Therefore, the supply, when that point 1s reached, will become much restricted, and prices conse- quently will regain something like a normal level.’ . The above assertion of the British Consul that ‘the price of silver is governed by the law of supply and demand’’ is of course correct and is the great point that students of the financial question should first grasp.

At that price the silver in the dollar would be worth a small fraction less than 31 cents. In any case silverism as an issue in practi- cal politics is dead. oo Better Times in Dayiess County.

I went to work at my trade at $15 a day and bought my own chuck, all the same as army rations, which gost me 84 a day. Finally I got the mining fever and went to Klondike. Say, colonel, my army marches were a luxury compared with that trip over the mountains, sleeping standing up to your knees in water. I saw poor fellows, footsore and hungry, with almost despair written on their faces, which reminded, me of our army life, but thought of the futare if success ful had a tendency to brace then up. I helped bury five or six who became downhearted with hardships and gave up. You remember our march from Pilot Knob to Helena, when we were out of rations for fifteen days and had to sleep in swamps with snakes and swamp flies pecking at you, It was nothing compared with the lulu birds you encounter. here.

BRYAN TO VISIT MEXICO. Will Try to Show That Mexicans Are More Prosperous Than Americans. Topeka, Kan,, Aug. 11,—At the headquarters of the allied silver forces of Kansas a request has just heen received from Hou, W. J. Bryan for copies of all the documents and statistical tables relating to the silver question in Mexico, and also for text books giving the necessary instruc- tions for acquiring a knowledge of the Spanish language. Mr. Bryan expects to visit the Repubhe of Mexico in Oatober, and is preparing an address on the money question, which he hopes to be able to deliver in the Spanish language. He is making a special study of the finan- ciai condition of the two countries, and will eadeavor to show that the Mexicans are more prosperous under the operation of free silver than the people of the United States are with the gold standard, He says the facts regarding Mexico were not proper! presented in the last campaign, T special information he seeks 18 con- cerning the number of Americans who have established themselves in Mexico within the past two years, the amount of American capital seeking investment, and the general extension of trade there as a result of what he styles a wise financial policy.
