W. J. Bryan will certainly be the next president of the United States. The campaign has progressed far enough to show that the result is mere ly a Question of how large a majority the people will roll up against the domination of Wall street and the supremacy of the English gold stand ard. Mr. Bryan has issued the follow ing signed statement which fully coin cides with and verifies the Judgment and sentiment of the overwhelming majority of the people. It looks as if the election was going to be a land slide, a tidal wave which will sweep all before it The following is Mr. Bryan's statement, issued to the press Satur day morning from Cincinnati: "I have no doubt of my election. I base my confidence upon the fact that the free coinage sentiment is growing every day. The people are studying the money question, and the study cf It Is convincing ithe people generally that there can be no prosperity so long as the gold standard is maintained. "The gold standard makes a dearer dollar. A dearer dollar makes falling prices, and falling prices mean hard times. The people who profit by hard times are relatively so few in number that they would amount to nothing at all but for the fact that they are aided by a considerable number of people who, not having studied the money question themselves, have received in etructions from a few financiers. "The number of republicans who have declared for free silver outnum bers the democrats who have deserted the ticket, and while the number o: silver republicans Is Increasing all the time, the number of bolting democrats is all the time decreasing. "While I have no doubt as to my elec tion, I believe that the advocates of free coinage should work from now to election day to make the majority in the electoral college so large that no party hereafter will ever dare fo pro pose submission to a foreign financial policy. "W. J. BRYAN." INGERSOLL FOR SILVER. Aa Eloquent Exrtact from His Addrest to the Farmer of Illinois. Republican newspapers have some times referred to Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll in this campaign as an op ponent of free silver and a supporter of the single gold standard. We are Bure this must do Colonel Ingersoll great Injustice, for he does not ordi narily place himself on both sides of any great public question. In an ad dress to the farmers of Illinois, deliv ered in 1891 and given in full in his volume of speeches and lectures pub lished by the Rhodes &- McClure Pub lishing company, of Chicago, Colonel Ingersoll thus spoke in his own pictur esque style on this subject: "For my part I do not ask any Inter ference on the part of the government except to undo the wrong It has done. I do not ask that money be made out of nothing. I do not ask for the pros perity born of paper. But I do ask for the remonetizatlon of silver. Sil ver was demonetized by fraud. It was an Imposition upon every solvent man; a fraud upon every honest debtor in the United States. It assassinated la bor. It was done in the interest of ' avarice and greed, and should be un done by honest men." This eloquent extract is to be found on page 49 of the volume of his speeches above referred to. One who spoke from such strong convictions then cannot have gone over to the sup port of the tingle gold standard now and become an apologist for the very crime here so strongly denounced. We are satisfied, therefore, that the pub lished report that Colonel Ingersoll is opposed to the remonetizatlon of sil ver is t gross and unfounded libel. Friends of Bryan and free coinage will not be misled by the false reports and unfounded claims of the Republic an papers of Chicago. They have proved themselves in this campaign to be not only unreliable, but utterly un scrupulous as well. Their chief stock In trade Beems to be falsehood and mendacity.

Palling Hanna's Leg That la What tha Southern Republicans Have Been Do ing la tha Most Artistic Manner Silver Sentiment Continues, Chicago, Oct. 8. (Special.) Convinc ing evidence is accumulating daily at National Democratic headquarters that Mr. Bryan will sweep the southern, western and central middle states in November. This claim is not based upon reports of enthusiastic politicians, but Is the result of careful investiga tion, and very careful canvasses made in the debatable territory by national, state and local managers of the free sil ver campaign. The wild statements sent out during the past four or five days by the Republican managers, in which they claim certain western states by majorities so large that they appear ridiculous even to Republicans, is further evidence that they have nothing on which to base their claims, while their only hope lies in making unsupported claims in the vain hope of bolstering up a lost cause. It is known, however, that inside reports obtained at the MeKinley headquarters are widely different from those given out to the gold press. For instance, it is known that a Republican canvass of Nebraska gives that state to MeKinley by only 3,000 majority. This report is clouded by the statement that, in order to carry Nebraska work must be done between ' now and November, a sure indication that the Republicans have no hope of carrying that state. A Democratic canvass of Nebraska shows that Bryan will carry it by not less than 25,000; the Democratic poll showing a Republican defection in every county of the state, including Douglass county, and Omaha, of from 20 to 25 per cent. The Republican man agers are sure of this fact, and rely wholly upon wild and unsupported claims to keep up the courage of their followers. The same thing is true in Kansas, except that Republican leaders have actually conceded that state. This being the case, it is absolutely certain that Bryan will carry every state west of the Missouri river, clear to the Pacific coast. It is also known that the Republican managers have privately conceded, to Bryan every southern state. A prom inent Chicago railway official, in close touch with Republican national head quarters, has, within the past two days, made the candid admission that MeKinley stood no more chance of carrying any southern state than he has of carrying Colorado, and be ad mitted that Bryan would carry Colo rado by 75,000 majority. This railway official, in the same private conversa tion, stated that any man who offered to bet $1 on MeKinley was either a born fool or painfully anxiously to part with his money. He further stated that the talk about carrying Texas, Tennes see, North Carolina and other south ern states for MeKinley has been man ufactured by a clique of southern Re publican politicians solely for the pur pose of "pulling Mark Hanna's leg;' that they had succeeded In doing so, and that was all they expected; that not one of the states would fail In giving Bryan an overwhelming major Ity. This view, he stated, was ob tained from a personal trip throughout the states in question. Reports from every so-called debata ble state received during the past two weeks show that the silver sentiment is Increasing at a rate never before known since the inception of the move ment. Republicans, everywhere, espe Jially among the farmers and laboring men, are coming out boldly and joining the Bryan ranks. In many of the counties of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Mlnne ota there is a wholesale stampede of Republican farmers to the support of Bryan. Instead of being on the wane, the sliver movement is growing more rapidly than it has at any time dur ing the past two months. One or two ! instances will show this feeling. JD. H.

The fol lowing cablegram from London ap peared In the Chicago Tribune, the most partisan goldbug newspaper in America, and should forever set at rest any doubt as to the authenticity of the celebrated London Financial News ar ticle, which has been so vigorously do nied by the goldbug press: "London, Oct 2. (Copyrighted, 1896, by the Press Publishing Company, New York World.) The World correspond ent examined to-day a file of the Lon don Financial News in its office, and quotes the following extract from an editorial in its issue of April 30, 1894 "There can be no doubt about it that if tho United States were to adopt a sil ver baBis to-morrow British trade would be ruined before a year was out, because American industry would be protected not only at home, but In every other market." In addition to the above proof, the following affidavit has been received by the national Democratic press bu reau at national headquarters: "I, William Durant, proprietor of The Press Cutting agency, of 57 Holborn Viaduct, In the County of London, do solemnly and sincerely declare that, I have examined the file of 'Financial News' newspapers at the British mu seum (London) and that the article at tached hereto, now produced and shown to me marked: 'A' and headed 'England and the Silver Question,' ap peared in that journal on the 30th day of April, 1894, and that the reprint at tached as aforesaid is an exact copy, "And I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true and by virtue of the provisions of the statutory declarations act of 1835.

HUMPHREY, "A Commissioner for Oath." Notwithstanding the fact that the Chicago Tribune printed the above ca blegram from London in its news col umns, its editorial columns to-day de nounces the London Financial News article as a Democratic forgery. It only shows the Tribune's capacity for lying is only exceeded by its love for British gold power. If the Chicago Tribune can lie so egregiously in this instance, what confidence can the pub lic place in any statement made by that mendacious sheet? Gold has begun to flow into this country, money to take a tumble and products and securities to rise in exact proportion to the size and enthusiasm of the demonstrations given Mr. Bryan wherever he goes, -in the east more es pecially, and as the indications of his election become more certain. If silver agitation can do what has been done, what may we not reasonably expect from the full remonetizatlon of the white metal? The boltine Democrats who have nominated Palmer and Buckner are the same men who accomplished the com Dlete destruction of silver as money in 1873. Since then wages have gone down one-half, and 3,000,000 able bodied men have been thrown out of employment. Between buying an excursion ticket to Canton and losing their jobs, a good jiany men are buying tickets who will vote for Bryan when they get inside the election booth. Wages are fixed and governed by, or hould be, by the price or that which .abor produces. The people have a right to know aow their hired men conduct the pub ic business.

"I am in favor of the free coinage of silver because it seems probable that it would result in a more stable currency in the United States, and ultimately throughout the great commercial na tions of Europe. The weight i,ol evidence appears to prove that prices are steadier under bi metallism,, than under a single gold standard. Tbe studentcannot be sure as to the result of o return to bimetallein by one nation, though a nation of so great in fluence in the financial world as the United States, for such an experiment, under similar conditions, has not as yet been tried: and adequate statistics to BHtnblish a. oositive opinion have not been eathered. Yet. IF THE EXISTING BEAD LOCK. on the question of remonetiiation of silver IS TO BE BROKEN at the near fntnre. IT MUST BE BROKEN, I AM CONVINCED, BY THE INDEPENDENT ACTinU OF THE UNITED STATES or some other great power, For the good of society THE DEAD LOCK OUGHT TO BE BROKEN; hence I ain Killing to take such rinks not very great when all the available facts are calmly considered as the experi ment involves. Airain. I AM IN FAVOR OF FREE SILVER COINAGE, BECAUSE IT WILL GIVE US A MORE "HONEST" DOL LAR, that. is, a dollar more equitable for all, than the dollar we now have. This I think is true whether silver bullion rises to the par value of ft 29 an ounce, or whether it does not. First, it is by no means certain that the parity of gold and silver cannot be maintained. On that point, it must be frankly admitted, we need statistics. We do not know positively tbeamount of silver in the world available for mint age in the United States; nor how much the output can be increased in a short time under the stimulus of a higher price. But here the burden of proof is on the opposition; for IT DOES NOT SEEM PROBABLE; FROM PRESENT DATA, THAT SUFFICIENT SILVER CAN COME K FROM EITHER OF THE SOURCES MENTIONED TO INCREASE THE CIRCULATION PER CAPITA BE YOND WHAT THE EXPANDING BUS INESS AND POPULATION WILL RE QUIRE. Besides, it is pretty clearly established that the stability of the vUw of coinage does not depend solely, nor peril apn mainly, npon the cost of production. Second, if, under free coinage of silver, parity of the two metals should not be maintained; if silver should not rise to the value of gold, I still think that we shall have a more 'honest' dollar than we have,liad under the present system. An appreciating currency, or what is the same thing for the present point, falling prices, is for a time favorable to 'pensive' capital, to those who loan money. On the other band risiug prices are favorable to those who borrow. An absoletely honest or staple dollar is the idea; but hard, perhaps impossi ble, to obtain. But, ho far as the wel fare of society is concerned, EVEN A "FIFTY-CENT DOLLAR" IS MORE HONEST THAN A "ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY CENT DOLLAR," as a re cent writer has well said. If any one it to get more than be con tracts ior, let it be the debtor, the farm er, the small, "active" capitalist, rather than the money loaner, It is hardly an exaggeration to say, that under thepresentconditions a large loan ay of several millions could be profitably made without ehargingany rmr "UJ I interest ar all: for the increase in clmsiiitf power of the principal whn paid would yield about 3 per cent a year Lnstlv. I am in favor of the free com age of silver, because I BELIEVE IT Declares for the White THE WAGE EARNERS Be Improved and Con OF ALL, Including the creditors class. Hare again we lack sufficient statistics to show exactly what the state of wages Is.- ', But such information as we have seems to show that tbe AVERAGE ANNUAL WAGE HAS BEEN LOWERED UNDER THE GOLD STANDARD. It is not sufficient to show, as has been often at tempted, that the wage-earner Is In terested iu maintaining the gold stan dard, since, as alleged, the price of an average day's work has not fallen, and through the law of an inertia, would not soon rise to adjust itself to a "cheaper" money It the wage earners were employed more days in the year be might still have the advantage. This, I think, would be the case. Therefore, if the change would tend, as seems probable, to stimulate ousiness and increase tbe general prosperity of the country, it is to the advantage of the 'passive' element of capital also; for under present conditions the opportu nitv for profitable investments must In evitably decrease. The time may come when old debts cannot be readily col lected, nor new ones contracted; for to loan well there must be able borrowers. George E. Howabd.

Chica go, II The Republican goldbug papers have already begun to fear that, as one of them prints, "in the event of McKin- ley's election, the Republican political managers will find themselves hand! canned with expectations which can net be easily realized.". It Is entirely unnecessary that McKlnley's backers should begin, either now or later, to nave the war for their utter failure to redeem any of the extravagant prom ises they have been making tbe coun try of great prosperity and good times In the event of McKlnley's election, for that contingency will never arise, and they will have no occasion after the election to explain. A Boston paper quotes a London financial Journalist as follows: "AVe did not think there was anything In the silver agitation until one of your groat polHiwU parties took 'it no, and we don't know now that Mr. Bryan Is to be elected, but In this country when a great political party takes up a move ment we find sooner or later that it sue ceeds." English knowledge 'of Ameri can politics Is often ludicrously Inac curate, but in this instance it Is based on very correct observation. Ninety per cent of the people going to Canton to visit MeKinley are haulad there on free excursion trains to make a showing. The laboringmen in the crowds are not only hauled there free fit nhnrrtt hnt thev do not lose tht ' time from their weekly pay. Senator Palmer, the bolting goldbug candidate for the presidency, says Me Kinley will carry Illinois and Mary land and be elected. Palmer Is more concerned In McKlnley's election than in his own. "It is not more money we want," says MeKinley in his letter of acceptance; yet the circulating medium has fallen off $150,000,000 In the last two years. Did we have too much money two years ago? The railroad bosses may drive their men into MeKinley clubs and compel them to go to Canton, but they cannot compel Uiem to vote a MeKinley bal lot.
