MIR. BRYAN DODGEs.

Secretary Gage recently said that Mr.
the payment of the coin bonds and current
disbursements in silver, thus practically
putting the country silver basis. When
the New York Herald, which has been try
ing to support Mr.. Bryan as an anti-im-
perialist. saw this statement of the secre-
tary it realized that this was an opportuni-
ty to put Mr.. Bryan on record so that the
Herald could support him. To that end
the Herald asked Mr.. Bryan the question:
IF you should be elected President, would
you make payment in silver of all govern
ment bonds which, their face, call for
coin?" 1t is plain, straightforward ques-
ton, which any honest man who is cam
didate for the presidency should answer.
In fact. the American people have a right
TO know what he would do. He could have
said yes or no, but what was Mr.. Bryan's
answer? 1t was: Say Mr.. Bryan de-
clines to be interviewed on that subject"
So Mr.. Bryan, who can tell what he
would do in regard to the Philippines and
who can talk day and night about the dan
gers of Imperialism, will not or dare not
answer the question which is of supremest
Importance, namely, whether or not he
will pay coin bonds in silver. And yet he
Is the man who has kept the silver issue
before the public ever since his defeat in
1896 But for him it would have been
dropped with a curt approval of bimetal-
lism. And when it comes to his personal
action, should he be elected President, Mr..
Bryan refuses to inform the American peo-
pie whether or not he will his author
ity to force the country to a silver basis.
He dare not.
The New York Herald. in putting this
question to Mr.. Bryan, has unwittingly
rendered the country a great service 1t
has put him where he dare not tell the
country what he would do, in the event of
his election. in regard to the use of silver.
That uncertainty. if there were a prospect
of his election, would cause panic before
the election

cept three years and since 1884 IL has never
been above 100. reaching the minimum in
the first year of Mckinley. Under food is
included everything that could possibly en-
nvr into the food materials that any farmer,
OF any one else, would buy-beans, bread,
crackers. butter. cheese, coffee. eggs, nsh,
fruits. lard, meats, milk, molasses, rice.
salt, spices, starch. sugar. tallow and 9TH
ers. Under cloths and clothing is included
everything that goes into the wearing APP
parel of men and women, and also includes
carpets. We thus see that food is great
deal cheaper under Mckinley than under
per cent cheaper.
Now, let us see as TO what the farmer
has to sell, and We shall see that the farmer
is still the favored class under Republican
aoministrations-he gets his supplies cheap
er and sells his products at higher price.
Beans, during Cleveland's administration,
in July, 1896, were worth $1.15 a bushel; I'M
der Mckinley, July. 1889, s1.S5; butter, July,
1896, IA cents; July, 1899. IS: Cheese, July,
1896. cents; July, 1899. S; eggs, July, 1885,

thousand; 1899. $3.50 to $751; wheat 1896. 54
to 81 cents; 1899, 6s to 70.
In the above figures the same relative
dates are used all the time, July, 1896, and
July, 1899. The prices given are the whole
sale prices. These figures will show that
what articles the farmer has TO buy are
cheaper than in the administration pre-
viouS to this, and that what he has to sell
how brings him more.
The Democrats in 1892 made the cry on
TIN plate and sent peddlers over the country
selling tin cups at exorbitant prices, ana
now they make the fight on Manila Irvine,
and at the same time keep up the price by
keeping up the war in Philippines through
promises held out to the Filipiuos as to
what they will do If Bryan is elected. Con-
sistency is jewel which has never shone
on the Democratic breast If the American
people were to hold the Democrats to their
assertions and their platforms strictly
as they hold the Republicans the Demo-
cratic candidate would not get million
votes in the whole country at the coming
election. EDWARD z. NEAL.

COMPARISON WITH 1896.
Figures That Prove Bryan's Predic-
tiOns of Four Years Ago to Have
Been Unwarranted.

No feature of prosperity is full OF more
meat for interesting reflection than is that
which relates to the steady improvement
in credits during the last four years-na-
tional. state, municipal and individual all
included.
OF the Improvement in the credits of
separate localities throughout the United
States it can be said that not only do States
and municipalities borrow freely at rates
which were unknown i'm 1896. but the bonds
of cities counties, rural districts, and other
municipal corporations, which had prev
iously been placed in savings banks, now
command considerably higher premiums in
the market. Premiums on municipals have
advanced TO such an extent that the aver
age net return per annum has been cut
down more than one-half of per cent.
The banking firm of n. w. Harris & Co.,
of New York and Chicago. has prepared
a table of some typical differences existing
in the net returns on municipal bonds this
wear as compared with 1896:

AN ovERANxIous CANDIDATE.

The announcement that Mr.. Bryan will
make speeches in Illinois. Indiana, Ohio.
Wisconsin. Michigan. Minnesota, New
York, New Jersey. Maryland and West
Virginia, shows a radical change of pro-
gramme on his part from that Of his po-
litical managers. A few days after Mr..
Bryans nomination 1t was announced au-
thoritatively that he would not stump the
country as he did in 1896. On the Sth of July
a conference of Democratic party managers
took place at Lincoln, at which were pres
ent Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Stevenson, Chairman
Jones, National Committeeman Stone of
Missouri, Campbell of Michigan, Johnson
every phase of the political situation was
discussed and a general plan of campaign
agreed upon. An Associated Press dispatch
from Lincoln, of July 9. describing this
conference, said: committeeman Johnson,
of Kansas, stated. after the meeting. that
an understanding exists that Mr.. Bryan
will not tour the country he did during
the campaign of 1896" That understanding
was reached after conference which was
described as ''protracted." and in which
Mr.. Bryan himself participated. If it did
not have his approval it was at least the
decision of the committee. There has been
no general conference since and no indca-
ton of change of programme until the
present announcement, which says mir.
Bryan has decided so and so. The facts
haf FL, ioin
resented the views and action of the COM
mittee. while the change of programme is
that of Mr.. Bryan. In other words, the
committee could not keep him from stump
ing the country. No other candidate for
President has ever shown such extreme
anxiety to be elected. Other candidates
have received delegations at their homes
and made speeches that were read through
out the country, but Mr.. Bryan is the only
one to adopt a first and a second time the
undignified course of traversing the coun-
try like an ordinary officeseeker begging
the people for their votes. He did this in
1896, and now he proposes to do 1t again.
1t shows his incurable habit of speech
making and his unlimited confidence in his
own oratorical powers. 1t remains to be
seen which was right, the committee or
Mr.. Bryan. The Journal is of opinion that
his stumping tour will lose him votes by
awakening intelligent voters, and especial
ly the conservative business element Of the
country, to the Importance of defeating so
anxious candidate and so arrant dema-
gogue.
