Sure Cure for Hard Times.

No more persistent misrepresenta-
tion has to be encountered in this cam
paign then the claim of the Bryanites
that the available supply of gold Is
insufficient to maintain gold standard.
If this were true. we should have known
1t long ago. The country has been upon
n gold basis in fact since 1868 and since
1878 we have had gold redemption Dur
Ing all the years between these dates
and 1892 no one said that there wasn't
enough gold to maintain a gold stand
ard. Only when our tariff was tink-
cred. our national revenue cut off and
the gold reserve drawn upon through
lack of confidence In Democratic man
agement did the gold standard give any
trouble, and then its trouble was rather
a tariff than a monetary one.
A gold standard doesn't mean that
every dollar in circulation must be a
metal dollar made of gold. 1t means
simply that whatever dollars there may
'' III VI Ut
silver-shall be kept up to the level of
gold, or in other words shall be as
good as gold. Ninety per cent. of the
business of this country is transacted
without the use of dollar in actual
cash. Bank checks are used, or other
forms Of credit paper, and these are
exchanged from hand to hand until in
the general transaction the original debt
is eliminated by a balancing of ac-
counts. There must, of course be some
money back of these credits, but sta
tistics show that with a per capita
Of about $22 of real money we sustain
on an average a per capita of 800 or
more in credits. These credits would
shrivel enormously if we should go on
a silver basis. Those credits rest on
confidence. Nothing is clearer than that
bankers and business men generally do
not take stock in the silver movement.
They are afraid Of 1t. They nave no
confidence in 1t. If 1t should prevail,
they would call in their credit accom-
modations as far as possible and there
would be most serious and distressing
panic.
There is more money today in exist
ence in this country than there ever
was before-more in the aggregate, and
more to each individual. But most of
that money is lying idle in bank vaults.
Why7 Because business men lack con-
fidence. Investors won't invest. Mer-
chants won't buy. The silver move
;nent has frightened them. They don't
want to put out 1O0-cent dollars and
get back dollars worth only SO cents
in purchasing power. Capital is scared.
1t has gone into hiding. It needs some
assurance of stability to bring 1t out,
and to get it moving with the old-time
velocity in the various channels of
trade. We can have prosperity once
more Just as we had 1t prior to 1892,
but to do 30 we must restore the condi-
tions under which IL came to US in days
gone by-in other words, we must for
tify sound money by re-establishment

HIS ONE APPEAL.
ON the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
1t is worthy of note that Mr.. Bryan in
making special and certainly unbecominG
appeals to the farmers mechanics and
workingmen whom he classes as the COM
mon people, speaks only in favor of ad-
vancing the market price of silver. He
seems to be the advocate of that single in
terest, that is one Of the smallest of the
productive interests of the country. He
gives no promise that the farmers wheat,
corn and other products shall be doubled
in value: no promise that the wages OF
the mechanic and laboring man shall be
doubled in value; no promise that the
iron, coal and cotton, which employ mil
lions Of people, shall be doubled In value;
in short, he gives no promise of apprecia-
ton in price i'm the product of any indus
try but the silver producers of our west
ern mountains.

REPUDIATED AT HOME.
Binghamton Herald.

From the Bnghamton Herald
We wish Mr.. Bryan well We really have
nothing against the gentleman, but he is
mistaken. He is advocating that which
would work great injury TO the country.
This IL recognized in his own state as this
campaign of education progresses. 1t Is
being shown that the free silver craze in
Nebraska Is dying out for the simple rea-
son that it rests upon no substantial
foundation: it will not bear the search
light Of investigation.

THE BRYAN IDEA.

From the Tmes-Herall.
Admit all the manufactures of the world
free to our shores and let our labor shift
for itself.
Drive out all our goldS admit the silver
metal of the world free to our mints. and
make our people take inferior dollars of
fluctuating value in place of our present
dollars worth 100 cents each gold, paper
or silver.
Free trade, 5o-cent fuctuating dollars.
No gold

Good Advice.

The Buffalo Enquirer thinks there is
one plain fact to be kept before the
people in this presidential canvass. 'In
1892 the Democratic party promised free
trade and represented 1t as the great
est possible boon to the farmer and
the working man. 1t was to bring on
prosperous times, renew the golden age

From the mes-Herald.

From the Times Herald.
Collect enough revenue at the custom
house to put an end to the treasury de-
ficiency. and keep American mills and fac.
tories running with American labor.
Keep all our present dollars, gold, silver
and paper, current at their present fixed
value of 100 cents each.

Bryan says he is Democrat; but the
Democrats whose opinions In the past

this and repudiate him utterly. What

taken

and wipe away all tears from all eyes.
What has been the result? Where Is
free trade? Where are the good times?
This year the Democratic party
promises free coinage Of silver at l6 to
1. 1t is also represented as the greatest
possible boon to the farmer and the
working man. 1t Is to bring on pros
porous times, renew the golden age, and
wipe away all tears from all eyes. Are
the people ready to accept this story
after the disastrous deception of 1882?
Are we such fools as TO believe not only
in the philosophers stone and the uni
versal solvent in politics, but to believe
that a new cure-all can be brought for
ward every four years?"
The Enquirer's advice Is to 'set aside
all such nonsense. hold the party In
power responsible for its own record,
and turn it out as a failure, and be-
cause 1t has been a failure" That is
what the people propose to do.
Does the Times think its readers
can be influenced by such drivel as
that Mckinley is the candidate of
syndicate? Does it imagine they have
ceased to remember how Mckinley
was forced on the Republican leaders
at st. Louis by an unparalleled upris-
ing of the common people in his favor?
Has it itself forgotten how the bosses
were bowled over one after another
by the spontaneous movement Of the
masses toward McKinley-a movement
which compelled his nomination on the
first ballot against field containing
such strong rivals as Thomas B. Reed.
Levi p. Morton. William Il. Allison
Shelby NJ. Cullom, Cushman X. Davis
and NJ. S. Quay? If any candidate
ever received n nomination straight
from the people, william Mckinley did.
The claim of Bryan that he is the
accredited spokesman of the people is
sheer presumption. 1t Will be repudl-
ated by them next November.
