Bryan as a Silverite.
Lansing Republican,

First-Repeal the silver purchasing
clause of the Sherman act, for the reason
that Its effect has been to put into circula-
ton silver currency of such debased value
as to shake the confidence of timid inves-
tors and to force out of circulation much
money ordinarily used to transact the bust
ness of the country, thus producing strin-
gency and alarm.
Second-Provide for the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver on such standard
as will put about 100 cents of silver In each
dollar, taking the average value for the last
IL months.
The World Herald believes that the two
propositions contained in the above para
graphs appeal to the sound judgment of the
intelligent people of Nebraska.
With regard to the first there ought to be
by this time no question. Whether or not
timid investors were justified in becoming
alarmed at the prospect of deprecated
currency makes no difference. They may
have been foolish, but even then their fears
world and produced vast trouble. Remove
the cause of their fears and restore conf
dence.
The second is practical, honest and safe
bimetallism on the ratio of 1. to %. 1t
would reopen all the silver mines of the
west and be equivalent to affording a per-
manent market for silver at about SO cents
per ounce. Investors would know that a
silver dollar contained as much real value
as gold dollar, and it would, therefore,
pass as readily in foreign business as gold
Confidence would be restored. The grad
ual increase in the supply of silver currency
worth par would proceed. The silver in
terests would be stable and reasonably
prosperous.
No people, except the greedy owners of
silver mines, anxious to make inOrdinate
profits, are interested in coinage at the ratio
of to 16.
No people, except those avaricious own
ers of money, who profit by contracting the
currency, are interested in prohibiting hon.
est free coinage of silver at the ratio of
1 to 25.
We have no silver mines i'm Nebraska and
the interests of the people of this state
simply require free and unlimited coinage
of silver upon the basis of its reasonable
value, which cannot be far from 1 part of
gold to 25 of siver.-Omaha World Herald,
July 81, 1898, when w. j. Bryan was its
editor.

An Interview.

The following is copy of an interview
had with Selden s Miner. who is now
candidate for the Office of Circuit Judge on
the combination ticket, In this 35th judicial
circuit. against Stearns f. Smith, candidate
on the republican ticket for the same Office.
The interview was published In the Argus
on June 18th, last. This interview was had
by the reporter of the Argus shortly after
Mr.. Miner had been informed by leading
republicans of Shiawassee county that they
could not give him their support for nom
ination for such Office on the republican
ticket, as against Judge Smith, and while
Mr.. Miner still claimed to be a republican,
and before he changed his political affilia-
tions, and as against w. p. VanWinkle, of
Howell, obtained the nomination for that
Office on the combination ticket. The inter-
view speaks for itself.
s. s. MINER NOT A CANDIDATE FOR CIR
CUT JUDGE.
although not publicly announced, the
many friends Of Attorney s. s. Miner have
spoken of that gentleman as possible can
didate for Circuit Judge. The Argus inter-
viewed the gentleman, who, in his usual
kind way said, My name has never been
announced in the papers as candidate for
Circuit Judge on the republican ticket, and
can say that am not candidate for that
Office. At the time of the republican county
convention some of my friends came to me
and asked my consent to use my name. l
replied that would consider the question
and let them know. 1 gave 1t much thought.
l put myself in the place of Judge Smith,
the present incumbent. He has had the
Office only short time. His practice has
been scattered, and IL he should go off the
bench, he would practically have to start
anew. Under these circumstances he
should enjoy another term. Taking all
this into consideration, went to Judge
Smith and told him was not candidate.

w. j. Bryan, the anarchistic candidate
for president, came to Owosso. Saturday,
and a more miserable failure to make a
good impression has never been seen in the
county. He dsheartened the strongest
silverites, he Disguised the honest democrat,
he fairly pushed every doubtful voter in
.Shiawassee county into the republican
ranks. Coming onto the platform, with a
former republican to introduce him, his
presence failed to cheer the heart of the as
sembled multitude; with his SLOUGH hat on
the side of his head, his neck scarf sticking
out from his upturned overcoat collar, his
hands showed into his pockets, his angry
countenance and popuistic haircut and his
evidently weary feeling, made him look
not like a statesman, but like third rate
actor, attempting the part of Booth. His
looks did not deceive him for, instead Of
using the few minutes here to tell even one
good thing that could come out of his cleo
ton or the election of free coinage con-
gress, he grinned like big gorilla, when
some on in the crowd would say some fiat
tering thing about Bryan himself, and in
his anger was unable to reply to the con-
tinued calls for speech. The evident
preponderance of the blue Mckinley badge
disconnected him, and his departure was a
relief to the silver bowler.

The republican party of Shiawassee coun-
ty has reason to be exceeding joyful over
the work of the past week. First, the visit
of Bryan, resulting as it undoubtedly did,
in an injury to the silver cause; the magnif-
cent meeting Tuesday evening addressed
by Gov. ELECT Powers, showing the enthusi-
asm of the farmers and laborers of the coun.
ty for republican victory; the meeting in
Ovid, where two large audiences attested
their desire to uphold the nations honor;
the inceasing earnestness and enthusiasm of
the sound money democrats, bringing to
their ranks, as they are daily, the demo-
Gratis of four years ago, who now begin to
realize what a vicious, unpatriotic and dan
gerous element is in control of their nation
al party under the silver head, and the re-
ports from canvasses made all over the state
showing that republican gains of enormous
proportions will be made in many of the
So called doubtful counties. Our county
candidates have reason to be glad that So
called editor who owes everybody he can
and who, by his own testimony, has been
bought and sold politically, is finally out Of
the party of honor and into the crowd where
he belongs. He controls no votes, and sim.
ply lives along too useless to die. too
worthless to buy, too unworthy to have
the respect Of even the man who de-
clares that he is a republican from principle
and will support an honest candidate for Of
fee and then takes a nomination against
him. The party is gamer that loses them
both.

Special to the Jersep CITY Nsars.

TRENTON, Aug. Il, 1SeS.-Everywhere
the signs of ~stagnant economic conditions
are apparent. The .Pennsy'' has many
idle freight cars stored on her tracks.
Even at such urdmportant sidings as
those between Mount Holly and East
Burlington, there are long rows of emp
ties" A few are being moved for West
ern crop transportation, but these make
no visible impression hpon the thousands
of Silent wheels.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
keeps an accurate record Of aid the build

who does nothing else but travel from
town to town and take notes regarding
the station buildings, offices and freight
houses.
The freight houses and depots are visit
ed by this same official, and an accurate
record of their condition noted. These rec
ords are placed on file in the general Of
fees at Philadelphia, and those relating
to Trenton are of as general interest as
any In the big collection.
