In conclusion, Bryan said: “The
democratic party stands between two
conflicting forces. On the one side
stand the corporate interests of the
United States, the money interests im
perious, arrogant, compassionless. They
are able to subscribe magnificently to
campaign funds. They are able to
crush with their all-pervading influence
any who dare to oppose. They demand
the party shall become the agent to ex
ecute their merciless decrees.
“On the other side stands an unnum
bered throng, those who have given to
the old democratic party a name.
Worlt-worn and dust-begrimed they
make their mute appeal, and too often
find their cry for help beat in vain
against the outer walls, while others
less deserving gain access to legislative
halls. This army, vast and growing,
pleads with the party to be its cham
pion in this conflict. It cannot press
its claims amid sounds of revelry; it
cannot march its phalanxes in grand
parade. No gaudy banners float upon
the breeze. Its battle hymn is ‘Home,
Sweet Home,’ its war cry, ‘Equality
Before the Law. ’
“Between, the forces hesitating in
doubt to which side to turn, yet con
scious that upon its decision must rest
its fate., stands the democratic party,
and to it standing thus, come the words
of Israel’s second law giver, ‘Choose ye
this day whom ye will serve.’
“It is said that Napoleon ordered a
retreat at the battle of Marengo, but
the drummer boy replied he did not
know any retreat and begged he might
be allowed to beat a charge. A charge
was ordered, and Marengo was added to
the victories of the Man of Destiny. The
president was elected on the platform
thrice pledged to the gold and sil
ver coinage of the constitution. Ninc
tenths of the people are ready to sus
tain him in the light, but he has or
dered a retreat. Let him not be dis
mayed. There is time yet to win the
utitLic iie win out oruer u c mi rye. i
Will the party stand by the principles i
of Jefferson and JacUson, or will it I
abandon its right to its name? Will it !
choose life, or death—which? [Tre- |
mendous applause. ] I
At the conclusion of the speech there
were loud cries of “Vote,” and the Ne- j
braska orator was surrounded by his
colleagues congratulating him.
BANKKUPTED BY THE BANKER.
Wholesale Knavery of Robert Kincaid
of Pleasanton, Kan,
Pleasanton, Kan., Aug. 1®.—Fur
ther developments in the case of the
flight of ex-Banker, Merchant and
Merchant Itobert Kincaid of this
county on July 20 show that he has
bankrupted one-third of the people of
the county, besides getting away with
the county and school funds. When
Hood & Kincaid’s bank of this city
was closed only 5380 in cash was found
in the vaults. The liabilities are $150,
000. The night the bank failed $10,000
in notes were taken from the vaults, j
presumably by Kincaid.
In recent years his bank paid 6, 8
and 10 per cent interest on time de
posits, enough to break any bank.
Having the utmost confidence in him,
practically all the widows, orphans
and poor people in the county put
their affairs and savings into his
hands, all of which are swept away.
Soon after Hood & Kincaid’s bank
failed his general store here made an
assignment with liabilities of $50,000,
all of which, except one item, was in
the form of notes, due to widows,
school teachers and farmers. The one
exception is Selz, Schwab & Co. of
Chicago, who are his creditors for $765
WALKED 2.000 MILES.
A Boy, Left Penniless and Destitute,
Dies Before Beaching Relatives. |
Middletown, Conn., Aug. 18 —John
Treadwell, 12 years old, who started
last spring to walk from Nebraska to
Higgannm. Conn , ‘ 2,000 miles, ar
rived at Higgamim last night,
completely exhausted, • ragged and
half starved. His father, John
Treadwell, formerly lived there, but
died in the spring of 1887, and the
mother moved to Nebraska and died
in the spring of 1893. The boy, who
was left destitute, started off without
a cent. He had two uncles living out
of Higganum village,but was too weak
and died before reaching them.
Toorhee*' National Bank BUI.
Washington, Aug1. 17.—Mr. Voor
hees reported back from the finance
committee the national bank bill in
troduced by him in the senate. The
bill, he said, had not only the endorse
ment of the committee cn finance and
the secretary of the treasury, but a
similar measure had passed the senate
unahimonsly last session. He did not
by any manner of means proclaim the
measure as one of entire relief, but he
looked upon it as a measure of relief
It would to some extent help the peo
ple. It would authorize an increase of
$19,000,000 on the bonds already depos
ited, and there was not a doubt that it
would result in an increase of from
$40,000,000 to $50,000,000, an increase of
currency that would be at this time a j
solace and comfort to the people in ev- !
ery quarter in the United States. If i
there had been reasons heretofore for
the passage of a like bill, those reasons
were magnified now a hundred fold.
He sincerely hoped that, practically,
without discuission, the senate would ;
do now what it had done before for an !
increase of the circulating medium. ]
The national banks were not favorites ;
of his. He had not been enamored of I
them, nor they of him: but that was no j
reason why they should not be used to j
bring about a measure of relief if they j
were capable of it. In this instance he |
believed that they had power to do ;
good, and he desired to authorize them ;
to render a measure of relief to the
people.
Treasury Price for Silver.
Washington, Aug. 19.—Acting Mint
Director Pr-stcn announced that in
response to his coun'er offer of £0 ,260
per ounce made yesterday, he had pur
chased 164,000 ounces of silver at that
figure.

TALK by MR. HCKBLS.
Volume of Currency In tike Country to
Greater than In Any Recent Year.
New York, Aug. lb.—A morning1
paper prints the following talk by
Comptroller l&ckela ou the currency
situation:
“The situation as it stands to-day
•■**»*•» (I PJJ1U*
priately be termed
starvation in the
midst of plenty, for
such is the exact
truth* The volume
of currency in the
country is greater
than in any recent
year and yet none
is to be had except
as it is bought in
ihfl mnrlfot. ad ■
commodity, pure and comptroixeb
simple. Remark* kckelo.
able ns Is tins money buying and soil*
mg upon the streets of Sew York and
elsewhere, under existing circum
stances it is accomplishing results
quite unlooked for when first en
tered upon. It is bringing ottt of hid
ing places the money drawn from the
banks by the timid, and, as a conse
quence.the ensuing week money will
undoubtedly sink to its normal value.
When this point is reached thero will
be no demand for It as an article of
merchandise and the owner will un
doubtedly return it to the bank from
which he drew it. It seems to me our
people generally do not appreciate the
great harm that is bilng done by tho
continuous withdrawal of money from
the banks that it may be hoarded in
safety-deposit vaults or in places less
secure. '1'he barm done is not alone to
the bank from whioh it is taken but to
every department of business is injury
wrought and ultimately it strikes the
very person who has flattered himself
that he has made himself secure by
hjs precautionary measures in taking
his money from the active channels of
trade and placing it where it can
either rot or prow moldy through in
activity. If ihe working men of the
country, the farmers and others draw
their deposits from national, savings
and other hanks in the immediate
future as they have in the immediate
past they will bring about their own
financial embarrassment, for labor
and produce cannot be had if the own
ers thereof insist upon hoarding it.
NO MONEY TO MOVE WHEAT.
Proposal to pay the Farmers In Clear
ing Honan Certificates.
St. Paui., Minn., Aug. 17.—The
question of moving the 100,000,000
bushels of wheat which is now being
harvested by the farmers of Minnesota
and the Dakotas is one of paramount
importance, and yesterday the leading
bankers of St. Paul and Minneapolis
hold a conference to discuss ways and
means of meeting the emergency. A
proposition was discussed that the
banks of St. Paul and Minneapolis
should create a local currency by
issuing, on thelinrsof the planof New
York banks, clearing house certificates
in denominations of gj, gi(>, g20 and
$50 which could bo loaned to, buyers
to be used in payment of wheat to
farmers and of freights and charges to
railways, and thus carry the wheat to
market when the proceeds would be
returned to the banks, thus putting
them in funds with which to redeem
the local currency. The question
whether this plan can be worked seems
to depend largely upon the co-opera
tion of the bankers, the farmers and
the railroads. The banks are favor
able to t\ie scheme, and the farmers
nnd raiboads will be asked to adopt it
in the next three or four days.
Will Try a One-Faro Kate.
CnicAGo, Aug. 10.—At today’s meet
ing of the Western Passenger associa
tion will be considered the plan of try
ing a week of one-fare rates for the
round trip. The managei-3 of the
World’s fair have been trying for some
time to get the roads to make the ex
periment for one week only, and the
western roads will talk over the plan
and make the trial. The points affected
will bo these: Wisconsin, Michigan,
Illinois, Iowa and Indiana.
Nearly all the eastern lines are tak
ing liberties with the prevailing World’s
fair rates and the reason why no spe
cific complaint has been made is that
nearly all tho lines are in it and cannot,
with good grounds, complain of their
competitors.
The agreement of the Ohio river lines
to raise rates on August 21 is likely to
bo attended with some trouble. The
Lake Erie & Western was, in the orig
inal agreement, a $2.30 differential be
tween Chicago and Indianapolis. Now
it declares it will make the differential
$4.05. This will knodc the proposed
agreement into splinters.
Northern Pacific Assigns.
New Yoke, Aug. 10.—Thomas F.
Oakes of New York, II. C. Payne of
Milwaukee and Henry Crouse, Presi
dent of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas
Railroad company, were this afternoon
appointed receivers of the Northern
Pacific railroad in the United States
court in this city. The Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern companies de
cided to restore freight and passenger
rates to the basis prevailing last Feb
ruary, to go into effect as soon as prac
ticable. Other transcontinental lines
are expected to follow the example of
the two companies mentioned.
Revengeful Depositors.
CmrPEWA Fai.ls, Wis., Aug. 18.—An
attempt was made last night to assas
sinate W. L. Seymour, cashier of Sey
mour’s bank, which failed recently.
Two shots were fired at him while he
was walking in his yard, none taking
effect. The affairs of the band are said
to be in bad condition and there are
numerous working men who were de
positors. All sorts of threats have been
indulged in and many threatening let
ters sent to the officers of the bank.
Timely Wurntug of a Fraud.
Washington, Aug. 18.—The treas
ury department is m receipt of in
formation that a scheme is on
fo t in Australia to inveigle young
women from that country to the
United States under false pretenses.
Col. Stump of the Immigration bureau
is on tho lookout for any women who
come from Australia on contract, and
customs officers at San Francisco have
been notified to be on the alert.

Dm Moines, Aug. 17.—The Iowa ra’

day placed the following ticket In nom

son; for lieutenant governor, Warren
S. Dungan; for railroad commissioners,
J. W. Luke, Z. S. Robinson; for state
superintendent of instruction, Henry
Sabin.
The committoe on resolutions re
ported, presenting a local option tem

tween the prohibition and the anti
prohibition forces on the question of its
adoption. The contest was waged vig
orously for a couple of hours und was
finally settled in favor of the local op
tion element by a majority of ten votes.
As adopted the resolution relegates the
question to the legislative districts and
pledges the party to a modification in
favor of local option.
THE i l.ATFORM.
The republicans of Iowa, in state
convention, declare:
That the government is, of, for and
by the people, and that the object of
all governments should be to maintain
and promote the liberty, safety, hap
piness and welfare of all the people.
That in going into another general
election it calls public attention to the
fact, as a test of the great political par
ties, that the campaign claims of the
democratic party in the election of 1893
have proven false and the claims made
by the republicans were proved true.
Not an allegation made by the demo
cratic purty as to the McKinley law or
reciprocity law has been substantiated,
but in the Withholding of the pensions
of union soldiers; in business paralysis;
in mills and manufactures closed; in
suspended banks; in bankrupted firms;
in the distress of farmers; in the grow
ing multitude of tramps; in falling
wages of thousands of working people,
discharged from employment; in tho
monetary stringency; in the prevailing
hard times and public distress, are the
fulfillment of what republicans pre
dicted, with historic warrant as to tho
known capacity of the democratic party
to distress and disastrously affect tho
American people, as tho results of suc
cessful democratic party.
That the establishment of tho policy
of reciprocal trade, especially between
the United States and tho other coun
tries nf t.lin new world, vves a distinct
ive and beneficial measure of republican
statesmanship, proming great good to
this nation, and wo regret apd deplore
that it has had to pass from the bril
liant and resolute statosmaship of
James G. Maine into the unfriendly
hands of futile mugwumps andphostilo
democrats.
That when Presideut Cleveland said
in his recent message to congress that
our unfortunate financial plight with
the evil conditions depicted are princi
pally chargeable to congressional leg
islation touching the purchase and
coinage of silver by the general gov
ernment, ho omitted the largest pro
ducing cause. This is ono of the sinis
ter effects of the democratic attempt to
overthrow protection and protective
tariff as embodied in that wise measure
known as the McKinley law, and so
close American manufactories and over
whelm the industries that give profita
ble employment to American capital
and American labor.
That for tho relief of the people to
get stability to business and security to
debtors and creditors alike, tho law
should provide that the payment of
debt shall be the return of an equiva
lent in purchasing power, estimated by
land, rent, interest and wages of labor,
so that the creditor shall receive no
less and the debtor, mortgagee, or oth
ers shall have to pay no more than tho
purchasing power that passed from tho
creditor to debtor when the debt was
contracted. That it is of prime import
ance to all American people that sound
currency shall be maintained, of uni
form purchasing power. That we are
in favor of maintaining both gold and
silver as unlimited legal tender for
payment of debt, and in doing this con
gress shall provide that every dollar,
whether gold, silver or paper, shall be
kept of equal value. That we are op
posed to state bank money or any re
establishment of that system of local
shinplaster and wild cat currency
which has proved so disastrous in the
past.
That one of tho great ends for which
the republican party exists has been
and is to maintain the freedom, dignity
and welfare of labor, those who toil.
That we rejoice in high wages that
have been paid Amorican working peo
ple under republican policies and we
aepiorc as one oi me nrsr unu mevr.a
ble results of the democratic party's
success and its ability to establish its
policies that it has already led to a
reduction of wages paid to American
labor. That it is of highest import
ance to working people that their wages
be paid to them in money of full value
and high purchasing power, so that
they shall be able to supyly themselves
in every market with the necessities
and comforts of life. We denounce
cheap and depreciated money of low
purchasing power as an especial hard
ship upon the poor and all who receive
wages.
The administration of Benjamin Har
rison, in its safe and broad statesman
ship, maintaining prosperity and good
government at home and peace with
honor abroad, with purity and honesty
in every department, so that no stain
marred the integrity of national char
acter and conduct, deserves the approv
al of the American people and makes a
noble chapter in the history of repub
lican administration from Abraham
Lincoln to Benjamin Harrison, which
preserved the life of the republic and
gave it freedom, unity, peace, prosper
ity and greatness. It is our belief that
the assaults made on the system of pen
sions by this administration, because
in a few cases pensions are alleged to
have been fraudulently obtained, is a
pretext to attack and destroy the whole
63'stem, and is a menace to the honor
of our brave and deserving national de
fenders.
That prohibition is no test of repub
licanism. The general assembly has
given to the state a prohibitory law as
strong as any that has ever been en
acted by this country. Like any other
criminal statute, its retention, notifica
tion or repeal must be determined by
the general assembly, elected by and in
sympathy with the people, and to them
is relegated the subject, to take such
action as they tnay deem just and best
in the matter; maintaining the present
law as to those portions of the state
where it is now, or can bo made effi
cient, and to give to other localities
such methods of controlling and regu
lating the liquor traffic as will best
■ serve the cause of temp i ranee and mor
ality.

In the Senate—kebraika'i Senator!

Secretary Carllile Olre* the Senate a Lit
tle Information on the Subject.
Washington, Aug. 10.—Mr. Carlisle
sent to tho senate a reply to a resolu
tion passed by tho senate Wednesday
requesting certain information as to
the redemption of treasury notes issued
under the Sherman act In his reply
Mr. Carlisle says:
“During the present month treasury
notes issued under tho act of July 14,
1800, amounting to $714,030, have been
redeemed by the government in silver
dollars. While I do not have knowl
edge of the information possessed by
tho holders of the notes, I am of the
opinion that they were fully advised
that they could have gold if they so de
sired. 1 base this opinion -upon tho
general publicity given to the terms of
the act, no less than upon the instruc
tions of this department to the treas
urer of the United States, which have
been that such notes were redeemable
in silver dollars at the option of the
holders. 1 um also supported in my be
lief by tho fact that in tho circular of
this department, issued to the public
for thoir guidance in their dealings
with the treasury and containing the
regulations which govern the issue and
redemption of the paper currency and
the gold, silver ana minor coins, there
is a paragraph which reads: ‘Gold coin
is issued in redemption of the United
States notes in sums of less than $30 by
the assistant treasurers in New York
and in San Francisco, and also by the
treasurer at Washington.’
“In further response I hare to say
that recently gold has been presented
at this department and silver dollars
asked therefor, and that the gold was
not taken for the reason that all silver
dollars in the treasury at t he time were
required under the provisions of the
law to bo held to cover outstanding sil
ver certificates jtt^ ^cnjjury nq'/.s. At
preterit ilib department could hot ex
change silver dollars for gold if re
quested to do so by holders of gold for
the same reason, but if the conditions
of the treasury were sueli as to afford a
margin of silver in excess of silver cer
tificates and treasury notes, such a
change would he made."
Nebraska Senators Cross Swords, -
Washington, Aug. 1!).—Nebraska's
two senators were prominent in the de
bates before the senate yesterday on
the national bank circulation bill. Sen
ator Allen made a speech in favor of
an amendment offered by him to sus
pend interest on the bonds on which
the increased circulation is based. He
stated that if the bill which was be
fore the senate should become a law
and national banks were given par
value of circulation upon bonds depos
ited, they should he willing to give the
government the interest upon the 10
per cent bonds upon which no circula
tion was now given. He argued that
national bank circulation was profita
ble and that a great many advantages
were accorded to national banks that
were not given to private banking in
stitutions.
Senator Mnnderson arose to opposo
the proposition of his colleague and
antagonize some of his assertions re
garding the real net profit there is in
nations! bank circulation. His speech
was a brilliant one, was extemporane
ous throughout and was listened to
by not only every man on the floor of
the senate, but crowded galleries. In
replying to assertions that national
bank circulation should be abolished
and the money issued by the govern
ment, Senator Mandcrsen stated that
he also favored that proposition.
He felt thllt natiniml tiaelra wm.l A
willingly give up all of their circula
tion, as it was not desirable as it was
not now profitable, and that fact was
proven by the palpable fact that nearly
all national banks had taken out the
minimum of circulation required by
law; that if there was a substantial
profit in national bank circulation the
banks would secure the maximum of
circulation instead of the minimum.
Senator Manderson said that while he
favored the abolition of bank circula
tion and the issuance of the money
direct from the government, ho would
not favor the abolition of the national
bank system or favor the repeal of the
state bank tax, which was a prominent
plank in the democratic platform and
the real aim of the democratic party,
as state bank circulation would open
the door tc fraud and all sorts of
swindles. He declared that no man
had ever lost a dollar by holding the
currency of national banks.

months"—replied in this vein: “Alt
advocates of free coinage say they are
laboring in behalf the poor man. 'Qiojr . u
declare that silver is the poor man’s ’ Km
money, but how could the poor man r<ivii
easier obtain silver at 91.29 an ounco

can a man get a barrel of flour with * ;’,ij
less effort when wheat Is 80 cents a V 'v'
bushel than he can when wheat is 40 '
cents a bushel? Why will dollars be
cheaper whon silver bullion is worth

worth 70 cents an ounce?" .

urday was Orange day and the crowd
was largo. Governor Waite of Colorado
was the elilof speaker. lie addressed
himself on the silver question, closing
thus: .
“We of tho west do not intend to
wade in blood. We believe in tho
priceless principles on which the con
stitution was builded, but I say to you,
lot this depression go on; let it con
tinue; this attitude of striking the west
by the cast because you have the power,
and let nny candidate of your old par
ties go before the people in 1800 on a
platform of protection when the west
has no protection and he will not pet a
vote west of the Ohio or south of the
Potomac.”

DISLIKED BY MR. GRESHAM
T
FlndioR* In the Sttrluj^ra Case Unxat<
{•factory at Washington.
WAsniKGTox, Aug. 18.—Secretary
Gresham is said to be dissatisfied witn
the findings of tho Behring sea tri
bunal in regard to tho regulations es
tablished, and It is understood that hie
views are shared by other cabinet
officers, The relation* are inter
preted to mean that tne United States
will have entailed on them the coat
and worry of patrolling Behring soft
without benefit to its sealers, while
Russia, Japan and perhaps other na
tions reap a harvest, the regulations
being binding only on Oroat Britain
and this country.
It is not likely that any definite
policy respecting.the guardianship of
the sea will be outlined until the
opening of the first season next year,
because bad weather will put an end
to the operations of the sealers in
about two weeks
