FIVE Tons OF PAPER.

The REGISTER office received in
one shipment last week JOB bundles
of white print paper, besides large
quantity ofjob stock, the whole in
voice amounting to more than five
tons. This is probably the largest
single shipment of white paper ever
made to any newspaper in Allen
county, and is an indication of the
large scale on which the REGISTER
does business.
Buying in such large quantities,
shipping direct from the manufact-
urers and taking all the cash dis
counts, we get the very lowest prices
that can be made ON first class stock
and are therefore able and ready
to meet all legitimate competition.
Specially low prices will be made on

we think he does we'll to make his
hay while the sun is shining. But a
great many people find it little hard
to understand how a man can honest
ly earn $774.48i in two hours. And we
are frank to cay that the price does
seem just little steep for that kind
of speech. AS Mr.. Bryan himself
remarked, however, to the writer
hereof the next morning in speaking
about this very thing, "Any fool
could sell a suit of cloths. for fraction
of its value, but it takes a genius to
sell poor suit for several times it's
valued ~ Judged by the standard
which he himself suggests, Mr.. Bryan
is certainly a genius.
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1897-09-17

Mr.. Bryan either willfully or ignor-
antly misstated the truth also when
he attempted to show that the price
of silver would advance to a parity
with gold under free coinage. "What
man of you" he said, "having silver
to sell would take fifty cents an ounce
for it when you could take it to the
mint and get 81 30 an ounce? That is
equivalent to saying that under free
coinage the government would paw
Sl.29 an ounce for all the silver
brought to the mint. And that is not
true. Under free coinage the govern
ment simply receives silver, coins it
and hands it back to the owner. 1t
does not buy an ounce of silver and it
does not pledge its faith for the
maintenance of the par value of any
coin it minis. Hence free coinage
would not increase the demand for
silver any more than the establish
ment of grist mill in a town where
there had not been one would in
crease the demand for flour in that
town. The Government could make
free coinage silver legal tender and
thus compel it to be taken at par in
the payment of debts, but it could
not compel a merchant to sell as much
of his goods for silver dollar as he
would sell for gold dollar. The
inevitable result, unless the history
of every nation on earth should be
reversed, would be the depreciation
of silver coin to its bullion value. Mr..
Bryan says we cannot know this till
we try it. He might as well say that
a man cannot know whether the bite

doubling the value of the half that re-
mains. And this was done by con-
spiracy on the part of the men who
owned the gold" Is there any body
so blind as not to see that Mr.. Bryan
falsifies the facts in order to make
them fit his illustration? The wheat
that he talks about was DESTROYED
utterly so as to be of no farther use
whatever. But was the silver money
of this country destroyed, blotted out
of existence, by the act of '73? Ger
tainly not. On the contrary there is
now fifty times as much silver in
circulation, full legal tender and at
par, as there was at any time while
we had "bi-metallism." Silver coin
of any denomination was a curiosity
in 1873 when silver was "struck
down." whereas it is now the COM
monest form of money we have. If
Mr.. Bryan doesn't know these facts
regarding the present use of silver is
he smart enough to be president? If
he does know them, and deliberately
misrepresents them, is he honest
enough?

of rattlesnake is poisonous until he
tries it.

The kernel of the whole controversy
in this money question is right here:
Will free coinage of silver at the ratio
OF Is to l with gold bring gold and
silver to parity and keep them
there? Mr.. Bryan says he "believes"
it will. But the only reason he gives
for this belief is the one we have Just
considered and shown to be founded
on falsehOood. Shall we set aside
the unvarying testimony of all history
and accept instead the mere opinion
of political mountebank, talking for
money? Mr.. Bryan has never made
an argument worth a moments con-
sideration to establish the proposition
that free coinage would give us
actual bimetallism. And yet unless
he can establish that proposition the
'cause" of bimetallism has absolutely
no foundation upon which to rest.

The speech was patch work, utter
ly without logical or orderly arrange
ment, and for that reason hard to re-
view with any consecutiveness. We
believe that all the "points" he made
have been touched upon in the fore
going, but if any of our readers recall
any others that seemed to them
worthy of refutation we should be
glad to have our attention called to
them. AS whole the speech was
undoubtedly disappointment to the
majority of the great audience that
gathered to hear it. The thoughtless
and the uniformed laughed at the
cheap stories, mistakiDg assertion for
fact and ridicule for argument; but
the more thoughtful and the better in
formed, even of his own party, could
not help seeing that Mr.. Bryan lodged
the real points at issue in the CON-
troversy, and that good many places
in his argument were CLOSED over
with sarcasm or humor because they
would not bear close scrutiny. An
other thing that dampened the en-
thusiasm of great many people was
the knowledge that Mr.. Bryan was
to receive half the gate receipts for
his two hours speech. Generally
speaking people are liberal and do
not object to man making a living
in any honest way. But the Presi-
dency of this mighty Republic is a
great and dignified office, and there
seems to be a certain lack of respect
and propriety in one who has been al
most elected to it descending from
that high plane to the level of an

ing for the best terms and exacting
the uttermost farthing. The REGIS
TER does not wish TO be understood
as making any complaint on this
score. Mr.. Bryan knows very well
that he will never be president and

One of the baldest of Mr.. Bryan's
misrepresentation was his assertion
that the Republicans last fall argued
that an advance in the price of farm
products or other commodities would
be a detriment to the people. The
Republicans did nothing of the kind.
What they did do was to argue that
an advance which was due solely to
q deprecated dollar would do harm
rather than good. That was the only
kind of an advance Mr.. Bryan was
talking about at that time. He
scOffed and jeered at the very idea
that there could ever be any advance
in prices so long as we had only the
"dear money" of the gold standard.
The Republicans argued last year
that the true road to prosperity was
to pass a protective tariff law that
would put the shops and mills at
work and thus make a market for
labor and for the products of the farm.
Mr.. Bryan argued that the true road
was to depreciate the currency.
Which was right? Which is better.
