Arka nsas holds State election on
Septe It'll, and Maine on Sep
TENDER 14th. The latter will be Of
interest," because the Vice Pr esiden-
tial candidate of the democratic
party, Sewall, is from that state, and
because OF the high old mix into
which the Maine Democrats have
gotten themselves. They held their
State convention before the Chicago
gathering, adopted gold platform
and nominated q ticket of gold men.
The Maine delegation at Chicago re-
fused to vote. along with New York
and the other gold states. Since that
time the free silver Democrats under
Sewall's lead, have pulled Of" the
gold candidate for governor, and sub
stituted q free silverite. What the
outcome will be, no one can pretend
to guess In 1892, the Republicans
carried the state by Is, 900 plurality,
and In 1894 they had nearly $4,000
plurality. 1t does not look much
like q free silver wslkover in the.
Pine Tree state.

"The Boy Lied"

The Detroit News apologies for
Nominee Bryan by falsifying what he
said. The News says:
"Now Mr.. Bryan does not hold that
reconciliation Is going to enhance
silver all the way from SO cents, the
present gold value of the ounce OF
silver, to $1.29, or the present value
of the sixteenth part OF an ounce Of
gold. He holds that silver will 20
half way up, and gold will come half
way down."
Now this IL exactly what Mr.. Bryan
said in his written speech as 1t was
printed In the News and all other
papers that published the speech:
I'VE contend that free and unlim-
tied coinage by the United States
alone will raise the bullion value Of
silver to its coinage value, and thus
make silver bullion worth 20 per
ounce In gold throughout the world. Z"
Which clearly proves that he dies
hold that reconciliation would en-
nance silver all the way from 8S cents
to 81 30. There is no half 10 up nor
bali come down about 1t. The News
tries to repair what 1t knows to he a
bad break by saying that Bryan didn't
say what his written speech proves
that he did say.
The News apology for Bryan is a
falsehood, and the proof
that it is is found in its own columns.

Mills, not Mlnts.

More truth can not be crowded into
an equal number Of words than is
fonnd In this passage Of Major Nc
Kinley's speech in reply to a congrat-
ulatOry address from some of his old
comrades In arms:
do not know what you think
about IL, but / believe it is good
deal better to open up the mills OF
the United States to the labor OF
America than to open up the minis
OF the United States to the silver Of
the world.
This goes hard and straight TO the
root of the matter.
Times are not dull In Pittsburg be-
cause there Is no mint coming gold
or silver dollars in that city, but be-
cause the great iron-works are not
running on full time. There was no
mint at work in South Chicago when
the rolling mills were at work by
night and by day, hut there was a
wage. roll Of $4,000, 900 year. 1t
was not because of the activity OF
the minis that Louisiana nearly
doubled it's sugar output, but because
Of the Mckinley bounty. 1t was not
because the minis were more act
i've In 1891 than in 1893 that In the
nrst year men were striking because
they could not earn more than 50. 90
per day, and In the last were hunting
for work at IS cents, and. for the
most part not finding it. The minis
we're turning out as much money IN
1899 as 10 1891. HIT the mills were
not turning out so many yards OF
cloth or tons of iron.
Start the mills and the minis will
become active. Return to protection
and the currency will settle ITSELF

Siy-For the information Of myself
and your other readers, will you please
state In your columns what actual
value of gold and silver is contained
in q ego gold piece and twenty silver
dollars? In other words, what value
in cash would each of above bring

state what the weight 10 of newly
coined $50 gold piece and silver
dollar.
New York, Aug. Ist 1896.
G. E. MANNING.
A double eagle or go gold-piece of
the United States contains pure gold
bullion worth $40 in actual cash. The
copper alloy (onetenth) is never reck-
oned, as its value is Insignificant.
The double eagle, when coined, weighs
SIC grains--4e4.40 grains Of pure
gold and SLIGO grains of pure copper.
As one ounce of fine or pure gold Is
worth q fraction more than s20,67 a
grain is worth fraction more than
four cents, since there are 480 grains
in one ounce. To be exact, an ounce
OF pure gold Is worth $50. 671s34x, and
a grain .043O66x. BY multiplying the
number of grains of pure gold In a
double eagle, 464.4O, by the value of
a grain, .043066, you will find that
the pure gold 10 twenty-dollar piece
is worth $40 in actnal cash. All the
gold coins of this country are worth
their face value in cash.
The value of silver bullion fuc-
tuates constantly. Just at present
1t is worth $50 cents a nounce. BY
multiplying the present market price
OF silver, Ga cents. by the decimal,
.77343, which represents the fraction
Of an ounce of pure silver contained
In standard dollar, you will find
that the bullion value of a silver
dollar is a fraction more than 80 cts.
AS the bullion in one silver dollar is
worth approximately So cents, the
bullion value of twenty silver dollars
Is about $1,000.
A new silver dollar weighs 4l23
grains and contains 371.25 grains Of
pure silver, the remaining one-tenth
being an alloy of pure copper. Ed.

Hon. Stephen H. Elkins, Of West

cagO Inter Ocean was very frank about

Hear what he said: "rlc Republican
candidate for the presidency was tho
natural outcome OF the operations Of
thu Democratic tariff for revenue only.
The masses Of tho Republican party.
the business men and laboring men,
nominated Major Mckinley because i,c
| represented their idea of IA champion
Of protection to American Industries
and wOrkingmen. This great central
idea that dominated that nomination
must not be abandoned. The tariff is
one OF tho great issues of this campaign
and cannot be dropped. The noncy
question just now seems to lead In
interest, and there Is no disposition ON
the part of any of the Republicans TO
avoid this issue. The question IL. Are
we in favor of opening the minis Of tho
United States tn the free coinage Of
| the silver bullion of the world at twice
the value of that product? This question
will soon solve itself IL the sensible
people of the country study H. II The
| working men, business men and farm
crs of this country can only realize
that the free coinage of silver Is IN the
interest Of about 1000 producers Of
silver, and can bc no benefit to any
body else, they viii settle the matter
most alphabetically next November.
Iscing silver producer myself know
what the free coinage of the whitc
metal means. know that under the
resent silver purchasing act, the silver
producers Of this country were paid by
the United States government about
| Si7O, 400, 900 more than their product
was worth In the OPEN markets Of the
world. Free coinage will mean a rep.
ctition Of this subsidy. The United
States government will simply pay
bonus of about 100 per cent Of tho value
of silver bullion To the mine owners Of
this country and other countries as
we'll"
