count of our fire we had the
advantage of being late in the

very much lower prices than
if same had been bought the
early part of the season. We
shall give the advantage Of
the reduced prices to our pa

our damaged goods have been
entirely disposed of. Our
stores have been completely
renovated, and is today the

now go on with our regular
business as heretofore, always

silver and the wages Of men will increase;
give ms free silver and the price of pro-
ducts will rise; give Us free silver and
new avenues OF employment will be
opened up; give us free silver and the
business oi the country will BOOM" :
My countrymen, as business pro-

four years ago, don't you thinkit would
be advisable to ask for little collateral
security in aid Of that promise? loud

Inevitable Results.

If silver is added again to the money OF
the country, it must inevitably become the
only money. There is now in the country
about s., 224, 900 in money and Its represen-
tatives, OF which about 5000, 900, 900 is gold
and $3.50, DOC, 900 is in silver. The gold will
leave the countrs, for men will not pay their
debts in Ioo-cent gold dollars when they
can pay them in 53-cent silver dollars. So,
for a time at least, this effort of the silver
men to provide more money will result IN
less money After many years they might
be able to coin enough silver dollars to take
the place Of the gold that will be expelled
from the country by the triumph Of free sill
yer, but for long time there would be a
contraction of the currency.
Mr. Bryan's effort is not the first one to
remedy hard times by means Of cheap mon
ey, nor is free coinage of silver unknown to
country. Free coinage of silver was au-
thorized by the coinage laws of the United
States from 1892 TO 1873, but gold was I'M
dervalued, when the ratio betweenit and
silver was fixed at Is to 1, which was the
first ratio adopted in this country.
An ounce of gold was then worth more
than Is ounces Of silver; it was worth I5:I7
ounces. Therefore gold did not circulate,
while the circulation of silver was SO limited
that It's coinage was suspended from 1906 tc
1886 During the first fifty years Of its ex-
'istence the government did all in its power
TO make the money of the country cheap
and abundant.
Iteven permitted the circulation of GER
tain foreign coins that were SO cheap that
they drove our own coins out of the country.
Finally we had the wildcat bank notes. and
the disaster and ruin that always wait upon
such financial experiments as that into which
Mr.. Bryan is endeayoring to tempt the peo-
pie of this country.
Having thus tried free coinage OF silver
and cheap money of all kinds, having seen
clipped abraded Mexican dollars drive our
own gold and silver into retirement, having
seen wildcat bank notes and then green
backs take the place of coin, having suffered
all the troubles that result from imitation. we
do not believe that the people OF the United
States will again make total Of a WORKOUT
device.

Democratic Campaign Committee TO Set
tie the Matter.
NEW YORK, Aug! Is. 1T was after
/ 10 when the Democratic national
committee got together and, Senator
Jones in the chair, declared it ready for
business. Discussion Immediately arose
as to the selection Of a place for head
quarters for the committee. There was
little discussion, and then the matter
was laid aside while Senator German
offered resolution that the chair
should appoint q committee of S5 to be
known as the executive committee; q
committee of % to be known as the
finance committee, and q committee OF
8 to DO known as the campaign commit
tee, the chairman, Senator Jones, to be
ex-offici0 member of each committee.
The resolution further recited that the
campaign committee should be allowed
to select it's chairman from either it's
own members or from some outside
source, and that they might also select
an advisory committee from outside
sources.
A Happy solution.
The resolution was adopted without
dissent, and Senator German followed
them mp with this resolution:
Resolved. That the campaign COM
mittee, when appointed, shall, in con-
junction with the chairman of the ma
tional committee, select the permanent
headquarters of the national committee.
The members seemed to believe this q
happy solution Of the vexed question,
and it was adopted with very little
debate.
1t is the belief here that the head
quarters of the national committee will
be located at Washington, with
branches at New York and Chicago.

The 16 to free silver folks having
quoted Blaine in their recent rroclama-
ton, we give below few remarks Of
that great leader from his speech in the
u. S, Senate OF Feb. Z, 1878, being the
same speech from which Towne, Lind.
Day, Smith, and others quote. After
speaking at some length Mr.. Blaine Of
tered substitute tor the pending bill
and said:
The bill which now offer as substi-
tute for the house bill contains three
very simple propositions:
First-That the dollar shall contain
425 grains OF standard silver, shall
have unlimited coinage, and be an nm
limited legal tender.
Sesond-That all the profits of coinage
shall 60 to the government, and not to
the operator in silver bullion.
Third-That silver dollArs or silver
bullion, assayed and mint-stamped, may
be deposited with the assistant treasur.
ct at New York tor which coin certifi-
Gates may be issued. the same in denom-
nation as United States notes, not
below $40, and these shall be redeemable
on demand in coin or bullion. We shall
thus secure paper circulation based on
an actual deposi: OF precious metal.
giving us notes as valuable as those OF
the Bank of England, and do away at
once with the dreaded Inconvenience OF
silver OH account OF bulk and weight.
l do not TAIL Mr.. President, to reecg-
nize that the coipmlttals and avowus
OF senator's on this question preclude the
hope OF my substitute being a1pted. l
do not. indeed, tail to recognize that on
tins question am not in line with either
extreme with those who believe in the
single gold standard or with those who,
premalurely and unwisely, as must
regard it, " would force us to single
silver standard. Either will be found,
In my judgment, great misfortune to
our country. We need both gold and
silver, and we can have both only bv
making each the equal of the other.
We hear it proclaimed in the halls OF
congress, that 1.-THE people demand cheap
money" l deny it. l declare such a
phrase to he total Misrepresentation
a total misinterpretation OF the popular
wish. The people donot demand cheap
they demand an abundance OF
good money, which is an entirely differ
emit thing. They do not want a single
gold standard that will exclude silver
and beneht those already rich. They do
not want an inferior silver standard
that will driye out gold and not help
those already poor. They want both
metals in tul. value, in equal honor, in
wllateve. abundance the bounteiul
earth will yield them to the searching
eye of science and to the hard hand OF

CHICAGO, Aug. l3.-Chairman Hanna
of the Republican national committee
spent very little time at headquarters
during the day. After looking through
his mail he took carriage and drove
around to see the big manufacturers,
merchants and the employers of many
men. He is reported as saying that the
best way to reach the great army of
voters and workmen is to consult with
those who employ them, and to that
end it has been arranged, it is said, for
employers to hold meetings in their
shops and factories for the purpose of
educating employees on current issues.

A subscriber asks this question:

Under free coinage OF silver will you
kindly state how much would be real
lied In Norway or Sweden on a draft
purchased for $1OO-siver dollars?
There are many citizens of this country
working hard and saving money to re-
NIT to the old folks across the ocean,
and can't see but that these hardwork-
ing men would lose forty-seven cents on
each dollar sent to the old country If
tree silver prevails. am quite sure this
is point worthy of an explanation in
your columns"
Our correspondent is right. The draft
purchased in 100 American silver dollars
under free coinage would be worth in
Norway, or Sweden exactly the gold
price of the silver metal in the 100 dol
Larson abouc $50 in gold. In other
words a Nor wegian who wanted to
send 500 TO his aged parents in Nor
way would find that 500 in silver
would purchase draft on London or

the family came from Germany and set
tied In Maryland. The descendants be-

part in every war since, always on the
side Of our government. many of them
loosing their lives at different times, and
one his scalp, but not his life, at the
time Crawford was burned at the stake.

in wealth probably equal to any family
