WHAT SILVER HAS DONE.


 The Sherman law was passed in 1890 Professor Taussig, of Harvard, issued a book in the following year in which he prophesied disaster. That disaster came. It was apprehended by every professor of political economy in every college of the United States, every financial writer in the United States, by every student of economics. It was apprehended by every banker in the United States It was apprehended by every man, whatever his calling or standing, who was familiar with the financial history of the world.
 What was this apprehension-uhis fear? It was that the United States which was then coining one4lhird o | the worlds output of silver bullion could not continue to do so and keeI it's silver dollars as good as gold What did this lead to? It led to eau tion. It led to reduction of credit. I led to a diminution of enterprise. I led to gradual ihoarding of gold, no by the banks alone, but by people o all classes and conditions. dts evi effects are now intensified by the threa of free and unlimited coinage.

WHO WOULD BE ROBBED.


 There are ten million deposltors in the banks of this country with av- craze deposits of less than six hund- red dollars each. There are two mil lions of persons with small savings in vested in building associations. There are five millions interested in life in- surance. There are at least fifteen millions to whom wages or salaries become due every week. These per- sons constitute the creditor class D The masses are really the lending and crediting classes The rich are rather borrowers than lenders: It is the masses that MT.

The business men of this valley and of the thriving towns elsewhere in the terri tory ought to grasp the present situa- 'tion. The election of O'Neill would place Arizona outside the financial and political pale. She would be discredit- ed at Washington. The next congress would simply laugh at her demand for statehood.

MONEY IN VAULTS.

One of the silliest propositions which MT. Bryan veltured Ito get off in the presence of intelligent people was thIs: Why should money get to work when it can make more locked up in vault than it can while at work?''
 If MT. Bryan was honest, and if Mir. Bryan had any money himself, he would not make that sta cement. How can money earn anything locked up in a vault? And is it a fact that people who have money prefer to have 1t locked up in vaults? If they do, now are we to account for the fact that prior to the beginning of the silver agl- tation there was no lack of money? :? MT. Bryan didn't say anything about the lack of money four years ago. He talked free trade then. Not a word about there not being money enough, but all about prices being too high. He wanted then to reduce prices through free trade. Now he wants to raise them through free silver.
 If money earned more by being locked up in vault than it does in actual use, how is it that English cap ital, prior to the beginning of the free silver scheme, and before people who had money began to be afraid to loan 1t for fear they would get back depre- ciated money, in payment, were send ing to this country $2O0,oOO,OO0 a year for investment? Why didn't they keep it at home locked up in vaults Why does not MT. Bryan talk sense ? If it pays better to keep money locked up in vaults, how does it come that so many millions of it has been loaned all over the west to such an extent that MT, Bryan devotes a large DOT ton of his time to enlarging upon the enormous debt which the people of the west owe? How did the people of the west get that money, if it was more profitable for the owners to keep ii locked up in vaults? Did the borrow CTS take it away from the lenders by force and compel them to put 1t oui at interest? Mr. Bryan is simply talk. ing through his hat.
