MR.. BRYAN'S INCOME.
SAYS HE NEVER Received MONEY
FROM MiNEowNER5.

An Unequivocal Denial Of Senator Thurs-
toms Alleged chsrrss-UhAlIense TO ths
RepubiIcan National Committee-says
He IL Prepared TO Furnish Proof.
UPPER RED HOOK, N. Y, Aug. 1e.-
William jennings Bryan, for the first time
since Senator John M. Thurston, as al
legged. declared him in the employ Of mine
owners, made an official denial, coupled
with challenge TO the national Repub-
lican committee to come out In the open
and aoouse him or forever be silent. Mr..
Bryans attention had been called to the
controversy between Senators Thurston
and Stewart, aud he determined to settle
the matter II possible. He therefore de-
mands an open Charge which he says he
will refute with details Of his private life
and his financial affairs or silence He
said;
~ have already denied this charge on
several occasions, but the reiteration Of IL
by Senator Thurston, distinguished res
ident Of my own state justifles me In an
swerlnR IL again. / have never at any time
OF under any circumstances been In the
employ OF any mineowners, Individually
or collectively, directly or indirectly, nor
have ever been In the employ Of or paid
by any bimetallio league association.
Aside from my editorial salary Of about
$3.50 per month paid by tine Omaha World
Herald and small amount derived from
the legal profession, my income since my
retirement from congress has been derived
entirely from lectures before Chautauquas,
lyoeum and lecture bureaus, which have
usually paid me fixed sum, and from con-
trlbutions made by the people Of the local
tiles where / have spoken. In some in
stances have received nothing at all. In
most cases 1 have received moreAthan
enough TO pay travelling expenses. IN only
| two instances, think, has my compensa-
tion exceeded 500, and those Instances II
was about 5000 at once place and about $500
at the other. The first platform on which
ran for congress, In 1890, before was
known politically outside Of my state, oon-
tanned a free coinage plank, and my Repub-
lioan opponent that year was an advocate
Of free coinage.
"In the campaign Of 1899 1 again ran
on a free coinage platform. In 1894
again ran on free coinage platform, and
my opponent for the senate, Mr.. Thurston,
whsle opposing unlimited coinage at 10 to
| 1, insisted that he favored bimetallism.
wrote the free coinage plank on which 1
ran In 1890 and the free coinage planks
In the Nebraska state platform In 1891,
1894 and 1895 and tried to secure the
adoption Of free coinage planks in the state
platform in 1899 and 1898. only men
tion this TO show that my advocacy Of free
silver is not Of recent date. Having made
this answer to Mr.. Thurston' q letter, ] shall
hereafter take no notice of individual OF
newspaper comment on this subject II
the Republican national committee will
say officially that have ever been employ
ed to deliver speeches by any mineown-
or, group Of mineowners or by any as
ISOLATION supported by mineowners, am
ready to make a special showing In detail
of all money received by me for speech
making"

Ushers Selected.
NEW YoRK, Aug. i9.-The bridesmaids
selected by Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt,
who Is 20 be married to Henry Payne
Whitney at Newport next Tuesday, are,
with one exception, great helresses. The
prospective fortunes represent many mil
lions. It is expected Miss Gladys Wander
bIlt, the younger sister Of the bride, will
attend her as a flower maiden. She Is
pretty girl, in her fourteenth year. She Is
heirsss to at least s5, OOO,O and will
probably have double that amount.
Miss Emily Vanderbilt Sloane and Mlas
Lila Sloane are first cousins OF the bride.
They are the daughters Of Mr. and Mrs
William Douglas Sloane, the latter sister
Of Mr.. Cornelius Vandsfbilt. The Misses
Sloane are extremely public spirited. Miss
Emily Vanderbilt Sloane Is the president
Of the A. d. c., or Antlbasement circle, a
charitable organization. Her sister like
wise contributes work and money to the

said TO have increased enormously. Il will
be divided between the 1--WE children some
day, as viii the woalthDf the head Of the
family. Il is quite safe. 10 put the Misses
Sloane down as heiresses each TO tS, 600, =
900.
Miss Amy Bend, who has been the guest
for some time of the Sloanes at Elm Court,
will be bridesmaid. Miss Bend is not an
heiress In the largest sense Of the term.
She Is one Of two children Of Mr.. and Mrs.
George H. Bend. Miss Bend Is favorite
niece Of rloh bachelor, Isaac Townsend,
and an elderly epinster sister Of his, Miss
Amy Townsend.
They Have Fabulous Prospects.
The impression is that there are no
greater heiresses In America than the
Misses Gerry. Their parents, Mr.. and Mrs
Elbridge I. Gerry, are said to be the SEQ
ond greatest real estate owners In this
city. Miss Angelica Gerry will no doubt
have fortune Of SIS, 900, 900. She will be
bridesmaid for the frat time ut the Whit

Mics Minnie Taylor Is included In Miss
Vanderbilt's list. Miss Taylor Is likely TO
come In for 81, O0O,o 600.

maid, is one Of the BRIDES pretty cousins
and will herself be married In November
TO Ernesto q. FabFi. Miss Shspard's for
tune will equal that Of her cousins, the
Misses Sloane, her mother, Mrs. Elliott f..
Shepard, being a sister Of Mr.. Cornelius
Vanderbilt
Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt's six brides
maids will be beautifully srrayed at the
wedding. Their costumes have all been
made abroad and have just come over with
that Of the bride.
There will be but few absentees among
the Vanderbilt relatives at this wedding
These will, however, include MIR. and Mrs.
Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., and Mr.. and
Mrs. James A. Burden, Jr., who are now
abroad.

Free Silver Paradoxes,

In his speech at Pittsburg, Mr.
Bryan said "The free and unlimited
coinage of silver means this-that
If you owe debt you can go out in
TO the market and buy silver and
have it coined and use that silver to
pay your debt as you can now do
with gold" The value of this pri-
vilege to wage -earners. whose only
debts are apt to be to the landlord
or the grocer, was not explained.
But In the same short speech Mr..
Bryan met the objection that it
would not be fair to permit the own
eI of so cents worth of silver to
take it to the mint and have it
stamped as 81 and make the differ
ence. His answer to this was that
under free coinage an ounce of sill
yer would be worth $1.29, and he
asked: "Who is going to sell silver
for less than he can get for it
coined?" Whereat there was "great
applause.
But if nobody will sell silver for
less than it's coinage value, how is
the man who "owes a debt" to go
out into the market and buy silver
and have it coined and use it to pay
his debt"-saving as the Populist
debt-scalers hope, and as the first
part of Mr.. Bryan's argument
seemed TO imply, AZ per cent of his
Indebtedness?
The paradoxes of protection are
sufficiently striking, but is any of
them more self-destructive, than is
this end-on collision of the free sill
yer argument?-New York World

1--WE don't want any So cent dol
lars in this town -
The voice that thus greeted the
Bryan procession as it made it way
through Huntingdon, Pa. gave ut
teranoe to an undying truth.
The sentiment was true in Hunt
ingdOn and it is true in New York.
We don't want any SO cent dollars
in this town to pay to our police
men, our firemen, our street clean
ers, our laborers on the public works
of the city, our wage earners of all
kinds and conditions.
The sort of dollar that the city of
New York wants for its working
men is the 100 cent dollar.
William jennings Bryan and his
supporters, on the other hand, pro-
pose to pay Wase es in a oheapened
dollar, a dollar with AZ cents of its
value clipped off.
"Of all the people interested In
silver" +" says Bland, of Missouri,
"the agricultural people and the
laboring people are the ones who
have the most at sake. F"
And he should have added that
they are the ones who viii suffer
most if free silver shall prevail.
'We don't want any So cent dol
lars in this town" Is an excellent
election motto for every New York
man who does not want to see his
earnings diminished by the success
of the Free Silverites.
