AS a contribution to financial and
economic thought the following utter
ance of Mr.. Bryan, made In Kentucky,
is the most remarkable yet offered even
by him:
"R any man in this community would
offer to buy all the eggs produced at 20
cents dozen and was able to make
good the offer, nobody would sell eggs
for less, no matter what the cost of
production, whether l cent or cents a
dozen. So with silver. Free coinage
would establish the market price Of sill
yer ut s1.29, and nobody would sell 1t
for cent less"
Why limit the price Of eggs to %
cents and of silver to $1.29? If the rea-
soning is sound, the price in each case
might easily be doubled, and the oonse-
quent benefit to the human race CORE
spondingly increased. And why stop
with eggs and silver? Why not mark up
the price of everything you wish to
buy-offer to pay double or treble what
is asked for it and keep on paying that
price to all comers-hold it therep
That's all you have to do-hold it
there. Nobody would sell it for cent
less" says Bryan, so long as you held
it, $50 with silver. And the man
who is putting forth such thought as
this is a candidate for the presidency of
70, 100000 of people in the closing
years of the nineteenth century,

characterization Of Silver.

Silver was not demonetized by con-
spiracy nor clandestinely; neither have
the results been as they are claimed by
tho free silver men.
Silver was demonetized by Great
Britain 100 years ago because it 1uctu-
ated, because two yardsticks of I'M
equal length or two bushels of changing
quantity is an absurdity, an obstacle to
business and commerce.
All the civilized nations have tried
the same experiment with the double
standard, have found it delusion and
a snare and have come to the single
gold standard as better thing.
The civilized world Is now using
more silver, has sounder money and
lower interest than ever before in the
history Of mankind.
The attempt to return to the double
standard is reactionary, illogical and
irrational and will not succeed. Revo-
buttons go forward, not backward. -
Madison Ind. Courier.

why Canital Is Timid Today

There is capital enough for every
legitimate business enterprise, and by
the processes of credit it can be multi
piled indefinitely, but it cannot be set
at it's work so long as men fear that it
will be suddenly cheapened in the using
Capital brings no return to the owner
unless he somehow puts it at the service
Of the community, but the tempting
lure the lenders follow is profit. and
when the risks are great the profits
must also be great Remove the thought
of risk, and boarded capital will be set
free, mills will start up, railroads UNI
dertake extensions and improvements
and hopeful enterprises commend them
selves to investors. AS it ID, pending
the decision of the value of the dollar,
no one is spending, every body is hoard
ing. We live from hand to mouth, with
the machinery of prosperity idle at orr
doors. -Boston Congregationalist.

The advocates of free coinage in the
west and south don't take any stock
In Bryan's occasional assertion that he
contends that the adoption of this
policy would put up the price of silver
to $129. Indeed they would lose all
interest in the agitation if they sup
posed that the silver dollar under free
coinage was to be worth as much as
the gold dollar is now. The real senti-
ments Of these people are clearly ex-
pressed by James Kitchen, an extensive
farmer and stockman of Grayson, KY. F,
who, when asked tho other day why he
was for free silver, made this reply:
am for free silver because am in debt,
and IL we get free coinage can pay my debts
with one-half Of what it now costs under our
present money standard. And another reason,
employ laborers on my farm. They are the
creditors am the debtor Under FREQ coin
ago can pay them with one-half 1t costs me
now. for ii will raise the price Of products,
and can then hire my farm help for 60 cents
q day and pay them In bacon at 10 cents q
pound.
1t must become more and more plain,
as the campaign proceeds, that this is
the motive and must be the result of the
free coinage agitation. The question at
issue will thus finally resolve itself into
the larger question, whether the Ameri-
can people still believe that honesty is
the best policy.

An Object Lesson In Silver.

There is an American silver dollar.
There are two Mexican dollars There
ia more silver in each of them than in
the American dollar. l bought both of
them for that What is the reason? The
sole reason is that our dollar is limit
ed coinage. backed by gold. There is
another coin. That is French franc
piece. / paid 90 cents for that 1t car
ries little less silver than the Ameri-
can silver dollar. France and the Unit
ed States are both gold standard conn
tries. They keep In circulation thou
sand millions of silver, and Mexico and
China and Japan have not got one dol
lar of gold in circulation. The gold
standard country can keep silver in cir
culation. The silver standard country
can keep no gold. That is tho example
Of every nation today. Gold all leaves
the free coinage country. Gold and sill
yer both circulate in the gold standard
countries From a Speech by Senator
Lodge.

half the purchasing power Of wages and
reducing by one-half the value of all
savings, assurances and loans And so
he pretends that free coinage will in
crease by nearly one-half the price of
silver and make a silver dollar worth
truly as much as gold one.
But in the west and i'll farming com
munities Mr.. Bryan wakes eloquent on
the need of q cheaper dollar to increase
the price of farm products and enable
the farmer to pay 500 of debt with SOL
in silver, Leading silver advocates at
the west have repudiated Mr.. Bryan's
idea for eastern hearers only that free
coinage will increase the price OF silver
to 81. 30. They say fatty that such dol
lars would be as bad as gold. What
they want is dollar worth only 81
cents.
Which dollar does Mr. Bryan really
want2 He cannot have both. Which is
to be bunkoed-the workingman or the
farmer, the mine owner or the debtor?
Which?-New York World.

THE SILVER QUESTION lNAnUTsHELi
Free Coinage OF Bricks Would Not Raise
Their Price.

Did you ever stop to think what
would be the result if the government
should by legislation determine that Or
binary building bricks 2 by by .
inches in size should be legal tender in
any amount for 81 each and should ar
range to have them so stamped in any
quantity free Of cost to the persons pre-
senting them?
Under such circumstances the price
of building bricks would at once advance
to 81, 900 thousand, for if they could
be "coined" without cost the bricks
"uncoined" would be worth just as
much as the "coined" bricks-$1 EACH
But did it ever occur to you that 1t
would not be an advance in the value OF
the bricks, but decrease in the value
Of the dollars, which would thus estab-
lish o new parity between money and
property !" that under such system
$1,000 would be worth only LOCO
bricks; that that 1000 bricks would
exchange for no more commodities or
labor than it does today, and conse-
quently that 81, 1000 would mean nc
more to us than /, 600 bricks do now?
In other words, our government can
determine by legislation what commod-
ity and what amount of that commodity
81 shall be, but it must leave it to the
laws of comparative supply and de-
mand, cost of production, ETC., to de-
termine what the value of that COM
modify shall be- 1t may declare that
brick shall be q dollar, in which case
81 will be worth whatever brick Will
exchange for. 1t may declare that 20.
grains of gold shall be dollar, in
which case 81 will be worth whatever
25.S grains of gold will exchange for,
or it may declare that 41215 grains Of
silver shall be dollar, in which case VI
will be worth only what 4121a grains OF
silver will exchange for, the same to-
day as 503 cents in gold, or, giving
the debtor the option" as to what dollar
he shall use with which to pay his
debts, it may declare that each of these
three shall DO dollar, in which case
81 will be worth just as much as the
least valuable of the three, which under
present conditions would be the brick.

Design For Bryan Dollar.
Sam Jones Makes It Clear.

Suppose, says the Rev. Sam Jones
of Georgia, the government owned all
the gristmills in this country and con-
gress should enact a law that all corn
should be ground by the government
mills free and that while corn was
worth but Is cents bushel the govern
ment would stamp the sacks of meal SO
that it would bring 90 cents bushel
and do this for nothing. 1t is very
hard matter to keep meal above the
price of corn

Tut This In Your Pipei

If you are farmer with an overdue
mortgage or with one that must soon be
renewed, beware of free coinage. 1t
may get you into trouble. Dollars will
be cheaper with free coinage, just as they
now are in Mexico, but interest will
surely be nearly double what it is now,
or about equal to present rates in Next
co and other silver standard countries.
Unless you are prepared to pay your
mortgage at once, you should study this
interest question before voting for cheap
dollars.

Mann convened in special session in the
court house, Thursday afternoon. The
object III meeting was the appointment of
justice of the peace. Justice Falconer
had resigned, and Justice Nelson refused
to qualify, ex Justice Olson did'nt want it
an more, and the Office went-a begging.
The only Justice in the county was Judge
Anderson, end he was incapaciated by
sickness and could rot act. The nearest
Justice to Washburn was at Painted Woods
on the Burle,gh county line. The Board
therefore rendered the appointment 70

fled at once. Merchant Wahl and Aut j.
tor Casselmen went on his bonds. While
there is only two Justices within radius o
twenty miles-Judges Van Solen and Wal

Remember this: No peddler does any
thing to help the town. He gives nothing
to churches, schools or public enterprise.
He pays no taxes. He has nothing in
common with our people. He can swim
die you-often does; and you can't help
yourself. He has no store down street to
which you can return goods that are rot
up to the new sample. The intinersnt
merchont has no reputation to sustain.
He can cheat YOU with impnnity. The
home merchant is and does different. He
bears his snare of the expense of the
good government. When the subscrip-
tion papor is passed he is the first ap.
preached. He builds house which en-
hances the value of all property. He
helps pay for the church in which you
worship, and the school to which you send
your children. He cannot afford to mis-.
represent his goods or swindle.-Ez.,
