on one pan commodit tiles, all things which
are exchanged, are weighed; the more
we put nponSit the more. it sinks, and
the more prices fall. Upon the other
pan are; heaped the gold and silver
which the mines have produced since the
beginning Of the world. In the course Of
time an equilibrium was established. Il
was marked by little tongue indicating
the average value:
In 1873 the original idea was started
of going to the pan which contained the
metal, and, what has never happened
before, the silver was taken away on the
ground that it was not wanted. 1mme-
diately the pan was ightened by hall
of its load and it rose, but on the other
side the pan which contained all the
commodities fell. The result was normal
elementary, and it was foreseen thai
prices ought to fall.
"Well, gentlemen, to re-establish the
equilibrium there are only two means
either to place silver on the monetary
pan from which 1t was taken in 1873, OF
tighten the commodity pan to balance
it with the proportion and quantity OF
money on the other pan; that is to say
diminish commerce, injure agriculture
restrict industry in proportion to the
metal you took away in 1873, or else re-
establish silver in it's former functions
That is the simple remedy which bimet-
allists demand Their opponents prefer
the fall in prices and its disastrous con-
sequences. To render money more scarce
or more abundant is to make all prices
rise or fall An increase of money, as
in 1850, corresponds to the growth the
progress, the life of society; monetary
contraction will. always lead to an an
aemia. sickness, and crisis. If your d.
minish the quantity Of blood in the hui
man body, will it not bring about an
aemia? Diminish the amount of money
in, the social body and that discrimlna'
ton will bring about crisis.
peoples, like individuals, enjoy dan
gers: when they are lacking they create
them. That is what they did in 1873
They demonetized silver and the danger
was born: Gold became, rare, as was
natural, as was certain, and as had been
predicted. We have white grapes and
red grapes for making wine. 1t we dis
carded the white would not the red
grapes certainly rise in value? We eat
beef and mutton Can it be admitted
that If beef were prohibited the price OF
mutton would not rise? It was for the
same reason that glod appreciated; that
it bought more and more and commodl-
ties and prices fell in CONSCIENCE"

Mckinley has begun to talk finance. to

listeners credit for knowing anything about
the matter, he talks to them in the kinder

the government got it's money and how it
spent it. or rather how it Is supposed 30
spend it. In this baby talk on finance the
major said one Of the sources Of revenue
to the government was the postal service.
When he was telling his story he did noa
stop to think that it costs the soyernment
vast sums Of money to support the postal
service, instead Of 1t deriving any income
from It. But Mckinley is not going to be

Some Republicans or gold standard
men are asking what Bryan has done
that he should be elected president. He
has done much more than Mckinley has
done. And, besides, he has not robbed
the people by tariff swindle nor is the
nation threatened by his election to be
continually held by the throat for. the
satisfaction of the greed Of trusts, and
combines and syndicates of every de-
scription. While In congress he did more
than the share Of q new member, or even
Of an old one, in the discussion Of the tar

assisted magnifcemtly in opening the eyes
Of the nation to the wrongs and iniqui-

word is sent to him by the
drummer that such and such
a class is coming and for him to prepare
his speech accordingly. So that the major
is always taken BY surprise, Of course,
when the excursion drops down upon him,
when the fact is he knew all about its
coming some time before. Those gems
Of oratory" are all ready and the speech
is looked upon as an extempore one, Of

and is out in all kinds Of weather, and yet
he delivers several speeches during each
