Hamerdown's Good Reasons.

To the Editor of the New York SUM-
SIR shall vote for Bryan and
Sewall. or Bryan and Watson, and
don't you forget it I! Why?
Because Mrs. Hamerdown got a di-
vorce from me some two years ago. The
court compelled me to pay her 800 a
month as long as she lived. This is
81 200 year. If Bryan is elected and
we have free silver this is is only $5Y a
month, or 1886 year. You see have
good reasons for voting for Bryan.

What Southern Business Mon Think.

wnoG southern BUSINESS Mon Think
A canvass of the leading manufacture
ing and other business concerns of the
south regarding the presidential contest
has been made by The Manufacturers
Record of Baltimore with results we'll
worth the careful study of every south
ern voter. The Record sent out a cir.
cular containing these two questions:
Nrst-what in your opinion would be the
effect upon business IL the gold and protection
ticket should winP
Second-What in your opinion would he tie
effect upon business II tho silver and free
trade ticket should win.
This was mailed to several hundred
southern manufacturers. no account be-
ing taken of the partisan predictions
of any. Within one week 161 answers
were returned. 1874 of which were un-
qualiiiedly against free silver, regard.
ing the possibility of Bryan's election
az Q menace to all business interests.
Only Afteen Of the number, or one in
ten. were in favor Of free silver. while
twelve were noncommittal. The in
dustries included were cotton manufac-
tories, lumber operators, iron and steel
producers, coal miners, in short. all the
leading branches Of manufactures and
mineral production in the south. A
good many Of those who replied stated
that for the first time in their lives they
would be compelled to sever old party
relations to protect their business from
ruin.
The value Of these replies lies chiefly
in the fact that they let food Of light

QUESTION FOR "PoP" NOMINEE.

worker or the Indsbtsd Farmsra
Mr.. Bryan is to speak in Brooklyn
tonight. Will he repeat there this
declaration from his speech in Madison
Square Garden on Aug. 12:
am firmly convinced that by opening our
mints to the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the present ratio we can create &c.
nsnd for silver which will keep the price of
silver bullion ct 81. 20 per ounce, measured in
gold.
The World challenged MIR. Bryan to
name country in the world. including
our own, that had ever been able to
keep the two metals at a parity or in
circulation under free coinage at 16 to
J. He was unable to respond, There
is no such example He was obliged to
against the universal experience of
mankind.
In communities where wageworkers
predominate Mr.. Bryan continues to
deny any intention Of cheapening the
dollar. He knows, and they know, that
this wOud mean diminishing by one.half
the purche5ing power of wages and re-
ducing by one-half the value of all saw.
ings, insurances and loans. And SO he
pretends that free coinage will increase
by nearly one-half the price of silver
and make silver dollar worth truly as
much as gold one.
But in the west and in farming COM
munities Mr.. Bryan wakes eloquent on
the need of a cheaper dollar by one- half
to increase the nominal price Of farm
products and enable the farmer to force
payment of 500 of debt with $50 in
silver. Leading silver advocates Of the
west have repudiated Mr. Bryan's idea
for eastern hearers only, that free coin.
age will increase the price of silver to
$l.29. They say fatty that such dol
lars would be as bad as gold in paying
their gold debts. What they want is a
dollar worth only 81 cents, to cheat
with.
Which dollar does Mr. Bryan really
want? He cannot have both. Which
is to be buncoed-the workingman or
the farmer, the mine owner or the deb
tor? Which New York World,

1fr. Bryan Would susrsnass Civilissa
Countries For aalf Civilised.

1fr. Bryan Would Surrender Civilisea
Csuntriss For Aalf Civilissd.
Speaking in the house Aug. l8, 1893,
Mr.. Bryan gave an extraordinary rea-
son for our going upon the silver stand.
ard "A silver standard, too, would
make rs the trading center Of all the
silver. using countries of the world, and
these countries contain far more than
one-haf Of the worlds population. :"
II these words were not of record IL
would be difficult to believe that any in.
telligent and rational American uttered
them.
The Asiatic countries, Russia and the
South and Central American states on
the silver basis, would prove wretched
substitute for Europe as a customer Of
the United States. Last year the total
Of our exports to Mexico was $lb. .0o5. .903 ;
to the whole of Central America, Co..
629, 1853; to European Russia, s., 1855. 900 /;
to Argentina, a, 400, 800; to China, s.
608, 1856; to Chile, $2,79l ,O99. To the
United Kingdom alone the value Of our
exports was 1887, 40, ,65h; to Germany.
$92, ,068, 1858; to Canada, &52, ,894 ,916; to
France, $45. .034, 7s1 to the Netherlands,
$81. .01 ,775; to Belgium. $25, ,356, ,938.
Passing by other countries, whether on
gold or silver basis. it needs but these
to illustrate the colossal absurdity Of
Mr.. Bryan's suggestion.
As Mr.. Bryan processes to be seeking
q market for the American farmer, his
proposal of the substitution of Asia and
the silver standard countries OF this
continent for Europe as our customer
a oS xrySkh v1vnn mn NJ peI
irony. The silver standard countries
of both hemispheres are able to feed
themselves and some of them to com.
pete with the United States in the food
markets of the world. Indeed, the
American farmer has in them his en-
emy, If we have an enemy in the world.
OF our entire export trade the whole of
Asia represents only q. per cent Our
entire trade with Asia in 1896, reaching
the highest figure ever attained by it.
was only 6.l7 per cent. of our whole
foreign trade.
A serious consideration of Mr.. Bryan's
proposal that we should 60 to the silver
standard in order that we might be.
come, as he says, the trading center Of
all the silver using countries, would ap-
pear to indicate that Mr.. Brs an, if volu-
BILE in speech, is sadly deficient in the
rudiments of statesmanship, or, in
palmer language, as a politician he ap-
pears to be wanting in common sense.
When Mr.. Bryan delivered such verbi-
age as this on the floor of the house no.
body paid any attention to him. When
he seeks, however. to become president
of the United States the country must
scrutinize his verbiage to find out what
he would seek to do if he acquired the
power to do anything. Chicago Times

GOVERNMENT RECEIPTS
Must Exceed the Expenses to Insurs
Public Conndence.

i
Public Conndsnce.
There was never any difficulty about
| getting sufficient revenue to pay the
expenses Of the governments when the
Republicans were In control, nor will
there be II that party II again placed in
full power. OF course, to enact tariff
bill, the Republicans must control the
senate as we'll as the house. and it il
possible that they may not be able to do
that until two years from now. It all
depends on the degree Of completeness
Of the Republican victory in November.
The Mckinley bill was passed to re-
duce the revenues Of the government,
which were excessive, to correspond
with the necessary expenditures, and
this 1t did almost exactly. When the
Democrats began to tinker with the
tariff law imports were largely sus.
pended, waiting for lower duties. and
on this account in 1894, the last year of
the Mckinley bill, the government rev.
enue, emitting the postoffice receipts,
were $780,, 722,Ol9. This was insufficient
and the Wilson bill by still lowering
duties kept the revenue at just about
this figure, the government income for
1895 being $287, 1894 1891, and for 1895
SS99, 1904, ,SO6.
The Mckinley act did much better
than this. In the three years during
which the law was in operation un.
menaced by the prospect of immediate
change the government revenue, includ-
ing postal receipts. was as follows:
1891. 1892. 1893
s892, ,812,44 1854. .937,782 85,0l982o
This shows that the governments re-
ceipts under the Mckinley law in norm.
al operation were from 500, ,OOO, 900 to

government receipts under the Wilson
law.-Philadelphia Press.
