SPECIAL DECLARATION FOR SILVER
CERTAIN

CERTAIN.
"Will a specific declaration for
the free coinage Of silver and
gold at a ratio Of 16 to l be put
in the platform2"
"Certainly. To drop the ratio
would be equal to dropping the
question, because no one would
believe that ths party was very
sincere in its advocacy of blmet.
allism If we abandon the only
ratio advocated by any consider
able number Of people"
Mr.. Bryan refused to discuss
the relative Importance Of the
three main issues-money, i'm.
perlallsm and trusts saying that
men differ as to their relative
Importance, that he thinks them
all important, and he expects to
make the fight all along the line.
This statement of Mr.. Bryan ia
a political event Of the first mag
nitude. 1t will bring to a sudden
end all negotiations for an evas
ion of the money question. Mr..
Bryan is in better position than
any other man to know what the
position Of the majority in the
Kansas City convention will be,
and he would not have spoken
today as he did without full
knowledge. The man who calls
himself Democrat this year will
do it either because of free silver
or in spIte Of it.
TRUSTS ONE OF THE GREATEST IS
SUES.
MIR. Bryan's speech tonight was
notable because of the presence
of so many Michigan Republicans,
to whom he appealed to abandon
party owned and controlled by
trusts.
He gave a long list of public
questions on which the Republi.
can party had suddenly abandon
ed it's convictions at the dictatiOr
of organized and rapaclous
wealth, and denounced the plum
derIng operations of the Wire
and Steel Trust as an example OF
the scope of the trust system
"The Republican party has
made ambiguous references tc
trusts in their platform this
year." he said, "but the Repub,
icans have the president, the
senate and the house Of repre-.
sentativcs. If ever they do not
act against the trusts now, al
the beginning Of presidential,
campaign, how can we expect
them to act after the campaign
is over?"

the recipient to indicate by a
check mark in the list OF various
advertising forms employed as to
which one had attracted him to

The cases are widely different The railroad subsidized was not built, a large part of the bonds were not issued, those issued are invalid as without consideration, no interest payments have ever been paid and the bonds have no standing in any court in Christendom.

BUT HALF THE STORY.

Smith and Judge Baker, at the
 opera house Monday evening,
 which If told would have converted
 the speeches into republican argu-
 ment. Purposely the article pas
 sed over that point to include it in
 an editorial by itself.
 It was the bond question which
 was saved over for this separate
 article. In that, like other points instanced. Messrs Smith and
 Baker told only half the story. when
 had they told all of it out of their own mouths would they have been confounded.
 Now the history of the bond question is this: In 1856 the people of Yavapai county voted bonds to the amount of S2o2 ,ooo to aid construction of railway from the Atlantic & Pacific railway to
 Prescott. The bonds were issued and the road was built. Yavapai county acknowledged the validity of the indebtedness by paying the interest thereon; and when Coco nino county was created the propor- tionate share of the new county in that debt was admitted, and Yav- apai was released from that portion of the debt. Those bonds bore in- terest at the rate of seven per cent per annum. In 1889 the funding act was passed, by which the terri tory, which could borrow money at five per cent, issued bonds with the proceeds of which to take up local bonds. Under that act the terri tory took up those Yavapai seven per cent bonds, and issued instead territorial five per cent bonds. Now in doing that the territory did not assume the debt. It is charge able, principal and interest, to Yav- apai county, and from that county the territory can and will collect all moneys paid. Yet Judge Baker unblushingly told the people of Nogales that they are taxed to pay the interest upon those bonds. Yavapai will pay the interest and principal, and by the territory talk ing them up there is an annual saving of nearly six thousand dol lars. It is the same way with the Maricopa county bonds and other debentures taken up by the terri tory. A great cry was made also by Judge Baker to the effect that the bonds were invalid under the act, and congress cured that invalidity by special act, pro- cured by Governor Murphy when in congress in 1895, acting at that time upon memorial of the Ari- zona legislature. It was a just debt and should have been validat- ed Otherwise congress would nave passed the act of validation. But Judge Baker didn't tell these things.

Creek marks the dividing line between
Philadelphia aud Delaware Counties,

Wilmss, eyed twenty years, of Darby,

is member of the Society OF Friends.
When asked her reasons for having
the ceremony performed in that way,
sne replied:
