BRYAN AND sEwAhLcLUn.

Organizations of this character and
similar to that instituted In This city
Monday evening, are being established
throughout the country. AS in Norfolk
so at other points, voters who have been
lifelong supporters OF the Republican
party. or who have been attached to
that party for years, have enrolled their
names as members. The formation of
these clubs demonstrates that n great
political revolution Is going on in the
land, and they demonstrate an earnest
zeal and interest in PRONUNCIATION of the
principles enunclated In The platform
adopted by the National Democracy at
Chicago.
AS an instance OF the interest that
former Republicans are taking in the
organization of these clubs, 1t is claim
ed that in Kanawha county, West Vir-
ginia. free silver Republicans are join
ing Bryan and Sewall Clubs in great
numbers.
At st. Adams the Bryan and Sewall
Club is said 20 have seventy-eight free
silver Republicans In q membership
of 30. and the club at Maiden sixty
eislJt in a membership of 1SG. In the
Bryan and Sewall Club organized in
the Fifth Ward OF Charleston the Re-
publicans are said 10 outnumber the
Democrats in membership. William
Thayer one of the proprie;ors of the
South Side Foundry and Machine Shops
and a former Republican, was elected
President of this club md w A Eror
syth, who has heretofore been a Re
publican, Secretary. Virgil a. Gates,

have lately been reported TO have en-

Republican ticket; Judge j. b. C. Drew,

ted from circular which It believed
had been issued in 1898 by the American
Bankers Association to the national

The correctness of This circular Is de-

man of the Executive Committee of the

SIMPLY A TRICK or ARMOUR.

n great deal is being said just now
about object lessons. and now and then
some fellow attempts 10 demonstrate to
his employees the injury free coinage
will do them, by paying them off in
Mexican dollars. The latest trick of the
kind has been planned by p. d. Armour.
y dispatch from Chicago says:
''P. D. Armour is planning to show his
employees The probable effect of free sill
yer coinage by circulating the 5O-cent
Mexican dollar at market value among
his employees. The Mexican coin which
viii be given to the employees for so
ce!9ts in United States money contains
eleven more grains of pure silver than
The American dollar
Mr. Armour has $4,000 of these Mex
lean dollars, and will redeem them If
the employees fail 20 pass them at their
real value. He says he Is moved solely
by desire to teach the public. or his
employees more Immediately what de-
strucpiVe features are embodied in a
change TO unlimited free coinage of sill
yer. He believes that n simple practical
illustration, such as is offered by the
Mexican dollar. will accomplish much
more good than pamphlets and exhaus-
tive debates
The Mexican dollar Mr.. Armour
thinks. effectively shows what the
American dollar would be without the
credit of the Government. With every
Mexican dollar given out is distributed
a circular showing the wages of Mex
lean worllInen and the cost of commodi-
ties in That country compared with rhe
United States"
The Augusta Chronicle, comment
ing on the above, says that It may be
That Mr. Armour does not seriously at
tempt any such object lesson. The Wash h.
ington Post, which is usually fair as
well as independent, although rather
leaning to the gold side of the contro-
versy, warns Mr.. Armour tina. he will
do this to his peril, and that 1t will be a
boomerang. 1t says:
Every knows that the Mexican dol
lar is worth but little more than fit,
cents in this country, and, even at tina
| salahle only to dealers i'm the preciou
metals, Every knows. also. that it,
value is so lessened simply because i
