Washington Oct IS (SpeciaD.-N. A. Dunning. tho
former editor of the Populist organ and one Of the
leading members of that party, has prepared an
appeal to Populiss and defence Of Thomas f.

OF cutting loose from the Democratic alliance.

SO far as my ability extends TO rescue from the
domination Of manipulating leaders those thou
sands Of honest Populsts who arc being made un-

Mr. Dunning reviews the organization and growth
of the party and shows that at the beginning OF
this campaign it had organization IN every state
and territory, with a membership OF not less than
25MO 600 It's newspapers numbered fully lSCN. and "
had delegation in the House OF Representatives

instability of Silver.

These estimates of value show the shift
ing, tickle and unstahe character of the
silver currency in these countries. Under
such a system no one could do any business
of great consequence unless he took pains
to post himself from day to day in regard
to the bullion price Of silver. 1t would be
like keeping track Of our paper currency
before the war. The ratio in Japan is
1918 to /, and in Mexico 16h to ]. and the
fiueness is the same in both countries as
in ours. On the basis of our silver dollar
the Japanese yen ought to be worth 1912

was only 53.G cents. With US our silver dol
lar is kept on parity with our gold dollar
In Mexico and Japan their silver money is
kept on a parity with silver bullion-for
that is really their ultimate standard of
value. 1t rests on no other basis. But here
the question naturally comes up: What
has caused or brought about the great di-
vergence between the coin ratio, or value
of silver, and the commercial ratio, or value
of the same.
A plain statement or narrative Of facts
will, to large extent solve the same. In
1870 silver was legal tender, and admit
ted to free coinage in all the minis of Eu-
rope, except England, at the ratio of lok,
to 1. This almost universal free coinage
demand fixed, in the main, the price of sill
YER The commercial ratio was, at this
time, 1857, just seven-hundredths Of an
ounce differences from the coin ratio. In
1871 the German Empire, formed from
number Of separate states, each with its
own separate sy stem of coins and coinage,
having obtained a billion dollars of war
indemnity, in gold, from France, and being
anxious to establish a single, uniform sys-
tenn of money for the entire Empire,
adopted the single gold standard, sus-
r.rGad the coinage Of silver. and, fir v,
in 1878. entirely demonetized silver.
In 1873 the United States followed In the
wake of Germany, and demonetized silver.
Holland suspended the free coinage of sill

manenty in 1875. In 1875 the Scandinavian
Union, composed of Sweden, Norway and

In 1865 France, Belgium, Italy, Switzer-

the ratio of 1914 TO 1. This arrangement
remained intact until 1876, when the tide
of silver from Germany and other points
became so strong, and the fall in the price
Of silver became so great, that the Union
was compelled to suspend coinage. since

A HORRIBLE FATE.
Stranger EvapOrates Near
the Depot Sunday.

Sunday afternoon the mercury
monkeyed around the 1902 mark on
the Thermometers and the ground
around the depot was hot enough
to cook ham in 20 seconds
Nevertheless quite crowd gathered
to see the Waco express come in
When the train stopped the crowd
saw wild, crazy-looking, stranger
get off. He appeared greatly ex-
cited and when the train pulled
out he rushed over to the east side
of the tracks and jerking out n big
sheet of paper and pencil, he
looked long and intently at the
sun and began to figure. A crowd
soon gathered around to see what
he was doing.
Squire Helweg wanted to know
what was the the matter with him
and he said that the sun had
jumped the track and was coming
toward the earth at the rate of forty
billion miles second and he
wanted to find out how long it
would be before the collision.
BY this time fully fifty people
had gathered around him and the
perspiration from their faces soon
ran along the railroad tracks in a
stream a foot deep. doing consider
able damage to the track. 1t is ru-
