ST. LOUIS, June 10.-The very seri-
Gus business of selecting candidate
for the highest office within the gift of
10,O0O,OOO of people is practically con-
cluded. What follows will be the mere
official recording of the votes and the
shouting, and the distinguished men
who entered against the Ohio man of
destiny will be forced to accept the
small satisfaction of honorable men
ton" on the first ballot.
All this is so apparent that no one
risks even doubt of it. Friends of the
minority candidates are whistling
through the graveyard of impending
defeat, and hoping that something
may happen" Something has hap
pened, but not to the liking of the
minority. 1t has transpired that the
Mckinley contested delegates will be

sist in the temporary organization.
First possession will mean a title in
fee to these delegates after the Gre
dentials Committee has reported and
the permanent organization is effected.

State headquarters that was SO strong
ly impregnated with silver yesterday
has undergone change. 1t is not diff
cult to analyze this transmutation of

THE THIRD TICK

Chicago Record; The suggestion that
Secretary ]. Sterling Morton Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture might become the gold
democrats candidate for the presidency has
this in its favor that Mr.. Morton comes
from a state which can hardly be accused of
being under the influence of Wall street.
All the people of Nebraska are not for free
silver any more than all the people of New
York are for gold, and Mr.. Morton, 1t is to
be supposed, would catch some of the gold
element of the west while securing that of
a considerable portion of the south.
Globe-Democrat: A powerful element Of
the democracy rejects the Bryan ticket, but
only a small part of them apparently are
ready to take the most effective course to
defeat that ticket-that Is, to vote for Nc
kinley. The object of a sound money demo-
cratic nomination is to keep the remainder
of that element from drifting back to Bryan.
" = Senator John NJ. Palmer would
poll more votes in this quarter than any
other man whom the coming convention
could name. His nomination would make
the canvass in this region more picturesque
and exciting than any which has been waged
since 1860. Palmer Is clearly the man for
the emergency.
Chicago Post: Between Bryan, the popo-
crat; Morton, the sound money democrat,
and Bentley, the nominee of the narrow
gauge prohibitionists, Nebraska has more
than its share of presidential candidates.

4 FEW QUESTIONS ANSHEREn.


CENTRAL CITY, Neb., Aug. Ito the
Editor of The Bee: A man residing in this
county yves quite a sum of money, which
when paid must be paid "in gold" He says
that if free silver is not adopted in this
country he will be ruined. To me it looks
as though that man would want the present
gold standard maintained instead OF 16 to 1,
for If free silver is enacted would not gold
be at a big premium, and wouldn't he have
SO much more to pay in consequence?
c. SCOTT.
Your conclusions are sound. Any man
who has signed a note payable in gold
will be compelled to pay the premium
over silver in case free coinage carries.
The amount of the premium of course
may range all the way from 10 to 30
per cent and possibly higher.
COUNCIL BLUFFS. Ia, July 31.-To the
Editor of The Bee: Was not the 4.5OO 900
ounces of silver, which the secretary of the
treasury was authorized to purchase monthly
by the act of 1878, more than the output
Of the mines of the. United States at that
time?
Did silver appreciate in value in conse-
quence Of that act, and il so, to what ex-
tent?
Gould you give the price paid by the secre-
tary from rs to '93, and was it paid for in
gold? G. B..
To the first question our answer is,
Yes. The Sherman law authorized the
purchase of 54,000,000 ounces of silver
by the secretary of the treasury. The
silver product of the Unitel States FOX
1889, the year preceding the passage of
the act, was 50,000,00O ounces. For
1890 the output was 54.5OO.n00 ounces.
For 1891 it was 5S,330,00O ounces.
For 1892 it was 63,5OO,0 900 ounces and
for 1893, 60,0O0,0O0 ounces. The law
was repealed in 1893 and in 1894 the
product decreased to $4,000, 900 ounces,
and for the year 1895 to 46,0O0,0 900
ounces.
Second. The price of silver went
up from $1.00 to S1.16 per ounce i'm
mediately after the passage of the Sher-
man law and for one single day reached
$1.21 per ounce. Then it gradually fell
so that by 1891 it was 9S cents an ounce
and in 1899, S7k cents an ounce and in
1893, rs cents an ounce.
Third. The bullion purchased by the
secretary of the treasury from 1878 to
1893 was bought at the prevailing
market price and was paid for in gold
or its equivalent.
OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 1, 1S96.-To the Edi-
tor of The Bee: VIII you kindly advise
me how the issuance of government bonds
to maintain the gold reserve could have been
G. W.. ANDERSON.
The issue of bonds to maintain the
gold reserve could have been avoided
by providing a revenue sufficient to
meet all expenses of the government.
or, in other words, by a tariff that
would yield enough money to run the
government without going into debt.

INDUSTRIAL GERMANY.

A writer on the industrial condition
Of Germany and the causes which have
contributed to its development, points
out some of the facts which are of in
terest to the American people at this
time. He says that the industrial re-
vival of Germany has been brought
about under a combination of the pro-
lection and reciprocity policies. In
1879 Bismarck substituted protection
for free trade and his successors have
had recourse to methods of commercial
diplomacy analogous to those advocated
and applied by Secretary Blaine under
the Harrison administration. The first
ment Of British manufacturers in the
German markets. Before the in
auguration of that policy it was
COMMON to see everywhere in
the shop windows of Germany
the announcement, English goods sold
here" but such n sign is rarely seen
now. Moreover, the German manu-
facturers have invaded the English
market as well as other foreign markets
and aided by the enterprise and com
mercial intelligence of the merchants
have rapidly enlarged their export
trade. Thus protection converted a
stagnant industrial empire into an
active and formidable competitor with
Great Britain in the markets Of the
world. 1t Is one of the greatest fruits
of the comprehensive craftsmanship of
Bismarck.
Germany also has a system of COM
mercial treaties which are in principle
essentially like the reciprocity of Blaine
and Harrison. This writer observes
that the commercial agreement made
in 1891 between Germany and the
United States was one of the reel
procity treaties negotiated under the
tariff act of 1890 and 1t also fitted in
tons which Germany had negotiated
with Austria-H Hungary, Italy and other
European countries. BY virtue of that
agreement the German market was
opened to our meat products and un-
doubtedly would be still open, together
with other European markets, had that
agreement not been abrogated by the
legislation of 1894. The policy of
reciprocity has been extended by Ger
many, instead of being contracted. since
the suspension of the agreement with
the United States and she has found it
of great advantage. The testimony is
that 1t has given a great impulse to
her foreign trade, her exports of some
manufactures having doubled and
trebled under the operation of
this policy. 1t was necessary,
of course, for Germany to make
concessions and this has caused |
complaint from agrarian sources, but
so great have been the benefits of the
reciprocity policy that the general senti.

A parallel Is drawn between the re-
cent experiences of Germany and the
United Suites. 1t is observed that
four years ago both countries were fol-
lowing essentially the same economic
policies ana each was prospecting. Each
was protecting the home market against
foreign competition, each was develop

was adopting practical methods of COM

practice, has wisely adhered to it, while
we, needless of what we had ourselves
taught and unmindful of the great re-
achieved under protection, most
foolishly and rashly attacked that pol
ley and started upon a return to the
every experiment with which
had proved disastrous. Shall we not

GOOD COuNSEL TO RANKERS.

President Cannon of the New York

| association, CAV some advice to bank
ers in their relations to borrowers
which is of general application. Pro-
pounding the question, "Is it not true
that a large number of bankers have,
perhaps unconsciously, contributed to
bring about the present dissatisfaction
of the borrowing claSs?" he said that
too frequently when a tradesman or n
farmer goes to his banker to secure a
loan he is met with a refusal on the
ground that there is Il scarcity of
money, or he is informed that because of
the scarcity of money he must pay a
high ate of interest. Mr.. Cannon
thought this poor policy to pursue, es-
pecially if money is not scarce. The
banker should rather carefully study
the conditions that surround his GUS
toners and when refusing advances
should frankly and honestly give his
reasons for so doing. In other words.

Indianapolis News So, much as one might
like TO see Jameson's punishment some little

that II he had been successful he would not

HAS THE BrrCLE COME no sTAr2

HAS THE BICYCLE COME TO STATp
The evolution of the bicycle has been
one of the phenomenal events of the
last decade of the nineteenth century.
Within five short years the bicycle has
come into general use not merely in all
civilized countries, but in countries that
have scarcely awakened from the sleep
of ages. The advent of the bicycle has
almost revolutionized human intercourse
on the entire globe. Millions of the two
wheeled vehicles have been built and
sold to people of both sexes, all ages
and all classes. The bicycle craze has
seized the wives and daughters of mil
~lionaircs as we'll as it has the factory
girl and shop clerk.
But will the craze be permanent? Has
the bicycle come to stay? Will the nov
city wear off and will the bicycle be dis
carded by the multitude that now
makes use of it for rapid and cheap
transit? At this stage predictions
might be regarded as p~resumptuous.
And yet we see in the dim distance Il
more than probable subsistence of the
bicycle in its present form. The intro
duction of the electric motor carriage
will sooner or later play an important
part in conveyance with less danger to
life and limb and no injury to health.
1t is now an established fact that a
large percentage of debility requiring
medical treatment is due to over exer-
ton in bicycling. This is especially
true as to women whose nervous sys-
TENS are Overstrained and whose en-
durance is oyertaXed. When the bicycle
has ceased 10 be a fad, it will ceased
to be used by those who are not obliged
to use it as aimatter OF convenience
or economy. That class constitutes Il
very large percentage of the bicyclers.
1t is also more thar likely that new
mechanical devices will in due time SUI
persede the present foot-propelled
double-wheel just as the double-wheel
superseded the more clumsy and heavier
built vehicles. For the present, how
ever, there is no Immediate danger to |
manufacturers or dealers except from
their own ruinous competition.
