There was quite and interesting de-
bate at the court house Monday night
between Ollie James, Of Crittenden
county, representing the silver side
and John Feland, Jr., ofthis city, rep
resenting the gold standard. Both
oil these young men are giants in
their way, but their ways are as widely
apart as the rising and the setting
sun.
Mr.. James fort is burlesque and

callent end man for a minstrel show.
1t is ridiculous for man to get up
before an intelligent audience, when
questions of so much importance are
before the people for their decision,
and spend his time In burlesque. 1t
is not entertainment the people are
after when they go to a political
meeting, but they want instrucS
ton; and the man who occupies
his time in political discussion in
telling anecdotes and burlesqueing
his opponents is not true to the best
interests of his country.
That was au insult to every true
Christian in the audience, nay, to
God himself when he said that If he
were in heaven he would tell God to
nail down the throne or the gold
bugs would steal 1t and coin it into
dollars to buy bonds with. Stealing

that expression brought forth, there

Now, which nations have the most
money--those with the gold standard
or those with the silver standard?
The silverites are fond OF talking
about per capita circulation.
Under free coinage of both gold and
silver the United States had per capita
circulation in 1900 Of SS.9e, In 1883 Of
$500, In 1859 Of $14-6a, In 1879 of $3.50.
In 1904 we had u per capita of s24.2Si IN
1890 we have one of $21.l0.
The per capita circulation of the
world IL about s6.16.
The per capita OF the gold standard
countries Is $1s.
The per capita Of the silver standard
countries is nearly $3.50.
The gold standard countries have q
per capita OF silver alone of $40.
The silver standard countries have q
per capita Of silver OF S2.S2, the rest Of
their small circulation being mainly do
preciated paper.
The gold standard countries. with
less than one-thIrd OF The worlds popu-
lation, have very nearly two-thirds Of
the worlds currenoy circulation.
And yet Mr.. Bryan would talOe this
United States from the gold stendard
and place It upon the silver standards
