activity. But they would have us believe
that these would be fifty-cent dollars
and so a fraud. Why would this be so
more than in the present dollar coin? Is
it fraud when we give or take silver In
daily business? We cannot see where
the fraud comes in when for all practical
purposes the silver dollar is just as good
as gold. SO it is now and so will it ever
be when onr good Uncle Sam puts his
stamp on the coin. That ought to be
enough for his nephews and nieces.
The third question: Ought the United
States to undertake such a restoration
of silver, Is to /. and make it in all re-
spects at that ratio the equal of gold?
In the answer to this question let it be
borne in mind that it is admitted by all
that the treatment which silver has
been receiving at the hands of govern
ment has had some effect in lessening
its value. There ought on every princi-
pie of honesty to be compensation for
such injury and should a majority of the
voters be led to the conclusion that vir-
tually the entire loss has resulted from
discrimination between gold and sill
YER. made without warrant andsthrough
influences from abroad or at home that
ought to have been resisted. then the
United States will say what we have
been doing in keeping our silver coir
at parity with gold we propose to do
on still larger scale and under free
coinage. The UnitedStates will abide by
every promise it has ever made and will
pay gold when such is due by the terms
of the bond, but the nation is too large
and its silver too important an element
of its prosperity to be held at the mercy
of the money kings. This country is
able by the sheer force of its vast ener-
gies to lift from the slough of despond
the treasures which have been so reck-
lessly sunk and to send them forth
as the white-winged har-
binger of better times.

PREMISES OF DEBATE

It is an axiom in all debate that there
should be a clear understanding on both
sides OF what is in dispute. From neglect
of this premise in the great discussion on
the silver question now going on before
the American people, confusion seems
to have become worse confounded. One
step from chaos toward order will be
taken if We can know in what ali par
ties agree and where divergence begins
First il is admitted that the market
value of silver has deprecated TO the eX-
tent of hundreds of millions of dollars,
and this depreciation has been going on
for a score of years.
A second admitted fact is that during
this long period there has been great de-
preston in business, amounting often to
absolute stagnation; prices have fallen
below remuneration, and laborers by
thousands, have stood idle in the market
place.
out of these admitted statements
three questions arise and cry for an an
swer:
First-Have the hard times anything
to do with the losses to the world in the
destruction of silver as a circulating

actual value? We should like to see an
argument that would undertake to
prove that half the value Of any of the
great staple products of the world could
be eXpungcd without commercial con-
vulsion. How much more certainly
would this be true if the loss should fall
upon one-half the money of the world.
We need not recall the predictions in
this respect made by far-seeing states
men of different political parties. We
only ask every voter TO look with his
own eyes and to hear with his own ears.
Half the money Of the world is at about
fifty per cent discount as TO its former
value This loss has fallen somewhere.
Let the general paralysis tell us who
are suffering from this blood letting
The second question is: Would free
coinage restore the value OF the white
metal and add that increased value to
the available resources Of tha country? II

BRYAN'S GREAT SPEECH

MIR. Bryan's New York speech was q
strong and rounded performance As a
mastery presentation of the issues Sc,
up by the Chicago platform it is flaw
less. There is no shirking. no sophistry
no evasion, in any part of it. Plank by
plank the platform is taken up and the
wisdom of each vindicated with a clear
ness that is admirable. logic that is
refutable.-Kansas City Times.
In his speech last evening at Madison
Square garden, New York city, Mr.. Bry-
an more than fulfllledthe highest expec-
tations of his friends and left his enc
mics without any material with which
to counteract the wonderful results that
viii follow from what is one of the clear
est, most straightforward and most
complete presentation of campaign is
sues ever made by presidential candi-
date.-Dsnver Times.
The reception of Bryan in the east and
his great speech at Madison Square gar
den were a profound disappointment to
his opponents.
The self-constituted guardians of the
country, who have been trying to por-
tray Mr.. Bryan as an anarchist hugged
the fond hope that he would plunge into
polar wave east of the Al.eghenies.
and that the superior patriots of that
section would be treated to shocking
exhibition of anarchstic red fire
Neither of these expectations has been
realized. The reception of the Demo-
cratic candidate in the east has been not
merely respectful but enthusiastic The
people of the east have welcomed Mr.
Bryan. They have eagerly listened to
his political message. They have given
every indication of warm approval of
his arguments and appeals.-St. Louis
Republic.
A conclusive answer to the partisan
charge that oratory Is his only accom-
plishment is afforded by Mr.. Bryan in
his speech accepting the Democratic
nomination for the presidency.
Bryan grows upon the country. He
meets every emergency. AS surely as
the hour has struck the man has ap-
peared.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Mr.. Bryan's speech. which the Amer
lean publishes in full this morning.
should be read by every citizen; should
be studied. analyzed. thought over and
carefully investigated.
In It he gives his opinions at length
he discusses the wants of the people and
the needs of the hour; he explains the
platform. what it demands and what it
will bring about if Democracy wins; he
announces his beliefs. takes the people
into his confidence and urges Demo-
Gratis to fight the battle of Democracy
together.
The campaign is now opened, the bat
tie is begun. and every voter owes it 70
himself, his party and his country to
read the words uttered by the chosen
leader of the Democratic party.-Nash-
vile American.
