INDIANA NEWSPAPER OPINION.

Wheat continues to advance in price. 1t
| is impossible to legislate against supply and
demand.--New Castle Press.
The Populistic fusion is the straw that is
breaking the Popocratic party's back in
this State.-Connersv1lle News.
The price of silver is still going down,
| which is more than can be said of Bryan's
silver arguments.-Goshen Times.
Mckinley is making no mistakes. He is
| growing in public favor just as his oppo-
nent is shrinking.-MaIion Chronicle.
There are few men who go to market
and claim that their money is too good
or that a dollar buys too much.-Middle-
town News.
The old soldier who votes for Bryan will
thereby register his acceptance OF a prop
osition to nave his pension reduced one
half.-Lafayette Courier.
The Democrats who do not believe in free
coinage at the ratio of 16 to appear to be
taking Mr.. Bryan's advice Ito get out of
the party. -Munc Times.

There is not the semblance Of regular
ity'' in the nomination Of the Democratic
electoral ticket in Indiana It is Populist
through and through and the Democrat

a Populist ticket.-Wabash Plain Dealer.
Candidate Bryan goes on talking about
the ability of our government to keep sill
yer at par regardless of the amount coined
and vet he knows that under free coinage
there would be no government guarantee
of the value of the silver dollar, as there
is at this understandable Journal.
The hard times are not due to a scarcity
Of money, but to a scarcity Of business.
The scarcity of business is due to two
things. One is the untaxed foreign compe-
tition permitted by the Wilson tariff law.
The other is a lack of commence, caused
by the free coinage MISUNDERSTANDING
Republican.
The nations of the world are astonished
that in civilized America a considerable
number, sufficient to form a great party,
could be found who would repudiate honest
obligations, depreciate the currency, threat
en- the overthrow of courts, the disobedi-
ence Of laws and the subversion OF liberty.
-Eikhart Review.
Vote for Bryan and 1t means a financial
panic, as he himself says. And this just
as we are recovering from a severe indus
trial panic. In other words the patient IS
just recovering from a severe attack OF
typhoid fever and Mr.. Bryan proposes that
he have an attack OF the smallpox TO COM
plete his recovery.-Seymour Republican.
The Bryanites are getting it in the
neck from all sides. The Republicans of
course, are giving them battle along the
whole line. The middIe-of-the-road Popu-
lists don't like them even a little bit, and
the national or genuine Democracy are dia-
metricaily opposed to the repudiationists
from every acknowledgements Journal.
Mr.. Bryan has many points to
him to patrons of the drama He is said
to have @ fine presence, a good physique
and a voice of uRmeasured volume. His
powers of mimicry, stimulation and word
juggling are the envy of the profession. In
his favorite role of Silver Bill, in the play
.Popocracy," he Is certainly inimitabIe.
