st. Louis Sightseeing Visitors.

ST. LOUIS, June SIT is estimat-
ed that from 100000 to 10000
people visited the tornado swept
district of st. Louis and East st.
Louis yesterday. In addition to
the regular incoming trains that
were crowded, forty-three special
trains were run from cities within
a radius of three or four hundred
miles Of st. Louis and it is thought
they easily carried at least 1000
sightseers. Many came from near
by towns in vehicles of their own.
The day was fine and the crowd
had good opportunity to see the
destruction wrought by the storm,
although much of the debris had
been cleared up and rebuilding is
progressing rapidly.

Bryan has said that men are to be

that he or his followers canno blame

While he consorts with men who preach
the doctrines of revolution and anarchy
he must be prepared to be judged by
such company.

THE LAST GREAT CRIME.

And now the charge is made in all
seriousness by the Bryan organ that
Il conspiracy has been set on foot to
| suppress Bryan in the public press.
This is decidedly cool even for the first
week in September. AS if the Assoc
ciated press and all the republican
papers have not been giving slathers
and acres of space TO Bryan's vapOrings.
AS if they have not been nauSeating
goings, with his breakfasts, dinners and
| suppers, with his snipe hunts, with his
interviews, pronunciamentoes and dis
Chalmers. The bulk of his speeches have
been mere repetition. Why, then, should
his effusions be given preference over
news that does concern and interest the
mass of newspaper readers? 1t has
been II matter of surprise and adverse
comment on the part of many people
who pay for newspapers because they
want the news that they have been fed
on nothing but Bryan gush and silver
slush day in and day cut.
This talk of suppressing Bryan is like
'ii' S'''A' '''N ~ ~
the popular will and choke off Il full
and free discussion of the living issues
of the day. 1t is very much like the
assertion by the local Bryan organ that
the men who oppose 10 TO | free coinage
do not dare to meet the advocates Of
that financial nostrum in open debate
The proof of the pudding is in the eat
ing. Hasn't Bryan been met? And
hasn't Harvey been met? And haven't
other disciples been met in public de-
bate? Who has suppressed the publica-
ton of these debates? Surely not the
sound money men. Why do net the
free silver champions circulate the
Bryan and Harvey debates which they
pretend have made so many silver
converts? Is it not n fact that no
one can get Il copy of any of these de
bates with the discussion in full of
both sides except on application to the
sound money people?

26D
Mr.. Bryan was then preaching the silver
doctrine Of the two-dollar dollar that should
have its purchasing power reduced, a doc
trine which he kept in the background at
Madison Square Garden, where he promised
that with free coinage the 53-cent silver
dollar would at once COM to have a value
OF 100 cents measured in gold" and would
thus be merely a duplication OF the hated
"appreciating two-dollar OF Wall street and
Lombard street"
But does not every intelligent farmer
know that there has been a great fall dur
ing the last twenty-three years in the prices
Of the things he has to buy, and that the
decline began before 1873?
We are not aware that UP to this time the
press has published any detailed statement

BRYAN AGAINST BRYAN.
Does the Popocrntic Candidate Under
stand Himself.


Chicago Times-IIerald.
Speaking in the house August 16, 1898, Mr..
Bryan said: The ratio of 16 to | overValued
gold and our silver went abroad. TIL silver
dollar was worth about 3 cents more than
the gold dollar. because it could be coined
IN France at the ratio of 151A to 1. Thus
during all the period prior to 1873 this coun-
try enjoyed bimetallism, and, although at
one time we used one metal and at another
time another, no statesman arose to demand
a single Standard
1t is a popularity of Mr.. Bryan's mind not
to realize the Significance of his own words.
He has stated in the quoted sentence Gresh-
ANS law and he has offered in evidence con-
yincing illustration of it. Gresham's law
is that whenever at the mint of a country
both gold and silver are coined free and in
quantities and one metal enjoys
an advantage over the other in the differ
enCe between the coinage ratio and the COM
mercial ratio, the overvalued metal will re-
main in the country and the undervalued
will seek a more favorable market else
where. Yet in the same sentence Mr.. Bryan
says this was bimetallism while declaring
that we had at one time only one of the two
metals. AT one time we used one metal
and at another time another" He means
the other"
That is to say, when silver had the ad-
vantage of gold in the mint ratio gold dis
appeared and when gold had the advantage
silver disappeared. In other words, as Mr..
Bryan shows, there has been no era in the
United States since the foundation of the
government during the period of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver when we
had both gold and silver in the country.
Does Mr.. Bryan understand himself?
We have both gold and silver now, be-
cause the coinage of silver is limited. There
Is no bimetallism possible on any other con-
litiOn.
