An Urgent Appeal.

SArN"oAAppC0As
Still there is no response to this:
Please tell as hoeo a free coinage, or any
other lao, can raise the prices of the com.
modities re hare to sell and cheaper those zoe
haze to buy.
Gentlemen, we are getting anxious
about this matter.
The election is less than four weeks
away.
Your proposition embodies prin-
ciple so entirely new in human philoso-
ply and so utterly unknown in human
experience that we feel that we are
entitled to full, conclusive, self-attest-
ing explanation of its mo1us operandi.
Otherwise, both the JOURNALS vote
as an individual and Its unlimited in
fuence as paper may be lost.
This is business, gentlemen, and,
without meaning to be impertinent,
we insist upon that quality of prompt
ness which Lord Chesterfield called
"the soul of business
The JOURNAL lies awake at night
guessing and works daily wondering
how it is done.
Tell us, and tell us quickly. Don't
fool round spouting your theory in
Gath and publishing it in Askelon, but
come straight to the JOURNAL Office,
Frostburg, Md, and unbosom.
And come quickly.
Even so, come quickly.
He Comes Last Under Both Systems.
the past few weeks for some reason which
does not show itself on the surface This is
cheering news to the farmer, but not very
pleasing to the laboring man.-Erchange.
That wouldn't make any difference
over in the neigh borhood of Keyser,
W. Va, were i. wool instead of eggs.
When the ''laboring mans" welfare
over there collides with the wool
growers interest the Echo thinks the
latter has "the right of way"
The Echo Will employ in reply to this
good deal of decentralization to
squirm out of its direct partially for
the wool-grower and its indirect dis
elimination against the wool con-
sumner. but the plain fact will still re-
main that at the Mckinley feast the
latter must always sit at the second
table.
In the Bryan household it is the
silverowner, not the wool-grower,
who is to be honored.
In neither instance does the labor
ing man ever hear the petition asked
which brings the blessing to his
crumbs.
"A Blessing that Brightens as it Flies.
The value of the dollar depends upon the
number of dollars in circulation.-Hon. W.
J. Bryan.
"The number of dollars invested in
land and houses seems, then, to play
no part IN Mr.. Bryan's scheme.
Money is to lose worth by accumula-
tion and investment.
In other words, it is to be valuable
only in spendthrift patronage of spend
thrifts.
This is guarantee Of wretchedness
to all who are ''laying by something
for the inevitable rainy day."
Too keep their money good it must
be kept going.
To keep any in the pocket, or to
economlse is so much stagnation and
death.
Changing the figure, "the two birds
IN the bush" are each better than the
one that fingers in the hand.

lated two propositions
The repeal of the silver purchase
/ of the Sherman Act, anG.-
Free and unimitel coinage "that
put about 100 cents worth of sill
in each dollar, taking the average
Silver for the last II months
In support of the first he urged that
lie clause. being the cause OF alarm
"timid investors" shonld be re-
loved and thereby 'restore con-
Gdence."
In support of the second he SAID it
lis practical, honest and safe bi-metasm
on the ratio of one to twenty-five. 1t would
reopen all the silver mines of the west and
be equivalent to affording a permanent mar
ket for silver at about 50 cents per ounce.
Investors would know that silver dollar
contained as much real value as gold dollar,
and it would, therefore, pass as readily i'll
foreign business as gold. Confidence would
be restored. The gradual increase in the
supply of silver currency worth par would
proceed. The silver interests would be stable
and reasonably prosperous.
Before commenting upon the fore
reader to learn what Mr.. Bryan then
thought Of some people with whom he
seems to have since established ami
cable terms:
No people except the greedy om,ers of silyer
mines, anxious to make inordinate profit are
interested IN coinage at the ratio of one to sirteen
And, on the other hand
No people, except those avaricious owners
OF money, who profit by contracting the cur
rency are interested in prohibiting honest free
coinage of silver ct ratio of one to twenty
five. We have/no silver mines in Nebraska
and the int@fests of the people of this State
simply require free and unlimited coinage of
silver Hon the basis of its reasonable value
WHICH, can't be far from one part of gold to
twenty-five Of silver.
= If Mr.. Bryan held such opinions now
his ratio would be 80 to l next year
probably 40 to l, and so on-oplnions
warranted by the steady gravitation
of silver prices from 1873 until this
day.
This instability of value alone is
enough to stamp any scheme of ratio
as impracticable, unsound and dan
gerous, for none can tell to what
magnitude a silver dollar, so based,
will grow, nor what embarrassments
augmenting weight, increasing thick
! ness and expanding superfces will
occasion. The dollar of last year, for
instance, would not be current at par
this year, and that Of this year would
be uncurrent next, and so on.
= Seeing this inevitable result of his
logic of 1898, Mr.. Bryan doubtless
concluded at length that halfway
radicalism, if odious, was odious all
= the way through, and that if his friend
ship for silver was to be slaughtered
it might as we'll be hung, drawn and
quartered for a sheep as well as
lamb-for 16 to as we'll as % to L.
So he went to the arbitrary 16 to l.
ratio so old that it is almost tradi-
tion-an English discovery wrung
from limited English resources and
traditional English experiences dis
covery by a people who had heard
little of steam and nothing of the tele-
graph.
In short, it was a long, long step
backward, but Mr.. Bryan took it.
