4 GREAT MEETING.

In all that makes a great meeting Impressive
and lasting in influence the one ut Madison
Square Garden last night has seldom. If ever,
been surpassed in the history of New-lOrk. The
throng numbered fully third more than that
which Mr. Bryan addressed and was not com
pcsed of sightseers who poured out of the hall
"a soon as they had heard a few sentences. with
thousands of additional seats. and apparently
every seat filled the great audience remained
with scarcely perceptible dminution to the end.
II was a superb audience in character. intensely
enthusiastic at times, but always deeply in ear
nest. and wonderfully quick 10 catch every point
of the orator Too much can hardly be said Of
the perfection of. arrangements. which were such
that the vast throng assembled and dispersed
without the slightest disturbance. No one could
witness the sea of upturned and eager faces. and
the swift and deep emotion with which every
good argument, clear statement or eloquent APP
peal was answered. without feeling that the
sound-money cause had forever honored itself in
New-York by the magnifcence of this demon
stration.
Bourke Cochran was better than his best 1t
was as if the unprecedented throng and its pow
erful earnestness lifted him up to higher flights
of reasoning and eloQucnce. From the opening
sentence TO the last words OF his ringing perora-
ton. be had the fixed attention of the multi
tude and his voice penetrated the great hall so
perfectly that far in the outer corners. as III the
throng nearest him, there was instant answer TO
his best points. Striking straight home at the
very start in an admirable statement OF the
issue to which fer honest and for patriotic men
there could be only one side. he surpassed any
Of his previous addresses in close and philo-
sophical reasoning, in clear statement of those
broad and deep distinctions between the false
and the true in economic and public policy which
not many speakers grasp, and in powerful ap-
peals to the good sense, the common honesty and
the abiding loyalty of American citizens.
Those who read the speech cannot begin to ap-
preciate the tremendous power with which the
fire of the orator and the answering fire of the
vast audience impressed great truths upon every
nearer. He showed with homeiy illustrations
that not volume but activity Of money is the
essential thing To the notion that Government
can create money. he replied that Government
creates nothing and can favor one only by TAX
ing from others To the plea that prices would
be raised by cheap money. he answered by ex-
posing in all its nakcdncsS the conspiracy 10 rob
labor of part Of its earnings by reducing the pur-
chasing power OF wages Throughout Mr.. Cock
ran made the condition of the wage-earner the
test of the Popust theory. 1t was splendidly
eloquent address. but il was far more than that.
1t was a powerfully convincing address. which
will be felt in every State of tie Union.

THE FREE COINAGE SILVER DOLLAR.

The silver dollar under free coinage elmer
would or would not be worth az much as the
cold dollar That is self-eyiden'. There can %
no third alternative.
Suppose the latter 10 be true. as the over
whelming weight of argument. testimony ana
historical experience IN both this and other coull-
tries indicates SUPPOSE the silver dollar under
fre, coinage should prove to be worth not as
much as the gold dollar What then: IL Is per
fpctly clear thar the farmer would not be bene-
flied He might get more dollars for his crops,
but they would he deprecated dollars worth less
than ono hundred cents each He might get Il
greater number OF them. but the total value OF
Them would be no more than that of the fewer
gold dollars he now gets So the prices he would
cet Uould be no higher than they are now.
But SUPPOSE on the other hand. the former
theory 70 he true Suppose. in defiance of all
rules of finance and common-sense, the silver
dollar under free coinage should prove 10 De
worth as much as the gold dollar What then?
Would that dollar be any easier to get than at
present: Would the farmer receive any more
northumberland silver dollars for his crops than
the onc-hundred-cent gold dollars he now gets:
Ii is iDconceivable. If thing be worth only one
hundred cents in gold. it will he worth only one
hundred cents in silver. If it be worth only one
dollar in gold il would be worth only one dollar
in silver If the silver dollar were equal TO the
gold dollar Things equal 10 the same thing are
equal 10 each other So in that case. TOO, the
farmer would be no better off than he is now
If free coinage of slvc" be adopted, the silver
dollar will either be Il cheap dollar easier. per-
haps TO get. but much less valuable after you
have got IT, than the present dollar: or it Will be a
sound dollar. just rs valuable and just as hard
to get as the gold dollar. No other solution of
the problem is possible, or conceivable, and either
Would brand with ut-er falsty the present prom

The speeches Major Mckinley is making are
exceedingly effective campaign literature One
of the best of this remarkable series OF brlef Dut
forceful addresses was that given yesterday 10
n military company composed of colored men
from Cleveland. The company paid MI NC
Kinley the compliment of clectng him as its hrsl
honorary member. In his reply he spoke glow
ingly of the progress made by the colored race
since emancipation. and then by an easy trahsi-
ton passed to the consideration of the issues OF
the hour One sentence OF this speech deserves
the widest currency: I'VE must not forget that
nothing is cheap to the American people when
comes from abroad when it entails idleness
