In the speocli dellvcicd by Wllllntn
.lennlng.s lliynn to the farmers of New
York assembled nt Chautatuiuil , the In
dia wheat fake was revamped by the
silver candidate for president. The as-
Bcitlon made by Mr. Bryan In his
Omaha debate last May that the dig-
llsh specnlatois could drive great bar
gains In buying silver and trading It
for India uhoat to the dctilment of the
Amcilcan fannerns rolteinted and
embellished by his fervid Imagination
so as to eieatc the impiesslon that the
decline of silver has made India the
most formidable competitor ot * the
American wheat nnd cotlon gtoweis.
As usual , Mr. Bryan talked at inndom
without taking the tionblo to acquaint
himself with the actual facts.
The Bee now has the facts and the
llgutes thnt effectually explode Mr.
Bryan's India fake. Over two months
ago the editor of The Bee dliectcd a per
sonal Inqiiliy on this subject to Hon.
.Tames Biyce , who Is now and has for
many jears been a member of Tallin-
ment and was a member of the
llosebeiy cabinet as piesldent of the
Biltish Hoaid of Tiadc. Uespondlng to
this letter , under date of August I , Mr.
Bryeo says :
You arc quite right In thinking that Brit
ish merchants gain nothing at all from the
closing of the Indian mints. The sharp
competition , especially of the Hindoo natl\o
merchants , cuts down tliclr profits and they
loie hoa\lly on the exchange between India
nnl nugland In turning Into English goU
the slhcr prices they receive ( or the goods
they export to India. The export of food
stuffs from India has not , I nnther , Increased
during the last few jears and the closing
of the mints has not Increased It. Man
chester and our manufacturers generally
complain that business with India Is un
profitable Our cotton Industry Is at pres
ent greatly depressed. So nritcln at least
gains nothing. You will , therefore , be safe
in denjlng that there hati been , or Is , any
bonus or benefit to British merchants or
manufacturers.
This letter 1ms been supplemented by
1'iof. Biyce with an article piepaied
by his brother , .1. Annan Biyce , a veii
piomiiient London meiclmnl , who was
lor many yeaus a icsldent of India. Mi.
J. Annan Biice sajs.
Tor Mr. llosowater's guidance I have
made t.p the annexed statement , which
shows In parallel columns the exports of
wheat from the United States , Argentine ,
Hussla and India up to 1S71 ? before the fall
in silver and rupee exchange became pro
nounced You will observe tint while the
exports from the United States , Ilussla an
Argentine are on the whole Increasing ,
these from India are falling off , and tha
in the jcar 1S93 the exports from Imll.
were the same as In the jcar 1877. 0
course It does not do to reason on Indhldua
jcars , as there may bo special clrcum
stances , such as famines , to account fo :
very short years For Instance , 1873 anil
1870 were the jears of the great famine In
India , and 1S92 was the > car of the famln
In Hussla.
Dividing the last twenty jears Into pe
rlods of five years each , jou will see tha
during the last three five-year periods thi
exports from India have been falling off ,
while these from the United States , Argcn
tine and Russia have been Increasing , al
though all the while rupee exchange has
been steadily falling with silver. The
figures prove conclusively as regards Indian
wheat , which has alwajs been the great
bogy with the American sliver man , that
the India export has hail nothing to do
with the fall ot silver or rupee exchange ,
The silver man would bo more sensible If
he were to take alarm at the growing ex
ports fiom Argentine and fiom Ilussla
Hut he could make nothing of the silver
argument here , for nclthei Ilusslan nor Ar
gentine exchange depends on silver. Both
countries , during the whole of the period
embraced In my statement , had for the
basis of their ciincncy nnd of course for
eign excrnnge an Inconvertible paper cur
rency and not either silver or gold
Altogethei the facts Illustrate the sound
ness of Mr. Uosewater's conclusion that the
fall In prices of commodities Is duo to more
economical production and transport. In
India , In Ilussln and In Argentine
wheat export became possible not be
cause tlio exchange value of the rupee , the
rouble or the dollar fell , but because rall-
wajs weio built Into districts previously
Inaccessible. In India the providing of rail
way facilities stimulated the extension of
Irrlgitton. In the Punjab , for Instance ,
many million of acres \vcro brought Into
cultivation under irrigation as soon as the
opening of the railway to Karachi made
the export possible. Hut In India there
no longer lemalns any laige now Held to
be opened up , and In most of the whcat-
[ iroduolng distilcts which depend on irri
gation I bellevo as much water is nov ,
taken out of the rivers as they can give
.Vnierlca therefore need not fear India much
In the future oven if sllvct and the rupee

The statistical exhibit accompanying
this .statement Is exhaustive and con

Cotton exports from India to Kuropo
uivo been equally at vaiianco with
ho theoiies advanced by Mr , Bryan.
In 1871 India expotted l.'i'SO.bSbales
mil la 1875 1'J 11,0 0 bales. During
the five years following Its cotton OX'
port was below 1,000,000 bales. In 187f
It was oiilj OIM. > 8 bales. Dining the
live years ending with 1SC ! the cotton
export from India has been steadily
decieaslng. In ISO ! It was 1,028,111
bales ; In 181)2 ) , 031,000 bales ; in JSIW ,
Sr > 7,771 bales ; In IStH , 7 ! 7,070 bales ; hi
18)5 ! ) , ( ! 2Ti,000 bales. In contrast wltli
this the United States expoits of cotton
have been steadily Increasing. In 1t > ! H ]
they amounted to 5,020,1)1 ) bales ; In
1S)1 ! ) , 0.820,77 ! ) bales ; in 1N)2 ) , 5S)1,111 ! )

Thus It will be- seen that the India
bugbear has no foundation , but ha
been conjmed up for political pmposoH
by Bryaiii Harvey anil all the apostles

The action of the convention of the
national domociacy , which meets In In
dianapolis today to nominate a thlid

geneial Inteiest. This will be chlelly
Wilh icfeu'iice to the chaiaeter of the
ticket , for manifestly It is necessary in
older to give this movement the tlcslied
L'lfeethonoss that the nominees of the
convention should be stiong men ,
woilliy of the conlldence and able to
command the attention of democrats.
Tliero ought to be no dllliculty In llnd-
Ing such a man one who Is thoioughly

pies of the domocintlc paity and of such
ability and chaiacler as to attiact to his
wippoit nil tine demociats who are un
willing toote for the lepubllcan ticket.
It Is not suipilsing to find a consldeia-
ble sentiment in favor of the nomina
tion ot Mr. Cleveland , but It can haidly
be doubted that to do this would be a
mistake and there aio indications that
the piesident does not deslie it done.
If ids name Is uiged upon tlio conven
tion It will nffoiil him tin excellent op-
poitunlty to ghe public cxptosslon to
his views on the situation and he might
be expected under such chcuiiKstances
to mall himself of the chance lo make

A btllliant oi.itor and an aggressive

Ing campaign that could not fall to bo

In legaid to a platfoim it vvoiild seem

Tlio convention piomises to be laigeli

The Oroaha. World-Herald says that the
ocorcl bears out Mr. Uryan's statement lhat
'wo had bimetallism from 1792 to 1873"
rhu record does not bear It out , but abso
lutely contradicts and disproves It We
liad tree coinage from 179J to 1S73 , but wo
never had bimetallism. Wo never had
larlty of gold and silver coins Wo never
iad the double standard. Prom l"yJ to
1873 we bail al aya uiouometallUiu ; silver
monometallism from 1792 to 1S31 under free
coinage at 15 to 1 , and gold inonometallisn
afterward under free coinage at 1C to 1
Under free coinage from 1792 to 1873 elthci
sllvei or gold v\as excluded from use as currency
roncy or as a standard. This la the fac
and the record. And jet llrjan has the
nerve to assert that free coinage at 1C to 1
would give us bimetallism now.

Hryan mifht to have stopped and told how

Ono immediate- effect of the nomination
of Hryan , which Is being felt moru and more
dally a * the silver agitation continues , Is the
maiked falling off In the saleof municipal
bonds The weekly average sale of these
bonds before tint Chicago convention was
} 2J21,000 , Tor tlio month from July 20 to
August 20 this average dropped to $8S2i'J3
Tor the v\ei'ks that Intervene before the
election in November It Is probable the sale ,
will cease practically until it ran bo known j
whether the paity ot repudiation or that of
sound money Is to conduct the government
for the next four years
This feature of the depression caused by
tha mere possibility of Dryuu'y election Is
particularly significant because these bonds
are essentially the "bonds of the people "
They arc Issued by tlm people In theh cor-
pnrato capacities and the proceeds expended
on municipal Improvements , thus reaching
the pockets of tlio laboring classes As the
I rmds In most cases are regarded as oml
neatly safe Investments , they are bought
largely by managers of trust funds , and find
lodgement eventually In the vaults of sav
ings hanks , which are tlfo repositories also
of the savings of the frugal laboring men
This form of Investment would ho consid
ered the last that would bo affected by the
financial depression , hut It too has felt now
tlio destrtictlvcncBs of the Bryan blight The
Dally and Weekly Hondbuyer of New York
lias compiled a rtcord ot the commtinltli'a
that have Buffered most severely In this wa ;
during tliy month ending August 20 , and U
Is something arnailng
T'icro arcsixtysix In the list whoso bonds
'were ' not sold cither because there vveru no
bldi or the hlJs were too small , and the total
amount thus offered vvas $11,901,450. New
York City heads the list with a bond offer
of nearly M,000,000. Tlii'Bo wcro supposed
to bo gilt-edged Investments , but all the
bids vvero o low the city ofllilals ucro
forced tu reject them In Brooklyn a mil
lion and one-halt of bondu offend reach 1
no bids , and In eleven other cities of the
state similar offers met ultli the same fate
Among the otner communities whose bonds
could not be bold were eight In New Jersey ,
tuo In Connecticut , two in Massachusetts ,
tun In New Hampshire , nine In Ohio , six In
Michigan , four In Minnesota , six In Califor
nia , and two In Illinois Thin la this way

111 Mr. Ilran's ( list speech In congiess
delivered on Match 1C , 1892 , he drew
picture' of the condition of the wester
farmer quite as dismal as an > that he I
producing now for campaign effect Ho 1
not using any deeper Indigo In his presen
professional tour than that with which h
painted the distress of the oppiessed an
mortgaged agriculturist then. But the
for the distress , the oppression and th
mortgage ho had only one simple , compte
henslve explanation' The western fannc
vvas the victim of the protcctlvo tariff
Not ono word do we find In Mr Bryan' :
original plea for "Justice" to the w ester
farmer of thu gold stand ird or the 100
cent dollar as the cause of all the woo Pro
tectlon was a good enough octopus for tha
occasion
Mr. Bean told the following stotv about ;
man-killing tree In Austiall.i and comparei
It to the protective tariff
There is In Australia what is known n
the cannllul tteu It glows not wiv hUl

bis boon driven by the foice of circum
stances upon that trpp .PK ! h.as bppn
crushed within its folds his romoanlons
have stood .irouml nnd shouted , ' Orp.it is
piotpctlon ! "
Then this glib debutant from Nebrn-ska
proceeded to show b > statistics that In Kan
sas betv.een 1SSO and 1890 the percentage of
farmeis merel ) renting their fauns insipid
of owning them had Increased fiom n 13
to " ! J 25 , while more than Gl per cent of the
farms weio mortgaged , that in Ohio the
propmtlon of renters had Increased In the
ten jears from 2100 to 3710 per cent ; In
Virginia from 15 20 to 20 20 per cent and
so on , all on account of protection "Your
system , " he shouted to the protectionists ,
amid the applause of the free traders , "has
driven the farm owner from his land and
substituted the farm tenant. "
Not one word about the gold standard or
the 100-cent dollrr as an agent of oppiosslon
and suffering Protection was the devil
for that emeigency.
How four jeara and a nomination for the
presidency have changed Mr. Brjau's ideas
of the source ot all evil' Now ills cannlbil
reo Is the one-hiindred-cent-dollni , the hon
est dollar , worth Its face value In purchas-
ng power. It Is the gold stamlaid that Is
ruining the agriculturist The same rhe-
orlc , the same illustrations , the same fig-
uics of speech , the sdinc niouthlngs of

pecch of his , "which will bo continued as
eng as there Is anything to remedy" arc
low made to do service In proving that the

Sloiiic City Tribune ( dem )
A pamphlet has been Issued by George R
loberts which deals with the silver question
n iclatlon to the Iowa farmer The claim
f the sllverltcs Is that gold has appreciated
o such an extent that faim crops do
ot pay much over thu cost of production.
5o far as the farmers are concerned the
vholo case of the .sllverltcs rests upon this
no proposition Mr. Hobprts has collected
latlstlrs covering a period from 18C1 to
892 which show that almost every product
f the farm was worth In gold more In 1892
ian In 18IH. These market reports are com-
lied mostly from tlm columns of the
mbuque Herald , the tiles of which are kept
n the state historical department at DPS

also consulted In order to verify the Herald's
figures Thu tables given can be considered
