This is the demand made by the Chicago plat

This is the reply made by Major Mckinley:

Rut at least saws your silver advocate. the

both of these propositions the answer Is an en-

siderable time The immediate result would he,
on the contrary. a great contraction or currency

was increased after all the old spoons and
silver buckles and candesticks and all the
silver of other countries had been poured in
TO our minis and had flowed out again in the
form of ffty-three-cent dollars. what good would
be done? Do you suppose the Government
would distribute that money free gratis. to all
corners? Not much. You would have to work
TO earn IT. Just as you do now The only differ
encc would be that you would get your pay IN

DEPRECATED COIN DEMANDED.

Mr. Bryan is out-Bryaned by some Of the sill
yer organs OF the West. II must dissemble,
whispers the Juvenile Decamer, he stalks
upon the frost-bitten stage at Madison Square.
And he enters upon elaborate arguments TO
prove-if such a thing were possible-that free
coinage at rs to 1 would put silver at par with
gold and keep it there. Such sophisry is neces-
sary in the gold-lovng East. But the Western
press throws off even that diaphanous mask,
and admits with brutal frankness that the sill
yer dollar would not be equal in value with the
gold If It should be, the silver men would not
want it. They want 1t, they declare, because it
would be a cheaper dollar than the gold dollar.
and would drive the latter out, and establish
deprecated silver recommendation. Here is what
1.-THE Detroit Tribune one Of the foremost free
silver journals of the country. says:
1t is the contention of rational defenders OF
free coinage that ii would not raise silver to
q parity at the existing ratio and upon that
fact they base chiefly their claim that free
coinage will bring relief. We insist that free
coinage is a good thing. because under 1t the
dollar as at present expressed by 23.2 grains OF
gold metal will disappear at once and never
return to Cypress us.
After that. what need Of further argument?
The intention of the frcc-coinage party to de-
precate the currency. and to reduce this coun-
try 10 a silver standard. like that Of Mexico or
China. could not be more clearly and unmistak-
ably expressed.

THE WEST IN ATHLETICS.

The victory Of the Neel brothers, Of Chicago,
over L. ID. Wrenn and Malcolm Chace IN the
challenge match at Newport for the National
tennis championship in doubles, coupled with
the recent capture of the amateur golf champion
ship by II. T. Whigham, of the same city. empha-
sizes rather sriking'y the growing ascendancy
of the West in the purer and more fastldlous
branches of outdoor sport. The Neel brothers
are the first pair of players to carry National
tennis championship West since the annual open
contests ut Newport were established. dozen
or more years ago: K. d. Wrenn who won the
title of champion In singles in lSS, and defended
it successfully in 1884, though himself Chicago
nan, preferring to appear under Harvard colors
anu be classed. as again this year, among the
entries from the East. In amateur golf Chicago
players have easily held their against all
competitors, Charles Il. Mcdonald winning the
Havemeyer championship cup in 1890 at New
port. and II. T. Whigham capturing it again on
the Shinnecock Hills course last month.
These cumulative triumphs bear witness to a
substantial growth of athletic spirit and interest
in the Western metropolis and to a gratifying
progress in the more distinctly amateur branches
of open-air sport; and the genuneness of the
athletic revival is further demonstrated by the
rapid increase in numbers of the local lawn ten
mis- clubs. and the instant success and wide
spread popularity of both the new Onwentsia
Golf Links and the somewhat older and signally
prosperous golf clubs at Lake Forest and Whea-
ton. Chicago seems TO be experiencing the full
tide of that wave of athletic feeling which has
swept over the East. and from the East west
ward during the last ten or fifteen years. Nor
is it fanciful to say that the broadening and
healhful effects Of the new passion for outdoor
sports are already reflected in the social and
business life of the Windy City.
Eastern followers of golf and tennis will have
to look to their laur"s; for Western skill and
proficiency. If maintained on the high level
reached this year, threaten to sweep the board
clear Of future athletic championships and
