Mr.. Bryan charged he Republican
patty with many inconsistencies, say
ing: You will find that the Republi
cans to-day are hurrahing for things
that they denounced a few years ago.
1he Republican party used to stand
for bi-metallism, and all the Eepubli-
cans hurrahed for bi-metallism. Now
1t stands for the gold standard, anu
they hurrah for the gold standard. They
used to hurrah for the greenbacksr
now they hurrah for the national bank
notes. They usei to hutrah for tas
reduction of the national bank debt.
row they stand for the bank currency
that can only be permanent when based
Oh bonds. 1t is long distance from
paying off the debt to making it per-
manent, but they hurrah Just the san e.

and bad trusts, and that they cam vt

THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.
SALISBURY. Nd, ~ October 24.--ln
his speech at Preston, Nd, Mr. Bryan
made reference to the financial ques-
ton in response OF an inquiry The
question was, How about Is to L.
Mr.. Bryan said: If you want to
know about Is to ! l will tell you. l6
to was the paramount issue in 1896.
but the Republicans have done so many
mean things that we are kept busy on
the new things. If the Republi-
cans dispute the Is to l tell them we
have a Republican President Re-
publican Senate and House and they
have never attempted to change the
16 to / ratio, and Mr.. Mckinley is now
coming silver dollars at the ratio Of
16 to l without waiting for the aid or
consent Of any other nation on earth.
Until the Republican party proposes
to change the ratio, l object to their
discussing the ratio. When they pro-
pose to change it we will discuss it
with them"
In his Preston speech Mr.. Bryan
charged that all persons contribute to
the trusts. Il want to tell YOU he
said, that the trouble with the Re-
publican party is that it makes all the
Republicans contribute to its campaign
funds, and makes all the Democrats
too, not by coming to each man and
asking him for it because the Republi-
can party collects a campaign fund
from the corporations, and then these
corporations collect from you, and the
trouble is that the corporations insist
on collecting a great deal more from
the people than they give to the party.
We would much better contribute to
the party ourselves than to contribute
ten times as much 20 the trusts"

A Wonderful Offer to Women.

: We have received word Of a most remark.
able offer which is to DO made to women by
The DeSsea@0r, Of New York.
Taking the fact that next year begins a
new century, The DelineGtor offers to distFi.
butte ST., 500 among 1901 women. The plan
is SO cleverly arranged that a woman living in
q small town or village, has just as good a
chance to win one of these 1901 prizes as a
woman living in a city-because the prizes
are given for tho number of subscriptions
secured in a town in proportion to tile popu.
lation of that town, instead of being given
simply to those who send tho largest list OF
subscribers-which, of course, are most easily
obtained in big cities. Another clever feature
of the plan ia, that all the cities and towns OF
the United States and Canada have been ar
ranged III seven classes. The cities of the
greatest population are grouped in Glass /,
and as these ciLios arc not very many, the
prizes offered arc twenty-eight; the high.
est prize being $500, and tho lowest SIS. 90.
The total amount of prizes given away in this
class is s 900. The remaining smaller towns
and villages fall into six other classes, and as
the number of towns in q class increases, be-.
cause, of course, there are more small towns
than large ones, the amount of prizes given
away to a class increases, so that in. Glass I.
there viii BIO $1,000 distributed among COL
winners.
Furthermore, to everyone who fails to win
one OF the 1901 prizes there will be pad an
extra commission on subscriptions, provided
they equal one out of every two hundred in
habitants of The town from which the con.
testant sends them.
This is altogether a very liberal offer, and
one which the famous old Despeator is we'll
able to make good. From our point Of view,
we do not see why such IN offer needs to DO
made by tho Publishers Of The Detsneatog. for
we believe it already has nearly half a million
subscribers Its strong hold upon tho afTcc-
tons of American Women has come in the
past generation, from its practical advice
about dress details and home matters.
