BRYAN SHOWS THEM UP.
Punctures the Sophistry of RepubIic-
Ranters.

The sophistry of republican special
pleaders for the causes of scant money
and high tariff is cleverly punctured by
Mr.. Bryan. That distinguished gentle
man has taken up the iubilate of the re-
publican press over the high price of
wheat-about the only evidence of pros
perity which exists in this country
and shown conclusively the humbug of
the claim that legislation has any
thing to do with it. The claim is so
absurd and ii has been so often de-
molished that Mr.. Bryan's work would
seem to be supererogatory, but perhaps
too much cannot be said in the ex-
posure of republican shams. In dis
cussing the matter he used these words:
"The first hopeful thing that came to
aid republican Imagination since the
election was the discovery of gold in
Klondike, and the second was the rise
in the price of wheat. The republicans,
however, had no right 10 rejoice over
the discovery of the new gold mines, be-
cause this would tend to increase the
volume of money, and that was op-
posed by the republican platform.
"As to the rise in wheat. il came from
famine abroad, and, in fact, did not BEN
eft the man who had wheat to sell.
He did not find that his wages had been
raised any, but il cost him more TO buy
his flour. Then. too. if the rise in wheat
is good thing for the farmers, il was
just what the democrats claimed last
fall when they said il was higher-priced
commodities the people wanted and not
higher-priced money. They wanted
prices advanced by taking from gold
that purchasing power which had been
added by fraud rather than advanced
by famine and suffering"
No reply is possible to these state
ments. They are rock-ribbed facts and
cannot be argued away. The provi-
dental happenings of which such base
use is made by the republican newspa-
pers and speakers only serve to
strengthen the position taken by BIZ
metallists.-Binghamton IN. " Re-

HOW THE FARMER is PROTECTED
Ar Absurd Claim of the High Tariff
Organs.

The republican organs attempt to
blind the farmers by telling them how
the Dingley robber tariff protects"
them, and then proceed to say that If
anyone denies that it bei.efits the farm
er, he is ignorant. The following is the
list of the protected" products of the
farm furnished by one of these organs:
Cattle. 81 a head hogs. $50: horses.
$50; sheep. sl.50; barley. 80 cents a bushel:
buckwheat. Is cents; corn. Is cents; oats,
Is cents; rye. 10 cents: wheat 25 cents:
butter. cents a pound: milk. cents a
gallon; beans, 45 cents a bushel cabbage
cents each; eggs. cents a dozen; hay,
"a a ton; honey, 20 cents a gallon: hops. II
cents a pound: potatoes, 25 cents a bushel:
lard. cents pound: poultry. cents
pound"
The tariffites expose their own ignor-
ance by trying to palm off such "stuff"
as argument in support of the absurd
claim that the tariff is, or can be "a
benefit to the farmer. There is not a
single article in the above list the duty
on which protects the farmer None
Of them are brought from other coun-
tries, but are produced here in abund-
ance and supplied to other countries.
What great protection" for instance,
that tariff of $50 head on horses is
when they can be bought throughout
the west in abundance for less than
that price per head. What advantage is
this tariff on live stock or farm products
to Sangamon county farmer who has
live stock or anything else to sell? Does
the tariff of Is cents bushel on corn
affect the price of Sangamon county
corn? And how much milk and honey
does the old world send over here to
compete with Illinois farmers?
Then there is hay, that is protected"
at four dollars per ton. What good does
that do the farmers of the great west,
when hay, in some localities. is actually
selling to-day at a dollar ton less than
the tariff?
Referring to this protection" on hay,
the Newark (O.) Advocate draws quite
an object lesson for the farmers of that
section. Three years ago when the Will
son tariff, that had just passed congress,
fixed the duty on hay at two dollars a
ton, every farmer who brought hay to
Newark to sell, the Advocate says, was
given great song and dance by repub-
AiSdH nay was uOWu III
price in consequence of the tariff reduc-
ton. The price was then firm at nine
dollars ton in Newark. Farmers found
ready sale there at that price at this
time three years ago. But what are they
getting for their hay in Newark now,
since the protection" has been in
creased to four dollars ton? The Ad-
vocate says six to six dollars and fifty
cents ton are the best prices that
farmers are offered for their hay now,
and the republican claqueurs who were
SO loud in talking about the low price
of nine dollars a ton in 1894, in conse-
quence of lower tariff, are now as
mum as oysters.
The protection" to farmers don't
protect, and farmers can't be fooled by
this republican fallacy any longer

wondering, for as fresh smoke rises nm
he sees fresh figures forming them
selves behind it. Still himself, but old

this time of ~. A ball again, evidently
in a private house; there is wide
flight of stairs, off it at one side a con-
servatory filled with flowers and at its
top wide landing, with the ballroom
opening bright, noisy and joyous be-
hind it.
In the doorway stands the hostess
welcoming her guests: Dick of to-day
tries tc distinguish her features, but
they elude him just as the colors had
few minutes before. He passes on into
the room. Again all the figures are
blurred, until he comes quite to the
upper end, Immediately beneath the
big hanging lamp, where there stands
very distinct one in white silk and a
quantity of soft white tulle, who has
her back turned, and displays a very
fair head with bunch of pink moss
roses at one side. Dick of '72 speaks,
and the figure turns and looks at him
with little uncertainty at first, and
then a gradual, pleased look of recog-
milton comes to her face--that same
sweet face, with its warm, brown eyes.
Dick of '72 thinks five years have
passed very lightly. leaving behind
them only touch Of dignity and .wom-
anliness in place of the almost childish
ness. She is. in fact, improved by them.
and so thinks Dick of to-day.
Dick of '72 dances three times with
''Bly little sister Kitty" and the third
time she is carried away from him by
very tall, dark. handsome man. with
small pointed black beard. He
watches them, and voice at his elbow
says: What a jolly couple they makel
He is old Lord Easton's nephew, and
they are to be married next week, you

the morning comes to the conclusion
that he had takeL too much cham
pagne, for he had dreamed all night
.hat his room was of gold hung over
With pink moss roses; and, turn as he
would, he could find no door to escape
from the heavy scent of them, which
maddened him, and the touch of them
which thrilled him with JOY and sor-
row, pleasure and passionate pain
mixed.
The smoke clears off again. but Dick
of to-day has ceased to wonder, and
only waits, expecting more, uncompre-
hending however. Very soon more
comes; still Dick, still ballroom; Dick

with quite different atmosphere, and
different tone about it; many men,
fewer women than heretofore, but all

THE FALL IN SILVER.
Solid Facts for the Enemies of nj.
mefaIlfsm

"etHtitsm.
Narrow monometallists have been
extracting much comfort out of the re-
cent fall in the price of silver. On the
same principle they must experience .
good deal of discomfort when they read
the quotations showing a rise in the
white metal of about IA cents above the
low mark reached September 1.
The fact that the upward turn was
due entirely to mere rumors that pur-
chases of silver were being made for
India substantiates the contention of BIZ
metallists that the disparity in the COM
mercial value of gold and silver is MAIN
ly due to the degradation of the white
metal caused by its being struck from
the coinage.
Another stimulating element was tho
tentative announcement by the gov
ernor of the Bank of England of the
possibility of that institution utilizing
its silver reserve as permitted by its
original charter. That the suggestion
did stimulate the price is another proof
that bimetallsts are right.
The Importance which attaches to the
rise of 7K cents in few days must ap-
peal with telling force to the minds Of
the uncompromising single standard
| advocates here and in Europe. Ex-
perts are unable to account for the rise
on any other hypothesis than that mere
rumors stiffened the silver market. No
mind not enthralled in blind and stub
born prejudice can doubt that il rumor
has such an effect on the price of the
white metal, steady demand, such az
would be created by its restoration to
its old place in the coinage system Of
the United States, would give it stable
value which would soon settle all doubts
as to parity or ratio. Another matter
of Importance demonstrated beyond
the shadow of doubt by the recent up
ward bulge is the sensitiveness of sill
yer to conditions. This sensitiveness 10
no new feature, though the gold advo-
Gates are trying to make the world be-
lieve it is. In 1890, when it seemed prob
able that congress would enact FREQ
coinage bill. the price of silver bullion
rose to S1.20 an ounce in gold in all the
markets of the world. lacking only nine
cents per ounce Of reaching parity, and
all because of a mere probability Of the
restoration of the white metal to the
coinage of the United States.
These are solid facts which no amount
of argument by the enemies of bimetaL
lism can destroy or weaken.--St. Louis

IMPORTS LACKING.
The Dfngley Law Ii Running Up the
Treasury Deficit.

ArChsury OcnclI.
Mr.. Dingley's explanation of why his
tariff bill is failure is a sufficient COM
mentary on the boasted republican ca
pability for legislation. His explanation
is almost amusing in its weakness, not
to say its stupidity. He argues, with .
freedom that disregards accuracy in de-
tails, that during the four months the
tariff bin was receiving the attention Of
the senate there was not far from $780,.
100000 worth of goods imported in ex-
cess of the amount imported during the
same period of the previous year. This
excess of importations was in antici-
patton of an increase of duties and with
a view to escaping the payment of new
rates. Prior to July / there was paid
in duties under the old law $32 900 900.
This he argues should be credited to
the Dingley law and not to the Wilson
law. Singularly enough this amount
just about covers the deficit for the
present fiscal year. But the Dingley
law goes right on piling up deficit
month after month. Chairman Ding
ley's explanation is like a limited
ticket, not good after date Next month
he will have to give another explanation,
and it will have to be something else,
because he has used up the $32 1000 900
"anticipatory duties" the first crack
The real reason why the Dingley bill
does not produce revenue enough is that
there are insufficient imports. There
are insufficient imports because the du-
ties are high. The duties were placed
high for the very purpose of shutting
out imports. The Dingley bill is there
fore failure because il defeats itself.
High protection and revenue clash in
tariff bill. If high protection is set
up. revenue is lacking. The Dingley
bill is failure because the rates are
too high.
We would like to know how long our
republican friends believe that the
Dingley law settles the tariff question,
with a deficit running at the rate of sl0,-
100000 month?-Utica Observer.
