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

Mr.. Bryan states that he believes the
free coinage of silver, by our govern
ment alone, at the ratio of 16 to 1,
would raise the price of silver to $1.2D
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 it will be conceded by Mr.,
Bryan and his adherents that the price
of silver bullion in this country cannot
be affected without Mt the same time
rise in the price will apply to all silver,
whether in bars or wares as we'll as in
coin. throughout the world.
The figures / shall give, except those
showing the production of silver since
1892. are all taken from n report sub
mitted by Mr.. Voorhees,, free silver
advocate. on behalf of the finance COM
which report is entitled "Coinage Laws
of the United States from 1892 to 1891.
with an Appendix Relating to Coins and
Currency; Fourth Edition. Revised and
Corrected to August 1. 1904. Prepared
Under the Direction of the Committee"
According. to that report. page 20.
the production of silver in the world
from 1893 to 1892 amounted to 1922
507.11G ounces. and there has been pro-
duccd since 1899 about 6OO, O,o0O.OOO
ounces in round numbers. Add this to
the other sum and we have total of
s.122.5O7.71G ounces. have no data
showing the production of silver prior to
1893, and hence cannot give the fig
ures; but l think it may be safely as
sumed that it amounted to as much as
the whole amount of silver that has been
lost or destroyed. In order to he sure
that we are on the right side. however,
let us deduct 122,5O7. ZIG ounces. and
state the present supply of silver in its
various forms in the world at S,OOO,-
100000 ounces; This is worth 66 cents
per ounce. or $5.2S0UO0, 600 in the ag-
gregate. To this, according to Mr.
Bryan's opinion, the legislative fat of

THE MAN OF HER LIFE
Strange star, Of the Late Susie &. Ashley
Of Chicago.

Of Chicago.
CHICAGO, Oct. o-The OF
the life OF Susie G. Ashley was brought
to light yesterday by the fling Of an
inventory OF her estate in the probate
court.
Mrs Ashley recently conducted a
barbershop at 50 West Madison street
and many OF her patrons, who in the
days gone by may have wished TO

vans would have felt ~pardonablo
pride, doubtless, IL they had known
that the razor which 80 deity moved
their boards was welded by the hand
OF a woman who had had the much
coveted honor OF being formally pre-
scented to the queen Of England at a
court reception.
When Mrs. Ashley died her estate
was at first supposed to be worth
about Sc, 900, and the probate court
fixed the administrators bond at
5000. Search of the house, however,
resulted in the finding a receipt for
the rental OF a salty deposit box.
When the box was opened II vas found
to be empty. Then another and more
thorough search OF the premises was
made, and in an old cupboard stocks
and bonds worth $1,000 were found.
These assets consisted mostly OF rail.
road securities. After this discovery
the bond OF the administrator was in.
creased to SAL 900.
Susie Ashley was the daughter Of n
wealthy citizen OF Massachusetts who
died about twenty wears ago, leaving
an estate worth 500, GOO. Susie's
share OF the property was $50, 900.
She ffterward became the wife of J..
E. White, who held several important
government positions Mt different
times. She became quite a social ia.
vorite and travelled extensively IN for
cign countries with her husband. On
one OF their visits to England, Mrs.
White was formally presented to the
queen, q rare honor at that time for
