Miss Nan Kelly, daughter of Judge and
Mrs. William L. Kelly, was announced

Answer TO D. w. McYey of the Sixth
District.

To THE EDITOR OF THE WHIG: While So
journing for a few weeks in Rlsingsun and
vicinity happened to glance over copy of
the midland Journal dated July &c, 1896,
in which was published communication
written by D. Webster Mcvey, which relates
to the financial issue OF the present campaign
Mr.. McVey undertakes in this article to
eX Jain how the farmers and wage earners
are being oppressed by the so-called monopo-
lists. His Arrangement of the manufacturers,
bankers and corporations is amusing. He
cites Stewart and Teller as great and good
men ''whose souls are for the salvation of the
great mass of the American people, He
fails to say that Stewart is Il silver mine
owner worth 100000 900. and Teller belong
ing to the same class worth 100000. In
stead of these men being such great friends
OF the American people," the silver issue

M'kINLEY'S ABLE LETTER.

Hon. William Mckinley in his letter of
acceptance as the Republican candidate for
the Presidency presents to the voters of
this country able arguments showing how
our national prosperity depends upon hon
est money, protection and reciprocity. 1t
points how our country prospered under
Republican rule, and how appalling was
the change wrought by distrust of Demo
cratic administration, whose tariff law
prostrates business, and which now seeks
to add further injury by debasing the cur
rency Every voter will join Mr.. McKin-
ley in the declaration that the need of the
times is mot open minis for the unlimited
coinage of the silver of the world but open
mills for the full and unrestricted labor of
American workingmen.

M'kINLEY TRUISMS FOR WORK
ING MEN AND FARMERS.

"The way 10 help labor is to provide it
with steady work and good wages, and
then have those good wages always paid in
good money as sound as the government,
and as untarnished as its flag"
''No matter what kind of money we have
we can not get it without whether
it is poor or good-gold or silver. We can
not get one dollar unless we have employ
ment for our hands or heads"
''Can the farmer be helped by free coinage
OF silver? He can not be helped because if
the nominal price of grain were to rise
through an initiation of the currency the
price of everything else would rise also.
and the farmer would be relatively no
better off than he was before. He would
not get any more real value for his grain
tkan he gets now, and would suffer from
the general decentralization which would
follow the free coinage of silver"
''Iou can not help the farmer by more
coinage of silver; he can only be helped by
more consumers for his products "
Better a thousand times enlarge the
markets for American products than to
enlarge the minis for the silver product of
the world"
'Iou can not add value to any thing by
diminishing the measure Of the value with
which the thing is sold or exchanged"
Free silver will not increase the demand
for your wheat or make single new con-
sumner. You don't get consumers through
the mint. You get them through the
factories.

the universal decline in the price Of
silver.
Mexican dollars contain more silver than
ours, but can be bought for 80 cents.
Between 1878 and 1890 under the Bland
Allison Act, and from 1890 to 1893 under
the Sherman Act, there were bought and
coined, or stored, silver bullion amounting
in coinage value to nearly $l65, 000,0 600
substantially the entire American product
not needed for export or for the arts. The
coined dollars were legal tender, as good
as could be Used under free coinage Yet
the price of fine silver fell from Sl.20 in
1877 to SO cents in 1894. What are Mr..
Bryan's convictions on this subject worth?
Mr. Bryan also insists that the demonet-
izatiOn OF silver by the leading COM
mercial nations of the world, including
the United States, has reduced silver to its
present value, and that its reconciliation
by the United States alone will restore it
to its former value
Considering the facts that when "the
crime Of 1873, so called, was committed
there were no silver silver dollars in
circulation in the United States, and none
were being coined; and that only some
S., 600, 900, had been coined up to that
date, it would appear that decentralization
by the United States was very trivial
factor in the decreased value of silver. and
that Mr.. Bryan labors under huge mis-
take in regard to the effect of remonetiza-
ton by the United States alone.

My Eighty-Seventh Birthday.

Degrees of longitude contract
As they approach the poles;
So years OF life seem less exact
AS their course onward rolls
The school boy thinks with Christmas past;
A lonG time to another,
But he will find they're TRAVELLING fast
AS they succeed each other.
When look back for eighty years.
On ifes advancing stage,
A different state of things appears,
In this progressive age.
No iron horse was on the rail
And with his mighty force
Carrying passengers and mail
Along his flying course.
The painters brush in former days
Alone could shade the line.
Now sunbeams paint with magic grace
The human face divine.
Electric currents in their might
Perform important parts,
In driving cars, in shedding light.
And many useful arts.
Beneath the waves of ocean,
Where tossing navics ride,
The cables gentle motion
Speaks on the other side.
The reaper with his task begun
Cast not IL look behind
But labored on beneath the sun,
Now horses reap and bind.
Maker omnipotont, may we
Thy goodness still proclaim,
Ever adore Thy majesty
And bless Thy sacred name.

SOME MISTAKES OF BRYAN.

In his New York speech Mr. Bryan said
he was "frmly convinced that by opening
our minis to free and unlmited coinage
at the present ratio we can create de-
mand for silver which will keep the price
Of silver bullion at $1.29 per ounce,
measured by gold"
In cherishing such conviction Mr..
Bryan closes his eyes to our own monetary
history and ignores the experience of every
other nation that has tried free coinage.
France abandoned free coinage because Of
