Even the cry Of Deprecated CURRENCY
was answered that II was better to get
a half loaf than no loaf, that all should
be at work ~ living wages rather than
that few only could find employment
ovon granting that silver would be below
par. But we expressed our confidence that
silver would be as good az gold and that
its free coinage would ndd TO the volume
OF money, lead TO the greater distribution
Of money, find its way into enterprises
and promote tho purchasing power OF the
masses. and therefore quicken industries.
This argument was spurned in New Eng
land especially. They preferred to go on
piIing up stocks that nobody could or
would buy; and tho manufacturers began
to lose money. Then came the inevitable
reduction IN wngcs and shutdowns, and
now suffering sbares tens OF thousands OF
men and women and children in the face.
Yes. It's better TO open tle mills than
the mints''--whcn they are to be kept
open and good wages are paid and the
mints have furnished the people of The
Nation with sufficient money to buy the
products OF the mills. But until then let
us not overlook the utility OF the mints.

THE MOVEMENT AGAINST Ny.
BRYAN.

(,
THE political scheming. which has been
noted In certain so-called democratic cir
cles In the East, to subordinate the free
silver question, or eliminate 1t from the
next democratic platform, has Mt last
.reached Texas and. as might have been OK
pected, has been taken up first and prompt
ly by the Galvcston- Dallns News.
That journalistic enterprise, which Is
consistent only in It's hostility towards
the democratic party, has Its sentinel ever
on the watch tower to respond 10 the sig
nails for an attack upon the democratic
organization.
In yesterdays issue the News copied ap-
provingly remarks of writer In the New
York Journal to tho effect that Mr. Bryan
was not the leader the democracy required
in the next campaign. This fight IL will
be seen. is shrewdly pitched against the
recent standard bearer Of tho democracy
rather than against the silver Issue, but
this plan win not deceive the masses, To
strike down Mr.. Bryan. who is the en-
hodIment and recognized champion of the
free coinage idea. would, of course, mean
to reduce that idea TO secondary issue
None know this better than those who
NOW are beginning their warfare upon the
great Nobraskan. They are seeking to
destroy him az n democratic leader ba-
cause his leadership would mean the para
mount assertion OF the democratic finan-
ciai plank as an issue in the next cam
palgn.
But they can not, SO TO speak, pull the
| wool so easily over democratic eyes and
| thereby shelve the FREQ coinage of silver
| as the leading tenet OF democratic faith.
Mr. Bryan is strong with the masses not
only because he Is the most conspicuous
ami the ablest cxpoundrr Of the free Silver
doctrine. but also by reason OF the uni
versal confidence In his sterling honesty
and his regard for the people. His spen-
| did character Is o tower of strength and
| the democrats Ct tho Nation feel that with
| linn In the presidential chair there would
be an honest effort on tho part OF the ex.
ccutiyc to enforce all the demands OF the
democratic platform.

people are confident that his fearlessnesi
