The American Method Often
Sacrifices the Man and
Lessens His Public
Value.
Ripley'D. Saunders, in St Louis Republic.
The sadly memorable feature of
ilie mayoralty campaign endiDg in
Greater New York last Tuesday—
the untimely death of Henry
George—again impresses upon the
public mind the undeniable fact
that American politics is an excep-
tionally bard taskmaster.
Men used to say, in excuse for
desperate exertions to attain a de-
sired object, “needs roust, when
devil drives.” The saying at its
best, when grim necessity is the
devil urging its helpless victim on
mental or physical breakdown, is
not easily defensible. In the case
of the great Single Tax advocate,
there was no warrant for submis-
sion to the strain of unceasing
toil that ended in death. It was
not, with Henry George, the re-
lentless, impelling force of ambi-
tion, itself described as a “ mount-
ing devil in the heart,” which led
him to sacrifice his life. Devotion
to a principle and to a cause in-
duced George to accept the may-
oralty nomination of the Jeffer-
sonian Democracy. The maelstrom
of the fiercest municipal campaign
known in the political history of
this country swept him irresistibly
to the final sacrifice.
And the pathetic feature of that
sacrifice is that it was far from be-
ing demanded. The most devot-
ed disciples of the Single Tax
propaganda and advocate of the
revolt against bossism in politics
must acknowledge that a bitter
price has been paid for whatever
reform might have been accom
plished by the Henry George
campaign in New York City, or for
whatever good may come in future
as a result or that campaign. An
absolute certainty of a victory at
the polls that would have trans- j
formed Henry George, the candi-
date, into Henry George^ the
mayor, would not have justified
an assumption of the cruel tasks
of political campaigning that
brought about the death of Hen-
ry George, the thinker.
Not by any means the first in-
stance of an American political
leader dyiDg in harness or break-
ing down into a living death, this
tragedy of the first mayoralty
election in Greater New York will
not be the last in the annals of
political warfare in this country.
It will be repeated just as long as
American campaigning methods
demand of political leaders that
suicidal night-and-day work on
the hustings, the most “ attract-
ive” feature of which is the exhi-
bition of the candidate for office
in a continuous performance, the
wonder of which is that physical
collapse is not oftener its closing
act.
For some years now we have
been informed that oratory as a
winning card in politics was a
thing of the past; that “ personal
magnetism” in a candidate was
not so imperatively demanded;
that the emotional phase of oar
political development has boen
left behind.
It would be a cause for national
self-congratnlation if this were
true. When that stage is reached
the farther sacrifice of life or
health on the part of our political
leaders will not be so strenuously
demanded. It will become per-
missible for their achievements in
he actual performance of their
ty to speak more eloquently in
eir behalf than is as yet the
ase. It will be possible for a
andidate in a few speeches to
“ally and clearly define his position
n the leading issues of the day,
nd then to await the verdict of
e people, based upon those
m and duly deliberate ntter-
nces.
The public press will be the
ost potent factor in bringing this
o pass.
There is nothing in the least far-
tched in this claim. Ask any
man in public life today whose
fame as an orator is of such pro-
portions as to insure the straining
of the seating capacity of any hall
wherein he may speak, and he will
tell yon that the andience which
there assembles to hear him is,
numerically, the most insignificant
fraction of the audience to which
he is in reality addressing himself.
His real audience, the imposing
congregation to Vbow his argu-
ments are advanced for telling
effect in behalf of his personal or
party interests, is that vast clien-
tele of the daily newspapers, the
hundreds of thousands who read
his speech in cold type, aDd
who are won or lost for his cause
just as ihe logic, honesty and sin-
cerity of his pleading may stand
this crucial test.
This is why the time will yet
come in this country when a few
great speeches will be all that is
necessary to ask of the leaders in
notable campaigns. I do not con-
tend thc*t there will ever be a
time when oratory will be entirely
superfluous and unnecessary, but
I do believe in the sure approach
of that happy day when we will
not demand of onr political stand-
ard bearers that unceasing and
cruel service in the never-ending
output of words which, be it ever
so marvelous as a test of endur-
ance, car nevertheless always be
surpassed by a stanchly built and
well-handled phonograph.
SENATOR CHANDLER
WARNS HIS PARTY.
PLANS. SUBMITTED
By the Financiers for Mone-
tary Reform.
Vice President E. O. Leech of
the National Union Bank of New
York, formerly director of the
United Staten Mint, also has pre-
sented a paper to the commission,
addressed not so mnch to the
merits of any particular form of
the present minting and currency
laws. He favors branch banks,
but doubts the present advisabil-
ity of makiDg the banks assets
the sole ]>asis of issue. Nor does
he believe it necessary to redeem
all of the silver coin and paper in
gold, as the wants of the people
are adequate to keeping in active
circulation the $480,000,000 of
this money now afloat, as evi-
denced by the successful practice
of France. “In the West, South
and middle sections of the conu-
try,” he says, “ where gold is not
called for on export acconnt, this
form of money suffices for all bus-
iness needs, and practically there
is no difficulty in securing its re-
demption in gold when wanted
throngh deposits in bank, More-
over, redemption by tha Govern-
ment of silver wonld require the
lockiog up of a large gold reserve
in the Treasury and constrict the
circulation.”
Mr. Leiech favors the repeal of
the act of May 31, 1878, requiring
the reissue of United States notes
coming into the Treasury, and
to reissue these notes only in
case of need. He regards as
prospective and not as imminent
danger from the maintenance of
the present legal paper money
circulation and believes that it
can be retired gradually by the
coining of silver b ullion, both into
dollars and subsidiary coins.
Money panics, he thinks, are ag-
gravated by the accumulation of
country bank deposits in New
York, whence it ia withdrawn
rapidly just when needed there.
Therefore he would abolish re-
serve cities and require national
banks throughout the country to
keep about 15 per cent cash in
reserve in their own vaults insur-
ing a uniform distribution of
money.
DEFEAT IS CERTAIN UN-
LESS BIMETALLISM
PLEDGES ARE
FULFILLED.
The old man who looks out at
the world with clear and healthy
eyes cannot help feeling great
gratification at the thought that
his children have inherited from
him no weakness nor tendency
to disease. The healthy old man
is the man who has throughout
his life kopt his digestion good
and his blood pure. Not one in a
thonsand does do it. Germs go
throngh Ihe healthy body without
effect. Let them once find lodg-
ment or let them find a weak spot,
they will develop by the million
and the bloocl will be full of them.
Instead of giving strength to the
tissues, it will force upon them
innntritica8 matter, and the man
will lose flesh and the more sus-
ceptible he is to disease. Dr.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discov-
ery is the only medicine that ab-
solutely and infallibly cares all
blood diseases, and almost all
dipeases are blood diseases. It
isn’t a medicine for some one par-
ticular so-callled disease. It is a
medicine for the whole body. It
forces o it all the germs of dis-
ease, and replaces imparities with
rich, red blood.

Opinion of One of the Best
Informed Politicians in
the Sec ate.
WasbingtODj Nov. 10—Mr.
Chandler, the senior Republican
senator from New Hampshire, has
written an interesting letter to the
Washington Post, which is pub-
lished in that paper today. Sena-
tor Chandler has been a leader of
his party many years. By com-
mon consent he is one of the
keenest and best informed politi-
cians in the senate. A letter
from Senator Chandler, published
in the St. Louis Republic August
26, stated that in the judgment of
the writer the cause of bimetallism
was not dead, as Republican lead-
ers then assumed, and cautioned
the Republicans not to lay the
flattering unction to their souls,
but rather to acknowledge the
force of popular silver sentiment
and to effect something substan-
tial for the canse of bimetalism.
Mr. Chandler says:
“ As to the elections, they prove
with reasonable clearness that if
the Republican party permanently
acquiesces in the ‘ existing gold
standard’ and gives up the strag-
gle for bimetallism, that party will
be defeated in the congressional
elections of 1893, and in the pres-
idential election of 1900. The
silver monometallists then will
take possesion of all branches of
the national government, and a
free coinage bill with silver made
the tender for all debts, public
and private, domestic and foreign,
will pass both houses of congress
and be signed by President Bryan.
“ Greater New York City being
in the hands of Tammany, that or-
ganization will unite with the
national Democracy in the de-
mand for free silver coinage, and
it is not within the bounds of pos-
sibility that the rural Republican
bimetallists will give votes enough
upon a single gold standard plat-
form to place the state of New
York back in the Republican col-
umn. There may be infatuated
individuals who think, in view of
the elections of last Tuesday in
Iowa, Ohio, Kentucky and Ne-
braska, that the Western Repub-
lican States can be kept in line if
future party platforms shall com-
pletely yield to gold and give np
the effort to remonetize silver;
but the wiser and saner view is to
assume that with the issue so
framed the Republican party will
meet with overwhelming political
disaster, infloted by a solid South
and a West almost solid, a!ded by
Tammany Hall and the free silver
Democracy of the Empire State.
This comes very near being a
country of free voters, and our
elections come very near being j
honest transactions, and an intel-;
ligent people, with their votes
freely cast and honestly counted,;
never will adopt nor submit to I
the permanent demonet'zition of
silver and the fixed ascendancy
of the single gold standard pre- S
scribed by England.
“ So the pathway of safety is in
only one direction. Mr. McKin-
ley was elected only because his
platform and his previous utter-
ances promised efforts to secure
bimetallism. We lost the Un'ted
States Senate because those
promises were not sufficiently in
earnest, and were distrusted by
many Republican voters. We
did not promise to establish bi-
metallism if wo could, believing it
to be a bad thing, but because we
believed it to be a good tlrng. If
we now faithlessly abandon the
pursuit of that good thiDg, we
doom oarselves to political anni-
hilation. So there is no hope for
ns but to bring together the inde-
pendent nations of the Western
Hemisphere, and to unite them in
one grand and irresstiible demand
for the money of the ages, God’s
money, as Secretary John Sher-
man devotionally and reverently
called it; silver aud gold, joined
together a fixed ratio as the basis
of all paper money and credits,
and as the world’s time honored
treasure of the world’s values.

mints will be referred to as prov-

the refusal there have been writ-

saying that ‘ silver is a dead issue,’
and jeeriDg at all Republicans
who still believe that the pledges
of their platform of 1896 aud pri-
or thereto are yet living and bind-

avoid the continued comparison
of these prophets to those who,
in 1S52, in perfect accordance
with the platforms of the two
great political parties, proclaimed
the doom and death of the anti-
slavery agitation ; yet in 10 short
years saw slavery doomed and piaess of the whole great Empire

terests of the country had beeD
injured by silver’s demonetization
in 1873, and urged the Govern-
ment to do all in their power to
secure an international agreement.
In the debate the Chancellor of
the Exchequer (Sir W. E H.
Beach) promised that the Govern-
ment wonld obey this injunction.
The First Lord of the Treasury
(Mr. A. J. Bilfom) made the same
promise in so many words, among
them these:
“‘We will reopen the India

“‘But the creditor interest will

sire the continuance in power of
their party and who do not pro-
pose to bolt their partj platform.

“ Well, sir,” said he, “ hereditary
damphul runs high in their fami-
lies, and they may break iuto
yonr legislature at aoy timp, and
we have no money for your state
at any price, nor security on lands
or personal property in Texas.”
Thus was caused, in one single
instance, the layiDg idle of an in-
vestment of $750,000 from that
date to this, with such other great
evils as it detailed upon the hun-
dreds of other industries and per-
sons dependent upon each enter-
prise.
It is true that manufactories
have been built and operated
since then. But they have not
been paying fair compensation
for their labor, nor making a fair
dividend 011 the investment, be-
cause of the value of the money
they have been forced to use.
This alien land law is only one of
the very many iniquitous statuto-
ry enactments of legislation in
this God-given section. The laws
of collection cost this State from
5 to 10 per cent, annually. Go
into the great commercial empo-
riums of the East or West and
ask if they are seeking Southern.
“No, sir; “no sir.” “Why!”
“ Because we have no remedy on
your statutes against thieves. We
have all the losses we want when
we sell to a man who runs the
goods into Texas, where the laws
protect him in theft.” Agaio, go
into the house that is seeking
trade in Texas, and there are
twenty-five or thirty lines of sam-
ples laid out for the traveling
salesmen. See the prices of Cali-
fornia and compare them with the
line laid out for Texas, and Texas
is marked 10 to 15 per cent, high-
er than those for California. There
is a cause. It simply says: “It
costs 15 per cent, more to gei
their money in Texas than it does
ia California.” (See the statutes
of collection an I remedial writs
of the two States). Demigagy
costs the people 10 to 15 per cent
on every article they wear or eal
in Texas. The huckster on the

The Genuine Razarback Ham*
New York San. _
The department of agriculfare
has recently issued a re port on the
subject of bams, a product of I«T«
of Wight, Surrey, Southampton,
and Nansemond coun ties of Vir-
ginia. Abont 30,0(0 pounds are
the annual output, most of which
is exported to Eirope. These
hams are pronounced equal if not
superior to the Westphalian. They
■ire made from what is called the
rwzorback hog. During his yonth
this an'mal is allowed to range the
woods throughout tbe eammer,
where it acquires the peculiar
gamy flivor for wh eh the fl^sh ia
noted. In the aatcimn, when the
corn crop is galh Bred, the hogs
*r6 driven into the fields, in
every other row in pknU
buck-eyed peas. Ga
the small corn that toe
fatten very rapidly. Asa|
process tbe animals are allot
to eat the small potatoes that
left after tbe crop is harvested.
Tbe method of caring ihe ham*
»nd bacoo is peculiar to the local-
ity. There are miiny imitation*
of the Virginia razor-back hanx,
>ome of which arei»robably equal
to the genuine, wliere the same
system of fattening and curing ia
employed. To sec are the geno-
me, it is necessary for indmdoal
consumers to give their orders m
year in advance.
