IF BRYAN rs ELEcrED No. 4.

Let us eximine soms OF MIR. BRYAN's
promises and arguments and compara
them with their unavoidable results.
Mr.. BRYAN promises that his election
will give us the benefits OF bimttsiism.
In his speech accepting the nomin tion
he said: "Ii IN November the people by
their ballots declare themselves in favor
Cf the immediate restoration OF bime,al
llsm, the system can be inaugurated
within a few months"
What Is bimetallism Obi u'eaning two,
and metal II not two metals in use In
the currency OF county (spart from
debased subsidiary ccin)?
II a country has gold alone in it's cur
rency, clearly that would not be bimeial-
lism, bot gold recommendation.
SO, 10 a country had silver alone and
no gold in use in It's currency, clearly II
would not have bimstallism, but silver
InonOmetolllsm.
II, on the other hand, country bad
silver and gold both in use In its currency
that country woold certainly have prac-
tical oimetalllsm.
This Is what Mr. BRYAN promises us
gold and silvor both IN use In our cur.
reDcy.
BuI we have seen that 10 the mints are
opened TO the free coinage of silver, t.,
heing the cheaper metal, would drive out
the gold. and we should he left with
only silver for currency. This, as we
ssvo ssen. would not be biinetsllisu, but
silver monomeislllsm.
Therefore, although Mr BRYAN

A Sensible Suggestion.

Washington. oct 29.--In his annual
report to the secretary of the navy.
Commodore Hichborn. chief of the con-
struction bureau. calls attention TO the
serious delays ana inconvenience that
have resulted from the lack of an ade-
quate stock of materials to make re-
pairs TO ships, and asks that congress
be requested TO authorize the allotment
of Sl.500000 for the requirement OF such
a stock This will not require an addi-
tional appropriation, but simply enable
the bureau to purchase its stores in
bulk, instead Of driblets.

POstels at Oakland Beach.

Owing TO the interest manifested In
the Postel case 1t may be OF some interest
to know that Albert X. Postel and his
wife spent part of the summer OF '95
at the Oakland Beach Hotel. Mr.. and
Mrs. Postel were prime favorites with
the guests and created the impression
that they W ere decidedly wealthy.
Postel was a fluent conversationaIist
and told many stories full of Information
foreign countries. 10 all appearances he
and his wife were on the best of terms
and the news Of Mrs. Postels' death by
poison was a severe shock to the friends
he had made.

rrlondIy with All bur Turkey

Belfast, Oct. 29.-The Marquis Of Duff
ferin. lately retired from the post Of Brit
ish ambassador at Paris. was accorded
a banquet here last night,'at which he
made a speech. He declared that, owing
to his age and deafness. he had definitely
retired from official life. Although Eng
land was not loved, the marquis said, she
had no dispute with any nation of Eu-
rope, except Turkey. The salvation OF
the Armenians, he asserted, cannot be
found In any scheme applied TO the Ar
menians alone, but in reforms giving
protection 10 all Turkish subjects. The
marquis also expressed the hope that the
United States and England would be
the first TO practically apply the prin-
ciple of arbitration 10 the settlement o.

metals serving as mediums OF exchange,
or money. under that single standard,
Just as we now have beth GOLD and silver
serving as money, or medium OF ex-
change for articles bought and sold under
the single gold measure cor standard.)
Indeed, ii is impossible to have the two
standards of value in operation at the
same time, because silver tiuctuates SO
much that even il the ratio of value be-
tween it and gold was exactly fixed today
(in order TO make the two standards or
measures and their respective. coins ex-
actly equal in value. so that both coins
could circulate side by side) by tomorrow
the price OF silver would have changed,
and the equality of the standards being
destroyed, the cheaper coins would drive
OFT the dearer, just as the silver dollar
in 1892. when Ii was per cent. cheaper
than the gold dollar, drove the latter out
of circulation until 1884, and just as the
gold dollar in 1884, when Ii was 3 per
cent. cheaper than the silver dollar, drove
all the silver dollars out of circulation un-
til 1850, and instead OF having bimetal-
lism, we should thus be immediately re-
duced TO monometallism.
HENcE 1T Is CLEAR THAT IN ORDER TO
HAVE BIMETALLIsM IN PRACTICAL UsE
WE MUST HAVE RuT SINGLE MEASURE
COR srANDARD) OF VALUE, with the otner
metal adjusted in some way to that
STANDARD, cit her as our silver dollars now
are TO the gold dollars, or as the silver
francs of France are to the gold francs,
or in some other way, by international
agreement or otherwise; and furthermore
tnRt the measure (or stsndard) Of value
chosen, should preferably De not tiuctu-
sting silver, but steady gold.
Moreover, it is perfectly clear that b.
aETALLisM DOES NOT INvoLvE ABAN-
DOMINO THE GOLD Standard; that the
GOLD STANDARD DOESN'T NECEsssARILY
MEAN GOLD MoNoMETALLIsM; and that
there Is NO INCONSISTENCY WHATEVER IN
ADVOCATING THE GOLD STANDARD AND
ALSO BIMErALLIsM WITH 1T.

Harry Clay Blancy. who is this season

seen as the boy, Phony Dice. and by
all accounts has made the greatest hit
of his career. He will be remembered
as having made the deepest impress

Blancy is supported by an excellent
company, including some of the most
prominent vaudeville artists on the
stage today, including the Misses
ONeill and Sutherland, Allyn and
Lingard, Laura Bennett, Flora Evans,
the Wellesley College Quartet and
Miss Marga:es Hobart. a niece of the
Republican nominee for vice presi-

the company are Frank Young, the

The property involved amounted to

are rapidly growing worse the longer
the gold standard is continued. 1t is
no use to lay it to the tariff til k ,ring
for the present tariff law furnis hes
more revenue than did the Mckinley
tariff and under it there are more ex.
ports and less imports. 1t is no use
to say high tariff will start up fac
tories and stimulate commerce be-
cause we have already a surfeit Of rro-
ducts Of all kinds and those who need
them must be enabled to consume
them before there can be a market
for more. 1t is more money in circu-

way to get it is to elect an admins

are boarding money see that money is
growing cheaper and all other things
dearer they will go to inves ting;
building and other improvements will
start, men will have work and can
then buy what the farmer and manu-
lecturer has to sell. Commerce is
blocked and more money is the only
key that will unlock the blockade
