not merely "rcplenish" it with inferior

out the good dollars already'there.
The free coinage of silver dollarswill
drive out the gold dollars and will re-
duce by one-half the purchasing power

value of the latter will drop from about
$1,000, 100000 20 S6,00O0oO. The SG0O,-

IL means that artificial p,ccs are op-
posed TO the general welfare. If IL
means anything. IL means that competi-
ton should be allowed free play, SO that

Yet the chief burden OF Bryan's cry
is that we pay too little for the prod
ucts of trusts and monopolics." We
do not pay the foreign manufactures

A Tailor Who Was Taught Lesson in
Regard TO Truthfulness.
IL is very difficult even Tor a dealer IN
cheap clothing TO get the better OF Pat,
as the following story, told by London
journal, well illustrates.
Pat was witty lrshman, who had
Just arrived in London from the Emer-
aid Isle. He was aimlessly wandering
about the town, when he perceived
suit of clothes at a shop door inscribed:
This superior suit for half-prce." So
lat walked in and inquired the price.
Just 10 shillings, sir, replied the
shopman.
"Bcgorra, that's chape enough" said
Pat. III take it,"
When the parcel was tied up he PUT
il under his arm, and laying down eight
shillings on the counter was gong out
at the door. when the shopkeeper inter-
cepted him and demanded another eight
shillings
Didn't you say, you spalpeen, that
the price of the suit was 10 shiilings,
and sure haven't given you the half OF
il? And by this and by that, / won't
give up my borgain!"
A scufile then ensued. and Pat was
taken 10 the police court, where he
pleaded his cause so ably that the
magistrate dismissed the complaint and
advised the tailor never again TO ticket
his goods with f-prioe!"-Harper'

enter INTO an agreement with ours for
the purpose of doing what no one ma

nis Unfonnded Charges Against tas To-
publican Party.

In all OF his speeches. Mr.. Bryan dwells
upon the alleged Inconsistency OF the
republicans in declaring for the main
tenance OF the gold standard and at the
same time favoring an international ar
rangement for the larger use of silver.
IF the gold standard is good thing"
ne asks, day after day, why do they
want foreign nations 10 help us let 60
of it?" This bit of sophistry is on par
with the rest OF his so-called arguments
against "sound money" and safe
standard OF value. As a matter of fact,
the republicans are not looking for "a
way to get rid of the gold standard.
They say in their platform: I'VE are
opposed 10 the free coinage of silver, ex-
cept by international agreement with
the leading commercial nations of the
earth, which agreement we pledge our.
selves TO promote" This fact does not
mean that they prefer a double stand
ard, or an alternating standard, but only
that they believe our government should
cooperate with others. whenever such
a thing is possible. for the buying and
coming OF the worlds output of silver
under such conditions as shall not en-
danger the permanency of the gold
standard. That is the kind of bmetall-
ism which they are pledged to promote,
and not the kind that would abolish the
gold standard.
There is no inconsistency in such an
attitude, and no qualification of the dec.
laraton for the maintenance OF the pres
ent standard The republican party is
not the enemy Of silver; it has put more
of that metal in use as money than any
other party in our history. If all the
silver in existence could be coined to-
morrow and kept on parity with gold
the republicans would be glad 70 see IL
done. But they know that the condi
tons are now such that a step Of that
sort would destroy the 100-cent standard
and put the country on a 53-cent basis,
with disastrous consequences TO all
classes. Therefore, they are opposed to
free coinage, as they say, except by In
tcrnational agreement" or, in other
words. under conditions giving assur
ance OF exemption from the evils of de.

THE SUPPLY OF CURRENCY.
Facts which show mr. Bryan to $50 on
His Base.


Bryan asserts that ''when the gov
eminent prohibits the making of a dol
lar by an individual. then the govern
ment assumes the solemn duty OF Great
ing enough dollars for the people to do
business with" This sage uttcrance
was applauded.
Is this meant as an insinuntion that
the government has been negligent in
the creation of dollars? II so, il is un-
warranted. The government has been
SO active in the work Of creation that H.
has produced 425,000000 silver dollars,
$4,000, 900 greenback dollars and 49,
100000 Sherman note dollars. This is
outside of the gold dollars which have
been coined and of the S212, 00O. 900 In
national bank notes
There are IN circulation 600. 100000
dollars of different kinds, each bearing
the stamp of the government. That does
not look os IL It had been Eeglectful Of
its duty and had failed to give the peo-
pie dollars enough ito do business
with" There were dollars enough TO
do business with in the prosperous days
of 1s0O-92, when there were fewer than
now. There are more than enough to
do business with now. when so many
men are driven out Of business by the
free silver agitation.
There is no scarcity OF dollars, but
there is a scarcity of confidence. There
is lack of the courage TO use dollars
so as TO make profit out Of them. New
ertheless Bryan clamors for more dol
lars Sixteen hundred million OF them
are not enough for him.
He demands free coinage in order ito
replenish the currency OF the nation"
IL needs no replenishing. There is az
this moment more currency than is
needed. and yet this financial quacll pro-
poses to add more. He demands that
every man who has so cents worth OF
silver shall be allowed 20 have a dollar
made out of it, which he will put in cir
culation.
But the dollars with which this pro-
posed work OF "replenishing" is TO be
carried on will be bogus dollars. They
will be worth only half dollar apiece.
Their injection into the circulation will

A Vote for Bryan.

The difference between the goldbug
and the silyerite in contemplating the
certain upheaval Is that while the
former claims it to be unnecessary and
uncompcnAted disaster, the silver lend
ers insist that panic would only be a
necessary evil, that IL would "serye the
goldbug right" and that the good to
the country to come from the adoption
Of the silver standard would be so great
as TO make up for the wreck OF our pres
ent commercial and financial structure
and the cosequent long paralysis OF
trade. The present depression Of values,
cancellation OF orders, and unseason-
able stagnation OF business leave, un-
happily. no room for doubt as to the
accuracy OF the general forecast Of the
result of silver success in November. So
the question arises: Are you willing,
