Everybody but Popocrats learn by
experience. It is the only safe guide
that we have. No matter how firmly
sensible man may have believed an un-
tried thing yesterday, he will surrender
his belief to-day if an actual trial de-
monstrates its falsity. This is the posi-
ton of the sensible portion Of the people
of the United States. Prior to 1890
the great majority of our people were
strongly favorable to silver. 1t was one
of our most important products, 1t had
ALWAYS been one of the worlds money
metals. and we were reluctant to have
the tide set against it. We had resumed
the coinage of silver, and gone on for
years filling up the Treasury with
millions of dollars which nobody would
take and use. In spite of lis, silver
kept falling. Then, in 1890, we re-
solved upon the herculean stroke OF
buying up all Of our own product, and
removing it from competition in the
worlds market. We felt certain that if
we kept our own product at home,
safely locked up in the vaults of the
Treasury, where dealers could feel that
it would not be unloaded" on them
at an inconvenient moment, that the
world would readily absorb the rest OF
its production, and the price of silver
would rise to par. Nothing could
be more reasonable. The thing was
done. The Secretary Of the Treasury
was instructed to buy 100000 ounces
month, 54,0O0,000 ounces a year.
He did SO for nearly three years. At
first the price advanced in the most
gratifying manner, and reached at one
time 1922 an ounce.
Then everybody went to mining sill
! yer. New mines were opened, and old
ones extended. The price fell rapidly.
BY the end Of 1890 it was down to
S1.O4; by the end of 1891 it was 50 1-5
cents: at the end of 1892 it was 80
cents and in October, 1893, it was Il
cents. The result of this experiment
convinced everybody who has any
reason in him. The Government had
lost about $45,0O0,000 in this latest
effort to boost silver, and the metal was
lower than it had ever been. The Sher-
man Act was therefore repealed. Yet,
| in the face of this conclusive demon
stration, Mr.. Bryan continues to say that
he "believes silver will 90 to S1.29
an ounce if we have Free Coinage.
We have seen a number of men who
believed that certain horse. could
trot mile in 2:30. They were willing
to put up their money to back that be-
lief. When the test came, and it was
found that he could not do it i'll less
than three minutes, they wisely dropped
him, with their money, and looked
around for faster horse. Mr.. Bryan
does not seem to have that sort of COM
mon sense.

FROM OHIO.

II. NJ Robinette returned yesterday
from trip to Columbus, Ohio. He was
seen by Times reporter, and the follow
ing inforna ton concerning the political
situation was CLEANED from him. He
thinks there is II likelihood that Bryan
may carry Ohio, but he is inclined to think
that Mckinley will get the electoral vote
OF the State. He bases this opinion on
Mark Hanna's money, which is being
spent so literally, and to the further fact
That every possible effort is being made
by railroads and corporations to force the
employees Co vote for MCKINLEY. In Cat
tletsburg, Ky, practically everything is
for Bryan. Mr.. Robinette saws the coke
ovens in the Flat Top coal regions are all
working, Notwithstanding reports to the
contrary.
