New York, March 3.-There was some
pretty active liquidation this morning in
cotton, following the first satisfactory
early cables. Later the market took Il
sharp turn of 4 to Z points on covering
by shorts, number of private cables
stating that the Liverpool market was
in trim for an advance. Local shorts
were nervous, as an improved demand
from the continent was also reported.
There was also some buying on the be-
lief that selling on the theory of big new
crop had been overdone, in view of the
possibilities of unfavorable changes in
weather conditions, and that it was Il
good speculation at present low prices
for an upturn, the statistical position be-
ing strong. Later the market became
weak again on unsatisfactory reports
from Fall River and closed barely steady

HUBBARD'S COTTON LETTER.
New York, March 3.-Hubbard Bros.
& Co. say of cotton:
Liverpool again felt the effect of the
heavy selling for Southern account,
though our advices state that the cotton
has passed into what seem to be stronger
hands and they look for better business.
Locally the feeling remains bearish, and
the trade regards the expectation of any
advance as absurd. The market has
shown considerable strength during the
afternoon, advancing from the low quo
tations of the morning On demand from
earlier sellers. This short covering held
prices to the close, and the trade is dis
posed to take a conservative view of the
market

BRYAN IN MINNESOTA.
Winds Up u Day of SpeechmakinR
With Three Meetings in
St. paul

st. Paul. Minn., Oct. 10:-w. ]. BRYAN
and his party reached st. Paul tonight
at o'clock. after a day of speechmaking
at various towns en- route from Fargo, N.
D., where he spoke last night.
Old soldiers were included in the escort
that greeted Mr.. Bryan here and large
crowd gathered both at the depot and at
the hotel to get view or the candidate.
The main meeting of the evening was that
in the big auditorium, the seating capacity
of which is 5000. but which contained not
less than 1000 others who had crowded into
all available standing room. Before the
speech by Mr.. Bryan, Louis Nash, for the
local labor organizations. presented him
with q silver pen and an address on silk,
expressing the hope that the pen might
be used in signing the free coinage bill
that they hoped would pass. Besides the
meeting at the Auditorium. other meet
ings were held at the Market hall and at
Paul Martins opera house. where MIR.
Bryan spoke more briefly. At the Audi
torium the candidate was introduced by s.
L. Pierce, of this city. and was greeted
with great roar of applause. His speech
was well received and at the close the
crowd followed the nominee rather than
stay and hear a speech by Ignatius DON
nelly who followed.

may buy more loares Of bread than 1t did
before the "crime of 1877
Mr.. Bryan belongs to the free trade par
ty that has persiStently and piteously
howled about the protective tariff, claim
ing that it had a tendency to increase the
prices of commodities to the consumer.
With lurid calumniation and dolorous Ia
mentation the free trade orators of Mr..
Bryan'S class have led great gatherings of
labor into an uproar of frenzied indignation
over the tax" which the "robber tariff
barons' proposed to put on the working
mans dinner pail.
But Mr.. Bryan is now exhorting laborers
to indorse a "tax" that is a tax. He declares
that the prices of commodities are too
low. They must be raised by the free coin
age of silver at Is to !. He Is now en-
gagged in picturing to wage-earners the
beauties of a new kind OF crown OF
thorns," which says that the contents OF
the workinSman's dinner pail cost too lit
tie. Does labor see the point?
The only cCmpenSating consolation which
Mr.. Bryan offers for dearer commodities
is an increase in the wages paid to labor
How can Mr.. Bryan promise this? What
historical fact or precedent or economic
principle does Mr.. Bryan summon to ex-
cuse himself for this fragrant deception of
American labor? None.
Wages will not advance. Between 1860
and ls66, when the currency was inflated
with paper, the prices of all commodities
rose 1l6 per cent. while wages only rose 43
per cent, in spite of the fact that hundreds
of thousands of laborers were called from
the productive industries to fight for the
flag.
The dollar We have Is not too good"
The laboring men Want a chance to earn
this dear dollar" for with it they can
buy more of the necessities of life than
ever before in the history of our country
Major Mckinley proposes the restoration
of the industrial and economic policy that
furnished the largest opportunity for labor
to secure profitable employment. He be-
lieves in a good dollar and chance for
every man to earn it.

Bryan Afraid of the Tariff Issue.

From the American Economist.
Even If Mr.. Bryan were sincere In his
statement that he considers the financial
question the supreme issue, he would not
thereby be justified in attempting to elinIi-
nate the tariff question from the campaign,
or be absolved from the duty of stating
his position in regard 10 it. Other ques-
tions of far less Importance have not been
eliminated from his speeches or from his
letter of acceptance.
Why should the tariff be the one question
to be dropped from discussion? However
important other questions may become, it
must always be an issue of supreme i'm
portance. until all parties are agreed upon
the policy to be adopted. 1t has been the
great issue throughout our history as a
nation; it has been the point about which
the whole battle of the ballots has been
waged during the last three campaigns. 1t
cannot be swept aside by any boy Orator.
who has sprung up into prominence n a
night like Jonah's gourd.
1t is a new policy, surely, for a presiden-
tfal candidate to state his position on only
the question which he considers most i'm
portant and on some minor ones. and to
refuse to say anything about the issue
which even he himself recognizes as I'M
portant, and which millions of his country
men consider the most important of all.
That he does not place it first does not
justify silence in regard to it. So. even
from Mr.. Bryan's professed standpoint, his
course is one of cowardice and dissimula-
ton. But Mr.. Bryan has overlone his part
and so proved his own insincerity.
The simple truth is that Mr.. Bryan re-
fuses to discuss the tariff just because it is
the issue OF supreme Importance and he
wishes it were not; because his record on
the tariff will not bear the scrutiny OF
voters who have, whenever they had
chance, condemned the Wilson German bill.
which Mr.. Bryan helped to pass; because
he dares not discuss 1t. Not all his elo-
quence can convince any one that the hard
times began as long ago as when the COIN
age law of 1873 was passed, or as late as
when the Sherman bill was repealed. Twist
theories how he will the fact remains that
hard times and the free trade party came
in together.
The people are not sick Of tariff discus
sion. but they are sick of free trade or any
approach to IT. This Mr.. Bryan KNOWS, and
this is the explanation of his policy Of cow
ardice.

Mr. Bryan and Threats.

From the New York Press.
'rhey can threaten away the bread from
your children, they can threaten to turn
you out of work, but when the day comes
to vote they cannot keep you from register
ing free mans will."-W. j. Bryan, in his
East st. Louis speech on Saturday.
Who can, you bearer of false witness?
The American citizens in the Northern
states vote as they please, and you
know it. Nobody threatens away the bread
from their children except W. ]. Bryan.
Nobody threatens to turn them out of
work except W. J. Bryan. When you in
suit American integrity, as you do every
day with your lies uttered from the stump,
you show yourself the meanest candidate
who ever ran for office-meaner than Till
man and Coxey. for. unlike them, your
models and teachers. you have come In con-
tact with honorable men, and should have
learned from reputable association some

The Coinage Question.

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
The question of coinage is simple enough
if 1T were not befogged by the efforts of the
silver miners and their attorneys to delude
the people with absurd theories. Before
We had any mint Mr.. Jefferson made a
thorough investigation of the values of the
two principal metals in other countries. So
far from concluding with Bryan that the
United States could control the relative
values of silver and gold he distinctly said
that it was a commercial problem, and
must be determined by the ratio in other
countries-not legal ratios, but the relative
value of the bullion.
Coming money. therefore. consists in
stamping the true value upon a given
quantity of bullion after 1t is fashioned into
a COIN. jefferson and Hamilton. though
political anttheses. were agreed as to this.
Neither of them had any idea of imparting
value to the coin by the stamping process.
Nor did any other of the statesmen or ex-
perts of their day. To be sure. the idea was
not unknown. The currency had been de-
graded often before, and wild schemes
failed. shays' rebellion in Massachu-
sets. based on fiat money ideas,
had been but recently put down
The experience of France with the as
sisnats had progressed far enough to show
the Inevitable outcome. The great Missis-
sippi scheme of John Law had not been
quite forgotten. In fact, Jefferson rejected
tie whole scheme of fiat money. and
wished to provide currency in coin that
would be worth its face value everywhere.
Tie notion of coming one metal at twice
:ts true value probably never occurred to
him: if it had been proposed, we may cas-
ily imagine the lofty scorn with which he
would have rejected 1t.
Yet this is the proposition which Mr..
Bryan is not only pressing upon the peo-
pie, but is actually invoking the name of
Jefferson to support. II Jefferson had be-
lieved that the stamp of the mint wou,d
add 100 per cent to the value to a piece of
bullion. why should he have expended so
much labor and research in trying to as
certain the commercial ratio in Euronep
