THE SECRET OF OPPOSITION TO
BRYAN ~

There is a notion, industriousN
spread by the gold papers, that the
real reason the combined banks of
New York are opposed to Bryan is be-
cause he advocates the free coinage OF
silver. There is some truth in that,
but it is not the whole truth. These
bankers are opposed to free coinage
because it takes away their control OF
the money and stops the appreciation
of their dollars. But there is another
reason. In 1898 when the Clearing
House issued certificates, the ablest
lawyers in the country, who were not
in the employ of the bankers, gave it
as their opinion that the banks were
liable to the ten per cent tax. Bryan
was in the House. He took the ground
that the banks were liable. More clear
ing house certificates are being issued,
and the banks know Bryan would
make them pay the tax. They know
that Mckinley would follow the poll
CIV of Cleveland, and that is one rea-
son why they are Smelling out to help
buy the country for him.

crowds about the wharf as the bow of
the big steamship came near the land
ing place of the American Line.
AN IMMENSE CROWD PRESENT.
The Chinese party was received at
the pier by an immense crowd of peo-
pie. which was with difficulty kept
back from the approaches by a large
force of police. The Chinese standard
was hauled down from the American
Line steamer at 1850 p. m, as the
Chinese Ambassador landed on the
wharf and entered the carriages in at
tendance.
The first carriage contained the Am
bassador and General Ruger and in
the next were Tao-Tai-Li, Mai. Won
Hanneken and a member of the staff
of Gen. Ruger. In the third carriage
was Lord Ii, and his wife Lop-Feng-
Luh. and another staff officer. After
them came carriages, containing the
Chinese minister and the Chinese Con-
sui and their suites, accompanied by
staff officers.
The procession left the pier headed
by a troop of the Sixtieth cavalry and
having another troop of the same regi-
ment i'm its rear. The whole was pre-
coded by a detachment of mounted
police and il moved away amid loud
cheers.
The route was to West street and
bowling Green, up Broadway to
Fourth street, thence through Wash
ington Square and mp Fifth Avenue
TO the Waldorf. The route of the pro-
cession was guarded by police and
densely packed with spectators. A
quantity of bunting was displayed ON
all sides and among it the Chinese
standard was continuously seen.

A MASSACHUSETTS, OPINION.

There is no doubt that there are men
on both sides of the money question
who use extreme language. This ought
not so to be. But for Incorporate ut
terances commend us to this by DR..
Everett, of Massachusetts:
1--WE paid in solid money $16,000,-
GOO for the territory we took from
Mexico. If Mexico will give us
back SIS, 000,0 900, even in silver, and
will take those States back again,
we will not cry very much"
The New Englanders were willing
enough to admit States with popula-
tons less than Wake county, but when
these States refuse longer to accept
New England dictation, DR.. Everett
wants to sell them back to Mexico
"even in silver" But these States will
he here to worry DR.. Everett and the
New England gold men for many
years to come There is no power to
sell. even if the States would consent
TO be sold.

WHAT MAKES THE MONEY RING
MAD.

1t is not so much because the people
favor the free coinage of silver that a
certain coterie get black in the face.
1t is because they presume at all to
understand or settle financial ques-
tions. THE people do not know any
thing about the money question. They
ought to leave it to bankers" is fire.
quent assertion made by the gold men.
This idea was brought out clearly in
an editorial in the Springfield Republi-
can, gold paper. The New York cor
respondent of the Chicago Times Her
aid wrote:
Never before in the history of
the world has an intelligent peo-
pie taken up the study of the
! economic question as the Ameri-
/ can people have taken UP the silver
Is question.
! The Republican, quoting the
paragraph, adds: True, and
further it may be said that never
before has people, not even our
own, had such a question TO de-
eide. Hitherto, the people have
had such questions decided for
them by few persons in power,
as was the case when silver was de
monetized in the United States in
1878. There was no general pub
lie discussion outside of Congress
when that step was taken. The
people had nothing to say about
it. Now they are appealed to for
the first time as court of last re-
sort: hence this eagerness to un-
derstand the case"
This is very true. The money ring
resents the claim of the people to de-
eide upon financial measures. They
know that if once the people obtain
that power, taken from them during
the war, the money ring will never OBJ
tain the exclusive power of debating
the financial policy. There's the rub!

\ Republican Who Supports Bryan
Proposes Some Novel Bets.
Nolesyille, Aug. 2S.--The Hon. Jas.
l.. Evans, of this city, for four years
a Congressman, a lifelong Republican,
has come out for free silver. Mr.. Evans
has been engaged in the grain business
in Noblesville for ten yeaEs, and has
always voted the Republican ticket
but ne says ne will give Bryan his cor
dial support in the present campaign.
He mas the following unique offer post
ed in the office of his great elevator:
Il viii contract to buy all the No.
wheat you have raised in 1896 at go
cents, providing Bryan is elected, and
with him a free coinage Congress, or
will sell you all the No. 2 wheat you
want at 50 cents per bushel. providing
Mckinley is elected
In an interview to-day, Mr.. Evans
said:
II viii make money on either prop
osit;on. If Bryan and a free coinage
Congress are elected, wheat will go
above 10 cents If Mckinley is elected
and the gold standard is continued, |
can buy n for less than 50 cents.
Among other things he added:
When n Congress | served on the
Committee of Coinage, Weights and
Measures, and / think | learned just
what free coinage of gold and silver
means. The experience of years since
then has only strengthened my con-
victions. Free coinage is the only hope
for our farmer friends. We cannot
have prosperity on constantly falling
prices. There must be a restoration
OF the prices of the products of labor
before we can hope for revival of
business and a return of prosperity.

Evans has taught him that labor is the
basis of all prosperity, and whenever

DONE IN THE DARK.
Englishmen in 1874 Knew What we
Did Not Then.

(Gen. A. j. Warner, of Ohio, in a
recent speech at Bryan meeting in
Pittsburgh
| heard of the decentralization Lon
don in 1874, a year after the crime OF
1873. In conversation with number
of men, one of whom was afterward
member of Gladstone's cabinet, the
subject of American finances was
preached, and | said: I'VE will get
over our troubles and resume specie
payment easier than did England after
her Napoleonic wars.
The said: 'How SOP
/ replied: "Our silver mines will help
u.s."
Their reply astonished me. 1t was:
''You have demonetized silver"
smiled at that and sad: "We would
not be fools enough to do that" But
one of them said: There is no ms axe
about it. Your last Congress- demone-
tiled silver. / wonder if your people
understan that act? 1t was something
wonderful to demonetize silver, of
which your country is great pro-
Queer before your war debt was paid"
When I came back to New York ]
could find no one who knew anything
about it but a few bankers. / had to
send to Washington to get the bills
before / could understand it.
We then began to pay our debts by
destroying half the money in which it
was payable. Ex-Speaker Reed in a
speech a few days ago said that the
bill was passed after a discussion, but
| know and all know who remember
those times that the bill was passed
without discussion under a suspen-
sion of the rules. There was a discus
sion of immaterial matters connected
with the working of the mints, but
nothing said in debate of the demone-
cation of silver.
