Mr.. MiIIiken Rendering Untring and Eli.
cient Service.

Hon. Seth l.. Milliken was in the
city Thursday and the Journal enjoyed
the pleasure of a call from him He is
right in the midst of the campaign,
He expressed himself as greatly pleased
with the outlook. He finds the voters
reading and thinking, which is the very
best assurance that they will vote for
sound money, maintenance of national
and private credit and to open the mills
To American workmen rather than to
open the minis to the bullion of the
Silver Trust. Wherever Mr. Milliken
has spoken he has found large and en-
thusiastic audiences and all the condi-
tons that make for an overwhelming
victory September IA. 1t is fortunate
that the Republicans of Maine have
such speakers as Mr.. Milliken in this
campaign. His thorough knowledge of
the subjects under discussion and well
known ability to discuss them in a
way that renders them clear to the
minds of his hearers and in a manner
that carries conviction, ensures him
large and attentive audiences. More
over he is interchangeable in the work
and wherever there is need that the
truth be spoken there Mr. Miliken is
willing to go.

A Few Questions.

IF silver, comes to this country mn
der free coinage it will be at the invi-
tation Of someone in this country who
viii give something in exchange for II"
w. J. Bryan in his New York Speech
Evidently Mr.. Bryan's purpose in say
ing this was to create the impression
that foreign owners of silver would
have to buy something of our producers
in order to send their bullion into this
country for coinage. We would like to
ask Mr.. Bryan what there Is to hinder
foreign owners of silver bullion bring
ing their silver into the country free
of duty, carrying it to the mint and
there having it coined into American
dollars at the expense of the govern
ment and using it to pay the Wilson
law duties on the increased amount of
foreign goods sent into this country.
And while he is about it we would like
to know what is to hinder just this
process being carried out if the silver
in an American dollar can be bought
in London for fifty cents; and in such
an event, which to us seems unayoid-
able, if the duty would not be cut down
one-half of what it now is Mr.. Bryan
might then tell us how the country
could stand having it's duties thus cut
in two if the wages of American work.
ingmen are not also cut in two.

A Bryan Blunder.

"A gold standard encourages the
boarding of money because money is
rising" For the last % years
legislation has been creating an addi-
tional demand for gold. and this law
created demand has resulted in in
creasinG the purchasing power of each
ounce of gold" So said William ].
Bryan in his New York speech and
then proceeded to squarcly contradict
himself in these words: 1--WE contend
that free and unlimited coinage by the
United States alone will raise the bull
lion value of silver to its coinage value.
and thus make silver bullion worth
$i.29 per ounce in gold throughout the
world" 1t would be difficult for can
didate for fence viewer to make a more
absurd proposition than the above.
