A question that Bryan dodges with the

Statistics , which Mr. Bryan appears tc
Ignore , prove this statement U untrue ,
itv Specie payments on a gold baals were re-
eumed on January 1 , 1879 , and slnco that

"A GREAT DRAL IN DAVE. "
Congressman McCrcary lives In the sam
Kentucky town In which Mr. Francis wa
born. Mr. McCrcary Is an ex-governor e
his commonwealth. Some years ago h
dropped Into the office of a newspape
friend in Washington , and In speaking c
St Louis and Its rapid advancement said :
"Perhaps you never knew that I once trie
to locate In St. Louis I had graduated I
law , nnd was anxious to move to some plac
further west , where there would bo gieate
opportunities for a young and ambltlou
man. I went to St Louis with strong Icttci
of endorsement , but nlmost every one tel
mo the law was overcrowded. So I the
went to Chicago , and It seouied to be wora
there. Finally I went to Louisville , an
absolutely received not a word of cncoui

back to my old home at Richmond , an
have lived there over since. However ,

and while he might not live to know of I

son. "
FRANCIS IN POLITICS.
Mr Francis did not seek the mayoralt
nomination in St. Louis In April , 1SD5 , bu
there had been some talk about him as
possible compromise candidate on whom tli
democratic convention might unite ; and th
Kentucklan was like the famous old fclloi
In California In ante-bellum days who dc
clared that he would not seek the Unite
States scnatorshlp , and explained his prc
enco at the state capltol by saying that I
the office was hunting for him It was hi

Thcro were three candidates before the con
volition. It met at 10 o'clock ono mornlnr
remained continuously In session all thrnug
the night , and did not finally reach
nomination until about 9 o'clock the nex
morning. Frnncls was the man on whom th
convention finally agreed after probably
hundred ballots. The three avowed candl
dates were Judge Edward C. Noonan , a nattv
of Reading , I'a. ; Major C. C. Rainwater ,
wholesale- hat merchant and nn ex-con
federate soldier , nnd ex-Mayor Drown of SI
Louis Francis bad first attracted public at
Icntlon la St. Louis by his race the yea
before for president of the Chamber o
Commerce. After one of the hottest con
tests In the history of that great com
morclal body ho defeated Frank Galennle , i
Tormcr resident of New Orleans , who wa
thought to have a walkover. Sitting 01
the Dlatform In the democratic conventloi
at about 2 a. in. , when It was necessar ;
to awaken for every ballot one or the othe
of two German delegates from what wa
mown ns nn outlying "cabbage" ward
Francis said to a friend :
"How do you think this will end ? "
"You will bo nominated , Dave , " was tin
reply.
"Nonsense , " said Francis. "I am not i
candidate "
"Perhaps not ; but complimentary vote !
lave been cast for you , and you mlgh
as well leave your pledge the same as tin
others to abide by the action of the conven
Ion. "
Whether or not such a pledge was left
Mr. Francis was the nominee , and ho put
ip a rattling fight , carrying the city by i
good majority In face of the fact that thi
man ho.defeated had been elected four yean
previously by nearly 14,000 majority. His
opponent was William L Kwlng , a membei
af one of the oldest , wealthiest and mosi
nfluentlal families of the city.
ENTERTAINING CLEVELAND.
The same year Mr , Francis erected Ir

liences then to bo seen In St. Louis. The

gin enough to organize and unscnt stinicler

THE JONES FEUD.
Francis wns elected governor , nnd ho an
Colonel Jones got along pretty well unt' '
the middle of his term In 1SUO they had
falling out. Colonel Jones Immediate !
turned the batteries of his newspaper o
the governor. Ho made It warm for th
whole administration at Jefferson City
Along In 1S02 Colonel Jones Is said to hav
been pressed for rcddy cash and to hav
hypothecated or sold some of bis newspape
stock , with the understanding that th
banker who advanced him the money h
needed was to let him have it hick prc
\ided he could redeem It within n certal
time. As the story goes , Colonel Jonc
was unable to redeem It , and Governo
Francis gobbled It up , and , with othe
stock that he anjl his friends controllet
used it one fine morning in Juno to brin
Colonel Jones' connection with the Republi
to an end. It Is .understood . that none o
the Republic stock appears In the name c
Mr Francis , and he does not figure aroun
the establishment , but , whether true o
false , many well Informed people In th
city have a firm belipf that he and hi
friends , have a considerable block of th
stock.
What greatly angered ( ho friends of Mi
Francis was that It was generally reportc
that early In the winter of 1893 Mr. Clove1
land had him slated for a cabinet place
It was said that he was to be either posl
master general or secretary of the navy
Not only was Mr. Cleveland very fond o
the ex-governor , but , further , he recos
nUed in him a man of fine executive ablllt
and considerable political experience , whil
In addition to such recommendation
Governor Francis possessed plcnt
of money and could take th
place of Mr. Whitney In the firs
Cleveland administration ns a lavish entei
talner. Hut just then Colonel Jones had
pull with Mr. Cleveland and It is understoo
that he , Governor Btone , Major Harvey Sal
mon , chairman of the Missouri' ' democrat !
committee , and others united In a 3,000. wor
telegram strongly protesting against the ar
polntment of Mr. Francis It Is believe
that they prevented bis appointment. Aftc
that the president is s-ild to have offere
Mr Francis the choice ot any of the forelg
missions , outsldo of the British. The offc
was declined , ns Mr. Frnncls did not care t
go abroad.
Mr. and Mrs Francis have six chlldrer
all boys. The youngest Is less than 2 yejr
of age an < f the oldest wasi IT oni May 31 lasi
Ho takes after his father and most of th

something mora than six feet tall. On th
subject of boys the next secretary of the In

James Kerr of Pennsylvania , who , when hi
last boy was born , while he was clerk of th

Crisp that a fifth son had been born to hit :

THE STORY OF WOOD'S ' UALFPENC
Timely HltiNtrntloiit from Jnttnllut

of ( Inllojoott ami
tin S
In 1724 , In Dublin , appeared the first (
the famous "Draplcr s Letters" written J )
Jonathan Sw 1ft , dean ot St. Patrick , again ;
the Introduction of n deba cd copper coir
ago Into Ireland In the light of preser
political events , rclitcs the New York Ever
Ing Post , these old pamphlets have a specif
Interest , quite apart from their lltcrnr
merit and some slight account ot them ma
be Interesting to the newspaper reader of te
day The occasion of Swift's letters wns the nl
tempted Introduction ot "Wood's halfpence
Into Ireland William Wood was nn Englls
Ironmaster , who , by divers underhand de > a
Ings with Wai polo nnd the duchess nt Kci
dal ( Involving , It was said , a bribe of 10,00
to the latter ) , had obtnlncd n patent trot
the English government to coin 108,00
worth of copper money for h eland. Eae
pound avoirdupois ot copper ( worth 1
pence ) was 10 be coined Into half pence nn
fnrthlngg vnlulng half a cro\vn. His piten
was to run for fourteen years only nnd th
quantity for the whole term wns limited t
360 tons of copper. A rent of 800 per annul
was to be paid to the king nnd 200 to th
comptroller of the curiency H was allege
by those Interested In < hc patent that Iris
Industry was mucli Inconvenienced by th
lack of copier coin , but , ns the whole clt
culnttng medium of Ireland nt that pcrlo
was icckoncd at no more than 100,000 , th
utmost amount of copper necessary wu
calculated at less than 25,000 In addition t
what was already In use. To coin nnd fore
Into circulation 108,000 of "brass , " as Svvlf
contemptuously calls It , meant that the stor
of gold and silver , too small already , woul
Inevitably be driven out , that foreign ex
changes would be turned against the coun
try , and that Irish commerce , strugglln
and precarious at the best , would be deal
a staggering blow.
A universal agitation at once arose ngnlns
"Wood's halfpence. " Not only the finnn
clal part of the scheme was hateful to th
people , but the overbearing attitude ot th
English government In enforcing n prlvat
contract against national protest roused Iris
popular feeling to fever heat. Swift , throw
ing himself Into the controversy with hi
usual wit nnd bitterness , became the mouth
piece of the nation The first "Uraplcr1
Letter" was published early In 1724 nnd It
effect wns immediate In rousing nnd en
couroglng the people , who felt that a power
ful leader was now at their head.
In this letter , published , of course , anony
moualy , Swift Introduces himself to th
"tradesmen , shopkeepers , farmers , and coun
try people In general of the kingdom of Ire
land , " as "a drapler , by name M n , " wit !
"a pretty good shop of Irish stuffs and silks
and a love for his country that prompts hlr
to write , though with no learning or fin
language at his command , against "th
brass , halfpence coined by one Wllllan
Wood , hardware man , with a design to hav
them pass in this kingdom. " He begins b
telling his readers of the doubtful mean
by which Wood has obtained his patcnl
and the debased coin which he Is now Issu
Ing. and advises no one to receive It.
"For the common soldier , when he goes t
the ale house , or market , will offer thi
money ; and If ho be refused , perhaps he wil
swagger and hector , and threaten to beat th
butcher or nlowlfe , or take the goods b
force , and throw them the bad halt-pence
In this case the shopkeeper , or vlctuallei
or any other tradesman , Jias no more to d
than to demand ten times the price of hi
goods , If It Is to be paid In Wood's money
and not part with his goods till ho gets th
money.
"For suppose you go to an ale house wit !
that base money , and the landlord gives yoi
a quart for four of those halt-pence , wha
must the victualler do ? This brewer wll
not bo paid In that coin or , If the brewe
should bo such a fool , the farmers will no
take it from them for their barley , becaus
they are bound by their leases to pay thel
rent In good nnd lawful money of England
which this Is not , nor of Ireland cither ; an
the 'squire , their landlord , will never be s
bewitched to take such trash for his land
so that It must certainly stop somcwher
01 other ; and wherever It stops It Is th
same thing tnd wo are all undone. "
Swift gives his humor full sway in th
next passage : "The common weight of thes
half-pence Is between four and five to ai
ounce ; consequently , twenty shillings wll
weigh six pounds , butter v eight. Now thcr
are many hundred farmers who pay 200
year rent ; therefore , when one of thei :
comes with bis half-year's rent , which I
100 , it will be at least COO pounds weight
which Is three horses load. If a 'sriulrc ha
a mind to come to town to buy clothes am
wine and spices for himself nnd family , o
perhaps to pass the winter here , he mus
bring with him five or six horses well ladei
with sacks , as the farmers bilng their corn
and when bli > lady comes In her coach t
our shops , It must be followed by a ca
loaded with Mr. Wood's money.
"They say 'Squire Conolly ( then speake
of the Irish House of Commons ) has 10,00
a year ; now he must hnve 250 horses to hrlni
up his half-year's rent , and two or threi
great cellars In his house for storage. Hu
what the bankers will do I cannot tell , fo
I am assured that some great bankers keej
by them 40,000 In ready cash , to answc
all payments ; which sum , In Mr , Wood' ,
money , would require 1,200 horses to carry
"For my own part , I am already icsolvei
what to do ; I have a pretty good shop o
Irish stuff and silks , and Instead of takim
Mr. Wood's copper , I Intend to tralllc will
my neighbors , the butchers and bakers am
brewers , and the rest , goods for goods ; am
the little gold and silver I have I will kcei
liy me , like my heart's blood , till bettei
times , or until I am just ready to starve
and then I will buy Mr. Wood's money , ai
my father did the brass money In Klnj
James' time , who could buy 10 of It with i
guinea ; and n hope to get as much for i
pistole , and so pure chase bread from those
uho will be such fools as to sell "
In the second letter a boycott ( the first , we
may notice , in Irish history If , Indeed , II
may bo rightly called so , since Captain Hoy-
cott was yet unborn ) was advised by Swift ,
'Let us mark nnd observe those who pre
sume to offer these half pe-nco In payment ,
Let their names and trailer and places ol
abode bo made public , that every ono may
jo aware of them as betrayers of their
: ountry nnd confederates with Mr , Wood ,
Let them be watched at markets and fairs ,
Hid let the first honest discoverer give
he word that Mr , Wood's half pence have :
icen offered and caution tbo poor , Innocent
people not to receive them , "
Wood's representation tnat there was the
utmost need for a copper coinage Is treated
lladalnfully by the Draplcr : "Several gen-
lemen , It U represented , have been forced
o tally with their workmen and give them
jits of card sealed and subscribed with their
lames. What then ? la not a landlord's
land and seal to his own laborers a better
iccurlty for S or 10 shillings than Wood's
irass , ten times below the real value , can
| jo to the kingdom for flOS.OOO ? I will
nalntaln that 25,000 would be a sum fully
iulllcleiit to answer all occasions I am
10 Inconsiderable shopkeeper in this town
ind have discoursed with several of my own
ind other trades , and also with a great num-
> or of farmers , cottagers and laborers Ily
he largest computation a sum more than
icccssary for all dealings would amount only
o 125,000 , whereas this honest , liberal hard
ware man. Wood , would Impose upon ua
> ver four times that sum "
Swift then attacks Wood's proposition to
'take manufactures In exchange , and that
no person be obliged to receive more than
5H pence at one payment , " as follows. "To
remove our direful apprehensions that he
will drain us of our gold and sliver by his
: olnage , this little arbitrary monarch most
; raelonaly offers to take our manufactures
n exchange. Are our Irish understandings
ndced so low In his opinion ? Is this not
he very misery wu complain ot , that UU
; urued project will put us under the ne
cessity of selling our goods for what Is-equal
to nothing ? How would such n proposal
sound from Franco or Spnln , or any olhei
country with which wo trnfllc , H they should
offer to dral with us only upon this condi
tion , that tve fihoutd take their money nt
ten times higher than the Intrinsic vnluo ?
Surely there was never heard such n com
pound ot Impudence , villainy and folly.
Soon after the second letter appeared , In
July , 1724 , the Kngllsh government , through
n special committee of Inquiry , recom
mended the restriction of the proposed coin
age to 40.000 Instead of 103.000 surely R
great concession , nnd hardly consistent with
the-lr as ertlon In the same' report that "the
copper money coined by Mr Wood , when
compared with the coppci money coined for
Ireland In former iclgns , considerably exceeds
coeds them nil In vvcUht , nnd very far ex
ceeds them nil In goodness , fineness nnd
value of the copper" The Irish people ,
however , would have none of these superior
half-pence , nnd the Drnplcr's third letter
was received with Increasing enthusiasm
A declaration wns now advised by him to
bo drawn up "expressing In the strongest
terms our firm resolution never to receive
or utter nny of Wood's half-pence or farth
ings , and forbidding your tenants to receive
them , " nnd such a document wns nccord-
Ingly finmed nnd signed by the most con
siderable persons In the kingdom.
He compares the unfortunate Wood tc
Goliath of Oath "for Goliath had a helmet
of brais upon his bend nnd ho was nrmcd
with a co-it of mall , nnd the weight of the
coat was 5000 shekels of brass ; and be had
greaves of brass between his shoulders In
short , ho was like Mr Wood all over brnss
and ho dellbd the armies of the living God '
And again , characteristically , "My own
poor endeavors to prevent the rulu of the
country by the admission ot Wood's coin
were called 'flying In the king's face. ' which
I directly deny , for t cannot nllow that \llc
representation of the roynl countenance In
William Wood's adulterate copper to be his
sacred majesty's fncc ; or , If It were , my
flying was not against the Impression , but
the baseness of the metal , because I well
remembered that the Imago which Nobuchid.
nczznr commanded to bo set up for all men
to fall down and worship , It wns not ot
copper , but of pure gold And I nm heartily
sorry we have so few royal Images ot that
metal among us ; the sight whereof , although
It could hirdly Increase our veneration for
his mnjcsty , which Is nlrcady so grcnt , yet
would very much enliven It with the mixture
of comfort and satisfaction "
The dean could be serious e > nough , how
ever , when ho came to the kernel of the
argument , and one of his most weighty
paragraphs has lost none of Its weight by
the passage of n century and a half. "The
histories of England , nnd ot most other
countries , abound In rclntlng the miserable ,
and sometimes the most tragical , effects
from the abuses of coin by debasing the
metals , by lessening or enhancing the value
upon occasions , to the public loss It Is
the tcndcrest point of government , affecting
every Individual In the highest degree When
the value of money Is arbitrary or un
settled , no man can well bo said to have
any property at all ; nor Is nny wound so
suddenly felt , so hardly cured , or that leaves
such deep and lasting scars behind. "
At this third letter the English govcin-
ment decided to prosecute the writer.
Swift's authorship was universally suspected
by this time , but nny Informer against him
would hnvo been In peril of his life , so fully
was the Drnplcr supported by the people
The printer , Harding , however , was arrested
and tin own Into prison. At the same time ,
thinking It wisest to try conciliation as well
as coercion , Wnlpole recalled the lorel lieu
tenant , the duke of Grafton , a man of llttlo
ability , and sent Instead a personal friend
of Swift's , the able and brilliant Lord Cnr-
teret. It was determined to press the case
against Harding The grand Jury , however ,
when the matter wns brought before thorn ,
threw out the bill The chief Justice , Whit-
shed , dismissed them , with a furious de
nunciation unworthy of his station , and an
other grand Jury was summoned They
proved more obstinately patriotic still , for
their first act was to present Wood's half
pence as a common nuisance. "The popu
lar outcry , " says Coxe , In his "Memoirs of
Walpole , " "wns so violent that the lords
justices refused to issue the orders for the
circulation of the coin A general panic
seized even the king's bust friends , who were
apprehensive of popular commotions. People
ple of all descriptions and parties flocked
In crowds to the bankers to demand the
money , and diew their notes with an express -
press condition to be paid In gold or silver.
The publishers of the most treasonable
pamphlets escaped with Impunity , provided
Wood and his patent were Introduced into
the work. "
Ucatcn at last , the Englisn ministry gave
up the fight. Wood's patent wns cancelled ,
and he was allowed a pension of 3,000 a
jcni for eight u ri > as a compensation for
the IOM of his \pietcd profits So ended |
