to the consumer, but as fifty sacks cannot
possibly take the grain to the consumer and be
returned before the other fifty sacks are filed
you either have your product going to waste on
the ground or the machine must be stopped to
wait for the return of the other sacks. The
machine is generally stopped in such cases.
Hence you have both machine and men idle on
account of lack Of sacks
That is exactly the case with our country now
we have greatly increased product but no pro.
portional increase of money to handle that
increased product, and hence we have stdgndtion
the machinery and men of production are idle
more or less of the time. Some people say what
is wanted is more confidence. Now what would
a farmer who was waiting for sacks to begin
thrashing think Of one of these wise" men II
he should tell him that what he wanted was not
more sacks, but more confidence. as II confidence
could take the place of sacks, or confidence
could take the place Of money.
1t has been demonstrated by the experience Of
twenty years that the free coinage Of gold and
limited coinage of silver has not kept pace with
production therefore let us give free coinage of
both gold and silver, at the old ratio, fair trial.
Free coinage of both gold and silver has been
endorsed by every political party in the country
but one, the Prohibitionsts, and It split on the
question. Therefore we may say that it is
generally conceded to be good thing tor our
country.

THE BONE OF CONTENTION.

The main difference between the two great
parties on the money question is one OF method
and not of principle. Both advocate the free
coinage of gold and silver, but the Republican
party says we must wait until we can have an
international agreement on the question while
the other parties advocate the independent
coinage OF gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to l.
Now want you to consider the chief objection
to the proposition of independent action. There
is but one objection worth considering. That is
this: They say that independent action will
give us Scent dollar and enable the debtor to
pay his debts in deprecated money" This they
call reputation. They also say the silver dol
lars will drive the gold out of the country. In
other words they do not believe that the United
States can, of herself, by the use of silver as a
money freely coined at lG to /, raise its CONNER
cial price to sl.29 an ounce, or on par with
gold.
THE UNITED STATES CAN MAINTAIN FREE COINAGE
AT 16 TO l.
l now undertake to prove that she can do this,
and lay down this principle which is historically
and scientifically true:
PRINCIPLE II.
Any nation that is the greatest producer of the pre-
cous mdais and is great enough to produce surplus
of products dbOUe her needs, equal 10 The surplus Of
the precious metals remaining in The tcord for coinage,

il as long as she has these uco conditions.
Now we claim that the United States has these
conditions and is the lonly country in the world
that has Hence the United Stdtes holds The KEY TO the

STRIKING POINTS IN BRYAN'S LET
TER OF ACCEPTANCE.

| hereby announce, with all the en-
phasis which words can express, my fixed
determination not, under any circum-
stances, to be candidate for reelection
in case this campaign results in my cleo
ton.
In Government like ours, law is but
the capitalization of the will of the peo-
pie; without it the citizen is neither
secure in the enjoyment of life and
liberty nor protected in the pursuit of
happiness.
In determining what appropriations
are necessary the interests Of those who
pay the taxes should be consulted rather
than the wishes of those who receive or
disburse public moneys.
The Government OF the United States,
when administered in the interest OF all
the people, is able to establish and main
tain its own financial policy, not only
without the aid OF any syndicate, but in
spite OF any opposition which the syndi-
Gates may exert.
To empower national banks to issue
circulating notes is to grant valuable
privilege to favored class.
The United States notes, commonly
known as greenbacks, being redeemable
in either gold or silver, at the option Of
the government, and not at the option Of
the holder, are safer and cheaper for the
people than national bank notes based
upon interest-bearing bonds.
The care OF those who have suffered in
the military and naval service of the
country is sacred duty.
u -
The interest OF the producers OF wealth
ought at all times to be considered by
those who stand in official positions.
a@@
The laboring men of the country have
expressed desire for arbitration, and
the railroads can not reasonably object
to the decisions rendered by an impartial
tribunal.
The Democratic Party is opposed to
the dumping of criminal classes upon
our shores and to the importation OF either
pauper or contract labor to compete with
American labor.
Corporations are the creatures of law,
and they must not be permitted to pass
from under the control of the power
which created them.
A permanent office-holding class is not
in harmony with our institutions.
In the presence OF this overshadowing
issue the money question: differences
of opinion upon minor questions must be
laid aside in order that there may be
united action among those who are de-
termined that progress toward univer-
sal gold standard shall be stayed and the
gold and silver standard Of the Constitu-
ton restored.

were greater than hers by SS,lO0OOO,OO0 in 1888
The q. s. is destined to become the workshop oil
the world. But China has only Sl.0S per capita
of silver and no gold for money, and India only
has 1888 per capita of silver and no gold for
money, so we think they will need all the silver
they have at home, as neither produce any silver
to amount to any thing; none is reported in the
treasury's report. Europe uses more silver than
she produces by Sl2,OOO,OOO.
The subject of ratio has bothered some people
great deal. Why coin l6 ounces OF silver to
equal one ounce of gold? We advocate l6 to l
for two reasons. First, because that is our
present legal ratio and the ratio at which all of
our silver dollars are coined. Second, because
the gold aud silver in the world available for
money is in the ratio by weight of about I6 to /.
change in production will not change the
ratio Some people have anxious fears about an
overproduction. History shows that from 1871
to 1870, period Of forty years, the quantitative
ratio or ratio by weight, was 40 of silver to of
gold and yet the commercial ratio was l515 TO /,
and from 1880 TO 1870, a period OF twenty years,
the opposite took place and great abundance
of gold was produced, so that the ratio stood
only 3-5 OF silver to one OF gold, and yet the
commercial ratio was 15H to l, showing that the
commercial ratio is not governed by production,
but by the coinage ratio when the minis are open
to the free coinage OF silver
At this last period the L. S. coined only about
81 5000 worth of silver year, because the
ratio in Europe OF l5l2 to made silver more val
liable there, than our ratio OF 16 to l made il
here, so silver was at premium here in the U.
s, and our product was nearly all exported So
the U. s. exerted very little influence on the
price OF silver, 1t being maintained principally
by the Latin Union and Spain.

A FLOOD OF SILVER.

Some people are afraid OF flood OF silver from
the nations of Europe and Asia. II they sent it
here TO buy goods we of all nations on the earth
could furnish as many dollars of goods as they
could dollars of silver, because we are the
greatest producers and manufacturers in the
world and an increase OF demand for goods
would only make us the more prosperous
Great Britain is, by far the richest nation of the
old world, and our wealth exceeded hers by
twenty billion in 1890. and our manufactures

NOT ENOUGH GOLD,

NOT ENOUGH GOLD
Inc gold standard countries have a population
OF about 5O0,0O0,0OO people, and the worlds pro-
duction OF gold last year was S203,OO0OOO. OF
this amount about $4,000 900 is used in the arts
leaving S150OOO,O00 to be divided among 500, OOO-
900 people, or about so cents per capita. So you
see plainly that the gold standard countries can
not depend on gold for a sufficient supply of
money.
FREE COINAGE OF SILVER WILL NOT DRIVE GOLD OUT
OF THEU.s.
10 the objection that the free coinage of silver
will drive out of the country and out of circula.
ton the S6OO000,00O of gold that we have. have
this to say OF the 5000 100000 of gold claimed, it
is acknowledged by the Director of the Mint,
In his report on the production of gold and sill
yer for 1888 p 49, that there are at least 1915 OO
600 OF gold coin that can not be accounted for
and as sl00,O000o0 is in the U. S. Treasury as
reserve there is left only S25 900 for the banks
and circulation Most of this is held by the
banks as reserve and will be continued to be
so held. The gold people said the same thing
about gold being driven out of the country in
1873 when the Bland act was passed. President
Hayes was urged to veto 1t, but Congress passei
1t over his Veto Instead Of gold being drien out of
NE country as had been predicted e gained by impor
tdon 100000 Of gold the first year and s7O,OOOOOO
The nert year, and 800 900 The third year. During
The toelre years that The act on the statute books I've
gained s22l 100000 Of foreign gold. There is no
reason TO believe that the reverse will take place
with free coinage of silver, but every reason to
believe that 1t will keep our gold at home. In
1894 and 1895 our excess of silver exports over
imports was over Ga million dollars at the COM
mercal price Now under free coinage OF silver,
this amount of silver would have brought nearly
double what 1t did and would have kept the
100000 OF gold that was exported, at home,
and wonld have protected the ". s. Treasury
reserve about that much, as most OF the gold
Withdrawn from the treasury is used for ex-
port.
IN CONCLUSION.
The Republican party makes no provision
whatever for an increase OF money aside from
the natural increase OF gold production. which
has been shown to be entirely inadequate.
Those who propose to vote the Republican ticket
and for the present gold standard, are voting for
lower prices, lower wages, less work and less
business, while those who vote for the free coin
age OF both gold and silver are voting for higher
prices, higher wages, more work and more bust
ness. Which of these two do You i0ont' II you
want the higher prices, more work aud more
business, vote for William Jennings Bryan.

NO DANGER OF AN oVERPRoDUClIoN.
There is no danger of an overproduction of
silver, because prices of commodities will rise in
value, and when it becomes more profitable to
raise wheat and corn and other commodities of
commerce than 1t is to mine silver and gold
people will stop mining and go into other enter
prises where they can make more money. But
let us see how much silver the L. s. would likely
be called upon to coin annually. The world
produced in 1895, s226, 100000 worth Of silver at
the ratio OF l6 to !. The coinage of the world
deducting the recoinage OF worn out pieces, was
about SlOO,OOOOC0, leaving S126,OOOOOO. OF this
amount S42, OOO 900 worth were used in the arts by
twelve countries, leaving sSiOOO,OOo From this
amount s37,5OO,OOO was exported to the Asiatic
countries, leaving balance of Si6,430,OO0 to be
used in the arts and coined by countries from
which no reports have been received. Suppose
we should coin the whole 100000 of silver.
l2OOO,O 0 dollars worth more than we produced
in 95, and coined in addition &c 100000 dollars of
gold all our product not used in the arts a total
OF sllO,OOOOOO year. At this rate 1t would take
eleven years before we would have a per CAPITA
equal to France and eight years before we would
have what we ought to have in this country
now, not counting anything for loss or increase
OF population or increase OF production
