to Bryan, the West would no doubt take a
new lease of chunks OF enthusiasm and
MAKE very much stronger fight than II
weighted down with discouraging reports
from other quarters.
III Bryan has not passed over the top OF
the MIL, and Is not now going down the
other side at pretty rapid gait every sign
IS tr1ghtfuliy misleading. He continues to
draw crowds, butit is to be observed that no
other speaker on his side is able to enthuse
the people. The people are willing to turn
out and make crowds for Bryan, but they
are not interested enough in his cause to
listen to any of his lieutenants. In fact,
boies, Vest, Bland and the other promi-
nent supporters of Bryan's candidacy are
ominously silent.
In California Gator, Mitchell, White,
together with Newlands of Nevada, con-
tradict Bryan in nearly every one of his
propositions, and the people are begin
ming to wonder it there are as many
phases of the silver question as there are
speakers. Bryan says free coinage would
advance the price of silver per ounce to
81 29, Gator says an American silver dollar
would not 60 in Europe and Newlands
says the Government should own the sill
yer mines so as to prevent too liberal offer
ings at the mints. In fact, nearly every
one OF Bryan's former supporters is COM
ing to the front with better scheme.
Organism has seen its best days and it
Will soon be only a recollection.

THE PEOPLE AND CANDIDATES.

The effort of Sewall to belittle the influ-
ence which the enormous Republican
majority at the Maine State election has
exerted and will continue to exert is
too much like the boy who whistles
when passing graveyard to count
for much. And his assertion that
Organism is spreading rapidly in New
England is so stupidity foolish that
people are likely to conclude that Watson
is the better man of the two Vice -Presl-
dental candidates. The fact is, had Bryan
felt that he was making converts he would
not have left New England so soon. There
would be more glory in carrying one of
those States than any three Western
States would give him, and if there is one
thing that Bryan dotes on it is glory.
Those who participated in the General
Scott campaign in 1852, and in the Greeley
campaign in 1872, will see the same kind
OF elements accumulating to overthrow
Bryan that sent those distinguished men
to their everlasting political graves. Early
in the compaign the people travelled miles
to see Scott and Greeley, and such ovations
men seldom get, but no once could tell
whether the people were moved by curios-
ity or enthusiasm until the campaign had
nearly spent itself. As the campaign
neared its close the people acted just as
people do after the circus is over They
are really glad the show is over. and their
only recollection of the performers is as
sociated with the funny things they said
and did. None of them care a snap for
the showmen as people.
Bryan is affording the people rather
more amusement than Scott and Greeley
did; besides, with our improved urban
and suburban car service it is easier to
collect crowd of 10000 people now than
it was to get 1000 together when Scott ran,
or. 5000 when Greeley was on the stump.
Crowds these days indicate nothing in
particular. It is the sober thinking of the
people that decides National elections
these days. The people read more and
judge for themselves more than at any
former period il the country's history.
Not only so, but they are more conserva-
tive than they used to be, and it is hard to
induce them TO depart from old and tried
paths. Organism is too new and too much
of an experiment for the people to indorse,
but they Will hear what he has to say.

The "deadly parallel" has been INDUCED in

have changed their views on the silver ques-
tion within year or two. This was done IN
apparent forgetfulness that the same weapon
could be used against itself. THE CALL, how.
ever, was not so forgetful. and in yesterdays
issue reproduees from the Examiner of June
q, 1895, an article of some length, in which

THE CALL threw a bomb into the Examiner
Journal camp Saturday by publishing a state

not through love of the poor workman, as they

In 1895 the Examiner was sound-money

dollar containing dollars worth of silver.
May A, 1895. it said its experience had not en-
couraged it to believe that this country could
maintain parity of value of the two metals at
10 to l, and suggested 25 to 1. Then that
paper stood by Carlisle and opposed 5O-cent or
90-cent dollars. THE CALL is now republish-
ing those articles, TO the discontinue of the

The San Francisco CALL is exposing the
hypocrisy of the Examiner on the money
question, and is thus doing service to the
cause of decency. The Examiner is fakir in
the strictest sense of the term; its political
headings are fakes on the subject matter
which follows them; it is woefuily hypocriti-
cal because it charges as crime that of which
it is itself shamelessly guilty. The Examiner

Letters from the People.
Silver Under Free Coinage.
Some FaIIactss of Steer Men Stated and
Enposed.


Some Falfactss of Steer Men Stated and
Enposed.
Editor San Francisco CdtI-DEAR SIR: VIII you
kindly expose the fallacious statement made
by the Examiner in its editorial Of Sunday
and which it reiterates, in nearly the same
language every day, namely: That "the people
of the United States agree 10 take silver at
81 % per ounce"
The people of the United States have made
no such offer. What does the Examiner mean
by taking silver at 81 % per ounce? Taking
implies giving something in exchange. No
offer of anything else is proposed to be made;
only to give back to the silver-owner his metal
coined into dollars. That is not taking his
silver. l don't think the people OF the United
states want to give their gold or labor or prod
ucts Tor silver at twice its present actual value
The Examiner instances Rockefeller Offering
25 cents per dozen for all the eggs in the
country, but fails to point out the difference
between his paying money for the eggs ana
the United States simply returning the silver
bullion to Its owner stamped into dollars, the
value OF which is an undetermined quantity.
1t is by such juggling with words and sophls-
try that the Examiner befuddles and bemud-
dies many q reader.
1t continually harDs on the statement that
at the utmost only about 5000 100000 worth
of silver bullion could be thrown on our mar
ket. l admit that the silver token money in
use among nations that are on the gold basis
would not flow in on US except, perhaps in
cases ike LhdJ OF france and Germ6Qy, whose
banks hold large and idle reserve OF such
coin; but contend that all the rest of the
world would stand ready to exchange its sill
yer for our gold or products if we stood ready
to make such exchange as the Examiner
wants to 1nsinuate and make its readers be-
lieve, paying for such silver at twice its COM
mercial value. The world would be ready to
accommodate US even If silver under free
coinage would advance to 81 % per ounce.
Would you kindly furnish i'll your valued
paper an estimate of what amount of silver
would likely be thrown in upon us, allowing
for arguments sake the ridiculous proposition
that we could advance the bullion value to
81 % per ounce? Yours respectfully,
1. H. MAYER
1.-THE approximate amount OF silver in the
world is reported to be worth about 81 000,-
100000. The output for 1895 is given by the
Mint Bureau at 174, ,796, ,S75 ounces, having q
coinage value of about 1926, 100000. If the
price rises to ST. % per ounce measured by
gold the output would largely increase. How
much would come to this country under the
conditions named cannot be calculated with
any degree OF accuracy. Enough would GER
tainly be sent to US to reduce the price here to
the level OF that in other parts of the world
less the freight required to ship it here.
Whether that amount would be large or small
is of little moment since in either case it
would be enough 70 depreciate our currency to
the basis of the price OF silver in the market of
the world.-EDIToR CALI
