word has been heard from these

WORD mas been heard from these
patriots.
The silvery tones. if not the silvery
arguments, have disappeared from
Mr.. BrYan's voice. 1t was noticed in
Ohio that owing to excessive speaking
his voice had lost much of its pleasant
meditation, and had become strained
and hoarse- 1t is thought this was
due to some extent to the factory
smoke floating around through the
atmosphere where he spoke. Last
year he wasn't troubled in this
respect.
1t was not to be supposed that
England would agree to open the
minis of India in advance of any in
ternatiQnal agreement, or even con-
ference, and her action in the matter
of silver does not at all argue her
opposition to the cause of true BIZ
metallism. The prospect is that Eng
land will willingly send delegates to
an international conference looking
Ito the rehabilitation OF silver as a
primary money.
Not so much is being heard now as
short time ago about the retaliation
of foreign countries against the pro
visions of our new tariff measure. \
great deal was said about the injury
to our export trade which would re-
suit from the action which foreigners
would feel obliged to take to Offset
the results: but official figures now
show that our exports of grain and
manufactured articles continue right
along in spite OF the tariff, and. III
fact, that they are increasing rather
! than decreasing under it.
1t is an actual fact, rather than a
campaign story, that the advocates
of the frec-silYer theory are gradually
and gracefully breaking away from
their former convictions in e gard to
the white metal and are looking
about for other ''issues." Many men
who supported free silver in last
years campaign. seeing the way the
drift is going, are dropping the silver
theory and coming out squlrely in
favor of absolute tiatisin. II is, how
ever, but a step from free silver and
the issuance OF money worth forty
cents on tile hundred to unlimited
paper money with nothing behind it
to assure its redemption.
