Free silver Doctors Disagree.

Presidential Candidate w. j. Bryan
declared in his speech in New York
city: II am firmly convinced that by
opening our mints to free and unlimited
coinage at the present ratio &c to y we
can create a demand for silver which
will keep the price of silver bullion at
S1.29 per ounce, measured in gold"
Judge w. s. Mccain, Of Little Rock,
free silver leader in Arkansas, differs
from Mr.. Bryan in his Interpretation of
the popocratic platform. II am some.
times asked" he says, "if I believe the
reconciliation of silver would increase
it's value so as to make the bullion in a
silver dollar equal to the present gold
dollar. answer no. If thought so,
would not waste time advocating the
restoration of the unlimited coinage of
silver. The sole object of remonetizing
silver, as I understand it, is to secure a
cheaper dollar with which to measure
and regulate prices"
Here are two eminent financial doc
tors who agree in prescribing big doses
of sixteen to one pills, but widely disa-
gree as to the results of the medicine.
When the leaders of the free coinage agi-
tation differ as to the effects of their
scheme, how can they expect the people
to believe that they know what they are
talking about?

"The Stamp of the Government"

Sit is true" confesses ,he silver men,
Mat the bullion value of the metal in
"a silver dollar is only SO cents. But put
the government stamp On it by free
coinage and you will raise the value of
it to 100 cents"
Senator John P. Jones, of Nevada,
one of the most conspicuous and most
able of all the silver advocates, speak
ing on April l., 1874, said: "The value
of gold is not affected by the stamp of
the government"
Everyone who has considered the
subject knows that this latter state
ment is true. The metal in gold dol
lar is worth exactly 100 cents, whether
it be stamped by the government or not.
Melt the dollar and run it into any other
form and its value remains unchanged.
If the stamp of the government does
not change the value of one metal, is it
reasonable to suppose it would change
that of another? Can it do any more
for silver than it does for gold? No.
The stamp of all the governments in
the world cannot make SO cents worth
of silver worth 100 cents any more
than they can make silk purse out OF q
sow's ear.-Exchange.

Some Facts for Farmers.

In 1877 the average value of the hay
crop in the United States was $3.50 per
ton. The following year it dropped to
$7.2o, and in 1879, the year next ensuing,
1T jumped up to $932 per ton.
Again: In 1891, when this country
was firmly on gold basis, the average
value of the hay crop was Ss.40 per ton
In 1892 it fell to s6.73 per ton, and in
1893 it rose to $s.6S per ton. Last year
the average value was $3.50 per ton.
Assuming that the fall in prices is
due to the 'crime of 1873" how are
these fluctuations to be accounted for :?
Will some Bryanite explain also why ii
Is that the average value of the hay crop
per ton was greater in 1895, when we
were on gold basis, than it was in
1878, when gold was at premium?
Hay has undoubtedly declined in price
since 1878, but why should it not have
done SO? Apart from cheaper methods
of production and cheaper rates of
transportation, the annual hay crop in
creased from 25,Os5,1OO tons in 1873 to
65,766.15s tons in 1893. Last year 1t
amounted to about 47,OOO.OOO.
At the same time the number of
horses in the United States increased
only from e,222, ,47O in 1873 to 1888, BIS
in 1895. It is estimated that there are
nearly 100000 fewer horses in this
country to-day than there were three
years ago.
These plain facts and figures should
not be hard to comprehend. Let the
farmer study them before he allows
himself to be hoodwinked by free silver
demagogism.

The government pays about $14O,-
100000 year to pensioners. The pay
ments last year were $141, 1,395,2
Every one of these dollars was worth
100 cents and equal to dollar in gold.
If the policy of the Chicago platform
and party should be made effective by
legislation, every dollar thereafter re-
ceived by pensioner would be worth
only SO cents. 1t would be called a dol
lar, but in the purchase of pension
er's supplies it would go only so far as
SO cents go now. The buying power OF
the pensioners monthly allowance, like
that of the depositor's money. still to be
paid out of the savings bank, and the
value of policies to be paid by life in
surance companies, would be reduced
by nearly one-half-N. Y. Times.

shows that others may become rich, and
hence is encouragement to industry and

Mr.. Bryan says railroad rates have
not been reduced to keep pace with
falling prices. In 1872 it cost 1875 cents
to take bpshel of wheat from Chicago
to the seaboard by rail, and in 1898 it
cost 12.17 cents. Even Mr.. Bryan will
not assert that average prices are less

Sc Major KYLE
Speaks to the Largest Gathering of Voters
Since the Opening Of the Campaign
A Comprehensive Discussion Of
the Political Issues.

Senator Kyle had a fine audience ut
them to the finish in an enthusiastic
frame of mind. More farmers and vot-
ers were in from the country than at any
former rally held in this city during the
campaign. The new Madison band dis
coursed very creditably several pieces Of
music on the street and at the opera
house and the two "Graces" completed
the musical program with two campaign
songs. Our next state senator, M. E.
Hart, introduced Senator Kyle and the
latter gentleman opened his address by
giving the audience some very pungent
pointers on the coming success OF Bryan
on November 3, which brought forth
vociferous applause. He said the COM
mon people we're behind this movement
and as in the struggle OF Andrew
jackson with King Biddle and the
United States bank, they would
triumph in the election Of w. j. Bryan.
The st. Louis convention he said was
controlled entirely by the representa-
tives of the trusts and moneyed interests
in declaring for the gold standard and
those republicans who to-day were
standing out for free coinage CT silver or
bimetallism were the true, honest and
loyal adherents Of the teachings Of the
republican party. He gave these great
honor as voting for principle and con
science sake. The republican party used
TO arraign the trusts, but there was not
a word against them in the ST. Louis
platform. These yellow gold hats, he
thought, were made OF the shearings OF
the British lion. The English press, the
Engllsh bankers and manufacturers are
working for the gold standard TO further
their own interests and tue gold men
i'll this country do their bidding. These
men are continually invading the halls
of congress to lobby for special privileg-
es and franchises whereby they might
rob the people. 1t was disg listing. A
Bryan administration would clean them
out. Equal rights to all; special priv.
ileges to %none," is the principle of Mr..
Bryan's life and action, and the impelling
motive of his party. A pitiable sight in
this campaign was TO see SO many be-
levers in free silver making gold bug
speeches, e. z. Pickler, Butterworth, ind
others.
