No doubt Candidate Bryan's speeches
and the approval that they receive from
the crowds that listen to them are hay
lug very bad effect upon the business of
the eonntry, inasmuch as their tendency
is TO brighten capital and drive it into
hiding. But there ia this consolation.
The clearer the purposes of Bryan. and his
crowd become, the less the chance that
they will ever have an opportunity to
carry them out. One of the most hope
fal signs of the times is the general
awakening among business men to the
dangers which Bryan's policy threatens,
and Bryan's speeches are well oalcuted
to keep their eyes wide open.
The Portland daily press., 1896-08-12

Our existing currency system, which
the Hon. Mr.. Bryan says places us IN
der bondage to Europe, dates really from
the time of Andrew jackson, and it was
the hero of New Orleans who had really
more to do with bringing it about than
anybody else. The act of 1884 which
changed the ratio of coinage from Is to l
to 16 to l. act favored By Gen. Jack
son and made a law by his signature
was the act that really demonetized sill
yer in this country. That act too, really
established the gold standard, After
that ant went into effect the silver dollar
became obsolete-so far as its use as
money was concerned it was degraded y
For quarter of century preceding our
gold dollars, to quote the language of
Thomas n. Benton, had been conducted
like exiles from the mint to the frontier
and banished. A fer the act of 1884 that is
what happened to CUR silver dollars. Not

Candidate Bryan is talking good deal
about trusts and monopolies and rous-
ing, or crying to rouse, the toiling mas
ses against them ON the assumption that
these trusts and monopoIies are robbing
them. Now while trusts and monopo-
lies do a good deal of mischief, it is not
OF the kind that Mr.. Bryan attributes
20 them. They do not rob the people.
On the contrary VIC feel very certain
that the people are buying the articles
which these mouopolies deal in cheaper
today, than they would be able to do if
they were broken up and their business
GiVided up among a number of concerns.
The way man or n corporation gets a
monopoly of a business is by undertaking
his rivals. He kills their trade by sell
ing cheaper, and after he has secured
his monopoly he is still constrained to
sell cheap else new competitors will
arise. The Standard Oil monop oily is
the greatest one In this country 1t has
crushed out all competitors, set we do
not think it can be fairly charged with
-ooD l hS lh0 pCopl,. LII ICOO htICS6llc
was 30 cents gallon, today it is loss
than 10. The same with the Sugar Trust.
More sugar can be bought now for a
dollar than before the Tru was formed.
The evil Of the Trust does not lie In the
increase of prices to the masses, for as mat
ter Of fact such increase has rarely been the
result; it lies rather in lis monopolizinq
of opportunities of making livelihood,
and thus depriying people OF them. A
monopoly of any business always means
the crushing out of many small concerns
which had been making a living for
their owners; 1t means the abridgement
of opportunities for men to carry on
business and mako living. This is a
serious evil, and constitutes serious in
diotInent against the trust. but We have
never seen any very good foundation for
the charge that the trust robs the poor
man, meaning Thereby that it charges
unreasonable prices for its products.
But whatever the fact may be Candi-
datelBryan's policy presents no remedy.
Free coinage Of silver would have no
tendency to break up trusts On the
contrary 1t would be beneficial to them,
il it raised prices, as its advocates admit
it would, and reduced wages, as past ex-
perience has shown 1t would.

Since 1873 this govornment has coined
over 500, 900, 600 silver dollars, every one
of them a legal tender for the payment
of debts of all kinds. 1T is safe to say
that the ordinary man in this countr y
sees Thousand silver dollars to one gold
one. A million and half of silver dol
lars were coined in May and an equal
number in June. If man doesn't want
gold or bank bills he can easily find
plenty of people who will eagerly ex-
change Uhem for silver. The quantity of
silver dollars in this country today is
greater than the people can be prevailed
upon to use. and the purchasing pow ell
OF every one of them is equal to the gold

about silvera II we have all the silver
uollafs now that the public can be pre-
vailed Upon to use, what is the use of
creating an unlimited supply when the
demand is liinitedp Only two reasons
that amount to anything can be given.
One Is that the silver miners want q
market for their silver, and the other is
that certain debtors want cheaper dol
lar in order to scale down their debts.
AS all the benefits of more dollars are going
TO accrue to the silver mine owners or
the so-called debtor class, ia it worth
while to unsettle the business of the
country. and destroy half the value of
wages and aceumulations for the benefit
of these two olassesa

A Slight Romance. by Edith Leveregt
Dalton: Boston; Damrell g. Upham.
Here is dainty little book, dainty in
it's mechanical execution, and dainty in
its literary expression, the first effort of
Portland authoress, which comes to us
much like the first flower of spring
time, bringing surprise and also promise
of richer coming bloom The theme is
the Oldest and withal the newest Of all
themes, Love. that magic theme, which
fascinates alike youth and age, which
never pals and never can pail upon the
sense while sentient being exists. either
in this or some other sphere OF life. 1t
is prtty tale, well told, with bits of wise
philosophy cleaning here and there like
pearls in silken girdle CT perhaps
better, like sparkling bubbles on a
meadow brook. 1t introduces Us to some
pleasant people. whom we are glad to
know, especially to the two young per-
sons deeply in love with one another,
without either being aware of the others
affection; hence they work at CROSS pur
poses as they always do. We regret the
finale, which apparently leaves them sep
arated forever but Miss Dalton is good
fairy, and we know that when the sequel
comes, as it must forsootht come or we
shall never forgive her, the marriage
bells viii merrily ring, ana our hearts
will throb in unison with the delicious
chords of the wedding march.

A School Algebra Designed for use In
High Schools nnd Academies. BY Emer-
son e. White, A. M, LII. D.. author OF
a Series of Mathematics, - Elements
Of Pedagogy" "Sohool management, T"
etc. Price S. 100. American Book Com
pany. Now York, Cincinnati and Oh Ca
go.
This new algebra combines In one book
complete course in the study, -suffi-
GENTLY elementary for beginners, and adj
Vanced and comprehensive enough to
fully meet the entrance requirements Of
the best colleges and universities. The
book constitutes part of the we'll known
and popular "White's Series of Mathe-
Inatics." The authors aim has been to
prepare school algebra which should
DO pedagogically sound, as well as
fundamentally accurate, and thoroughly
adequate for its place and purpose. He
has kept in mind the fact that the great
majority of the pupils who begin the
study of algebra are too young to master
successfully textbook designed for adj
vanced students. These young pupils
have as GLASS a fair knowledge of the
analytic and induoive processes of ari tn
metic; and true pedagogical principles
require that this prior training be made
as helpful as possible in their introduce
ton to algebra.
Some of the leading and distinctive feat
ures which will commend this book to
teachers of mathematics are the follow
ing: Q) The early introduction and
practical use of the equation; (a) the
application of arithlnetioal approaches to
algebraic processes and principles; (3)
the intelligent use ot the inducive meth
Cd; ~ the immediate application of fact
and principles in simple exercises for
practice; 90 the number variety and
character of the exercises and problems
designed to secure facility and accuracy
in algebrsio processes.

CURRENT COMMENT.
= THE CONDITION PRIOR TO 1878.
New York World. }

Do the free-siIver advocates really want
restored "the conditions prior to 1872"
In that year the total coin in the Unit
ed. States, including bullion in the Treas
ury, was $25; 600, 600. The total money
per capita was $16.58.
Now, the coin in the country, including
bullion in the treasury, is 81, 225, 6l8, 1872.
The money per capita is $50. 81.
Before 1873 we had coined only little
over $500, 900 silver dollars. Since 1878
weShave coined over APO, 600, 90. During
1878 only 296. 1900 were coined. From
January to June 80 this year there were
coined Z, 500, 4l2, or more than during the
entire 81 years of the government up to
1878.

THE BRYAN DEMONSTRATIONS.
lNew York Post. !

The Bryan demonstration at Chicago
has cause some uneasiness, because every
thing that points to his success in the
campaign means business disaster, bad
trade. and the loss Of employment THE
greater the fear of his election, the moro
acute the suffering will be. Yet the
mere presence of crowd on the occas-
ion of his arrival at any place does not
signify anything as to the voting next
November. The Chicago reception sig
miles nothing but the curiosity of
mixed multitude in city of more than
million Inhabitants. Mr.. Bryan is new
man, an attractive man. young man,
and no is running for the Presidency.
These facts are, sufficient TO bring crowd
place, the larger the crowd. Still, the
owners OF property which is threatened
Dy the mad attack on the standard of
value which Bryan represents cannot be
blamed II they become alarmed. 1t is in
evitable that they should be. Mr.. Bryan
is an avant courier Of panic crash The
longer his tour is continued, the more
acute Will be the symptoms, and the more
widespread the suffering. Already Mr.
Bland has recognized ths fact that tho
business community look upon this tour
as an evil omen and has adopted a con-
asrvatiye tone, but what kind of conserya-
tism is that which begins by depreciau
ing the currency one-half and thereby re-
putiiating one hnlf of oil public and pri-
waite debts? All the soothing words in the
dictionary will never reconcile a man to
being skinned alive. Mr.. BANDS oonser-
vatism is merely the evidence that he is
alarmed by the revolt of the conservative
business mon of the Democratic party
against tbs Chicago platform and candi-
dates. The revolt will increase just in
proportion rs the gloom in the business
world deepens.
