MR. BRYAN AND SILVER. Mr. Bryan is evidently weakening. At Graf ton, "Wednesday, lie said: "When our mints were open to the free coinage of gold nnd silver on equal terms, we did not not.

nave any trouble about silver being a dollar; and when we open otir'mints agaiu to" on an equal footing with sold, will tie nobody to complain of IKty-three-cemt dollars, because silver dollar wfll be worth as'inueh ns a dollar here everywhere else in the world." Tli'is'ls the.kind of talk he gives to sound money Democrats, though he knows that history shows that silver niid gold never did circulate side by side. The ratio was frequently to bring about that result, but the market price changed more rapidly than the )nw. But the same day he said at Martinsburg: 'The dearer you make money, the lower you make prices genei-aHy, and falling prices hard It -was only four that Mr, Bryan argued that free trade would make lower prices and lower prices would make better times. Here he takes the opposite ground and in the same day says that free coinage will bring silver up to gold.ond make cheaper money. nils-is simply nonsense, and the surprising tiling is that there Is 'one man in -a county who talks to favor of it The Pharos does not take up The Journal challenge that It will wind It up 'In three days.

It dare Nor docs anyone else. The free, coinage proposition rcQtes on. ignorance, prejudice and party allegiance, from whatever cause, for Its support. The Journal agrees to knockout'any free coinage advocate In three rounds, Judge J. C.

Nelson, -Dr. B. C. Stevens and Dcaiuis TJhl, three Democrats, to be the referees. Will the Pharos, or any free sliver ad vocate, meet the challenge? You cannot liaive cheap money, silver as less than gold, aittd "plenty" money at the same time.

WJth silver less than gold; at a ratio of 1C to 1 nil contracts will be made payable tn golrt, and there will bo no cheap money. With silver at the goJd value no more money will be coined because tho owners of silver will sell it at bullion value and no one will go to the trouble nnd expense of coining lit.

sooner Mr. realizes tnait it not 'be Ivnid under any rinviopemeut I which compels the Populists to make humiliating surrender of their prin ciples in votiuc for Sownll electors tlie better it will for OUT campaign." Thomas Watson, the Populist candidate for vice president, telegraphs to the World a review of the political situation in Tvluc-h conclusion he says: "IJuder present conditions Mr, Bryan camnot get the full Pcpulw't vote. He cannot get it in Kn.nsas or Colorado. He cmnnot get it in Nortli Carolioa or Nebraska. In.

tlio friendliest spirit, I give this warning. He will make of his life if he listens to the fusion lenders and believes that a full Populist vote can bc- h.id for 'Bryan with Scwall on the ticket "Populist voters are men who have educated themselves on political topics. They will not stultify themselves by voting- their convictions. They will not vote for a man, who, it Mr. Bryan does, will make us another president after the fashion of Grover Cleveland, They may not be able to breailc up the fusion deaJ, but they can stay at home.

"The contract made at St. Louis for a limited Democmtic-Populist ticket should be carriixl out ia good faith. Demiocratic fnanageiis should not expect to hold us to It when they ignore it themselves. McKinley is responsibility, will iforevcr rest upon those mnuogers -who had it in tlie.T power to control by fair means 2,000,000 votes ami who lost them by violating the of.the compact The. writer of this, has stood loyally by Mr.

Bryan throughout the campaign, will continue to do so; and it la-out of a sincere desire to see him elected tliat lie point: out weak place in our lines In time for It to 'be strengthened. Mr. Chnlr- Tones.can do It anoLis under implied contoct to do should for Bryan's sake, lose no time in doing it "In Hike Indiana, and Illinois, where Populists are in minority, -they get the minority of electors. In 'States like Kansas and Colorado where the Populists are In a. majority they get no electors atollA In one State dt this great and glorious union the fusion goes half the distance between Populists and Republicans, and the other half 'between Populists'and Democrats.

A grave-digger for Populist fusion, with Sewall on the ticket, may as well be recognized as a distinct success. If not disturbed in his work, the digger will have the hole ready by 'the time the funeral procession arirves. 'The menace that endangers Mr. Bryan's success is the profound dissnitlsfactlon which exists among the ihnmble, -honest, Populists who have built up the People's party. This is not said In any tnreatening splrit'and antagonism.

'Everywhere I have advised our people to stand loyally to the support of Mr. Bryaii, though little credit Is given me for having done so. Democratic paiper has given me the slightest credit for refusing Bepirb- llcan fusion In Georgia and combating it in Texas. one accord the Bryan and Sewall papers have given me nothing misrepresentation and ridicule. How.

much 1 good they hoped to do- Mr. Bryan by adopting this-lino of policy I canuot see." 'I respectfully warn Mr. Chairman Jones of the danger Mr. Bryan is In. The Populist voters are dissatisfied and suspicious.

They feel Instinctively that the fusion, policy, wMcii compels them to vote (for Sewall is the beginning of- the end of the People's party. They feel that the principles they love are being used as political merchandise and that the Populist vote is being bought and paid for us now being delivered to those who bought It. the full yote necessary, Bryan's election?
