w r b 1 h m ;a ALLISON IIEAJRD. Tlio Iowa Londor Talks to Thou sands at Dos Moinos. Expresses Ills Siitlufnctloii with tho (Sltimtloti from 11 Tiirty Stuntl- liolnt-Kxpliilns tlio Necessity of IIuniiHt JMoiicy. The Iowa republican oiunpnlgn was opened tit J)es Moines, Tltursduy. Sep tember 1 by Senator Allison, who spolto principally on the subject of the cur rency. The following contains the gist ci his speech: "Tho Importance of the Insttcs of tho hour I need not measure; the Interest you take In them Is shown on every hand. There uro other Questions of Importance, bu. tho moat pressing Is tho money question. Tho republican party believes that upon this question we have reached a crisis In our national life; that there Is not a single man, woman or child In the vast country but will be directly affected by tho votes cast next November for Mr. Bryan or for MaJ. Mc Klnlcy. "Having delegated to congress the power to coin money and regulate Its aluo ami to fix the value at which foreign coins may bo received, it Is the duty of congress to glvo to the people good money." Jlm-imcm Subject of Coiimgc. The speaker then took up tit sub' jeet of coinage, ghing a history of its growth nn.l the ratio of equivalence ho twoen gold and silver from 1793 to 1S7-1, showing the changes in the ratio and tlie countries which have used gsld and silver since 1S0I1. lie referred to the coin ngc acts of the United Slates and for eign countries between ISOOiind IST'i and stated that during most of 'that period most of the countries of Europe were using both gold and silver and that for thnt reason and on account of limited production of silver France was able for ninny years to maintain the wlativp values of gold and silver at the ratio of. fifteen and n hnlf to one. "This It did because of tho resistance of nil the other countries of Europe except Great Tlrltuln. The act of Germany In 3S71. followed quickly by France, the Latin union states, Holland and the Scandi navian states, was responsible for the beginning of tho diminishing value of silver as compared with gold rather than tho action of tho United States In 1S73. "Tho production of the precious metals of the world shows that there Is not a diminu tion of the metallic money of the world, but that from 1S73 up to the present time there has been a largo Increase In Its volume. Hence the fall of prices must bo attributed to other causes than to a diminution of the metallic money. The fall In silver as com pared with gold was not caused by a diminution In Its use, but by the wide separation as to tho uses of silver by the commercial nations of tho world. , Could Not KiHtoro Value. "This divergence began In 1873 and con tinues to the present time. The United States, with a foreign commerce only about one-seventh of that of the total gold-using countries of the world, would llnd It impos sible under these circumstances to attempt alone to restore In any degree tho relative vnluo of silver. "The popocrats charge that by reason of tho 'crime against silver' tho prices of farm products have declined. Statistics compiled by L. G. Powers, of Minnesota, show the price of tho staple farm products In ten of tho chief agricultural states, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota and tho two Da kotas. These states inlse about seven thirteenths of all tho corn In the averago States. Statistics show that tho averago prices per bushel for. corn at tho place whero grown In these ten state wore: lb4 to 1SS0, 30.U cents per bushel. ISid to lfs87. 3a.:.' ccntB lur bushel. 1SS3 to lb04, 82.2 cents per bushel. "Tho statistician also took two central Btates of tho group, Iowa and Illinois, showing that tho average price of corn per bushel In these states wns in 1874 to ISSQ, 21.7 cents; 1SS1 to 18S7, 31.3 cents; 1SSS to ISO I, 2S.S cents. "Tho same was truo of other products, Allowing that in 1S92 prices weie relatively as high as from 1S73 to 1SS0. "Tho statistics gathered by Georgo V. Roberts, of Iowa, In regard to the average local price of farm products In thl3 stato show practically the same results. filvcn Telling I'lgnrcn. "Tho popocrats compare tho prico paid for wheat In London and St. Paul pi lor to 1S73 with that In 1RH2, and charge tho fall in prices to tho silver legislation, when It ap pears, upon investigation, that there Is an other question that should be considered the cost of transportation. In 1S73 It cost $1.10 to transpoi t a bushel of wheat from St. Paul to London, while In 1SK2 It coBt only 38 cents. The popocrats say that tho fam ine price Ib owing to tho domination of me tallic money." Given PonorrittH tho -I.lo. "The popocrats say," said Mr. Allison, "a Croat crime was committed in 1S73, and therefore the period from then until 1893 was 20 years of destitution, 20 years of btagnatlon. The census shows that tho wealth of the United States Increased from J30,OOU,000,000 In 1S70 to $13,000,000,000 111 1SS0 and fG5,000,000,000 In ISI'0. Tho wealth of Iowa Increased from J731.000.000 In 1S70 to J1.721 ,000,000 In 18S0 and J2.2S7.000.000 In lS'JO. The per capita wealth or tho United States and of tho ten middle western states and of Iowa was in tho year Indicated as fol lows: 1S70. United States J7M) Ten States 735 Iowa 001 1SS0. 1S90. J 870 11.030 932 1,239 1,059 1.190 "Tell mo that this wealth was accumu lated in yeais of distress and stagnation? The people have been Impoverished, says Uryan. Let us e. Uhe lupoiiasnuw mm In 1873 the average per capua consumption of cotton was ?iu.j, in Itrl it was ?:m. In 3873 tho per capita consumption of wheat was 4.81 bushel; In 1892 It was i.'Jl bushels.

"People certainly do not eat more In times of distress than In times of prosper ity. But they tell us the farmer will bo benefited by the free coinage of silver. He will be Just this much by tho piomlum on silver when his wheat is sold In tho gold standard countries of Kurope, but there will be so much fluctuation In tills premium clay by day that an element of Inconstancy will bo Introduced, lo tho derangement of business. , ..... "What has been the cause of tho trouble, slnco 1892? In the first place our Industries were threatened by the platform of tho democratic party In that year, and then there aroso a cloud on accoir.it of the law by which wo were purchasing 4.S0O.OC0 ounces of silver t month. ... "This was partly dissipated by the repeal of the purchasing elnuse. but the trouble to focuro this repeal gave warning that a party was springing up that would strive to force a debased currency upon us, and the Phlengo convention has now lovenled the full rurpnso of (bet party "The eiirefor theso Ills Is thonialntcnancc of a stable in:iiire of values, the restora tion of confidence, the restoration of tho nation's credit. th protection of American ltitllutlo,. nnl tho pinlntornnoo of nuir kets for tho product of Al?'"',',nr. labor."

Tho Indian score of the past few days, which has caused a great many of the settlers west of hero to leavo their homes and go to the towns for protection, was caused by tho sulky actions nnd ugly talk of the Cheyennes, who tiro In censed at the government order that In the future all beeves to bo doled out to them by rations shall bo butchered by tho agency butcher, instead of be ing turned over to them alive, to be run down and eaten while yet hot and bleeding.

IT WAS A FAILURE. Irish National Com cut Ion Accomplished Nothing In Promoting Unity. London, Sept. 7. The recent Irish national convention at Dublin awoke only the faintest interest in England, and it must bo admitted by nn Im partial oLscrver that, as a means of promoting unity in tho Irish parlia mentary pnrty, it was the biggest fail ure on record and only serves to widen the breaches existing among tho vari ous factions.

Tho Itomnrknblo Testimony of n Hus band and Wlfo to tho Virtues of Dr. Williams IMnlc I'lll for 1'ulo l'eople. From tht IFutv, Oddt, Xtbratka. A reporter of tho Wuvo lmvlug heard of tho great faith Mr. and Sirs. 1. O. Brace, of Odoll, Nebraska, havo in the curative prop erties of Dr. Williams' Fink Pills for Palo People dotorinlticd to see the pnrtlcs in poi'dou and ascertain tho truth of the re ports. With that purposo in view a drlvo was taltcn to their Hue farm a few miles west of town, where Airs. Braco was found busily engaged In assisting her husband make wire l'ouco. No doubt noticing our surprise sUo apologized saying "that tho children woro old enough to bo of much help with tho housework and sho thus had time to as sist her husband which not only gave bor plcasuro but at tho satno thno saved tho wages that would othcrwlso go to pay hired help." "But is It posslblo that you have recovered so as to do work requiring the constant uso of your arms, without suiTcriugl" asked tho reporter. This question elicited tho following won derful story: "I do not wonder that you aro surprised, said Mrs. Brace, for as every ouo in tills vicinity knows for several years I was nearly crippled and Buffered con stautly from rheumatism. When 1 first felt tho attack I got medicine from a local physi cian but Instead of gottlng better 1 grow worso until 1 suffered intcuso agony, which no ouo who has not hud the dread disease can understand. la hopes of lellcf leading physicians hi other towns were consulted, and they all agreed iu pronouncing It a suvoro enso of muscular rheumatism and us their prescriptions were taken mouth after mouth without beneficial resu.ts they ceased to give encouragement mid said that 1 was gradually bocomlng paralyzed. "I had by that unto becomo so crippled that 1 had to glvo up all work and the only way I could carry my right arm was in an upright position. Any attempt to lower It caused excruciating pain. Constant suffer ing caused general debility mid life seemed too great u burden to bear. It is said a drowning man will catch a straw and so it was in my case as I read a testimonial iu a uowspapor I happoaed to pick up, of a caso similar to mine which had been cured by Fink Fills JCor Pa'o Feoplo and I determined to give tiiem a trM. "I admit my faith was weak for I had al ways been prejudiced against so called pateut medicines but by the time I had taken three boxes tho relief was so apparent that 1 dctcrmlued to continue their use. In a few weeks my general health improved and I could niovo my arm without difficulty and bv the time ten boxes had been used i loit better than I had for years and 1 can now say with conlldouco that I am cured. I al ways keep tho pills iu tho house and take a box of thoni every spring as a blood puri fier and at any time that 1 tako cold and fear a return of my old trouble.'1 Continuing, Mrs. Braco snlil, "I glvo all the credit ot my recovery to Dr. Williams' Fink Fills lor Palo People and both my hus band and I shall always bo ready to speak in their praise. Wo. tell our neighbors on every occasion of their virtues and if you think this or siitllclout interest wo will be glad to havo this testimonial made public hoping that it may bo of benefit to thoso who otherwise would bo life long suffer ers." To confirm her story beyond all doubt Mrs. 13 rim j mado tho lollowuig affidavit: Statu ot Nuiiuasica, ( Coi'xty or (J.uii:. Mrs. I. O.
