The fact that tbe ellvcr mining interests
of Colorado have raised JSOO.OCO to aid the
Bryan campaign fund Is highly slgnficant.
Single firms or Individuals contribute as
high ai JSO.tJOO apiece. A Urge number of
contributions range from $5,000 to $30.000.

part of the country as for Instance the
cotton or woolen or Iron mills should raise
a campaign fund ot this magnitude for Me-

pose of procuring legislation to enhance tbe
price of their product. It Is all fight tn the

In fact , the Brjan managers ar * not satis

who make a Pharisaical pretense of being

PENSIONS NOT HONEST DEBTS.
( Bryan's Personal Organ. Omaha World-Herald , November IS , 1S92. )
The nest session of congress will have to wrestle with one deficiency of
? 3 ( > .OA > ,000. TliN Is ou account of p n < Ion < . The appropriation for pensions
for the next year must not be less than Sl.'iO.OOO.OOO. It l , therefore. ea y
arithmetic to perceive that the appropriation that congress must make for
pensions next session must aggregate not less than ? 1SO.OOO,000. This tre
mendous sum would In itself be enough to run a reasonable government.
ONE WOULD NOT COMPLAIN IF IT WEUE AN HONEST DEBT , but
large proportion Is not a debt , because IT WAS NEVEU EAUNED BY ANY
ACT OF PATRIOTISM OR HEROIC SERVICE. The government is held up
and despoiled of no mean portion of this , and it seems helple- to defend Itself.

ONLY GREEDY MINE OWNERS WANT 16 TO 1
WHAT TO DO.
( Bryan's Personal Organ. Omaha World-Herald , July 31,1S93. )
Plrst Repeal the silver purchasing clause of the Sherman act , for the reason
that Its effect has been to put Into circulation silver currency of such a de
based value as to shake the confidence of timid investors and to force out
of circulation much money ordinarily used to transact the business of the
country , thus producing , stringency and alarm.
Second Provide for the free and unlimited coinage of silver on such a stand
ard as will put about 100 cents of sliver In each silver dollar , taking th
average value for the last twelve months.
The World-Herald believes that the two propositions contained In the above
paragraphs appeal to the bound judgment of the Intelligent people In Ne
braska.
With regard to the first tLre ought to be by this time no question. Whether
or not timid investors were justified in becoming alarmed at the prospect of a
depreciated currency makes no difference. They may have been'foollbh. but
even then their fears have had an effect on the whole business world and pro
duced vast trouble. Remove the cause of their fears and restore confidence.
The second is PRACTICAL , HONEST AND SAFE BIMETALLISM ON
THE RATIO OF 1 TO 25. It would reopen all the silver mines of the west
and be equivalent to affording a permanent market for silver at about S ! cents
per ounce. Investors would know that a .sliver dollar contained as much real
value us a gold dollar , and it would , therefore , pass as readily lu foreign bu-1-
uess as gold. Confidence tvould be restored. The gradual Increase In the
supply of bllver currency worth par would proceed. The silver Interests would
be Mable and reasonably prosperous.
NO PEOPLE , EXCEPT THE GREEDY
OWNERS OF SILVER MINES , anx
ious to make INORDINATE PROFITS. ARE INTERESTED IN coinage at
THE RATIO OF 1 TO 10.
No people , except those avaricious owners of money , who profit by contract
ing the currency , are Interested In
prohibiting honest free silver coinage at
the ratio of 1 to 23.
We have NO SILVER MINES IN NEBRASKA and THE INTERESTS OF
THE PEOPLE OF THIS STATE
' SIMPLY REQUIRE free and unlimited
COINAGE OF SILVER UPON'THE BASIS OF ITS REASONABLE VALUE ,
which cannot be far from 1 part of gold to 25 of silver.
PUTTING AS EXORBITANT VALUE ON SILVER
A BATTLE OF THE STANDARDS ,
( Bryan's Personal Organ Omaha World-Herald. August 7 , 1S31. )
The coming i ue is uot whether silver shall be coined as money with
but at what ratio shall silver and gold be coined in the United States.
A majority of cotiRreM and a majority of the people unquestionably favor
the free coinage of both metals. The principle of bimetallism is triumphant
in this country. The goidbugs are far In the minority.
Hut when "SILVER GRUBS" undertake to compel the United States to
grant free coinage on the ratio of 1 to 10 they PERVERT THE PRINCIPLE
OP BIMETALLISM TO THEIR OWN SELFISH ENDS. They are attempt-
lug to make the people accept silver at 50 per cent more th.in It is worth.
They take advantage of a great principle and ENDEAVOR to have It t > o
applied as to ENRICH THEMSELVES AT THE EXPENSE OF THE HEST
OP THE PEOPLE.
There is NO VIRTUE IN BIMETALLISM AT 1 TO 1C which does not also
ihjlong to blmetallNm ujion the Mandnrd of the market values of the two
metals. That Ito say , the free and unlimited coinage of 100-cent silver dollars
ha > , every advantage that the free coluage of 05-cent bilver dollars has , with
out any of the dangers. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE SIL
VER MINE OWNERS DO NOT GET AN ENORMOUS PREMIUM FOR
THEIR PRODUCT.
The silver champions like to arrogate to themselves the sole champion
ship of bimetallism. They have no legitimate monopoly of the principle , how
ever. The real 1-siie Is not for and against blmetalllbin nor for and against
silver. It Is a quei-tlon of values. SHALL OUR SILVER COINAGE BE
BASED UPON THE EXPERIENCE OF THE WORLD as received In the
markets of the world OR SHALL WE UNDERTAKE TO PUT A FIC
TITIOUS AND EXORBITANT VALLE ON SILVER simply because It for-
mcily had that value ?
DISHONEST RATIO OF 16 TO 1.
CONFUSING TWO DISTINCT IDEAS.
( Omaha World-Herald , August 3 , 1S93. )
Er > m' I'crxioal Organ. t I
The silver asltators who lusUt on free coinage upou THE DISHONEST
RATIO OP 1 TO 10 and refuse to accept it upon the honest ratio of 1 ( o 25 are
very anxious to delude the public into the belief that the demand for more cur
rency and tbe demand for coinage upon the ratio of 1 to 1C are identical.
They brand as goldbugs all who decline to advocate M-cent silver dollars.
In truth , however , THE ONLY HONEST IMMETALLIST IS HE WHO
UELIKVKS IN THE FREE COINAGE OF GOLD AND SILVER , EACH
TAKEN AT ITS MARKET VALUE , and bo coined that 100 cents worth of
gold shall be In thb gold dollar and 100 cents worth of silver shall bo In the silver
dollar.
The blmctafllst who advocates free coinage of gold and sliver on a ratio
of 1 to 25 U an much a believer In an lncrea. o In the circulating medium ns
the man wbo demands coinage on the ratio of 1 to 10.
The sllverltes In Chicago need not arrogate to them elres the champion-
fihlp of an increased currency. That is not their real purpose , nor Is U he
real effect of their agitation. They are only the champions of sliver.
HOW THE UNITED STATES WOULD LOOK TIED TO MEXICO
AN TJNHOLY ALLIANCE.
( Bryan's Pcronal Organ. Omaha World-Herald. August S , 1S93. )
A dispatch frotn the City of Mexico s-nys : "There Is a project on fool
here to unite all Latin-American nations In a monetary league to resNt the de
preciation of silver. It N asserted thru while silver has declined In obedience
to natural laws , yet the fall Is out of nil proportion to what It should be , and
debtor nations should unite In order to defend their Interests against con
spiracy. 1'ubllc opinion here would favor entering Into a monetary league
with the United State * , transferring the trade of Latin America largely lo
Americans , only asking ou the part of. the United States n freer entrance of
raw materials. "
Ju t who discovered that the fall of silver was "out of proportion to what
It should be , " or by what meatH he dicovered It , or how he came to atluilt
that there should be any fall at alt , Is not told. TOK A. SIL-VKUITK TO

alliance for the rehabilitation of silver WITH MEXICO , WHOSE CREDIT
HAS BEEN ItUINED BY THE FUEE COINAGE OF THAT METAL.
LIMITS EVEN TO .THE POWER OF CONGRESS
THE LIARKET VALUE OF SILVER.
( Bryan's Personal Organ , Omaha World-Herald , August S. 1S33. )
The Omaha World-Herald wants "sate bimetallism at the ratio of 1 to IS. " Noth-
las is safe unless it has stability , and jou can't have stability- with two money stand
ards , one of which Is continually bobbing up and down , like a cork on a choppy sea.
Minneapolis Journal.
There is no rea'-on to believe that the market value of > llver would fluctu
ate If once Used by FREE COINAGE UPON A REASONABLE BASIS. As
a mere commodity silver will fluctuate more or less. Gold itself would
fluctuate If reduced to the rank of a mere commodity.
Mere fluctuations In market values of either gold or silver are abolished
by free coinage , which affords an unlimited demand for the twd metals at
an unvarying price. Nothing but stup'-ndtiotis new discoveries or a revolu
tion In mining could affect silver valtipIf free coinage were once estab-
IMied. PROVIDED THE LAW ESTABLISHING FREE COINAGE PLACED
IT UPON THE SOUND BASIS OF MARKET VALUE.
The IIIHU wlitf refuses to give silver a chance Is as unreasonable as the
man who insists on worshlpplug n silver Idol.
GOVERNMENT MAY NOT BE ABLE BY LAW TO MAKE THE BUSI
NESS WORLD ACCEPT 00 CENTS WORTH OF SILVER AS THE EQUAL
OF 100 CENTS WORTH OF GOLD , BUT GOVERNMENT IS ABLE TO
LEGALIZE AN AVERAGE VALUE of silver , which experience has
shown to be fair and WHICH THE MARKETS HAVE RECORDED. t
16 TO i FALLACY A THING OF THE PAST
MODERATING EXTREME VIEWS.
( Bryan's Personal Organ , Omaha World-Herald. August 11 , 1S33. )
It must be conceded that the situation at Washington is avumInR a grati
fying condition. Many of the free bilver men who went to Washington ,
wedded to THE SIXTKEN TO ONE FALLACY have indicated a disposition j
to yield their extreme views. Many of the e men po M > far a * to say that a
20 to 1 ratio will lie acceptable , and by resolution the caucus declared for " uch
a ratio" as would maintain the parity between sold and silver.
Certainly the president's clear and earnest nu . - > .ipe had much to do with
the result. Rut whatever may have been the cause of the pronounced change
In radical views , the effect ! gratifying to the entire countiyPHACTICALLY
THE SIXTEEN TO ONE FALLACY IS A THING OF THE PAST , and now
that the once radical bllvcr men are entering ui > on the high road to conserv
atism , we may hope that their patriotism and the appreciation of the necessi
ties of their countrymen will prompt them to entirely abandon the uncer
tainty for the certainty.
It Is one thing to preach 1C to 1 In the fever of enthusiasm inspired by a
monster political gathering , but it la QUITE ANOTHER THING TO DE
LIBERATELY DEFEND SUCH A FALLACY In the cougrt-ss of the United
State * .
The free silver jnen are to be congratulated that their eyes are beginning
to open , and when the end of our present trials shall come , let us hqpe that
those eyes will be in a condition to enjoy tne benefits of a rejuvenated country ,
made possible by patriotic and businesslike legislation.

"In tbe good old dajs when a man could
go to tbe United States patent office in the
morning with his model and go borne with
his patent In bis grip In the afternoon , "
said G. W. Sues of this city , "it used to
be that an inventor could get a patent on
an ) thing from a bole in a pine board to a
walking machine , and in this connection
it will be remembered teat In the middle
CD's , a certain inventor maae a fortune in
exhibiting an automaton in the shape of
a man stilrod tn regular apparel and wear
ing a metallic plug hat from which smoke
was emitted , while a jet of exhaust steam
Issued from his lips. However , though
542,007 patents hate been issued since
January 1. I860 , I doubt if any patent ever
came so near exemplifying the truth of
that old saying , which was not altogether
uncalled for , as does the patent Issued to
C. S. Hirst of Philadelphia , September. 23 ,
last , for this inventor practically gets a
patent for a hole an3 a wooden plug.
"It is well known that for > ears the
owners of oyster beds have been offering
Inducements to inventors , to contrive means
or methods wtereljy ojstera could be
shipped long distances without losing their
freshness or flavor. ' Though many have
tried for jears , the problem has only just
been solved by Inventor Hirst , according to
whoso patented method the oysters , as soon
as they are taken from the beds , are
provided with a small bole , which Is drilled
through both shells at a point Immediately
opposite to the hinge , A snug-fitting
wooden plug 1s then promptly driven Into
tbe openings , which- plug , as soon as the
liquor within the orscer ; comes In contact
therewith , swells and impinges Itself within
the openings so that ike oysters are prac
tically locked and' uiormetlcally sealed
within their own shells and preserved In
their own liquor and so In the storage box
can be shipped for thousands of miles
without Impartng their freshness or flavor.
The holes are. drilled so that tbe iflesh of

can only be parted after the plug has been
