MANY ARE OPPOSED 70 FREE SILVER A Statement of Their Position in the Campaign. NOT BLIND DISCONTENT A great deal of interest naturally at- taches to the role that the single taxers are taking in the present campaign. They constitute a class numerous enough to exert no mean influence if they should, for any reason, combine on either of the lead- ing candidates. In Delaware, where the single tax theory has apparently gained more ground than it has anywhere else, a strong and determin- ed effort has been made to prove that the single taxers are a unit, or practically so, for Bryan. The reasons given for this state of affairs are that while the single taxers are by no means agreed on the merits of free silver as a fiscal scheme, they are satisfied that the cause which is nearest to their hearts would stand a bet- ter chance of success if there were such a general shaking-up as would result from Bryan’s election. In this city, too, a num- ber of believers in the single tax theory have come out unreservely for Bryan, and have been making big claims as to the in- fluence the adherents of that theory would exert in the coming election. An interesting addition to the literature of the campaign has just been issued in the form of an open circular signed by a number of the leading single taxers, in which they protest against any attempt to identify their cause with that of free silver, and assert that many of their number are not supporting Mr. Bryan. The signatures to the circular were secured, it is stated, without any great amount of canvassing, for which there was not time before elec- tion. The circular is as follows: Opponed to Free Silver. “The undersigned, who are firm believers in the wisdom and necessity of a single tax upon land values, to the exclusion of all other forms of taxati@n, feel it to be their iuty, in view of the effort made in some quarters to identify the single tax move- ment with the demand for free coinage of siiver, to protest against any such effort, whether made by friends or enemies of our cause, and briefly to state our own position. “We claim for ourselves no right of in- fallibil:ty, nor do we question the hon- esty of purpose of those single taxers with whom we disagree upon this question. All that we ask of them fs that they shall not attempt to identify the singie tax move- ment in the public mind with the demand for free coinage of silver; while for our- selves we des're t> make the public under- stand that some of the most earnest ad- vocates of the je tax are opposed to such demand aad do not support the can- didacy of Mr. Bryan. “We particularly appreciate the care with which the founder of the movement, Henry George, has abstained from any form of expression which woull seem to commit his single tax followers to an indorsement of his individual course in the present cam- paign; and we are glad to observe that not only he, but most of the other single tax- ers who have declared themselves as sup- porting Mr. Bryan, have at the same time disclaimei all belief in free silver, basing their decision to give such support upon grounds entirely distinct from the cur- rency question. We thoroughiy sympathize with the mo- tives that have led them to this decision and would gladly jein in action that would raise, in logical terms, a protest against the evil conditions which paternalism in govern- ment has brought upon us. But to us it is clear that the demand for free silver is but another of the off-shoots of this paternalism with wh cursed. “Much as we deplore the setting aside for the movement of all issues in which, as single taxers, we are really interested, we cannot disguise from ourseives that in this campaign there is but one issue—that of free silver; nor can we delude ourselves with the fdea that any gain can be made for the cause of the people by supporting Mr. Bryan, while denying the monetary octrine for which he stands and to which he has subordinated every other issue. For unless our conception of the single tax is a mistaken one, it stands for a definite remedy, not for a blind discontent. Want Less Paternalism. “The battle for the singic tax “has hith- erto been one for more freedom, not for less, fur less interference by a paternal government, not fcr more; and we should deny the fundamental principle which has inspired it were we to aid in forcing upon the community by legal tender acts a coin- ege which it was inwilling to receive. The aim of the single taxers has been to re- move the restricticrs upon industry that come of unwise rnd unjust taxation, we carnot consent to intensify the effect of these restrictions by helping to precipitate the paralysis of industry which must fol- low a financial panic. “Ard while we must, therefore, as single taxers, reject a proposed remedy which has nothing in common with the single tax, but is, indeed, opposed to its essential spirit, we are also unflinchingly opposed to the public and private dishonesty that is involved in the payment of debts with the depreciated dollars that we believe would result from free silver coinage at 16 to 1. We do not maintain that the single tax is, or ought to be, identified with the gold stand- ard any more than with the silver stand- ard, but we do hold that our cause can- not afford to be associated with a proposal that must have dishonest results, with whatever honesty of purpose it may be advocated.

Hemingway, the well-known Iccal single taxer, writes to The Evening Star upon the subject as follows: “Why do I favor Bryan's election?

The effect wili be substantially the same as that produced by the application of a stim- ulant to one who is overburdened. “The general rise in prices will be in pro- portion to the increase in the world’s sup- ply of money. This rise will de slight, but permanent. “There will also be a local rise, in certain lines, above the general rise, which will be transient. * “Farmers will not receive any considera- bly higher prices for their products, as such products, being produced in excess of local mand, are fixed by the prices in the mar- kets of the,world minus the cost of trans- portation thereto. “In lines of commodities where there are artificial barriers erected between the mar- kets of the world and consumers, by tariffs, prices will rise above the general rise due to the increase of the world’s money sup- ly. “Producers of silver will receive higher prices for their product. This is outrage- ous. Labor must pay it all. But it is no more outrageous than the bigher prices labor is compelled to pay by reason of the operation of tariffs. It is also absurd. 1t amounts practically to a present by the people to silver producers. (This feature might be, to some extent, mitigated by having the law require the Treasury De- partment to purchase all silver offered it and pay the market price therefor, and then isgue notes thereon at the rate of one dollar for each 3711-4 grains.) But apart from all the fallacies urged by the free silverites, there are good reasons why I should go with them. “I am an arti-monopolist. There seems to be a realignment going on in political parties—the monopolists all going with the republican party, and the anti-monopolists going with the democratic party. While the democratic party has not yet proposed ary measures that will be in the least ef- fective in destroying monopoly, yet, there is good ground to hove that, if the realign- ment can be made complete, after a num- ber of failures it may acquire sense enough to enact efficient measures. “The parent monopoly is the land monop- oly. The only way to destroy that is to lay a sufficiently heavy burden of taxa- tion on land, exclusive of improvements, and on the basis of its value. This would compel the -application of all land to its best use, and would make good land easiiy accessible to labor. “The monopoly of commodities can only be destroyed by breaking down the barriers by repealing the tariff and to free trade, similar laws. Questioned by Single Taxers. At a meeting of local single taxers yes- terday -afternoon at the intersection of Pennsylvania and Louisiana avenues re- marks were made by Messrs. A. P. Davis, D. Webster Groh, J. H. F. Eschlepp and others on “Promised Political Reforms.” The speakers said that American pro- ducers generally would receive no perma- nent benefits from the measures promi- nently advocated by e:ther of the two great political parties, and that the people, dis- gusted with each party at the end of a four-years’ term, had alternately put the one party in power as the only way of get- ting the other out. The following questions were réspectfully addressed, in the form of an open letter, to the leading politicians of both political parties, viz: “1. As money is simply the measure whereby services (materialized into labor products or otherwise) are exchanged, can changing this measure give some men more services in exchange for theirs, without others rece‘ving just that much less? “2. As fluctuation in the dollar’s purchas- ing power is the real evil, wouid not inflat- ing the currency be equally as great a ‘crime’ as contracting it? If not, why not? “3. At inflated prices, would not propor- tionately more of the depreciated currency be needed to handle the same business, thus leaving enterprise generally relatively where it Is today? “4. Does the last thirty years’ general de- cline in average American interest rates indicate a money famine? What-does it in- dicate? “5. If a tariff on articles cheapens them, ought it not be put lightest on finished products and heaviest on the raw material—‘ to cheapen it—and thus widen our manu- facturers’ margin of profit? Why did the McKinley tariff invert this order? “6. But if the McKiniey tariff increased prices did it not thereby necessitate a larger volume of currency to handle the same products and correspondingly increase the financial stringency? “7, Can we protect laborers by making dear (through tar:ffs) what they buy—, goods, and admitting free (through unre- stricted immigration) what they sell—labor? “8. If the tariff is no tax, why refund to exporting manufacturers 90 per cent of the duty on their imported raw material? Why do so If the fore‘gner pays it? “9. As foreigners expect pay involving American labor cost, can imports displace ‘American labor? If’ they will accept pay invoiving no labor cost to us, why not trade them as much of this inexpensive delusive nothingness as we can for their substantial goods? “10. If international trade is EROer an ing, is. cad interstate trade equally hurtful? “i. with gunboats, blockade our caamiow: ports, to injure them, and with tariff blockade our own, to henefit our- selves? “12. Does not speculative land monopoly injure both labor and capital more than either our kind of money or tar:ff?” Our Wednesday and Saturday issue each week “nutil election, will give the report by states of the famous woman's vote for President. -said that Mr.’ Bryan proposes to give a ILLEGAL REGISTRATION. A Washington Man Who Wants to Vote in Baltimore. Detective John S. Pontier of Baltimore, Md., brought to this city today a requi- sition from Gov. Lowndes of Maryland for Dennis Crowley, a well-known resident of Washington, Crowley being charged in the requisition with having illega!ly registered in Baltimor2 the 29th of last month. De- tectives Carter und Gallagher arrested Crowley and delivered him to the marshal, pending a hearing before Judge Hagner. Crowley formerly kept an oyster house on the avenue between 12th and 13th Streets, and later at 12th and D strects. He has, it is said, been regarded as a resi- dent of this city for twenty or more years, but he claims to be a eltizen- of Baltimore, and insists that he had: the right to register there. The indictment on which the requi- sition was based charges that Crowley is not a citizen of Baltimere, and alleges tha: he registered in the ninsh election precifct of the fourth ward the-20ih of last month, giving his place of residence, it is said, as Shaw's Hotel, on North High street, Kast Baltimore. The indictment it is s2id, was Procured through the efforts of the Reform League of Raltfinore 4 gaia: Independence of ‘Great Britain. To the Editor of The Evening Star: A very cunning effort by an appeal to the spirit’ of independence which prevails among Americans has been made by the free silver advocates in this campaign. Why should we wait for other nations to adopt free silver? Let us deslare our in- dependence, especially of Great Britain, and go It alone, say they; and I notice that our friend Kilbourn heads his free silver Pamphlet, “Uncle Sam vs. John Bull.” Inasmuch as their contention ts based mainly on the low price of wheat and farm products, why don't they advocate our independence of Great Britain and the rest of Europe in that respect? Why not go it aione, and ourselves fix the price of whea‘, cotton, etc.? It is just as reasonable and just as practicable as to adopt free silver coinage alone. Of course, we could re- solve, or even have a law passed, to fix the price of wheat and cottgn; but unless that was in accord with the commercial price abroad we would not sell a bushel or a pound. So with silver—we may pass a law to adopt free coinage, but unless we put enough silver in the dollar to make its commercial or bullion value equal to its face value io other nation will take it of us, except at a discount, uny more than they would buy our wheat at double the market price. If we had no trade or communication with other nations we could do as we pleased—uee sliver, brass, iron or anything else a8 money; but so long as we do have trade and communication with them we must make our money such as is generally used by the commercial nations with whom we deal; and I take it that we are not quite ready yet to shut ourselves off from all communication with the rest of the world. There are two matters in which we can and ought to declare our independence, zot only of Great Britain, but of all the world, and those are manufactures and com. merce. We can build up our own manu- factures, produce our own goods and use the millions which we now pay. to foreign labor and capital to pay our own people instead. So, too, we can build up.our commerce. In 1859 the amount paid the owners of Americar vessels was almost double that paid the owners cf foreign vessels; in 1895 the amount paid foreigners was almost five and a half times as much as that paid Americars! $590,538,202, Not only was that amount, paid to foreigners and taken out of the country, but it gave employment to foreign sailors ard officers, when it ought to have been paid to our own people, and given employment to Americans. That is a kind of independenve that + ill be of benefit to us as a nation. That is practicable, -vhile unltmitefl free coinage of silver by this government alone is not. That, it seems to mej is the first impulse of patriotism, as well as ovr true national policy, and yet, nearly» every man who is shouting for free silver advocates a policy which, instead of tending te establish cur manufacturing and commercial independ- ence, tends to perpetuate our dependence. Not only that, but their aftempt to force free silver on the cowntry: is doing more than all else to break dowal’both our man- ufacturing and commetcialindustries, de- stroy confidence at home and abroad ani render the pregent ‘wad fence infinitely worse.

DOUBLE FUSION BY THE POPULISTS Election Boards Are in Control of the Republicans. TWO VIEWS OF IT Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. RALEIGH, N. C., October 26.—The be- ginning of the last week of the campaign finds the same state of doubt and uncer- tainty as to the outcome in North Carolina that has prevailed for weeks past, ard the leaders of both the leadingg parties are claiming the state for McKinley or Bryan as the case may be with equal apparent confidence. I conversed last evening with Secretary W. 8. Hyams of the republican state cen- tral committee, Mr. Josephus Daniels, editor of the Raleigh News and Observer, the offi- cial organ of the democratic party in North Carolina, and member of the democratic national committee, also other leading citi- zens in reference to the political situation, and found most of them at sea on the sub- ject. Secretary Hyams, however, had, he said, no doubt whatever as to the final out- come, although he would not risk an opin- jon as to majorities. “I have not the siightest doubt,” said he, “that McKirley will carry North Carolina, and every member of the republican state ‘central committee agrees with me as to that. We base our estimates on the figures shown by the registration, which wa3 com- pleted a few days ago, and also on the fact that the scund money democra:s of the state are going to sxpport the republi- can electors. “The scund money men have arranged for a large extra force of stump speakers <o hold meetings throughout tie state dur- ing the ensuing week, and up to and in- cluding the night before the election, and while they will advocate the gold standard they will have very little if anything to say in reference to voting for Palmcr, as they know that each vote cast fof him is @ ballot thrown away. “The new regisiration law has also been very favorable to the republicans in that it has enabled vot to get their names on the lists, who ould not do so when the iemocrats were in conirol, because of the raising of various ‘echnicalities, which were mainly irrelevant to the right of the appiicant to vote. ‘This, in the state, amounted to the disfranchisement of at least 25,000 voters, all of whom, it is ex- pected, will this year go to McKinley. “As I said in the beginning, I have not the slightest doubt that McK:nley will car- ry the state. I am also certain that Judge Russell, the republican nominee for gov- ernor, will be elected, as will also the can- didate of our party for lieutenant governor, Mr. C. A. Reynolds. Nor will there be a single democrat elected to any of the other state offices, the incumbents of which I predict will be: Attorney general, Z. DB. Walser; treasurer, W. H. Worth, populist; secretary of state, Cyrus Thompson, popu- list; aud:tor, Hal W. Ayer, populist; super- intendent of public instruction, C.'H. Me- vane, populist; two judges of supreme court, Welton Montgomery, populist, and Robert eS Dougias, republican; judge of superior rt, Spencer B. Adams, republican. Like the sound money men, the repub- licans will also during the coming week aold meetings in every county of the state; m fact, the woods wili be full of speakers. “The News and Observer, one of the or- gans of the democratic party in North Carolina, is attempting to raise the color line, but the effort will be a failure, for, hke the war, the question of coior has be- come a back’ number.” Congressional Delegation. “The corgiessicnal delegation in the next Congress vill, I predict, comprise four re- publicars and five populists, which will be constituted as foilows: First district, Harry Skinner, populist; second, George H. White, colored, republican; third, J. E. Fowler, populist; fourth, W. F. Stroud, populist; fitth, Thomas Settie, republican; sixth, Charies H. Martin, populist; seventh, A. H. Shufford, populist; e.ghth, R. Z. Linney, republican; ninth, Richmond Pearson, re- publican. Of these Messrs. Settle ‘and vearson are members of the present Con- gress, and if the prediction proves true will be a gain of one anti-democrat, viz: Ww hite, colored, in the second. “As to the legislature I am confident that it will be anti-democratic and I am sure che republicans and populists wil have a large majority. Out of the 170 members of the general assembly I do not believe the democrats will have more than twenty-five and these will mostly be in the lower house, thus giving the anti-demo- crats a majority of 120 on joint ballot. “Another matter that will aid the Mc- Kinley men to carry the state will be the fact that two years ago democrats de- nounced the fusicn movement which then occurred in North Carolina as an unholy alliance. They abused the populist speak- ers and even egged Senator Butler. For the last thirty days, however, the demo- crats have been Gown on their knees beg- ging the populists to fuse with them, but 8o far they have met with no success, ¢nd their overtures and entreaties have been regarded with contempt. “Our reports show that our speakers in every section of the state are welcomed by large and enthusiastic audiences, who lsten with eagerness to the exp of republican doctrine on the subje> the currency, while on the other hand the democratic gatherings are deficient both in numbers and enthu 7m. A Clear View. Mr. Josephus Daniels, well known as a leading democratic politician in North Car- oiina, and formerly private secretary to Hoke Smith, said: “We have in North Carolina a very com- plicated situation, and I do not believe there is anything like it not only in any other state in the Union but in the heavy- ens above, the earth below, nor in the wa’ ers under the earth; and outside of the cer- tainty that Bryan will carry the state, everything is doubt and uncertainty. “The democrats and populists have fused on the electoral ticket, which will insure Bryan ‘from 25,000 to 50,00) majority, and the republicans and populists have fused on all the state officers except governor d lieutenant governor. “ “The republicans and populists have di- vided up the state as to congressional dis- tricts, with the view of giving the popu- lists five and the republicans four in the next House, a gain to the former of one. The districts given by the republicans to the populists are those in which the pop- ulist sentiment is so strong that the repub- licans would have no chance of carrying it if they were to put up a candidate of their own. They therefore made a bargain with the populists to vote for their nomi- nees in the first, third, fourth, sixth and seventh districts in consideration of the populists either voting for thelr men tn the other districts or in case they could not deliver the populist vote there to the republican candidate, the former would put up a@ populist nominee, who would work in the interest of the republican candidate. “It is easy in this-state to get the re- publicans to vote solidly for the populist candidates, if advised to do so by the re- publican executive committee, because nine- tenths of the voters of that party are col- ored men, who will, as a rule, follow the instructions of the political boss -without question. “It is not, however, so easy to induce the pepulists to vote for a republican, merely to prevent the democrat from ’ getting elected. “There is not a district in the state which could bé carried by any man who advocat- ed the single gold standard, if the silver forces in the district. were united in op- pesition to his support. “The republicans expect to carry the sec- ond, fifth, eighth and ninth districts, as a result of trades made by them with che pepulists, and in order to make this out- come the more certain the populists have ‘put up a decoy candidate in each district in the state except the third, where it was deemed best to permit an independent pop- ulist to run as an adjunct to the republican candidate. North Carolina is concerned, the democra: witl elect four'or five candidates, the pop- ‘THE ee Se MONDAY,. OCTOBER -26, 1896-TWELVE PAGES, PIANOS AND ORGANS. POTOMAC RIVER BOATS.

They are now thoroughly organized, and the chairman of the state committee, Mr. Manly, believes the state is sure for the democratic ticket. He realizes, as do all of us who have followed the campaign, that it is remarkable in many respects, and in none more than this, that less than ten days before the election it is impossible for any one to accurately foretell the re- sult.” ——— Republicans and Bimetallism. To the Raitor of The Evening Star. I notice that nearly ail the advocates of free silver in the present campaign Insist that the republican party !s opposed to bi- metailism; that is,.the use of both gold and silver. There is no truth in the assertion, as they well know, for the republican platform dis- tinctly favers the use of both gold and sil- ver, and pledges the party to use its best endeavors to secure an international agre ment by which silver may be restored to its former position. They do oppose, as all honest men must, the coinage of silver dollars worth only haif the face value, and which all know cannot be used in trade with other nati We have bimetalliem now, but only by the pledge of the government to keep the de- preciated silver at a parity with gold. This it can do to a Imited extent, but if free and unlimited coinage of silver should be adopted it would be impossibie. Congrees might pass a law making it a jegal tender, and, as the French d‘d, impose the severest penalties for refusing to receive it at its face vaiue, but now, 2s then, ail such laws would be utterly’ futile. It is simply folly to attempt any such thing. OBSERVER. Church Incorporation, The Metropolitan Memorial Methodist Eriscopal Church of Washington city, D.
