Another Popocratic Forgery.

prolong It's reign by working upon the

forgery on the face of IL, notwithstand-
inc the fact that Bryan has made use

the life OF Lincoln. had access 10 all
his papers. aud who. as private secre-
tary' personally knew Of Lincoln's pub
liz addresses. Is the best possible au-
thority on the subject When he says
that Lincoln "never said or wrote any
thing that by the utmost license could
be distorted 10 resemble IT," there can
be no doubt Of the forgery. No can

RISES
WHEAT
WHY
Great Natural Demand for the Cereal, but the
White Metal Is Drug on the Market.

While silver for weeks has been drop
ping practically without interruption
from about 40 cents an ounce TO less than
60 cents. wheat has been shooting up as
If il had wings.
IL Is peculiarly interesting at this time,
when Mr.. Bryan and the other soon-to-
be-snuffed-out lights Of the free-slver
heresy have been examining variety of
pleasing fctions down the throats Of
farmers, 20 call attention to the practical
ly simultaneous rise in wheat and drop
in silver
Probably the frce-silver folk will say In
regard 10 the remarkable rise in wheat
about III cents bushcl In month:
what did we tell youy It's as clear as
daylight; everybody knows that free sill
yer viii succeed, hence they are buying
wheat now. as IL will 20 TO a dollar at
least after Mr.. Bryan's election. That's
why Europe is buying such quantities of
wheat"
Won't Work Both ways.
II this is the frec-silver argument for
the advance IN wheat, why is il that Eu-
rope Is not buying silver at Ga cents an
ounce. IL Mr.. Bryans election will raise
its price 20 x1.29?
Mr.. Bryan's contention has been that il
was impossible for wheat to rise as long
as the gold standard prevailed. Mr..
bryan knew as wei as any of us that
he was lying when he said that. What
does he say about il now. His silence
on the subject is most expansive. Posi-
bly, he is racking his brains 10 account
Tor H., and IL is probable he may get of
something equally Illuminating as his ex-
PLANTATION of the gold import movement.
The fact is, this advance in wheat,
wholly due as II is 10 natural causes,
Is a stunning blow 20 the free silver
fallacy. IL is useless TO tell the farmer
that he cannot get more for his wheat

BYNUM Is CONFIDENT.
What the Chairman of the Gold
Standard Democracy Says.

CHICAGO. Nov. 2-The Hon. William d.
Rynum chairman OF the national gold
standard Democracy, made the following
statement this afternoon:
II have every confidence in the result of
the election tomorrow. / cannot believe
that the conservative forces which have
combined 10 save the country from dishon-
or can be defeated by the opposing ele-
ments however desperate they may be-
Our campaign has been almost wholly con-
fined to the doubtful or close States, our
principal work having been done in Mime
sofa. Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, West Virginia, Missouri, Kan
sas and Nebraska. L feel sure
all these States will declare for
sound money and, If so, the
result will be due largely to the efforts of
sound-money Democrats. Had not the
sound-money Democrats OF the west and
South come to the rescue OF the issue at
the critical moment the result TO say the
least. would have been exceedingly doubt
full. The wisdom of our action has become
more evident each succeeding day. We not
only preserved the sound-money sentiment
i'm the Democratic party. but checked the
break from the Republican to the free
silver ranks, and have been an important
factor in building up healthy sentiment
in both parties. 1t was certainly a peculiar
situation that required Democratic speak
Democratic principles 10 influence Repub-
licans to vote their own ticket.
The action of the sound-money Democ-
racy has unquestionably. had very lib
eraiizing influence on the leaders of the
Republican party, and Will result In a
united effort TO accomplish needed reforms
i'm our financial system. While the first
requisite of sound financial system is
that it must be attached to stable stand
ard it nevertheless must be so framed as
to answer the requirements of commerce,
and therefore must possess elasticity. A
sound financial system is essential TO the
preservation of our system of credit, be-
cause without the latter we could not carry
on our trade for a single day.
1t is impossible to conjecture at this
time what course the sound-money Demo-
Gratis will pursue after the election. The
result of the election will have much infiu-
ence in shaping our movements in the fu-
ture. We shall probably have meeting
of the executive committee at early
day for the purpose OF closing up our busi-
ness affairs, and no doubt the fortunes of
the sound-money organization will then be
considered
