Many or the statements made by Can
dliate William j. Bryan in his carefully
prepared speech for free silver are being
riddled by the business men Of this town
who say that the Boy Orator based his
theories upon assertions which are PAL
pably Incorrect. A sample Of his argu-
ments is the contention that under the
gold standard railroad rates have not
been reduced 10 keep pace with falling
prices. Easily obtainabie statistics show
that the contrary is true. on this point
President T.. b. Thomas, Of the Erie
railroad said yesterday:
There has been a continued and
general reduction IN freight rates in
this country during the last twenty-five
years. Take. for instance. the cost Of
shipping wheat between Chicago and New
York. I'm tsp. the year before the de-
monetization OF silver. the rate was 1880
cents In 1872 IL was 1850. IN 1892 4.23.
and last year n was l2.T. The pra.
portionate reduction has been greater.
therefore. than the fall in the price Of
wheat in the same time.
"The same thing holds true OF other
agricultural products. In 1878 the rate
ON cattle east bound was 80 cents. on
provisions 90. and on corn 40. Now the
rates are Is 30 and Is cents. Nowhere
else in the world are freghts carried as

BEFORE leaving New York, Candidate
BRYAN. standing in the doorwa yof Mr.
st. Johns residence. said that he was
glad that the newspapers had not CALI
"a him an Anarchist. This was a very
unnecessary cause Of JOY, and nobody
ought TO have known II more perfectly
well than Candidate Bryan himself.
None Of the papers, 50 far as we
know, have, despite the Chicago PLATFORM
called Candidate Bryan an Anarchist ana
only day or two ago We SAID that Bryan
would doubtless have disapprovcd Oh the
CARRYING OF the red flags in the pro-
cession that greeted him in Chicago.
We know full well that the great body
Of Virginians who are enthusiastic over
the free coinage OF silver, and who, in
their zeal for that cause, have been be-
trayed into the endorsement Of extreme
and undemocratic propositions. are not
imbued with any spirit Of anarchy, nor
have they lost faith in me established
institutions OF our Government.
We do say. however, with all candor
and confidence. that the platform adopt
ed at Chicago bears the imprint Of the
hand Of Altgeld. and receives the support
OF those whose atrocities at the
Haymarket, in Chicago. stamped them
as enemies Of our country and is form
Of government.
Mr.. Bryan in his long speech entirely
ignored the Altgeld plank in the plat
form. lie neither attempted 10 explain
nor defend It..
We wish 10 repeat. however. that
while we are unfterably opposed to
the Chicago platform. and to the can
didatos who declare their purpose to aid
in making its provisions law we hoid
closely 10 our Democratic friends who
for the time being are training under an
undemocratic leadership. We have no
idea OF saying or doing anything which
viii prevent the reunion Of all Demo
Gratis upon a platform which Will be
founded upon unquestionable Democratic
principles.
When the present Tyranny IS over
past" We look for a reassombling OF
Democrats, but not on any such fopu-
ustic and irrational pronunciameh'o as
the Chicago platform.
That blot upon our party must De
wir4d out and atoned for.

Warren 3. Hooker. a member OF Con-
eress from New York. said 10 a reportes
in Washington last Friday:
Il attended the Bryan notification meet
ing and am not in the least actuated boy
partisan bias IN prouOlncns H. a fail
ure. Having served in Congress with
Bryan and being well disposed towards
him personally. L would have been glad
10 see him make a cro1itable showing.
But the fact is that the meeting was not
\ success. there was some degree oi
cheering, but the audience was al no time
carried away with enthusiasm. The
reading Of his speech Was big mistake,
and the feWest number of lis audience
listened with any degree of interest.
There was big crowd, OF course. but
the gathering y'ns local. The surround
ing States failed to send any representa-
tive delegations, a very curious thing I'm
view of the Importance Of the occasion.
The leaders or the New York stats
Democracy were conspicuous By their alb
sence."
"What chance has Bryan TO carry New
York;
80 more than the camel 20 got through
the eye Of needle. Mckinley will win
in the State by 10000 majority. I think
that Bryan's strength in New York ctr
has been vastly Oyerratel. Tie viii he
lucky TO carry the city by 5000. ] thinh
that his strength everywhere has been
magnihed and that from now ON the free
silver fad viii wane. I'm November it Will
be buried too deep for resurrection"
We have learned from Democrats Of our
own acquaintance who were present at
the meeting that this report Of
it IS correct. II was dead
fat failure. The crowd was large
at the beginning. it is true. but il
began to leave in 1--WE minutes after BY
an commenced speaking and it continued
TO pour out of the building until there
was only d very small audience left.
1t made noises Of ali sorts from the
start, and, in a short time il was impos-
sible 70 hear Mr. Bryan at any distance
from the stage. Altogether the anaiS
was an utter failure and presages fairly
enough the overwhelming defeat he is
geing 10 receive IN November.

then. can a true Democrat who refuses

he was himself no Democrat? When a

because gold and silver are limited
both in the quantity now IN hand and
in the annual production, 1t ioto"s
that legislation can fix the ratio be-
tween them. ANY purchaser who stands
ready to take the entire supply OF any
Given article at a certain price can pre-
vent that article from falling below
that price"
Observe. he says that the United states

Of common sense? It is estimated that
there are. perhaps. ten thousand millions
or dollars worth Of silver Cat the ratio
OF ls 20 y in the world. and the mines
are pouring II ont IN an ever-increasins
supplv. Mr.. Bryan declares that this
country alone can lift this immense
quantity Of silver from its present mar

dollars 10 a market value OF ten thou

as that 10 be President Of the United

Of silver. OF course. would rise, but not
TO 90 pence and not permanently. The
United States would have 4 standard not
materially different from that OF Mexico.
