They have shown ' ' that the cause Bryan is advocat-|',n ing is near and dear to them, and that they honor a man who will bravely fight for it against the ' | ( great odds of defeat and the mo. - " 1? 1 neyed powers of the earth.

We sometimes hear men who sire relief from falling prices, lunation and hard times, say ev are opposed to "Bryanism." f lose men must he either ignont of what Mr. Bryan ad votes. or they do not mean what ev say.Mr. Bryan made the most illianl canvass ever made in inerica in advocating the j?rir 1 iles of the Chicago platform. i?> Republicans and gold men | nounced the platform as Papistic and anarchistic because it irmed most ot' the principles I _ ntended for by the Populists'1 d other independent organi 1 ' lions seeking relief I rem tho'p lolerable evils of I lie gold st and 1.

It signifies he will of the sovereign power of ho government authorizing the L tamp or superscription which p ppears on the gold, silver, or pa- a er. and also designates the mini-1 e ier of units or parts of units of'v ccount which the particular liece of gold or silver represents, j ? Did any country ever use any a old or silver in war where the j o xistence of the nation was in- t olved? We know of but one t uatanee where such was the case, f jormanv in the Franco-I'russian ' par continued to use silver sup- t demented by paper and did not ;t uspeml specie payment during he war. i 1 WaS PolH PVflr imoit no ? ^ lium of exchange during any ;reat war of the great commerc- c al nations of Europe? It never 1 ras. Every great nation Iiuh 1 teen compelled, with the single 1 xception of Germany, in the 1 'ranco-I'russian war which used * ilver, to suspend specie payment' * nd use paper to designate the rill of the sovereign power of the , s lation. If nations in great emergen-j ' ies, such as war, are compelled ,' o stamp the liat of the govern-P nent on paper to prevent dissolu- i 1 ion and destruction, why may j tot that lie done in time of peace t o rescue the country from uni- f erwal distress?

I Is it true that the gold combi- f >ination has a rumor on the gold i ?f the world? It is most em- ] )haticallv true. That eombiro. ion has induced the monarchies j if Kurope to purchase more than , ia)f the nold of the world and > told it in reserve for military | ?urposes.

I IIow much gold have the peo)lo of the civili/.ed world agreed o deliver, that is to say, what is he amont of their gold obligaionsi? This questson cannot be tccurately answered. The amount s variously estimated from one lundred to one hundred and ifty thousand millions. flow can the people obtain told to deliver to their creditors, u other words,to pay their debts?

How long has the 1'nited States j ?een sending delegates to Euro* tean monetary conferences to ?k permission to legislate in this' ountrv? More than twenty I ears Do the people of the 1'nited 'dates think it a wise thing to! ,llow European jurisdiction over tir domestic affairs? Some of' hem do. The banks, the goldnig politicians, and gold-bug >ress have preached loyalty to lurope and our dependence on he smiles of monarchy so long hat they have converted the veak and vain and caused them o look to Europe and not this :ountry for law and government. What excuse do the advocates if foreign aid in our legislation nake for departing from the' isages of the early days of the1 epublic? They have several ex..e -k 4U_4 _ii Iiaou. WHO til lilt-Ill lit lllltl nil he world must have the name cind of money. Did all the world ever have the inme kind of money before? Sever but once. In 1 SG'l France, i taly, Switzerland, Helium and ireece agreed to have the name cind of money and formed a anion called the Latin luion. Is it true that international rad< Iih^ been carried on during ill the centuries without the name cind of money? It certainly in. Is it the policy of the govern-' nent t<i export it.- money? No; he export of money is an unmix?d calamity. It produces conraction and financial ruins at' lonie. Why do the goldites say that ,ve want money that is good in j !?nroj e Iiccausi: they want the L'nited States to make all its 'noiiey out of the commodity gold m which Kurope holds .1 corner. Is our pojd money pood money ' n Kurope? No, it is not money tt all any more than our wheat s money in Kurope. It is aimply a very dear commodity which Kurope has cornered to make us -ell our commodities for less than :h? cost of production to obtain ' # I. Could cultivation exist if the government should put its sovereign stamp upon anything boliden gold and make it full legal tender? Yes, the governments tho world have existed for thousands of years and they never were conlined to the use of gold ilone until the dealers in money uul bonds conspired to deprive the civilized world of the right to use silver as well as gold.

This, therefore, does not indicate an intention on the part of Turkey to evacuate Thessaly, but is merely a measure of economy. The Pension Iluhgleis. It is very doubtful whether the pension money will he distributed on the 1st of August, as was intended. The fault does not lie in the Comptroller Cleneral's office but in getting the county boards to follow the letter of the law. Several of the rolls have had to be returned because they were not made out according to townships as required by law. In such cases, where the rolls are not made out by townships, the papers have been returned, and as soon as they are returned properly made out the money } will be di>t rihuted.
