THE .MINE OWNERS.WHY THEY ARE- - CLAMORING FOR

1' FREE SILVER; i

Deliberately Working tor National andIndividual Rspallation nnd Bobbery byMeans of a Debased aud DepreciatedDollar Their Cry a False One.How do the silver miners expect to

Profit by the free and unlimited coinage of silver? Through a rise in thevalue of their product to $1.29 perounce? Oh no, they are perfectly wellaware that no such thing can happen.They don't want it to happen. If It didit would absolutely defeat the objectthey have in view, for it would makethe real, or bullion, value of our silverdollar 100 cents instead of 50 to 53cents, and it would retain in circula-tion our gold coins concurrently withour silver and paper money on a par-ity of actual value instead of an artifi-cial parity consisting of part value andpart credit, as at present Regardlessof national and Individual honor, theyare deliberately working for nationaland Individual repudiation and robberyby means of a debased and depreciateddollar, for in such a dollar alone dothey see an enormous profit for them-selves.

Their cry for an increased circulationis a false cry. No one knows betterthan these men that we now have avolume of money amply sufficient forthe needs of legitimate business, andlarger than that of any leading commer-cial nation on earth, excepting onlythat of France. What they do want isto cut the purchasing power of two-thir- ds

of our money in two, and theexile of the other third by bringing sil-ver down to its bullion value, whichwould necessitate double the number ofdollars to do the same amount of work.

Nobody knows better than they thatneither our congress,, the chamber ofdeputies of France, the reichstag ofGermany, nor the. parliament of Eng-land can, by a simple act cf legislation,create out of absolutely nothing exceptthe words in which the statute is ex-pressed a value equivalent to morethan $0,000,000,000. Yet this is precise-ly the miracle congress would have toperform if it attempted, quoting Mr.Bryan, "to raise the value of everyounce tf silver, here and everywhere,to $1.29." Why do they know this to beimpossible?

Because this same statement wasmade in congress prior to the passageof the Sherman act of 1890. But whatare the facts? Speculation forced theprice of silver up from 93 cents to $L19,but before the year was out it had fall-en back so far that the average for theyear was only 1.04.

Silver production increased in theUnited States alone from 50.COO.000ounces in 1889 to 54,500,000 ounces in 1890

an increase of 4.500,000 ounces. InIS891 the world's production of silverncreased 11,075,847 ounces over that of890, and the price fell to an average of

IS cents for the year. In 1892 thevorld's production increased 15.980.843ounces over that'of 1891, and the aver-age price for the year fell to 87 cents.In 1893 the production again advancedjy 12,940,285 ounces, while the averagejrice was only 7S cents, the treasuryourchasing its last quota at 63 cents.It must not be forgotten .that during

,this period (1890-9- 3) India took 129,-J20.8- 75ounces of silver for coinage

xlone, thus aiding enormously in sus-:aini- ngthe market, and in spite of this

unprecedented demand for coinage, atotal of 10,736 tons of silver in less thanJour years,- - the price, after touchingJL19, dropped like lead to 63 cents.

After such an experience as this it isjvident that the silverminers cannotan-ticipat- e

any considerable rise in thevalue of their product, for they knowrhat the offerings, of silver to the treas-ury were largely in excess of the quan-tity the secretary was authorized topurchase eyery month during whichthe Sherman act was in operation. Al-though Mr. Bryan does not seem tohave heard about it, the mints of In-dia have been qlosed to silver eversince 1893, and that vast market is nowbarred and barricaded against themine owners. It is quite evident, then,that a rise in the price of theirproducts is not the object they 'have inview. Then what is it? There is awoodchuck in the hole. Let us see ifwe can smoke him out.

In the Anaconda copper mine atButte,Mont., and in other localities, they findlarge quantities of silver mingled withthe copper ore. As the copper alonepays handsomely, to mine, every ounceof silver they get costs practicallynothing, and is so much clear gain. AtLittle Cottonwood, in Utah, where thecelebrated Emma mine is located; atLeadville, Col.; at Eureka, Nev., andin many other localities, lead ore ismined mingled with silver. It payshandsomely to mine the lead, andagain the silver is practically a bi-- .Jproduct and all clear gain. In everymine in which gold is found in a quartsformation the gold is mingled with thesilver, which must be extracted beforethe gold is commercially available. Inthis case, again, silver is the byprod-uct of another industry. The censusof 1890 shows that the total number ofmen engaged in the silver mining busi-ness was less than 33,000, and that morethan 1C.C00 of these obtained the silverfrom the ores of other metals as the

uct or some other mining indus- -try. xnat census report also showsthat the total commercial value of thesilver product ($57,225,000) was lessthan one-ha- lf of the value of the prod-uct of the patriotic, hard-worki- ngAemerican hen. You will therefore seethat our miners produce vast quanti-ties of silver every year which wouldpay them well if sold at 10 cents anounce.

But this Is not all. At other mines,such as the Granite Mountain MoIHeGibson, Last Chance, Big Bonanza, theComstock lode, which has made Sena-tor John P. Jones the real leader of thesilver party, a millionaire, twenty-fiv- etimes over,' and many more of thegreatest producers, "the cost of miningsilver is so low their proprietors hugjealously the secrets of their balancesheets. But it is well known that fromJ.890 to L$92 millions of ounces of sil-ver were offered to the government,which cost the miners riot to exceed10 to 25 cents per ounce, delivered atthe treasury in Washington. Evenwhen silver was down to the neigh-borhood of 63 cents there was a wildscramble to sell and the output con-tinued to increase.

It is obvious then that it is the mar- -

fcet ror and not the price of their prod-uct that worries Senator Jones with his$25,000,000, Senator Stewart with his$40,000,000, David Moffat with his 540,-000,0- 00,

arid the other members of thesilver trust whose wealth Is aggregatedat $547,000,000. It Is to obtain a marketthat these patriots (?) have for twentyyears maintained the most expensivelobby ever sent to Washington by anyspecial interest; which lobby, headedby General A. J. Warner, has kept upa continual knocking on the doors ofcongress, alternately threatening anddemanding, or begging and entreatingfor the resumption of free and unlim-ited coinage.

How do they propose to make a mar-ket for their product? -

First, by driving out of circulation$600,000,000 of gold 'colnl That wouldnecessitate the issue of 1,200,000,000half-pric- e silver dollars to fill up thegap in-- the circulation and restore anequivalent in purchasing power. Bythis means they would market 907,-000,0- 00

ounces of their product.Next, they want to bring our $625,-626,0- 00

of silver, or paper representingthe tons of silver bullion now lying inthe treasury vaults, down to Its bull-ion value and thus reduce its purchas-ing power one-hal- f. This would haveprecisely the same effect on the pur-chasing power of our $617,583,000 of oth-er paper money redeemable In coin andwhich would have to be redeemed insilver dollars , at their bullion value.One-ha- lf of this circulation would thusbe practically wiped out and annihi-lated. The people, In whose pockets,tills or banks that $1,243,209,000 now is,would find themselves robbed of $621,-604,5- 00

of the money for which theyhad toiled and sweated, by an act ofcongress in a single night For whosebenefit? For the benefit of the needypatriots, who, with only $547,000,000among them are making a desperatestruggle to keep the wolf from thedoor.

It is thus that Mr. Bryan lowers thecommon people.

This additional loss of purchasingpower would have to be replaced by'anissuse of 1,243,209,000 half-pri- ce sliverdollars, either in coin or paper andwould enable the miners to market anadditional 1,065,927,000 ounces of theiroutput. The total loss to our circula-tion, including the loss of our gold coin,would amount to over $16 per capita,and In the ruin which would follow soawful and so sudden a contraction ofour currency the bonanza millionairesalone would reek with riches, for Inrestoring to their dearly beloved com-mon people the equivalent in free coin-age silver of the money of which theyhad been robbed, they would market1,972,927,000 ounces of. silver. Estimat-ing their property only 50 per cent., andas I have shown ld bemuch more,a free coinage law would put Into thecoffers of the silver kings a profit of$986,464,000, a profit unparalleled in thehistory of human greed and avarice.

A Few of the Forgeries.Yankton Gazette: Here are a few of

the many forgeries used in the campaign by the Democrats. Look out forthem and do not be deceived:

The speech of James G. Blaine on theBland-Alliso- n bill.

The remarks of U. S. Grant in relation to the signing of the coinage act of1873.

The speech of James A. Garfield onthe Bland-Alliso- n bill.

The letter of Abraham Lincolnprophesying demonetization and terrible troubles to follow.

The report of Secretary Fessenden inrelation to the seven-thirtie- s.

The computations of John A. Loganof the bonds and money.

The alleged editorial of the LondonFinancial News in relation to the effectof free coinage upon the United Statesand England.

The story of Ernest Seyd.

Jlrynn as a Financier. .

It was the editor of a New Mexico paper that Dr. Winnett' met at El Paso.Tex., who had kept tab on Bryan andin consequence had a story to tell.Mr. Bryan was at EI Paso last winter.He went across the river into Mexicoand there dickered for some native qpals,He talked quite a while and succeededin jewing the dealer down so that heconsented to take $4 for the lot thatMr. Bryan wanted. Tnis was satisfactory and Mr. Bryan pulled out foursilver dollars and paid for the stones.But this deep student of internationalfinance and authority on the conditionof Mexico paid his bill in that countrywith good American dollars, worth twoto one of Mexican coin. That opaldealer is sighing for Mr. Bryan to comethat way again. It isn't often that hefinds so easy a mark. Lincoln (Neb.)Call.

Which ?Says a. correspondent of the Chicago

Inter-Ocea- n:

A few days ago I heard a discussion between a Bryan and a McKinleyfarmer. The latter remarked: 'Supposeyou and I go to Colorado. You go toproducing wheat while I go to miningsilver. The first year you grow $1,000worth of wheat and ! mine $1,000worth of silver. Under free silver Icould have my $1,000 worth of silverbullion coined into $2,000 silver dollars,t the present price of silver. Thus I

could buy your $1,000 worth of wheatand have $1,000 in silver coin left. Icannot vote with a party that adheresto such a policy it is so manifestly unjust.' "

Readers can form their own opinionsas to which fcf the two had the betterof the argument.

HISTORICAL POBCH.

WHERE WILLIAM M'KINLEY TALKS TO; HIS VISITORS.

It Has Become an Inspiration to PatrioticEndeavor in the Service of Good Gov-ernment Compared with the Bear Plat-form of a Hallway-Train- .

Many incidents and features connect-ed with the pending presidential cam-paign are altogether unusual. The is-sue which has obtained overshadingImportance is comparatively a newquestion to a very large majority of thepeople of many, if not all, of the largerstates, an entirely new one to the east-ern section of the country. It wasdominant In some of the western statessome few years ago and upon it orkindred Issues the Republicans lostcontrol of the state governments ofKansas, Illinois, Oregon, Colorado andsome of the southern states, heretoforereliably Democratic, were lost to thatparty. But at the elections of twoyears and one year ugo, most of theformer were redeemed.

The nominee of the Chicago conven-tion, William J. Bryan, is, or was atthe time of his nomination, more of anunknown quantity, politically speakingor otherwise, than any candidate forthat exalted position since the forma-tion of the government, with the pos-sible exception' of Franklin Pierce, andsuch reputation as the New Hamp-shire candidate enjoyed was distinctlyto his credit, as. a safe and conserva-tive man. Bryan, on the contrary,owes his selection as the leader of a greatparty largely, if not entirely, to aspeech before a political convention,which was "full of sound and fury,signifying nothing" save cheap dema-gogy.

An attempted comparison betweenBryan and Abraham Lincoln is to thelast degree ridiculous, yet the journeyto New York on the part of Bryan wasundoubtedly due to his belief that hewas in some way and somehow a sort 'of second Lincoln. 1

If the result of that journey did notdisabuse his mind of that absurd idea

and it is not at all likely it did it isbecause of his overweening vanity.

In no one aspect, however, is thepresent campaign more unique than Inthe constant visits of individuals, dele-gations, associations and organizationsof all kinds to the modest home ofMajor "William McKinley in Canton, O.The custom .of visiting a presidentialcandidate at his home obtained some-what during the campaign of eightyears ago, when frequent visits weremade to the home of President Har-rison, but to nothing like the extent Ithas obtained In this campaign. Hardlya day of the week, save Sunday, whenone or more delegations have not ar-rived in Canton, and, entering thesmall yard in front of the home ofMajor McKinley, have greeted him withcongratulations, and, in return, havereceived a cordial, unaffected wel-come, listened to words of politicalwisdom, been given personal greetingby the gentle, unassuming, . butstrong and forceful man and speaker,and marched homeward with the firmconviction of his pre-emine- nt fitnessfor the faithful discharge of the du-ties of that great office for which hehas been selected by a large body ofhis countrymen.

A leading New England newspapersaid not long ago the porch in frontof the modest home of William Mc-Kinley was likely to prove the mosteffective "stump" In the history ofAmerican politics. Those of the citi-zens of Vermont who were permittedto participate in one of these occasionswere forcibly impressed with the truthof this statement. The simplicity oftheir reception, the absence of anyburdensome formality, the cordialityof their welcome, the simple dignity ofmanner and speech, the personal intercourse with the man, the sweetness ofthe home atmosphere, everything com-bined to impress upon the minds of thevisitors the real greatness of --the man.

The porch at Canton is likely to be-come historic. Contrast its simplicitywith the theatrical parades, the dra-matic journeyings, the rear platformperfomances of Candidate Bryan, andyou have a fair conception of the char-acters and sense of responsibility feltby the two men In the present criticalcondition of public affairs.

Then contrast the utterances fromthe Canton porch with those of the"Boy Orator" on his travels, and thecomparison is still more to the disad-vantage of the latter. From his porchat Canton Major McKinley appeals toall that Is best in patriotism, ail thatis truest in American citizenship. Heappeals to the higher instincts of hu-man nature, addresses the reason, in-spires the confidence, arrests thejudgments of his fellow countrymen.The most Impure or sacrilegious of im-aginations cannot conclive of WilliamMcKinley's indulgence In ribald jestor blasphemous metaphor in dealingwith questions demanding the cool, de-liberative judgment of American citii-zen- s.

The porch at Canton has become anInspiration to patriotic endeavor in theservice of good government, the wordsthat have been spoken from It havebeen and are an incentive toward thefulfillment of the highest obligations d'American citizenship, they are thf jtrumpet call to. duty for the welfare ofthat great republic.

The rear platform and the massnieet-in- gutterances of Candidate Bryan

have been appeals to the baser pas-sions and prejudices of men, an at-tempt to array class against class,Without dignity, without any evidenceoof a just appreciation of what consti- - .tutes the higher obligations amongmen, the demands of the demagogueaspiring to leadership of the apologitfor the madness of the mob, not ofthe .conservator of the law.

Major McKinley Addresses llis EarlyCallers from Indiana. '

A delegation from Marion and Grantcounty, Ind., called upon the candidateFriday before breakfast. Major Mc-Kinley addressed them as follows:. "My fellow citizens of the City ofMarion and of Grant County: I con-gratulate you upon being first today.(Laughter.) No other delegation hasyet preceded you. (Renewed laughter.)I give you, each and everyone of youwarm and cordial welcome to myhome. I welcome the Republicans andthe eitizens of the Hoosler state thestate of that great old war governor,Oliver P. Morton (Applause) andthat splendid president and patriot,Benjamin Harrison. (Great applause.)

"You are here this morning, not tohonor me personally, but to henor thecause which you love and which youmean to support: and you mean tosupport that cause because you be-lieve It will Insure your own best wel-fare and the best well-bei- ng of thecountry at large. (Applause and 'criesof "That's right.") You believe In thatcause because you have tried it, andhaving tried it, you know you' havebeen more prosperous in your occupa-tions under the policy which it repre-sents than you have ever been underany other policy. (Loud cries of"That's right.")

"If anything was. needed to confirmyou In your devotion to that policy itcould be found in your experience ofthe last four years. Under no otherpolicy, under no other principles, haveyou enjoyed that degree of individualor national prosperity which for morethan thirty years you enjoyed underRepublican policy and Republican ad-ministrations (Applause) and you arehere this morning to testify anew yourdevotion to Republican principles andyour .deep and abiding interest thatthey may be successful throughout thecountry next November. (Cries of"Thats right.")

"You are interested in Indiana justas we are interested here in Ohio, bothInagrlculture and In maunfacturing.You know something in that great gasbelt of what manufacturing means toany community. You know that wherethere is successful manufacturing,

"You have in your city of Marion,as I recall, an industry which man-ufactures glass, that used to be inthe city of Canton. Am I right aboutthat? (Cries of "Yes.") It is agood Industry. Well, now, that fair-ly illustrates my idea. That used to be,as I said, a Canton Industry--

. Wewould very much have preferred tohave had It remain here, but it wastaken away. However, it did not getout of our own country. (Great ap-plause.) It went into a neighboringstate, and therefore benefits the Amerlean family American u orkmen sailr!n the work. We share in your good

"We want In this country goodtimes, good wages, steady employment,a good home market, and then Ave wantto continue the good, sound, round,honest dollars with which to do ourbusiness and pay our labor. (Tremend-ous cheering.)

"My fellow-citizen- s, I thank you forthis morning call and bid you heartywelcome. It will now give me pleas-ure to meet and greet each one of yqupersonally." (Applause and cries of:"Hurrah for McKinley.")

General Joo Shelby I'or McKinley.I will abandon frieuds, party and

kindred rather than yield eveu impliedconsent :to such a base assortment of po-litical heresies. If the party swallowsthe Chicago prescriptiou, its death iscertain. The Chicago platform is Popu-ulisu- i,

sugar coated. Its candidate is p.risiug demagognc, a daugerous rhetori-cian who for" a momentary applausewould light a torch aud apply it to thovery citadel of American liberty. Wewho believe iu sustaining law, orderand sound currency should vote Cor Mc-Kinley. Those who favor free aud unl-imited coinage of silver disorder, mis-rule and ultimate repudiation shcnldsupport Bryan aud take their rhoico be-tween Sewall and Watson.

The Origin of Dress.Mrs. Br. Evaus, wife of tho president

of Hedding college, Ills., who has madetho subject of dress a careful study for20 years, declares that women first in-vented trousers aud, that men subse-quently adopted them.

This means that the women, havingfirst adopted a costume which seemedbest adapted to them, the men, enviousof their better choice, appropriated itand then drovo them out. Thi., at least,is what Mrs. Evans alleges that she hasfouud after loug investigation of thorecords.

The fact that nmong tho Chinese audother nations of great antiquity tho women still wear trousers and tho menskirts gives strength to Mrs. Evans' as?sertions.

If these ho true, tho reproach of v:wmen for imitating male attire falls tothe ground. It is tho men who, haviugevicted women from her originaliychoidi attire, aro the real copyists. "
