Rumors at political headquarters in
New York and Washington, says the
Minneapolis Tribune, is to the effect
that the silver mine owners, who are
mostly boiling republicans, are declin'
ing to respond to the frantic appeals oi
the Bryan campaign committee for
funds. They are immensely disappoint'
ed in the effect of Bryan's Eastern tour,
and have about reached the conclusion
that their money can be more effectively
used in making combinations in the
congressional districts and bold push
for two-thirds free silver majority in
the house. With such majority in the
house they believe that a two thirds
majority could also be commanded in
the senate. Some ofthem even profess to
believe that Major Mckinley is at heart
not unfriendly to free silver coinage,
and that he would not hesitate to sign
free coinage measure if it were passed
by a decisive majority. Bryan they
haYe no confidence in at all. He has
shown himself so shifty and eyasive, Sc
self.contradictory, SO weak in the pre-
sentation of the great issue on which
the mine owners haye staked their
whole political and business future, that
they already despair of his election.
They recognize the fact. also, that Nc
Kinley is daily growing upon the peo-
pie. The admirable speeches which he
makes almost daily to visitors are
models of compact, clear and forcible
statements, and they demonstrate his
observation-disclosures in striking manner.
There is no danger of Mckinley max
ing any "bad breaks" while Bryan is
always saying something to weaken his
position and demoralize his supporters.
1t seems impossible that a man so given
to CAB and shallow rhetoric as Bryan
will not say something to ruin his cause
before the campaign is over. The only
way to avoid the danger is for the com
mittee to muzzle him, and that would
be a confession of weakness. Bryan
himself is apprehensive that the silver
party will abandon him and leave him
nothing but the support of a divided
democracy and the rent and torn pop
ulistic organization-a combination de-
void of money, brains and leadership
A special from New York says: "Close
friends of Senator John p. Jones have
within the last "a hours confessed that
in their opinion the jig was up with
Bryan, and in this they gave expression
to the views of the strong men in the
background

1t was not until the other day that
Bryan admitted the fact that the mar
ket price of any given product was
governed by the law of supply and
demand. In his previous speeches he
has invariably attributed falling prices
to the decentralization of silver, as
against the more reasonable theory that
the real cause of present low prices is
due to an reproduction, which has
largely exceeded n notable under-con-
sumption of commodities, resulting from
restricted opportunity to earn the mon.
ey to buy with. In a recent speech at
Mandalin, n. V, he said: "You know
that if the worlds crop next year of a
certain article is very much greater than
the crop of this year, that article will
fall in price. If the crop is much smaller
than this year, that article will rise in
price. You know that the law of sup
ply and demand reaches and controls
all sorts Of property"

Ben Harrison, in his recent speech in
New York, said many things that were
sound, significant and pointed, among
which the following meaty remark is
especially worthy of rote: my friends.
as republican am proud of many
things, but can sum up as the highest
satisfaction I have had in the party and
its carrier that the prospect of republi-
can success never did disturb business"

will be as hard to get.

Honesty, like patriotism, can neither
be bounded by state nor sectional lines.
Financial dishonor is the threatened
danger now, and good men will obliter-

advancing years and infirmities than a
precious legacy for family and friends.

WHICH has recently come to close,

Of farmers, and individuals of other voca-
tions who are skeptical as to the merits
Of well bred pigs: To them hog Is 8
hog, and that is all there is about it; and
who will doubt it literallyf They argue
that with plenty Of corn one hog, regard
less of stock, will make fully as much,
again and as good pork as the other. In
majority of cases q careful trial would 60
q long way toward proving the contrary.
We are not dealing In hogs, however |;
but buggies and we contend that a>substi-
tute for the Carolina Buggy can't be pro-
duced on the surface Of the earth at q less
price, and give the same amount of salts

ring its existence as the CAROLINA.
You can buy buggies that weigh as
much, and look nearly, like ours; you
can get buggies at all prices, but the old
CAROLINA is sold at one price and
alike to everybody. It has value and
its quality fixes its price.
The CAROLINA buggy Is not given
away with box Of laundry soap, a pack

is sold to intelligent people who know
what they want and where to buy it.. =

THE CRIME OF '73.

The New York Evening Post tells
what the crime of 1873 was that ''it
was an act revising the coinage laws OF
the United States, and that it omitted
the silver dollar from the list of coins
which could be struck off at the mints
of the United States, at the request or
for the benefit of private persons"
That is about as honest as anything
The Post ever stated on that score.
To fully understand what the crime
was, we have to know the effects. AT
that time the primary money of the
world consisted of about So 600, 600, 900
in gold and about the same amount in
silver this was all there was left in
money form of the two metals, not
withstanding the production of the
mines through all the ages. All the
worlds debts hung upon this amount
of money; all the worlds credit rested
upon this small pyramid of money all
the worlds prices were regulated by
the amount of that money in the re-
spective countries. Our fathers estab.
lished the silver dollar as the unit o
values. What was done in 1873 was
to take away that attribute from the
silver dollar, and to establish the gold
dollar as the unit and as the standard
of values for the United States. Oh
course had that been done by all the
nations of the earth, the instantaneous
effect would have been to strike down
half the money of the world, and will
it the property of the world in the
same ratio. AS only part of th'
nations did that the fall was more
gradual; it took 20 years in our countr.
for prices to reach the normal condition
under that legislation. Asa result, VT
see all forms of property have tallel
so per cent. in 20 years-all form
except debts; debts remain just th'
same, the only difference being tina
the debtor now has to give OF wha
material he buys money with twice a
