MORE BRYAN SOPHISTRIES.

In his Madison Square Garden speech Mt.
Bryan. attempting to answer the charge Una.
free coinage of silver at the ratio or 10 10 Wouiu
flood this country with cheap money, said:
Now how much silver can come here? Not
the coined silver Of the world. because almost
all of It is more valuable at this time In other
lands than 1t will be at our mints under Tree
coinage II our mnts opened 10 free ana
unlimited coinage at the present ratio. mer-
ohandise silver cannot come here. because tne
labor applied to 1t has made 1t worth more IN the
form of merchandise than 1t VIII be worth al our
minis
The answer to this argument is, that not only
Is IL not true, but that Mr. Bryan in another para
rraph contradicts IT, That paragraph reads as
follows
Perhaps the most persistent misrepresentation
that we have to meet is the charge that we are
advocating the payment OF debts In ffty-cent
dollars At the present time and under present
laws silver dollar. when melted. loses nearly
half its value. but that Will not be true when we
again establish a mint price for silver and leave
no surplus silver upon the market TO drag down
the price OF bullion.
Silver bullion is Mt present worth about ~
cents an ounce. Under free coinage It's mint
value would be 81 % m ounce 1t is we'll
known fact that manufactured silver, except IN
cases where extraordinary artistic skill has been
expended upon ii. can be bought by weight. at
slight advance on the bullion value. The eXcep-
ton has little more influence on the movement
Of silver than the expensive pictures which are
painted on canvas have upon the value OF cloth
Even under the gold standard with silver at the
present low price. the mint received for melt
ing quantities Of silverware, because the metal
was worth more at the mint than in its manu-
featured state The bulk of the silver Of the
world today in Whatever state It Is could
be bought for less than 81 % an ounce. In that
case II the United States Mint would give all
the silver brought to it legal-tender value OF
81 90 an ounce, the bulk Of the silver OF the
world would come in this direction In the sec
ond paragraph quoted Mr.. Bryan says that the
silver dollar is TO get its full value from the
establishment Of mint price which Will leave
mo surplus silver upon the market 10 drag down
"the price Of bullion" If there Is to be no surplus
silver in the world TO drag down the price, then
we must absorb that vast bulk Of silver which
the freecoinage men say is In so little demand
that II has only about half It's proper value, and
Mr. Bryan did not tell the truth when he said
that almost all of 1t is more valuable ut this
"tlme in other lands than 1t will be AT our minis
under free coinage" We cannot double the price
of the worlds silver and at the same time have
that silver stay where either for coin or mer
chandlse it has only the present value. 1t IS con-
ceivable that we might have cheap dollar and
create no new demand for silver. Also that we
might take the bulk Of the worlds silver and so
raise its price But we cannot do both The two
things are contradictory

vote against the principles and the facts when
Mr.. sherman has so fofcibly presented.
GOLD FOR THEM SILVER FOR OTHERS.

GOLD FOR THEM. SILVER FOR OTHERS.
Mr. Bryan is running for President on plat
form which declares:
I'VE demnn nd III at the standard silver doiinr
shnII he n full legal tender. equally Win
gold, for all debts, public and private ana
we favor such Legislation ms Will prevent Tor
the future the characterization of any kind OF
IegaI-tcnder money by private contract"
Among his most earnest and trusted sup
porters are Governor Altged and Senator Stew
art Yet both these advocates Of this platform
require poor people who make contracts FOR
future payment with them to agree to pay III
gold and there are vociferous advocates OF
Bryan's election in the East who make the same
requirement. ON the other hand, the Repupll-
can hnanclers who have urged most strenuously
the trouble that free coinage would cause have
refraIned from taking such measures to protect
themselves Which shows rhc greater patriot
ISM the man who shouts for free silver while
protecting himself against it. or the man VINO
opposes free silver at the same time that he re-
fuses TO take advantage of the misfortune that
It may bring TO his poorer neghbors?

great that it is evident that Mr. Cochran Will
have as large an audience as the one assembled
ut the late Bryan fasco The people will 90 to
this meeting, not because of their curiosity re-
garding Mr.. Cockran's personality. but because
they are interested in what he will say lf Mr.
Bryan wishes to see the style Of oratory that at
tracts and peases a Ncw-York audience, he
could not do better than to attend the meeting
to be held under the auspices of the Honest
Money League.

The Mortified Bible Conference was brought
10 close Yesterday with almost continuous
meetings from early morning till late at night
Mr. Moody. who had been urged to speak more
frequently during the last two weeks. delivering
no less than five addresses. The Conference
viewed from all points has been one of the most
successful ever held under the direction of the
noted evangelist and so eager are the people for
Bible teaching that supplementary conference
lasting another fortnight. will begin tomorrow
one Of the striking addresses of yesterday was
that of Dr Meyer. the English preacher. which
Is published in our columns this morning. IF
Dr. Meyers teaching on the deeper spiritual life
seems mystical in some Of its phases. this sermon
is as plain and practical any utterance that
ever came from Mr.. Moody himself.

Senator Thurston has written vigorous letter
TO Senator Stewart anent the charge that MT
Bryan has been the paid agent and spokesman
of the freesilver combine. This charge was not
made by Mr.. Thurston; he merely repeated what
had been said by well-known Democratic jour
nal in Chicago Thus far Mr.. Bryan has not
seen fit to enter any denial. although another
Chicago paper has since averred that his salary
from the silver-mine owners was $4,000 year
Mr. Thurston Is correct in saying that the Demo
cratic candidate is the man, and the only man,
who can make definite and conclusive answer TO
this serious allegation. 1t was all right OF
course for the silverites to hire men to carry on
their propaganda; but IL one Of their agents was
the man who is posing as the champion of the
down-trodden masses, the people Of the country
would like to know it,

The letter from ID. O. Eshbaugh that we publish
this morning ought TO give pause to the reckless
Democratic and Populistc campaigners, one Of
whose chief arguments for the policy of repudia-
ton has been the alleged desperate condition OF
the Western farmers Statements 10 this effect
have often been accepted as true by those who
are fighting for sound money, and who have
found n sufficient explanation for the supposed
facts in the causes that have brought depression
10 most other branches Of industry. Mr.. Esh-
baugh however. shows. as the result Of careful
investigation, that. 50 far from suffering excep-
tlonally. the farmers Of some Of the principal
Northwestern agricultural States have been get
ting higher prices for their farms in recent years,
and therefore. undoubtedly, larger incomes from
them. Mr. Eshbaugh Is at the head Of a large
financial institution Of this city that does much
business in the States referred 70. and his cOncu
yons appear to be carefully drawn from ample
and accurate information.

TRIBUNE TERMS TO NAIL SUBSCRIBERS.
Lewiston teller. [volume] (Lewiston, North Idaho) 1878-1900, 1896-03-12

The need of Lewiston is imuigla-
ton Of a thrifty class of people. Every
! hamlet in the northwest is proclaim
! ing to the world its inferior reasons
why people should come TO its borders
and establish business enterprises,
while Lewiston is comfortably idle IN
proclaiming real advantages. The
| class al people VIII i2h are qualified to
| lend the best prosperity to commun
nity seek available information and
compare the prospects presented.
| There are thronmS of people in Portland
ana Spokane n we'll rs al other trade
cent"rS who desire fields for invest
men, of capital in every manner of
promising enterprise. People who
have means sojnurn in hotels along the
lines OF travel and seek information by
every avenue. If Lewiston could have
som" literature setting forth the advan.
taeeS of this valley rs field for invest
ment, properly distributed it would
bring Il share of tn is desirable class
here. There is no better opeuinv for
the investment of moderate means
than are found here. The develop
mcnt of IN extended era of fruit and
garden land 10y improved means for
supplying water for irrigation offers
the best possible inducement for in.
ve>tment. The inquiry for smal,
tracts of fruit and garden land have
never been satisfied, The people who
seek this kind of investment are the
most desirable acquisitions to the COM
munity. Their work is of the most
permanent and profitable nature. In
Lewiston and vicinity however there
are many other opportunities for the
output OF many manufacturing estab-
lishments The nature of tins market
makes the need of factories very appar-
ent. The raw material is shipped out
OF this valley and the manufactured
article is returned with the cost multi
pied many times.
