WHY Not Make It Unanimous.

From the Chicago Post.
Now comes Chief Arthur, of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, and head of one of the strong
est labor unions in the United States,
and says that 100 per cent of the rail-
road men of America would vote for
Mckinley and sound money"
This comes on top of the statement
that between 90 and 95 per cent of the
travelling statesmen of the country are
travelling apostles of the gospel of
Mckinley and sound money.
Then there are the Germans, of
whom it is believed more than 90 per
cent are for Mckinley and sound
money.
So, too, of all Americans of Scandi-
navian and Scotch descent. Ditto of
the successful, non-political sons of
Britain and Ireland. Ninety per cent
of them are for Mckinley and sound
money.
More than 90 per cent of the news
papers of the United States are either
out-and-out for Mckinley and sound
money or against Bryan and Repudia-
tion.
The question arises, why stick at
90 per cent?
Why not make it unanimous?

A Maudlin Leader.

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
At Buffalo, N Y, Mr.. Bryan said:
1--WE tell you that we believe that the
free coinage of silver will create de-
mand for silver which will make the
Mexican dollar worth more than 100
cents at the mint of the United
States and throughout the world.
You ask how it can be done. 1t can
be done by applying to silver the same
law that you apply to wheat and corn
and oats. If any person in your COM
munity would stand ready to take all
the wheat brought to his Office at 81
buShel nobody in this community
would sell his wheat for less than a
dollar a buShel."
Mr.. Bryan makes complete confu-
sion of supply and demand.
When the government of the Unit
ed States agreed to buy what was
practically the entire American pro-
duct of silver there was created de-
mand. But the dollars into which
the silver was made were the property
of the United States. The govern
ment bought the silver at the market
price The dollars it raised artificial
ly or conventionally with its own
credit to 100 cents each.
Under the free and unlimited coin
age of silver there will be created
merely an unlimited supply. The
government will have nothing to dc
with the silver except to return it,
equivalent in certificates or dollars tt
the persons presenting the silver fol
coinage. The credit of the govern
ment, which keeps the present stool
of silver dollars at par with gold, will
not attach to silver dollars when tn.
dollars are not coined for the govern
ment, but belong to private persons
The new silver dollars, therefore
would be worth exactly their value al
found by the price per ounce of silvel
bullion the day the dollars themselve
or the paper representing them reach
ed a counter
No distinction could be palmer be

tween supply and demand than APP
pears between limited coinage of sill
yer on government account plus gov
eminent credit raising the dollars at
par, and unlimited coinage of silver
on private account minus government
credit or anything else to affect in
the slightest degree the value of such
dollars as regulated by the market
price of the pure silver in the coin at
the time minted.
That is to say, the government sill
yer dollars represented demand. The
Bryan silver dollars will represent
simply supply, and that supply with
out limit.
By what process of reasoning can
any rational man discover that under
such circumstances silver dollars will
be worth 100 cents each or silver S1.29
per ounce.
The Democratic party is to be
pitied 1t has maudlin leader.
Mr.. Bryan says: IF any person in
your community would stand ready to
take all the wheat brought to his
Office at a dollar bushel nobody in
this community would sell his wheat
for less than dollar bushel." But
who stands ready to take all the sill
yer in the world at a fixed price:
Where is the person? Whom or what
does Mr.. Bryan mean by the person
in this case? Is there anybody offer
ing to take all the silver in the world
at $1.29 an ounce or at any other
price?
On the contrary, free and unlimited
coinage means that the silver dollars
so created shall be absolutely and ex-
clusively the property of as many doz-
ems or hundreds or thousands or tens
of thousands or hundreds of thousands
of different individuals as may present
silver bullion at the assay office of
minis of the United States to be coin
ed into dollars to be returned to them
as their private property.
Is not this the fact? Who is the
''person" Mr.. Bryan means that stands
ready to take all the silver in the
world as some ''person" might take
all the wheat?
