The FREE coinage Of silver, the monetary
standard, bimetalsm. the quantitatlye
theory Of money, or whatever term may
be used to characterize the leading issue
OF the contest waged in the United States
in 1896 will be fought over again in lsoo
il w. J. Bryan is made the candidate OF
the democrat party. Mr.. Bryan says ne
has not changed his views on that ques-
ton. He believes yet, his very last state
ment declares, that the free coinage OF
silver would be a good thing for this
country. He thought it was good thing
for Mexico, and he so declared in that
country. And Of the thousands who we're
in the city where his declaration was made
not one out OF hundred had enough to
eat for the coming day They had bimet-
alism there then, but they have since cast
it off. There is no more truth in the free
silver theory now, nor will there be two
years from now, than when it was fought
for so desperately by Mr.. Bryan and his
followers.
