To the editor of the World:—
Filling a position under the fed¬
eral ’ government at $1,000 a
year, my salary would doubt
less be unaffected by the
idmsial election. I have, how
ever devoted considerable
thought to the purchasing pow¬
er of my earning under a low
tariff, free silver law, and am
honestly inclined to favor the
farmer, for these reasons:
First—The government finds
no dificulty in maintaining the
parity of gold and silver even at
a lesser ratio than 16 to 1.
Second—If the french govern¬
ment continued the coinage of
bo h metals for several years
prior to the French-German
war, and successfully preserved
the national credit, why cannot
the United States, which has
more than doubled the popula¬
tion of France, and is far more
resourceful, undertake it?
Third—The opening of the
mints to the free and unlimited
coinage of both metals at the
fixed ratio of 16 to 1 would
undoubtedly enhance the me¬
tric value of silver to nearly
double its present market price,
so that the government would
not find it necessary to put a
fictitious value, as it certainly
does not, upon it.
Fourth—Under an excessive¬
ly high tariff, such as McKinley
framed in 1890, which forced
people to pay $1,70 for every

purchasing power of my .$1,000

to a greater extent than under
any free silver law that could

Brooklyn, July 30'
1 think the explanation lies
in the fact that Franklin was
a humorist. Not only was
Franklin’s sturdy common
sense felt to be too plain a
homespun for wear in the courts
of Europe, when the thought
needed to be attired in all the
lofty rhetoric tliat the most fer¬
vid eutlmsiasm could produce,
but also, 1 fear me greatly, his
colleagues were afraid that
Franklin would have bis joke.
It would be a good jokeno doubt
-probably a very good joke—
but the very best of jokes would
not be in keeping with the state¬
ly occasion. They were acute,
i hose leaders of the Continental
Congress, and >hey knew that
every man lias the defects of his
qualities, and that a humorist is
likely to be lacking reverence,
and that the writer of the Dec¬
laration of Independence had a
theme which demanded Die
most revenlial treatment.
So if was tli at Benjaman
Franklin liad to pay penalty of
humor in tho last century, just
as Abraham Lincoln had to pay
it in this century. Because Lin¬
coln was swift to seize upon an
incongruity, and because he
sought relief for his abiding
melancholy in playfulness, there
were not a few who refused to
take him seriously.
Even af cr his death there
were honest folks who held the
shrewdest and lofdest of
statesmen to have been
better than a buffoon. Of the
three grea'est Americans—
Frauklin, Washington and Liri
coin—-two were humorists:
it is, perhaps, his deficiency of
humor which makes \V ashing
ton seem more remote from us
and less friendly than either of
the others. Ex
