PLAIN TALK TO wORKMEN.
The A B G of the Silver Ques-
ton.


Let us not get mixed up with
complex matters in connection with
the free silver idea.
Let us not befog our brain with
arguments about the crime of 1873
or bother with the many theories
which the advocates of free silver are
giving us.
But let take common sense view
of the situation.
Now to start with:
Suppose Bryan was elected and
the free coinage act had been passed
and that free coinage was an actual
fact.
Suppose that silver could be taken
to the mint and coined into silver
dollars at the ratio of Is to |.
How would that effect us?
We haven't got any silver bullion.
A whole lot of people who own
silver mines have it, and so they
could have it coined into 16 to dol
lars, but not having any ourselves
we could not have solitary, single
dollar coined under the free silver
act.
Now, suppose, however, that all
the silver mine owners and others
who had silver took it all to Wash
ington or Philadelphia or to some
other United States mint and had it
coined into 16 to dollars, and
Suppose so much had been coined
that all the silver in the world was
made into Is to dollars, and
Suppose that every one of these
dollars was piled up in one heap
right on the next block, and
Suppose every single one of them
was worth 100 cents here and every
where.
What good would they do us un-
less we had something we could
trade by which we could get one?
Well, we have something to trade;
everybody has.
Some have labor, so much for a
dollar.
Some have lumber, so much for a
dollar.
Some have sugar or potatoes or
hams or coal or something else, all
so much for dollar.
When we want one of those silver
dollars, we cannot go and take it.
They don t belong to us. They be-
long to the men who took the silver
to the mint to be coined.
If we took one, it would be stealing.
If we asked for one for nothing, il
would be begging.
If the owners gave us one fol
nothing, it would be gift.
If we borrowed one, it would cost
us interest, and so
Most-ef us, to get one, must trade
labor, lumber, sugar, coal, advertis
ing or something to get it.
This is absolutely and honestly
so, ism t it?
Well, being so, why do we take
any chances on the dollar?
We can get gold now.
1t is worth 100 cents on a dollar
everywhere.
So we have supposed the silver tc
be, but
Suppose IT ism t.
What then?
What is the use of taking a chance
unless we can do better? A silver
dollar won't be worth more thar
100 cents, will it?
We are getting that now.
Let well enough alone,
Some say duty compels Demo
crat to back up and vote for Dem
ocrat. You have Bryan S wore
that he is no democrat. Let hin
deny that he said it.
Some say it is pretty bad now
We might as well take chance
1t can be worse
What kind of tomfoolery is this?
Are things bad in business way
Let us tell you something to try.
Vote down this crowd of repudia
| tors.
Tell the world in trumpet tones
| in November that we want the bes
money, that we will take no other
and business will revive.
Let the capital out that Bryan
and his followers have scared unde
cover, and prosperity will come

L. c. Davis, one of the stars of County
Attorney Whittemore's detective force,
did not have a hearing yesterday on the
charge of perjury.
The case was set for 10 a. m. but
went over until 2 p. m. at Mr.. White
mores request. At that hour, the de-
PENDANT, with his attorney. John NJ.
Zane, the prosecutor appointed by the
court, Judge Dey and the county attor-
ney, were present. Just who Mr.. Whit
temore represented was a problem, and
in an attempt to solve it. the case went
over until some future day.
At the outset, Mr.. Whittemore stated
that he wished to conduct the prosecu-
ton, and in support of this demand,
called attention to the recent act of the
legislature requiring the county attorney
to prosecute all criminal cases within his
jurisdiction.
Mr. zane made some remarks in the
same line.
Then Judge Dey replied, and when he
finished there wasn't much ground left
for Mr. Whittemore to stand upon.
In passing upon the matter, justice
Harvey said that an official stenographic
report had been taken of all the proceed
ings. That report showed that when Da-
Wis was arrested and brought into court,
the county attorney appeared ana SAID
that the arrest had been made without
his consent: that he was opposed TO the
whole proceeding and demanded the re
lease of the defendant. He appeared there
as the friend and attorney of Davis, and
when the defendants bond was fixed,
Mr.. Whittemore in that capacity, went
out and obtained bonds for Davis. HIS
whole conduct in the matter had placed
himself on record as the defendants at
torney. 1t was this court which com,
PEELED the court to appoint a special
prosecutor, Judge Dey being chosen. In the
opinion of the justice the county attorney
had clearly disqualified himself from
controlling the case. The former ruling
would not, therefore. be revoked, but the
court wished it distinctly understood ina !
the county attorney could proceed ana aid
in the prosecution if he felt so disposed.
Mr., Whittemore announced that today
he would apply for writ to compel the
court to turn the case over to him ana
asked that proceedings be suspended I'M
til that was passed upon.
Justice Harvey readily agreed to this,
adding that he would furnish the steno-
graphic report showing Mr.. Whittemore s
previous action in the case as the de-
fendants attorney, which was the sole
ground for declining at the time TO re-
woke the former order.
