The h'ot tam-ale season opens with more yell 'than usual, and less meat, perhaps.

,'TMoney can be too good," said Mr. Bryan, but Mr. McKinley sai'd "Good money never made hard times."

The tomgue of the Dam-ocrattic painty is woirWhiiff In Oihio ithie brains will be at Inidlianaipol'iB 'tlhis week and the tails aire wangling in Maine and Georgia.

ZL1 'Hung Chang discharged his cook at 'New York, but wild continue his salary for life, which is his custom with ail discharged servants. This is a free ei'lver idea that Bryan probably 'wiill utilize by promising: iwages without work under free silver coinage.

President Cleveland has shown but scant courtesy to VLl (Hung- Chang, but the American people wi".! 'nave a warm fee&n# for the Chinese dignitary when ihey learn of the profound respect he showed 'to tihe memory of General Grant and o'f his graceful and affectionate courtesy to the iGenerafs widow and childTen.

Greeley, Bryan and Watterson, If he la nominated, 'will ibe remembered as the three •editors who could not *be elected president, and that will be the only thing for which Bryan will -be 'remembered the other "two 'will be remembered as great editors as well as candidates.

No speaker finds it necessary to try to prove that Gen. Harrtsan, Major McKlntey (and Tom Reed are as p&trio-.ic and1 truly American as 't'he younger Mr. Bryan. MtaK'inley and Harrison, the veteran soJdiiers, amd Reed, once in the mavy, do not have to vaunt their imtrloltlieim. The peop'le know that Aimeriicta'® 'honor -anti, .independence is eajfe in their hands.

'Mir. Bryan li'k.is to ta?k of "1the idile holders oif idle imon-ey." Tihe i'dle hoii'd'ecis ccuCd not ttve if their money «vtas Me.

W a Mearican had aid arwa-y $100 ajt thait period his money would be worth aJbooiit $8.00 laso ntoiw.

Bryan's calibre as an orator "was revealed when it was 'found that 3ie dressed up his speeches with scraps and patches borrowed from others, and its narrow gauge can be measured precisely iwihen it is taio'wn that in 'his later speeches -he borrowed from Mrs. Lease her words a-nd iher termag'antic spirit. On 'Friday he spoke of 'legislature as "giving money undeserved! into the hands of those who by .machination corner the money .maTket and spend the money by Ibuying foreign titles for t'heir daughters?"

This Js pitiable from a man who pretends to be large enough to .be president and stupid' from one who is trying to put the money o'f the country into the hands of silver brokers and .silver speculators.

Mexico wTt'h iitis exclusive use of silver has not been able to hold uip the price of silver or of litis dollar. Its' currency .has been an objectt lesson 'to teach t'bat the value olf the coin declines wi'th that of tihe metial ifrom w:hilch tt il3 m'ade, umless ®t fs kept up by the guarantee of the gio^erniment. The plea tWalt Mexico is ciomipa.ra't'rveily la small and poor c'ounltiry dkjets not prove the argrime nit that a larger and richer coumllry can s'uistain the price of silver wltli free coinage. 'Mexico and' Als:ia muclt be coun.ted 'together, as Mexico vjrit'uially does 't(he cioinimg for Ch'ina and o'ther Asiatic ccunttries and isiupplies th.€m wiiith Silver dicillians. It was to get from Mexico a part of t'hiis 'trade in dollars that1 cur trade dollars were coined,' buli tihey did moit iS-uipipian,t the old Mexican dollar, which 'the Chinese and Japanese preferred.

A change from^ gold! to a silver basis would disturb values, "When prices fluctuate violently speculation is ac.tive, as on the Chicago board of trade, where, if prices remain .steady, trade is dull, ibut -if they fluctuate trade iis lively. When speculation offers opportunities 'for profit, either on the ibear or bull side, men who have money speculate, but men who have no money cannot speculate. It will be so when the speculation Is the result of Mexicanizing our money. The men iwit.h -money will lose the money that is lost, but fehey will also make iw.hat is made. The laboring man cannot and does not speculate and he 'will have to rely as usual upon hi® regular wages and take what is paid to him. Mr. Bryan is trying very hard to give the speculator a chance, but he is not doing a thing for the laborer.

iFram the Chronicle we learn ithut the N'altlomal Deniocratiic convention wlhiilcih is it© meet In Indianaipoiiis on Weldinetsldlay will be the most respectable 'political gathering of the year. "It will be immeasurably superior in its personnel ttio the Chicago and St. Louis conventtionis," which is real n.ce. The two Ploipurlsit coinven/tiionis, at Sit. T.Ouis and Ohtoaigo were curious affairs. In the ctlaiim a-dvaraced for tihe National Demooriatic clonv.entlion is much to siup'port the asmiimiptiion 'miade. The conv?nit on wiill oc-ntain the 'best ipen in the old Deimraicsnaitiic party, the mcji most cVst'inig'ulshf.d for ability and high fir.-'rac-ter. Bryan is cut to the soul by the opposition 'that insures his defeat. He lis reaorittng to atbuise and slurs upon men t'hat were De'mocrats before he was •born and after he voted for Weaver anid ©aid: "I aim not a Democrat."

While Mr. Bryan was "talking" at HorneMsvilfe, N. Y., an aud.tor cried out, "Silver is not accepted for du:l«'S," •but (Bryan talked on. He is not in 'the business of giving out statistics, facts or information or he would have stopped kng enough to tell the man that silver is accepted for duties to any amount.

Any sliver dollar coined in the United States since 1893 is a legal tender to an unlimited amount.for. duties or any other obligation. Trade dollars are not included in the statement, as they were of limited tender and are not now in existence. Silver certificates are also receivable for duties, though not a leal tender for other obligations. This receipt ot silver for duties iby the government assists in preserving the parity of silver and gold. Of course MLr. Bryan would dodge or evade any remark that would make clear the present system of currency. H"is purpose is to befog or obscure.

•Marion (Harland's daughter strongly indorses Dr. Price's Baking Powder.

The wiiiges of lattxw in this counUry are eslKimatfU at $2,000,000,000 a year. The Gazsote and oitheT tsiLver papers advance the theory that under free silver coenage the prtoe of everything tbiait is now -$1, WiU.be $2 in si'lver, if silver preserves tts ctanccmncC-al ratio cf 32 to 1 of go 3d.

FINE SHOW FOR THE MEXICANS. 'Mr. 'Bryan is promising that -silver shall rise to $1.29 an ouhce in gold all over the world if he is elected. In Mexico, at the Neuva iLeon mines, silver and leal ore $1.2!l a ton in S'ilver The total cost of mining, transportation and smelting is (J5.7!) a ton, silver, or $2.89 in United States money. There is from $16 to $20 worth of silver and lead in a ton of this ore, 'whi'ch shoivs a net proifit of $12 to $17 a ton. The l^&dj alone pays a proifit, .wihich would leave the silver free ofcost, and the silver alone will" pay a profit, though not so much, which would make the lea3 free of cost. It is the silver ifrom this ore at $1.29 a ton in silver which Mr. Bryan proposes

in gold. The iMexicaja mine owners are employing the most improved labor saving methods and hire laborers at 50 cents a day, and are able to mine as effectively as the Americans. While the Mexkans work for SO cents in the free silver coun try, the "Montana miners get from $2.50 to 53.50 a day. The .Mexican mines are almost inexhaustible, and the owners will always have a margin on labor that will enalb'le them to undersell the American and to accept a lower price for silver.

MORE CAPITAL THAN CASH. The Society of PolitSoaJ Economy in Fiarfs discussed the silver agiiitat'ion in. America.
