Not many miles from New Bedford is a

upon it in white. On examination 1t proves
to be built Of tho pow doors from dis

BRYAN TO THE STUDENTS.
The Nebraska Silver Champion Talks to
Chicago University Young Men.

The Nebraska Silver Champion Talks to
Chicago University Young Men.
1t will do tho students of this univer-
sity no harm to hear the bimetallic side
of the financial question in order that
they may compare the views of the BIZ
metallist with the views presented by
Professor Laughlin, whom 1 consider
the ablest economic writer on the gold
standard side i'll the United States 1
shall compliment him by taking as my
text the following words, found on page
of his work ON bimetallism "Monc-
metallists do not, as is often said, be-
heve that gold remains absolutely stable
i'll value. They hold that there is 10
such thing as standard Of value for
future payments in either gold or silver
which remains absolutely invariable. -
In the same connection he recognizes
that purchasing power is the test of
honesty i'll Is dollar, because he says that
justice in long time contracts should DO
sought for in a multiple standard rather
than i'll recommendation or bimetallism
The question at issue is not which sys-
tenn Is perfect, but rather which system
gives us the nearest approach to stabil-
ity in the purchasing power of tho dol
lar.
When we ask for the free and unlimit-
ed coinage OF gold and silver. at the pres
ent legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting
for the aid or consent of any other coun-
try on earth, we are simply asking for
the restoration Of the financial system
which existed i'll the United States prior
to 1873. When gold becomes more valu-
able because Of increased demand, gen.
eral prices mus, fall and falling prices
injurc debtors by decreasing the purchas-
ing power of the products with which
they bny money and also depress bust
ness by making investments in prop
erty less profitable. Sixteen to ono is the
proposed ratio because the fall in the
value Of silver bullion when measured
by gold is due to hasty legislation which
has increased tho demand for gold and
decreased tho demand for silver Those
who own money and trade In 1t are in
terested in having money scarce and
dear. Those who arc producers Of wealth
are interested i'll having enough money
to keep prices from falling. Which side
are yen on?

Some Suggestions For the "soboolmast.-

that he was "schoolmaster of tho NJ.

that this pedagogue will not give tho

clared that the Conspiracy to destrov
silver as money metal would ultimate
~ entail moro misery upon the human
race than all the wars, pestilence and
famine that ever occurred in the history
of the world"
incidentally the schoolmaster might
tell the class what he thinks of that

prophecy is being fulfilled. When he
next calls up his geography class. this
pedagogue ought to explain to the form.
or boys why tho wealth of tho country is
SO rapidly concentrating in tho eastern
money centers, while the farms of the
west are so thoroughly plastered with
mortgages; also why the producers of
corn, wheat, cotton and silver arc in
such hard lines, while bankers and cou
pom clippers are so prosperous. When the
class in history pext rac;+oc 49,; ;,,
trlous pedagogue might explain why
JEFFERSON and Jackson entertained and
advocated such ridiculous notions con-
corning metal money and national banks.
DE might explain whether he doesn't
think our Revolutionary sires were great
tools to want to be FREQ and independent.
whether it would not have been q great
saving of blood and treasure for this
country to have remained tributary to
Great Britain and whether it isn't nd
visable to abolish the United States
treasury and place the management of
our finances directly and openly, instead
of secretly, i'll the hands of the Roths-
childs and their agents.
Finally this schoolmaster of the ma
ton might select for his next morning
scripture lesson some passages giving
the history of certain Biblical char
acter who hanged himself and explain
to the school what Senator Tillman
meant by referring to the present secre-
tary of the treasury as Judas from

suggestions. If the pedagogue shows
himself properly grateful for these, wo
have moro to offer. Silver Knight
