THE MODERN ALADDIN.
How Bryan Ignores the Experience
Of This and Other Nations with
Free Coinage.

Mr.. Bryan states that he believes the
free coinage of silver, by our govern
ment alone, at the ratio of 16 TO l.,
would raise the price of silver to $129
per ounce; and he never tires Of alleg-
ing that our government is strong, and
rich, and powerful enough to accomplish
this result without waiting or asking for
the cooperation of any other country.
In making this prediction Mr.. Bryan
ignores the experience Of this and other
nations of the world in regard to the
coinage Of silver during the past 100
years; but waving that, let US see what
his proposition involves.
/ presume it will be conceded by Mr..
Bryan and his adherents that the price
of silver bullion in this country cannot
be affected without at the same time
affecting it everywhere, and that the
rise in the price will apply to all silver,
whether in bars or wares as well as in
coin, throughout the world
The figures l shall give, except those
showing the production of silver since
1892, are all taken from a report sub
mitted by Mr.. Voorhees,, free silver
advocate, on behalf of the finance com
mittee Of the Senate, March 5, 1894,
which report is entitled Coinage Laws
of the United States from 1902 to 1894,
with an Appendix Relating to Coins and
Currency; Fourth Edition, Revised and
Corrected to August 1, 1894. Prepared
Under the Direction of the Committee"
According to that report, page 275,
the production of silver in the world
from 1903 TO 1892 amounted to 1922
5O7.716 ounces. and there has been pro-
duced since 1892 about SOC. o0C, 900
ounces in round numbers. Add this to
the other sum and we have total of
s 100. 5O7.716 ounces. have no data
showing the production Of silver prior to
1893, and hence cannot give me me fg-
s,n,ed that (. amounted to as much as
thc whole amount of silver that has been

The Working Mans Vote is His own.

Bryan ana MS SQOuterS make MUCH OF
the charge that efforts are being made
to control the labor vote. The labor
vote cannot be controlled. 1t is free.
A secret vote must of necessity be free.
1t was to make it free that legislators
made it secret. There would be ample
ground for criticizing the writing of let
tiers to working people by their employ
ers on the subject of election, if such
action by the employers involved COM
pulsion; for this is a free country, and
the right Of every citizen TO freely eI-
press his own views by his own vote
should and must be sacredly maintained.
Under existing circumstances letters Of
advice written by employers to their ems
ployes are no more to be regarded MS
attempts at compulsion than is the cir
culation of any other class of campaign
literature to be considered as an attempt
at compulsion. They are a legitimate
part Of the Campaign of education
to be Judged by. the arguments they CON
tain, and acted upon as the recipients
may decide to be best for their own in
terests.-Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.

promised him that if the MCKINLEY bill
was repealed better prices would be OBJ

of receiving better prices oil agricultural

Has he forgotten the good times that
all classes, the farmer, the wage worker
and the business man enjoyed under
protection and reciprocity?
Does he propose to accept the promises
of this same Bryan crowd, who make no
references to their pledge of four years
ago that the repeal of the Mckinley
bill would bring relief to all classes In
this country, and who shamelessly ig--
more all reference to those promises, and
now seek his votes under pledge that q
debased and deprecated money Will
remedy the hard times?

A.Fasmer Who Makes Money.

was in Eugene the other day, and in

several thousand dollars in farming
this season, Notwithstanding the
poor crops. He thinks that raising
wheat is the surest way to make money
in the Willamette valley. This year
his entire farm yielded on an average
26 bushels-about two-thirds of crop.
He had 80 acres that yielded 433 BUSH
els to the acre. Last year this tract
yielded 623 bushels per acre. Mr.. Mil
let has earned every dollar he is worth
by tilling the soil, and is one of the
most contented men in Oregon.

takes about twice as much labor and
the products of labor now to do the
same thing.
Hence it seems to me that q re-
turn to that standard silver dollar
which for 81 years served this people
well, swould give us at the same
time an honest 100-cent dollar, and
much cheaper dollar to pay debts with,
than tnat held for speculation by the
gold syndicates, and then should the
other countries follow our lead like
sheep. as you will admit they once did,
as the law of supply and.demand still
applies, silver will be in the greater de-
mand; and instead of our nation going
to syndicates on bended knees for gold,
these gentlemen will be standing at
the doors of their shops barking their
wares in regulation bowery style, and
admitting that their wares are good,
we will step in and supply ourselves
at the old price, % 22-l00 grains for a
