Just one (free-stover (paper 3ius aictoowfleldlgied that t'he forged extract tflrotm the L-omd-on Financial Times was iel faike. Well, one is a ©ooid many tinder the clrcum stances.

The 'Patio of 16 to 1 is not very old. It wae •discovered in 1834, during the llife time of many living men, but to young Mr. Bryan .It seems as old as the pyrantels.

Colonel Fitzgerald, who was -nominated 'by 'the W-e&t Virginia Pops for (governor, tried 'not long -ago to run a Woomer girl restaurant in New York City. The bloomer style and the restaurant an about ais well a a the Colonel and Bryan 'Will.

The production of silver 1® steadily increasing and miners are paid from $2.50 'to $3.50 a day. It pays to produce si'lver at present prices, but the mine owners are insatiable and want the ipfeople to -pay $1.87 for a dollar's worth of silver.

If a mine owner -would mot take tils silver to the mint to foe .coined when dollars were 'worth 1.03 why should he foe allowed to take it there when 51 cents' worth will make a dollar? If he •would not give the people 3 cents they should tnot give 'him. 49.

"We are .Simply asking that the same mint privileges be a-cco-rd e-d' to silver are now accorded to gold," says Mr. Bryan. We defy (Mr. Bryan to (point to any free coinage act that au•tlhorlaed the coinage of silver and gold at a ratio differing from the commercial ratio at the time the act was passed.

If a (farmer counts on raising -wheat at 60 cents a bushel in silver and selling it Abroad for $1 to gold, he mu«st expect to pay silver rates to 'labor. He cannot pay gold rates and raise wheat at eilwr rates. The employers- who expect to make -money on a sKlver basis figure on (paying stiver wages. The dollar and labor witt decline together. They always lha-ve and always will.

The Wool and Cot-ton Reporter says •here a constant tendency to concentrate the Woolen mills .near Bos'ton,

York and Philadelphia. It is different with cotton mills, which are moving towards

:tihe

Southern fields,

whene 'tfoie cotton growls. The woole-n mills are (moving itowardls the ports ait wWch iforeiign 'Wool is en'tereds and the 'litit-le rnttls which .used to rely upon Western -VTCOI will have to shut up •w^ille we hav-e (free wool.

The Gasette seems to recognize decency tin one column by the phrase, "They mis^t at least*have the decency to cease attacking .him." This refers to EWtr. Cleveland, whom the Gazette's party treated so decently at Chicago, and whom Mr. Tillman, one of the Gazette's standard bt-arers, has treated so decently. A« we say the Gaxette recognises the existence of decency in one column, but in the next 'column to appears a covert fling at General Grant.

We can buy In 1S36 as many goods with -ten silver dollars as with ten gold dollars. If Bryan has hi® way in 1JOT we canont buy as muoh with the ten silver dollars as with ten gold dollars, whach shows the difference between altered "demonetisation" and real repudiation.

If, as alleged, the gold conspirators tried to drive stiver out of use they m«*de a great failure of it. Since 1S73, §7 per cent more sttmiu beer. a«4ed

ito the wortd's circulation thaa was added during the sev-eaty-thpee years fore, but thea .mount of gold added So per cent less.

Some instruments and gauges of greit accuracy are not exposed to every mind that (blows or to changes of tempera-: •tu-re. Bryan proposes to throw the Supreme (Court into the 'hurly-burly of ipoUttoal and partisan contest, to be changed at every ejection. Under the ©ryan plan, the Supreme Court would have been made in I860 to reflect the Southern sympathies of the Buchanan administration. In Andrew Johineon'fcadi'n is ration it would 'have been packed for Slaughter and coniflseation In the South. After.one election it would be made to rule for the income tax. After another it would revetse its former action. The theory of -impartial government which would protect the office holders, or the people's employes from political persecution and jobbery also require® the .'Supreme 'Court to be high above the manipulation of political tricksters.

It is very pretty o.f (Mr. Bryan to go around and exhibit ihimself to those who haven't thle (price of a circus ticket. There 'te no valid •abJeaUon to a.candidate traveling over''the cotantry aoldgreater imen 'lh£n. Bryan ^v6'' made such trips, buit Bryan .laid hjmeelf open to cr it it-ism foy bis petty and juvenile comparison between, 'his imethO'd! of Making a ehow oif himseiLf and -Mir. IVDcKintey's B'tayimg at home.

Mr. MicK-'mley's plan Was the advantage of showing liirft 'his real .friends and how many ho has. Ut a:eo shows that the American is istill a 'great traveler. These 'workingmen. froim Weet Virginia, Ohio aad Pennsylvania are not miHlonaires, but they are se-l'f-respectlng and independent laboring men. In -eivery excureion party of 1,000 that goes 'bo Canton there are more dead sure -votee than in a crowd of 5,000 that flocks to see Bryan and to 'be reported- as 25,000 people.

Accordlnig 'to t-h-e iSt. Lou-is R^pivbllc, a certain farmer, who is a zealous Sundiay school worker, is also a zealous 16 to 1 man. He (has figured (from 'the (bible that the exact proportion of gold and silver need in Solomon'® 'temiple was 16 -to 1 and he is a mor'e determined eilverilte 'than ever. This confirms the saying that most anything can be proved front the foible when one wants to prove it. The meet -eminent authorities differ as to the value of the ancient talon'tis, but (this farmer imay 'by t'hie eye of fait-h Bee the value or weight of -the Hebrew talent of 3,000 years ago. We can figure out i'he ratio of gold to silver at abouit 1 to 2 and of gold to iron at 1 to 12, from thle -amounts mentioned. We are inclined to believe that Solonvon was the original demonetizer of silver, as in hie dajis it was so cheap and plentiful as to be scarcely woith ta.kin\g account of. All-hOugh the farmer's argument ite not very good, it will suit Bryan.

There "Is a ^neat difference botween "•more money" and "more capital," and between cheap money and cheaper capital. W-hen a man who needs money to put in an 'enterprise has found a capitalist with money to lend at a low rate of latere?* 'he has found the real "cheap money," by finding capital.

Interest -'has steadily declined since 1873 until .th-e -present day, and the amount® of money to be loaned (has increased. To -the ©peculator, the manuifanturer, Ube buildeT, or any one who needs money to conduct a new •enterprise or extend an old one, money becomes miore ptentlfiul and cheape.r, not by ootniwSr of oKlta-l and th* -tesue of nft«e, 9u-t by the accurrvulatloa and. dispersal of capi-tal.

Tli.ey are the plartn reply to Mr. Bryan's inoulMng taunt to workingmen. Bryan cla4me to b-etMeve tthat the work-ing-men who are organizing agatost h'im are coerced, Intimidated and. bought. He says that worklngmen are willing to hide thedr -principles for a .yeay, to 'breathe them only in secret when they go into a booth and cast a secret ballot. Although, some men seem to listen with approval and applause to such -taunts from. Bryan, It ite probable and even certain that if an outsider should go Into any meetings of workingmen and 'assert to them- that they were cowards who dared not to go on the .streets and' declare -their poll-tics- and never had dared to, and -that they wou'ld pretend to foe one thing or another to hold their jobs, such a speaker woud be shut up by a storm, of indignant protests. The plain day laborer yv ho •works with shovel and' broom has as strong a sense of his independence_and Is as proud of Ms-perfect liberty to vote •as he pleases, as the richest man in the community. He is even more proud and more certain to exercise his right to vote. Bryan knows this very well, and If -he was making a Fourth of July or Emancipation Day oration would have much to say about the proud heritage of the common citizen won for 'hlrn 'by the men of 1776 and 1861.- But he je a demagogue who 'has said ottf ttilrvg and then the opposite to gain bower or applause. oi.

A SPLENDID TICKET—DON'T VOTE FOR IT, The Indian®,poll® nominations are admirable, aa.y« the New Yo«k Sun (Dem-.). They present to 'the voters as candidates for president and vtice 'president two .Democrats whose .Democracy ks un-qu-es'tionab1-e, and whose (representative q-uailities, (high personal character, and 'disinterested d*votkm to a patriotic oause commend tftiem. to every honest citizen. The platform- on which -General Palmer and (Qeme«nail .Buckner stand ia dear, (Strong, and satisfactory tn its main feature and in this unparalleled (contest (for the defence of a single principle of supreme concern, minor points of difference are not vital. With what z^al, energy and hopefulness the Democracy of the Union could rally to the support of Palmer and Buokner, arid honest .money, under circumstances other than those attending the present crlsds.

With the incubus of Clevelandiem thrown 'from the panting breast which it has s-o long bestrode, with the fatal demands of the income -tax fanatics decisively repelled by the wisdom of the gentlemen assembled at Indianapolis, with fresh -air in the lungs of the venerable -party of Jefferson, Jackson and Tilden, and new blood in its veins, .it oould start out on the uphill of retrievement with courage and confidence. Would that there were some subtle chemistry apt for the erasure of the Chioago dot! Would -that the sole consideration were a direct choice between the honest money Republicanism of St. (Louis and the honest money Democracy of Indianapolis!

There is no such -chemistry, and there is another consideration of importance to every Democrat who is first of all a patriot. Magniifioenf as a protest, valuable as a -framework for a future home for regenrated Democracy, the Indianapolis organization does not change the present duty of the Individual Democrat who abhors repudiation and desires to safeguard the national honor against the assault of the revolutionists. Singular as the proposition is, it remains a fact that the very cause which the Indianapolis ticket most essentially •represent® can be served -best, not by its election, for that Is impracticable, but by Its defeat, provided that defeat is not accomplished through the election of the repudiation candidates.

A QUESTION OF VERACITY. The Rev.
