MORE or FIR. BRYAN'S PARTY DOC
TRINES.

On the Goth Of last February an editorial
article justfying boiling appeared in
the Omaha World-Herald of which Mr..
William Jennings Bryan was the editor.
and the New York Evening Post says
the article was written by him. In that
article whicn the Post declares 10 be
"a remarkable clear and convincing de-
tense OF boiling the writer argues that
party differences upon minor matters were
OF small Importance. but that differences
OF opinion upon questions which are for
the time being paramount always have.
always will and always ought to destroy
party harmony" lie added that the hnan-
ciai question was a paramount question,
and then he said:
"Can a National Convention harmonic
the discOrdant elements OF the Democratic
party? Impossible. Suppose the advocates
OF bimeiallism control the National Con-
vention and nominate free silver candi-
date upon a free coinage platform, will
Cleveland. Carlisle. Olney. Morton. et
al. support the ticket? or course not.
They say that the free coinage OF silver
means individual dishonesty commercial
disaster. and national dshonOr and II
they believe what they say. they ought
not 20 support the ticket because their
duty 10 the country is higher than their
duty 10 any party organization"
We don't know what grounds the Even
ing Post has for saying Mr. Bryan wrote
this article. but the probabilities
certainly point towards his being
the author OF II. He was the
editorial writer OF the paper when
30 appeared. and IL certainly express
es sentiments trat are in accord with
his wcll-known opinions. We have not
the slightest doubt. therefore, that he
wrote it. and upon his doctrines we do
not see how Democrat can feel HIM
self bound BY the action of the Chicago
Convention.

me letter from Elder l.. A. Cutler
which we published in Sundays Times,
IS one wnicn should attract the general
attention Of the clergy Of this State. FL
der Cutler said what became the cloth
when he wrote:
When The Times unearthed the ras-
cality. and exposed the crlnse OF lhe

cinct it did a good work, and deserves
the thanks OF every honest voter in every

ton. Tor their party. l have the direct
testimony. Knowing this and believing
that many were guilty of violating both
the law OF man and the law of God,
have not hosltated to speak from the pull
pit on this subjec.. and TO characterize
such conduct as it deserved.
Can Christian men engage in UNI
lawful. dishonest. and disgraeeful acts
for the sake OF their political parties?
Emphatcally. NO, Let bribery continue.
let men conduct their canvass with lille
gal and unworthy methods let them buy
votes and corrupt the morals OF the peo-
pie with money and whisky, and the Gov
eminent will soon be gone: good society

no man be guilty of these acts and call
himself n Christian. Let not his voice
be heard in public prayer untl he re-
pents. Let min not hold an official posi-
ton I'm the Church. Let him go out Of the
Church entirely until ne resolves TO lead
a Christian life.
Al this is as true as anything that
ever fell from the lips Of man. Unless
II is TO be understood in Virginia that
officers Of election who stun the ballot
boxes are 20 be held in the same odiurn

PRICE OF SILVER IN LONDON AND
>I,y YORK

We are frequently asked. why the
quoted prices OF silver In London. are
higher than TIE prices in New YORK. The
following. which we take from the New
York journal OF Commerce will explain
it:
NEW YORK. Aug. Els there not an
apparent discrepancy In Tue rates "t
silver bullion between London and NcS
York markets. or IS there 4 different
basis or standard in London? C0mDar-
ing rates. the quotation in London IL 81
pence. equal 10 g. IL cents TO 81 SIS cents
while here it is quoted at &C IL a g. cents.
ID. +. S.
Reply.-New York quotations OF silver
are based upon the pure metal. while
London quotations and based upon a
standard only .s25 fine. Therefore. II the
price of pure silver was the same in
both markets, The New York
quotation would be- higher IA
the proportion Of .92s 10 1000. owing
entirely to the difference in tho purity OF
the metal. or course. tho condition
Of sterling exchange on any given date
also enters into the calculation. The
following is n convenient working formu-
Ia for determining from London quota
tons the price at which buyers can be
accommodated IN this market. Multiply
the London price by the rate for sight
sterling exchange and divide the product
by 222. The quouent Is the New York
price per ounce in cents.

why a man in Alexandria should receive
onc-half as much as a man In Washing
ton gets for doing precisely the same work.
The men In Alexandra have been told
that 81 a week Is all that the Silver knight
can afford 20 pay. and times being hard
they work for that sum rather than re-
main idle. This Is unfair TO the COM
posters and TO employers In this city.
All printing may now be done In Alexan-
dria much cheaper than - can be done
here. because OF the difference In the
wages paid. Take. for instance. book
work. law reports. and other similar mat
ter from this city 10 Alexandra. and
see how the employers and employees In
Tins city will suffer. all because Senator
stewart IS paying but half the wages
other printers and publishers pay.
"But will not all the printing OH 'es At
Alexandria lie affected n the silye; Knight
is forced - pay union ratcs?"
"NO: because the Silver Kngnt IL the
only union Office I'm Alexandria
"The union will meet on the third Sun
dcy IN September. and the question Will
be definitely settled then. A committee
Of which r. c. Roberts and Shelby Smith
ore members. has been appointed 70 walt
upon Senator Stewart for the purpose
Of making a satisfactory arrangement
with him. and this committee VIII sub
nit its report when the union meets.
II n IS not satisfactory one. there VIII

Stewart has announced his decision II
is said that the Senator has threatened
~ reduce his force and put In tyoe-set-
ting machines n union rates are insisted
upon II he does that he viii have to
employ union men on the machines
It IS beyond question that dotermi-
nation 10 reduce the level OF wages Il
operating with great force in the free
silver ranks. Free silver would, OF
course. have the effect OF cutting wages
down very greatly. and one can now hear
free coners say constantly that wages
are 100 high. and that they must be
reduced. This has come 20 D. III
quiet way. one OF the most usual arcu-
ments put forward by many men who
favor free coinage. Senator Stewart
wants free silver. therefore, not only be-
cause il would benefit the silver miners Of
Nevada. but because it would enable him
to hire labor generally at the rates ne
pays for it in Alexandria.
We don't believe workingmen are going
10 be such fools as to be caught with
this bait.
