Presidential Candidate w. j. Bryan

city: II am firmly convinced that by

coinage at the present ratio (16 to y we
can create a demand for silver which
will keep the price of silver bullion at

q free silver leader in Arkansas, differs
from Mr.. Bryan in his Interpretation of

would not waste time advocating the
restoration of the unlimited coinage of
silver. The sole object of remonetizing
silver, as understand it, is to secure a
cheaper dollar with which to measure
and regulate prices"

tors who agree in prescribing big doses
Of sixteen to one pills, but widely disa-
gree as to the results of the medicine

A Caller From the Clouds.

1t was our pleasure last evening to
receive call from Messrs. Geo. NJ.
Phillips, of Albany, N. Y. and Jos.
Eisler, of Adrian, Mich, the former the
manager of the balloon attraction here
and the latter the aeronaut who made
the ascension at the Fair Ground Fri
day. Both were very agreeable gen.
tlemen and their call gave us 40 little
enlightment on "ballooning as she is. "
Joe, who is rather bantam in size,
has made 57S ascensions, having been
at the business for ten yeaas, starting
in when he was IL. He says his sensa-
tions are indescribable when he goes
up; that in ascending he seems to be
standing still and the earth falling
away. The hills and valleys level
themselves and the roughness becomes
smooth. The several townships he
meath him seem to become hollow like
a big bowl. Joe furthermore says he
is happiest when sailing the clouds.
One of his specialties is an ascension at
night with fireworks, The young man
carries no life insurance.

A Bad Old Humbup.

The Denver Republican calls for more
money as the cure-all for the peoples
woes. "They must" it says, "go back
to the good old American policy of BIZ
metallism, under which the country en-
joyed such extraordinary prosperity
from 1892 until the complete demoneti-
zation of silver" Oh, those good old
days." when less than 100000 silver
dollars were coined in the 81 years
from 1902 to 1S73-less than in the first
six months Of the present year-and
when no man ever saw a silver dollar
except as curiosity! Never once in all
this time did the country have as much
money per capita as it now has. Never
once, except during the war, were
wages so high and prices so satisfactory
as in the ~ years following the resump-
tion of specie (gold) payments in 1878.
The talk of good old times" is simply
bad old humbug.
