But value is as thoroughly the result of the the temper displayed by the free silver democrats indicate a far different course of action. This is nothing more or less than a bolt of almost a half of the democratic convention, Bland and Bryan and a hostof chivalrous Southrons dramatic ally shaking the gold dust of the Col- relation of supply to demand as is that of wheat or corn. Where the doliar rises in value, what the doliar can buy that is everything else, must be falling. This also must be clear. So then we have the first conclusion that a decreasing money volume means falling prices. But when prices are falling business iseum from their feet and segregating fails, investments cease, and industry iB together with Teller and and his crowd checked. This must also be clear.

We are t dking about an American, metropolitan, daily paper of the first class like THE CHICAGO RECORD. It's sn cheap and so good you cant afford in this day of progress to be without it. There are other papers possibly as good, but none better, and none just like it.

It is an independent paper and gives all political news free from the taint of party oias.
