WHAT advocates of sound money
predicted early in the campaign would
take place, is already an assured fact
Gold is now wholly out of circulation
The currency Of the country has been
reduced fully S500,000,000 by the fear
of free coinage, and there is an actual
money famine. The possibility of a
cheap dollar has already inflicted this
great injury on the business interests
of the country. One may we'll ask if
mere doubt can do this evil, how far
will the certainty of a debased cur
rency go in still further increasing de-
preston?
Here is one fact to which people
can look when questioning what the
effect Of free coinage of silver will be.
1t is not theory; it is a cold fact. OF
course 1t will be said that Wall street
is getting a corner on gold" and that
the purpose is to force the govern
ment to issue more bonds. That is so
much nonsense. Every one knows
that gold is boarded generally and
Wall street can do much better with
its money than by investing it in bonds
bearing low rate of interest. The
only time that bonds have been issued
since the war except for refunding
purposes, was when the panic caused
by the fear that more silver was being
coined than could be absorbed by the
business of the country, depleted the
national treasury of its gold.
Greenbacks are likewise going out
of circulation and are being presented
for redemption. The sub treasury at
San francisco lately redeemed $4,000
000.of greenbacks Here is another
contraction of the currency going on
because of fear of free coinage of sill
YER Does it teach any lesson.

IL 10 HuiUc ldlu JudU dlIuOSI eSt TS
one has now made up his mind as to how
he shall vote at the coming election. It
Is unfortunate that question fraught
with such tremendous import to the
people should be decided upon such
limited knowledge as it is possible to
gain of 1t in few months.
We are asked to change system
which has grown up IL harmony with
the progress of the world. The eSreri-
ence OF centuries is to be set aside in de-
ference to the action of a convention. 1t
is fearful risk to take. 1t seems i'm
possible that men urge it in view OF the
Jcalamities it is almost certain to invite
No party victory can make amends for
public distress. The possibility of harm
coming to the business interests of the
country through change of policy
should make people hesitate long and re-
fleet seriously before voting for the
change. But when the facts of history
show that disaster is almost sure 10 fol-
low; when the best opinion of men com
petent to judge is to the effect that a
change cannot fail to affect business IN
jurlousy, it seems fatuitous to rush
headlong into the threatened danger.
1t is not q question of the election or
defeat of Mr.. Bryan. A mans personal
success is but a small matter when taken
in connection with a question affecting
the business life of the nation. We, the
ambition when our own interests are at
stake. 1t is how the change will affect
the country, not which man will be sue
cessful which should govern our conduct
IN the election.
If panic should come because of a
good prospect of a change in our none
Certainly those who brought it about by
voting that it should take place. The
people should look closely to what is pur-
posed to be done and not have their at
tention diverted TO other things hav-
Ing no connection with what is IN issue.
They are told that prices are to be raised.
Will the person who believes this find
reason satisfactory to himself why there
will be an advance in prices by the free
coinage of silver? Restoring good times
is altogether too indefinite reason, and
this needs explanation Just AS much as
does the advance in prices. The danger
is in jumping at conclusions or accepting
opinions which do not come through
calm and serious reflection.
Every one knows when lie Is free from
political excitement, that the only way
to restore good times is to act in accord
which time and experience have appr0v-
ed. We have been departing from these
principles the three years last past and |
We are suffering because of it. Our safe |
ty depends upon returning to these |
principles as speedily as possible 1t |
will be an act of folly to separate still |
further FROM these principles, simply be- |
cause we are told to do SO by people
having al interested motive. 1t Is evil |
dent to every one that the owners OF
gold and silver mines will be benefited |
by the free coinage of silver, these TO a
legal tende- for debts. That is no good |
reason why those not having silver bul
lion should aid those who have, in max
ing fortune at the expense OF the pub
lie.

EVERYTHING seems to be going against

Georgia. To their credit, be 1t said, they
are standing by him, Watson wanted to
get off the Kansas ticket, but tie supreme
court would not have it SC. He tried to
get on other tickets. that IS his electors,
and this powers which manage the affairs
OF men politically, wouldn't have it. Now
it transplres that his letter Of acceptance
was held by the postmaster because there
was not postage enough on it. Butler
the chairman OF the populist national
committee refuses to publish Toms letter
of acceptance. Poor fellow; his cup is
