Perhars some one replies, that under the gold law he' can't seriously hurt business. Is this so? True. It Is claimed the senate, even If Bryan is elected, will still contain a majority of sound money men, and a free silver coinage bill could not be passed Immediately. When McKlnley was Inaugurated there was a free sil ver majority In the senate, and he. too, was unable to pass the gold bill Immediately; but when the terms of those free silver senators expired in 1S99. Republican legislatures (returned to power with McKlnley In 1S96) replac ed enough outgoing Democratic sena tors with sound money Republicans to make a majority, and pass the bill In 1900. In like manner, If Bryan is elected and the Democratic party returned to power in a majority of the states, why will not Democratic legislatures send Democratic senators to the United States senate to replace outgoing Re publicans when their terms expire In 190J. and thus give the Democrats a majority there Just as the Repub lican legislatures did? And then what Is to prevent them from repealing the gold act and passing a free silver coin age bill Just as McKlnley and the Republicans passed the gold bill? And don't they stand pledged to do this? Their Kansas City platform demands The free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the present legal ra tio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation." William J. Bryan on September 4th last, at Zanesville, OMo, announced: "The party tands where It did In 1896 on the money question." And at Paterson, N. J., on Septem ber 28th. 1S96: "I eay to you now my election means that this nation shall open its mints to the free coinage of both metals at the earliest possible moment." And at Knoxvllle. Tenn., on Septem ber 6th. 1S36: "If there Is any one who believes the gold standard is a good thing, or that it must be maintained, I warn him not to cast his vote for me, because I promise him It will not be maintained In Oils country longer than I am able to get rid of It."

', And Is It not equally clear, that If we elect their to poaw on the tih of this monih, one great result will be that we must face the passage of a free coinage bill about three yean hence, :n 1904? RESULTS OF FACING A FREE SIL VER COINAC.E PILL. What will the effect bo of such a law? And what will the Immediate effects be of having to face Us pas sag thc?e years from now? The present value of silver bullion l& about 65c per cunt. There are. In the silver dollar. 4U4 grains of silver S-lOth fine, or SHU grains of pure sil ver. As an ounce of silver contains 4S0 grains. 371 grains is worth about 5n;c. go that silver dollars today are worth Intrinsically, less than Me, and when every owner of sliver bullion can take it to the mint and nave it coined free Into stiver dollars, .acr. such dollar will be worth Just what the sliver costs that tt takes to make It. tcr If they were worth any more. Instead of using the coined dol lars, one would Instead buy the cheap er silver bullion, hare it coined and use that. Henoe It Is evident that un der free silver coinage the value of the silver dollar must fall to its bul lion value. Mr. Bryan admits this, but assert a belief that our demand for silver would raise thi price of all the sliver bullion in the world from 63c an ounce to $1.25 that Is. to nearly double Its present value (and thus raise the 51 cents of silver In a silver dollar to par 100 cents) but he also admits he can't prove this, Brooklyn speech, Septem ber 24th. 1SS6, "You cannot prove by mathematics that we maintain a par ity, neither can you prove that we can not;" and he consequently argues that as neither can be proved, his belief Is just as good as that of the ablest finan ciers In the world, and on this show ing he asks that the American people elect him. and see If his belief will not come true. Opposed to Mr. Bryan's belief, how ever, stands the experience of th United States on two different occa sions, each lasting over a quarter of a century, when its demand for bullion to coin twice failed to raise the price but 3 per cent. In 1560. the bullion in a silver dol lar was worth 1.03 In gold; and the gold dollar, measured by silver, was depreciated 1 per cent Our mints were open to the free coinage of gold as well as of silver. Did our demand for old to coin raise the price of gold to par with silver? Although the world's stick of gold is much smaller than its stock of silver, and although It was only necessary to raise its price 3 per cent, we could not accomplish It. This lasted from 1843 to I860 and down to 1S73. The price of gold bullion was not raised the 3 per cent, and being the cheaper currency, it drove the sil ver out of circulation. And as no sil ver dollars had been In circulation for over Jo years. In 1373. after full debate, this coin was omitted from our coin age list. In 1792, under the ratio of 15 to 1, (in force at that time) the bullion In a gold dollar was worth 3 cents more than the silver dollar; and the silver - dollar measured by gold, was depre- elated 3 per cent. Silver being the cheaper, drove gold entirely out of clr- , i CU atinn for nvira ttinn M vra I a i until 1834, when the government chang ed the ratio from 15 to L to 16 to 1, with the effect seen above. In I860, we were a nation of over 30,000,000 of people, and had no silver on hatid. Now we are a nation of abojt 75,WO,O0O of people, but have 49,O00,0O0 of silver dollars on hand. (U. S. Treas. Report. Oct. 1, 1900.) If, with all our power in we wtre unable to raise the bullion value of gold but 3 per cent, how can we expect to rai?e the bullion; value of a s:lll larger quantity of silver not mere ly 3 per cent, but more than 15 times 3, i. e. 49 per cent. If. with over 10,000,000 of people in I860, we had been able' to raise the bullion value of gold just 3 per cent to par. then, being two and a lialf times as great a people now as we were then, we might expect to raise the bul lion prices of silver two and a half times as high, that Is Tj per cent, but how could we expect even then to raise its price not 1'A alone, but more than t times V.'i per cent, 1. e. 49 psr cent? especially when the only power we have to raise It with Is our demand for sil ver dollars, and that demand Is al ready supplied to the extent of $49S,- 000,000? How futile any such expectation must prove seems apparent. Yet unless the price of the -r -d's stock of silver is nearly doubled, the m r of bu'llon must, a we have seen, Inevitably pull the value of the silver dollar down, as bullion would be coin- fd aa long cs there was a proilt, I. e., till the values met. . At the present rate two such silver dollars would be worth less than 11.02 In gold; and If you owe a debt of e-00 today, and did not 'pay It till then. Instead of having to pay liOO In g.Jd, you could pay It with 100 sil ver dollars, worth only JIM In gold. While this might save you I9S In gold, would not your creditor lose $SS-nearly half his debt? Now If you have debts out, owing to you, and you saw that congrve was goli'g to pass a law authorising your debtor to pay them In 51 cent dollars, would you watt until const-ess passed that law. or would you Insist on your debtors paying you at once In gold tor Its equivalent) so that you should re ceive the same value that you lent him, this Is 100 gold cents on the dollar, and not about, only one-half of It? And would you not proceed to collect tn at the earliest joslble moment?' In short, every man who had money coming to him and expected silver dol lars to depreciate, would want that mcney paid him at the earliest possible moment, and would proceed to collect It with the least possible delay; and if he got It. he would Immediately put It Into gold If he could, to prevent Its depreciating on his hands, and as there are but ll.Oii.OOO.OOO of gold coin In the country. Including that In the United States treasury (by the U. S. Treasury Report. Oct. 1. 19u0) and as the total amount of money In circulation Is $2,113,000,000 (same report) It Is appar ent that many of those holding bank notes and silver certificates and silver dollars would be unable to get gold for them. So ho must start In as early as possible, and get In before others, bent on the same object, and If pos sible escape the crash and the crush. The Immediate effects then, of having to face the passage of a free silver coin age bill three years, hence would be. first, a steady and ever Increasing cur tailment of credit; a stealthy pressure to collect all outstanding debts; and as time progressed, more urgent and strenuous efforts in this direction. Business houses and other debtors call ed on to pay up would be compelled to call In their loan, and If not paid, to sell or try to sell the collaterals. Debtors would be compelled to sell their property at constantly diminish ing prices, and where all debtors were sellers at once, the declines would be such aa we have never seen before, because there has never before been such a wholesale calling In of debts, and consequently selling, as this would cause. Business houses the country over, be ing unable to collect balances due them, or to realize on their stock, ex cept at ruinously lew prices. If at all. must fail. Nothing could save them., Small depositors, nervous and fol- lowing the larger ones, would draw their balances and runs on banks would become general. With these runs upon all the banks, they must either break, or suspend. In the cities the stronger ones could combine and suspend, but the weaker ones, left out of the combination, and J all country banks, would fall, The panic and ruin during those three years of grace (and if perchance, as the N. Y. Htaats-Zeitung, in coming out to support McKlnley, on October 8th lnrt. suggests "It is not well to rely I . tnn firmlv unon the hone that rnntrren. I - ,... i,.'"" B,m " "Ul loreciosea. and the to silver." "And we must consider 1 that his election would be Interpreted I . . . .v 11 "eedless to say that there would aa a victory of silver. Many of the' ... u i"e "ubstantially no money to loan, for now opposed to free coinage have ! voted for it before, when they thought j the majority of the people desired It, j we earnestly desired an entirely differ ent solution, and must acknowledge that we are bitterly disappointed, we cannot resist the conclusion that the success of the Republican ticket, while undoubtedly a grave evil, will be the lemser of the two evils, and that, there fore, the election of William McKlnley will be connected w-lth less Immediate danger than that of William J. liryan." And If thua outlined, there should be a free silver majority In congress, we would have these evlla upon us at once) would far exceed that of 1673 or 1893, the latter of which, called the "silver panic," was caused by the ap prehension only of going on a silver ba sis. If such a panic was caused by the fear only of going on that basis, what sort of a panic would be caused by actually going to that basis? BRYAN ADMITS THE PANIC. Mr. Bryan admits this would be one of the effects of his election. In the Chicago convention In 1896, he said. "When you come before us and tell us that we shall disturb your business lnterots, we mly that you have dis turbed our buitlneaa interests," And the St. Louis dobe-Democrat, In the fall of ISs", reported hi saying "I think It" (meaning the victory of the five coinage movement! "will rouse a panic. But the country Is In a d plor able condition, and It will take ex treme measure to restore It, to a con dition of proprtty." Have you noticed his silence on sil ver In this campaign? Why Is it? CURRENCY REDUCED TWO FIFTHS. In the general scramble fur gold, as there Is not enough to go round. It would necessarily (under the greater demand than there was supply) go to a premium, with the Inevitable result that the JS-'J.OOO.OOO of gold and gold coin certificates now In circulation In the United States tU. 3, Treasury clr culitr of October 1, 1900) would bo hoanW and go out of circulation for who would pay In gold, when lie could pay In cheaper silver? As the total circulation of gold, silver, greenback's, treasury notes, bank bills, silver cortlficates and all other klnls of money In the United State w on October 1. 100, 12,113.000,000, forcing $$29,000,000 of gold out of circulation would reduce the money n circulation about two-fifths. That Is to say, whore there are now $.") of money In circula tion, then there would be but $3. Such a radical and sudden contraction of the currency would of Itself alone, and en tirely apart fromany panic on account of the depredation of the currency. cause a stringency ana panic such as we have never known. Rut coming on top of the other panic, the ruin It would spread would b difficult to des cribe. Thus railroad st.x-ks with gld mortgages ahead of them (as gold must be bought to pay interest, thus Ircrenslng If not doubling this fixed charge, aid to that extent diminish- Ing or entirely wiping out the net earnings applicable to dividends) with earnings diminished by the business collapse, would In the general panic become absolutely unsaleable. Th bottom would have dropped nut of them. Ranks, therefore, would hero ne absolutely unable to realise on their collateral, and though a combination might save the string! for a time, ultimately they, too, rnut go to the wall. The demoralisation would be complete. ' FACTORIES CLOSED. In this general crash all factor! ., mills, building operations, etc.. would shut down, and all classes of workman mechanics and laborers except farm hands, be generally thrown out of em ployment.

With no wages, the unemployed la borers could buy neither food nor clothing, and the diminished demand would cause the prices of grain, rotton and all farm products to fall, as Is al ways the case even In small panics; and such want, suffering and misery would be entailed upon the luborlng claMs. as we never have known be fore.

In this great disinter capitalists could save thinselves by buying ex change or foreclosing. The hardHhips and misery would fall upon the labor er, and thos? in debt, that Is upon the mass of our people, ami make the rich richer, and thf poer poorer. Crime and lawlessness would neces sarily Increase, and driven by hunger and despair, become rampant. Instead 0f more money, which Mr. Bryan proirmted us, we have seen that his election means a money famine for a year and more, and Inst ad of "pros perity for the producers of wealth." there would be but losses, hardships and suffering. In view of these Inevitable, and many of them conceded consequences of Mr, Bryan's election, Is It advisable to put him In? M.
