the friends of the several candidates
will make no mistake in laboring
unceasingly from now until the clos

but friendly rivalry the ticket has
been nominated, and with the fair

age of silver agitator right down
to something tangible and he will
reluctantly admit that he is in favor
of full fiat money. These consti
tute the bone and sinew of this agi
tation, and they are the old green
backers, who are thus endeavoring
to obtain this much as a concer5sion
toward their pet idea. The doughty
Jim Weaver admits that the free
coiuage of silver is but a stepping
stone toward full, irredeemable fiat
money. Can any honest money re
publican or democrat fail to see
the cloven foot of this scheme of
repudiation, though called by
another name?
Should it be possible to elect a
free coinage congress and president,
it would probably be a year at least,
from this date, ere a law covering
the subject could be enacted and go
into effect. In the mean time every
creditor in the country would put
his debtors upon the rack, and enr
force collections in a manner which
would put Shakespere's great char
acter to shame. It is well known
that often times the largest manu
facturers are the heaviest borrowers
and the stoppage of their factories
would ensue. This would throw
countless thousands more into the
vast army of unemployed. The
merchant would mark up his goods,
the capitalist increase his interest
rates to the new condition of affairs,
and the very last to feel the effects
of such inflation would be the wages
of the laboring man; as with the
disorganized state of labor unions
since the great strike- of 1894 there
is no organization sufficiently
strong to protect its members from
the encroachments of the unem
ployed wage-earner. Working men
should hesitate before

WHAT "WOULD THE HARVEST BE!
In the event of the democrats
putting in the field a free silver
candidate for the presidency, which
in all human probability they will
do, or if the free silverites should
unite on one standard bearer, and
succeed in carrying the country
this fall, with a congress favorable
to free silver legislation, it is but
natural to inquire what the result
would be, and how such a condition
would affect the prosperity of the
country. What bearingwould such
an unlooked . for result have on
our credit and confidence, which has
already been weakened by the
constant agitation which has been
kept up by the advocates of fiat
money? The first difficulty against
which the country, would have to
contend would be the withdrawal
of about $600,000,000 of gol3, and
this being done, there would be
much less money in circulation
than now.for this enormous amount
would disappear almost in the
twinkling of an eye, and the mints
would have to run for years to give
us as much money per capita as
there now is in the country. Those
who are deluded with the idea that
the circulation would double would
have their hopes blasted, the coun
trv would suffer for a lack of money
and those who favor such foolish
ness would have the satisfaction of
knowing that their short sighted
ness but intensified the difficulty
from which thev are striving1 to
escape. There is, however, an
other view of this supposed situa
tion which comes nearer home to
the people, and which would be
more generally felt than the with
drawal of the gold from the circula
tion. Reference is made to the
"sweating" process which would
immediately follow the election of
men favorable to the passage of a
A.
free coinage law. The moment' it
became known that the silver party
had been victorious.every one would
make a grand rush to adjust his
business to the new conditions; and
every man who owed a dollar would
be squeezed when he could least
stand it, and such sorrow and dis
aster would follow as this country,
or any other, never experienced
This condition would not only be
local, but jreneral, and interna
tional, till the whole country would
stand aghast at the awful bank

thoughtless action of the people,

Dbb of tho Greatest "Women of America
Sitter of Henry Ward Beecher Die at
Her Home In Hartford Sarronnded by
II er Relatives.
Hartford, July 2. At noon yester
day Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, the
famous authoress, passed away at her
residence in this city. At hor bedside
were three members of the family, Mrs.
Isabelle Beecher Hooker, her husband,
Dr. Hooker, and Harriet Stowe, a
flaughter of the authoress. Throughout
the forenoon the friends of Mrs. Stowe
gathered in the room, waiting for the
end. Death came without a strugglo
and the end merely appeared to be a
final continuance of the unconscious

Monday. The arrangements for the
funeral have been but partially com-

pleted. The services in Hartford will
be private and interment will take place
in Andover, Mass.
Something over 100 years ago the vil
lage blacksmith, Beecher, was the
strongest man in Litchfield, Conn. He
left a son, Lyman Beecher, destined to
be an intellectual athlete, to encounter
on the arena of debate every form of
controversy. One of the many chil
dren of this remarkable son of the black
smith, Harriett by name, was born at
Litchfield June 14, 1812.
The mother of Harrie t Beecher was
the first wife of the Rev, Lyman
Beecher, Roxana Foote, and Harriett
was the seventh child, the eldest being
at the time but 11 years old, and another
was to follow to be known in this world
of triumph and trial as Henry Ward
Beecher.
Mrs. Stowe's literary labors began
when she was but 12 years old, and her
first article was a composition under the
somewhat imposing title, "Can the Im
mortality of the Sonl Be Proved From
Its Light of Nature?" Her father, grati.
fiedand pleased, encouraged herli'erary
aspirations. She was given every ad
vantage of an education, and became
well known in literary circles at an
early age.
In January, 1836, she married Rev.
Calvin Ellis Stowe, and took up her residence,-at
Cincinnati. From that city
she made frequent visits to the slave
states of the south, and thus acquired
'"eo-
