THE MODERN ALADDIN.
How Bryan Ignores the Experience
of This and Other Nations with
Free Coinage.

Mr.. Bryan states that he believes the
ment alone, at the ratio of 16 to /,
would raise the price of silver to $1.29
per ounce; and he never tires of alleg-
ing that our government is strong, and
rich, and powerful enough to accomplish
this result without waiting or asking for
the cooperation of any other country.
In making this prediction Mr.. Bryan
ignores the experience of this and other
nations of the world in regard to the
coinage of silver during the past 100
years; but waving that, let us see what
his proposition involves.
/ presume il will be conceded by Mr.
Bryan and his adherents that the price
of silver bullion in this country cannot
be affected without at the same time
affecting il everywhere, and that the
rise in the price win apply to all silver,
whether in bars or wares as well as in
coin, throughout the world.
The figures | shall give. except those
showing the production of silver since
1892, are all taken from a report sub
mitted by Mr. Voorhees,, free silver
advocate, on behalf of the finance com
mittee of the Senate, March 5, 1894,
which report is entitled Coinage Laws
of the United States from 1892 to 1894.
with an Appendix Relating TO Coins and
Currency; Fourth Edition, Revised and
Corrected to August /. 1894. Prepared
Under the Direction of the Committee"
According to that report, page 30,
the production of silver in the world
from 1903 to 1892 amounted TO 1922
5O7, 716 ounces. and there has been pro-
duced since 1892 about 6OO,O0O,OO0
ounces in round numbers. Add this 10
the other sum and we have total of
100 5O7 III, ounces. | have no data
showing the production of silver prior. to
1493. and hence | cannot give the hg-
ures: but | think IL may be safely as
sumed that II amounted to as much as
the whole amount of silver that has been
lost or destroyed. In order to be sure
that we are on the right side. however.
let us deduct 122,5o7, 716, ounces, and
state the present supply of silver IN its
various forms in the world at S,ooo-
GOO GOO ounces. This is worth 66 cents

FARMER BROWNS DILEMMA.

He'd take flour bits OF silver and would
run Il through the mint
And stamp II plain lone dollar with the

Would grind out brand-new dollars at Just

Has the American Farmer Forgotten

That under President Harrison's adj
ministration the prohibition against our
meat products by Great Britain, Ger
many, Denmark, Austria, Francs, Italy
and Spain were removed!
Has he forgotten the high prices he
received during the times reciprocity
and protection were in force!
Has he forgotten that our trade in an
agricultural products was extended dur
ing this time?
Has he forgotten that our exports Of
bacon, hams and lard was increased
$19,000,0O0 in one year by this same
policy?
ST.. OOO, 600 more of American beef
products in single year?
Has he forgotten that we exported
$16,O00,0O0 more of live cattle annu--
ally?
Has he forgotten that we exported
$50, 900 900 of cereals, namely, wheat.
$115,O00,000, -four $2S,000,OO0 and corn
100000?
Has he forgotten that we increased
the foreign sales of all our agricul-
tural products 1915, 100000 annually
over what it had been previously?
Has he forgotten that four years ago
Mr. Bryan and his free trade friends
promised him that if the Mckinley bin
was repealed better prices would be OBJ
tanned for all of his products?
Has he forgotten that all these prom
Uses failed of fruition, and that instead
of receiving better prices all agricultural
products have deprecated in value?
Has he forgotten the good times that
all classes the farmer, the wage worker
and the business man enjoyed under
protection and reciprocity?
Does he propose to accept the promises
of this same Bryan crowd, who make no
references to their pledge of four years
ago that the repeal of the Mckinley
bill would bring relief to all classes in
this country, and who shamelessly ig-
more all reference to those promises, and
now seek his votes under pledge that a
debased and deprecated money will
remedy the hard times?
The American farmer should not for
get that protection and reciprocity
brought him prosperity.

strange TO say, the larger part OF THE
added wealth would be outside Of our
own country. In gold standard coun-
tries the commercial value OF

100000 In Egypt and $4,000, 600 in the
Straits, besides $625, 100000 in this
country, and raise all this money near
ly to par with gold and yet We are told
that all these countries not only refuse
to join Mr.. Bryan and his supporters,
but even do not sympathize with them
in this stupendous enterprise which would
add so much to their wealth, and in
a large degree relieve them from
of keeping their gold and silver coins at
par with each other in their circulation
But how would il work in the silver
standard countries? This government
fiat of ours would at one fell swoop sub
stantially double the value Of Sal 900. 900
in silver coins in Russia; $50,OOO,OOO in
Mexico $S,O00,OO0 in the Central Ameri-
can states; S30,0OO.0O0 in the South
American states: $3.50. 100000 in India,
and $725 100000 in China. and would at
the same time double all the private and
public debts of those countries. which
have been contracted on the silver basis.
But Mr. Bryan's proposition is more far
reaching than that He asserts that he
believes that this legislative fiat on our
part would not only bring the silver now
in existence to par with gold at the
ratio of 16 to /, but would keep il and
doubling the price would hereafter
probably double the production.
In view of these facts is there any inn
propriety in inquiring how il is that we.
10,0OO0OO strong, can affect the money
of 1850, OOO,0O people by simple stat
legislation affect us? And are the people
of Great Britain and continental Europe
and many millions of Americans to be
dubbed 'money-gra bbers" and pluto
Gratis" if they hesitate to believe that Mr..
Bryan has found and carries Aladdin's
Wonderful Lamp, and can produce these
stupendOus results? And are the millions
of people in this country who have made
contracts and investments upon the pres
ent monetary standard which is gold,
and which has been the standard at least
since 1879, and / think since 1884, to be
charged with being unreasonable when
they ask Mr.. Bryan to state explicitly
what he believes would occur not only
to their interests. but to the business Of
the whole country, if his prediction AZ
to the rise in the price of silver should
not be fulfilled and the standard of ex-
change should suddenly be changed from
gold to a silver basis with no, or Mt
best a slight advance in the commercial
value of silver bullion? j. l.. II.

the right of every citizen to freely ex-

Under existing circumstances letters Of

attempts at compulson than is the cir
culaton of any other class of campaign

POLICE SAVED A KNOCKOUT.
They Refereed the Mnher-Slavin Six
Round Bout.


New York, June 9.-Before the six-round
bout between Peter Maher, the Irish
champion, and Frank P. Slaviu of Australia
began at Madison Square Garden last night
the mana cement We're compelled by the
action OF the police to announce that no
decision would be given, but that the men
would box strictly on their merits, and that
spectators could decide as to the winner.
The2 500 persons who witnessed the bout
did not have any difficulty in arriving
at the decision, as from the start to finish
the Sydney Cornstalk" was beaten by
the Irishman. At no time except for a
brief portion OF the second round, did Slavin
show himself to be anywhere near Maher's
class. .
Peter foughtall aroundtbe Australian. and
when Sam Austin. whose duties as referee
were merely nominal. sent the men to their
corners before the third round was ended,
SlaviD was practically knocked out. and
went TO his chair in daZed condition. after
having been badly punched and floored
by right.hand swing on the jaw.
After brief rest tile gong sounded for
the fourth round. Siavin got up. but was
very groggy on his feet. Maher feinted
with his left. and brought the right across
on the point of the Australians jaw.
Slavin staggered to the ropes. completely
bewildered. but before Maher could step
in with decisive blow the referee stepped
between the men and sent them back to
their corners.
Slavin seemed to wish to go on, despite
the fact thathe was clearly beaten, and said
something in low tone to Maher which
made the latter move forward as if to finish
the fight. The referee, however, insisted
on the men going to their corners, and Act
ing Inspector Harley and Capt. Chapman
clambered into the ring. The men then sat
down. The round lasted about ten seconds.
The police officials made the men shake
hands.
