Powderly was invited to make the speech by some gold bug not in the regular organization and now the committee in charge of the meeting is making a big row over the affair. From this it would seem that Powderly was an unwel- come guest even among the gold bugs.

The free and unlimited coinage of silver would close every mine in New Mexico. This country can not compete with Mexico in silver mining. The Leadville miners re- fuse to work for 2.50$ per day in gold. In Mexico miners get 50 cents per day in Mexican money.

Under the gold standard OF prices the
cotton raisers OF Alabama have been re-
duced to such extremes that the tax pay
ers OF that state are unable to pay GER
tam school expenses. The republican
gold standard papers, like the Min
neapolis Journal, are making great
deal Of noise about the Inability OF Gov
ernor Oates OF Alabama to borrow the
insignificant sum of $3.50, 900 because the

Need a Double Team.

Gov. Allgeld gives good illustration
OF the reason for the crippled business Of
the country, as follows:
LET me remind you the civilization OF
the world has grown up under the blme-
tallic standard ard since the adoption OF
the single gold standard the wheels of
progress have stopped. That man does
not live who can point to single great
achievement for mankind that has been
accom- plished since silver was demone-
tized.'
"The world formerly had two horses
hltched to its business wagon in order
to draw it up the hill OF progress. They
were known as silver and gold. Then
came along Condition which took one
horse out OF the team and the single
horse became stalled. The silver men
wish to make no experiment, but want
to restore the other horse to the team
and drive double once more"

WORK CAN Be HAD
If Bryan is Elected and q Silver
Congress Chosen.

Opening tho silver mines Of Mon
tsna and the other mountain statss will
cot 100000 men OF work within . few
weeks. All thsse men and their families
would have to b fed on products lm-
ported from North Dakota and other
agricultural states. They would need
our 6our, our butter, our sggs, our
poultry, and could afford to pay the
highest prices for them. These products
would hsve to b carried to Montana BY
the railroads, and the products Of tho
mines would have to brought east. THIS
would at once result in doubling the
present traffic and make times good
again on tho roads. The setting Of this
large number Of idle men to work,
would stiden the labor market BY r.
moving the surplus now unemployed,
and better the condition Of tho lsborinR
men oil over tho county. When the
farmers Of North Dakota sne other
states have . good market for their
produce right at their doors, they will
have some money to spend and this will
make business good for tho merchants.
Opening tho mines will mean the pay
ment Of $4,00O,O00 week in wages more
than now in the mining states, and will
% natural result mean the opening Of
the factories to supply clothing, ma
chinery, eto.
For the past three yssrs the mines
have beeD closed, and times have been
poor in consequence. Bryan is ready to
open them at once, but Mckinley Gays
no, We must wait until England gives
her consent. A vote for Mckinley is .
vote to keep the mines closed and to
keep 100000 idle men without work, as
q constant menace to the labor market.
Will you do az Hanna wants, and
vote to keep the silver mines closed?

SHORT CROP OF MONEY
kaises the Value of q Dollar
Injustice the Result.

W. j. Bryan spent last Sunday
in the elm-shaded city of Jack
sonville, III. There he graduated,
at Illinois college, under the in
struction of DR.. Stutevant, one of
the ablest educators and grandest
men of the nation.
DR.. Stutevant was the author of
text book. on Economics; or the
Science of Wealth." One of the
principles laid down in that work,
which Mr.. Bryan quoted in an ad-
dress in the chapel of the college,
was that when a man made con-
tract he ought to be paid in the
same way, with the same quantity
or value that it had when the con-
tract was made.
DR.. Sturtevant's work declared
it a wrong and injustice to compel
a man to deliver 100 bushels of
wheat for debt when wheat had
doubled in value. Mr.. Bryan
stated the issue before the people
in this great campaign. He said:
"There are some people who
talk about honest dollars, without
exactly defining what they mean
by that, SO that you have to take
their conclusions instead of your
own conclusions. We believe that
gold and silver used together gives
a more stable dollar, more equit-
able currency, more just standard
than could be obtained from the
use of one with the other elimin-
ated from use; and the very argu-
ment DR.. Sturtevant makes there,
that a short crop of wheat will
make wheat rise in value, applies
to money; because, if there is a
short crop of money, money rises
in value. d.
"Now, the short crops are de-
termined usually by the weather
and by various things which man
may not control, but the volume
of money is determined by law,
which man does not control. And
SO if you by law make your crop
of money short you raise the value
of the dollar; and if you raise the
value of the dollar you produce
the same injustice to the man who
owes dollar that Mr.. Sturtevant
calls attention to in case Of wheat
that doubles in value.
