THE gold press gets off some really
amusing arguments. The Milwaukee
Sentinel tells US that a few years ago
potatoes were worth one dollar per
bushel and that for this reason far
mers abandoned wheat and corn and
put their energies to raising potatoes
For this reason, the Sentinel says.
we now have the ''free coinage of
potatoes. In other words. the
Sentinel fears that in case of the cleo
ton of Bryan every farmer will SOW
silver broadcast over his farm and
thereby produce an ''overproduction >
Ii the farmers abandoned wheat and
corn, as the Sentinel claims, it would
seem that while there is an over
production of potatoes there would
be an underproduction of the aban-
doned products. From the best in.
formation we can obtain, corn and
wheat are about as cheap as potatoes.
Neither will pay the cost of produc-
ton.

There is little article going the
rounds of the gold standard press to
the effect that the city of Canton,
McKinleys home, cannot dispose Of
her bonds, issued to raise funds for
public improvements, because of the
anticipation of possible repudia-

vocates have concluded that the sill

there is an anticipation of possible
Reputation ?"
We noticed the squib in the Cape
Democrat and it goes on to explain that
"the brokers writing to the city clerk,
explain the whole matter when they
say "there is no market for bonds. "
If this statement be true, then the
silver agitation has accomplished at
least one good point. 1t has brought
bonds and stocks down on a level
with farm products. Then is it any
wonder that the holders of bonds and
stocks are bowling?

THE JUDGE REPLIES.

They have organized Bryan club
at Commerce and our old friend Judge
William Ballentinc is president of the
club. We are panied to learn that
Judge Ballentine has gone wrong.
We knew that he had announced that
he was off the track-that he was an
advocate of free silver, but we could
never have been persuaded to believe
tliat he would gat SO far away from
the Republican party as to consent
TO b2come president of Il Bryan club.
But it seems we have been disap-
pointed. The man who loved Lincoln,
the man who worshiped the Republi-
can party, the man whose very ma
ture made him patriot, has gone
off after a wild west Show-a false
prophet-abandoned the principles
that guided him through the years OF
he prime of life and placed him in
the front rank of able, thinking men
abandoned the walks of his best
years, the associations of his better
days, to travel on dangerous ground
and camp with strange men. What
is the world coming to? Will wick.
