GERMAN "NILLIoNAIREs."

London or N"W York.

Berlin Letter in Wilmington News.
The differences in the unit of money
in different countries makes a consider
able difference in the practical mean
ing Of the word millionaire" Web
sters dictionary defines a millionaire
as zone whose wealth is counted by
millions" In popular use one who has
a million is regarded as millionaire
In the United States 1t would be ST.
coo 900. In England it would be Gl,-
900 900 sterling. But as the pound ster-
ling is worth $iS6 and a fraction in our
money, the EnGlishman would require
nearly five times as much actual capi-
tai as the American before the Eng
lishman could take rank in the noble
army of martyrs known as million
aires"
Here in Germany, where the unit of
value is the mark, which Is worth %
cents and a fraction i'm our money,
much less actual capital is required to
make a man millionaire than i'm the
United States. l had this fact i'm
pressed upon me by reading in a Ger
man newspaper that according to the
Statistical Yearbook of Berlin, that
city Of over 100000 inhabitants con-
tains 2O92 millionaires-"each person
who has an income of more than SO, coo
marks being reckoned as a million
aire." Thirty-siX thousand marks are
less than S9,OOO-and $4,000 a year
seemed to me To be a rather small
millionaire" income. l found, how
ever. by rapid computation, that 800, %
900 marks is a little more than 3la per
ceutum on 100000 marks (about $780,
aiTe according to the German unit
value. According TO the same author
ity there are Az "thaler millionaires"

so that each of this variety Of Million

Referring to the silver men being
characterized as anarchists and social
lists during the campaign, Mr.. Bryan
went on to say that maybe they were

ions. biases, tendencies, circumstances,
environments, party ties all have their

There can be no international BIZ
metallic agreement reached by invita-

When we ask them to help us raise the
value of our money we ask them to de-
crease the value of their holdings.

clare for Independent bimctalism and
then say to the money -grabbers Of Eu-

At the close of his address Mr.. Bryan
held a busy reception on the platform,
hundreds crowding forward to grasp
his hand When he finally got away
hc was taken to the Elks' reception
where he spent an hour and made a
brief speech.

An idea Of the mercilesSneSS Of the
remarks of the speakers may be had
from Mr.. Garman's comment that Il
speaker greater than himself. OF world
wide reputation, full of humor, full of
wit and full of chicken salad" would
soon be heard. That was not the for
NAL introduction of Mr.. Bryan, how
ever. Mr.. Garman made speech brlm-
full of running wit and was followed
by Chairman Hart, who presented the
DISTINGUISHED guest.
1t was quite a while before the ap-
plause subsided and permitted Mr..
Bryan to proceed. The hap-hazard
spirit of the gathering had not dscon-
certed him, evidently. He proceeded to
talk in an even, subdued tone of voice
and for over ten minutes did not cease
a running fire of anecdote which kept
his hearers in an uproar,
Toward the conclusion of his 10
minute speech Mr.. Bryan said that
such an occasion suggested to him that
he had possibly allowed his struggles
for success and his serious view of life
to interfere with the relaXatiOns al
lowed to man. He was not alone in
such fault. Others, too many others,
suffered from it. But in pursuing
pleasures he would not forget that one
may allow ones desires to lead in the
wrong direction. Man should remem-
Der that like the humming bird or the
vulture he will be led to the sweet or
bitter things of life according to the
control over his inclinations.
Mr.. Bryan closed with a patriotic ref
erence to the closer union brought
about by the present crisis. From start
to finish his remarks were constantly
interrupted by applause.
Before leaving the lodge room, Mr.
Bryan affixed his signature to the reg
lister. He was driven at once to the
Hotel Jermyn.

IT IS NOT a NEW IDEA.

The silverites are advocating no new
thing, but asking for a restoration of
the old policy, which the people de-
mand. We had bimetalism for eighty
one years without the consent of any
foreign nation, but that was when we
were small No party in all that time
denounced it and, strange TO say, we
abandoned it without any party asking
that ii be abandoned, In substantial
tiOn of the claim that demOnetizatiOn
was effected without the knowledge of
congress, by proving the possibility of
such a thing, he called attention to
Section 22" Of the Dingley bill, which
would never have been adopted he
contended, if congress knew II was
there.
After nineteen years, all three lead
ing parties declared for bimetalism, the
Republicans saying, THE gold stand
ard must be maintained until the con-
sent of other nations for international
bimetalism is secured" This wasn't to
catch votes. Mr. Mckinley sent a
commission to Europe to induce sthe
foreign mOneyed nations TO join in in
ternatiOnal bimetalism. France joined
with us in asking England to come into
the agreement The house of commons
unanimously voted in favor Of it. Two
hundred and fifty labor organizations
and a commission of farmers declared
in favor Of It, But England didn't join.

TWO CLASSES OF GOLD BUGS.

The gold standard men were divided
into two classes. The first advocated
it because they didn't know what it
meant. The other knew what it means
but didn't dare tN his neiShhor about
it.
He denied the right of the finanCiers
to demand that the money question be
taken out of politics and left for them
to solve. The constitution in declaring
all men created equal. repletcd this
idea, ana Cod never intended it, for
if he had he would given brain only to
the bankers and the rest of the people
he would have provided with backs
solely. with which to bear the burdens
the finanCierS might impose on them.
The interests of the finanCiCrS are not
on the same side as those of TIE people
at large from whom they went to do the
thinking.
The money question is simple. Any
one who can understand the principal
of teetertawter can understand the
money question When dollar goes
up in value property goes down. When
a dollar goes down property goes up.
The gold bug applies the melting
pot tast to the money question. That
is not fair test. It ignores the inn
portant thing, the dollars purchasing
| power.
| An absolutely honest dollar is an i'm
| possibility. \ dollar that rises is just
| as honest or dishonest as a dollar which
| falls. We must select some system that
| will give us the nearest approach to an
| honest dollar
If a dollar rises in value people who
| own property will be hurt by the rise
| and vice-versa. Referring to the de-
mOnetizatiOn of silver, Mr.. Bryan re-
| peated the quotations from Sherman,
| Mckinley, Carlisle and Blaine, which
| he and his followers used in the cam
| paign, and COntended that each of them
| had by their utterances set the few
! against the many. Sherman said it
! would be a serious thing to all except
! the capitalists out of debt and the
| salaried officer, Blaine said that
/ the holders of fixed investments
undeserved advantage, Carlisle held
that it would divide society into two
classes, the idle holders Of idle capital
and the struggling masses, and that
| more misery would be caused thereby
! than was ever caused by war; famine
! and pestilenCe.
