys without waiting for the verdict oi a jury.

Bot suppose in addition to this

insult to p miliar intelligence, the

jockeys should hold that the fortu-

unate cult was now worth more to

mankind than both were before the maiming or "delmsing." What the genuine Indianan, Kentuckian

or Tennesseean would respond, the

Dispatch forbears to suggest. 1 he language is not laid down in the Sunday schools books, and we basal never may be. Ijouisville Dispatch. A. C. Vori. Kedford, is the new pieMilcnt of llauover college.
