BRYAN REVERSsS HIMSELF.
Impertiucnce and EfFrontery thai
Would Shame a Street Fakir.

Impcrtincnce and Efrontery that
Would Shame a Street FalSir.
\ year ago W. j. Bryan was travelling
back and forth across the American CON
tinent declaring that the law OF supply
aud demand had nothing whatever to do
with the prices of American products, and
that the only hope for advancement out Of
the condition Of Industrial prostratiOn was
through the free and unlimited coinage Of
silver. Now he is campaigning among the
same people with the unreserved declara-
ton that government policies, legislation,
financial systems, ETC., have nothing what
ever to do with the price of products, but
that they are governed solely by the law
of supply and demand.
1t would not be so bad if Mr.. Bryan re-
manned content with reversing himself.
But with an impertinence and effrontery
that would make patent medicine fakir
ashamed of himself he proceeds 10 reverse
all Of the American people who did not
agree with his highpopaorum theory Of a
year ago. Everywhere and upon all oc-
cations the Republicans insisted during
the campaign of 1896 that the price Of
products was governed by the law Of sup
ply and demand. Now Mr. Bryan is striy-
ing to make it appear that the Republic
cans have abandoned their contention Of
Il year ago and are claiming that the adj
vance in the price of wheat and corn is
solely due to Republican legislation and
not to the operations Of the law of supply
and demand. This is false and Mr.. Bryan
knows it is false. Because he has come
over on to Republican ground is no rea-
son why he should seek to drive the Re
publcans on to Populist ground which he
has Observation-Disclosures City journal.

Not Controlled bY silver.

Russia's exports of grain, according TO
the latest advices, have amounted to only
about 60 per cent this year of those OF
1896, the total OF all kinds of grain
amounting to 143,000,0O0 bushels during
the first eight months of the present year.
When there is added to this fact the eX-
IRENE shortage in the crops Of this year,
il is apparent that Russia will do little if
any exporting and supplying the markets
of the world, to which India, Australia
and Argentina will contribute little. if
anything. thus leaving the United States
the chief food supply OF those sections
which have to go outside their own terri
tory for grain. This accounts for the adj
vance in the price Of wheat, and sustains
the claim of the Republicans in the last
fall campaign that the prices of wheat de-
pend upon supply and demand, and are
not controlled by or related to the use of
silver.

Protection in the south.

The growth Of protective sentiment in
the South, shown by the election Of Sen
ator McLaurin in South Carolina, is no
surprise TO those who have studied the
situation in that section. The New York
sun, whose editors scan the political hori-
zon pretty closely. in recent article
points out the growth of Republicanism
in that section. and says il is to be an inn
portant field for the party in future.

Free Coinage of Freight Cars.

The free silver leaders have contended
that what is needed is an increase in the
volume of money; but that does not seem
to be the trouble just at present. What is
needed is an increase in the volume Of
freight cars. The Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul road is trying to borrow five
thousand cars from some Of the Southern
roads TO enable it to handle the traffic
offered to it. Unless it is able to get the
cars it will have TO lose considerable bust
ness. At present it is using all the cars
available and is unable to keep up with
the demand from all points on its lines.
The situation is becoming serious, not
only with the st. Paul, but with the
Northwestern, the Burlington, Rock ISL
and, AtchiSon and all the other Western
end Northwestern roads. They are sim
ply unable to handle the traffic ordered.
All the roads report that not only are they
delugcd with grain traffic, but west-bound
merchandise is offered in great volume.
What is needed then is a little more free
coinage of freight ars.-Kalamazoo Tele-

Making Our own Tin plate.

The free trade theorists are not hunting
up just now their assertions made when
the Mckinley law was enacted. that no
amount of protection would enable the
United States to make its own tin plate.
Not only is the bulk of our tin plate now
being manufactured at home as a result
Of that protection thus given, but our
manufacturers OF that article are actually
invading foreign markets.

PROVIDED" AND OFF"
Stand in the Way of that Silver and
Bank of England story.

What the Bank Of England proposes to
do about silver was formally and authori-
tatively stated yesterday at the semi-an-
nual meeting Of the bank by the Governor,
who read a letter he had written to the
Chancellor of the EXchequer, stating, in
substance, that the bank was prepared to
do what ii was permitted to DO 10y the
bank act of 1911. that is, to carry one
fifth Of the reserve against its notes in
silver, provided. however. that the French
mint is again opened to the free coinage
Of silver land that the price at which sill
yer is procurabe aud salable is satisfac-
tory" The Governor went on to say that
the bank had bought no silver, and all that
it had agreed to was to do what is per-
Missile under the act Of. 1914, on the con
dtions he stated. This is some slight en-
enlargement to bimetallists, bat not
enough to excite them.-Louisville Com

Wheat to Bring Golden Dollars.

While our wheat production is very
large this year, our home consumption is
Increasing with returning prosperity and
we will have to hold the major part of il
for our own people. 1t is estimated that
we will have in the neghborhood of 200,-
100000 bushels for export, which means
not far from 200,000,000 golden dollars to
be distributed among the farmers.

People who are surprised that the three
anti-Republcan conventions in Nebraska
decided to again advocate free silver
should remember that they had to have
something for an issue. or course the
Democratic tariff theory was too unpopu-
lar TO trot out again. as also the other d.
lapidated fads OF the Democracy.

could be asked. But what Of the per-
Torrance? They are Spanish promises,
ard oces very like them have been
made before. With no result 50 far as

bear IN mind that the Spanish are a
very polite people, who, if you admire
their coat or any piece of jewelry, will
Immediately take them off and insist
upon your accepting them, expecting
always two coats or two pieces Of jew
elry in return.
There is some sarcasm in the reply,
as ia that portion acknowledging the
friendly spirit shown by the United
States in volunteering in the note of
Sept. 29 to assist Spain in bringing the
Cuban war to a speedy end Spain says
that if the American government will
explain how it is proper to cooperate
in the pacihcation of Cuba, the sugges-
ton viii he received with due attention
in Spain, providing Spanish rights Of
sovereignty are respected and SPANS
right TO settle domestic disputes with
her colony when and how she deems fit,
are also recognized.
There IS also much sarcasm in that
portion of the reply where it is stated
that Spain can fix no date for the close
of the war. but the United States can
nobly assist Spain and prove the sim
certify of their offer of co-operdtioa by
henceforth checking fiibustering eXpe-
ditions, whose moral and material as

than anything else to the development
