Washington special to National
Democrat: Democrats and the friends
of silver are elated by the fate which
overtook Preslaent McKinley s recom-
mendation for the appointment of a
currency commission in the senate
end the dull, flat and unprofitable
manner in which the message was re-
ceived generally. The Presidents
document is regarded as weak and in-
consistent and lacking good faith and
in any purpose except to aid Hanna
and draw the fire of silver supporters
between now and the reconvention of
congress in December. Senator Hoar
asked unanimous consent to refer the
message to the finance committee.
Senator Teller said that it was quite
evident the currency commission bill
would not be acted upon by the sen-
ate, as it would be discussed for days
and weeks. The message requesting
passage of the bill was inconsistent in
that it declared the soundness of our
present currency and that no loss could
occur to its holders, while recommend-
ing a radical change. The message
simply put the President in line with
the Indianapolis monetary convention
to turn the monetary affairs of the
country over to the banks. Senators
Aldrich, Hoar and Lindsay protested,
the latter demlanding the right of ac-
tion on the bill. Senator Morgan com-
mented upon the position of the Re-
publican senators as Indicating a "bad
break" in the Republican ranks and
expressed the opinion that the Presi-
dent was a poor politician. In tak-
ing the positiofi it had, the senate, he
said, was treating the President with
contumely. Finally, on motion of
Senator Cullom, the message and the
bill of Representative Stone for a com-
mission were referred to the finance
committee.
The message is as follows:
"Nothing was settled more clearly
at the late national election than the
determination upon the part, of the
people to keep their currency stable
in value and equal to that of the most
advanced nations of the wvorlri. The
soundness of our currency-ia nowhere
questioned. No loss can occur to its
holders. It is the system which should
be simplified and strengthened, keep-
ing our money just as good as it is
now. with less c\pcusei to :he govern-
ment and the people. The sentiment
pf the country is strongly in favor of
early action by congress In this
direction—to revise our currency
laws and remove them from
party contention. A notable as-
sembly of business men. with dele-
gates from twenty-nine states and
territories, was held at Indianapolis in
January of this year. The financial
situation commanded their earnest at-
tention. and after a two-days' session
the convention recommended to con-
gress the appointment of a monetary
commission. I recommend this report
to the consideration of congress. The
authors of the report rSOOmmend a
commission "to make a thorough in-
vestigation of the monetary affairs and
peeds of this country in all relations
and aspects, and to make proper sug-
gestions as to any evils found to exist
and the remedies therefor. This sub-
ject should receive the attention of
Congress at the special session. It
ought not'to be postponed until the
regular session. I therefore urgently
recommend that a special commission
be created, non-partisan in its c harac-
ter, to be composed of well-informed
citizens of different parties who will
command the confidence of congress
and the country, because of their spe-
cial fitness for the work, whose duty
it shall be to make recommendations
of whatever character in our present
banking and currency laws may be
found necessary and expedient, and to
report their conclusions on or before
the first day of November next, in
order that the same may be transmit-
ted by me to congress for its con-
sideration at its first regular session.
It is to be hoped that the report thus
made will be so comprehensive and
sound as lo receive the support of all
parties and the favorable action of con-
mess \t ail events, such a report
cannot fail to be of value to the execu-
tive branch of the government, as well
as to those charged with public legis-
lation a«d to greatly assist in the es-
tablishment of an improved system of
finance."
I In the house, when the bill authoriz-
I ing the appointment of a monetary
commission, introduced several days
ago by Representative C. \V. Stone of
Pennsylvania, had been briefly debated,
Mr. Carmaek of Tennessee offered an
amendment to the effect that the com-
mission should be instructed to re-
port a bill on the lines of the Chicago
platform and to include in ihe bill pro-
vision for the free coinage of silver at
16 to 1.
Mr. Cox of Tennessee predicted that
the work of the Commission would be
valueless. He questioned the motive
of the President's message, which,

brief, its life in the senate was also
brief; however, the wise men who met
at Indianapolis are happy, and per-
haps the money spinners of Wall and
Lombard streets may see cause for re-
joicing. As a portent of what would
happen to the currency of the United
States if the Republicans held absolute
pow^r, the message is significant; as
a means to force this nation on a gold
basis it is providentially impotent.-

In the last election the business
men did not get their eyes open on the
money question, and as a result we
have a continuance of the gold measure
of falling prices. An estimate of the
Intellectuality of the average business
man outside of the regular routine is
thus set forth by an unprejudiced ob-
server. James Brvce, an English
member of parliament, in his noted
work, "The American Commonwealth,"
in speaking of "classes as influencing
opinion," says (page 300): "The capital-
ist class (in the United States) con-
sists of large merchants, manufac-
turers, bankers, and railroad men, with
a few great land speculators and di-
rectors of trading or carrying com-
panies. How much capacity and ener-
gy, how much wealth and influence
there is in this sriiall class everybody
knows. It includes the best executive
ability of the country and far more
ability than Is devoted to the pub-
lic service of the State. Though such
persons do not, and hardly could, hold
aloof from politics some of them are
indeed zealous party men. Their in-
terest lies chiefly in using politics for
their own purposes, and especially in
resisting the attacks with -which they
are threatened, sometimes by the pop-
ular movement against monopolists
and great corporations, sometimes by
free traders anxious to get rid of the
present high tariff which the nanu-
tat Hirers deem essential to the welfare
of the country.
One-half of the capitalists are oc-
cupied in preaching laissez faire as re-
gards railroad control, the other half
in resisting it in railroad rate mat-
ters, in order to have their goods car-
ried more cheaply, and in tariff mat-
ters, in order to protect industries
threatened with foreign competition.
Yet they manage to hold well together.
Their practical talent does not neces-
sarily Imply political insight, any more
than moral elevation, nor have they
generally the taste or leisure to think
seriously about the needs of the state.
In no country does one find so many
men of eminent cipclty for business,
shrewd, forcible and daring, WHO
ARE SO UNINTERESTING, SO IN-
TELLECTUALLY BARREN, OUT-
SIDE THE SPHERE OF THEIR BUSI-
NESS KNOWLEDGE.
But the wealthy have many ways of
influencing opinion and the course of
events. Some of them own, others
find means of inspiring newspapers.
Many are liberal supporters of uni-
versities and colleges, and it Is alleged
that they occasionally discourage the
promulgation, by college teachers, of
opinions they dislike. Presidents of
great corporations have armies of offi-
cials under their orders, who cannot
indeed be intimidated, for public opin-
ion would resent that, yet they may
be suffered to know what their su-
perior thinks or expects. Cities, dis-
tricts of country, even states or terri-
tories. have much to hope or fear from
the management of a railway, and good
reason to conciliate Its president.
Moreover, as the finance of the country
is in the hands of these men and every
trader is affected by financial changes,
as they control enormous joint-stock
enterprises whose shares are held and
speculated In by hosts of private per-
sons of all ranks, their policy and
utterances are watched with anxious
cur'oslty, and the line they take de-
termines the conduct of thousands not
directly connected with them. A word
from several of the great financiers
would go a long way with leading
statesmen."

The Decline in Silver.
Demand and supply are the sole reg-
ulators of values. If you decrease the
demand for a valuable thing you di-
minish its value. Since the chief de-
mand for gold and silver is for money,
any law which affects the use of either
of these metals for money will power-
fully affect its value, and a law which
limits the use of silver for money and
thereby increases the demand for gold
will have a doubly powerful effect in
depressing the gold price of jilver. It
is not surprising, then, that this double
process of legislating against.silver and
in favor of gold should cause a rapid
decline in the gold price of silver.
There is no question that silver, as
a result of hostile legislation, is ab-
normally low, but It is not yet so low
that further hostile legislation may
not send it lower, nor is gold so dear
hut that the further extension of the
single gold standard will cause prices
generally to fall still lower.
It would not be at all surprising if
silver, under this double process of leg-
islating value into gold and out of sil-
ver. should decline more in value than
the average of other commodities, with
respect to which th i is no such.lsga)
restriction of demand. Adam Smith
in his "Wealth of Nations." devotes
many pages to showing that silver is
a more stable measure of value than
gold; and all reputable authorities
agree with the statement of Senator
Allison that "it is legislation that hai
destroyed silver and legislation can
restore it again. The fact that the
cost of producing silver has declined
would be an argument against sliver a&
a measure of values if the cost of pro-
ducing commodities in general had not
also declined; but since silver has but
, kept pace with commodities generally
in this respect, the fact that Its cost
of production has declined is a strong
argument in its favor.—Ex.

The P ron parity Fraud.
An esteemed Chicago contemporary
prints a table of forty-eight aoiive
stocks, showing the advance in the
price.-- of these stocks and arguing that
this proves that Republican legislu
ti<m means prosperity for the country.
By this table the one who reads It will
discover that American sugar stock
(common) has advanced $14,417,5£0 in
the last year, and American sugar (pre-
ferred) has advanced $5,267,040 In tfcs
same period of time. These are the
stocks which are first on the table
and will serve as typical of the rest.
Surely, the fact that $13,000,000 of ths
advance in sugar stcck has taken placs
within the last month Is a high tribute
to the virtue of Republican legislation.
The only drawback to general rejoic-
ing over tills manifest tidal wave of
prosperity is that while speculators
in sugar stock secured $13,000,000, the
money to pay these millions comes out
of the pockets of the people. Tariff
protection makes sugar stock valuable
and It also makes the poor man con-
tribute Ills share of this tax with every
