POPULISTS NOMINATE
BRYAN FOR PRES, DENT AND r. E. WATSON
FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
Sewali had no Populistic Record, Hence
He Was Drowned.

After four days stormy session,
the Populists, in their National con-
vention at st. Louis, nominated Hon.
WI. Bryan of Nebraska for President
and ex-Cengressman T, E. Watson of
Georgia for Vice President.
By changing the order of things
Watson was nominated first.
Bryan was nominated in the face of
his own declaration hat he could not
accept such a nomination.
1t is understood among the poll
ticians why and how this remark able
result came about. While the great
body of delegates were bowling them
selves hoarse in the vain belief that
they were making political history, the
leaders of the party were in close co m
munication with Chairman Jones, of the
Democratic ma ational committee, fixing
up trap for their blind followers.
While the middle Of the-road faction
were holding a love feast with the W.
]. Bryan shouters, the politicians were
working ont the detail of plan to de-
liver the entire Populist party into the
Democratic camp.
If William ]. Bryan had no other
politial ancestry than the Populist
national conventiohs It coale be said
that he was sired by mob. Almost
from start to finish the convention
was beyond the control of the officers
The managers undertook to put into
effect plan for shutting off debate and
hustling the nomination of Bryan
through in short order. General j. E.
Weaver took the stand and read from
manuscript an address, in which he
declared that it was the duty of the
convention to nominate Mr.. Bryan, in
the face of the telegram from him in
which he declined to accept the nomi-
| nation if Sewall was to be turned down.

The N1onstrcus Wrong.

''The monstrous wrong" for which
Gov. Boies arraigns the republicans is.
the Philadelphia Telegraph says, "the
wrong of giving the poor man the best
money in the world and assuring him
that what little property he may pos
sess or may acquire shaft not be put in
Jeopardy by the uncertainties of a shift
ing and questionable currency; 'he
wrong Of insisting that the dollar paid
to the wage Garner shall be worth 100
cents and shall not be cut down to SO
cents"

Only Secs One Side.

A silverite newspaper says: "a
bushel of potatoes, dozen of eggs and
pound of butter can be bought in
many portions of the western reserve of
Ohio at the present time for 20 cents. +"
And this fact is stated as q reason for
free silver. Would the farmer be any
better Off If he sold his 90 cents worth
of potatoes and eggs and butter for So
cents in coin worth so cents on the dol
lar and had to pay two dollars in silver
coin for every dollars worth of va!ne
that he purchased at the stores and in
the markets Chicago Chronicle,

THE REAL CURRENCY CoNT8AcTIoNIsTs.

THE REAL CURRENCY CONT8ACTIoNISFS.
While the silverites are howling
themselves hoarse over gold standard
contraction Of the currency" the peo-
pie who believe in steadily expanding
volume of money should keep in mind
the fact that free coinage at sixteen to
one would be the greatest contraction
measure of the age. 1t would put the
country on a single silver standard,
would drive gold out of use, would
frighten investors into Withdrawing
loans, would make it impossible for the
government to redeem it's paper obliga-
tions in coin Of any kind, would cause
the suspension of banks by creating a
panic among depositors, and by estab-
fishing precedent for the reputation
of debts would greatly curtail the oper-
ations of our present credit system.
If currency contraction is an evil the
people who favor expansion should
vote to sustain the present system Of
gold and silver, under which the volume
of money has increased from SIS in
1873 to $23 at the present time.

HARvEY'S "SClENTIFlC" MONEY.
A System That Would Deprive Farmers
OF Credit.

System That Would Deprive Farmers
of Credit.
"Out of the wisdom of man came the
use of two metals for use as money,
these metals to be coined into money at
a ratio in weight of sixteen to one,
or in the ratio provided from time to
time. The option was given by law for
the people to use money made from
either metal, either redeemable in the
ether, but each of itself money. The OPP
ton was with the debtor, the person
getting the money in motion. The debt
or thus controlled the demand, and as
demand gives value, the supply being
limited, this option to the debtor shift
ed the demand from gold to silver or
silver to gold, as each increased or de-
creased in quantity. The debtor used
the one most accessible; so if silver be-
came cheaper, the demand was shifted
to it, and this brought it back 10 par
ity with gold, and vice versa
TOW ridiculous! The idea that we can
have scientific or just system Of money
hich gives debtors the option Of pay
ing in two or more metals at fixed ra-
tios! The chief work of money is to
facilitate exchanges. Who prefers to
make contracts in uncertain termss
What merchant would care to give
farmers credit and give them the option
of paying in wheat at GO cents, corn at
AZ cents, oats at 20 cents or potatoes at
is cents per bushel? And who but the
farmers themselves would pay for the
risks and uncertainties if a merchant
We're compelled by law to give credit
only in this way?

FREE COINAGE PLAINLY STATED.
1t Would Retire Gold and Paper Money
from Circulation.

1t Would Retire Gold and Paper Money
from Circulation.
1t is important to remember that fl ee
coinage means the right of every owner
Of bullion to present the same to the
coined without charge into money.
Under the free coinage of silver, the
owner OF 31714 grains of pure silver
would be permitted to turn it over TO
the United States mint and have it
coined without charge or receive there
for one silver dollar. More than this,
under free and unlimited coinage, this
might be extended 10 the whole world.
and the amount of silver coinage would
lie limited only by the capacity of cur
mints and the output of the silver
mines.
II l have made myself understood as
to the meaning of free coinage and 1.-The
ratio" we are now prepared to discuss
understandingly the feasibility of OPEN
ing the mints of the United States to The
free and unlimited coinage of silver by
this country alone q. the ratio of 16 to /.
For myself, after the most mature de-
liberation, | have been unable to reach
any other conclusion than that such a
step would be attended with the nest
serious consequences to the country and
involve all our people in a common dis
aster.
In the first place, the free and unllm-
tied coinage of silver at 16 to i would,

SOME SAFE BETS.

Which Might Be Made with Free Silver
Advocates.
Silver is now worth about 60 cents an
ounce. The silver bullion in dollar
Is worth about 81 cents. Free silver
coinage would raise the price of silver
to 129 cents an ounce, and the silver in
an American dollar would be worth one
dollar in gold the world over even with
out government stamp on it.'-Ex-
Congressman Il. P. Bland, in n. Y
World of July 1, 1896.
If you have 81 neighbor who thinks
Bland is a great statesman, and who is
willing to back his opinion with money,
and who would have anything to lose
after going through the free coinage
cyclone, here are some of the perfectly
safe bets you can make him:
First-That free coinage would not
in one year raise the price of silver to
one dollar per ounce. (You can bet on
any number of years, but would have
to wait longer before the bet could
be settled.)
Second-That the price of silver will
be lower one year after than one year
before the passage of a free coinage act.
Third-That the price of silver will
be less than so cents per ounce when a
free coinage act has been in effect six
months or one year.
Fourth-That at no time within one
year after free coinage at sixteen to one
has become a law will the American sill
yer dollar be worth as much az IS per
cent. Of the value of the American gold
dollar.
If you cannot get even bets, give odds.
The price of silver is determined MAIN
" by the cost of production. All the
silver the world can use can be produced
ut less than rs and probably less than
70 cents per ounce. No legislation can
raise, except for short time, the price
of silver. 1t is to be hoped that we will
never be forced to make this foolish
free coinage experiment, but If we do
we should, if we can find takers, recoup
some of our certain losses by betting OF,
the inevitable.

MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Cotton Letter.

New York. Oct. 1.-(SpeciaL)-For another day the cotton market has been practically cut off from communication by wire with the south. Liverpool almost ignored our decline of yesterday. Yet there was little disposition to buy, and in the forenoon the bears were very aggressive and seemed to have things all their own way. In the after noon the market advanced 6 or points on uneasiness about the effects of the storm, but in the final trading the advance was nearly all lost
 January opened at SPA, declined to S15 rallied to S24, then reacted and closed at S17@S.1S, with the tone quiet. There is a disposition from advices received here to iil- crease crop estimates, and the bears seem confident that January will sell below Sc. Unless Liverpool shows more strength we fear that their predictions may be realized. At present there seems to be little buying power and the hammerng of the German bears seems to encounter no effective re- sistence.
