Many of the wealthy men who
are most active workers for free
silver lend money and rent huild-
ings, and their contracts contain
clauses that payment shall be
made in gold. Among these men
are Senator Stewart, Pennoyer, of
Oregon and Gov. Altgeld, of
Illinois. They pretend to believe
that silver dollar will be worth
as much as gold dollar if we have
free coinage of silver, yet specify
that money due them shall be paid
in gold. If these men were honest
in their professions it would seem
that contract providing for pay
ment in gold or silver would he all
that they would ask of their
debtors. It is one of the many
actual facts in business affairs
which shows that the free silverites
do not expect that the parity of
gold and silver will be maintained
if both me tals are allowed free
coinage at a ratio of 16 to 1. The
bullion ratio in the whole world is
about 81 to 1.

with all sorts of wild animals as game

heavily wooded and already abounds In

brown bears there, as well as foxes, mink,
otter and wild ducks and geese, while in
the numerous streams the finest kind Or
brook trout and salmon fishing is to be
found. But M. Menier wants other sport
for his gun, so he has agents out in various
parts of Canada who have orders to secure
herds Of red deel, moose, caribou and speci-
mems of smaller fur bearing animals.
Already some big game animals have
been secured, and in another, year the

ing done on his preserves, for every inhabit-
ant of the island will be dependent Of
his and will be under the authority Of q
governor, whom he has appointed. Tho
colony will be located at the western end
Of the island and is to be composed largely
Of families taken from the French agricul-
tural districts. Several shiploads of frame
houses have been shipped from Quebec to
Anticosti as we'll as a number Of larger
buildings, including church and several
factories.
NJ Menier has quite respectable navy
at his command, for besides his big yacht
Velleda, 175 feet long, and several smaller
craft he has purchased two steamers, one
10 make regular trips from France to Anti
cost in the summer and another to ply be-
tween the island and Quebec. A cargo OF
horses cattle and other domestic animals
has been shipped to Anticosti, for it is the
intention of NJ. Menier to have his French
farmers go into the dairy business extern
tvely. The settlers will also be engaged
IN sea fishing, for the waters swarm with
sod, halibut and herring at certain seasons
Of the year. A lobster cannery IS to be
established too.
The summe; population of Anticosti has
ranged from 500 to 5000, but during tho
long severe winter scarcely $50 persons
nave remained there of late years The
new colonists will be permanent settlers,
however, and will raise the population to
500 or more NJ. Menier will be an almost
absolute monarch among them during the
three summer months which he proposes
to spend there The settlers, it Is said,
have to agree neither to use nor handle al
ooholic liquors and to observe certain other
regulations which tho ruler of Anticostl
may see fit to make. A railroad line sew

It is certainly unique enterprise for
millionaire to engage in, but NJ. Menier is
said to be quite enthusiastic about it.

One ounce of gold will still buy
81 ounces of silver in the United

of the known world. It is only
about two months before the

of silver will be worth 1 ounce of

A free silverite does not need to
bet on the election to have chance
to double his money. He can take
a chance to double it, with almost
a certainty of losing but little.
Bryan is making his campaign on
the proposition that if he wins
silver will increase in value to
81 90 an ounce in gold. It is now
worth about 66 cents an ounce.
If he buys silver, and Bryan is
elected and does what he says he
will do, the buyer Of silver will
nearly double his money; if Bryan
is not elected the silver buyer will
still have his silver and not lose
anythine-unless the market price
of silver falls. In fact if the
believer in Bryan betsilver dollars
even that Bryan would be elected,
he would make about the same
perc entage if he won as he would
If he invested his present silver
dollars in silver bullion at the
present price. He would about
double his money in either event.
If he held the bullion he would
stand little chance Of losing and
just as good chance to double
ESQ says Brvan) as though he
made straight bet. No Bryan
man should bet even; he should
buy silver bullion and double his
money. With such a chance it is
in factsurprising that there IS not
more demand for silver bullion as
speculation. Most any result is
possible in an election; but the
fact is that few people believe that
Bryan's election would make silver
worth $1.29 an ounce in gold or
anywhere near that figure. The
condition of the silver market IS as
emphatic testimony against Bryan
as the Vermont election.
