TO SUPPORT BRYAN
HILL. VIRTUALLY STATES
HIS POSITION.
Ir. Bryan. While in Albany, Will DC
Entertained at Luncheon by Sen
ntor Hin, Which Is Regarded as
Indicating That the New York
senator VIII support the Demo
cratic Nominee.

Upper Red Hook. y. Y. Aug. 25.-
The fact that William j. BRYAN will
lunch with Senator Hill. the leader of
the party organization III this state,
became known to-day to the little
party of politicians inhabiting the
Red Hook hotel and inspired more
ah'icipatory discussion among them
than any other incident of the candi-
dates Eastern trip.
Every one assumes that Senator Hill
has resolved to support the nominee
OF the party. else. they argue he
would hardly invite him to sit at his
table. And the lunch is taken as n
practical announcement of Hills de-
termination, which is expected to be
followed by more formal declara-
ton of the senator's attitude. When
Mr.. Bryan arrives i'll Albany he will
have two hours for refreshment be-
fore the speech which he is billed to
make. He will spend two hours, ac-
cording to the programme Which has
been arranged for him, at Wolfert's
Roost. the handsome residence which
Senator Hill bought of Fritz Emmett,
the actor.
This visit having been arranged
that the Democratic candidate and
,ne senator may come to an under
standing, if they have not already
done so. will mark distinct epoch in
the campaign.
The fact of the invitation from SEN
ator HILL which message comes, it is
understood, through Chairman Hnk-
ley, of the state committee, is talGen
by the politicians here as an answer
to the question which has stirred the
state since the day of the Chicago
convention, whether Senator Hill will
support the ticket.
Albany. n. V. Aug. 25.-Former Sem
ator Norton Chase, chairman of the
Democratic city committee. was asked
whether lie knew anything about the
story that Mr.. Bryan was to be en-
tertained by Senator Hill at Wolfert's
Roost While in Albany. Mir. Chase
said: Yes. AS a matter of personal
courtesy to the distinguished visitor
to Albany, Senator Hill. through the
committee. has invited Nh Bryan and
his wife and Il few personal friends
to dine with him at Wolfert's Roost
and Nh Bryan has accepted the invi-
tation."

LEGAL H.t,os Cannot FIX Values.

While the advocates of free coinage
are loudly asserting the power OF the
government to raise the bullion value
of silver from thirty to one to sixteen to
one of gold they at the same time pub
lish facts which prove the very reverse
of their claim. Thus they boast that Tor
the 20 years previous to 1873, the year
of the alleged crime, the value OF silver
bullion ranged from three to seven
cents per ounce above it's coinage value
in other words, the silver in dollar
coin was worth three or four cents more
than a dollar. Now the preachers OF
prosperity through legislation say that
il is the law that fixes the. value OF the
money metals, and that If the United
States alone opened its mints for the
free coinage of silver at sixteen 10 one
the commercial value of gold would be
exactly 16 times that of silver. That
their assertion is not true, and that the
bullion value of either metal cannot be
fixed by law, is clearly shown by the
facts given above in regard to the com
plete failure of previous free-coinag'
laws to keep the real value OF silver at
ratio of sixteen to one of gold.

Increased. Meanwhile the cat crop
had only grown in the usual ratio' ana
me result was that, with the demand
for sacred animals in the new colonies,
at least 80 onions would be given 1or
one cat. This brought the papyrus
currency into disfavor, and the ruling
pharaoh, Ram Bunkshus Ill, issued a
royal order that cats, should be the
sole standard of value, and that onions
should be issued only to the extent that
they could be kept at par with the

manded that the unjust law enacted

ratio of sixteen to one was adopted.
that was the true ratio of the cat and
onions. Now, owing to great IN
crease in the quantity of onions. the
ratio is thirty to one. All powerful as
