THE bland ACT.

As soon as the Bland act went into
force tho enemies OF free silver proceeded
TO repeal the Bland act, and left nothing
in it's place. But the silver sentiment
grew unit, 1890, and in that year the op-
ponents of Tree coinage. being afraid OF
a frse coinage pill secured another COM
promise, which was known as the SheI-
man law.-BRYAN's Columbus Speech.
Mr.. BRYAN says: "As soon as the
Bland act went into force, the enemies OF
free silver proceeded to repeal the Bland
act" This Blsnd act went into operation
Feb. 2s, 1878. and continued in operation
over twelve years. During that period
over fifty times as many silver dollars
were ed as hsd beer coined in the
eighty one years preceding the act OF 1873.
This was accompanied by constant fall in
the price OF silver, until tho bullion in
silver dollar was worth about 20 cents.
Mr.. BRYAN says: "They proceeded to re-
peal the Bland law, but left nothing
in its place." The very act which re-
pealed 1t put the Sherman law in it's
place, although he adds in the same
breath: "Ihe silver sentiment grew un-
til 1890, and in that year the opponents
OF free coinage, being afraid OF the pass
age of free coinage bill, secured another
com promise, which was known as the
sherman law" BY this distortion of
facts, well known to everybody, who
has given the question any attention,
Mr.. BRYAN attempts to deceive those
who are not familiar with the subject.

Nothing is more absurd than the
charge frequently made by the Poro-
cratic campaigners and officially enunci-
ated by Chairman JONES Of the Popo-
cratic National Committee, 10 the effect
that thousands OF workingmen are wear
ing MCKINLEY buttons and attending
MCKINLEY meetings because they fear
to call down npon their heads the III
Will Of their soulless employers and when
election day comes they are going 10
vote for BRYAN and half pay.
OF course this is a gratuitous insult to
Employers and wage earners, chiefly the
latter, we should Say. But we need not
take the matter so seriously as TO call 1t
an insult. II is a ridiculous charge, an
ingman is neither coward nor fool.
On the contrary he often enough
demonstrates the courage OF hi' convic-
iions 10 the point OF recklessness. lie
docs not hesitate TO rige up against injus-
tice real, believed, or only assumed. Ho
will battle with his employer over oven
a trivial grievance. He has yet TO
give tho first indication that he
does not feel that his soul is his
own. In tie past ne has acted and
voted against his own interests, as IL has
appeared, rather than be Influenced by
what strikes him as only the interests
Of his employer. lie may sometimes be
charged with folly, but never with COW
ardice. For what ne believes 10 be bis
rights he has protested, gone on strike,
and starved himself. For q matter OF
pure principle with nothing material
al stake he has sacriicei himself like
martyr. lie rarely has hesitated because
OF expedlency to combat his employer
and the opinions OF bis employer. He is
a very daredevil in a controversy.
The whole world recognizes the courage
of the American workingman IN stand
ing up for himself. Nobody, much less
his immediate employer, would dare TO
fool with his temper in any such fashion
as the Popocratic campai igners indicate.
The charge Is absurd. The assumption is
ridiculous. Coercion OF the kind indi-
Gated Is impossible. The EN- mployer knows
that. The worKingman would scoff at
the idea. 1t would be safe to offer a
five dollar bill for any demonstrated case
of workingman who today is wearing a
MCKINLEY button against his convic-
tions. IL BILLY BRYAN looks for his votes
to the woIkingmen who are wearing Nc
KiNLEy buttons he is the most deluded
man on the continent

SILVER MONoMETALLIsM NOT b.
META LLISM.

METALLISM
Trat the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio OF 10 to 1 means sill
yer monometallism ha, been SO often
stated In speech and writing that this
proposition has become thoroughly
familiar TO the people OF the United
States. Mr.. BRYAN, indeed, denies it,
nud roiterates that free coinage means n
return to "bimetallsm.' The "HsnG-
book OF Money" however, cirulated az
a silver Democratic campaign document.
contains an appendix entitled, IA Silver
Basis" in which the following distinct
avowal occurs on page 29i:
"To oil Informed people silver basis
means simply the business OF the United
States done with silver dollars, or their
psper representatives,, and premium on
gold for foreign use-wbich would
amount TO iarin on imports from gold
ccuntries III sucn an end could be
reached--which Is impossiole-it would
be the richest OF blessings to the Ameri-
can people"
rhe author Of this appendix goes on TO
explain how end why it would be a bless
ing II would "relesse our gold from
domestic use just so far ss it could ne
done without the fsli OF prices below
the European level. Every million or
hundred millions OF dollars so released
wouli increase the money volume of
Europe, and with II the returns for
every one OF our commodities sent 10 gold
countries" lie quotes with approval
Judge HrILYER's pamphlet entitled "a
silver Hssis," IN which the Uuited States
is included In the list OF nations "using
silver exclusively" n free coinage act
should be adopted.
IL is true thst he argues that this
country cannot reach an exclusively
silver basis. Why notf Because, as he
asserts. "there can ne no premium on
gold under tree coinage az 10 TO L."
This "a not only pure assertion, unsur-
ported by a scinlilla OF proof, hut IL Is
an assertion believed by the abiest nuan-
ciers ana economists to be contrary to
the truth. The declaration that "ihe

reduced from 2.21 cents per ton per mile
in 1873, to S3-100ths of a cent per ton per
mile in 1896, This is reduction OF 62
per cent. in average rates of freight. The
average price of No. 2 Sr-ing wheat In
Chicago during the year 1873, as reported
in the official report of the Chicago
Board OF Trade was sl.18 per
bushel IN currency, equiva lent to
sl.o4 in gold. The same grade of
wheat Is selling today IN Chicago for 6s
cents, thus being reduction in selling
price OF wheat since 1873 OF only "a per

has fallen "a per cent. since 1873, the rail-
road freight rates have fallen 81 per cent.

they readily gave an order on their Bonn

which says: "The Ssrsaparilla was duly
