Ing IN MI silver cOlnH previously Is

OF the German empire. In 1872 Nor.
way, Sweden and Denmark entered Into
n monetary treaty FOR the practical de-
moiictIE7tion NJ silver, whlSh was
subsequently, ratified by Sweden and
Denmark In 1878 and by Norway In
lS16. Holland followed the example OF
Germany In 1916, although she bad been
on n silver buSlB since 1897, Russia
suspended tho coinage OF silver in 1876,
except M to such I'M amount as might
nc required for tradc purposes with
China. Tho free coinage Of silver was
also suspended In Auatrla- hungary
about the same time, although thu sill.
vcr standard legally prevailed In those
countries until lSB2, when the gold
standard was officially adopted. We
were not oionc then IN the suspension
OF silver coinage.
1t IL unqucstiOnnbly true that the act
OF 1919 did suspend the free coinage Of
the full legal silver dollar OF il2iL
grains, Hut such suspension was not
decentralization. To claim the contrary
Is to be guilty Of nrrant nonsense ny
wei as gross misrepresentation. The
depreciation In silver w1E the result OF
Il combination " circumstances, The
first and principal aus was the phc-
nOmcnal Increase In the production OF
silver In the United States and else
where. While It Is true that the act OF
lS3 suspended the coinage Of the 4l2is
silver dollar. 1t In also true that the
provisions Of that act LETT the minis
open for the coinage OF the silver dollar
OF 40 grains. which was legal tender
for all ordinary trade purposes. This
fact summarily dlspOseS Of the charge
OF decentralization.
1t must not be forgotten that at that
limo We were on II paper basis. and
that consequently the price OF silver,
could not have been materially affected
by the act OF 1873. Then II must be RI.
membcrcd that from 1873 10 1873 our
silver coinage amounted to $50, i7i.4CO.
That does not look as II any conspiracy

Replying to our Kentucky CORES
pondGnt, which we are glad to do, the
highest estimate made by anybody of
the number OF slgnrr 20 The Bryan Free
Silver Populistic, sO-CallGd Democratic
club Is 25i. The Repository reporter
was not able to estimate the number so
high. and put it It $50. Even II the
number was 80, or COO, 1t would not be
strange or remarkable, considering that
the pOulatiOn or Canton Is 10000, and
Stark county nearly 1901 OO. One thing
conspicuous about the silver meeting
Which has been so widely paraded, was
the absence OF any Of the old Democratic
leaders. either OF the county OF city. Our
friends In Kentucky need not be alarm
ed. The entire Republican party OF
Canton, Mcklnlcy's home, Is for sound
money, and TO this must be added thou
sands OF patriotic Democrats who will
not follow the vaEarics OF either the Chi

signed the free silver club was not rs
large as the army which General" Cox

TO the country now, Bryan's expression
at the Chicago convention might read;

SILVER PURCHASED.

Il Is, therefore, clear that the act OF
1913 did not demonetizc silver. Under
the acts of 1873 and 1890 we coined as
many silver dollars every four monshs
as We're coined In eighty years before
1913. Two facts are thus establishes:
First. that the so-callcd silver lcgisla-
ton Of 1873, and of subsequent years,
did not decrease the purchase and coin
age o fsllver by the government. and.
second. that no amount OF legislation
can force money into circulation arbi-
trarily' no matter how great may be its
volume.

one Of them. Heinrich Geuderech. is
years old, a steward, was drowned. The
ether two swan around the tug and were
rescued by the crew.
Geuderlech, the rescued men say, was
a good swimmer, and they annot account
for his sinking so quickly unless he was
struck by the tug and seriously hurt
The men hired the boat about half-past
seven O'clock from the bpathouse at the
foot of Fourth street., and t0okaa spin up
the river They were on their way home
and had turned in towards the shore
when a ferryboat of the Barclay street
lire of the Hoboken ferry came in sight.
At the same time the Elmira steamed UP
behind the ferryboat Geuderlech, who was
steering. succeeded in eluding the ferry
beat, but lost his head completely when
he saw the tug and never as much as
made ar effort to get out Of Its way.
