The writer states that he does not
believe the above and asks for re:uta-
tion. Since every reader of the State
Journal must know already that MOTH

could in any way be tortured Into a
warrant for the above charge, there
seems little more to be said. 1t will
be noted that the editorial expression
referred to is not quoted by the Mail.

The Journal errs in stating that
the clipping was from the Mail. 1t
was from the Monitor. Press, but was
doubtless based on an article copied
by the Mail from the Journal, to
which the Mail attached false
headline. Great efforts are being
made now to show that former ad-
vocateS Of silver are leaving it.
Numerous false interviews have
been published and the denials will
never see the light Of day in Repub-
liCan sheets. This is the danger
Of Populists trusting solely to Re-
publican papers for their everyday
news. The only advocate of silver
who has gone back on it that we
have heard of is Andy Richards, and
that was last year.

From one who has been dealing
on the board Of trade for weeks. and
has become quite familiar with the
sentiment of the dealers, we learn
that II IS not expected that whea,

He says the feeling among all the
dealers was that the monied men
were "Oulling" wheat and bearing"
silver and that the disparity was
pushed to its limit. He says the

that an ounce of silver and a bushel of
wheat have not varied On the orinci-
pal markets Of the world, so we say to
restore silver is TO restore one Of the
principal products Of the world"
The Mail says this part of Mr..
Simpsons speech was vociferously
applauded (wby should it not be?)
and adds "we would like to hear
him make that speech over again this
fall" Jerry will undoubtedly make
it, and for the sake of convenience
the VOICE will adopt it now and ask
the Mail to point out wherein il
makes false statement or draws a
false conclusion.
What was Mr.. Simpson trying to
prove? That the contraction of the
currency had in those instances set
at naught the law of supply and de-
mand; that the law Of supply and de-
mand is applicable to the volume of
money in circulation as well as to
the products Of the world; that if We
would allow the law of supply and
demand to operate freely we must
have a corresponding volume of
money. All the statesmen and econ.
omists that ever penned a line on
the question have said the same
thing-Republicans as well as anti
Republicans. 1t remains for latter
day politicians who last year, against
their lifelong protestation, whipped
over to open and avowed advocacy
Of the single gold standard, to dis.
credit the theory, and now they go
around pettifogging and garbling
quotations in order to maintain
themselves.
The difference between the Popu-
list theory and that now cOntended
for by the Republicans, is that the
latter believe, or profess to believe,
that the law Of supply and demand
operate, the same on prices without
regard to the amount of money in
