THE MKAT OF THE ARGUMENT,

He offers so cents worth of meat and 4
worth of Portugese 8 per cent gold bond
in exchange for silver dollar.
Our butcher says the bonds must b
good, as Portugal has been on gol
standard since 1858 (twenty years befor
the other enlightened nations of Europe
and it's national debt has only increase
100 per cent since that date. Averag
wages paid all artisans in Portugal j
II cents day.
In your former letter you told me tina
all we needed was little gold, improves
"banking facilities" and confidence"
( Portugal has a"little gold," the worl
] has had it's improved banking facilities
since 1858, aad can supply the ''conti
/ dence," 30 the bonds are certainly good
| Our home butcher says he will continu
to give SO cents worth of meat and So o
Portuguese gold bonds for an American
silver dollar after Bryan is elected. Will
you continue to give so cents worth o
meat and a Mexican dollar in exchang,
for an American silver dollar after Bryan
is electedf Yours truly.

SILVER IN INDIANA.
Cincinnati, Ohio.-The extent of the
growth of the silver sentiment in this vi
cinity, and especially in Indiana, although
the same conditions exist in this state as
in Indiana, is shown by letter received
by the Enqu uirer from W. II. Boyle, first
assistant secretary of the Indiana branch
of the Farmers Mutual Benefit Associa-
tom He says: II am certain that Bryan
and free silver will carry Indiana by from
$4,000 to 10000 majority and should
not be surprised should it 60 to 100000.
Out of the $4,000 farmers belonging to
our society there are 1881 Republicans,
20,31S Democrats, 2,lO9 Populists and 81
Prohibitionists. On the money question
they stand for silver: Republicans, 81
093; Democrats, 1871; Popu!ists, 2,1OO,
and Prohibitionists, 81; leaving just
1000 for gold."
Mr.. Boyle expresses the belief that
many of those now for gold will be won
over before November. This is the most
remarkable statement yet made in regard
to the silver strength. But is vouched
for by the secretary of an all powerful
farmers' organization.
BRYAN AT PITTsBURG.
Pittsborg, Pa.-In his address here Mr..
Bryan said: II have been more than
gratified that it was not necessary to open
