To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
In his address TO the old soldiers at Mil
waukee. Wis. a day or two ago. VIM. j.
Bryan. who. strange as It may seem. is
the nominee of a party for President of
the United States that has hopes OF sue
cess. used the following startling state
ment and thought the item of sufficient i'm
portance to speak of It as two sugges-
ticns." He said:
Let me give you two suggestions and
then will close. want you to remember
that the value of a dollar depends upon
the number of dollars l want you to re-
member that when you legislate in regard
TO the number OF dollars that legislation
Will affect the value of the dollars. This
principle OF monetary science is understood
by our opponents, because they have in
Voked legislation TO destroy part of the
countrys S money in order that they might
enhance the rise OF the country's money
and when they tell you that YOU do not
understand the question of finance you
and ignores the law of supply and de-
mand, which simply means that when we
unit money we make it dear. tell him that
when we open the mints we increase, the
demand and it rises in price"
rms is from speech delivered by a man
who is travelling over the country to in
duce people to vote for him for President
OF the United States. Ii was delivered to
an audience which could have insnired no
less patriotic thoughts than the battle field
of Gettysburg inspired in Abraham Linz
coin But what chance lost. He not only
feeling to the hearts of the people Of this
Nation. but turns his malicious zeal i'm All
the force he can. considering his foolish
assertions. TO divide them into classes He
wants the voters to understand that the
value of a dollar depends on the legisla-
their value: that If you limit the number
of dollars you raise their value tor as he
says. make it dear'): that if our dollar
is coined without limit it will raise the
price Cor, as he says increase the de-
mand ma and it rises in price,; that under
the supply is to iacreaser the demand.
If Mr. Bryan is an honest man he has
Dy the above statement, earned the dis
tincuon of being the. most ignorant. illog-
mated for President of the United States.

ment given above shows. him to be tne

would now say that slavery was not a
