RIDPATH IS At LARGE. lAn interview with !Dr. Ridtpath, ttoe Ieino-Populi'St candidate for congress, in the Chicago 'Record, shows that he is the rational candidate of the new organization. He is the voluble exploiter otf loud self-assertion and untenatole assumption. iFor instauce, ne
eaid: "The circle of government hac- narrowed and narrowed, till ic appears- to me the height o.f atosUrdity to call -t any longer a government of the pfople, if or the people and by the people. II want to see this process completely reversed and the goverivnen: restorea to the people."
This is the Jargon of 'the man outside o.f office that wants things reversed so that the "outs" will toe in and the "ins" out. The members of congress will toe elected this ye»r as they were in. I860 or 1840, and the man who get the most votes wii-l be elector—except In Albania. Who can stop any man from voting? "I toeiieve precisely -What Webster, Theodore Parker and 'Lincoln said, viz: 'That our republic is, or ought to be, a government of the people, for the people and toy them.* IIow can there ibe any toarm in such a doctrirte? In the name oif counmon sense has it come to pass that any patriotic" citisen in the United States of America cannot advocate the right of people to govern themselves?"
Who advocates that the people cannot govern themselves? Atooub onehalt of the iree electors of the country elected' Harrison in 1888, and a part of .them turned around, joined the .Democrats and elected Mr. ftidpaxh'Q president, Cleveland, in 1892. That was govemtfnent toy the peojrfe and allowing them the right to make a (mistake If they wanted to.

rfhout «hat because the manority wom defeWteA Dt is not A gtwer&meait ot the ipeotple. He is a pretty ©art of advocate ctf popular government. What ihe wants Is all Tiglht—what he don't want, •is all wrong, ibut that is not American. 'In 187$ tshe admintetrators of the estate of (Noah Wetoeter, deceased, cut ttoe palates.of our standard lexicon, and inserted a new definition (of the dollar) that had become oeKsessary in order to throw a rationality around the. International gold conspiracy."
Smart fellows those gold conspirators, Ibut wtoen they fail to think cf a trick CEtidpath can invent It for them. How easy it as after a *.bing is done to invent reasons to shaw why it w«Sr done, as critics ,write a dozen contrasting definitions oif iphrases dn the Bible and Shaikesipeare. The Express is cafe with its dictionary although it has get ttoe gold dollar In It. It was bought from a prominent Populist" and friend oif Ridpatto's, who said it was the toest dlotionary in the worli. Ridpath'a ajmuslng charge that the geld constpiratofs edited the dlotionary Is consistent to that odhool of reformfrs •w.hidh isees fr'and in" "everything opposed to it. "i-', '^Bimetallfsm (means ttoe option of the delator to pay 4n either oif two statutory coins, according to his own convenience and lacoonding to ihe con•tract. This oiption ifreely granted, the 'oofeimerciAl parity o-f the two money tmetate will be speedily readn^.1, not casn etfch (party ever toe seriously d'sturibed again as long as the Unimpeded' option of the debtor to pay in one anetal or Che other shall be conceded toy law and the terms of the contract."
Here, as ttoe rant-and-tear orators •usually do, Mr. Ridpath put the cart beifore the horse. He, probatoly, would not aJctoept a deflnltiion from a dicricnary i!f it contradioted him, but we will offer one ifroim. our "Populist" dictionary—'"Bimetallism—the concurrent usev of Ibqtto gold and silver an money iat a fixed relative value, estaiblished by latw." Thig says bimetallism is the concurrent -use of gold and ei1ver Mr. .Rldpalth says tihat bttm-etal'L'-Sin is "ttoe opltion" oif the ddbtof. To have it the twto metals imtis't toe in sight and use, tout a didbtor might toave his c-pt'ou and •there might not toe tout one metal dn sight or avallalble. Conddtiona have got to put tooth metals in sight before 'the debitor can exercise a& option. The silverites may pass alt the laws ihgy please, saying 'that the debtor may have the option of .paying 'in silver cr gold, tout the laiw of trade that governs the world will prevent the delbtor frcm offering tanytlhing Ibut silver under the 16 to 1 silver monometallism.
Exaimptes migtot toe given without end to show that Mr. Ridpath is one of those iwho set tip their own Windmill's to tilt out, or invent supposititious cases, to overturn wiitto a rihaw of great indignation and virtue.
THE DEAR OLD CONSTITUTION. in view otf 'tlhe 3o.ve of the con'stitution eltpr&Ssed biy ttoe Brytan (plaitiform, many Bryanites stooW a s'a.d iignorance of the immorttal touliwark otf our liberties. They will Insist that the 16 to 1 dollar is in ttoe cJonsitiit'Uitlon, Some of them, no doulbt, think there 1s a jpltoture of it also.
Thie Bryan iptoit/form, (we cannot call 'it ttoe iDeimiciie.nalti'O pl'a'tl£o.rm without wounding the feeling's of respedted friends) acknowledge that the dollar was not in tfoie consitd'tu'ti'on by ttoe following woridis ^n i?t» cheap-tmoney planlk—'^and that ftoe flrSlt coinage taw passed toy oonigrests utodeT ttoe constitution made the sV.ver ido'll.ar the uni?, «tc." So, iit was mentioned first in. tlje finst c(o:inage law spasseid toy cong-resl, Aipnil 2, 1792, five years at er ttoe adoption otf the const:tu't:on. Ttoere,.,hiave been at TeAdt eighteen different aotfs tf congtess relatiing to co'inage. That bf February 2, 1873 was passed under '$e same a/uthoriity as ttoe atet of A®pilv2 1792, and it was as con'3titutinna-1 i'-and valid. Congress has ju'3t as 'ffluc'n consitiJtutionail power and author ty to pass an act ttoiis year making the ratio 15 'tip 1, 20 'to 1, or 40 to 1, as the dongreevs of 1792 toad. There is nothing in. ttoe constitution forbidding congress to make a fool of itself and and :t has •the power tio pass a free coinage ir.f silver aqt, but lit is' not commanded to do
IAS there are people who do not think muloh cif Ittoe Bryan platform, (Claikned by Jonee of ©t. T.ouls) tlie only (passages in 8h,e oonstitut'ton relating to money are "here reipealted. This is the conatdtution: I" "The congress shall have ttoe power— To borrow money on the credit of the United States to coin money, regulate ithe value ttoereof and of foreiign coin to provide 'fior the punishment of counterfeiting the securities and current do in of tihe Un-ited States to raise and support armies, tout no appropriation of money to ttoat use shall be for a longer term than two years.. No money shall toe draiwh from the treasury, but in c-onsequenice of appropriations made by law and a rrgular sitateiment and account of
the
re?e'.p:s and expendi
tures of all putolic moner/ Etoall be pubii'shed from time to time. In eui?s at caarunon la w. wtoc-re the value "an controversy sfra.l exc^i S20 he right of trial toy jury shall be .preserved, etc."
The above Includes every mention of money in Ithe powers granted or den:fed to congress by 'the constitution. 11 be noticed ttoat in giving congressltlie rigiht to coin money whBoh comes l^i^tiletr the head "Powers Granted to Congress," that the imettals t» toe used were not i»efiiiioned, and, under that gewtion and dawse, congress ibould use ^tM, silver, copper, .bronze, braes,#.lusnittum, etc.
In section 10 of the constitution, under the head "'Powers tenied to ttoe States" is anofheT tmefition xf money, Which is, "No state sha&l coin money, emit bills of credfit make anything tout gold and sJver coin a tender of in payment of debts." we say th*t what it denied tb i&c
state is denied to congress in regard to gold and ^Iver coAn then we would fcwve to sagr aao ttoat congress coud ndt cotn «nv»nfy belcaiuise it is denied to ttoe state, nor make greenbacks a tender In paymerit 0f deibts. This clause limited ttoe power of ttoe state wittoout preecribin* any diity to congress, but at ttoe «aane time (the amention of gofci and sUlver showed ttoeiir status as ttoe amoney metals. As fax- as Ittoe coinage of ttoe United States is concerned the ooniatltution is silent in regard to materials and tnatios. (It did reoogmize "xSoTffiarB" 4n its refferetDce to suits $or more than ".twenty dbilans" tout ttoat aMiueion was not ibo' tlhe Almeriioan dollar as ttoene were none in- exisitance or provided for when the constitution was adopted in 1787.
As Bryanirtes ln«i«t upon ou.r -adopting the ifree coinajge at ttoe ratio of 16 to 1 because, as they say, jit is ia the oonejti'tuition, oxigtoit Hhey not to drop it when they learn tihat St is not in the oonsitiltution?
HOW CORN GOES TO EUROPE. Ttoe reports. «f ttoe es®orts of iaiid, btaicon and 'hiatus, show wlhere miaiCh. of the /western mrn gtoes, ais it was sent 'to market on. foot and turned into tlhose exporitalble mmimodltiee.. Ttoe figures are quilte ramankaiWe. in. ttoe SAst six yeatls 70 per cent of the laid produced in this country has Ibe en exported. Back toetfore 1873 there was pnod.uiced less •titoan 300,000,000 pounds a year and ttoe export was only 57 per cent. In ttoe last six years the pnodiuct'ion has been as tojgh as 733,000,000 pounds, last year it was 060,000,000 and the average export was over 70 per cent, or nearly 500,000,000 pounds.
X,ard toas brought gold (prices and will comOinue to bring the same gold prices as Ithe e«®wnt pride Is Axed wlhere iit is sodd, noit toere, and whether our money is silver or gold, ttoe net return will ibe the same. We w.ll have to axsce®t ttoe consent of Grreat Britain and otiher (dOuntrEes to buy our lard and to fix the police they are willing -to pay, as ttoe trade is too good to thrown away, even. »for the ChLcago platiform. If we Sell 70 per cent aibroad we use 30 per cent at home, and it is evident the price at home is reiguiatad toy the pr.iioe of the surplus sold aibroad. The exportation was 168,000,000 pounds in 1874 and 491,000,000 in 1894-5. Wihat puit lafd doiW-n? Silver or ttoe .proiducfion otf told In the finst ©lace ttoe surplus regulated ttoe selling priioe here and in the second place treibling ttoe export' reduced the price there, but if we toad not gained the extra export trade oif 323,000,000 pounds there would have toeen a smaller demand for hogs and 'less Corn useld tor feed.
Beifore 1873 ttoe export of bacOn and haimis was Jess Itlhan 40,000,000 pounds in 1895 it was 558,044,099, making a total shipment of hog iproduots of over 1,000,000,000 (pounds at ©old prices. By all tneanis, il-e-t us be independent of these go lid countries t'h-at fix ttoe priiOGB toy buying our stuff, tout We reduce prjoes by increasing our exports. It is a law of trade—large sales, low prices, and tower {polices, larger saies, taken one year wi.th anotttoer.
