BRYAN'S CROSS AND CROWN.

Last week the Argonaut remarked
That there was a family reminiscent
.tinge about the speech of the Boy Ora
tor Of the Platte before the democratic
convention at Chicago. When Mr.. Will
liam Jennings Bryan waved his ~crucihx
OF gold before the startled eyes of the
democratic delegates. we seemed to re-
member dimly having seen that curio
before. Since our remark in last
weeks issue. others have been similarly
impressed. Police Commissioner Theo-
dore Roosevelt of New York in an in
terview the other day said: Il was in
the gallery Of the house of representa-
tives when Bryan first used the cross
of-gold metaphor in his speech on sill
yer. 1t is wonderful how such an old
gag should have captured a national
convention
Another housing critic has discov-
cred the occasion and the date. 1t
seems that Mr.. Bryan closed a speech
delivered before a committee of con-
gress on December %, 1894, in opposi-
ton to a bill exempting the notes of
state banks from taxation, as follows:
II, for one. will not yield to the de-
mand. ] will not help to cruelty man
kind upon a cross of gold. | will not
aid them to press down upon the bleed
ing brow Of labor the crow of thorns."
And only a few days before the demo-
cratic convention Mr.. Bryan used his
favorite figure again at a joint debate.
Thus it would appear that this splendid
and spontaneous burst of eloquence
was delivered at Chicago at third hand.
Mr.. Bryan. like a certain other gentle.
man, depends upon his Imagination for
his facts and on his memory for his
s%pontaniety.

A RARE CHANCE.

One Of the most striking suggestions
recently made concerning the gold and
silver question from n. w. Har-
ris, a Chicago broker. He suggests that
II any man fears this country is COM
Ing to a silver basis, he should, in
stead of boarding gold. buy silver bull
lion. To a gold man, this seems alb
surd. IN reflection, however, he will
see that it has a fascinating prospect
for profit. If the country should adopt
free coinage of silver, the price of bull
lion would certainly advance. Thus.
on the simple purchase and sale of bull
country goes on a silver basis, this bull
lion could be coined into dollars, whose
legal-tender value would be about dou-
BILE the cost of the bullion. For exam
pie. pure silver sold this week in the
New York market at 691a cents an
ounce. There are $50 troy grains in an
ounce, so that n grain Of pure silver
at this price is worth .144S cents. In a
standard silver dollar there are 4121a
grains of silver and alloy. The pure
silver in the dollar amounts to 371.25
grains, 80 that the actual value Of a sill
rel dollar is 53.757O cents. II you buy
silver bullion and the country goes on a
silver basis, the government viii then
