silver Exports.

During the ~ months ended Jl,ne 10,
1896, the exports OF silver exceeded the
imports by 6,726,345. This silver was
exported as merchandise, and its value
was, approximately, 80 cents an ounce.
II was exported because this country is
large producer OF silver, and other
countries were able TO buy 1t here to al
vantage, just ns they buy wheat and

THE poPULlsTs SELL. CUT.
Practically Absorbed by the Popocratie
Party.


The bargain has been closed after
about a week OF dickerihg, and what
there is of the populist party worth
having has been delivered to Bryan. A
party which claimed to be the incarna-
tion OF rugged virtue and devotion to
the people has sold out for d promised
share Of The spoils of office. Some OF
the delegates who were honest were
duped. The nomination of Watson for
the purpose Of facilitating that of
Bryan was a disreputable trick, worthy
of the INSCRIPTIONS schemers who de-
vised it.
To secure an Endorsement of Sewall
would have been difficult task. The
convention would have accepted Till
man unhesitatingly, whom the popo-
Gratis should have nominated, but to
ask it to swallow the Lone Fisherman.
who In about all the things the popu-
lists have been denouncina, was too
muth
Therefore, in order to trap the mid
tlle-of-t the-road" men, they were at
lowed TO nominate the impossible Tom
Watson for vice president. Then in the
teeth of declarations from Bryan that
lie would not allow Sewall to be sac
iticed, the convention proceeded to
nominate Bryan.
The bargain struck between the popu-
list leaders and the Bryan managers IN
that Watson, the stool pigeon, is to be
put off the ticket in the course of time.
Watson may not like it, but he cannot
help himself. The honor bestowed upon
him is n barren one,
The populist national committee,
y hich is in Bryan's hands, has been
given "plcnary powers over the party
after the convention adIourns, to do all
things that the convention would do if
in session" That committee may not
nut Scwall Oh the ticket, but Il twill take
Watson Off, md there will he only Que
sci of electors.
Mr. Bryan says: 81 will do nothing
which will cndnngcr the success of ti-
nictallism''-that is, of silver mono
rictullism, which is not himetnllism-'
'nor shall do anything unfair to Mr.,
Sevall"
He will not refuse the populist nond-
nation. although he gave orders that
his name be withdrawn if Sewall wps
not nominated, That was only bluG.
