Coin Harvey Wants Gold.

BY advocating silver Mr.. Harvey
has reaped harvest in gold.
Yesterday morning w. H. Harvey,
commonly known as Coin Harvey,
because of his authorship of a series
of alleged economic papers under that
name, came down town. He was ac-
companied by Miss Josie Hix, his
stenographer and confidential clerk.
The two went to the Metropolitan
National bank at La Sale and Mon
roe streets. They went to the window
of the paying teller, and Mr.. Harvey
handed in a narrow, long slip Of paper
partly written, partly printed.-S Ut was
check. 1t was Mr. Harvey's check.
1t called for $4,000 90.
Il want it in gold" said Mr.. Har-
vey. And so, because he was good
fellow and because he had more
money and was nice and didn't de
mand all in gold and because it
seemed best all around to do it. Cash
ier Hitchcock made a mark on the
check, and the paying teller counted
out 125 gold pieces.
Each was a little smaller than a sill
yer dollar, but a good deal heavier.
The whole $500 made a glittering
yellow column somewhat over nine
inches high.
The silver prophet swept that much
of the detested metal into the canvas
| bag and walked out of the bank with
his stenographer,
He was destroying the power OF
| gold as other men have attempted to
destroy the power of rum. He has
proved his antipathy to it by obsorb-
ing some Of it-by taking that much
out of circulation.
Then he took it over to Dearborn
street and put it in safety deposit
vault.
The place from which he took it and
the place to which he removed it are
precisely two blocks apart. But that
short walk of "Coin" Harvey with his
bag of gold meant more than 1000
speeches.
The bank is good. Mr. Harvey had
, no fear Of its suspension. But he
preferred to have the money where
he could lay his hands on it at any
time without asking leave of any
cashier, paying teller or bank pres
| ident And he wanted it in Ssld.
Harvey claimed that he wanted the
gold to use as an object lesson in his
speeches.-Chicago Post.

Taught BY Experience.

Everybody but Popocrats learn by
experience. 1t is the only safe guide
that we have. No matter how firmly a
sensible man may have believed an
untired thing yesterday, he will sur
render his belief to-day if an actual
trial demonstrates its falsity. This is
the position of the sensible portion of
the people of the United States. Prior
to 1890 the great majority of our peo-
pie We're strongly favorable to silver.
1t was one of our most important pro-
ducts, it had always been one of the
worlds money metals, and we were
reluctant to have the tide set against
it. We had resumed the coinage of
silver, and gone on for years filling up
the Treasury with millions of dollars
which nobody would take and use
In spite of us, silver kept failing.
Then, in 1890, we resolved upon the
herculean stroke of buying up all our
own products, and removing it from
competition in the worlds market
We felt certain that if we kept our
own products at home, safely locked
up in the vaults of the Treasury,
where dealers could feel that it would
not be ''unloadedn on them at an in
convenient moment, that the world
would readily absorb the rest of its
production, and the price of silver
would rise to par. Nothing could be
more reasonable. The thing was done.
The Secretary of the Treasury was in
structed to buy 4,500,0O0 ounces a
month, 81 ,000,00 ounces IA year. He
did so for nearly three years. At first
the price advanced in the most graft
flying manner, and reached at one
time $1.22 an ounce.
Then everybody went to mining sill
yer. New mines were opened, and
cid ones extended. The price fell
rapidly. By the end of 1890 it was
down to $1.04; by the end of 1891 it
was 80 is cents; at the end of 1899 it
was so cents; and in October, 1893, it
was % cents. The result of this ex-
pertinent convinced everybody who
has any reason in him. The Govern
ment had lost about $4,000, 900 in
this latest effort to boost silver, and
the metal was lower than it had ever
been. The Sherman Act was there
fore repealed. Yet, in the face of this
conclusive demonstration, Mr.. Bryan
continues to say that he believes"
silver will go to $1.29 an ounce if we
have free coinage. We have seen
number of men who "believed'' that
a certain horse could trot a mile in
2:3O. They were willing to put up
their money to back that belief.

Thinks He Has Il Sure thing,

r. F. Cochran, of Cochranville, Pa,
wrote to the Philadelphia Press as
follows:
Sir:-I borrowed $4,000, which |
have invested as follows:
Bet $4,000 of it that Mckinley
would be the next President, and
the balance, $4,000, invested in silver
bullion.
If Mckinley is elected l get the
81, 900 in the hands of the stakeholder
and have $4,000 worth of silver bullion
and consequently have made $4,000
by the transaction.
If Bryan is elected | will only have
the $4,000 worth of bullion, but | can
get 5000 silver dollars made out of it
and will have 50, 600 left after paying
off my good and best friend who lent
me the money.
P. 81 hope the silver men have
not deceived me, for | won't like it if
| have placed this mortgage on my
farm these hard times for nothing.

Bryan in 1898.

A clipping from Bryan's persona
organ, the Omaha World Herald, OF
August 3, 1898, is given below to show
that the Popocratic candidates paper
had better ideas of right and honesty
at that time than it now has. What
was true then is true to-day. Read
what it says:
1.-The silver agitators who insist on
free coinage upon THE DISHONEST
RATIO OF TO Is and refuse to ac.
cept it upon the honest ratio of / to
% are very anxious to delude the
public into the belief that the demand
for more currency and the demand
for coinage upon tire ratio of 1 to 1G
are identical.
"They brand as goldbugs all who
decline to advocate 54-cent silver
dollars.
SIN truth, however, the only hon
est bimetallist is he who believes in
the free coinage of gold and silver,
each taken at it's market value and
so coined that 100 cents worth of gold
shall be in a gold dollar and 100 cents
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1896-10-08

to all practical intents and purposes
as if its coinage had been prohibited
by act of Congress. This would have
brought him to the final conclusion
that under the same treatment the
characterization of gold would be inc
vitable. There is no logic that will
permit him to apply two different
rules to gold and silver The same
treatment that has demonetized the
one must demonetize the other. At
this point the lamp of experience,
by which Mr.. Bryan says his feet are
guided, flickers and expires, and he
and his silverite followers are left
floundering deeper and deeper in the
morass of reputation, lured by a
iack-o' lantern of free and unlimited
coinage at Is to T.

THANKS, old silver plate, for the
information so kindly rendered re
garding Mr.. H. F. Bartine, but we
really did not intend for you to go tc
the trouble to hunt up old Congress
sional Records to find out who he is
One thing you neglected: you failed
to state that he is editor of a free sill
yer plated paper published in Chicago
in the interests of the mine owners
Why not tell all you know while en-.
gagged in this labor of love? Again
thanks.

than the price in the United States
only by the difference in the cost of
transportation from the field of pro-
duction. The demand for wheat, as
well as all other agricultural products,
depends essentially on the welfare of
the masses of workingmen who con-
sumo those products, and when the
condition of workingmen become less
prosperous by deprecated currency
they become poorer customers for the
farmers. AS a consequence the prices
of farm products decline.

WE ARE under many obligations to
to our silver plated contemporary for
the volunteered information that the
meeting held i'll Offutt's hall a week
or two ago was not a Popocratic
meeting. We judge that because our
silver plated friend who so ably wields
the pen in defense of his anarchistic
and populistic tendencies was secre-
tary of the meeting that that fact
alone gave the meeting the stripe of
Democracy.

THE following postscript to William
Jennings Bryan's letter accepting
the peoples party nomination got
lost in transmission: while it is
perfectly true that notified the Pop
ulists that | could not be considered
as a candidate unless Mr.. Sewall were
put on the ticket also, it is also true
that thought l had enough influence
to force Sewall's nomination. How
ever, that is no rsason why | should
refuse any old nomination l can
get

Our silver plated friend was so full
of information for our personal bene-
fit that it even went 70 far as to say
- that it was not candidate for office
before the American people. We
really see no policy in wasting so
much valuable space in this direction.
We all know you are not running for
the presidency; even if you were your
chances of election would be as bright
asjthose of Mr.. BRYAN.

How far Bryan comes from repre-
senting the plain, handwriting
thrifty people who are the real back
bone, the brain, muscles, and sinews
of the country is shown by studying
the savings banks statistics. In 1895
these institutions had 4, 975,519 deposi-
tors, who had on deposit the enor-
nous sum of $3.50, 597, 023, or several
hundred million dollars more than
the entire amout of circuculating
medium-gold, silver, and bank-notes
in the country. Besides this, there
were $33, 760,775 deposits subject to
check, which were not included in the
report and which would raise the ag-
gregate amount held up over So, 500,
100000. The average amount to the
credit of each depositOr was 1871 SO.
This represents, in many instances at
least, the labor, the economy, the self
denial, of years-perhaps q lifetime.
1t is the provision which plain, hard
working, sober people have made for
sickness and death. Yet Mr.. Bryan
would rob this most meritorious class
of our people of hundreds of millions
of dollars by his wild financial
schemes. If be should cut the dollar
in two it would defraud these people
of over $1,000 O0O,OOO Can such a
monstrous crime be considered with
competency?

worth of silver shall be in a silver
dollar.
The bimetallist who advocates
free coinage of gold and silver bn a
ratio of to 25 is as much believer
in an increase in the circulating me-
dunn as the man who demands coin
age on the ratio of to 16.
1.-The silverites in Chicago need not
arrogate to themselves the champion
ship of an increased CURRENCY That
is not their purpose, nor is it the real
effect of their agitation. They are
only the champions of silver"

THOSE who think they can stom
ach Bryan's silverism without swal
lowing the other ingredients mixed in
with the Chicago bolus simply befool
themselves. The whole dose must &C
down to-gether-Debts, Deviltry and
Destruction. The witches who worked
at Chicago beat up a poisonous mess
in their cauldron and though they
coated the capsule with silver the
poison is still there.

JUST MOVE ON.
BY THE TRAMP POET.

Through the mountains, lone and weary,
While the rain is drifting dreary,
Plods tramp upon his way;
Not word in kindness spoken,
Not crust has he had broken:-
Just move on" is what they say.
He's an outcast from some city,
UndeServing of all pity
Yes, he's lost beyond recall;
Once the joy of some fond mother,
Now, no longer "Man and brother"
Though He marks a sparrow's fall.
Still the rain is never weary,
And the road is dark and dreary
Where the houseless tramp plods on;
But there'll come golden morning,
And all worldly GOODNESS scorning-
He'll be happy dead and gone.
-THos. L. JACKSON.

THE present rise in the price of
wheat affords another proof of the
utter fallacyof the Bryanite assump-
ton that there is an unalterable con
nection between prices and the vol
ume of money Prices of commodities
are affected by different factors. and
most frequently by the conflict of
opposing factors. The demand for
wheat in the worlds markets and the
greater or less abundance of the har-
vest must affect the price at all times
and in all countries. In England or
France the price of wheat is greater

ORC MINING COMPANY.
The Test Run is satisfaotory and
 Work Will Proceed.

It was announced sometime ago that, under the supervision of s. H. Gould. test run would be made upon the property of the O.o Mining Con psny. st Gro Blsnco. It was believed that new machinery would be necessary for rhe treatment of the ore, and F. E.. Rogers, of Rochester, N. Y, the presi- dent of tts company came on for the purpose of making full investigation.
 According to arrangement Mir. Gould took charge, and, as sbe resul: of sn eight dsy's run, cleaned up $700 worth of gold. This ~ss more than sstls- factory, and the company now proposes to go to work in earnest, with MT. Gould as superintendent. The camp will coon assume sn active aspect, US from 40 10 to 50 men will be employed and the machinery will be worked to it's full capacity.
 There is sn almost limitless quantity of ore in sight and prospects are most favorable for permanent and prosper- ous camp at Gro Blarco.
 Mr. Gould Is mill man of extended experience and of exceptional ability. If, under bis management, the property does not pay, 1t will be because there is nothing in the ore. His careful, able management guarantees the very best returns and the Gro Company has reason to congratulate iteeIf upon having secur. ed the services of SO competent su- perIntendent as MT. Gould.
