from his shoulders, and his wheat at
home would sell for the silver equiva-
lent of the London gold prices.
But this silver equivalent would buy
more. not less, than now. The only in
crease in general domestic prices would
be the gradual rise which follows the
expansion or the currency. This expan-
sion under silver would be a limited one,
as the supply of silver Immediately
available is limited. Indeed, it may be
doubted whether in the first year there
would be any material increase in prices
except in those of such agricultural
products as have their prices fixed in
London. But the present steady decline
in prices, due to gold monometallism
would be checked, while the increased
demand for all manufactured goods, due
to the improved purchasing power of the
farmers, would stimulate production
and multiply opportunities for employ
ment.
Under free coinage workingmen will
earn more dollars, and there will not be
53-cent dollar in the lot

WILLFUL FABRTCATIONS

A considerable portion of the Republi-
can press is deliberately pursuing the
most dishonest course to make capital
against Mr.. Bryan. Not content with
scurrilous abuse and the meanest mud
Singing, some of Hanna's organs have
stopped to infamous falsehood and
continued to shamefully grovel therein
despite continued correction. The Los
Angeles Times has endeavored to main
tain its reputation as champion falsi-
fer, and has never missed the prominent
publication of any canard against Bryan
that came within its reach. Ten days
ago the Times had the impudence to at
tribute to Mr.. Bryan an article on pen
siOns, entitled "A Great Deficiency" pub
liShed in the Omaha World Herald on
November Is, 1892. The Herald promptly
furnished indisputable evidence that
the article was not written by Mr.. Bryan,
but the Times continued to glory in it's
infamy, and twice republished its scoun-
drel lie. The common decency OF a re-
traction was not expected from such a
source, but even Otis shameless char
acter was not thought vile enough to
deliberately repeat plainly proven
falsehood
The vile trick of foising upon Mr..
Bryan the responsibility for articles that
he had absolutely nothing whatever to
do with is becoming altogether too COM
mon, and it has even been attempted
in most foolhardy fashion in his own
state. A Nebraska paper prints an ar
ticle advocating free coinage at 25 to 1,
and says the article was taken from an
editorial published in the Omaha World
Herald August 8, 1893, over the signature
of w. ]. Bryan"
This" says the Omaha World Her
aid, sis an absurd falsehood and the
good people of Beatrice ought to under
stand that the Beatrice Express is guilty
of deliberate falsehood. Mr. Bryan be-
came editor of the World Herald Sep
TENDER 1, 1894. and prior to that date
he had never written line for this pa
per. What dependence can the people
place in publication that resorts to
such miserable Misrepresentation as
the gold organs are resorting to in these
days?"
Inv queStioii plopouIiueu ny the UNA
ha World-Herald has peculiarly appro-
pirate application to the Los Angeles
Times Over and over again in this cam
paign the Times has proved itself a
willful and shameless propagation of
falsehoods, conscious of their untruth
at the time of their utterance. and stick
ing to them despite their refutation. In
telligent men cannot n ford tn he mis-
led by the perpetual lying of the Times
and honest men are revolted at it's dis
reputable methods.

THE 53.CENT DOLLAR

The puerile prattle concerning mys-
teal 53-cent dollar that the Republican
press has been playing as a perpetual
Joker" to deceive the thoughtless has
about exploded, but the following ex-
position of it's fallacy in the New York
Journal is so convincing that it is here
with reproduced:
Strenuous effort is made to convince
workingmen that in the event of Bry-
ans election, wages will be paid in a
dollar with purchasing value of only
SO cents. Let us see how far this is true
This contention of Mark Hanna and
other friends of labor is based on tw D
theories. They hold, first. that the gov
eminent stamp and the legal tender
quality conferred on the silver dollar
will give it no higher purchasing power
than the bullion itself would have I'M
coined. AS the bullion is worth today
only about SO cents, they insist the free
coinage dollar would be worth only SO
cents. Suppose we accept their theory
as to the worthlessness of the govern
ment stamp, and consider only the eff
feet of free coinage upon the value of
silver bullion.
Under free coinage the United States
government would establish a fixed
and an unlimited demand for silver at
price of $1.29 per ounce, payable in sill
yer dollars. The man who took to the
mint 371h grains of pure silver would
get silver dollar. The supply of silver
is fixed by nature, not by mans ac-
tivities. and the increased demand
and absolutely unlimited demand, made
by great and always solvent purchas-
er, would instantly raise the price of the
bullion to the mint price. The silver
smith, who now absorbs a great part
of the annual output-nearly five-sixths,
it is estimated-would then be obliged to
pay the government price. The bullion
in dollar would be worth and salable
for 81 everywhere-less the cost of car
riage to the United States mint.
But, say the goldites, the silver or
gans declare that prices would at once
double, and that is equivalent to saying
that the purchasing value Of the dollar
would be halved. If the workingman
must pay 81 for what he now gets for 81,
it is immaterial to him whether you say
prices have risen or his dollar depre-
ciated.
No well-equipped advocate of free
silver argues that all prices in the do
nestle market will be doubled. They
Will rise, for reasons hereafter to be
explained, but very gradually. The only
prices which will instantly rise will be
those fixed in the London market for
American food products in competition
with silver standard countries. Today
the Argentine farmer who gets 81 cents
in gold standard for his wheat in Lon
don turns 1t into $1.34 in silver, worth
to him at home its face value in pur-
chasing ability. The American farmer
comes back with his 81 cents only. With
fhe. United States, on q bimetallic bass,
this heavy haudicap would be removed

A CAMPAIGN OF COERCION.

The Los Angeles Herald makes the
announcement that it has received reli-
able information that certain transport
tation lines are using proscriptive meth
DDS to suppress its sale through news
boys and news agents-because they
discountenance the saleI of literature
pertaining to Bryan or silver" The
Herald expresses surprise at this con-
duct. The Herald should come up the
coast apiece and learn from masters of
the art how thousands of workmen are
being threatened with discharge from
employment If caught patronizing silver
literature, attending silver gatherings,
or speaking in behalf of free coinage.
But let The Herald take courage. for
such conduct will prove to be boomer
ang-producing greater harm to the per-
petrators than to the parties attacked
