The Real Paramount Issue.

Ex-District Attorney George D. Rey-
nolds Of Missouri hits the nail on the
head in this fashion:
"The paramount issue now, as four
years ago. is prosperity. What the
people are most interested in today ia
how to continue and promote pros
perity. At the foundation of that is
The money question All know that to
Jeopen that means disaster Mr.. Bry-
an, in the spirit of dictator and the
determination Of a zealot, forced that
Issue into the Democratic platform and
has challenged the country to a second
battle on the free and unlimited coin
nge of silver at the fixed ratio of 16 to
l. 1t is the money question that is
now before the American people for
their determination; it is the question
Of questions; it is the issue above all
Issues; all others issues are mere make
weights and but of slight Importance !"

Senator ScOtt's Warming TO Mary
land and other Doubtful States.
Commenting on the action Of Senator
Wellington of Maryland in going over
to Bryan, Senator Scott Of West Vir-
glnia recently remarked as follows
"Who will say now that the warning
of the national committee as to the
danger of losing the senate was uncall-
ed for? 1t was recently shown that if
the Democrats should carry this year
the states to elect new senators that
they carried last time and two others
of the doubtful states, the next senate
would have but two Republican ma
jority, and that if one other Republic
an senator were lost the senate would
be tie, with the casting vote in the
hands of the vice president. That one
Republican senator has now been lost
already. Senator Wellington of Mary
land has gone over to the Democrats.
This surely makes it all the more i'm
portant for our friends to exert them
selves in all the doubtful states that
are to elect new senators next winter"

Mr.. Bryan admits that he and his

BRYAN COULD DANISH GOLD.
He Would Do II, Too, Unless He VII
Olated His own Promise.


Let the voters and honest men Of
America not forget this fact, as shown
forth by Secretary of the Treasury
Gage:
'There is no doubt Mr. Bryan could
order his secretary of the treasury to
make payment in silver Of all of the
public debt payable in coin and for all
current disbursements of the govern
ment as well, which amount to $780,
900 to $1,750,0O0 per day. That he
would give such an order, too, is very
certain If he is in the same mind that
he was when in 1895, for he was then
quoted as saying, III there is any one
who believes that the gold standard is
q good thing or that it must be main
tanned, want him not to cast his vote
for me, because l promise him 1t will
not be maintained in the country lon
ger than l am able to get rid of It. "
Bryan, as the New York Mail and
word Of his innumerable threats to
overthrow the gold standard. On the
contrary, he has persistently reiterated
them. Behind the mask is the sinister
face of the same dangerous dema-
gogue, and beneath the cloak of "impe-
rialism" he bears the torch of the in
cendiary.
A very significant fact in this con-
nection is that Bryan "dodged" the sill

asked point blank by correspondent
if he would pay the government coin

by Secretary Gage, Mr.. Bryan fatty

The Democratic press of the solid
south is doing great work in exposing
the speciousness of Mr.. Bryans prom
ise to ask congress to confer independ-
ence upon the Filipinos. Many of these
journals accept 1t frankly as "blarney"
to catch the anti-imperialist vote in the
east. More than one Of Importance,
like the Charlotte Observer and the
Memphis Scimitar, have gone over
frankly to Mckinley. Others that have
not bolted the nominee of their party
try to keep their readers in good tenn
per by denouncing or ridiculing his an

the Facts Contradict Him.
You can talk to the farmer from
now until election day, but you will
never convince him that a gold stand
ard has brought anything but ruin and
distress to the farmer"
This is the kind Of stuff Mr.. Bryan
retails in agricultural communities.
Everybody knows that from the very
hour that Bryan and Organism were
IefeateC In 1896 the farmers of the
country entered upon an era of pros
perity unexampled in our history.
When the menace of free silver was
then removed and the country assured
Of a monetary system firmly estab
lished on the gold standard, the farmer
knew that he would receive full dol
lar for every hundred cents worth Of
his products, and from that time to
this he has been steady gamer in
wealth. The farmers of the country
are worth almost $2,000,000,000 more
than they were at the close Of Cleve-
lands free trade administration. Their
crops are worth S260,000,000 more and
their live stock $625, 100000 more this
year than they were In 1895. Ex-Sec-
getary ]. Sterling Morton Of Cleveland's
cabinet and an excellent authority on
such matters, is responsible for these
figures. How the farmers prospered
in their foreign trade is sufficiently in
dicated by the following table Of our
exports of breadstuffS:

of breadstuffs:

These figures speak for themselves.
Bryan can't refute their argument, and
he won't try to do so. They show that
our exports of agricultural products
have gone up under Republican ad-
mlnistration and down under Demo
cratic administration. Yet Bryan in
his speech at Topeka ignored the plain
record of our commercial progress and
assured the farmers that they were
being oppressed by Republican policy!

Reports have been received showing
that the recent tremendous increase in
the foreign demand for our coal is at
tracing attention in business circles.
The latest London cables indicate that
very large investments are being made,
on both sides of the A Atlantic, in Ameri-
can coaltields, in view Of this increased
demand. which bids fair to be perma-
nent, provided the Republicans are sue
cessful in the forthcoming election.
Commenting upon this new phase of
the coal situation, Senator Scott of
West Virginia recently said: This is
a matter which intimately concerns
the vital interests Of our people in
West Virginia, which now stands third
in the list of coal producing states and
has a good prospect of soon standing
second, and it ought to be very serious
ly considered by them.
1T is important for them. and for all,
to remember that the continuance of
this very favorable development for
on the continuance Of the present Re-
publican administration. This is be-
cause Republican success would insure
the preservation of the present stand
ard of value, while Democratic success
would cut all values down one-half.
In the latter case. of course, all the
pending extensive investments would
cease at once, and the great benefits
to the mine workers and thousands of
others which would flow from the
prospective vast increase in the pro-
duction of coal would not materialize." ;"

In the Philippines there are oppor-
tunities for new development of
American enterprise. 1t is rich trop-
ical land, larger than Italy. 1t is vir-
gin of railroads. Its fertile soil is
hardly scratched. Its rich mines of
gold and other metals have hardly
known the sight Of modern machinery.
Its water power is running to waste.
Its millions Of people have scarcely be-
gun to use manufactured goods. The
effect Of an American occupation Of
the Philippines will be triple. The
Americans who go there will better
their own condition. They will create
new markets for American goods, and
in leaving home they will relieve the
congestion here and improve the op-
portunities Of all that remain.
