At the Waterloo CIa-,) Chautauqua on
the Money Question.

waterloo, Ia, June 26.-The fourth
annual session of the Waterloo Chau-
tauqua assembly was opened yester-
day by a debate on silver between ex-
Congressman w J. Bryan of Ne
brasza. and w 3. Mason of Chicago.
Ex-Gov. Boies acted as chairman for
Mr.. Bryan, and said that he believed
the silver problem the greatest and
gravest question before the people Mr..
Bryan admitted that he would favor
the free coinage by the United States
of foreign silver, even while other ma
tions would not grant our free silver
coinage in their mints. for he believed
it would benefit our people to have the
money here.
Mr.. Mason combated the idea of free
coinage being beneficial to the people.
and said that even if silver was piled
in the treasury as high as Washing
toms monument it would be of no bene-
dt to the man who was out of job
The trouble was that Democratic tariff
legislation had gfven the American
laboring mans job to aliens, and that
was what caused these troublOus times
rather than the money question.

CARLISLE HOPES

Keep Gold
FROM GOING AWAY.
Believes the Republican Gold

Effects of a Free Silver DecIar-
alton at Chicago.

Washington. June 26.-The treasury
officials are now hopeful that they VIII
be able to maintain the sold reserve
during the summer and autumn unless
there should be a serious panic due to
political causes. The conditions 0n
which they rely are the usual demand
for small currency to move crops and
the favorable trade balance for this
country.
The figures for the present year show
a material increase in imports and e7--
ports over the record of some OF the
years of depression. but the balance is
largely on the side Of exports The III
months of the fiscal year ending in
May showed an excess of exports of
only S92, III, OH. an improvement of @lQ,-
500 600 over 1895. but the figures of the
five months of the calendar year show
an Improvement of more than 100000
600
Secretary CarlisIe's offer to pay e.-
press charges both ways when sold
is offered to the government i'm eo-
change for currency is still in force
The ability of the treasury to maintain
the gold reserve unimpaired during the
summer and autumn depends. accord
ing to the friends of the administration
to some extent upon the effect OF a dec
laratiOns for free silver by the Chicago
cOnVention- 1t has been feared that
such declaration would be disastrous
to the pubic credit and the naLonal
finances. But this fear has been some
what mitigated by the strong declara-
ti0n of the ST. Louis convention for
the gold standard and the beneficial
effect upon the market Outside of po-
Htical accidents the history of normal
and abnormal years of gold exports
seems to indicate that the net losses
to the reserve viii not be heavy dur
ing the summer.
The reserve increased in 1892 from
S11O.444, 391 on July 81 to S124006.119 on
October 81. The reserve remained SUBJ
Stantia1lV unchanged In 1898 from A uril
to October, and then began the heavy
losses which compelled the bond issue
of February, 1894. The reserve again
remained nearly intact during the sunni
mer of ls94, although it touched F7f-
go 607 on july 81, and did not slIl
seriously until october, when another
bond issue became necessity. The
transactions Of 1895 We're dominated ty
the contract with the Morgan sTnli-
cate. and the export movement which
might have taken place i'm the sprilg.
was postponed until August ana Sep

Even under these conditions the re-
serve stood at S92. 943. .179 on October 81.
and the great loss did not occur until
tho following months The gold eE-
ports during July. August and Sep
tember, 1895 were about $4,000 600 bat
