How a Lion Roars His Best.

The lion seldom roars his best, because
good roar needs great physical eff
fort. The whole interior and muscles
of the mouth, throat, stomach and alb
domen are, for the moment, converted
into an organ of terrific sound, and the
sound does make the earth tremble, or
appear to do so. But the attitude is not
that usually drawn. Unless he roars
lying down, when he puts his head up,
like dog barking, the lion, emits his
first moan in any position, then draws
nj his neck and lowers his head with
extended jaws, right down to his fore
paws, as if about to be violently sick:
while at the same time the back is
erched, and the whole animal bears an
appearance of concentrated strain. This
is Capt. Millais' phonetic rendering of
the sound, taken when listening to three
lions roaring their best: Moan-roar--
r-o-a-r-roar-roar-r grunt-grun5
--grunt-grunt dying away. Why
lions roar, when, it ought to pay better
10 keep silent, is not yet explained

stration of the fact that it is the credit
of our government which keeps the sill
yer dollar afloat at AZ cents more than
its intrinsic value, just as it keeps its
paper notes, which have no intrinsic
value at all, at an equality with gold
dollar. Free. unlimited and independ-
ent coinage at sixteen to one" would
mean dollars worth even less than Mex
lean sitter dollars.

TRYING 70 DODGE.
Candidate Bryan Appeals to National
Prejudice.

Prejudice.
In the speech which gained him the
democratic nomination for president
Hon. w. ]. Bryan, of Nebraska, said in
reference to what he termed "the great
paramountissue:" "My friends, we shall
declare tibet this nation is able to leg.
lslate for its own people on every ques.
ton without waiting for the aid OF
consent of any other nation on earth
and upon that issue we expect to carry
every single state in this union"
Ii this means anything it means that
the paramount ISSUE on which the
silverite campaign is to be fought is
not free silver at sixteen to one, but the
question whether this country is able
to legislate for it's own people. On this
issue there can be no dispute. OF course
the United States can legislate without
the aid or consent of any other country.
No advocate of sound money will for a
moment deny Mr.. Bryan's assertion,
nor has anyone ever done so. If con-
gress chooses to pass law that the
tides shall never rise more than four
feet along any part of our seacoast, it
has perfect right to do so. If the
United States wishes to enact legisla.
ton forbidding the Russian thistle to
grow, 1t is able to do so without the
consent of any other nation. If con-
gress chooses to fix the price of sugar
at four cents per pound, it can legislate
to that effect without any aid from
hated British or Frenchman. There is
no doubt about our ability to legisldte
on every question without asking any.
body's consent.
But if congress passes foolish laws
will they have any effect? That IS the
real issue. Can the price of such COM
modify as sugar be fixed by our laws?
Certainly not. Equally impossible
would it be to fix the price of silver at
sixteen to one of gold. No believer IN
sound money thinks or says that we
cannot pass free and unlimited six-
teen to one coinage law. They dn say,
and all the experience of mankind
proves that they are right. that under
such law this country cannot alone
maintain the value of silver at the pres
ent ratio.
Mr.. Bryan's attempt to run away
from the question as to our ability to
raise the value of all the worlds silver
without the agreement (not consent. rs
he states it) of the great commercial ma
tions shows the weakness of the silver
cause. Confusing the ability to iegis-
late, which nobody denies, with the
ability to control values by legislation
may do for stump speech. 1t will not
deceive the American people, who know
well enough that our laws cannot fix
the value of silver or of any other labor

WHY HE LEAVES HIS PARTY.



Mr.. Samuel Dickson, of Philadelphia,
a lifelong democrat and an influential
citizen, has resigned as presidential
elector on the democratic ticket.
Among other reasons for his action he
gave the following:
1t is merely paltering with the truth
to pretend to acquicsce in the eXpe1l-
ment of trying to make the product Of
a days labor in a silver mine worth
two or five times as much as the product
of a days labor in gold or an iron
mine. At the present time the results
of days work in one occupation are
worth approximately and in the long
run as much as in any other. To afflN
an artificial value upon silver ore is
dishonest and unjust discrimination
against every other form of industry,
and when it is done by calling it legal
tender IL is done at the expense of
every class in the community except
the money lenders and the money
changers.
With currencies of different value in
circulation, the money lenders always
thrive at the expense of the people, and
the debtor must suffer more than the
wage Garner. 1t was favorite saying
of Lord Palmerston that high rate OF
interest meant bad security, and the
owner of money must charge for the
risk if there is chance that when he
lends a bar of gold he may be forced
to take payment in a bar of silver, just
as the owner of horse will hesitate to
lend it with chance of being given in
return sheep or a pig. That is all
there is in bimetallism rs a practical
question as between the lender and the
borrower, and, so stated, it ought to be
easy to understand why, until it is
stated, hundreds of millions of capital
are lying idle which would be at the
service of the south and west if they
were willing to give back what they

In no other part of

mentioned.
The first coinage
law passed by con-
gress made both gold
and silver coins the
unit or measure Of
value. The Spanish,
milled dollar w a 3
made the unit or
number, but t h G
coinage of gold was
based on a fixed
number of grains of
gold, and not on a
ratio with the silver
dollar.
The coinage law of
1873 was passed after
three years discus
sion IN congress, and
it was printed u
times in the course |
of its enactment.
The speeches in both |
the house and senate
during the proceed
ings ON the bill show
that the change was
made as openly as
any other law ever
passed by congress.
There is no proof
that gold has appre-
ciated. Measured by
its labor cost-that
is, the amount of
labor necessary to
obtain a given guam
tity of it-gold is
cheaper to-day than
in 1879.
