Facts Which Show A1r. Bryan to Bs ON
His Haze.

hs n8scA
Bryan asserts that ''when the gov
eminent prohibits the making of dol.
lar by an individual, then the govern
ment assumes the solemn duty OF Great
ing enough dollars for the people to do
business with" This sage utterance
was applauded.
Is this meant as an insinuation that
the government has been negligent in
the creation of dollars? II so, it is I'M
warranted. The government has been
SO active in the work of creation that It
has produced $4,000, 900 silver dollars,
3i6,000,000 greenback dollars and 146,-
100000 Sherman note dollars. This is
outside of the gold dollars which have
been coined and of the s2l2, o0O, 900 In
national bank notes.
There are in circulation 1000, 900, 900
dollars of different kinds, each bearing
the stamp of the government. That does
not look as il it had been neglectful of
its duty and had failed to give the peo-
pie dollars enough "to do business
with" There were dollars enough TO
do business with in the prosperous days
of 1so0-92, when there were fewer than
now. There are more than enough TO
do business with now, when so many
men are driven out of business by the
free silver agitation.
There is no scarcity of dollars, but
there is scarcity of confidence. There
is lack of the courage to use dollars
so as to make profit out of them. New
ertheless Bryan clamors for more dol
lars. Sixteen hundred million of them
are not enough for him.
He demands free coinage in order "to
replenish the currency of the nation"
1t needs no replenishing. There is az
this moment more currency than is
needed, and yet this financial quack pro-
poses to add more. He demands that
every man who has 80 cents worth of |
silver shall be allowed to have a dollar |
made out of it, which he will put in cir
culation.
But the dollars with which this pro-
posed work of 'replenishing" is to be
carried on will be bogus dollars. They
will be worth only half dollar apiece.
Their injection into the circulation will

A BRYAN soPHrsTRy.
HIS Unfounded Charges Against the Re-
publican Party.

| publican Party.
In all of his speeches, Mr.. Bryan dwells
upon the alleged inconsistency of the
republicans in declaring for the main
tenance of the gold standard and at tho
same time favoring an international ar =
rangement for the larger use of silver.
IF the gold standard is a good thing"
he asks, day after day. why do they
want foreign nations to help us let go
of it?" This bit of sophistry is on par
with the rest of his so-called arguments
against Sound money" and a safe
standard of value. AS matter of fact,
the republicans are not looking for
way to get rid of the gold standard.
They say in their platform: "We are
opposed TO the free coinage of silver, en-
cept by international agreement with
the leading commercial nations of the
earth, which agreement we pledge our
selves tn promote" This fact does not
mean that they prefer double stand
ard, or an alternating standard, but only
that they believe our government should
cooperate with others. whenever such
thing is possible. for the buying and
coming of the worlds output of silver
under such conditions as shall not en-
danger the permanency of the gold
standard. That is the kind of bimetall-
ism which they are pledged to promote,
and not the kind that would abolish the
gold standard.
There is no Inconsistency in such an
attitude. and no qualification of the dec
laration for the maintenance of the pres
cnt standard. The republican party is
not the enemy of silver; i; has put more
of that metal in use as money than any
ether party in our history. If all the
silver in existence could be coined to-
morrow and kept on parity with gold,
the republicans would be glad to see it
done. But they know that the condi
tons are now such that step of that
sort would destroy the 100-cent standard
and put the country on q 53-cent basis,
with disastrous consequences to all
classes. Therefore, they are opposed TO
free coinage, as they say, except by in
tcrnational agreement" or, in other
words, under conditions giving assur
lnce of exemption from the evils of de

/ of suffering from the silver increment.
I however, the republicans OF the state
have gained immensely, their toral ma
jority being now estimated al between
$4,000 and $4,000.
This is notably bigger majority
than Vermont has ever returned for Il
republican candidate; but the s!gnifi-
cant thing is that, while the republican
majority is larger, the whole vote is, in
proportion, larger still, being much
greater than in previous years. The
vote of the state in 1892 was 55,7114; il.
1894 ii was 5s,0l5. At this election, ac-
cording 10 the best returns obtainable,
it is over $1,000. That is to say, the
state majority piled up for Grou, is no.
due to the fact that democrats stayed az
home or refused toyote. People OF both
parties were present in full force a:
the polls, and the republican gains have
been greater in proportion than the in.
crease in the number of votes cast. Not,
withstanding the increase in the total
vote, the democratic vote is about the
same as il was in 1894 and considerably
less than it was in 1892.
There is no way to avoid the oonclu-
sion that the big republican majority
was swelled to its formidable dimen-
sions by democratic votes. The increase
in the majority cannot be accounted for
save on the supposition that il was
drawn from the vote which was demo-
cratic in previous years. or course. the
proof afforded by the heavy vote tina;
the people are alert this year will please
all parties, for il indicates that the ma
tional election in NoGember will bring
forth an expression from the whole
mass of voters.-Chicago Record Gnd.).

Dryan on the wane.

The situation in which Bryan now
finds himself is unique in the political
annals of the United States. He is de-
serted by nearly all of the great demo
cratic newspapers, and by strikingly
large proportion of the ablest demo-
cratic leaders. The populists, Disguised
by the discourteous treatment he has
given their candidate for vice president,
are on the eve of q gigantic revolt. He
is discredited in his own state, and re-
pulsed in the great Empire state. He
has not dared to invade New England,
where the voice of the people is to be
heard in September. He iswithout per-
sonal following. His arguments have
been overthrow. His statements are
discredited. He is political prophet
without honor in his own country or
any other. He is plainly, waging los
ing contest. and unless all good signs
fail he will be defeated at the polls in
November next by majority more over
whelming even than that which en-
quilted Greedy and the democratic party

with the pleasant conversation for
which he was noted After a time the
man began to grow impatient, and, re-
