til the recent rise in prices, did
he ever contend that the law OF
supply and demand had anything =
to do with the purchasing power
of the dollar! His argument
has until lately been that the
real value of the products Of sol!
and toll always remained equatle,
and that scarcity in the circulat-
inc medium made the power Of the
d ollar greater. Now that he
finds the power of the dollar de-
creasing without having added %
the quantity of the circulating .,ne-
dunn, he talks just as slibly about
supply and demand in the mar's Of
trade being the cause Of the effect.
On the other hand the Republicans
have always contended that the
natural accrotions to the circu!at-
ing medium kept pace with the
expansion in production. and that
other causes could so disturb eN-
listing conditions that there woult!
be a falling off in consumption Of
and & consequent decline in thc
value Of products. Hecen' c enis
have proven the truth Of this. and
the Republicans asc, theref ,fe, no:

tions yindicated. and have also the

man in decidedly explanatory

Mr.. Bryan could trGthfalIy tell
the ponp!e that there are more
furnaces ard factories running to-
day than for thee years. More
men employed. and fewer tramps
than last year: and that one Of
the reasons is. this administration
gives wages instead Of soup houses.
The cry Of the strikers and their
causes is scnscless cry. " hen
there are wages in sight, men can
afford to strike. but when business
is par;slyzea, and the laboring man
goes to the soup house instead of
the shop on mine fer his living,
then there i, nothing 10 strike for.

Two Ways to Cheaper the Dollar

IL these days of rising prices and
returning prosperity throughout
the country the utterances of MIR.
Bryan are not considered of much
moment, yet there are times when
he says things SO utterly at variance
with his previous assertions on the
same subject, that notice of it is
unavoidable. He formerly claimed
that there could be no general rise
in prices until the purchasing pow
er of the dollar was lessened by
adding largely to the volume OF
the circulating medium: but now
that an enlarged demand. created
by general industrial revival
in our land, has caused prices to
rise, he says that the increased de-
mand for our products has cheap
encd the purchasing power of the
dollar, and that this fact has just
fed him in his position. Thus it
is clear that in MIR. Bryan 5 mind
there arc two ways of lessenlng the
purchasing power of money: one
way is to add to its volume in in
definite quantities; the other, to
cause demand for the products
of labor and soil. The latter is a
natural result of the law of supply
and demand, the former the dream
of false theorists who believe that
wealth can be created out of moth
ing.
MIR. Bryan, since it has been
shown that prices can be raised with
out adding to the money supply,
now contends that the idea which he
represents has been vindicatec
thereby, and that the Republicans,
in pointing to the increased prices.
arc only indorsing the policy of ;
cheaper dollar. Evidently Mr.
Bryan imagines common intelli
ccnce can be assailed with impun.
ity, and in his position as chic
thinker for his party, he can make
the most cXtravagant assertion.
and they will be considered th'
essence Of reliability. When. TN

it is Il matter of regret that he
couId not have risen to the DIG

great economic questions, instead
of rchearsing the old issues Of the
last presidential campaign, that
have been settled by the decisive
vote of the American people, and
approved by the return of the
country to that prosperity that
always accompanies good ane
wise governmental policy. His
old story, so we'll and so often told.
about the dog that got all the old

appropriate now than ever
