CHANCE FOR SPECULATION.
If the Bryanites Are Right Every
body Can Get Rich by Selling
EVERYTHING,

Why should any of Bryan's followers
risk any capital on a grain deal? Why
stake their money on January pork,
March lard or May wheat? There is lit
tie sense in embarking i'll any of these old
fashioned speculations. which frequently
fail to pan out, sometimes bankrupt the
ODprator, and, at best, yield meagpr
profit. Why should any POpOcrat risk Il
dollar in any of those extra hazardous and
poorly paying ventures if he is sure and
certain that, in a few brief months, Bry-
an and free coinage at 1G to l will be
here. and that the bit of silver that is
now worth 80 cents will then be worth
81. thus making in a short time profit
of about 80 per cent. for the lucky owner
of silver bullion?
Sell your farms your stores, your shops
and tools, your horses, cattle. sheep and
hogs: sell anything that will bring in
money and invest the proceeds in silver
bullion at say 66 cents per ounce. Get
this silver now. Secure it before the
rush begins. If you wait until everybody
is buying silver, you may have to pay
| 4 higher price. Send an order accOmpa-
| MED by a proper deposit to the Selby
| smelter. or to Sutro & Co. of San Fran
! cisco. and they will take pleasure in fill
| ing your order, even though it be for
| millions.
| The scramble for silver should begin
at once. Unless Stewart. Teller, Alt
| geld. Fair. Hearst and other INDECENT
| Popocrats who have felt the crown of
| thorns pressing their pcrspiring brOWS
and who have been literally cructied
upon a cross of gold do not soon begin
the purchase and holding of silver bull
lion. so as to be ready when the POpO-
cratic millennium comes to reap their
share of the profits unless this move
ment. this mad rush for silver bullion
| begins soon, some irreverent Republican
| or some wicked follower of the gOldbug
indianapolis ticket is liable to say:
MY Popocratic friends. your failure
| to buy silver proves either:
| ''First-That you have serious doubts
| of Bryan's election; or,
| "Second-That you fear he may, if
| elected, prove recreant to his trust, and
! not give you free silver at all; or,
| "Third-That you are burdened with
| fear that. if free coinage is secured, the
! big dollar may after all be worth but 80
| cents in good money; or.
| "Fourth-That you all have misgivings
| that these 50-cent dollars may drag our
| greenbacks, national bank notes, silver
| and coin certificates down to the same
| low level.'
In other words, unless you buy silver,
and buy it at once, it is a tacit acknowl-
edgment on your part that you really
believe the Republican position to be the
correct one. If you really feel certain
(as you profess to do that we are to
have Bryan and free coinage at IS to l;
that silver dollars thus coined will be
equal in value TO the gold dollar; and
that all the three or four billions of sill
yer in the world will be almost doubled
in value: if you really believe these
things you and your party would be
securing the world to buy silver. The
Mexican. CHILEAN, Japanese and Chi
nese silver coins. coming as they do
from already
coinage, would no longer go begging for
Il buyer at 80 cents on the dollar as they
now do. Your capitalists would try to
corner all the silver on earth. and next
year they would make the Rothschilds
and the Ii Hung Changs turn green
with envy by parading their three thou
sand million dollars profit made by hav-
ing faith in your preaching.
Go into the market and prove your
sincerity by your works! In other
words, "Put up or shut up!'-Toledd
Blade.
