Il few years ago he visited the SiSseton
reservation In South Dakota and while there
did all he could TO ascertain the real con-

way or the other in the arts and sciences.
The Indians were greatly pleased at this
friehdly interest and regarded their visitor
in the light OF a counsellor.
This was prior TO the development of Con-

DemonotIza,ion of silver.

Silver was not demonetized by con-
spiracy nor clandestineiy; neither have
the results been as they are claimed by
the free silver men.
Silver wac demonetized by Great
Britain 100 years ago because 1t fluctu-
ated, because two yardsticks of I'M
equal length or two bushels of chang
ing quantity is an absurdity, an obsta-
Gle to business and commerce.
All the civilized nations have tried
the same experiment with the double
standard, have found 1t delusion and
snare and have come to the single
gold standard as a better thing.
The civilized world is now using
more silver, has sounder money and
lower interest than ever before in the
history of mankind.
The attempt to return to the double
standard is reactionary, illogical and
Irrational and will not succeed Rovo-
lltions go forward, not Backward

BIsMARcK.s ADVICE.
Is 1t Unprejudiced. and Can We Anerd
to Follow It,.

Mr.. Bryan appears to set great store
by the letter which Governor Culber-
son, of Texas. received from Prince
Bismarck. The peoples friend" is will
ing to receive advice from the Man OF
Blood and Iron," and the champion OF
the American farmer" listens to that
famous friend of American agriculture
who shut the German ports to Ameri-
can pork in 1884 and to American po-
tatoes in 1885. and who would gladly
have united all Europe in q customs
league aimed directly against all Amer
lean produce. Bismarck's rather diplo-
matte letter is taken by. Mr.. Bryan IN
his recent speeches to favor the free
coinage of silver by the United states.
The devotion of Chancellor Bismarck
to the cause of silver may be seen In
the following historical fact, which ap-
pears to have escaped general notice:
Under his guidance as chancellor OF
the empire and minister of commerce
for Prussia the equivalent of l,OSO,-
100000 marks lover S270. 000,0O) in sill
yer was demonetized between the years
1874 and 1881, and over 160,OO0,O0O
worth of the bullion into which these
were melted had been sold by 1879. In
that year, finding that the price OF sill
yer was becoming demoralized, so that
his remaining 109,000,000 was depre-
ciating, he stopped sales by decree
issued in May, 1879. These points were
frankly stated by his delegates to the
in "a M
1881. when Germany likewise offered to
suspend sales for a time in order that
the price might not be further de-
pressed. With these assurances before
the monetary powers and with the de-
cree OF 1879 still in force, Bismarck saw
an opportunity OF dumping some Ger
man silver on the sly and promptly pro-
ceeded to do so. In 1885 the Egyptian
government decided to change itss coin
age and invited bids for contracts to
coin its silver piasters. The German
mint secured the contract to make the
coin and incidentally furnished $3,1S9,-
600 of silver bullion to Egypt. The mat
ter was kept very quiet or escaped gem
eral notice. Reference to IL will be
found, however, in the London Econo-
mist of Dee. 4, 1856, which saw in 1t a
proof of Bismarck's lack of faith in sill
yer.
With all his faults, Bismarck Is a
sturdy patriot. To help the German
distiller he was willing to see trichinae
in every American pig, and to protect
the German farmer he smelled bugs on
every American potato. Germany has
to-day S1O7, 100000 worth of silver
whose value is declining. If the United
States could be induced to follow the
example of Egypt and give Germany a
chance to do some more unloading,
where Is the harm, from the ex-chdn-
cellor's point of view, in writing let-
ter of not entirely disinterested advice?

There are two Mexican dollars. There

The sole reason is that our dollar Is a

why Does Not Mr.. BRYAN Answer

why Does Not Mr.. Bryan Answer
Mr. Bryan tells the farmers that free
coinage of silver will give them cheap
dollars with which to pay their debts.
Mr.. Bryan tells city workingmen that
free coinage of silver will raise the
metal to S1.29 per ounce, bringing the
silver dollar at par with the gold dollar,
thus giving city wor..ingmen another
dollar as good as the present one with
which to buy the farmers products.
That is to say, to the farmers the
Bryan silver dollar is to be a cheap dol
lar to pay debts with. To city labor the
Bryan dollar is 10 be dollar of high
purchasing power to buy with.
Free. coinage of silver cannot produce
these two dollars. 1t can produce only
one of the two. Why do not would be
supporters of Mr.. Bryan ask him which
dollar he really means? Both the farm
er, who wants to pay debts, and the
workingman, who must buy farm pro-
duce, are interested in having this
question nswered.-Chicago Times

Farmers want Cheap Money

The advocates of free coinage in the
west and south don't take any stock"
in Bryan's occasional assertion that re
contends that the adoption of this
policy would put up the price OF oliver
TO $1.29. Indeed they would lose all
interest in the agitation If they sup
posed that the silver dollar under free
coinage was TO be worth as much as
the gold dollar is now. The real senti-
ments of these people are clearly ex-
pressed by James Kitchen, an extern
sive farmer and stockman of Grayson,
KY, who, when asked the other day
why he was for free silver, made this
reply:
81 am for free silver because / am in
debt, and IL we get free coinage can
pay my debts with one-half of what it
now costs under our present money
standard. And another reason, en-
ploy laborers on my farm. They are
the creditors. l am the debtor. Under
free coinage l can pay them with one
half it costs me now, for it will raise
the price of products, and l can then
hire my farm help for so cents day
and pay them in bacon at Is cents a
pound"
1t must become more and more plain,
as the campaign proceeds, that this Is
the motive and must be the result of
the free coinage agitation. The ques-
ton at issue will thus finally resolve
itself into the larger question, whether
the American people still believe that
honesty Is the best policy.

Mr.. John Fiske, in his Critical
Period In American History" describ-
ing the widening distress caused by
the cheap money" in circulation Just
after the Revolution, said: "The worst
features of this financial device is that
it not only impoverishes people but
bemuddles their brains by creating a
false and fleeting show Of prosperity.
In such a crisis the poorest
people, those who earn their bread by
the sweat OF their brows and have no
margin Of accumulated capital, always
suffer the most. Above all men il is
the laboring man who needs sound
roney and stable values"

SILVER I'm A NUTSHELL.
Free Coinage of Bricks Would Not Raise
TlIaIr prlce- Z


Did you ever stop to think what
would be the result IL the government
should by legislation determine that
ordinary building bricks by 4 by s.
inches in size should be legal tender in
any amount for 81 each and should ar
range to have them so stamped in any.
quantity free of cost TO the persons
presenting them?
Under such circumstances the price
of building bricks would at once adj
vance to $1,000 thousand, for If they.
could be coined" without cost the.
bricks "uncoined" would be worth just
as much as the coined" bricks-s1I
each. But did it ever occur to you that
IL would not be an advance in the value
Of the bricks. but a decrease in the.
value of the dollars, which would thus
establish a new parity between money
and property" that under such a sys-
tenn $1,000 would be worth only 1000
bricks that that 1000 bricks would ex-
change for no more commodities or
labor than it does today, and conse-
quently that $1,000 would mean no
more to us than 1000 bricks do now?
In other words our government can
determine by legislation what commod-
ity and what amount of that commodity
81 shall be. but it must leave it 10 the
laws of comparative supply and de-
mand, cost of production, etc, to de-
termine what the value of that COM
mod.ty shall be. 1t may declare that a
brick shall be a dollar, in which case
81 will be worth whatever a brick will
exchange for. 1t may declare that 25.S
grains of gold shall be dollar, in
which case 81 will be worth whatever
25.S grains of gold will exchange for,
or it may declare that 412la grains of
silver shall be dollar, in which case
81 will be worth only what 412ls grains
OF silver will exchange for, the same
today as sos cents in gold. or, giving
the debtor the option" as to what dol
lar he shall use with which to pay his
debts, II may declare that each OF
these three shall be a dollar. in which
case 81 will be worth just as much as
the least valuable of the three, which
under present conditions would be the
brick.-L. Carroll Root.
