makes the following suggestion:
Reading Of Mr.. Bryan's contention
in his canvass that there should be no

governed. 1t Is obvious that the south

should have been granted their indie

HEWITT ON THE ISSUE.

Strong Presentation Of the Leadtag
oaestion BEFORE the People.
Ex-Mayor and ex-Congressman Abram
9. Hewitt Of New York in recent let
ter has defined the question ut issue
most admirably. Mr. Hewitt 10 ono of
the leading Gold Democrats Of the
country, and no mans opinion carries
more weight than his. He says:
..You ask whether l believe In the
coinage Of silver at the ratio of 10 to 1.
You might ns well ask me whether
believed that an ounce should be made
to pass for n pound In the ordinary
transactions of commerce. The ratio
is false ratio. The value OF silver
measured by gold is, as every one
knows, not 10 to 1. but 50 to 4. The
proposition Of the platform. therefore,
is to declare that SO cents shall BY law
be made equal to 81. This absurd
proposition ls based upon the professed
belief that In 1873. when silver was de-
monetized, n crime was committed by
which creditors benefited at the ex-
pense Of debtors. The fact IL that sill
yer was then overyalued, and hence Its
decentralization was relief to debtors
and OF no benefit to creditors.
1.-THE extraordinary thing Is that the
Kansas City platform proposes to com
NIT the very crime which It falsely de-
nounces as having been perpetrated In
1873. 1t proposes to substitute 90
cent dollar In payment of debts which
ought to be discharged with 100 cents
to the dollar. This Is robbery and
therefore a crime In which no honest
man can have any part. The pretense
that the bullion value OF silver could
be raised to It's coinage value by the
fat of the government Is ridiculous.
In fact, we have tried the experiment
by purchasing more than 5000. O0O,OOO
worth OF silver in order to preserve the
parity between silver and gold at the
ratio of lG to 1. We have seen the
price of silver steadily fall in the face
OF these large purchases. The United
States strained Its ability to the last
thread OF tension In this effort. Uni
yersal distress existed, and we were
only relived from general bankruptcy
by the repeal of the Sherman act. To
repeat this experiment In time when
business Is good is an act Of folly SO
glnring that it is difficult for sane
man to understand that the proposition
could have received single vote In
the convention"
Oar Sieadiiy Increasing Exports.
For the first eight months OF this
year our total exports amounted to
$915, 1853, as compared with 1892
59O,S23 for the same period last year,
an increase of $133,156,s30, while i'm
ports increased from S5l5.l90.433 tc
1854. 6909S4. or only $495O9,5o1. This
shows an excess of exports larger by
1896. $50 than that of the flrst eight
months of 1899. or. Including gold and
silver, nearly $94. zoo, 600. The aet bal
ance this year is about 1881, 00O. 600. or
ut the rate OF $3.50. 000. 900 for the full
