GARFIELD ROT.

Never has a candidate been subjected
to more humiliating exposures than w.
/. BRYAN. and he alone is responsible
for it. In the first place a man OF ma
TIRE Judgment would not have under
taken the rear platform, country school
house campaign he has made since
the moment he found he was nominal
ed. 1t would he a man of rare tact ana
greater ability than young Mr.. bryan
wh) could talk increasingly for four
months and not say many foolish
things. Had this been his guiding pur-
pose. nobody would question that he
has succeeded to his full satisfaction.
Among the silly declarations in his
many silly speeches is his charge that
President Harrison, in his message to
congress in 1890, endorsed the present
Democratic platform on silver. 4 more
stupid falSehood he could hardly have
uttered. There is not line. word CT
a punctuation point in that message
that can be construed TO recommend
the free and unlimited coinage OF sill
yer &c to 1. There was nothing AM
bisuous nor in anywiSe inconsistent
with the Republican idea of bimetallic
money in that document. 1t is super
fucus. at this late day, to say that all
parties and all good citizens are favor
able 10 the largest possible use or sill
yer on a basis that can be maintained.
No other fair Interpretation can be
placed on the message referred TO, and
Mr.. Bryan knows it. His gratuitous
assumption that ex-President Harrison
is now gold monometallist TO the ex-
| clusion of silver is also a cleyerly con-
| ceiyed falsehood. General Harrison
position today is that Of the Republican
party. He endorses binetallism as we
! now have it. nothing more, nothing less
| Six hundred millions of silver in active
| circulation-or would be if confidence
had not been destroyed by Democratic
| legiSlation-is no hagatelle of our circu-
/ lating medium. No credit is due Mr..
! Bryan's party for this vast aggregate
! of silver money. Its coinage and cir
/ cllation has taken place under Repub-
hcan rule with the exception OF beg
/ carly supply of subsidiary coin in Use
/ prior TO 1860.
! NJ. Bryan also pretends to find a
mares nest in y speech delivered by
Major Mckinley in 1891. II is of the
same trend as the one he attributes TO
Harrison. and the charge IS equally
false. Mckinley's utterances are mat
tiers Of record. TO be construed by other
and more honest people than Mr.. Bry-
an. IN SO Sarbling this address he
states what he knows is not true. he
also deScendS 10 personalities, 4 thing
which Majar Mckinley has carefully

coinage platform without the aid or
consent of any other nation, and that
| he should ask the advice of Foreigner
President Bryan of the United States,
who would reply:
81 have always had prediction for
b;metalIsln, but l have not while in
! Office claimed my views of the matter
! 70 be infallibly true when advanced
against the views of experts. However
I hold that it would be advisable 10
bring about among the nations chiefly
engaged in the worlds commerce a mu-
tual agreement in favor of the estao-
lishment of bimetallism."
Considered from a commercial ana
industrial standpoint, the German
states are by far freer in their move
merts than other nations OF Europe,
and if they shall find it Incompatible
with their interests to take lndepenu-
ent action in the direction of bimetal-
lism. l believe that such action would
exert a most salutary influence upon
the contamination of an international
agreement and the coming into this
league of every other European nation
| and possibly the United States.

"P. S. / am told to go to school over
the currency issue but recognize that
although l acted in1SI3 on what re-
garded as the best advice, my action
was too precipitate in view OF the re-
splts that have followed. The fact that
the agrarian party in the United States
is vigorously urging the restoration OF
silver weighs with me and should
weigh any government situated as the
United States are. We cannot afford TO
estrange the farming class.
Young Bismarck would find this adj
vice of q foreigner very conclusive In
aid of his independent scheme for BIZ
metallism. 1t would appear that Bry-
ans guarded language looked to ANU
tual agreement Of bimetallism" which
would include "every European ma
tion;" that while he ''acted in 1873 on
what regarded as the best advice y

| perts," yet my action was too precipi-
tate" How would such apologize Ian

yersed. and Bismarck at the age of SO,

coinage at 16 to independent OF all ma

EXPORTING SILVER.

One cause of the gold IMPORTS or the
present time is the increased export or
silver While the government was IN
the business of booming silver-minlng
stocks by buying from 100000 to f.
900 900 ounces of silver a month, under
the Bland and Sherman acts, 1t bought
S494. coo 600 of silver coming value-Ihe
purchase of silver by the government
kept it from going abroad TO meet our
foreign obligations, and thus tended 10
force tae expectation OF gold. In the
period of silver purchases the average
NET export of silver was S1,500,O00; IN
The three years since the purchases
ended the average exports Of silver has
been nearly s30,O00000. In the first
year of the Sherman silver act, indeed,
there was net importation of silver
20 the amount of S2,T4a,365. In view of
rhc large merchandise balances IN our
favor while purchases Of silver were
going on, it is safe to say that the pur-
chases prevented hundreds Of millions
of gold from coming to US.

JUSTICE DONE GALVESTON.

The following from the New York
Tribune of October "a is due to inform
alton sent the Tribune by Mr. Tom
Richardson, secretary of the deep water
utilization committee: "We learn that
the Tribune was in error in stating
on October II, that the ceremony OF
presenting the magnificent silver serv-
ice to the battleship Texas given by the
citizens of Texas could not take place
at Galveston because the Texas draws
too much water to permit 1ts entering
the harbor of Galveston AS a matter
of fact. steamers drawing twenty-three
feet of water constantly cross the bar
which guards the Galveston harbor,
and as the Texas draws 221la feet it Will
find no difficulty in entering the harbor
While we regret that we fell into an
error. which we need hardly say was
unintentional we are glad that it gives
us an opportunity to congratulate the
CITY of Galveston and the great state OIL
Texas on the fact that the noble bat
tleship which bears the name or the
state will be able to enter the splendid
harbor of Galveston, where the citizens

Ex-Governor Campbell of Ohio recent
ly stated to several business friends
that the bottom had dropped out OF the
Bryan campaign This blunt con1es-
son of Overwhelming defeat for his
presidential candidate rather startled
those to whom Ohio'S last Democratic
governor made it, specially as he pref
sided over a Bryan meeting in ONO
only last week and introduced Bryan
TO the audience in enthusiastic phrase.
Governor Campbell went on TO say 10
his friends that he had managed 10
keep out of the papers during this cam
paign. and he proposed to do so untii
the end. To his Democratic friends,
however, Mr.. Campbell was frank in
his talk about the hopelessness OF bry-
ans cause, and he finally declared, IN
reply to an inquiry as to why he had
so little hope. that there was nothing
of the Popocratic canvass now but a
lot of talk.
