ratio which exists today, But suppose
that tomorrow the markets change and
the ratio falls to 30 or 2s, OF to 81, or
perhaps to 2Ol Should we not then
and for each intermediate step between
the price of silver bullion today and to-
morrow change the law; because, you
remember, they say, the law is dishon-
est unless it is simply the exponent of
commercial valuation. Why, under
such condition our congress would
have to be in session all the time and
the chairman Of the finance committee
would be obliged to put stock tickets
in the halls of the respective houses
and the committee rooms would then,
l am afraid, take on much more of the
nature of bullion brokers Offices than
they even now possess. This is a sample
of the inconsistent condition of things
which the gold men in the present
campaign are trying to impress upon

THE COAST FOR BRYAN.

Reports from the Pacific coast are all
one way-for Bryan. The secretary of
the democratic state committee of Cali
fornia, writes that the state is sure for
Bryan by very large majority, and
Mr.. G. Cole, Of Los Angeles, in the
same state, says in letter to Senator
Faulkner This state will give a
very large majority for Bryan. 1 think
more than $1,000. 1t can not be figured
at less. You need not waste the party
energy by sending speakers out here.
While we would like to see and hear
them, we do not need them. Don't
scatter. Break the enemy's lines. "
The chairman of the democratic state
committee of Oregon, writes that poll
of the state has been taken and that
Bryan's majority will certainly exceed
1000 and may go as high as 10000,
while the secretary Of the union BIZ
metallic party of the same state, says ;
81 see no reason to doubt that Bryan
will win in this state by from 5000 to
10000"

Senator Faulkner says of the reported
boast of the republicans that they have
money enough to buy up the doubtful
states this year 81 have never known
an election in any state to be carried
by the purchase Of votes and I do not
think one will be carried that way this
fall. The opportunities to use money
effectively have passed, as oil the large
combinations have been completed. !
do not believe that the lack Of money
will prevent the democrats getting out
their full vote on election day. This is
q campaign in which the people are
sufficiently interested in the result to
come ont themselves.

IS BROWNLOW DEFEATEDS

AS the election draws near it becomes
more and more apparent to those who
are familiar with the situation in this
congressional district that Brownlow,
the republican primary nominee, is go
ing to have the hardest fight of his life.
He was nominated at primary early
in the spring when the money question
did not cut such figure in his party,
and at time, too, when many of the
voters thought that the republican ma
tional convention would not lose the
opportunity of its existence to declare
for independent bimetallism course
that would have buried forever the OPP
position. Mr.. Brownlow made his
canvass before that primary in favor of
silver and against the national banks
and building and loans. Three men
were running and he was nominated.
The st. Louis convention declared
for gold, and it is claimed by many
leading party men that Brownlow has
not trimmed to suit it.
He declared few nights ago, in a
public speech in this city, that he was
in favor of the free coinage of the
American product with duty on
foreign silver. He then tried to show
that this was the position of the st.
Louis platform, but with poor success
as can be imagined. The result is that
Capt. Nelson, has come out as the
true blue gold candidate and gives very
substantial reasons why his party should
support him.
1t is folly to boot at the strength OF
Capt. Nelson, an old soldier and life
long republican. The conditions are
ripe for breaking away from Brown
low. Some Of his oldest friends say
that they will not support him no mat
ter what amends he tries to make fol-
webbing. They say that the fact tina
he is member Of the national commit
tee makes it still worse, They say thai
his efforts to hold the silyer-inclined
republicans and the gold men too, is I
piece of demegogy that will cost hin
the support Of many heretofore for him
Whether this dissension will reacf
the extent of defeat is yet to be seen
but the fact is apparent that Brownlov

Mr.. Bryan's managers have assur-
ances which are as positive as it is pos
sible to make them in advance of the
actual announcement of the vote, that
Delaware, West Virginia, Maryland
and Kentucky-all of which are being
claimed by the repubhcans-are as safe
for Bryan as Georgia and Florida are,
1t is just as we'll known to Mark Hanna
as it is to the democratic managers that
Mckinley will get no electoral votes in
the south, but he is keeping up his
claims with the hope that it will help
him to stem the Bryan tide that is rap
idly rising in the middle west, and
which is threatening to sweep every
thing, even McKinley's own state, be-
fore it,

An Unanswerable Argument.

Hon. William V. Rocker of Indiana,
law partner of Hon. W. d. Bynum, a
democratic bolter, has been a republi-
can all his life, but this is the way he
talks now
81 have always been republican,
but / intend to cast my vote in this
election for William J. Bryan. I intend
to enter protest against the dangerous
policy of finance Endorsed by the st.
Louis platform.
"Suppose we take our gold friends
at their word and strike down all legal
standard; that we retain the dollar,
but that we have it just as we have a
COW, or horse or hog. 1t may be dol
lar of one valuation in one locality or
to one man and it may have different
valuation elsewhere, because there is
to be no standard except a market
standard. Suppose, then, that you owe
me 81, 200, to secure the payment of
which l haye your collateral that when
the day of payment arrives you come to
me with your bag of dust or bullion
and your apotheeary's scales and you
weigh out to me what you consider
81 900. When the beam of your scales
is level you stop pouring on the metal,
and l inquire why you hesitate. You
say to me "Why, Mr.. Rocker, Smith
took this amount from me last night
for 81 900 and Brown took it this morn
ing and Jones took it this day noon.
Why this is 81 900, Mr.. Rocker, fairly.
Won't you take it for 81, OOO?" 1 reply
to you: "No, sir / have not relegated
to Brown, Smith or Jones the manage
ment OF my business affairs or the val
uation of my property, and this debt is
my property. You shall pour on until
/ am satisfied or 1 will keep your col
lateral" And thus you are at my mercy.
You may say to me: "Mr. Rocker, If
you can not accept this amount in pay
ment OF the debt / will go into the
courts and enforce the tender as a pay
ment of the debt" and | remind you
then that there is no standard of value
for dollar available to you to prove
the suficiency of your tender. I say
to you that the law has left to the mar
kets the matter of fixing the value OF
the dollar, without defining the partic-
ular market; that if you want your
proof you can not obtain it, because
markets vary, and because the reports
of markets are of the hearsay character
of evidence to such an extent as that no
court would admit them in proof Of
your claim.
ION reflection you find that the diff
ficulties Of your situation are such that
it would be cheaper for you to pay the
price of my unjust demand than to seek
the protection of judicial tribunals
which you are taxed to maintain. Now,
how can the people be expected to like
q financial system like that? But our
| gold friends say that while commercial
valuation should be the standard, YET
it should be standard incorporated in
the law. Let us see what thiSleads us
to. The force of their argument, they
say, lies in the fact that commercial
valuation is fair valuation.
"They say that we ought to have a
ratio of 80 to 1, because 80 to l is the
market ratio. Now, grant it, for the
sake of the argument, that soto IS the

Secretary EdgertOn, of the populist
national committee, who was for several
years chairman Of the populist state
committee of Nebraska, and who is
thoroughly posted on existing condi-
tions in that state, says Bryan will get
i7O, 900 populist votes, 10000 democratic
votes, 10000 republican votes and 1900
prohibitionist votes, total of 1873, 600,
while Mckinley will get 0,OOO republi-

cheap demagogy and course vulgarity

The contrast besween him and his
Mr.. Lawrence and Capt.
Nelson, is so striking that many re-
publican who holds man above party or
party regularity will be forced to vote
for the democrat or the independent
republican,
Hon. L. L. Lawrence is one of the
ablest young men in the First district
and is a gentleman of culture and re-
hpement. He is man of unusual ex-
perience and unquestioned ability.
He is an afable and companionable
fellow with a strong and commanding
personality, and if elected would be an
honor to the district
1t is not the purpose of THE COMET
to abuse Mr.. Brownlow he has enemies
enough in his own party to keep his re-
cord before the voters and besides,
everyone knows Brownlow as we'll or
perhaps better than The COMET. He
is a politician of the INSCRIPTIONS
