Rorrowers Of Tobacco.

There are some smokers who do not
buy tobacco or cigars more than once
year. There is probably no other article
which is SO often borrowed and not re-
paid as tobacco. A wit in this city once
said in u newspaper paragraph, The
American people last year used 1000, :
600 pounds of chewing tobacco, half OF
which they borrowed" There is almost
as much truth as fun in that assertion.

 Dinner was served in the cafe. A long table was arranged, around which num- Der of invited guests assembled. The d'n- ner served was an elegant one. The win dows and. doors around the cafe were crowded with an eager throng straining to catch a glimpse of one of America 8 leading citizens.
 After dinner a. public reception was held in the lobby of the hotel. MT Bryan had a kind word and a hearty hand-shake for each of his numerous well-wishers, and seemed not in the least bit bored. It took a cordon of policemen to keep the crowd moving.
 Later in the afternoon he was taken for a drive through the city and at night he dined at the residence of John w. Tomlin- son. After the speaking he returned to MT. Tomlinson's residence, where he spent the night.

 Not New Proposition
 "I repeat that this is not new propo- sition. We had double standard for elghty-one years. Eighty-one years of successful operation; eighty-one years without a political party opposing it. Did ever any question have such universal sanction?'
 The speaker then dwelt on the opposl- tion that sprung up to other questions in political parties. including the subject or tariff.
 ''For eighty-one years" he continued, mo political party ever denounced bimet- allism. England adopted the gold standard in 1816, and down to 1873 we had bimetai- lism. No party ever demanded that we must abandon bimetallism and adopt the gold standard because England did so. Yet America changed her financial system without discussion and without any politi- cal party ever asking for 1t. Read their prophecies now on the disaster to result on going back to bimetallsm. Yet we went so long without a change and the change came without discussion. It was made In 1s73 and congress itself did not know 1t. You may think 1t strange that a. bill should pass congress without Its contents being known. You can read the records and find where Speaker Blaine and other prominent men said they did not know il would demonetize silver"
 As an instance he mentioned an occur renee in the passage of the Dingley bill After 1t had gone through both houses il was engrossed and had received the presi- dents signature some one asked who put section 22 in the bill. The fraud was SC apparent that the attorney general wrote an opinion nulIifying the section.

"Oh, that we had had such an attorney general in 1873 lApplause)
 "All wanted to know who put section 22 an the bill, and it will go down in history with that famous interrogatory. who hit Billy Patterson?'" daughter)
 Mir Bryan then declared that during the twenty-three years the gold standard had been in vogue no party had ever dared to declare for 1t. The people endured some thing twenty-two years which no political party dared announce for. They had chance in 1892. Instead. all three of the great political parties declared against a gold standard. There were qualifying words which did not change the meaning. He had come to believe that they were put in there as steps on which the nomi- nees left the platform after getting in of flee. Tn 1898 the democrats after enduring it twenty-three years, declared tine gold standard un-American and anti-Americans and pledged themselves to drive It out and re-establish the money of the constitution. The populists and free silver republicans adopted similar platforms. Six and a half millions of people voted under the ban ner of bimetalism, more than ever sup ported one banner before in the history of the United States. Some will say seven mill lions voted against us. What platform did they vote under? It pledged itself to in- ternatonal bimetallism- Thirteen and half millions voted for bimetallism, only uliIeTl0B m pn6 means or securing 1t.
 There was 8 party said MT. Bryan, with some irony, (which advocated the gold standard" (Applause)
 The Boiting Democrats
 "I call them bolting democrats, because never felt justified in calling them na- tional democrats. They tried to undo all Jackson and Jefferson had done, didn't ex- pect to carry a county in the union, yet they called themselves national democrats. These bolting democrats did not discover the good qualities of the gold standard until they got out of the Chicago conven- tion. They signed a minority report in the convention, setting forth that they were afraid of free coinage because. it would in- jure the prospects of international bi- metallism. They went down to Indiana polls, forgot about bimetallism and de- clared for gold. They have the honor or, the infamy of being the only party in hundred years to declare for gold. (Ap- plause)
 ''I don't mean to say that every man who believed in the gold standard voted with the bolters, because some voted with the republicans, thinking 1t was the same thing Q.aughter)
 "They only carried one precinct in the union. Ths-on was in Kansas. There were six voters in the precinct and three voted for the gold standard. Some may try to get out of this argument by saying the republican platform was built merely to catch votes. I will show them how they can't get out. Even after President Mckinley was elected he sent distinguished men to foreign nations, crying out in every market place, Helpi Help us out Of the hole in which the gold standard has placed

DIVERS WORKING UPON THE WRECK It Is Feared That Many of the Dead Were Blown to
 Pieces.

Havana. March 2.-The divers are work ing hard upon the wreck of the Maine. N is feared that many of the dead were blown to pieces, which would account for the failure to find their bodies where ex- pected.
 The wrecking tug I. J. Merritt, of the Merritt & Chapman Wrecking and Der rick company, commanded by Capt. D. A. Wolcott, arrived here from New York this morning and later in the day moved barge near the wreck and commenced work. The Merritt is powerful boat, but another and bigger tug is expected shortly long as she can be useful. The wreckine company expects from now on to keep four expert divers at work.
 Two Spanish divers were at work about the wreck today, and it Is understood they will report to the Spanish board appointed to inquire into the cause of the disaster Capt. Peral is the president of the Spanish board of inquiry.
 The barge brought with the wreckine tug l. J. Merritt is proving of great value in carrying away debris, and in the course of few days much of the wreck above water will be removed. No bodies were found today, and there was no salvage ol any value.

us. When the revenues of the government don't meet the expenditures you can't make me believe republican administra- tion would spend $100.000 of the peoples money trying to get rid of a good thing. Mckinley has practically admitted our position.
 L "You can't say anything too mean about the gold standard. It is the waller dog of American politics. It has been repudi- ated here and in other countries It has never been indorsed by the producers of wealth in any country. The trouble is tre producers of wealth in other countries don't have as much influence in legislation as they do here That is saying something very bad for Fthe foreigners" . s.t The woIcott Commission i MT. Bryan referred to the commission which went abroad in the interest of bi- metallism- He spoke of the presidents s glowing reference in his message to Frances offer of acquiescence. Why did France at once signify it's willingness to join with the United States if the gold standard had proven satisfactory in that country. He then read clipping from a newspaper giving an account of the meet ing of 5,00J German farmers in Berlin to demand bimetallism The popular branch of the general assembly of that country had also passed resolution indorsing bi- meta1lism.
 .Some people,. he continued, "say until England desires bimetalllsm we should abide by their wishes' He then read a clipping which showed that on March II, 1896, the house of commons had passed a resolution deploring the fall in silver and pledging the nation to aid in restoring the parity between the two metals. The To of the treasury gave such notice to Ger many, France and the United States. "we evidently took notice.' said he, "for the republican platform was moulded after this declaration" Qaughter.)
 He next showed that a petition signed by $50 labor organizations to the prime minister asked that the house of com mons fulfill It's pledge Numerous mer- chants asked for 1t and ten out of four teen of a commission to inquire into the agricultural conditions signed report asking for it. Two thirds of the popuN- tion pointed to the gold standard as the cause of the depression and bimetallism as the only hope for struggling humanity. ssThen," asked the speaker, "why is it they cling to the gold standard?'
 British Capital
 : From his vest pocket Mir. Bryan extract ed another newspaper clipping dating back to the time when the Wolcott commission went abroad It said that every one was confident that conference would be granted although the movement met the solid opposition of British capital.
