WHY SILVER Is CHEAP.

The last issue OF the Chicago Timber
man contains the report " the meeting
OF a lumber association, at which a
brief speech was made by Mr.. h +
Mcmillan. This gentleman has had
four years experience in the silver
mining business, The following inter
esting statements made by him show
how immense is the stake Tor which
the miue-owners are playing silver is
enormously plenty, and anything which
would increase the output would de-
crease the price eventually, because "
Increased supply, Read what Mr. Nc
MILAN said;
The production of silver is depend
lent entirely upon the price. Unlike
gold and some other metals, there is
no apparent limit to the supply Of
workable ore II the price OF the bullion
lis high enough. There are whole
mountains that will run from five to
ten ounces per ton,
Given a sufficient price for the ore
and as much silver a De turned out
of the mountains Of Colorado as iron
from the Gogebic range
There was a time not long ago when
at sixty cents an ounce nothing under
"forty-ive ounce ore could be reduced.
but processes nave been changing and
new mines opened up, SO that in spite
of the decline in silver from its coin
age value Of N2S, the production is
very largely increased"
This improvement in mining and re-
duction methods is constantly going
on. and Mr.. Mcmillan doubted il it
would be possible to bring silver perma-
nently back 10 a parity with gold at a
ratio Of IL L l. That ratio means a
bullion value Of silver Of N2s per
ounce. measured in gold. He further
said:
II the whole world should all Of a
sudden adopt free coinage Of silver
AT that ratio, the price might sharply
advance for a time, but it is alto
"gether probable that the production
would be SO increased as to swamp
the silver markets Of the world.
ANY material advance over the pres
lent price Of bullion can be stopped
and is sure to be stopped by m in
crease in the output, so hat while on
the old methods Of mining and OF re-
'duction. silver occupied a compare
lively fixed relation to gold, 1t has 10Y
reached a point where it is bound to
decrease in value, simply because OF
the greatly decreasing cost OF produc-
'tion. which may be measured in tons
'avoirdupois, rather than in ounces

WHEAT " SILVER.

One Of Mr.. Bryan's strong points in
his appeal to the Western farmers is
that the low price Of wheat is caused
by the demonstration Of silver. To be
sure. wheat was higher in 1875 or in 1881
than it had been in 1870. but facts are
unimportant in connection with the
crime Of 1S7a" Wheat has unquestion-
ably fallen in price, and so has silver;
therefore, If we initiate the price Of
silver, the price of wheat must rise.
If the decline of wheat has been due
to the decline OF silver. how does II
happen that the price Of wheat is LOW
rising, while that Of silver is still 60
ing down? In the last week of Aug
ust. the price OF December wheat in
Chicago was SO cents a bushel. on Sat
urday last it was 67l3 cents, an adj
vance of 14ha cents, or more than % per
cent in five weeks. At the former date
the price of bar silver in New York
was 67ls cent an ounce and on Satur-
day it was 65's cents, a decline OF , per
cent.
Clearly. the prices Of both commodi-
ties are regulated in the same way. by
the worlds supply and demand. We
produce in this country more wheat
than we consume. and the price at
which we can sell the surplus abroad
determines the price 1t will command
at home. When the foreign demand
is smaller the supply from other
countries abundant-wheat declines;
when exports increase, prices rise again.
Even the most confiding Populist
must perceive that the recent upward
movement in the grain market has not
been brought about by free coinage or
by the promise Of Il. silver has not
shared in the advance, as it should have
done by the Populist theory, because
there has been no increased demand
for it. and a bushel Of wheat will buy
actually more silver today-as well as
more iron or steel or aluminum-than
when it was selling at a dollar. And
with the rise in wheat, the quotations
Of Bryan stock decline.

The full intensity Of living is reached
only by the perfectly healthy. Sick
ness discounts the capacity for enjoy
ment. II his body is all out Of order
and run down, he will not be able to
enjoy anything. no matter how full Of
enjoyment it nay be for other people.
II he is just a little bit u Of order,
If he lis not sick, but doesn't feel just
right he will only be able TO enjoy
things in a half-hearted sort Of a way.
The nearer he is to being perfectly well,
the nearer will his capacity for enjoy
ment be perfect. If this condition
doesn't exist, something ought TO he

The Oregonian says Bryan is crazy.
This seems a pretty harsh judgment
on the Popocratic candidate for presi-
dent, but in the sober light of the fol-
lowing two extracts taken from one
and the same speech recently delivered
by Mr.. Bryan, the Oregonian's criti-
cism looks like the pure milk of human
Kindness. If the mar who makes such
statement as these and calls them ar
guments" is not crazy, what is he?
Our opponents talk about 50-cent
dollars. They refuse to recognize the
fact hat the moment the minis Of the
United States are opened to the free
coinage Of silver 10000. 900 people can
"go out and secure silver, take it to the
mint, CONVEX it into money and use
that money to pay taxes and debts
with and FOR the purchase Of proper
'ty."
I'VE believe not only that the free
coinage Of silver will raise the value
''of silver bullion as measured by gold,
but we believe the demand created by
-the opening OF the United States minis
will be sufficient to take all the sur
plus silver, and there being then no
'silver upon the market which cannot
"be converted into money at our mints
"to use in the development of our in
"dustries, there will be no silver in the
world which can be purchased for less
than S1.29 an ounce in gold"

Bryan headquarters that there is much
Encouragement The truth is there is
deep and bitter dlssension on the inside
Of the Anarchist party. There is nc
doubt whatever that this is SO. There
has beer a clash between Jones and
Bryan and the latter is not only anx-
ious to do all the thinking, but TO di-
rect all the movements Of others. He is
fussing in the New York muddle. he
has made a long journey OF advertis-
ing and courtesy to New England. The
fact in the Ease is that he rattles and

The feet that Bryan is indignant be-
cause business men are interesting
themselves in the campaign for the
protection of their interests will not
deter any Of them from continuing in
that very proper and commendable
course. They realize that they have a
great deal at stake and very generally
they propose to do what they can in a
legitimate way, as American citizens,
to save their business from destruction
by panic and to avert what they rightly
conceive would be a great calamity to
the country. Mr.. Bryan says that any
one who has contributed to a nations
prosperity or added to a nations
wealth or greatness is a business man.
This definition leaves him out Of the
category of business men, but it en-
braces some of the noisy politicians and
~"curbstone orators who are support
ing him. Such of these as nave earned
a living by honest labor have contrib
uted to the nations prosperity and
wealth, but they have been gloomy fail
ures as business men and free silver
would not improve them. In fact, most
Of them are bowling for that policy
with the idea that under it they would

Candidate Bryan's furious denuncia-
items Of Great Britain come rather late
in his political life to be Of service in
this canvass. His previous record
stands in too violent contrast to his
present performances. He talks about
his intense A~mericanism, but when he
has an opportunity to demonstrate the
practical character Of his patriotism he
failed to embrace it. when the Wilson
bill was before the house. says The
Saraeagian." Mr.. Bryan was very
friendly o British manufacturers, and
did all in his power to further their
interests. AS a member of the ways

in behalf of American manufacturers,

New Policemen Sworn In by Chief
Clerk Sylvester.
This morning Chief Clerk Sylvester of the
police department swore in twenty-six Of
the newly appointed members of the force
two of them being colored. In doing SO,
the chief clerk took occasion to give them
some sound advice. He advised them that
they should always bear in mind the fact
that they are policemen, and told them
they could only earn promotions by their
efficiency. In starting out as policemen
they should avoid the use of rum on all
occasions, and especially should they re-
frain from the acceptance of free drinks
from saloon keepers. When they have
done that, he told them. they lose their in
ffuence and strength as officials, and GER
tainly this manner of putting themselves
under obligations to the liquor dealers
should be avoided man who drinks and
carries a revolver, he said, is just as liable
to kill man as is doctor who attempts
to prescribe for patients when he is under
the influence of liquor. Those who were
appointed yesterday may be sworn in this
afternoon.
