SfctOND NOTICE.
It has become necessary for business
men In all branches of trade to do a
strictly cash business, and as that neces
sltates our paying cash for what we
buy we have also concluded to go to a
cash basis, and will, on and after No
vember 10, 18, discontinue sending
The American to all subscribers who
are in arrears. If their accounts re
main unpaid at that time they will be
placed In the hands of a collection
agency for settlement. We sincerely
hope no subscriber will neglect to pay
his bill on or before November 10.
Look up your receipts and if you are in
arrears come in and settle. Don't neg
lect this matter. Attend to It to-day.
The American until election day
for 10 cent. Cash with the order.
Hon. Joel A. Piper has made an
excellent Secretary of State, and is en
titled to re election. The American
takes pleasure in commending him to
the voters of this state.
Hon. Charles H. Morrill has
been aooointed vice-chairman of the
Republican state central committee.
He can be found at the Republican
headquarters in Lincoln, where he will
receive all callers.
POPCLIST speakers frequently make
the statement in their arguments to
the effect that Interest rates would be
.materially reduced under the free and
unlimited coinage of silver. By a ref
erence to the statistics prior to 1873 it
will be seen that interest rates were
much higher than they are to-day. It
will also be seen that the legal rate av
eraged about 10 per cent, while the con
tract rate was even much higher. In
times of so-called "cheap" money the
interest rate has always been higher.
Our readers should not permit them'
selves to be deluded with that kind of
aa Idea.
ANSWERING HAY SEED JAY.
Io another column will be found aa
article, written by a friend, to anwer
to our editorial on "Finance and Tar
iff" which appeared In The American
laat week.
The article U given space for the
reason atstgned in the opening para
graph or our friend's article because
the columns of The American are
never cloaed agalmt a man because his
opinion differ from that held by us.
However, one thing must ba under
stood at the outset: We shall not give
pace to all articles rlttea in favor or
tbe free coinage of silver, and for that
reason we shall not surfeit our columns
with a defense of the present mone
tary system. We shall aot give
space to more than one communication
each week that is written for tbe pur
pose and with the intent of answer
ing articles we may have written.
We make this statement at this time
so that there may be no opportunity
for any person to say we have not been
abtolutely fair in tbe conduct of this
paper during this campaign. We be
lieve we are right just as thoroughly
as some of our free stiver friends do
that they are right, but If they can
convince us that we are in error, we
ill not hesitate to so declare, even
though it bo in tbe last issue before the
election.
We are not a partisan unless the
other fellows nominate notoriously bad
men, or men with notoriously bad rec
ords so far as their attitude toward the
P. A. is concerned; then and in
that case we become a partisan.
So much for an explanation. Now
lot us sue what our friend says:
"You refer to Mr. Bryan's reoord in
opKsltlon to the compulsory teaching
of the English language in the public
schools of New Mexico, for which, of
course, be stands conaemnea oy a
large majority or the American people;
quite forgetting that William McKln-
ley, in common with a large number of
the political men of our time, sought
the good will or the Romtoh church by
acquiescing in her demands.
You refer to the warm friendship of
some prominent Romans for Mr. Bryan;
do you discover no equally zealous
Romans, loud-mouth jd in their cham
pionship of William McKlnley? How
about Kerens, Lauterbach, Ireland and
others?"
Our friend has simply followed a
common free sliver plan of argument in
tbe above. He meets a well established
fact with an assertion. Last June the
supreme council of the A. P. A. was in
session in Washington, D. C , and the
records of the several Republican can
didates for president were fairly and
impartially discussed. The conclusion
reached was that every candidate
whose name would be presented to the
Republican convention at St. Louis,
rrom Linton down to McKlnley, would
be acceptable to the A. P. A. The
committee sent to interview Major Mo-
Klnlcy relative to his attitude toward
the A. P. A. consisted of Rev. 13. F.
Hudelson, state president of the A. P.
A. of California; Mr. King of New
York, and another minister, unless our
memory serves us false, from Kentucky,
Those men went to Canton. They had
an interview with Major McKlnley,
and their report was that that gentle
man had unhesitatingly and unequivo
cally endorsed the principles of the A.
P. A. If Major McKlnley was accep
table to the A. P. A. supreme council,
If he unhesitatingly and unequivocally
endorsed the principles of that order,
then he must have committed some
flagrant act since June if he has ac
quiesced in the demands of Rome to
that extent that he would be unaccep
table to the great body or patriotic cit
izens composing the A. P. A., the
grandest American order ever institu
ted. But what was that act? Was it
hen he wrote his letter or acceptance
and said of the priest-ridden and pope
cursed classes of criminals, paupers and
contract laborers of the old world that
we had no room for them? Oh, no;
our friend says, it was wnen ne per
mitted John Ireland and Lauterbach
to dictate the platform and when Dick
Kerens was placed in charge of the
rtate of Missouri.
Now is It true that he permitted
either Ireland orjjauterbach to dictate
hat went into the platform? Is it not
a fact that the platform as first drawn
had in it every principle contended ror
by the A. P. A., and was not that plat
form submitted to William McKlnley,
and did he not approve of It? The
members of the A. V. A. who were
present at the St Louis convention
have bo stated, and they have also
stated that the second platform, the
one adopted, was never ratified by
Major McKlnley. We will admit the
great Republican party was cowardly
when it threw aside the first draft or
the platform endorsed by its candidate,
William McKlnley, and took up and
adopted one molded on the lines indl
cated by John Ireland. We condemn
the party for that act. However, shall
we blame McKlnley because a thou
sand men were too cowardly to endorse
what he approved? Would such action
be just? Most assuredly it would not.
But how was It with the platform com
mittee of the Democratic party? A
Romanist from Georgia and one from
California Insisted on the Introduction
and adoDtlon of an antl-A. F. A. reso
lution. The man who is now the Dem
ocratlc nominee was on that commit
tee, lie stood with those Romanists,
and he has since told a friend of ours,
an A. P. A., a Junior and a Mason,
that be understood the plank adopted
was an antl-A. P. A. plank, and that
he favored it because it was.
Well, why did be place Dick Kerens
lo charge of the state of Missouri! He
did not. He had no more to do with It
than you had. Tbe delegates to the
national Republican convention chose
their own national committeeman.
A. P. A. men on the Missouri delega
tion tu the national convention were
really responsible foi his election.
They voted for Major Warner the
Ed Roue water of Kansas City Instead
of Chauncey I. Fllley, while Warner
voted for Kerens.
Our friend then says;
"You fall to note that there Is a
great difference between the amount
of money In existence and tbe amount
In circulation doing business."
We did not note that fact in our arti
cle. We did not think it was so. The
amount or money in actual circulation
was $21 10 per capita. But our friend
does not agree with us as to tbe reason
ror this small shrinkage since tbe
end or .the year 1893. He says it
was a conspiracy on tbe part of the
bankers to force the repeal or the Sher
man purchasing clause. If his asser
tion were true, times should be better
to-day than they were in 1893, or In
1892 prior to the repeal or the pur
chase clause of that act, but we sub
mit the question to you, Are they
bettor? You know they are not. Then
our friend's theory is not the correct
one; and It must be because, as we
stated last week, capital will not be in
vested while there is any possible
show or the country going to a silver
basis. This government is nothing
but a great corporation. Every citi
zen has a vote to cast to decide wbat
policy shall be pursued. We are the
president of a newspaper corporation.
We are one or the stockholders. Sup
pose we were we to cay to the rest or
this community, "We do not propose
to use the same money you use; It is too
dear; we will print a lot or our own
and you will have to lake It
In exchange for what we owe you, and
or what we buy of you," would you
not get hold or all the money possible
and hoard it up until the stockholders
or our company got together and took a
vote on the proposition? Moat assured
ly you would. You would say, "I know
this money Is worth every cent its face
says it is worth, but I do not know that
the money you issue will be worth
more than tne paper on wnicn it is
printed." So it is with the capitalists
to-day. They see one set or our people
a very respectable minority crying
ror cheap money, and they have sim
ply said what you would eay, "We
will keep this money that we know to
be good until such time as this money
question is settled; then, If the free
sllverltes win and their theories prove
to be susceptible of demonstration, we
shall let our money out into the chan
nels of commerce; but, if they prove to
be pure fallacies, we shall continue to
hoard our good money." You would
do exactly the same thing had you
njpre money than you could use in
your business.
Our friend next says:
"If there be free and unlimited coin
age of gold, tne gold Duuion win oe
worth its coin value, and if there be
free and unlimited coinage or silver,
the silver bullion will be worth its coin
value, for who would sell his bullion
for less, when he can have it coined
free? If the coinage or either be lim
ited to below the amount produced,
the surplus will seek a market with
the highest bidder, and this fact ex
plains the depreciated value of silver."
For the sake of argument, let us
admit that the price of bullion will not
go below Its coin value under Iree and
unlimited coinage.
Now, let us go a step further.
Lst the silver kings of America
take their mountains of silver
that are waiting for a market; let them
take them to the United States mint;
let them take their pay in silver certifi
cates, and return to their homes. Have
you any or that money? Has your
neighbor any of It? Can you get any
of it If you do not work, and can you
get work if the shops, the factories
and the mills are closed? Can you get
any of it unless you have something to
sell, and can you sell to those silver
mine owners more than you do
to-day? You say, "Certainly; they
will want to get their money in circu
lation; they will want It to be earning
them something; they cannot afford to
have it lvlnsr Idle." We are not so
sure about that. Ha not our friend
said that the money In circulation had
decreased to little more than $13 per
capita because of a conspiracy on the
part of the bankers? May not these
silver mine owners, who are aleo bank
era and railroad magnates, may they
not also conspire, and, in order to get
a greater price for their silver than
even the face of that silver dollar calls
for, may they not hoard (heir money,
thereby forcing the price of money up
and the price of labor and of farm
products down? This proposition is
just as reasonable as that advanced by
our friend In his article. It is just as
liable to prove true, also. We cannot
see where we would be benefited by
pitching the present financiers over-
bo re: and taking on a new outfit, more
unscrupulous, equally as selfish, and
not a bit ore hooest than are the
gentlemen on Wall street. For our
part, if we are to choose between Wall
street bankers and silver mine owcers,
we prefer the bankers, because tbey
live aod vote io this country, while,
unless common report is wrong, a ma
jority or the owners or silver and silver
mines are foreign capitalist. v
Our friend then admits that the
present capacity of the mints of the
United States would be Inadequate to
the demand if we bad free and unlim
I ted coinage, aa he figures that there
would be sent to our mints, provided
the mines of the world produced each
year hereafter as much as they did in
1895, one hundred million ounces of
silver, which would be worth, accord
ing to free coinage figures, $129,500,000.
He falls to take into consideration that
during 1895 the production from Amer
can mines was much less than it will
be hereafter, otherwise the argument
of tbe free sllverltes to the farmer that
free coinage will open our mines and
put a large number of men to work
who will have to buy their products, is
groundless and of no weight. The free
silver advocates have repeatedly told
us that tbe silver mines were closed;
that they could not afford to mine sil
ver at the prices which have obtained
for several years. If this is true, if it
is a fact that the silver mines are
closed, then, Instead ' of our hav ng
$129,500,000 worth of silver to coin
free, we may be called upon to coin
one-half as much more, which would
raise tbe amount to nearly $200,000,000
or more thaa $3 for each man, woman
and child in the United States. Then
ir that plan was pursued for seven
years, we would have twice as much
money for each man, woman and child
as we have to-day, but it would be In
the silver mine owner's pocket, and
would remain there unless you had
something he wanted to buy either
labor or products.
Our friend then speaks of keeping
the balance of trade in our favor, and
seems to think that it will be accom
plished very easily if we have free sil
ver. To secure for ourselves a larger
share of the trade of the world than we
have to-day, must, in our opinion, re
sult in the cheapening in some way of
the article offered for sale. Countries
(the people in the aggregate), like in
dividuals, buy where they can get
things the cheapest. If China and
Japan, which are silver countries, offer
an article for sale that was manufac
tured by people earning lens than a dol
lar a week, how can the American
manufacturer, who pays from $1 50 to
$3 50 per day to have the same thing
produced, how can he compete with
the Chinaman or the Jap unless he
lowers the price 6f his laborers' wages
to a level with the standard in those
ountrles? He can avoid j this in
but one way by buying the material
of some producer who has reduced his
laborers to even a lower standard of
wages than have the Jap) and the
Chinese.
Don't you believe, friends, that we
can obtain the balance of trade or tbe
world unless your wages are reduced
to the Lvel of those paid In other sil
ver countries. And free silver will
not control the markets of the world
for the farmer's product any more than
it will for the laborer, and we will
show you why. Russia is a silver
country. She is a great wheat pro
ducing country. She also has cheap
labor. She will go into the markets
of the world and offer her wheat,
raised by a man who probably received
for his year's work one-tenth as much
as the American farmer had to pay his
help. Does the farmer believe he
could pay ten times as much for' help
to raise and market a crop'as the Rus
sian farmer does, then 'take his product
to the world's market and (undersell
him simply because we have the lrce
coinage or silver and have given the
silver baron twice as much as his prod
uct was worth? Does it look reasona
ble? Take it home. Suppose you and
your nearest neighbor teach took a
load or wheat to market, and .that his
cost him five cents per bushel to pro
duce, while yours cost your fifty cents
per bushel, could you go on the market
and undersell him? If you can't do it
at home, can you do It abroad?
I. When you hear a free Silverman
talk, go home and think ithe thing
over by yourself, and IV won't have so
rosy a hue.
AS USUAL.
A man giving his name as Frank
Connors was arrested about 3 o'clock
Sundav morninar bv Officer John Wells.
Connors was drunk, and was wander-
lnir about trvinsr to open doors on Uom
mercial street. He bad two decks of
cards on bis person, and Chief Selp was
preatlv surprised to discover afterward
that He was a iatnouc priest, xiis irue
name is Father Callis, and his home is,
nr was until lately, at Leavenworth
When arrested in Atchison, he was on
his way from Jrranklort to leaven
worth. He says he knows a great
many Atchison people, and named one
nromlnent citizen and wife whom he
said he had married. He looks to be
about 35 years of age.
The above clipping, from the Atchl
son Globe, is a refreshing exception to
the rule of the subsidized dally press,
falling over each other in their efforts
to kiss the mcta tarsal extremity of the
superannuated vice-god of dago land, by
upprefsing all news detrimental to
the Interests of the Romish "machiae,"
an exception that has a tendency to re
lieve "that tired feeling" which has
been growing on an observant public of
reoent years.
Thb fact that more silver Is la cirtav
latlon as money to-day thaa prior to
173, when the mints were open to free
and unlimited coinage, is evidence
enough in ifctelf that tbe Republican
party ba al wave been in favor of the
broadest use of the white metal. It
has always been the policy of the Re
publican party to plaoe the govern
ment at the back or all' the money of
the people- In order to maintain the
parity. At present the purchasing
power of every standard silver dollar
is equal to that of gold or any other
kind of money. Gold is simply a stand
ard of measurement for our dollars,
and is merely adopted as such because
it purchasing power, whether colnti
or in bullion, Is the ame in every other
nation. Should our standard silver
dollar be accepted in the payment of
imports, whether coined or in bullion,
we believe that no objection would be
raised to the free and unlimited coin J
age. me existing tact una tne duu-s
Ion and coinage values materially differ
under present prices, and the argu
ment that legislation would equalize
that value, is a theory which, in our
opinion, cannot be sustained. The
congress of tbe United States might as
well fix the value of wheat, corn and
other farm products, or any class of
manufactured articles, and undertake
to maintain it. -

dicate a "waning" of the sentiment.

SUES A PRIEST.
Mtea Kate T. Hickie Wants $0,000
Damages From "Fattier" E tin is.
'Father" Bernard A. Einis, of the
Dominican convent, 871 Lsxington ave
nue, Has bjen sued in tne supreme
court of Queens county byJJMiss Kate
Ted ford Hlckie, of Long Island City,
to recover $50 000 damages for defama
tion of character.
Herman S Loew, of 280 Broadway,
appears for Miss mcK'.e, and w. J.
Lardner, formerly deputy attorney-
general, represents the priest."
Miss Hickie, who formerly lived at
43 Weft Thirty-fifth street, alleges
that she has been attacked in letters.
written to her and the newspapers.
Miss Hickie is about 28 years old and
a prepossessing brunette. She was born
in Dublin, Ireland, and her parents
died when she was 7 years old.
About six months ago "Father"
Ennis, a young priest, be same infatu
ated with the woman and she made
frequent visits to the Dominican Con
vent church to see the young priest
who, contrary to his vows, had fallen
In love with her.
One of the older priests, a Father
Hartigan, noticing the intimacy be
tween Miss Hlckie and the young cell-
bate, tried to put a stop to her visits,
and finally wrote letters to friends and
newspapers or a defamatory character,
charging her with poor funds she had
collected for the church.
When Miss Hlckie could mo longer
call at the convent "Father" Ennls
communicated with her through the
malls, and many letters passed between
them, all of which the young lady has
placed in the hands of her attorney,
who, In the course of the case started,
will make them public, and he prom'
ises that they will be ot an interesting
and spicy character.
When "Father" Ennis found that he
could no longer keep up his intimacy
with Miss Hlckie, he commenced to
say things derogatory to her character,
and it is for this that the young woman
is suing him.
Romish celibacy is a farce and a
humbug. The papacy caa no avore de
stroy or control the faculty of love
than it can remove the sin f rvm the
cent.-r of the universe. Eofoir;d celib
acy compels RomUh priests to ruin
lives and destroy the happiness of
other.
Romlah priests frequently select or
phans or a friendless girl for their vic
tim. Father" L?yden, of Illinois,
made ai orphan his crnel victim.
"Father" Flaherty, of' Mount Morris,
Ji. Y , ruined a fatherless and mother
less girl of 16, and now here is another
papal parasita seeking, the downfall of
aa orphan and friendless young womn.
, Miss Hlckie hai so oe difficulty In
securing a lawyer to take her present
ease in hand and try secure her justice
in a court. Lawyers are afraid of
Rome. She holds a string on many
of them, and outraged humanity can
not, in many cases, get these advocate
and Interpreters of the law to figit for
them.
"Father" Eonis belongs to tbe order
of holy butchers that ran the Infernal
machinery of the inquisitioa, and ie
mean and low enough to do anything.

from the ract that party lines to a de

will the currency question, in an effort
on the part of the Democrats to over

nominating Judge Ferdinand Brucker,
think they have found in him a candi

Yes. That is the way of the Jesuits.

Of course, the Citizen says it Is an ef

an attempt of the papists to overthrow
American liberties and all free institu

correct, They have always used the

destroy or weaken this country.
How any self-respecting American
citizen can train with such a crowd is
beyond comprehension.
