ic party. If such results followed
when there was such little difference
between the two metals, what would
ensue under the sixteen TO one propo-
sition, which makes the disparity near.
ly as two to oneP No man can fore
see the danger.
As business man realize the sue
cess Of the Bryan ticket would be Inn
mediately followed by a withdrawal Of
the securities held by the English and
other foreign capitalists. When the
Sherman act was passed holders Of
American securities became alarmed
and the result was that from 1888 to
1893, when it was repealed, the net loss
by export over import of the precious
metal (gold) was $3.50, ,4O3. But the
Sherman law restricted the coinage Of
silver. Think of what free coinage
might have done!
AS a business man know that the
success Of the Bryan ticket would
cause bankers to call in their money
and hold it; would compel merchants
to buy closely and retrench in every d.
rection, and induce manufacturers to
stop their wheels. None of these
would take chances on taking So cents
for a hundred cents. They are bust
ness men and do not do things that way.
| have observed that the howlers for
debased money are composed mainly
OF owners Of silver mines (who are bus.
mess men and see 100 per cent profit
ahead for them in this scheme); people
who have no money to risk OF lose, and
politicians who seek office. None of
these are safe guides for the people.
These calamity fellows ascribe all the
evils that exist in the ''infamy of 1873"
AS a fact that act merely confirmed
what has been an act since IS34-the
demonstration of silver. Since that
time, however, that is, from 1873 to
1893, there was coined in silver $780,

POINT FOR slcyCLIsrS.

An italian physician has had his at
tentiOn called to some affects Of over.
fatigue from bicycling. A number of
riders who had ridden long distances
at q rapid rate were carefully examined.
Irregularty In the hearts action was
apparent in almost all individuals. The
nervous system Of all was more or less
affected, and in several cases there was
some nausea and rush of blood to the
head, giddineBs and uncertain vision.
Every rider was found to haYe more or
less defective hearing. This was &C
counted for by the thrObbing of the
veins in the throat and head and a
slightly contested condition. After
several hours Of rest the system became
nearly normal and the sense Of hearing
returned in all but few cases. The
physician thinks that the pressure of
the blood on the sensitive membranes
of the ear may, after time, produce
partial deafness. 1t is of much more
Importance than most riders are willing
to admit that this exercise be not over
done. a serious strain at any period
is likely to produce results from which

JEFFERsoN's SOUND DOCTRINE

Let us quote from Jefferson, the
father of the Democratic party. He
said in opposing the Morris scheme
before congress in 1889:
Just principles will lead us to disre-
gard legal proportions altogether to in
quiFe into the market price OF gold in
the several countries with which we
shall be principally connected in COM
msrce, and to take an average from
them. Perhaps we might we'll and
safely lean to a proportion somewhat
above par for gold, considering our
neighborhOod and commerce with the
sources of the coins, and the tendency
which the high price of gold in Spain
has to draw thither all that of their
mines, leaving silver principally for
our and other markets"
The grand convention of congress
said In its report, made May, 1885:
I'm France one grain of pure gold is
counted worth fifteen grains of silver.
In Spain sixteen grain of silver are ex-
changed for one grain Of gold, and in
England fifteen and one.half. In both
England and Spain gold is the prevail.
ing money, because silver is under.
valued In France silver prevails"

gether for once ia their lives and agree
upon bimetallism. deciding upon a ra,
tle Of fifteen % one. The result was
that we had silver recommendation,
from that date (i7ss) until 1884. Gold
was UnderValued. Il was then worth
1917. Two years later It was worth
1884. Gold had entirely disappeared
in 1917. The act Of 1884 was designed
to correct this evil, the ratio being
fixed at sixteen to one. Gold now be.
ing less valuable than silver, the latter
disappeared and the yellow metal en-. |
tered the market. The act Of 1853 was
Intended to stop the steady outflow of |
silver.

Who Suffer the Host From the Debase-
ment Of the Currency.

The misgoVernment of Charles and
James, gross as It had been, had not
prevented the common business of life
from going steadily and prosperously
on. While the honor and independ-
ence Of state were sold to a foreign
power, while chartered rights were in
vaded, while fundamental laws were
violated, hundreds Of thousands Of
quiet, honest and industrious families
labored and traded, ate their meals and
lay down to rest In comfort and secuT-
ity. Whether Wings or Tories, Protes
tants or Jesuits, we're uppermost, the
Rrazier drove his beasts to market; the
grocer weighed out his currants; the
draper measured out his bFoadeloth;
the hum of buyers and sellers was as
loud as ever in the town; the harvest
home was celebrated as joyously as
ever in the hamlets; the cream over
flowed the pals Of Cheshire; the apple
juice foamed in the presses Of Here
Yorkshire; the piles Of crockery gloWed
in the furnaces of the Trent, and the
barrows Of coal rolled fast along the
timber railways OF the Tyne.
But when the great instrument Of
exchange became thoroughly deranged,
all trade, all industry, were smitten as
with a palsy. The evil was felt daily
aud hourly in almost every place and
by almost every class, I'M the dairy and
on the threshing floor, by the anvil and
by the loom, on the pillows of the
ocean and in the depths Of the mine.
Nothing could be purchased without a
dispute. Over every counter there
was wrangling from morning to
night. The workman and his employ.
or had a quarrel as regularly as the
Saturday came round. On fair day
or a market day the clamOrs, the re-
proaches, the taunts, the curses, were
incessant; and 1t was well If no booth
was overturned and no head broken.
No merchant would contract to de
liver goods without making some slip
ulatiOn about the quality of the coin
in which he was to DO paid. Even men
Of business were often bewildered by
the confusion into which all peeuniary
transactions were thrown. The sim.
pie and careless were pillaged without
mercy by extortioners, whose demands
grew even more rapidly than the mon
ey shFank. The price of the necessa
rIes of life. Of shoes of ale, of oatmeal,
rose fast. The laborer found that the
bit Of metal which, when he received
It, was called shilling, would hardly,
when he wanted to purchase pot of
beer, or a loaf Of rye bread, 60 as far
as sixpence. Where artisans of more
than usual intelligence were collected |
IN great numbers, as in the dockyards |
at Chatham, they were able to make |
their complaints heard and to obtain |
some redress. But the ignorant and |
helpless peasant was cruelty ground be-
tween one class which would give
money only by tale, and another which
would take it only by weight. From
MCCauley's History of England.
