Conley, says this depression has fallen

Conley, says this depression has fallen
alike upon the countries that are upon
gold basis and the countries that are
upon a silver basis, hence the agita.
tion of the money question in the
United States could scarcely have been
responsible for the depressions that
have existed throughout the world.
Then what is the cause? Is it not
possible that the claim of the bimetal-
lists, the "silver looms" as they are
called, that the striking down of one
half the basic money of Germany,
France and the United States, when
they demonetized silver, is the cause
of all this widespread disaster? When
these three countries, in rapid success
sion, declared gold the only standard
by which values should be measured,
they struck down one-half the basic
money OF each country. Thus the de-
mand for gold was increased two-fold,
and all value Of property, measured in
gold, was reduced one-half, so that the
products of labor fell in price cores
ponding to the rise in the price OF the
metal in which they were measured.
Blaine, Sherman and Carlisle, years
ago, predicted this would result from
the demonetization of silver as pri-
mary money, and what they predicted
has come true; the greatest financial
panic through which the world has
ever passed has been the result.

ERIE, Pa, Aug. 27.-Notwithstand.
ing the three long addresses and hall
dozen short speeches made yester-
day, Candidate Bryan plunged into
the battle again this morning, speak
ing from the balcony of the Reed
house to 2000 people assembled in the
street and opposite park. Mr.. and
Mrs. Bryan were entertained at the
residence Of Otto Corner, a prominent
stove manufacturer, and at 1890 A. NJ.
drove to the hotel, where it was an
nounced they would hold a reception.
Bryan was escorted to the balcony
overlooking the street, where Theo-
dore P. Rynder and Rev. Frank s..
Heath had been making preliminary
speeches, and received an ovation
from the crowd, in which workingmen
seemed to be in the majority.
In this speech he touched upon the
question of patronage, declaring that
none have yet approached him with
requests for office in case of his cleo
tion, and he has made no promises.
He dwelt on the necessity of electing
a friendly congress as we'll as presi-
dent to insure the victory of free sil-
YER, and closed with an exhortation to
elect John c. Sibley to congress.
Bryan's voice was decidedly husky for
the first time since his weeks rest at
Red Hook.

are higher this year than for many
years past, despite the competition
with France, Italy and Spain. Neither
did he complete his pathetic story
about the injured farmer of Grande
Ronde valley who cannot sell his bar
ley because there is not enough duty
to prevent its Importation from Can
ada. Had he completed his sorrowful
barley story, he would have shown that
in the most prosperous year under
high protection the Grande Ronle
farmers had been able to ship fully
two train loads of barley and there
were perhaps fifty farmers in that Sec
tion partly engaged in barley raising.
What an awful big percentage is this
compared with the balance of the TO-
600, 600 people in America. He might
also have profitably shown how it was
possible for the farmers in the more
rigorous climate of Canada to raise
barley and ship it into this country
and sell it at price below the cost of
production in Grande Ronde valley.
He also might have shown wherein
the Canadian lumber men are success
full competitors for the lumber trade
of this country by admitting the fact
that they pay the same wages across
the line that are paid on this side, that
their timber costs them very nearly
the same, and that the mill men have
to import their machinery whereas our
mill men are using domestic ma
chinery. Had he gone little into de-
tail and dwelt little on facts it would
not have been necessary for him to
have shed tears over the dangers OF
our Pacific coast Industries being an.
initiated through competition with
Canada. The idea of any of our in
dustries being endangered through
with Canada has long
since-been exploded and is only re-
ferred to by such back numbers as
McComant.

An EXPLODED IDEA.

In an address before the U. s. Grant
club in East Portland the other day,
Wallace McComant drew q decidedly
gloomy picture of the lumberman, the
barley raiser and the prune grower,
all of whom he said had been ruined
by foreign competitor through the re-
moval of the tariff on their respective
products. The lumber mills are closed,
he says. by the shipping in Of lumber
from Canada. But he failed to give to
his hearers the benefit Of the fact that
not per cent Of the lumber consumed
in the United States is imported from
Canada; nor did he refer to the foreign
lumber trade of the Pacific coast or
Say anything of the millions Of feet
that are being shipped to South Amer
lea and Africa in direct competition
with the lumbermen Of the world.
Mr.. McComant also forgot to state the
facts In reference to the prune market
and let his hearers know that prunes

Bryan at syracuse.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Aug. 26-In Han
over square, at Syracuse, 5000 people
gathered to hear Bryan. He said:
"Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens:
In this land OF ours, where the govern
ment derives its just powers from the
consent of the governed, and where an
official for short time exercises any
authority by law, it is only fair that
those who are to choose by ballots
should be permitted to come in con-
tact with those who are candidates for
so high a position, and, as in this CAM
paign it is very difficult for all our peo-
pie to find necessary money, either
gold or silver, to visit the candidates,
I thought it might be worth while for
the candidate to visit the people.
Then, too, l thought it might be well
for one accused of being the candidate
of body of anarchists to show himself
in order that you may judge whether
he looks like one bent upon destroying
the government under which he lives"

AWFUL GOOD DOLLARS.

With tenacious persistency the
republican press and orators continue
to demand that we have an awful good
dollar, one tina, is big and sound, and
high priced, one that will buy sits full
weight in gold" and none.other. The
harder the dollar is to earn the better
it suits them. Senator Sherman is
emphatic in his demand for big dollar,
but in this he shows himself to be In
consistent with his tariff views. The
Spokane Review, commenting upon his
recent "great speech" thus very clearly
shows his inconsistency:
.'Mr. Sherman says he is for the
gold dollar because it cheapens
American products. He likes it be-
cause it will buy three bushels of
wheat, six bushels of corn, twelve to
fifteen pounds of cotton and wool,
nearly forty pounds of lead, and all
other commodities in proportion.
THAT dollar is the best dollar that
buys the largest quantity He there
fore believes that the dollar would be
twice as good If it bought six bushels
of wheat, twelve bushels Of corn and
thirty pounds of cotton. If Mr.. Sher-
man believes that, and he says he does,
by what peculiar mental process is he
in favor of the protective mental tariff?
The avowed purpose of the protective
mental tariff is to raise prices, and
thus make the dollar buy less food
and clothing. How can Sherman con-
sistently be for one principle to make
the dollar buy more, and the same time
support another principle to make it
buy less? Grover Cleveland at least |
has the virtue of consistency. With
Sherman, he believes that the best |
dollar is the dollar that buys the most,
and he pursues logical course when
be tries to make it buy greater guam.
