CANDIDATES COMPARED,


Mckinley was born in Canton,
Ohio, and has lived there all his
life. He is 81 years Of age.
Bryan was born in Salem, Ill.
and has lived in Nebraska. He
is 36 years old.
Mr.. Mckinley is an attorney at
law; was elected county attorney:
served five terms-or ten years IN
congress was governor two terms
or four years. Thus he has hao
fourteen years of legislative ex-
perience.
Mr.. Bryan is also an attorney
at law; never was county attorney
ser1ed two terms in congress, OF
four years; and was never COVER
nor. Thus he has had but toul
years legislative experience.
Both are good public speakers
of high order-one a typical pro
tectionist-th the other a radical fre'
silverite, One is long-trained
tried and true statesman-th'
5ther young, untried public ora
tor. Both are of Scott-Irish de
cent.
We have thus set forth the chic

price of wheat, and the immediate
effect would be to reduce the
S61O, 900, 600 to $305, 900, 900, the
present value of silver per ounce
in the coins, thus contracting the
currency Of the country to this ad-
ditional amount, making a total
contraction of S719, 100000.
@. what would be the effect on
the paper in our currency if we
should substitute the silver stand
ard for the existing gold standard!
A. The S475, 100000 OF paper,
today worth 100 cents to the dol
lar on the existing gold stand
ard, would at once decline to 80
cents on the dollar on the silver
standard, based on the price OF
silver today, the immediate effect
being to reduce the valne of the
paper now in currency to 237,
100000.
@. By abandoning the exist
ing gold standard for the silver
standard, what then would be
the first net result /?
A. The loss to the country OF
81, ,154, 500, 900, every dollar
worth 100 cents by reason OF the
existing gold standard.
G. What do you deduce from
this.
A. That we need all the
money we have and that we
want every dollar to be worth
100 cents.
@. How can we keep all the
money we have ank keep every
dollar worth 100 cents!
A. By preserving the existing
gold standard. Times Herald.

Silver-The Fall in Price.

Can the American explain why
the cheap silver of Russia and
India has not kept up the prices
in those countriess II using more
silver would benefit our farmers
by giving them higher prices, why
has it not done so where silver is
the only money used9 How can
we expect that a busbel of wheat
will buy more goods, if measured
by silver dollars, when it is found
that in countries which have al
ways had the silver standard wheat
brings no more than in America
These are questions which the
believers in sound money have
been asking ever since the present
agitation for free coinage was
started. Is it not about time that
the silverites tried to answer
them

A story is circulated that Grover
will vote tor Major Mckinley-as as
he said that he would if the Chi
cago convention nominated a free
silver man, and now it is
strengthened by the fact that he
told close friend the other day
that he would vote for Mckinley,
unless the gold wing Of the demo
cratic party nominates a gold man.

THE DOUGLAS ESTATE.

THE DOUGLAS ESTATE.
The widow of Frederick Doug
lass, Helen Douglass, filed a bill
in equity against Lewis 81. Doug
lass and the other heirs-at-laws OF
her husband praying that her hus-
band praying that his will be in
terpreted and construed with refer
ence to a legacy to her of $1,000
in United States registered bonds.
Mrs. Douglass and her son-in-
law, Lewis H. Douglass, are adj
ministrators of the estate and she
alleges that the eirs-at-law object
to the payment of this particular
legacy because no such bonds were
found as part Of the estate. She
claims, however, that it is a gen
eral legacy, that as there remains
the sum Of $23, $50 undisposed of
and not distributed, the bonds can
be purchased out Of that sum.
Mrs. Douglass is represented by
Attorney B. F. Leighton.

@. WHAT'S the existing money
standard of the country?
A. Gold, by means of which
all the silver and all the paper are
worth 100 cents on the dollar.
Q. What would be the effect il
we should abandon the existing
gold standard!
A. All the gold would leave the
country in accordance with the
never questioned law that a super
Tor money will not remain IN a
country where an inferior money
is the standard. Silverites admit
that gold is sixteen times more
valuble than silver. That is what
the "ratio Is to [" means. In
truth, today gold is 32 times more
valuable tllan silver.
O. What amount of money
would thus be withdrawn from the
country if the silver standard
should be substituted for the gold

A. Six hundred and twelve
million dollars, contracting the

Q. If the silver standard were

PREVIOUS RECORDS BROKEN

The Central High School wins The Even
ing Star cup for the scholastic athletic
championship of the District. The con-
tests on the Georgetown College campus
yesterday afternoon were all bitterly dis
puted between the representatives, and
when the final score was announced Cen
trail had away the best Of the figures.
The contests. through the courtesy of the
Georgetown College officials, took place on
the campus, and the college athletes helped
the school boys materially In making the
event a success. Not only this. the college
grounds were thrown open to the boys for
training, and Trainer Foley rounded the
boys in shape. That they showed the 1e-
suits of his honest work is demonstrated
by the records. Several of them give great
promise Of becoming cracks, and Instruc-
tor John Crossey, who has consented to
take charge of the athletes of the Column
bia Athletic Club. remarked that he would
like to have an opportunity to develop
some of the talent.
There were eleven events on the program
| The feature of the day was the excellent
work of the track officials. who kept the
program going. There were no unneces-
sary waits. and everything was over at 3
O'Clock. This was due largely to the man
agement of Mr.. Bernard ]. Wefers, the
champion Splinter.

most OF Whom were present, were: Referee,
Robert Dick Douglass; clerk Of the course
