THE SILVER NINE OWNER AGAIN.

Some of the sophistries advanced In this cah-
paign in the evident hope Of winning votes for
Bryan from grown-up men are so childish as
to make one wonder nightly where they were
evolved. Here is o-.e:
zone man says the reason why he does not want want
free coinage i that he does @ a no, WIKI w enable the s
yer miner 10 make 50 cents worth OF sver putio ,n
and convert 1t into lV' cents ana "'ahe '"e ''''e'
''Then the next man who comes up viii say that
adds nothing TO the value of the metal. and that the
free coinage of silver simply means that you do1n e9n

and nobody makes any profit 2ut OF IT, ,... a,,or

No. The foregoing are not quotations from
BOYS argument In school debating society,"
They are quotations from the Boy Orators speech
at Madalin which Senator Stewart one or the
wealthest Slver-mne owners in the United
States says mo eoldbug' alive can answer
Senator Stewart himself, however. can answer II,
and has answered 1t. He answered it when he
said, on June II, 1874:
The question will never be settled until you deter
mine the simple question whether the iaporlng man man
is entitled to gold dollar If ne earns it, or whether
you are going TO cheat him with something else.
That is the upshot of the whole thing
Mr. Bryan is young. but he Is fairly bright We
predict that IL the patriarchal Stewart would take
the Boy Orator on his knee for fifteen minutes he
could so explain the workings Of a cheap dollar
that even the Boys intellect would see how the
sver-mine owner. by paying the miner In sill
yer dollar when he had earned a gold one. could
cheat him out of half the wages Of his toll, and by
that process could make fortune for himself
though the value Of silver bullion should not rise
an iota. Mr.. Stewart might also be able to make
1t clear how, under free coinage. an ounce of the
mine-owner's silver would pay 81 20 Of his debts.
while now it will pay only 30 cents Of debt. and
this also without any appreciation in the value OF
silver. any added value, except in debt-pay-
