01' SHOW.
To Be Executive Secretary.
A dispatch from Canton last night
states on what Was deemed reliable au-
thority, that Editor J. Addison Porter
, of the Hartford Post, was yesterday of.
feral by President-elect McKinley the
important peeition of Executive Secre-
tary. .
He had an interview with Major Mc-
Kinley in the morning and later took
lunch and had an afternoon consultation
He had been endorsed for Minister to
Italy. But that was not the object of
his call, nor is it at all likely that he
will fill that position. It is understood
that the consultation related to Mr.
Porter becoming private secretary to
the President-elect. But the belief is
that the arrangement was well advanced
today, and that more than likely Mr.
Porter will shortly announce his ac-
ceptance. .
Mr. Porter is 4i years of age,:a man
of means, and of his.high standingm
at his home and political circles. He
was one of the original McKinley men
of New England, and a prominent Mc-
Kinley leader before and at the St.
Louis Convention. '
He is a prominent hnd popular Yale
graduate, his maternal grandfather
having been the founder of the Yale
Sheffield scientific school. To¥days’
dispatches announce Mr. Porter’s ac-
ceptance of the high and responsible
position. He has all the qualities and
qualifications to make him an ideal
Executive Secretary.

How it Would Affect Farmers.
While it is Republican policy to build
up home markets, such are the vastness
of our resources, the energies and en-'
terprise of our people, and the produc-
tiveness of our soil, that it is indispen-
sible to thrift and prosperity that our
surplus products should find an outlet ..
in foreignmarkets. This is especially
true uf wheat, the growth of which is
enormous. When the fore‘gu demand
is limited or cut short, the price here is
depressed. When brisk, the price goes
up, as evidenced by the recent advance.
Its price is largely determined, if not
fixed, in England, and when exported,
iwheat is paid for in gold.
Now, suppose that under Populist
leadership, we should declare ourselves
independentof England and drift from
the gold to a silver standard. The re-.
salt would be that the middle men or
- eachangers who export wheat would
still be paidfor it in gold, .but the farm-
ers would Le obliged to take their pay
in silver. Shoulda Silver dollar pea.
sees only one half the-purchasing power
“riguld, the producer would be ccm—
pelted to pocket the loss of one-half its
price realized in England.
Snippets, however, that in order to
guard against such loss the produciBr
should stipulate by contract for pay-
ment in gold at a future time, say for
next year’s crop, even then his careful-
ness and foresight would not avail him.
Silver would be legal tender, and the
attempt to enforce payment in gold
would be futile. Nor could the pro-1
ducer set up want of notice that such
would he the result, for the fact would
b: staring him in the face, demanding
hat the standard silver dollar shall be
a full legal tender, equally with gold,
far all debts, public and private, and
lettering such legislation as would pre-
sent for the future, the demonetization
0" any kind of legal tender money by
1.. ivate contract.
Ii this view it is clear that, had the
a lvei ites entered upon a conspiracy to
"crest the farmers out of one-half the
fruits of their industry, no more ingen-
ious plan for the‘ accomplishment of
t at purpose could have been devised.
It): all men, the farmers were the last
' men to be caught aid they were not,
" and never will be, while intelligence,-
season and patriotism reign as now, in
all our agricultural regions.
