time on the stump he is shouting that
as silver goes up and down. so do wheat

narkable. contradiction Of the orator,
for wheat went from its low level to
81 30, and 81 55 for milling, early in
October while in the same time silver
fell from 681a to 65A, and cotton rose
from Z 3-6 to 8 So. or course it will
be dead easy to explain this refutation

In 1892 the national Democratic plat

agreement for the free coinage Of sill
yer and the establishment of an inter-
national ratio. It was added that this
or some other plan ought to be
adopted. It then refused to indorse
free coinage ait 16 to 1 as the "other
plan" In 1896, however in its greedy
desire to get it's foot into the feed
trough, It has swallowed the 16 to !
fallacy and shouts that international
agreement, which 1T approved In 1892,
is subserviency to England and slav-

William McKinley's life work has all

Mr.. Bryan in one Of his Kentucky
speeches said that an offer to buy all
the eggs in the land at twenty-five
cents a dozen, backed by ability to do
it, would make eggs worth twenty five
cents. Now, said he, free coinage will
make silver worth 81 % an ounce be-
cause it will establish the market price.
Indeed! Would it? Take the egg prop
osition and mark the price of eggs to
81 %, and the reasoning is just as logi-
cal. Why stop with eggs and silver?
Why not make orders by law that will
send every price Of every commodity
bcoming? But, replies Mr.. Bryan, it
will be the increased demand for silver
that will raise the price. So, then, we
are to trust to your belief that the in
creased demand will not be met by a
corresponding increase In the volume of
supply.

Cotton from 1866 to 1873, while we
had free coinage Of silver, shrunk from
S416 80 bale to $94 bale. The fall

The Detroit Tribune Is a Bryan
paLsr. 1t is a rabid free coiner to In
dividual account. It is a powerful
paper and one of great courage. Hear
it.:
It is true that under an era Of higher
prices fixed salaries will not go so far
as now, but now they go too far, and
their purchasing power ought to be re-
duced. These salaries were mostly es-
tablished before the hard times set In,
and now represent vastly more than
was intended when the salaries were
created.
What do men on salaries think of
that? VIII not wage earners be able to
see that the same argument applies to
wages also? Do wage earners think It
just the right thing to reduce the pur-
chasing power of their wages?

AN EXPENSIVE CONSTRUCTION
A Master Stroke Made by the Atlantic
and Pacific Railway
System.

PHOENIX, ARR, Jan. 1.-The railroads
of Arizona will soon connect her with the
new Southwest. Soon will those robust
arms of civilization bring to her feet the
markets of the world, for, while other
States and Territories have been talking OF
their rich possessions and what they will
do with them, Arizona has been steadily
forging links of material worth. The work
has been done so quietly that the rest OF
the world, scarce suspecting her onward
march, is yet calling her a geological
garden, where rattlesnakes and Gila mon
sters thrive. Little does it know that Ari-
IONA built more miles of cleaning steel
and sturdy crossties last year than any
other subdivision of the Union. Little
does it know that other and grander enter
prises are now maturing In the brains of
men. The old "Hassayampers" have been
hard at work, though the sounding of Gym
balls and the blare of trumpets have not
heralded the upward march of their brawny
ranks.
The result has been that in the past year
194 miles of railroad, costing untold thou
sands. have been built, and the end is not
yet. With envious eyes has the Southern
Pacific looked upon that stroke of enter
prise by which the Atlantic and Pacific
Railroad, a part of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe system, secured, through the
Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix Railway, a
line which it (the Atlantic and Pacific
now controls, the lions share of Phoenix,
and consequently Arizona, passenger
traffic. For years has the Southern Pa
cific resisted the entertainments of any
railroad not controlled by it, and the con-
sequence of this policy so long pursued,
is that it is now contemplating right-of-
way grabs that will startle the people of
Arizona as soon as they awake to the full
significance OF recent events.
The preparations for securing Southern
Pacific franchises have been made with
the utmost secrecy, but when Coils P.
Huntington condescended to submit to
the discomforts of long ride over the
Arizona desert, through which his railroad
runs, in order to inspect the work of con-
struction upon the ella Valley, Globe and
Northern Railroad, those who knew him
knew he was on no pleasure trip, for
Bowie station, where he stopped for two
or three days, is not the most cheerful
spot in the world. 1t Is, however, the

and Northern.
To begin at the beginning-always a
good plan in a case of this kind-it VIII be
seen by referring to the map that the ella
Valley, Globe and Northern Railroad is
only sixty-two miles in length and runs
from Bowie station to Fort Thomas. Its
present prospective terminus is Globe,
which Will make it when finished lao
miles in length. The last Congress granted
this road right of way through the San
Carlos Reservation on condition that the
Apaches be paid for their land. Pending
the negotiations construction work is not
being pushed just now. Much is heard of

demned, that the Indians should be made

says that the aggregate of colored church
members in the United States is, in round
mum bers, 2674 900, distributed as follows
Baptists, /, 403, $50; Methodists, 1,190,638;
Presbyterians, 10000; Disciples of Christ,
1888, and Protestant Episcopal and Re-
formed Episcopal together, somewhat less
than 5000. According to the census fig
ures there has been an increase of l, $50, 900
colored church members during the last
thirty years. which DR.. Carroll thinks is
unparalleled in the history of the Chris
tian church. The value of negro church
property is $26 ,626, 900, and the number OF
edltices is %, 700.
