The state of Washington, though
the state has given heavy Populist
majority, has cast more votes for Nc
Kinley than it cast for Harrison four
years ago. The vote for Cleveland in
1892 was 29,SO2; for Weaver, 1876;
total 4S,967. The vote for Harrison
was 36,469. Plurality against Har-
rison. upon the united Populist and
Democratic vote 12,46S. 1t is doubt
full whether the plurality is so great
now though the Demo-Populist vote
has been considerably increased bv
the aid of former Republicans, like

We have bimetallism in the United
States in every sense of the term. If
the gold man wants gold he can get it.
If the silver man wants silver at 16 to 1
he can get it. Based on these two
metals and redeemable in them, or like
them, in the products of the world (the
final redeemer of all moneys) we have
the greenback, the treasury note and
the national bank note, so that if the
citizen prefers paper to either gold or
silver it is within his reach.

JUSTICE BroELow.s VIEWS.
Nevada's Great Jur,.t Says Free Coin

Nevada's Great Jurist Says Free Coin
age VIII Injure Silver Miners.
Chief Justice r. r. BigeloW of the
supreme court of Nevada had letter
in a recent issue of the Reno New
Gazette which states some of the eff
fects of 16 to l free coinage very clear
ly Here is part of his letter:
It is not to be denied that the Re
pubIicans of this state are hard hit by
the action of the St. Louis convention
upon the monetary question. The free
coinage of silver is believed to be so
much to the advantage OF Nevada as a
silver producer, and we have for so
coinage "at 16 to 1" arguments, that
we have almost come to the conclusion
that no one can think otherwise who is
not scoundrel bought with British
gold. But there is another side to the
question that is believed in sincerely
by millions of as pure patriots as any
who believe in free coinage of silver.
Any man who says that this country
can alone double the value OF all the
silver of the world and bring it and
gold to par is either ignorant Of the
lessons of the past or ne wilifully shuts
his eyes to them. Il the free silver
ties carry the election this fall on their
Is to / platform, it will not only par
alyZe business-it will utterly destroy
it, There viii be scarcely bank or
10 Nd 40 will n M
go down before the storm. 1t will send
gold to almost 100 per cent premium,
and, as measured with silver, every
thing else will go, Up in value with
it, but as it will take twice as many
dollars as now to buy the same ar
ticle it will be OF no earthly advantage
to any one except to the man who
owes debts that ha has not promised
to pay in gold. His silver dollars will
pay such debt just as during the war
greenbacks would pay one, although
worth but 33 cents on the dollar, but
they will only buy half as much flour
or clothing or groceries as now.
But if he owes money to banks or
money lenders-and who does nOt?-
who have all protected themselves by
gold contracts, he will have to take
two Of his silver dollars to buy one in
gold, and at the same time, owing to
the general stagnation in business, they
will be harder to get hold Of than gold
dollars are now. 1t will be Of no adj
vantage to the silver states, because
their silver will be just as hard to get
from the ground as now, and a pound
of it will buy no more steel or pow
der or any of the necessaries of life
than now.
But the laboring man will be the
one who will suffer the most. The
Comstock miner will still get 81 per
day, the laborer 81 and the clerk $50
to $75 per month, but it will be in sill
yer, and, as it is now in Mexico, it will
only buy for his family or himself one
half what it will to-day. The same will
be the case with the crippled veterans,
their widows and orphans, who are
now getting pensions. It's effect will
be to scale their pensions. It's effect
will be to scale their pensions down
one-half.
There is not one of the arguments of
the silverites that cannot be complete
ly and successfully refuted. Free coin
age at 16 to by this country alone
cannot possibly benefit any one, but it
can bring fearful distress upon ALL

AN APPEAL TO SPOILSMEN.

Mr. Bryan made 80 many speeches on the way
to New-York that it is useless TO catalogue them
by subjects. Arithmetcal notation alone Is AIDE
quatc to the task They have to be spoken Of
as opus #" and opus y" to avoid confusion.
They ought to be preserved and indexed care
fully. for they contain gems which should not
be lost because OF the surprising Importance Of
the Madison Square effort one diamond OF
oratory was set sparkling before the crowd AT
Ada. Ohio. 1t fascinated all present, and threw
back upon the candidate who twlred 1t flashing
rays of light. which illuminated his whole char
actcr and shone through his prctence of leading
an unscfsh campaign.
At Ada Mr.. Bryan. speaking of the man who
introduced him. told the crowd: Il think he
wanted you to become acquainted with me so
IF you wanted postoflices you would know
"where TO come TO get them | am not dlsrib-
"uting postofices yet, but hope to before very
long" How is that for high moral campaign,
crusade with crowns of thorns," and crosses
of gold" and throwing over tables Of the
money-changcrs"! 1t sounds uncommonly like an
appeal to the cupidity of every fellow who wants
an office to come to the support of Bryan. Drop
ballot In the slot and get a postoliice. We
would fain believe that Mr. Bryan was Joking.
Hut Mr. Bryan is not n comedian. He Is playing
high tragedy He is dead in earnest and going
ahead ut full pressure Every word he uttcrs
Is for effect and when he talked of distributing
postofiices he meant TO Indicate that IF he
reached the White House he would be "hired
man." who would give every partisan a cordial
welcome at Washington and send him home the

consists in appealing 10 the prejudice, passion

farmer j. told that he must vote for Bryan so
that the workman will have TO pay him larger
share of his earnings for food The debtor Is
urged 10 vote for Bryan so that he may repudi
ate half Of his debt The laboring man is urged
TO vote for Bryan because he is an enemy OF the
capitalist. The discontinued are urged 10 vote
for Bryan because he does not believe in the

Let us suppose that free silver should double
