That is what we Americans spend for tea every year not quite $1 each person.

 The reason is plain: tea isn't good enough; it is sold Especially in this State) for looks, not for tea excellence. You demand a pretty tea of your grocer for thirty or forty cents a pound, and he gives it to you; but it is not good tea, it is not pure tea.

1S7S-namely, policy which makes
gold the standard of value, and then
with limited coinage of silver, rs well
as with limited issue of paper money
causes both of these kinds of money
to be kept up to par value with gold

that all of it's money shall be main

This system has proved not only in
America, but also in England, France
and Germany, and other countries, to
be the most stable, elastic, practical
and serviceable, and therefore the best
system of finance ever used in all
human history. Why, then, should we

BRYAN'S BOGUS RETURN TO BIMETALLISM.

First, That with the free coinage
OF gold and silver 1t is impossible to
keep both metals in circulation at the
same time. From 1892 to 1884, under
free coinage, gold was under-valued; it
was not worth as much in money as in
bullion. Consequently it was every
where boarded or kept out of circula-
tion. So also from 1884 to 1873, when
free coinage also reigned, silver was
under-valued, and went out of circula-
tion for the same reason as gold had
before. Here, then was a period of
81 years during which Gresham's law
of the departure from circulation Of the
legally debased or under-valued coin
was fully demonstrated.
Second, Another equally important
lesson is that no legislation, especially
under modern conditions, is able so to
change the market value of silver as to
keep it on par with gold. The Bland
bill, and particularly the Sherman act,
was passed for the very purpose of
Strengthening our national credit
with regard to silver. Under the lat
ter 168,O0O,OOO ounces of silver, which
was supposed to be equal to the entire
output of our American mines, were
purchased by the government, and
much of it coined into money. Still
the metal declined continually in mar
ket value, from$1.17 in 1890 to Is cents
in 1898, when the Sherman act was
repealed. This proves conclusively
that Mr.. Bryan's firm conviction"
about the rising of silver to $1.29 under
a 16 to 1 free coinage law, is simply
absurd.
Third, But perhaps the most i'm
portant of all the lesson to be derived
from our one hundred years experience
in the use of silver is the fact that the
only practical bimetallism ever used
by our United States government, or
the only method by which gold and sill
yer have both been kept in circulation,
is the policy which we have had since
1873, or in a more perfected form, since

! FACTS FOR WORKINGMEN.

1. 1t is a fact that in all silver stand
ard countries workingmen receive much
less for their labor than in gold stand
ard countries. Wages in Mexico for
common laboringmen is So per week;
in China and Japan it is about 81.
2. It is a fact that of all men the
laborer has most interest in the cleo
tion of Mckinley and Hobart; for the
success of the silver ticket means the
deprecition, or the cutting down to
about half value, of the workingman's
wages. Besides, the industrial eStab-
lishments now closed will not start UP
under the general panic and financial
insecurity sure to result from an at
tempt to put our money system on a
silver standard basis.
g. It is a fact that even now the la
boringman's wages are higher in pro-
portion than are either manufactured
goods or farm product. Moreover, it
is not true that during period of
twenty-five years past the wages of
laboring men have declined. In 1870
the average yearly pay received by men
working in factories was $310; in 1890
it was $4S9
4. II is fact that under the Harri-
son administration laboringmen, as
we'll as others engaged in business, en-
joyed greater prosperity than they do
now. Not only did they then receive
larger wages, but work was much more
in demand and easier to find.
5. II is fact that a protective tariff,
while beneficial to the manufacturer
and to owners of capital invested in in
dustry, helps particularly the working
man: because it, more perhaps than
any other governmental regulation, in
