found himself elevated To the chief
magistracy of the country, the finan-
cial difficulty being removed, he de-
termined TO set up an equipage. He
bought fine pair of horses, engaged
an Irish coachman, and proceeded 10

of great wealth in New York known
to be going TO the ball, from Mrs. Mar

the ball ut least one letter threatening
her life If she attended IT. Mrs. Mar
tin received u dozen. Two Of them
were written in n red liquid of some
sort, which the writer said was blood,
but which seemed to be paint. Some
of these letters Informed her that her
house was to be blown 10 pieces on
the afternoon Of the ball. Others
warned her that n bomb would be
thrown into her carriage on the way
TO the Waldorf, while another told of

Aren't Bryan and his friends making
great mistake by continuing the dis
cussion of the silver question at this
time? IL is nearly four years until the
next presidential election, and the peo-
pie can learn whole lot about silver
and the effect OF cheap money upon
wages and savings in four years, They
learned much that Bryan didn't want
them TO know during the four short
months Of the last campaign 1t Is no
ticeable that in the states where the ques
ton was most discussed the majori-
ties against Bryan were heavy or his
majorities were UNEXPECTEDLY small.
If the silverites will think Of the great
amount of work done in the states west
Of Pennsylvania, east of Colorado and
north OF Tennessee and reflect upon the
result OF the election, they will, II they
arc wise and want to win in 1900, con-
clude to drop educational work and to
proceed on some less dangerous line. Ii
Bryan and his friends would stop talk
ing about silver for three years. it would
be difficult for the tgoldbugs" to get
people to listen to their convincing argu-
ments II our hard times should unfor
tunately continue, Bryan might step out
a few days before the 1900 election and
say. II told YOU so, " and majority of
the voters, without having given the
matter much thought, might conclude
that perhaps the ''crime of 1878" was
responsible for the lack of prosperity.
But if they study the question for four
whole years they will be certain that
neither silver nor any kind of cheap
money ever brought prosperity to any
country, though they have often brought
hard times. The wage earners will un-
derstand that l8 to l is an underhanded
scheme to lower wages and the farmers
that they cannot, by Juggling with cheap
money, get any advantage of the rest OF
the world in the matter Of prices OF farm
products. This educational work must
be stopped short, or the cause of free
silver is lost
