The, Eloquent Governor Of az Sister
State Talks For Bryan and Silver
to- theI Delight of an Enthu-
Oiastic Audience

The two meetings held at the silver
wigwam yesterday were the most re-
markable in many ways of any that
have been. held here in this altogether
remarkable campaign. The meeting
held yesterday afternoon proves Of it
self that Bryan will carry this county by
a wonderful majority.
Over 1000 people packed the wigwam
in the afternoon, between and o'clock,
to listen to the discussion of the money
question from the standpoint of silver
coinage. Over 1000 of the throng were
men-voters. Their enthusiasm for
Bryan knew no bounds.
The crowd arrived as early as l o'clock
and by the time the school children's S
parade arrived at $3.50 o'clock, there was
a crowd reaching from Hill to Broad
way.
Mrs. G. w. Mills was chairman and
the speakers were Judge Phillips Judge
Utley, Mrs. Annie Is. Andrews, Rev.
George e. Dye, w. r. Steele, Will ID.
Gould, Col. Messmore, Willoughby Cole
and Col. l. r. Dunkleburger At $3.50
o'clock about 200 public school children
formed rank on Hill street. and with
fife and drum and couple of flag bear
ers, marched down the main aisle %
the stage. There We're sixteen little
girls dressed in white and one in gold
forming the front row on the stage, and
the other children We're arranged ac-
cording to size. forming a Tomlins- like
choral assembly The patriotic songs
were rendered by them with enthusias-
tic voice and time measured with wAv-
ing flags.
The vast audience voluntarily lin
gered until nearly o'clock.
The credit of the successful day and
the most wonderful of all campaign
events is due to the Woman's Bryan Sill
Yer club. and the chorus was conducted
by Mrs. Ryan, a member of that organi-
cation.
Prof. James G. Clark favored the all
dience, or rather throng, with a short
appeal in his musical voice.

with safety lean to a proportion (for
silver) somewhat above par with gold"
the high price of gold in Spain, at its
ratio of 16 to tending to draw thither
that the gold) of all it's mines, leaving
silver principally for other markets.
Mr.. Harris not only disregards the most
significant portions of what Jefferson
said, but the still more significant thing
that he did.
AT the time that Jefferson said these
things there existed in Europe the fol-
lowing ratios: That of Portugal and
the Spanish colonies 16 to 1; that of
France, 151a to 1; that of England, 15.a1
TO 1. The market value of gold at that
time was determined, as it always has
been determined. by the legal ratios
aforesaid, and what Jefferson said was
said with these ratios and their determ-
lining effect on the value of gold in view
This is evident from his reference to the
influence of the Spanish ratio of l6 to /.
to it's high valuation of gold, in draw
ing gold to Spain. And so Jefferson,
with this effect of the Spanish ratio in
view suggested that this country should

crease in the value of money resulting
from the gold standard, as much in
quantity of the staple products of the
country to pay the balance OF the debt
as would have paid the whole of 1t when
this debt was at it's highest point.
As for Mr.. Sherman's heroic PROPOSE
ton to maintain the public faith through
the sacrifice of the peoples last shirts,
which Mr. Harris had approved, the
speaker thought both Mr.. Sherman and
his admirer, Mr.. Harris, might hear with
profit the utterances Of Edmund Burke,
who, more than century ago, said that
It was to 1.-The property of the citizen
(Which would include the last shirts on
their backs) and not to the demands of
the creditors of the state that the first
and original faith of civil society is
pledged.'' 1.-The claim of the citizen d
said Mr.. Burke, "is prior in time, para
mount in title, superior in equity. The
state has no estate and can pledge none
to the public creditor, except such rev.
enue as it can derive through uniform
and just taxation"
Furthermore" said the speaker,
somewhat facetiously, ut can't be pos
The herald., 1896-10-31

sible that Mr.. Sherman and his Los An
geles admirer propose to substitute
shirts for gold as the basis of our money
system. Really this fervent talk of Sher-
man and Harris about using shirts in
payment of public debts and the appar-
ent inability of Tom Reed to distinguish
between the economic functions of a
dollar and hay rake is enough to pro-
woke doubts as to their soundness on the
money question and Coins Financial
School is recommended to their prayer

treatise which beginners in the science
of economics can study with profit"
Mr.. Harris next point, and one to
which the speaker said he desired to
give special attention, because, to his
mind, il was evidence of lack of ade-
ouate preparation for discussion on Mr..
Harris part, referred to the manner in
which Hamilton and Jefferson found
and fixed the ratio Of Is to l in 1892, and
the effect of that ratio. and the other ra-
ito of 16 to 1 adopted in 1884, upon the
circulation of gold and silver in the
United States. The words of Jefferson
relating to the adoption of the ratio Of

what above par with gold; what for?
Why. for the purpose of drawing silver
to this country. 1t was as If Jeffersont
had said. Since Spain bids SO high for
gold in her ratio, we will not enter intu
competition with her for gold, but wilt
let her take the yellow metal and W.
will aodpt a ratio that will bid high f0E:

actly what was done in adopting the ro-s

The Hssxht oG Factory Chimney.

The notion that the greater the height
OF chimney for boiler plant tho
greater will be its draft producing
power is responsible for the existence of
many chimneys of imposing size and, at
the same time, unnecessary expense. A
very tall chimney, well proportional
and gracefully outlined, may be strik-
ing archito Ctur,.l adjunct to q factory,
but it is also one that costs considerable
money without doing any measurable
amount Of good. Where chimneys are
intended to carry off noxious fumes
from chemical works, there is, of course.
some method i'll providing for unusual
height, since the aim i'll such case is
to insure as complete as possible a diff.
fusion of the vapors and prevent their
mingling with the air of the lower
strata; but for boilers simply, unusual
height, as stated, is rarely based upon
u good reason.
As a matter Of fact, the draft pro.
ducing capacities of chimrcys having
! fiues Of the same size are in proportion
to the square roots to their heights; so
that if one were to have double the
power, if it may be SO called, of the
other it would have to be four times rs
high, and not merely twice as high as
many would suppose. A height Of $50
feet may be considered, on good author
ity, as tho maximum necessary in any
case for producing tho requisite draft,
providing. of course, that the area of
the flue has been properly proportional.

cred that Eli Grabb, the man whom he

Eli Grubb. it seemed, was a professional

followed u criminal career along the Ohio

srription Of the dc>erter and criminal, who
