standing for rotten money. More than
half our crowd are on that side. The
talk about Republican detection to
Bryan in East Tennessee is rot. 1t is
given out that Walter P. Brownlow,
Republican candidate for Congress in
the First District, is free silver man.
What of that? Is he going to vote for
Bryan and Sewall-Watson? Are any of
his supporters, from Col. X. R. Butler
to Sambo and Quimbo and Gumbo, 60
ing to vote for any body but Nc Kinley?
Not any, jedge, not any. The whole of
the talk. along this line, is pure nom
sense. The Republicans, in the August
poll, held their own in East Tennessee,
everybody, except that Judge Barton
received local complimentary votes.
The Republicans IL November viii
count out the biggest vote they ever
did, since the adoption of the Dortch
law. The Bryan faction will be away
short Of polling the full Democratic
strength. If the National Democracy
shall send few effective takers into
East Tennessee and do some organizing
work there they will poll vote, from
Marion to johnson, that will astonish
the natives. Stick pin in these predic-
tions.

Democratic State Ticket Buried From Sight in
the Vermont Elections.
White River Junction, VT, Sept. H.
The Green Mountain State declared for
Josiah Grout( Republican,, Of Derby for
Governor today and for the Republican
State ticket entire, by majority that
equalled the prediction Of the most con-
fdent Republican managers. Returns
from the distant towns are, as usual,
rather slow in coming in, but the count
In all sections Of the State shows sub.
stantial Republican gains, and indi-
Gates that the majority of the Republi-
can State ticket will be 10000. This is
the largest majority ever given for
Governor in this State, the nearest ap-
proach to it being in 1888, when the
majority was 27,61S.
The Republican leaders tonight claim
that the majority may reach $4,000 and
even $1,000.
H. Henry Powers, the Republican
Congressional candidate, and William
Grout in the Second, are both re-electe
by increased majorities, and the State
Senate and house are in the control of
the Republicans by practically the
same majority as two years ago.
The weather generally was cool and
fair throughout the State, and brought
out hundreds of Republican voters W no
have not been to the polls for years.
Practically the full Republican vote
was cast. On the other hand, the lack
OF organization in the Democratic ranks
was very apparent. Many Democrats
who do not indorse the platform OF the
Chicago convention remained away
from the polls, while the more dissatis.
fed ones voted the Republican ticket.
The Populist and Prohibition vote
was practically the same as two years
ago.
Chairman Merritt, Of the Republican
State committee, has issued final bul.
letin for 2S0 out of 245 towns giving a
Republican majority of 1884.
The remaining towns in 1894 gave q
Republican majority of /, ,181. and, with
this majority added, Mr. Merritt figures
majority of $4,000 for the head OF the
ticket.

Laughter.
So it is, my friends. We can of our.
selves, of our own wisdom, declare the
unit of value. We can coin silver
freely, but we can not make sixteen
ounces of silver equal to one ounce of
gold unless it is. Applause. And it
is not unless the merchants take it at
that rate.
They might just as we'll pass law
that 30 cents is a dollar. That would
not make it so, would it? But 1t would
not bny dollars worth of anything.

can mark up the prices on his goods,
but the worklngman and the pensioner
can not protect himself in that way.
The man who owes debt that he con.
tracted upon gold basis and is able
to pay it with so cent dollar, he and
the mine owner who gets an exagger-
ated price for the products of his mine
are the only people or class of people
that can see would have any benefit
out of this system. That is not even a
Democratic doctrine. 1t has an idea
that this Government of ours. shall pay
not only it's debt, but they pay interest
on its bonds and circulating notes in a
debased currency. applause.

high premium. There could be no
opportunity for several months for pas
sing a free coinage bill. Every one
who owed money and could do 80, and
was dishonest enough, would pay his
debts in cheap dollars before any free
coinage act had had an opportunity to
supply the increased demand for silver.
The crisis in which would be felt the
greatest need for more silver currency
would have been passed long before
the enactment of any free coinage act.
For these reasons unlimited free coin

Faulty Free Silver Logic.

The free silver advocates who can
see in lower prices only the blighting
influences Of gold standard have
closed their eyes to all the forces that
really enter into price making-the
elements that have been described as
practically all the economic, political,
social and ethical forces of the age."

THE DEPRECATED DOLLAR.

Only the Purchasing Power
of Silver Bullion?

Only the Purchasing Power
of Silver Bullion?
For the Sound Currency Committee of
the reform Club of New York.
At the present price, silver bullion
sells for only half what it brings when
coined into United States silver dollars.
Under free coinage the price of silver
coined or uncoincd must be the same,
because there will then be no obstrc-
ton orlimits as there is now, to prevent
the flow of silver into either form. The
question then is, will free coinage
materially raise the price of silver bull
lion?" 1t can be so only by creating
far greater demand for silver than ex.
lists at present, or than was created by
the Sherman pigsilver purchase act.
Will it do it? -
Before the passage of the Sherman
act, we were told by Senator Jones, of
Nevada, and others that the purchase
by the Government of 4,500, 900 ounces
of silver each month would raise the
price Of bullion to 81 20 per ounce.
There was some plausibility in his
prophecy. The price of bullion was
then about 81 per ounce, and the Ger.
tain sale of practically all the United
States product, which was fully one
third of the worlds product, could not
but have great effect upon its price.
In anticipation of the act, the price
rose from 81 2 cents per ounce in Jan.
uary, 1890, to 81 IA on August 13, 1890,
the date the Sherman silver law took
effect. 1t continued to rise just six
days longer, and on August 10, sold at
81 81 per ounce. 1t then began to fall,
slowly at first, but very rapidly at the
end of the year, and by October, 1893,
when the act was repealed, silver sold
at 70 cents per ounce. The following
table shows the price of silver bullion
by months for the year 1890, 1901,
1892, 1893:

Col. Peter Turney has called an extra
session of the Legislature to replenish
the supply. Comptroller Harris says
that by the exercise of economy the ex-

have been necessary. But the pigs are
unwilling to economize. They are used
to having all they want, and if the

something must be done. No matter

The silverites were mistaken. Aside
from the speculation which it induced
and which affected prices for about one
year, the act had little or no effect
upon prices. 1t did, however, enable
the silver mine owners to unload upon
the Government 68,674, ,6S2 ounces of
silver at an average price of over 90
cents per ounce. At present prices the
mine owners buncoed our Government
out of $50, 100000
These same silver prophets told us
some other things that were not so.
They declared that no silver would be
produced at less than 10 cents per ounce
and yet the production has increased
greatly since the price fell below 10
cents. Such being the fact we should
not place too much confidence in the
statements of these men who are at.
tempting another bunco game.
A free coinage act will not affect the
demand for silver nearly as much as
did the Sherman act. 1t will not mar.
ket any silver and store it as did the
Sherman act. 1t will simply permit
the people to have as much silver coin.
ed as they may wish to use. Were it
not that free coinage would surely
drive gold out of circulation it would
not at all increase our demand for sill
YER, and even the amount used to re-
place the gold would be in the form Of
silver certificates and not of coined dol
lars. We now have in the pockets of
people all they will carry round for use
as we'll as small change. In this re-
spect we have reached the staturation
point. We now have over $3.50, 100000
Of silver stored up and represented in
circulation by certificates and notes.
Gold has already been driven nearly
out of circulation by the fear of free
coinage. Most of what is now in this
country would probably stay here, tho
1T would go further into seclusion. The
part that would be displaced and
driven out of the country by free coin.
age would displace silver in other coun
tries and permit it to come here to take
the place of the displaced gold. Under
free coinage the only thing that silver
dollars will do easier than gold onel
will be to pay the past debts. AS thes,
amount on an average to less than
per cent. of the total transactions oil

gold and continue to do business OF
that basis. There is no doubt that tn,
commercial world prefers gold. If /
preferred silver it would now be max

On the whole, there is no reason fo
supposing that free coinage will mucl
increase the demand for, or the price o
silver. Nor are therein today's marke

yer bullion owners expect such in
