To the EditOT'-In it's report OF the Y.
M. {. A. field sports, the Hancock Copper
Journal is either very much misinformed
Or is guilty OF willful Misrepresentation.
In any case no journal has any right 10
attempt TO helittle such splendid exhi-
bition OF manly athletics as was given on
Monday last. TO the largest crowd that
has ever gathered TO witness Y. NJ. c. A.
sports in this county. It is true that
most OF the Hancock men declined 10
participate for reasons that are not con-
sidered very manly by those who are
able TO Judge OF the merits OF the contro-
yersy, but the spectators, nevertheless,
enjoyed the events most heartily. 10 the
competition last year Boone was ad-
United as member OF the Y. NJ. c. OF
Chicago. The rule reading that only
members OF the \. NJ. G. A. shall be al
lowed TO participate. II il had been
necessary, Boone could easily have been
enrolled on the list of the Calumet y. NJ.
{. A. before the events took place. Mr.
30 ne is now competing as an amateur
and admitted as such in the west. As TO
DIR. Gregg and Mr.. Dwyer being in the
same class as professionals, the cases are
very different. DIR. Gregg formerly
taught athletics but ceased doing so two
years ago, and is now practicing as a
physician on the staff of the Tamarack
Mining company and where the American
Athletic Association rules applied TO him
he would be reinstated which is more
than would be done for the competitors
for 4th OF July purses. As to Mr.. Dwyer.
heis professional athlete, in the strong
est sense OF the word and in no proper
sense comparable to DR.. Gregg, as Mr.
Dywer ID at present earning a living BY
the pursual ofathletics. Throughout the |
whole OF the Copper Journals article |
there runs a nasty unkind tone, which is
undignified in paper and not calculated
10 produce Y NJ. c. A. spirit. As far as
the track is concerned, the Calumet track |
is very fair for the short time taken in it's |
OF course the Hancock men
prefer their own track, but then Han |
cock men like good many things TO go |
their way and Others tracks have rights. |
A good way TO settle these disputes |
would be to form an association entirely |
apart from the Y. NJ. c. A. TO pass on all |
claims TO amateurship. Such an asso-
citation should be composed OF men who |
are above the suspicion OF being unduly |
by any local association or in /
iividual and the local organization
should bind themselves TO consider the /
decision OF such tribunal as final.

INCOME TAX.
What W. }. Bryan Says About
1t.

"Iu my judgment the income tax
is just. 1t Is not war upon property,
but it Is demand that those who
have property ana who demand the
protection OF their property by Fed
eral laws should be wiling to support
the government TO which they LOOK
for the protection, and not seek to use
the instru nentaIit'es OF government
for their own oeaeit and then throw
the burden OF supporting that govern
ment on the backs of those not able
to bear it. (Applause Wv. J. Bryan

Getting Ready for Winter.

The season is now coming when
thousands OF men will forget their re-
ligion and swear big. bad swears
while putting up stoves which presist
in falling over, fitting large stove
pipe joints into smaller ones or square
into round ones, while their better
halves stand by and say "Oh. dear.
George. you hocrid thing, look how
you are spelling my carpet" or I'D
be ashamed to get so angry about
nothing. If you don't stop that swear
ing I'll put that stove up myself" "
George keeps on swearing but has to
put the stove up just the same.

Table showing the relation or ratlo
existing between gold and silver from
1892 to 1896. 1t will be seen that it
never varied two points, until after
silver was demonetized and from that
time the ratio has become larger.
Sixteen pounds of silver before 1873
was worth one pound of gold, but
now it takes thlrty-two of silver to
equal one Of gold. 1t was robbery
to those who had silver money and a
boon to those having gold. The
above table is official record and his.
tory.
The reason is plain. 1t is because
the money barons OF London and
Wall street can mar ipulate it better
to their advantage in New York; it
was their intention when the law was
passed, and the past shows that they
have succ 3eded admirably wei! in
their intention.
The gold men also claim that the
monied men would buy the silver of
the world at fifty cents on the dollar
and have it coined into standard
money, thereby making fifty cents on
each dollar They also claim that
owing TO overproduction of silver we
could not maintain parity between
gold and silver at the ratio of l6 to |.
II they will look at the statistics here.
in given they will find that the ratio
OF gold and silver has been at nearly
16 to l from the beginning of our
country. 1t was so ordained by the
Creator and no law OF mans can
charge IT. We will now quote from
Bennetts paper on silver to show the
falicy of over production etc.
| Now, how, when and where has
the coinage of silver and gold proved
Injurious? 1t is hard to prove neg.
ative; but sometimes it is done. Dur.
ing the eighty odd years both metals
were freely coined, no injury to the
country or the people occurred. Since
silver was stricken down, ,eThe farm
ers, says Senator Jones, "have lost
| in the depreciation OF values in wheat
and cotton alone four billions OF dol
lars" Is this benefit or an injury
to the people2 Real estate has de-
preciated since the demonetlzation Of
silver at least forty per cent. Is this
a benefit or an inju,y to our country
and people7
| Silver as a product Of the Amefi'
can mines has deprecated seventy.
| Eve per cent. Is this an injury Of
benefit 10 the country and people?

dollar. besides the expense OF trans
mitting. Is il reasonable to suppose
that q nation would send her full
legal tender dollars 10 America TO be
coined into standard silver dollars
and lose three cents on each dollar
and pay the expenses and take back a
dollar with three cents less silver In
ii that could only be disposed OF as
bullion and wonld not be legal ten
der for single debt?
Men and brethren, is the world all
a fool but the goldites of America
and England?
One more analysis of the last argu-
ment of the goldites and | am done.
II is said there is an overproduction
of gold and silver. We do not seem
to have too much in America-and /
do not hear complaints from other
countries. The statistics show that
from 1901 to 1850 the total product
of the gold and silver of the world for
every SlOe worth of both gold and
silver, 367 per cent was gold and
63.3 per cent was silver. Now, take
the twenty years from 1874 to 1898,
when there was an overproduction
charged, and what have WEI Of ev-
cry SlOO worth OF both gold and sill
yer 57.4 per cent was gold and only
52.6 per cent was silver, ten dollars
less silver in every 500 worth OF
both metals in the twenty years from
1874 to 1893 than in the fifty years
from 1901 to 1850, and this is called
overproduction.
The parity between the silver and
gold dollar can only be maintained
properly by the free and unlimited
coinage Of both into full legal tender
money. The parity is established by
the law which treats both metals
alike as money metals. Ratio is sim
ply the relation in which both shall
be coined and has for its purpose the
retention OF both metals for use in
our own country. The primary pur-
pose in every sovereignty in making
money is to have circulating medl,
um, a facility for exchange.
The blather of the political dema-
gogue about the balance OF trade be
ing paid in sound money is misera
able lie.
| We pay the balance OF trade BY
the balance of trade. Our importers
have imported more stuff than W,
have exported stuff to pay for it
How shall we settle? By drafts
What are the drafls paid in? B.
our products; not IN money, but a.
bullioo. Our gold end silver coin
are weighed, not counted, just as ou
wheat is weighed.
| But our debts are paid in golC
coin. Yes, that is the crime of th
j demonstration of silver, and tn
perpetrator Of that vlllanious crime il

Mr.. Webster was right it was crime
to pass the act Of 1873 aud it is just
as much of crime to continue it, as
it was to commit it at first.
We we're prosperous people until
we fell into initiating the ways OF
England by passing a single gold
standard. Now all the facts stated
above are a matter of history and
therefore authentic. They are plain
blunt facts.

if our mints were opened to the free
coinage of silver, that they would be
