no installing the way. The one points to
Bryan and free silver and the other to Nc

to pass upon the question comes before tho
country for the first time. Bryan's election
means that the United States will 70 into

Of the present gold standard. The American
people will be guided by the light Of history,

Gov. Bushnell Opens Proceedings In
the Big Tent.
In formally opening the proceedings in
the tent. Gov. Asa 8. Bushnell among other
things said:
tsThe formal opening Of the Republican
can state Of Ohio occurred. In the city Of
Columbus, Aug. Is. The vast crowd that
assembled on that day heard words Of
eloquence and of sound and convincing argu-
ment uttered by such men rs John Sher-
man, Joseph B. Foraker and Stewart L.
Moodford, of New York, each one master
and as Republicans the peer OF any of that
political faith. This splendid meeting to-
day. therefore, cannot be called campaign
opening. As matter Of fact. that which
was formally declared to be such and which
was held at Columbus, was not an open
ing. The campaign opened months ago,
when 1t became certainty who the leader
Of the Republicans would be. Even beyond
that time 1t was opened, for In the depress-
tng year Of this Democratic administration
there have been many political events which
might be we'll designated as openings Of the
presidential campaign Of 1906 Since the
st. Louis convention, the people Of the
country have not waited for the arrange
ments OF their party managers, but have
opened the campaign on their own account;
each stump has been the rostrum for elo-
Quence and around them have gathered
crowds great and small. But this meeting
to-day has been inspired by the idea Of
anstituting pilgrimage to the Republican
shrine. It is really ratification of the
the Republican candidate since he began
receiving those who call to congratulate
him, and themselves upon the work of the
Republicans in their national convention.
I am sure that all Of US can say that we
are glad to be 80 near our candidate and
to contribute little more to the busy po-
litical life Of this city Of Canton. I need
not call your attention to the seeming una.
nimity which has met this idea Of making
the pilgrimage to this city. The vast num-
beers Of Republicans who have gathered here
to-day speak for that point"

THE IMPORTANT ISSUE
A Contributor Who Tells the
 Why's and Wherefores.

ED PRosPEeToR In considering the changed conditions of the finsn. cisl sffairs of the United States in case MT. Bryan is elected president and the free coinage of both gold and silver should become the policy of the coun- try, it is we'll to consider the change to be made in our banking system. We cannot have the assistance ct heart. We should not have the assistance of the United States in maintaining the parity oi the two metals gold and silver farther than making them a legal tender recievsble for all demands public and private.
 The great question that will attract public attention will be the best means or laws suited to make both metals re dsmption metals the same as gold is under the present financial system.
 The argument made by the gold stsndsrd people that silver will drive gold abrosd is certainly not logical. The greenbacks did not. The Issue of the greenbsck was . fla. policy pure and simple, without any intrinsic value in the greenbsck further than that i. was . legal tender and receivable for all debts pubic and private, except duties on imports. Now, gold is the standard world wide. Can silver be maintained as of equal intrinsic value l6 to l is the great problem to be solved.
 The instant congress sent forth its fiat that greenbscks would be received by the United States in payment oj duties on imports and were exchange able for gold at the United States Treasury, though the greeDback had 10 intrinsic value, ye. the fsct tha,
