In an address delivered at the Unitarian
theological seminary of Meadville, Pa
recently Otis Skinner declared that the
clerical friends of the drama sometimes
do as much wrong as the stage S enemies
i'm insisting that the stage should be an
educator and sermonizer. Mr.. Skinner
stated that the first object OF the drama
is to amuse, elevate and inspire, through
artistic means, to take the playgoer into
an ideal land that need not be instructive
or moral. He does not believe that the
drama should be immoral, but that the
playhouse would be a failure as an insti-
tuition should it be another form of the
school house or the pulpit.
DR.. A. A. Willis, who is to lecture in
the Star course of the Young Mems Chris

Witt Talmage, d. D., himself one Of the
greatest pulpit orators of the age, after

BUTLER ISSUES A MANIFESTO.
Populist National Chairman Warmly
Commend Tom Watson.

Washington, Oct. 26.-The populist
nationa, committee, through its chair
man, Senator Butler, has issued an
official address to members of the peo-
pies party urging them Loyalty to sup
port Bryan and follow his banner
wherever it leads. The address is high
ly culogistic of Bryan as the peoples
chump.on and warmly commends Wat
son. 1t urges the peoples party not
to be discouraged by the fact that there
are two candidates for vice president
in the field marching under Bryan's
banner. 1t says there will be two
months before the election and the
casting of the votes by the electors.
and that there is surely wisdom enough
in the two parties which support
Br, an to adjust that complication sat-
is:.cto1ily to all.
1t says the peoples party brethren
need have no fear this campaign will de-
s1roy the peoples party; that its princi.
ples are right, and, therefore, immortal.
1t says that if democracy lives up to its
pledges the alliance may be continued,
but that if it does not three-fourths of
their people will march of under the
populist standard, which still has a
tremendous mission to perform. a
fervent appeal not to miss this oppor-
tunity to succor the oppressed cor
cludes the address.

UNDER FREE SILVER.
what the Eject HoaId BE u Bryan Were
R0NrHAd.

Whas the Eject Nould BE lf Bryan Were
Elected.
Let us see what the immediate effect
Of the election of Mr. Bryan would be,
% far a. our stock of money is con-
cerned. We now have in circulation, in
round numbers, 5000 ,00a, 600 in gold and
gold certificates, $450.0oO,000 in silver
and silver certificates and $500. .0O0, 900
in United States notes, national; bank
notes and other forms of paper. This
gives US circulating medium of about
81, SOC, 100000 based on gold standard,
with every dollar as good as every other
dollar and every dollar as good as a gold
dollar.
With free coinage Of silver the pur-
chasing value Of every dollar will drop
at once to the bullion value of the sill
yer in the silver dollar, that being
then the standard, just as now every
dollar stands at the bullion value OF
the gold dollar, it being the standard.
The bullion value Of silver may advance
q little for time, just as it did after the
passage of the Sherman law in 1890,
but the increased production Of silver
which such an advance would bring
about, would soon drive it down again
perhaps lower than now.
The $500, o,ooo, 900 in gold and gold Ger.
tificates would go out of circulation al
once. That would go into permanent
hiding since no one would be foolish
enough to pay debt with a gold dol
lar worth as much as two silver dol
lars, when the law gives the silver dol
lar the same legal tender power. This
would contract our circulating cur
rency by little more than one-third
Silver then being the standard of value
the purchasing power Of every dollar
and Of every paper dollar not redeem
able in gold would decline to the valu<
Of the bullion in the silver dollar. Thi,
would contract the purchasing power
Of the rest Of the currency left in cir
culation by about one-half.
Tho first effect Of Mr.. Bryan's elec
ton, therefore. would be to contrac

lar is now worth, intrinsically. about so
cents. Wheat has advanced 13 cents Q
bushel, which advance, it is estimated,
has put about s7s, 100000 into the pock-
cts of the holders of the cereal.
If the government should adopt free
silver it would put s35,oo0,00o year
into the pockets Of the 100 persons who
represent the great silver trust.
The silver trust represents over $780,
100000. That is an immense sum OF
money, and if the power of wealth is as
great as it is said to be, the silver mine
owners should be able to manipulate
the market to some degree to their own
advantage. Theirpower is concentrated,
and back of them would be the i'm
mense power of the great silver inter
ests of the world. Yet this immense
power cannot prevent the fall in the
price Of the white metal.
Wheat, however, goes up. Responsive
to that inexorable law against which no
human will or combination can prevail,
the price advances. In the ductuation
of the price of the wheat and silver, the
intelligent observer sees the whole phil.
osophy Of the operation of the laws Of
value.
It has been maintained by the advo
Gates of the Bryan school of economists
that there was indissoluble union be-
tween the prices Of silver and Of wheat.
Like Hans Breitman's party, it may be
asked, where is that union now?
In fact, every illustration used by the
Bryanites to point their morals and
adorn their tales, comes sooner or later
to be turned against them.-Albany
journal
Griggs courier., 1896-10-30

~ much for his wheat and hogs, he
will at first get the same as now. and
any further advance will be just a.
slow as the advance in wages. At the
same time, however. when he wants to
buy cloth or machinery or any other
manufactured product, he will find tho
prices marked up promptly. Tho
manufacturer may be slow in marking
up wages. but he will be prompt in
marking up the prices Of what he has
to sell. The farmer will then find
that, while he now gets so cents in gold
for his bushel of wheat, he will then get
50 cents on the silver standard, but,
when he wants to trade that SO cents at
the store, it will only go one-haH AZ far
as his present so cents goes.
In the end, after years Of ceaselesa
struggle, conditions may become 50
adjusted that the ratio between wages
and general prices will again become
equitable; but long before that will be
a fact thousands aud thousands OF
farmers will have been forced to give
up the struggle, their farms will have
been lost, and their children will won
der at the khortsightedness Of their
fathers in supporting policy which
finally wrought their ruin.
The kernel for farmers to grasp i,
the fact that prices for their products
depend upon the wages paid the wage
earning class. When free silver cuts
those wages down in purchasing powez
it cuts down the market, and thereforl
the price for farm products. While 6
deprecated currency means highe,
prices for what the farmer has to buy
it means low wages, and therefore low
prices for what he has to sell. The
fate Of the farmer and the fate of thu
wage Garner are locked up together

tural Review.

the purchasing power of our circulat-
ing medium from $1,500,000,000 as at
present, to about $50O.0oO, 900. Every
man of intelligence knows the panic,
ruin and commercial disaster which
would be sure to follow. Mr.. Bryan
himself knows it; for at Ackley, Ia,
he admitted that the first effect of the
success Of the free coinage demand
would be to bring on panic. How
long would such panic last? Will it
be one year or five years? No man can
answer. It would last until all busi-
ness engagements would become ad-
justed to the radical changes in value.
No farmer needs to be told that in times
Of panic he cannot get good prices for
what be has to sell. Business panics
simply ruin the market. and he, being
forced to sell his crops as they are
raised, must sell for what he can get
at the time.
Now let US suppose we have reached
that period where business affairs are
becoming adjusted to debased cur
rency. The man who eats what the
farmer grows, is the man who works for
wages. All contracts for wages are now
on the basis of dollars equal in purchas-
ing power to the present gold dollar:
When the panic is over, and prices OF all
commodities begin to rise to level
corresponding to the decline in value Of
the dollar, what will be the position
of the wage-worker? His condition will
measure the amount Of prosperity that
the farmer is to get. because it Is his
purchases that will make the farmers
market. It II law absolute and un-
changeable,. that the wages are the last
thing to rise. His employees will grant
him an increase of wages slowly. and
only when forced to do SO. There will
be . struggle for years and years be
tween employers and employees. and
wages will go up but slowly. This
means then that the purchasing power
Of his wages will for years be less than
now: consequently, he will be forced to
buy less than at present. This being so.
there viii be less market for wheat, and
meats and farm products generally, un-
less the farmer will sell more to him
for tho same amount of money. In
stead. therefore. of getting better prices
for what he has to sell, the farmer
will find his market restricted, because
the workingman's wages are changed
but little and that slowly. and the prices
of his products will be exactly in pro
portion to the purchasing power OF the
wages of the workingman.
Instead. therefore, of getting twice

Macon. Ca. Oct. 26.-The remains of
ex-Speaker Charles Z. Crisp were in
tered in Oak Grove cemetery in Amer
icus Sunday afternoon at twilight. The
funeral train bearing the body of Geor-
gia's dead statesman left Atlanta at
1880 a. M, arriving at Americus. his
home, at p. M. AT various stations
along the route people thronged by
thousands and were permitted to take
a last look at their departed friend.
The remains were accompanied by Gov.
Atkinson and staff. delegations from
Atlanta and other cities of the state,
members of the Georgia Bar associa-
ton, Hon. Hoke Smith, ex-secretary Of
interior; ex-senator Walsh, of Augusta;
Congressman Charles L. Bartlett aud j.
C. C. Black; eN-Congressman Barnes, a
military escort of commissioned of
ficers of the Fifth Georgia regiment,
and several hundred citizens, con-
tributed by the towns wherever the
train stopped.
When the train arrived at Americus,
the entire population of the city had
gathered at the depot. The vast as
semblage stood in silence with uncov-
cred heads to show their respect and
grief for the dead. The tolling bells of
the city added to the solemnity of the
occasion. The remains were escorted
to the Methodist church, where the
funeral service was held. After appro-
pirate music, reading of the Scripture
and prayer, Gen. Clement A Evans
delivered funeral grafton. His trib-
ute to the deceased was impressively
touching. After the service at the
church had been concluded, the re-
mains were conveyed to Oakwoods
cemetery, where they were inferred.
