Why? , ' ‘ The advocates of free coinage are as- serting. with every appearance of per- fect confidence, that their cause is ab— solutely certain of a complete triumph; that their Presidential candidate is sure to be elected, and that his administr- Cougress. With equal confidence—so at as may be judged [by surface; in- dications-Whey declare that their vic- tory will raise the price of silver, at' home and abroad, “all over the world” to $1.29 per ounce in gold. This isMr'. Bryan’s claim, and his enthusiastic fol- lowers echo it with whatjjseems like undoubting faith. Now, it is not the custom in financial circles in these latter days, to wait be- fore action, for the full consummation of a thing that is surely going to be: Coming events cast their shadows be- fore. Speculation reachesL‘into the future and tackles ”its chances. The crop reports of every month infithe year afiect the markets. Wheat, cotton, corn, beef, hog ‘prOducts, anl all other agricultural staples go upjor down ac- cording to the varying prospects indi- cated by such reports. Silver is a commodity and subject to the same conditions in the market that afiect the output fothe farm. If, there"; fore, silver is sure "to be worth $1.29 per ounce next year, it ought to begin to rise new. money that can be had for a good thing ‘ at 6 per cent. a year; for ‘ a sure thing at a lower rate. Whv is not silver ad- vancing toward its destiny? .Why‘is it not closing the broad gapfibetween bul- lion and coinage valuations ? If it is going to be worth $129 when the as- sured victory is won, why is it not sell- ing for $1 or $1.10 now? Andlwhy has silver, instead of going up toward its golden goal, turned tail andlgone down from 69 cents per ounce to 661cents ? No educational campaign canibe needed to teach the speculative mind that there is profit in buying at 66 cents if, one is sure of selling a year hence at $1.29. There are speculative minds among the silver men. Why do they hold back ? Why don’t they buy silver ? 09—- Dead For Two Days. Michael Hc ft‘man, of 79 Hancock ave- nue, Bridgeport had an attack ‘of chills and fever and whisky was recommended as a cure. He went to a saloon and drank a pint of whisky without taking the-bottle from his lips. He called for more and the bartender handed him an- other bottle. He didn’t quite empty this one when he fell to the floor. The bartender became alarmed. Hcfl‘man was taken to his home and Dr. Clemens rwas called. For 48 hours Hofi'man lay as if dead and the doctor worked for hours at a time over him. Yesterday he rallied. He seemed to know those around him. He says he has been off on a trip and he is anxious to know how he got back. In the afternoon he was able to leave ,IJlS bed. The chills and fever don’t bother him now. The cure was a desperate one. . " Wheelmen’s Day at Danbury. Wheelmen’e day at the Danbury fair is Tuesday, October 6. ‘ There are both amateur and professional events.

A few years ago nearly. all newspapers published, at this season, recipes for summer complaints. Now such items are seldom met with. Publishers have learned that there is nothing quite as good as Chamber- lain’ s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea.
