Mr.. BRYAN TELLS
ALL ABOUT SILVER

The subjoined article, written cs-
Ipecially for the Reno Gazette by "the
Great Colnmoner,' w. J. Bryant is
reproduced here because the subject is
one of supreme importance to Ne
vada, and the author the foremost adj
vocate of free silver in the world.
The fight waged for twenty years
prior to 1896 for the remonitization Of
silver was forced upon the world by
falling prices. Three international
conferences were held during that
period to devise some way of escape
from the bankruptcy that threatened
the debtors of all lands, and, through
them, business in general
Even in 1896 the Republican party
pledged itself to international BIZ
metallism and one of the first official
acts of Presient Mckinley was the
appointment of commission to So
licit the cooperation of the leading
nations of Europe to open the mints
to the white metal.

Blamed Failure on Gold Talk.

Former President Stevenson
and Senator Wolcott of Colorado,
were members of this commission,
and the latter, speaking in the United
States senate, charged that the failure
of the commission was due to the fact
that Secretary Gage of the treasury
department., was making speeches in
favor of the gold standard, while the
commission was appealing to Europe
/ or aid III the establishment of the
1uoble standard
The general objection raised by the
.,inanciers to bi-metallism, whether in
dependent or international was that it
is difficult to. maintain an exact parity
between the two metals, but this argu-
ment was conclusively answered by i'll
ternational hi-metallists who contend
I'd that A Joint agreement between ma
tions would reduce fluctuations to a
traction so small as to create no dis
.urbance 10 business, and they pointed
out that continual rise in the value
Of the dollar was more injurious to the
world than any slight variation in the
~elative value OF the metal under in
ternational bi-metallism could posi-
bly, be.

Britain Threw Her Influence.

The theoretical objections to the
.ouble standard, however, had but
title influence compared with the
practical objection raised by Great
3ritian's opposition. Being the great
reditors nation OF the world. Great
Britain threw her influence on the
ide OF rising dollar, her financlers
being short sighted enough to imagine
t',at she could permanently prosper
~ policy that did injustice to other
nations and it was injustice to COM
pei debtors to pay in dollar that
constantly appreciated because of
legislation that gave to gold mo-
nopoly OF the privilege OF mintage.
Conditions are now entirely changed
An abundant currency has been Sc
cured from other sources, but, while
the debtor class is no longer suffering
from rising dollar and falling prices,
as it was prior to 1896, the chief argu-
.nent against silver coinage has dis
appeared and new arguments bring a
demand for bi-metallism from the
very classes that opposed it.
Now that the bullion in silver dol
lar is worth more on the market than
the bullion in a gold dollar Ga situa-
ton produced, not by legislation, but
in spite of it) we hear no more OF the
dumping ground" bugbear or OF the
melting pot test
Silver Dollar No Longer Cheap
The silver dollar is no longer a
cheap dollar" is it the gold dollar
that is cheap, if we may borrow the
phraseology employed by the finan-
ciers twenty-five years ago.
And. Just as the objections to silver
are being silenced by the unprecedent-
I'd demand for that metal. the world
awakens to need for basic money so
great that gold will not supply it, and
the situation in Europe is made still
more acute by the fact that we
have absorbed much more than our
per capita share Of the gold coin OF
the world.
During and since the war the vol
ume of paper money has been swollen
to fabulous amounts and no rcsump-
ton of specie payments can be
thought Of without very large in
crease in the quantity Of standard
money Gold is fair weather friend

piled to individuals, it is ''invinciblt

Lightning Started Car

There was a heavy electrical storm
on Monday night, and at the J. j.
Newell farm, five miles southwest of
town, the lightning came in along
the telephone wires and burned them
up, and did some minor damage.
The strongest freak of the light
ming was discovered the next morn
ing, however, when Jay went out to
the garage and found the engine in
his automobile running as nicely as
could be. Furthermore the electrical
starting system, which of late had
been giving considerable trouble, was
found in good condition and it has
been working fine ever since.
Lightning is of extremely high
voltage, and just why it should start
a car and tone up an ordinary electri-
cal generator makes a difficult scien-
tific problem.

Eight weeks from next Monday
the 36th annual State Fair will be

the city papers about this coming
fair, but it does not allow from that
that the work of preparation has not
gone vigorously forward. The man
ayers have been too busy to talk.
Secretary e. w. Randall moved down
from his home at Morris early in
March and took up his abode at the
Hamline grounds, and since then

ADVISORY BOARD FOR
S. A. HOME SERVICE
Agency Thru Which the Salvation
Army Will Work in, the Rural
Communities

H. J. Miller, representing the Sal
walton Army, was in Morris the first
of the week arranging for Stevens
County Advisory Board, thru which
the Salvation Army can work in
carrying out it's home service pro-
gram for 1920. It is the intention
of the Salvation Army to extend to
rural districts and communities the
work which for 40 years it has car
ried on in the great cities.
This program is being simultane-
ously carried on in other middle
Western States and will be extended
to all States West of the Mississippi
just as rapidly as. the limited field
personnel of the army will permit.
For two score years the Salvation
Army, with the indefatigable cour-
age for which it's workers are known
has been Iaboring to heal the Tester
ing social sores of humanity in the
great metropolitan areas of the coun-
try.
IA
of cases with which the army has
dealt has convinced it that many of
these social problems have their or
igin in rural districts. With this
it's attention to cause as we'll as eff
feet, hence it's Home Service Program.
In every county in Minnesota ad-
visOry boards composed of the most
representative citizens in their re
spective communities are being Or
ganized to cooperate with the Saliva
ton Army in Systematically reliev-
ing distress and endeavoring by study
and application to reduce the causes
that are so productive of social dis
orders in the cities.
In this work the Salvation Army
aims not to duplicate the activities
of any other social or religious
agency. It's purpose is the fullest
utilization Of the vast machinery for
social good which it's forty years of
work has constructed.
Among the departments and agen-
cies which can best be utilized by the
county advisory boards are: the en-
ergency department, missing friends
bureau, Juvenile, industrial and ag-
ricultural schools for delinquent, de-
pendent and orphaned children, boys
friend bureau, young women's board
ing homes, rescue and maternity
homes and industrial homes for men
The Stevens County Advisory
Board met at the Commercial Clut
rooms on Tuesday evening ,and Mr.
Miller explained the nature of the
work which the Army proposes to dC
as above outlined. The Board organ
lied by electing W. H. Cherry, presi
dent; D. H. Lawler, vice-president
Rev. H. H. Symons, secretary; F. r
Putnam, treasurer The other mem
bers of the Board are DR.. G. E. Caine
w. F. Cooley, J. G. Morrison, Joh1
Grove, H. H. Wells, and Miss Irene
