French scientist claims that he can in
fluence the course of bullets in battle
by electricity. That’s nothing, when
compared with what Spain is doing
right along in Cuba. Weyler is doing
all his fighting by telegraph.
In Sweden the education of journal

In a plea for the mines bill, which
the British Government has been
somewhat dilatory in passing, the Lon
don Chronicle makes the statement
that “1000 miners are killed in Great
Britain and more than 100,000 injured
every year. Since 1851 48,219 miners
have been killed and 4,500,000 in
jured.
The meeting of the United States
League of Building and Loan Associa
tions in Philadelphia calls attention to
the marvelous growth of these associa
tions daring the last few yeare. At
the present time there are no less than
6860 building and loan associations,
with 1,655,456 shareholders ands496,-
928,405 assets. The yearly income of
these associations is estimated at
$200,000,000. Fifty years ago a build
ing and loan association was regarded
with distrust and there were few so
venturesome as to purohase stock.
To-day there are millions of homes iD
this country which could never have
been built without the money fur
nished by these associations. There
are State leagues in most of the States
and a United States league to which
the various State organizations send
delegates. It was the latter which re
cently met iu Philadelphia.
Statisticians are never at a loss for
something to do, estimating the earth’s
population at 1,400,000,000. One in
genious fellow has figured that the
brains of the human race weigh 1,922,-
712 tous. This gives an average weight
of forty-nine ounces per capita. Ac
cording to the observations of physi
ologists, the average weight of brain in
an adult male is forty-eight ounces,
and in a female forty-three ounces,
while at birth it is said to be about
fourteen and twelve ounces, respec
tively. Something, however, must be
deduoted from the above estimate, as
a child’s brain at the age of seven
years averages about forty ounces, and
beyond tbe age of forty years the
weight slowly but steadily declines at
the rate of about one ounce in ten
years. Moreover, the brains of idiots
are generally much below the average,
some weighing less than sixteen ounces.
A German biologist has calculated
that each human brain contains 300,-
000,000 nerve cells, 5,000,000 of which
die and are succeeded by new ones
every day.
Dr. Matthew Woods, who has been
in quest of “hydrophobia” for twenty i
years, and who during two summers
personally visited every case reported j
in Philadelphia, asserts that he neve--
saw the disease either in man or ani
mal, and although he has questioned
many physicians on the subject, j
has not yet found one who has. At the ,
Philadelphia dog pound, where, on at
average, over 6000 vagrant dogs are
taken up annually, and where ths
oatchers and keepers are frequentl~
bitten while handling thorn, not ont
case of hydrophobia has occurred dur
ing its entire history of twenty-five
years, in which time about 150,000
dogs were handled. Dr. Charles W.
Dulles, leoturer on the history of '
medicines at the University of Penn
sylvania, who has performed the al
most incredible task of investiga- '
ting, either personally or be cor re- |
spondence, every case reported in the
newspapers for the past sixteen years,
•hows that hydrophobia is extremely
rare, so muoh so that he inclines to
the view that “there is no snob spe
cific malady,” having, “after sixteen
years of investigation failed to find a
single oase on record that can be con
clusively proven to have resalted from
the bite of a dog or any other cause.”

SILVER AIPEOSPEBITY.
WHY FREE COINAGE AT 16 TO 1
WILL BRING BETTER TIME?.
Prices of Commodities Would Go Up,
Farmers Would Prosper and Idle
Factories Would Resume Work
—Goldbug Arguments Answered.
“If the Democrats are successful,”
declare Republicans, “there will be
widespread ruin. A panic worse than
any recorded in history will ensue,
and the suffering of the people will be
appalling.” Asked to explain, to give
reasons for snch a dismal view of the
future of this country, the inquirer
will be met with statements contain
ing the foundationless declaration
that free coinage will depreciate the
currency, cause wholesale debt repu
diation, a loss of confidence abroad,
and the return to this country of se
curities payable in gold; and that the
demand for gold will bankrupt the
country. That is, of course, a picture
of dire calamity. But ask for the
proofs, the data that make this con
clusion a reasonable one. The Republi
can, if he has read the newspapers of
his party and gold literature, will im
mediately begin to prate about a “fif
ty cent” dollar.
Let us look into this basic argument
of the Republican.party against free
silver. What is the gold dollar to
day? Measured in gold it is worth 100
cents. What is it measured in silver
of in other commodities? To do that
will seem, to the gold standard man,
an impossibility. But get right down
to the lundamental principles that
underlie the use of gold and silver as
money. The gold man will claim that
his metal is the natural standard be
cause of its intrinsic value. Its in*
tiinsic value is so much per ounce,and
it never fluctuates. As soon as an in
dependent investigator makes the
economic fact clear to himself that
there is no such thing as intrinsic
value he is on the road to becoming
an ardent patriot, a supporter ol Bry
an and Sewall.
There is no such thing as intrinsic
value. Jevon, a gold man ; Ricardo,
John Stuart Mill, Prof. Francis A.
Walker, all men of world renown as
political economists, declare that value
arises out of the relations that exist be
tween things, and that it cannot be
intrinsic. Intrinsic quality is possi
ble, because quality is fixed, but value
is only fixed by supply and demand,
variable things. Thus gold has no in
trinsic value. If placed alongside the
other products of the earth it would
show as does wheat, corn, oats, cot
ton, silver, fluctuations according to
the supply and demand. But gold has
been specially chosen by Governments
as a unit of value, and an enormous
artificial demand for it has thus been
created. In this way silver, the other
money metal of the Constitution, has
been discriminated against, and the
money supply of this country, and the
Governments and Nations of Europe,
has been limited to a material that ik
vastly inadequate to supply the de
mands of trade. \ ;/ x
Has this great demand foiTgold affect
ed its value? The gold man will say
no! He will declare that a gold dollar
is a dollar, and that as bullion the
metal will exchange in any country in
Europe for the value intrinsically in
the metal. Place gold, its supply for
the last twenty years, alongside of sil
ver, wheat and cotton and corn, and it
will be seen that the average supply
was of not a sufficient difference to
have affected the comparative value
under natural conditions. Why is it
then that while gold has remained at
its stamped value, the other commodi
ties have fallen, or has gold risen in
purchasing value, and have the com-
modities remained at the regular prices
created by supply and demand? Has
there been an overproduction of wheat,
corn or cotton? Has there been an
overproduction of silver? What has
caused the seeming fall in prices, or
has there been a fall in prices. What
is the fact?
Gold has appreciated 1 Since 1874
it has appreciated between forty and
fifty per cent. It will to-day com
mand more in the market to that ex
tent than it would twenty years ago.
There has been no overproduction.
The snpply of cereals has kept pace
with the population. It has not ex
ceeded the ratio. It is gold that
through Government aid has appreci
ated in value and forced the prices of
commodities down to a basis that is
to-day driving men ont of business
and impoverishing millions of farmers
all over the land.
Arthur Balfour declares that when
gold appreciates it leaves the country
and goes abroad. He said that before
the bond issues. The gold of the
United States is going abroad. Bal
four declared that the greatest curse
that could visit a country would be
appreciation of its standard of value.
The corse is seen in the United States.
Thousands and thousands of men are
ont of employment, and magnificent
farms containing the finest land in
the world are lying nntilled and great
factories are still.
The gold man declares that free
silver will drive gold out of the
country. Ask the gold man what is
driving the gold ont of the country
now. When he declares that free
silver will make gold at a premium,
ask him what it meant the other day
in England when the Bank of England
raised its discount rate. Whenever
the supply of gold in England is
threatened the Bank of England raises
the rate of discount; in other words,
places a premium on gold, and saves
-its supply, When the supply in this
country is threatened the President of
the United States oalls for a bond
issue, and Americans have recently
seen the debt of the country increased
by $262,000,000. For that amount ol
debt the United States Treasury
BRYAN'S BRAINS YERSUB HANNA'S MONEY,

received a iriiie over $4 n>,dUU,UuW in
gold, which has nearly all disappeared.
Free silver does not mean that the
Gov rnment will give a dollar for fifty
cents. Make the gold man prove his
assertion to that effect. Under free
coinage the Government would re
ceive silver bullion to the weight of
371- grains and coin it into a silver
dollar, and that coin would bo given
to the silver depositor. That dollar
would be worth no more than the
market value of silver bullion. It
might not be worth as much as the
gold dollar, but it would place silver
on an equal footing with gold. Tiie
owner of the silver bullion would get
no more than his market value of the
bullion for his deposit. Would the
price of silver go up? And would the
price of other commodities follow im
mediately? That would happen be
yond the slightest doubt, and this is a
fact that gold standard men who are
familiar with the subject will not
deny. What will follow? Prosperity
follows higher pr ces as day follows
night. Farms would be tilled again
at a profit, factories, now idle, would
resume work, the owners being as
sured of a just price for their goods;
idle men would find employment, and
the only sufferers would be the lekel
bergers, Bernheimers, Rothschilds,
Belmonts and England. With pros
perity assured by tree silver, is it any
wonder that the army of sufferers
from the Nation-killing gold standard
should rally to the support of Bryan
and Sewall?—Madison (N. J.) Demo

Watered Stock and an Honest Dollar.
The Western Union Telegraph Com
pany and the Bell Telephone Company
have been consolidated, and the capi
tal stock of each company has been
increased fifty per cent. The owners
of the stock in each of these com
panies are the greatest howlers for an
honest dollar. They are also tbe
greatest waterers of stock in the coun
try. The telephone business has un
fortunately cut down the profits of
the telegraph business. Competition
would soon have forced both com
panies to lower their rates; conse
quently, they pooled their interests
and formed a trust to keep up prices,
and at the same time watered their
stock to put more money in the treas
ury. It is perfectly legitimate
for these calamity howlers to deal in
inflation, and to combine to make the
people pay dividends on watered stock
by paying more for telephone and tel
egraph rates than they are honestly
worth; but when it comes to the Na
tion’s increasing the currency by add
ing to the stock of gold a similar stock
of silver, or making fifty-three cents*
worth of bullion worth a dollar in
money, there are no more fierce, ag
gressive and uncomprising adherents
of National honesty and National
honor, and no more bitter and ven
omous foes of repudiation than these
masters in the art of ballooning cor
porate values.—-New York Suburban.
Before and After Election.
England will never consent to silver
remonetization, for the reason it is
the gree.t creditor Nation of the world.
There is* but one way to get the gold
to maintain parity, that is by buying
it, and the only way to buy it is to is
sue bonds. Since 1891 we have in
creased the National debt by $262,000,-
000 in the purchase of gold. This
costs ns in interests $10,500,000
a year. Another bond issae would
have been required for another SIOO,-
000,003 before this, but for the fact
that gold speculators got scared as to
its effect on the elections, and “pa
triotically” swapped their gold for
greenbacks, and so averted the threat
ened bond issue a few weeks ago.
After election it will be difleient.
The Treasury will be loaded up with
gold, and the'gold sharks will recom
mence their raids for gold and force
another bond issae. The very green
backs they received in exchange for
gold a month ago will be utilized to
draw that gold from the Treasury.

| THE BATTLE CRY OF FREEDOM.
■ Some Reasons Why the People De
mand the Free Coiuage of Silver.
The people desire the free coinage
of gold and silver at the old ratio—
-16 to I—because1 —because they are honest and
want to pay their debts. In times
past they have borrowed large sums
of money and agreed to return the
| same with interest. It was legally and
morally a part of their agreements
that they should return these loans in
money similar in kind and value to
that which they had received. With
out such an equitable and just under
standing, borrowing and lending
would have been impossible. But be
tween the date of the loan and the
date of payment money has become
the equivalent of gold. That, and
that alone can now satisfy the cove
nant of the bond. Asa conse
quence, the obligation has become
doubly onerous. The effort to dis
charge its superadded burden is un
availing; property has shrunken in
value, and the debtor is becoming
bankrupt. He realizes that, though
he has paid two-thirds of the Nation
al debt as it was in 1865, with inter
est exceeding the principal sum, it
nevertheless requires more of his
products to pay the remaining third
than was originally necessary to pay
it all. He feels, and has a right to
feel, that his Government has allied
itself with his creditor for bis undo*
ing, and he protests against its disre
gard of the sacred purposes of its cre
ation and existence.
The people demand free coinage of
both gold and silver because the unre
stricted use of these metals by the pub
lic mints makes contraction difficult
and the cornering of the money vol
ume impossible. Silver can only be
used for coins of small denomina
tions. It does the work of the com
mon people; it goes to and remains
among them; it is the measure of
their small, but innumerable transac
tions. It does not seek the great finan
cial centres of the land, to be held in
reserve or utilized in the adjustment
of balances, but does the monetary
work of the world, when specie is
used at all. It cannot be gathered by
the lew and stored away to the disas
ter of peoples and the confusion of
Governments. It is not popular with
those advocates of “sound money”
who confonud soundness with scarc
ity. It can not be utilized by syndi
cates for sale to panic-stricken debt
ors or to Governments which they first
control and then debauch. Its use re
lieves the pressure on gold, and, like
a true helpmate, it bears with the lat
ter the common burden of the hour.
It enables the people to look upon the
ebb and flow of gold without fear or
apprehension. It places the total of
primary money at a figure adequately
commensurate with the needs of
the world, steadies values, makes a se
cure basis for paper circula
tion, and prevents the acquisition
by private interests of the sovereign
power to furnish the people with such
kinds and amounts of money as in
their judgment may be necessary or
expedient, to be expanded as contraot
el at their pleasure.
The people demand the restoration
of silver money because they are op
posed to the further expansion of debt
and see no other way to avoid it. The
annual interest charge upon the Na
tion is enormous. Two hundred and
fifty millions of dollars are needed to
liquidate that part of it which accrues
to the foreign creditors and which
must be paid in specie or in commodi
ties whose price is fixed by the com
petition of the Nations. More than
thrice that sum is needed to liquidate
the remainder. This mast be earned
or borrowed to reap its meed on inter
est in turn. Only net earnings are
available for interest charges and bor
rowing can not go on forever. Why
should we beg for loans from the ac
cumulated treasures of Europe when
we can dig from the hills tne silver
and gold from which money has from
time immemorial been coined? Why
Bhonld we pay tribute to Csesar for
the bounties with which nature has
endowed ue, but whose blessings we
spurn at the behest of avarice and
greed? With the restoration of its
money function to silver and its ad
mission to the mints on equal terms
with gold, in accordance with the
spirit of every National political plat
form whioh baa spoken upon the sno
jeofc, this Republic would begin a
career of commercial and industrial
glory without parallel in its past and
with no limit to its future.
The noonle need the gold and silver
coinage of the Constitution because
they bear the greater portion of the
public burdens. Taxes bear heavily
upon them and the infamous bond is
sues have grievously increased them.
Taxes must be paid by industry, for
such is the edict of the Supreme Court.
Realized wealth cannot be made to
share the public expenditures, al
though it asserts the first right to Gov
ernmental protection. The decisions
of a century have been blown away
like ohaff; the great principles of
equality and uniformity of taxation
has been swept aside; the existence of
a privileged class has been judicially
recognized; the Nation is impotent to
enforce its sovereign power against the
stronghold of wealth and affluence. It
may levy war and control commerce ;
it may coin gold and suppress insur
rection ; it may vindicate the Monroe
doctrine and sell bonds, but it cannot,
coin silver nor lay its hands upon the
sacred income! Whither are we
drifting? Has the spirit of our im
mortal forefathers no place in the
hearts of honest and patriotic Ameri
cans? Have we lost faith in the sta
bility and grandeur of this great Re
public? When the people are aroused
to the tiue condition of this country
we answer, No! The lines of battle
have at last been distinctly drawn,
and the contest is between the masses
and the classes, the common people oi:
our country against organized wealth,
backed by foreign commercial syndi
cates. In times past, when our conn
try put the test of patriotism and con
fidence on the shoulders of her sub
jects when she was in need, the com
mon people of the land responded
loyally to her cause, and we believe
that in the present crisis they will also
be found on the side of a Government
“by the people, of the people and for
the people.-’-Ur-New York Suburban.
The Stars in the Flag Are Silver.
Out of the West from the land of the grain,
Comes the sound of a song men are sing

Is the flash of the flag they arc bringing.
Welcome the banner, ’tis no foreign rag,
Look! they are silver! tbe stars in the flag.
Now at the shop and the forge and the mill
With the beads on her brow Labor
standeth:
“What is this army approaching at will?
And what is the thing it commandeth?
Would it ‘Old Glory’ from battlements
drag?”
Look! they are silver! the stars in the flag.

fields,
’Tis a ory like the cry of a mother:
“Men of tbe East would you raise golden
shields
“In a war on a friend and a brother?
“Who says our banner is Anarchy’s rag?”
Look! they are silver! the stars in the flag.
Silver! not gold are the two score of stars.
And they tell for our country its story.

For a measure of gold, our “Old Glory!”

Look! they are silver! the stars in the flag.

Gold Prices a Disadvantage.
The demonetization of silver led to
a general fall of prices through the
appreciation of gold. But at the same
time, by breaking the international
par of exchange between gold and
silver, it gave silver-using Nations an
advantage in the markets of Europe
over countries producing and selling
the same commodities on a gold basis.
Asa result, our great export staples
have fallen considerably more than
the general average, greatly to the in
jury, more especially, of the agricul
tural classes.
Prices of manufactured goods have
been better sustained during the last
two or three years, but it has been
largely by means of combines, and
prices have been held up (so far as
they have been at all) by limiting
production, which is itself au evil of
no small magnitude. Besides, the
keeping up of manufacturers’ prices a
little above the silver level is operat
ing to the disadvantage of that class,
by stimulating the manufactures of
silver standard countries, so that in
the end the American manufacturer
may be injured even worse than the
agriculturalist. —National Bimetallist.
Free Co'u age.
What is meant by free coinage is
that silver shall be coined upon the
terms and conditions which apply to
tae coinage of gold. This was the
case from time immemorial previous
to 1873. The Government always
charges sufficient for refining the
metal and preparing it for coinage,
added to the profit on the alloy, to
pay the expenses of the mint and
make that institution self-sustaining.
Free coinage means that gold and sil
ver shall be coined with no charge for
profit to the Government and only
sufficient charge to defray the expenses
which the Government incurs. Under
free coinage the Government will
neither lose nor make by the opera-,
tion of coining either gold or silver,
but it would coin all the gold and all
the silver presented for that purpose.
The Cheap Dollar Bugaboo.
In one breath oar goldbug friends
howl “50*cent dollar,” and m the
next they declare that free coinage is
all for the benefit of the silver mine
owner. Well, if the silver miner will
only get a 50-cent dollar for his 50
cents’ worth of silver, wherein is the
benefit to him. Bat, if on the other
hand, he gets a dollar for his “50
cents’ worth” of silver, the silver dol
lar under free coinage must be, not a
50-cent bat a 100-cent dollar. There
i3 no one quite so inconsistent as the
argumentative goldbug. Wheeling

And russet is her gown—
Yet she’s the pride of the country side

Though no crown she possesses,
Beyond a wealth of rich brown hair
That hangs in dainty tresses:
Her matchless eyes have long outvied
The gems in monarch’s crown—
And she’s the pride of the country sido

Wins more than wealth, renown—
