SflYer-4Sc to the Dollar.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Here is a pretty kettle of fish. The late
w. j. Bryan is going about the country
thai recently sat down on him so hard ar
guing Qf his method can be called arguing)
tina as the American people are in a bad
way the free and manufacture
of silver dollars at a ratio of 1s TO 1-or, In
other words. a dollar in gold weighing 25.S
grains with the alloy)-a silver dollar is
to be coined free as air to anyone having
1925 grains of silver, and is to be made a
legal tender for 81. This was driveling
lunacy under old conditions, but to-day
silver has fallen to As cents for 412.5 grains,
and it's course is still downward. These
prices make the weight of an, honest silver
dollar $50 grains and a fraction, or 81
grains heavier than two silver dollars now
are. OF course, the silver dollar now in
circulation is worth a dollar and goes from
hand TO hand for 81 because 1t is put out
by the United States government ard guar
anteed and indorsed by the government.
If that guarantee is withdrawn the dollar
falls like a stone to IS cents. Burns says:
THE best-laid plans % mice and men gang
aft agley." And how often in the history
of politics have we seen the most promising
schemes of tricksters brought TO naught,
Here is a striking instance of this. While
the advocates of free coinage are trying to
rally from their crushing defeat and again
lift up their standard Of reputation and
dishonor the very base on which they stand
is sinking away under their feet. The
shrinking value of silver has been for years
the weakness and the menace of their evil
cause; its accelerated fall makes further
effort in their direction well-nigh hopeless.
But there is another phase of this matter
yet worse for the friends of free silver.
Japan, which has been long pointed TO by
them as a silver" country, is now joining
in the march of civilization in her coinage
and currency, as she has so remarka bly, in
every way in recent years. She is now
adopting the gold standard and thus coming
up TO the level of her sister nations. She
has no doubt been melted to this great and
glorious work by last autumn's triumph of
sound money and sound politics here in
America, believing, as she well may. that
we have definitely and finally chosen the
golden standard of honesty and honest
money. j. IL. l..

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
Bad Roads still Affect business I'm
fayorabIy-Prfces steady.

Trade was rather quiet yesterday on the
wholesale streets. which was due doubtless to
the rain and muddy country roads. and is but
a temporary delay TO business. As the retain
merchants now seem TO be in a buying mood and
as stocks are low the outlook for business is
encouraging. In nearly all lines prices have an
upward tendency. sugar continues TO advance
and coffee rules weak. but unchanged. Druggists
are having a good trade. Provisions are moving
well at the late advance. Dry goods are steady,
unless it be in some lines OF cotton goods, which
have an advancing tendency. on Commission
row less complaint OF duh business is heard.
Low prices continue as a rule. Poultry is firm
at quotations and receipts light. Eggs are weak
at quotations and receipts large Hardware mer-
chants and cOnfectiOncrs report trade improving.
Leather dealers are having a good trade anu
PRICES are much stronger than thirty days ago
The local grain market is rather quiet. ke-
