not that sort of a hypocrite, if we cor
rectly estimate him. and it is an insult to
him to say otherwise.
Mr.. Mckinley said: "Good money

said: "Money can be too good" viii
the people of this country have difficulty
n determining which is right?
Among the best speeches being made
n this campaign are those coming from
that little two-story porch at Canton.
1t requires no argument to see why
Bryan and his followers do not want 70

1t is the mills and not the mints that

that of wages for the people and q rev.

Bryan is now being called the business
killer. He meanders through the East
making silver speeches and the mills and
factories close in his wake.

Effect of Imitation.
SENATOR T.OnCN

Well, it is easy to mark up prices. A
man can go over his stock of goods in
the morning and mark them up with q
blue pencil; but you cannot go over the
salaries and the wages of this country
with a blue pencil in the morning and
mark them up.
During our war. when we had an in
fated currency and prices rose, the aver
age price of commodities rose 80 per
cent; labor rose about 40 per cent.
There was a net loss to labor of about
80 per cent, a net reduction Of wages to
that extent. Labor always, in case Of
q deprecated currency, lags behind 9TH
er prices. It is inevitable; all history
and all experience shows it. They tried
It in France in the last century; they
tried the imitation of the currency to the
last extent. You read the history of
that period; you find in the debates of
the French convention at the time of the
Revolution-which resembled q good
deal, in many respects, the convention ut
Chicago-you find it constantly said:
1--WE aFe SO great: France is so powerful,
so civilized, 8 o free, that she can raise
the price Of money, she can maintain
n system she wants." And they issued
the assignats based on the public land;
there wal land behind them all; they
were not merely i~rredeemable paper;

Bryan as an Orator.

But Mr.. Bryan I know somewhat, and
find in his habits of life many. things
to admire. He is q man of undoubted
talent, a talent for the stage, perhaps.
rather than for statecraft. He is o kind
husband and an indulgent father. He
steal or gamble-in short, he has not Q
single redeeming vice that l know. of,
unless it might be lying: and eve there
l have had spells of thinking he believes
himself. Moreover, Mr.. Bryan is a man
of rare eloquence, although anyone read.
ing his speeches would be pardoned for
doubling the assertion. Reduced to
and bombast, while those sclf-same
words, spoken in Bryan's voice-a voice
as melliluous as the sweetest pipe in
yonder organ-would stir your heart,
just as would the voice of a great sim
ger, by the very quality. of tone. Add to
this a handsome, graceful presence and
imagine that It matters very little to
Mr.. Bryan's audience what Mr.. Bryan
says, SO long as he keeps on saying it.
The mistake he made in Madison
Square garden was in the attempt to ar.
que. He ought never to do that, for
the divine attribute of reason was left
out of his mental makeup.
But, my friends, there is not a word
in this encomium which would not with
equal truth and appropriateness apply
to another famous Nebraskan, whose ex.
ploits are inseparably linked with the
history of Omaha; whose habits are az
regular as the sun, whose character is
as impeccable as Bryan's own, whose
presence is just as handsome, whose
powers of speech were formerly just as
great and have wrought many an audi.
ence to tears, to laughter and to frep.

ticket on which Mr.. Bryan is running
for the presidency is essentially his
own, although two other gentlemen have
been casually mentioned in connection
with it-one trying to get off and the
other trying to get on. Here, you OBJ
serve, is a sort of political cerebus, with
not the best of feeling between the ca.
nine collaterals. Mr.. Bryan's predica-
ment is not without embarrassment. He
must feel as bewildered with these two
a%ppendages as the proverbial cat with
a like number of tails. He has probably
prevailed upon Mr.. Sewall to stay where
lie is, whereas Tom Watson wants to
know. He wants to know where he is
at" He wants to know whether he is

Bryan for Fiat Money.

EX-SENATOR WARNER MILLER.
MI. Bryan at heart cares nothing for
the free coinage of silver. Mr.. Bryan
Is first and last a believer in fiat money,
and he is only using the free coinage
Of silver to arrive at that finally. This
is a serious charge to make. but if l
cannot prove it I will apologize publicly
for it.
In the September number of the Arena
Just last month-there is an article on
the currency by Mr.. Bryan. in which
he criticises Mr.. Cleveland severely for
using bonds in time of peace, and espe-
He says, "W6en the United States,
without waiting for the aid or consent
Of any other nation, opens its mints to
the free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver at the present legal ratio of
16 to ! it will bring real relief to its peo-
pie, and will lead the way to the restora-
ton Of b%imetallism throughout the world.
It will then be prepared to perfect its
financial system by furnishing q paper
money invested with legal tender quail
ties n sufficient in volume to supply
the needs of the government. Its paper
money will not be loaned then to favor
ties, but will be paid out in the expenses
OF government, SO that all may receive
the benefits"
This is fat money. pure and simple.
Mr.. Bryan proposes to stop taxation and
pay the expenses of the government by
printing fiat money. This government
once launched upon that boundless sea
would as certainly fall and go down as
did the French republic. which was set
up at the close of the last century by
a lot of theorists and revolutionists.
They issued during a few years forty
thousand millions of francs of fat money
called assignats and mandats. They
gave a legal-tender quality to It, but
while it could pay debts they could
chase: In other words. they could give
they could not give purchasing power
to it. From day to day it was issued,
until finally it all disappeared as utterly
worthless. Not a single franc of it was
ever paid or redeemed, and the people
who had parted with their property
for it were rendered paupers. Their
property was gone and the money they
had received was %valueless.
Shall this be- n lesson to us? And
can we contemplate the probability of
putting into power as President of the
United States a man who holds such
views? In my humble opinion there is
but one way to bring US back to prosper.
ity and to the path of progress, and that
tration which has been of such great
benefit to us in the past, and to follow
in that path, to follow the lamp of ex-
perience. To do that every true, honest
American citizen, without distinction of
party, should unite in this attempt at
restoration, and should by an overwhelm-
ing majority stamp out now and forever
the heresy and the folly of a cheap and
debased currency.

GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK

"No mans labor of yesterday or last
gear can be preserved, except by some
representative or token of it, and money
is the almost universally adopted agent
for that purpose. Nothing in the world
should be SO anxious as labor that the
token which represents it should be un-
varying and reliable. = Who can
preserve until tomorrow the labor of to-
day? 1t cannot be done, and the only
means of securing it's benefits is to ro-
ceive and preserve some token which
shall stand in its stead and which may
be used as future needs may require"
And further on the speaker said: "If a
is robbed, it is a crime and he may
have redress. If a bank fails and pays
him only So cents IN the dollar, it is q
misfortune, and he is not yet without
hope of recovery. But if he votes away
cents of every dollar, it is his own
fault, and he has nothing to condemn
but his own folly, which will remain
with him much longer than his money"
