Bryan,s Rotten Egg Argument.

As contribution to financial and
economic thought the following utter
ance of Mr.. Bryan, made in Kentucky,
is the most remarkable yet offered even
by him:
If any man in this community would
offer TO buy all the eggs produced at %
cents dozen and was able to make
good the offer, nobody would sell eggs
for less, no matter what the cost of
production, whether | cent or cents a
dozen. So with silver. Free coinage
would establish the market price of sill
yer at $l.29, and mob, dy would sell it
for a cent less. -
Why limit the price of eggs TO %
cents and of silver 10 Sl.29? If the rea-
soning Is sound, the price in each case
might easily be doubled, and the conse-
quent benefit 20 the human race CORE
spondingly increased And why stop
with eggs and silver? Why not mark up
the price of everything you wish to
buy-offer To pay double or treble what
is asked for it and keep ON paying that
price TO all comers-hold il there?
That's all you have 20 do-hold il
there. Nobody would sell IL for cent
less, " says Bryan. So long as you held
it. $50 with silver " And the man
who is putting forth such thought as
this is candidate for the presidency Of

Decentralization OF silver.

Silver was not dcmonetized by con
spiracy nor clandestinely; neither have
the results been as they are claimed by
the free silver men.
Silver was demonetized by Great
Britain 100 years ago because it fuctu-
atcd because two yardsticks of un-
equal length or two bushels Of changing
quantity is an absurdity, an obstacle to
business and commerce.
All the civilized nations have tried
the same experiment with the double
standard, have found il delusion and
"a snare and have come 10 the single
gold standard a. Il better thing.
The civilized world is now using
more silver, has sounder money and
lower interest than ever before in the
history of mankind
The attempt to return 70 the double
standard Is reactionary, illogical and
irrational and Will not succeed Revo-
lutions go forward, not backward 49,

Nothing In 1t For Wage Farmers.

Mr.. Bryan has claimed that the free
coinage of silver would benefit the
working people. How they would Sc
cure anything from the free coinage Of
silver he does not say, perhaps because
he does not know. II is certainly deep
mystery. In no way that the probable
course Of events can be forecasted can
any advantage for the working people
be reasonably shown.
Everything that a man buys for con
sumption ia the household would be
raised in price. Would wages be in
creased i'll proportion? 1t is not probable
that they would for years, If ever. As
soon as ii became apparent that the free
coinage of silver would be undertaken
prices would be advanced, but wages
would remain stationary until employ
ers could ascertain how they would be
affected With the heavy losses that
many concerns would be compelled TO
meet through the payment of outstand-
ing accounts and notes III deprecated
dollars, it is very probable that the
workingman would have TO wait long
time for his wages To he raised. in the
interval he would have ample oppor-
tunity TO realize the stupendous folly

If you are "a farmer with AN overdue
mortgage or with one that must soon be
renewed, beware of free coinage. 1t
may get you into trouble. Dollars will
be cheaper with free coinage, just as they
now are in Mexico, but interest will
surely be nearly double what it is now,
or about equal to present rates in Next

Farmers Want Cheap Money.

The advocates of free coinage in the
west and south don't take any stock"
in Bryan's occasional assertion that he
contends" that the adoption of this
policy would put up the price of silver
to Sl.29. Indeed they would lose all
interest in the agitation if they sup
posed that the silver dollar under free
coinage was to be worth as much as
the gold dollar is now. The real senti-
ments Of these people are clearly ex-
pressed by James Kitchen, an extensive
farmer and stockman of Grayson, KY,
who, when asked the other day why he
was for free silver made this reply:
/ am for free silver because am in debt
and If we get free coinage | can pay my debts
with onc-half Of what IL now costs under our
pre- cnt money standard And another reason
i employ laborers on my farm. They are the
creditors. / am the debtor. Under free coin
age | can pay them with onehalf il costs me
now, for it will raise the price of products
and can then hire my farm help for 60 cents
a day and pay them in bacon at 10 cents a
pound.
1t must become more and more plain,
as the campaign proceeds, that this is
the motive and must be the result Of the
free coinage agitation. The question at
issue will thus finally resolve itself into
the larger question: whether the Ameri-
can people still believe that honesty is
the best policy.

There are two Mexican dollars. There
is more silver in each of them than in

sole reason is that our dollar j. limit

another coin. That is French franc
piece. paid 80 cents for that. 1t car
ries little less silver than the Ameri-
can silver dollar. France and the Unit
ed States are both gold standard coun.
tries. They keep in circulation a thou
sand millions of silver, and Mexico and
China and Japan have not got one dol
lar of gold III circulation. @lhe gold
standard country can keep silver in cir
culation. The silver standard country
can keep no gold. That is the example
of every nation today. Gold all leaves
the free coinage country. Gold and sill
