what 1o to 1 Has Never Dome.

1t has never kept gold and silver at a
parity.
1t has never once given us, under free
coinage, practical bimetallism-that is,
the concurrent circulation of gold and
silver.
The ratio of 16 to / was adopted in
1884. 1t represented the then CONNER
Bial ratio, the market values Of the two
metals.
In the 40 years following the adoption
of this ratio and up to 1874 there were
coined less than 100000 silver dol
lars, or not SO many by 800, 900 as were
coined from Jan. l to July l in this
year.
And never during the whole period
did gold and silver circulate freely to-
gether as equal money What reason has
Mr.. Bryan for his firm conviction
that they will do so now under free
coinage, when the difference in the COM
mercial ratio is far greater than at any
sine during the period from 1884 to
1873?

On Wheat, Corn and Oats Alone There *

ON Wheat, Corn and Oats Alone There Ks
175,Oo0,00O Advance.
The Chicago Times Herald figures out
the advance IN some of the great staples
that has occurred since the early part
of September. 1t amounts to no less, on
three crops alone-wheat, corn and oats
than $l75, 900, 600. Wheat alone has
gone up from 80 3-S cents on September
10, to 20 rs cents on October 1911 1-2
cents. Estimating the wheat crop at
$50, 900, 900 bushels, here would be an
advance of over SOL 100000. Corn has
advanced cents, and on crop of ,000,-
900, 900 bushels this means an advance
of 500, 1000, 900. All this time the young
editor, who knows no more about mar
kets than he does about economies, has
been telling the farmers that without
free silver they must expect nothing but
lower and lower prices. There is not
farmer who has read weekly paper
but is laughing at this boy from the
Platte.

SENATOR CAMDEN'S
MANY REASON

The Democratic party has always re-
tanned the confidence of the people when
it adhered to the principles Of its found
ers, and it has always lost when it de
parted from these principles and adopt
ed false issues for expediency's sake for
temporary success. In my Judgment
silver viii be defeated and the issues
pass away as did the greenbacxs and the
fiat money issues and the party viii
come back to the old land marks Of
Democracy and sound money and
those who stand by the ship now win
sooner or later find themselves in line
with the principles of the old Demo-
cratic party, which has oft gone down
in defeat, but has always come up again
strong in the confidence Of the people
when it discarded false issues and stood
as the exponent of the great principles
of its founders.

convictions in the present canvass know
ing am differing from many Democrats
who are as sincere in their convictions

your friends were pulling down the
roof from over their heads, don't you
think you would feel inclined to ask
them to hold on, and have parley be-
ore completing the job? This reluct-
Ance, however, is somewhat relieved by
the fact that party fealty was held so
lightly by the nominee of the Chicago
convention, that he voted the Populist
ticket for President instead of the Dem
ocratic ticket at the last Presidential
election in 1892, and has also stated both
before and since his nomination by the
Chicago convention that he would sup
port no candidate not nominated ON
free silver platform, and in his speeches
since he has warned his audiences not
to vote for him if they did not agree
with the Chicago platform, for if elect
ed, he would carry out every word and
letter of that platform. | do not be-
heye III that platform, which is all Pop
ulist except the headlines, nor in the
