NOT THE SAME POLICY.

A great many people assume that the Bryan policy of the coinage of sil- yer is e0ad5ly the same that obtained in the United States from the foundation of the government to 1878.
 The policy of free and equal coin age'' at 16 to 1 is not the policy that prevailed down to 1S73 That was a policy, as defined by Jefferson, of coinage according to the real or com mercial ratio of the two metals. "Just principles he said. twill lead us to disregard the legal proportion alto gelher, to inquire into the market price of gold in the several countries with which we shall be principally con- nedled in commerce. and to take an average from them.''
 The market ratio was 15 to 1. and that was the first coinage ratio. Af- forwards silver depreciated. and the ratio was made 16 ito l. Jefferson said further: q very much doubt a right now Io change the value, and especial ly to lessen it. It would lead to SC easy a mode of paying off debts. But Jefferson was a Democrat and al honest man, not a debt 'scaler No one of the Democratic statesmen wht rose, reigned and fell during the earl!

WHAT DID HE MEAN?

{Mr. Bryan said in one of his "little" speeches lately:
 Sometimes it is difficult for us to stand in opposition to the sentiment arrayed against free coinage in the west, but difficult as it has been, re aaize that those who champion our cause in the east have had more to contend with even than we have had and l appreciate the courage of the man who can stand before his people. advance an opinion, and stand by it whether people agree with him or not"
 There is no difficulty in standing in opposition to a sentiment unless it IS the prevalent sentiment of the place. Does Mir. Bryan admit that the sentiment arrayed against free coinage" is Ghe prevalent one even in the west? It really requires no cour- age in man in the east to be in favor of free coinage, because nobody con- siders him in danger of accomplishing anything, and he has nothing to "con- tend" with except his own intelligence 1 and conscience

THAT CHEAP SMITH TRICK.

In our news columns yester- day morning we exposed the paltry scheme to bolster up Mark Smiths waning cause. A more pibiful attempt To create sym pabhy for a candidate never came to our notice. In the face of certain ex- posture the statement was made in the Arizona Gazette lhat Smith had been removed from his position as deputy United States attorney because he was candidate for congress On a silver platform. Ithe motive evidently was to make Smith appear as malt.yr to the silver cause and concentrate, if possible, the silver vote of the terri tory in his favor. It must be evident to Smiths friends, by this time, that he has been greatly injured by this foolish canard. We print elsewhere a dispatch from our Washington cores pondent supplementing the statement Photographed last night, iJhat Attorney | General Harmon has as yet taken no action with regard to Smibh It should i be remembered that the administra- l tion long ago set the seal of it's disap-
 proval upon the practice of federal office holders taking an active part in politics. The removal of Clayton of Alabama was an outcome of this pol icy. Smith undoubtedly has rendered himself liable to dismissal, not, how ever, through his endorsement of Bryan. The fact remains that he has not been dismissed Attorney General Harmon says he requires evidence of Smiths noncompliance with the ad-
 ministration's requirements Fair minded persons will agree that there l is no coercion in this If it had been the policy of the administration to crush office holders who endorse free
 coinage Smiths head would have dropped into the basket some time ago.
 MT. Ellinwoods position in this mat
 ter is not improved by his statement
 printed on our local page. It is not
 credible thaE he communicated with
 MT. Harmon without consulting Smith It has been a cheap performance from first to last and those connected with
 it are properly being held up to ridi- cule.

NO FLAT CAN STAND.

 One of the fallacies espec: ally attract i've to the followers of Bryan is that opening our mints to free coinage at Is to will advance the price of silver from 65 cents an ounce to $1.29 and SO make the dollar worth 100 cents in stead of 51. The whole question turns upon this assumption. If free coinage would nearly double rthe price of all the sil- yer in the world there would be no cheap dollars But neither the farm CTS who want artificial higher prices, nor dishonest debtors who want a 50- cent dollar with which to pay their debts, would profit
 The worlds history and our own ex- perience are against the assump ption that prices can be fixed and sustained by law. Neither France nor all the countries of line Latin Union com bined could sustain the market price of silver by a mint price. No silver i country in the world is doing it today. Under the Bland and Sherman acts the entire silver product of this cOun- try not required for the arts was pur- chased by the government. There was no store of silver, no surplus, save in l the government vaults. The 'de- mand" created by the act of congress covered the entire output. Yet prices | fell from S1.15 an ounce in 1878 to 93 cents in 1888 and 7S cents in 1893. What magic is there in the ratio of 16 to 1? It was adopted in 1884 be- cause it represented the then existin g commercial value or true coinage ratio of the metals. But during the twelve years following the adoption of this ratio less than 100000 silver dollars were coined. In the forty years of it's existence the coinage was less than 1 7,000,000, or not so many dollars as were coined in the first six months of the present year. It never once se- cured parity of value between gold and silver dollars, nor caused both Ito cir culate concurrently. Not once!
 But if the ratio of 16 to i will double the value of silver, why should we not quadruple it by adopting free coinage at 8 to 1, or increase it eight-fold by adopting ''minlt price" of to 1? At what point does the power of the fiat cease? The ratio of 16 to 1 no longer represents what it did when adopted the relative commercial value of the two metals. If Ehe fiat will work al 100 per cent, why not invoke it for 200 and double the happiness of the silver kings?
 Are the workingmen really to risl their savings and the purchasing pow , CT of their wages on somebody's "be lief" that what never in the world hat been done can be done now on tht turn of an election?

BRYAN AND JACK CADE.

Bryan knows what 16 to 1 means. In one of his West Virginia speeches he said:
 ''But I don't care how you define it as long as you understand that under free and unlimited coinage at 16 to 1, sixteen ounces of silver shall equal one ounce of gold in the payment of debt and in the making of money"
 1t makes no difference what the real value may be, sixteen ounces of sil- yer shall equal one ounce of gold. Aye, indeed; There shall be in Eng land seven half-penny loaves sold for a penny; the three hooped pot shall have

Ayers Sarsaparilla enjoys the ex- 'traordinary distinction of having been the only blood purifier allowed an ex- hibilt at the Worlds Fair. Chicago. Manufacturers of other sarsaparillas sought by every means to obtain a showing of their goods, but they were all turned away under the application of the rule forbidding the entry of patent medicines and nostrums. The decision of the Worlds Fair authori- ties in favor of Ayers Sarsaparilla was 1 in effect as follows: Ayers Sarsapa- rilla is not a patent medicine. It does not belong to the list of nostrums.
