THE ORATOR ABROAD.

Mr.. Bryan is making unique progress In his
eastward flight Never before was such a Jour
ney made in such way by such a man. The
nearest parallel to II. perhaps. was CoXey's
Tramp But Coxey had not been nominated by
a great political party for the office of President
of the United States. Men who are travelling
on important business usually ride on swift.
through trains Mr.. Bryan chooses slow ones
which make frequent stops. He disclaims desire
for speechmaking on the way But nothing
short of vigorous jerk at the engine throttle
can check the flow of his tumd eloqucnce at
every stopping place. A plain man Of the
people should travel unoscntatiously. But
this one makes tumultuous progress amid the
blare Of horns the blaze of calcium lights, the
waving of blasphemously inscribed banners and
the perfervd activity of a corps OF Jealous press
agents.
II is not merely in these respects, however,
that the Juvenile Declaimcrs journey is unique
1t is not the number and the frequency of his
speeches that command the wonder of the world
so much as the variety and extent of the misn-
formation they convey. There is scarcely one
of them that does not contain an error any

WESTERN BORROWERS FEEL 1T.

The people of many cities and counties In the
West and South are beginning to feel the conse-
quences Of the silver craze In a new way. Tn
I'll recently they had been able to borrow
without difficulty in Eastern markets. for the
DEVELOPMENT Of their cities and towns. for the
necessary ronds water works. lights sewers.
schools and other expenses. thus passing along
to future generations part OF the COS; OF Gre
ating civilization in q wilderness. But now the
borrowing meets check. THE Bond Buyer,
which records each week The sales OF municipal
bonds, said on August 10:
The sales of munlcipals during July were over
50 OOO 600 below the monthly average for year,
falling to $7.S14.55s. OF that sum 3,9S4 $50. or
considerably over one-half, were sold before the
Chicago Convention had adopted its free silver
PLATFORM so that II is fair 10 say that the fall
ing off in sales for July was subsequent 70 the
formal announcement Of the financial policy of
the silver conspiratOrs. Tho sales for the first
week In August, our table Will show, was
ridiculously small If compared with the sales
for any week during the last three years Of
depressed business They amounted to only
1926, COO.
1t is needless to add that there is seen as yet
only faint symptom of the dlstrust which
would follow the success Of the Democratic can
dldate. 1t would become impossible to continue
public works or improvements in any except the
most trustworthy gold-standard towns: and it
may be considered. in connection with that
whether the Endorsement Of Organism by Tam
many Hall had anything to do with the failure
to place bonds recently offered by New-York.
