Damon eflzatIon of SllYez.

Silver was not t!emonetized by con-
spiracy nor ciandestinely; neither have
the results been as they are claimed by
the free silver men.
Silver was demonetized by Great
britain 100 years ago because it fluctu-
ated. because two yardsticks of un-
equal length or two bushels of chang
ing quantity is an absurdity. an OBJ
stacIe to business and commerce.
All the civilized nations have tried
the same experiment with the double
standard. have found it t,elnsion and
a snare and have come to I'll: single
gol; standard as better t.,ry

An object Lesson III Silver.

There is an American silver dollar.
There are two Mexican dollars. There
is more silver in each Of them than in
the American dollar. l bought both Of
them for that. What is the reason
The sole reason is that our dollar is q
limited coinage, backed by gold. There
is another coin That is u French i've
franc piece. | paid 95 cents for that.
It carries little less silver than the
American silver dollar. France a;ld
the United States are both gold stand
ard countries. They keep in circula-
ton a thousand millions Of silver. and
Mexico and China and Japan have not
got one dollar of gold in circulation.
The gold standard country can keep
silver in circulat ton. The silver stand
ard country can keep no gold. That
is the example of every nation to-day.
Gold all leaves the free coinage

late in the gold standard countries

Bryan's Two-Faced Argument.

When argument is based upon q
wrong principle, it is full of inccnsist-
encies. Candidate Bryan says that our
dollar is too valuable; that it has en-
HANGED until two bushels of wheat are
now required in exchange for dollar.
whereas one bushef of wheat was ex-
changeable for dollar in days gone by.
Mr.. Bryan's remedy for this is to
cheaper the dollar. This is logical, and
the dollar would certainly be cheapened
by "free coinage" No doubt of that.
So far Candidate Bryan is consistent,
but wait q moment. He says also that
the free coinage of silver by the United
States alone would double the price OF
silver bullion and make it worth $1.29
per ounce in gold the world over. II
this advance should result. the silver
dollar would rise In value to the present
worth of the gold dollar, and there
would be absolutely no change in our
financial system. These two PROPOSE
tons are utterly at variance with each
other. One Of them must Of necessity
be MISUNDERSTANDING Dixie.

Bushels and Dollars.

A great proportion of the American
people work for wages, salaries or other
fixed incomes.
Suppose these incomes we're fixed in
bushels of grain--so many bushels Of
grain per day or per week.
Suppose it had been the custom to
pay wages IN wheat
Suppose change was made to corn
the number of bushels remaining the
same.
Would not this reduce wages by just
the difference between the value OF
wheat and corn?
Isn't this what would happen II we
changed from the present full dollar
standard to deprecated standard?
Read bushels for dollars. and you
have the whole argument in a nutshell.
Why should any workingman. any
salaried person. anyone with O fixed
income. vote for a cheaper dollar any
more than he would vote to have HIS
wages paid in cheaper grain IN. y.

REVIEW OF TRADE.

An extraordinary spell OF deadly hot weather
mas affected trade throughout the country and
other conditions are not stimulating. Labor
diffculties extend and the closing OF the estab-
lishments for want OF WORK and the refusal OF
commercial loans by banks checked operations
In many branches OF industry and trade. The
COVE rnment crop report for August was so
gloomy that great rise In prices would have
followed II had been entirely credited. In fact
wheat rose little but again declined. Corn
declined throughout the week. IL Is wise to
remember that the government accounts were
BASED on returns prior to the first spell OF
heat and hence may be more nearly correct
and unofficial estimates OF great decrease In
wheat yield are confronted with a movement
from the farms OF 3,j6D7lf bu the past week,
against ~ i.4s last year, and II scarcely seems
reasonable to believe that J,7O0,OO0 bu would
have been marketed since July I this year,
against II ,2e52i2 bu last year. II the yield had
been smaller. with the price &c lower than
year ago. No one now questions the probable
ity OF a very large yield OF corn.

MANY Death. from Heat.

The fifth day of the continued tor
ridity in New York City and suburbs
was more terrible than the whole of the
preceding days. No less than 100
deaths occurred in the New York City,
20 in Brooklyn, IL in Jersey City, and
A in other suburbs of the metropolis.
The suffering among the poor in the
tenement districts was something awful
Chicago has also witnessed a harvest
of death unprecedented, no fewer than
81 deaths occurred on the fifth day.
There were about 500 dead horses on
the streets, the city being unable to
secure sufficient assistance to cart as
many away as daily succumb to the
heat. st. Louis added five deaths to
her list; Philadelphia seven; Boston
two; indianapolis two.
The situation at Cincinnati improved
somewhat and while there were several
prostrations there were no deaths. Al
Akron, o., William Randall was driven
insane by heat. At Parkernburg, W.
Va, A. III. Thorp suffered a fatal sun
stroke. At Sullivan, Ind, there were
seven deaths from heat.
The continued death-dealing ho'
weather in New York was somewhat
tempered on the sixth day by fresh
ocean breeze, but there were over 10(
deaths in the city aud suburbs notwith
standing.
Greater relief came the following
day, however, and the death list tool
drop to 72.

Pittsburg.
A cloudburst of immense force de-
scended upon Pittsburg and suburbs,
causing the loss of six lives and de-
stroying thousands of dollars worth OF
property. Not much damage resulted
in the immediate city, but it was heavy
in the surrounding places. DeHaven,
small oil town on the Pittsburg ~
Western railroad, had to bear the
brunt of the storms fury, and it was
there that the most OF the lives were
lost. This little town OF 600 inhabit-
ants is situated in valley just at the
junction of two creeks and every heavy
storm fills these creeks and floods por-
tions of the place, and this time wall
OF water Is feet high swept down upon
it. When the storm burst the house
of James Robinson was made the place
OF refuge by 10 persons. OF this mum
Der three women were drowned.
Three other persons were drowned al
other points. At least q dozen towns
suffered much loss.
