cate prosperity. 1t is now Mr..
Bryan says only S2I.Io and there
fore times are bad because there is
not enough money to transact the
business OF the country. But all
admit that 1888, 1889, 1890, 1899
were better than 1894, yet in those
years the money per capita was
from one to two dollars less than in
the latter. And in 1886 when the
circulation per capita was the
same nearly as this year, business
was much better than now. Circu-
lation per capita does not always
keep pace with the amount Of
money per capita.
From 1870 to 1873 the figures
were nearly the same. For the
next five years there was FIVE dol
lars less in circulation per capita
than the amount per capita in the
country. Since then there has
been a difference the same way Of
from nine to twelve dollars. II
has not been the want Of medium
of circulation, but OF business to
make it circulate, that has pro-
duced the hard times. Piling up
capital in safety vaults or smelling
furnaces or government minis
might add to the wealth OF the
country and increase the amount
per capita in existence in the coun-
try and the difference become
greater between it AMI the per
capita circulation, but what good
would it do the common people

Democratic County Chairman
Cooke Expounds Bryanism.

S. d. Cooke, Chairman of Dem

ancc, uniquely expressed, without
appeal to reason. Mr.. Cooke says
he does not understand the money

stand it. and, practically, that he
does not intend to try to under
stand it.
Mr.. Cookies admissions are in

Trying to Deceive.

At St. Louis Mr.. Bryan read
some figures from the Treasury re-
port showing that since 1894 there
has been decrease of about 10 per
cent IN the amount Of money in cir
tnlahiON. Then he quoted John
Sherman as saying in 1860 that the
circulation should be increased
$50, 900, 900 per year to keep pace
with the increase OF population,
and says "yet, my friends instead
of having an annual increase in the
last two years, we have decrease,
making deficit of sass, 900, 900 in
the currency of HE eORnfry." His
figures are made to apply to the
volume OF currency in the country
Tin circulation and in the Tr asury).
The statement OF circulation merely
expresses the amount of the gov
ernment issue outside of the Treas
ury OF the United States at the
time. The amount in actual circu-
laton in all the avenues OF trade, or
in possession OF individuals would
be impossible to ascertain. Ninety
per cent of the receipts OF National
Banks are drafts and checks. In
retail transactions only about thirty
per cent used is money, the balance
being checks, That the circula-'
ton OF currency in the channels OF
trade has diminished since 1893 is
true and for this withdrawal OF
confidence the free silver coinage
agitation is largely responsible.

Why 10 to I.

Money is the medium of barter.
Dollar is the term used in the
United States to express an amount
of money. 1t is called the unit OF
measurement of our money. 1t is
divisIble into one hundred fractional
parts called cents. It's fractions
and multiples are used in comput
ing and designating small and large
amounts.
The gold dollar weighs rs 8
grains and contains 23.22 grains OF
fine or pure gold. Since 1887 it
has been practically our standard
of valuation.
In 1892 the silver dollar was au-
thorized to be coined and made TO
contain 37I. % grains of pure metal
being placed on the ratio of IS to
I with the gold dollar, which was
then ascertained to be nearly the
commercial ratio of the two metals.
In 1898, one year after the pas
sage of the coinage law fixing the
ratio at IS to I, that was the exact
commercial ratio. The next year
it was 1887 to 1. The next 5.55
to I, and went on fluctuating year
by year until in 1906 Jefferson ar
bltranly stopped the coinage of
gold, which disappeared as fast as
coined because one ounce OF it
would exchange for an extra half
ounce OF silver.
On Jan. I8, 1887, an effort was
made to conform the coinage ratio
to the commercial ratio which was
then 1888 to I, and the legal ratio
was fixed at 1898 to 1. This
proved to be too low valuation
on silver and the government could
not buy silver and coin it as cheap
as they could gold, therefore silver
disappeared and gold coin circu-
lated from 1896 to 1862.
From 1887 to 1873 Nhe CONNER
cial ratio OF silver to gold had never
reached the legal ratio, and the sill
yer dollar had been until 1874
worth from 4 cents to I cent more
than a gold dollar. In 1874 the
ratio was 1917 and year by year
since then the price of silver bullion
has been falling until now the COM
mercial ratio is 81 toI.
Now if it was deemed proper to
take the commercial value Of the
two metals into consideration on
these two occasions when the diff
ference was slight why should not
the same cause be observed when
ever the coinage is resumed1 A
very easy solution of the question
on that old basis would be to leave
the com as it is in size and weight,
merely changing the word "one"
on the die to "hali" and altering
the date, creating new subsidiary
coin; an honest half-dollar.
This would be about the present
commercial value, and as the in
ducement would not be so great
the bullion producers and sp@cu-
lators would not be so likely to
flood the country with SILVER c3in,
and the currency would only debre-
ciate as Mr.. Bryan says on account

To Adopt Bryan's Idea Of Civil
Service as TO Rewards
and Punlshments,

The Cleveland men among the
lower officers OF the Administration
who have not already declared
themselves in favor OF Palmer and
Buokner are expected to do so, and
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Robert A. Maxwell, Of New
York, who has appointed all the
fourth class postmasters under this
Administration, leads the way by
giving out tonight letter which
he has written to his local paper
announcing his determination to
vote for Palmer and Buckner.
The statement is made very posi-
lively that all the minor officials
who are now openly talking for
Bryan will have to give up their
jobs. 1t is explained that MIR.
Cleveland has up to this time been
too much occupied to pay any at.
tention to Mr.. Baldwin, Mr.. Bell,
Mr.. Wike, Mr.. Fleming, or any of
the others who are working for
Bryan, but that when he gets
around to it their heads will 60 off,
Doubt is expressed that reslgna-
tions will be asked for; but direct
dismissal is expected. The diff
Guilty about acting at this time is
that the officials can say that they
have no right to assume that they
gave offense to Mr.. Cleveland by
supporting the regular Democratic
ticket.
After the formal announcement
by Mr.. Cleveland OF his support OF
the indianapolis ticket the situa-
ton will be different. This shadow
OF an excuse will be gole. Those
who can speak on the subject de-
clare that Mr.. Cleveland can con-
ceive of no greater affront an Off
cial OF this Administration could
commit against him than to par
ticipate actively in support of the
Chicago platform. The offense is
aggravated by the fact that this
support Is impossible without a di-
rect attack upon the bond issue
and gold policy OF the Treasury
Department.
President Cleveland may decide
that it is best that neither Secretary
Carlislenoruany OF the other mem
bers of the Administration desiring
to take the stump for Palmer and
Buckner should do so, Though they
think they ought to be given this
opportunity to defend the Admins
tration of which they are a part;
but il is believed he will not allow
the Bryan officials to go on drawing
their salaries while they are attack
ing his Administration and endeav-
oring to elect the ticket to which it
is opposed.
Some of the Bryan officials are
now trying to turn themselves into
martyrs, announcing that they will
not resign even il they are asked to,
feeling that they have done nothing
for which they ought to forfeit their
places, and that the President must
remove them il he is dissatisfied
with their course. Philadelphia
