WAS NOT A BETTING MAN.
silver Man Nearly tainted When He
Hears Grosvcno Offer.

According to o man who sat In the
Auditorium dining room and heard it
all the Democratic free-silver COM
mittee prediction department came
face to face with the original prognos-
ticator of the Mckinley boom this
morning at the breakfast table and lay
down On ten-to-one shot on Iowa.
Gen. Charles II. Grosvenor, whose
figures on McKinley's prospective
nouIiqation were the delight of the
Canton statesman's friends and the
terror of all other boOms, had just bro
ken open warm biscuit with a precis-
ion characteristic of an Ohio citizen.
Casually he remarked that he had
come from Iowa and for pent-up, over
weening enthusiasm of the spontane-
Gus combustion order he had never
seen anything to compare with Iowa's
admiration for Mckinley.
Just then E. w. Barrett Of the free
silver democratic literary bureau OBJ
served that there must be some mis-
take.
':Why, General" said he, ''You
ought to see the reports we get from
Iowa. I feel confident we will carry
the state"
''You do. Would you care to wager
on it?''
''If the offer was fair one"
"Well, as a starter, I'll bet you
$1,000 to S10o that Mckinley carries
Iowa."
Barrett looked aghast. 'EYou don't
mean ten to ono?"

''That looks ike a good bet to take.
every we'll, come up with the hum
dred.''
But Mr.. Barrett weakened before
the venerable Grosvenor and declared
he was not making any wages.

In his speech to visiting delega-
tion recently Major Mckinley again
brought out, with force and effect, his
idea that it would be better for the
country to open the mills than the
mints.
In reply to the criticism of some Of
the Bryanites that i'll saying this the
Republican candidate was putting the
cart before the horse. Mckinley said:
They seem to think that the way to
open the WOODEN mills, for example, is
to start yard stick factory. They
forget that you must make cloth be-
fore you can measure it, and that the
weaver must be employed before the
yard stick is required. They say the
yard stick is too long. I answer. that
if you make a yard stick 10 inches in
stead of 36 inches you will not increase
the output of cloth, nor it's value, or
give an additional days labor to an
American weaver. Nor will 81 cent
dollars increase our Industrial enter
prises, or add to the actual earnings of
ANYBODY, or increase the real value of
anything. 1t will wrong labor and
wreck values, and has done SO where
ever it has been used.
The above is conclusive as well as
epigrammatic, and is complete reply
to Bryan's contention that we must
have more dollars measures of valuel
before we can have more value. 1t is
the silverites that are putting the cart
before the horse.
More cloth might require more
ward sticks, . continued the Republi-
can standard bearer, ''but more yard
sticks. or shorter ones. will not create
a demand for more cloth. Nor will
short dollars from wide-opea minis
free to all of the world, increase our
factories. More factories at work will
find work for the good doll-rs now in

At first all money was weighed III

Bible was in silver, "And abraham

1t was not easy to carry round par

made.
