Rut for that ' the republicans had & majority In bolh branches and we could have passed a tariff bill , which Cleveland would unquestionably have signed , " "Tho contention of the- silver people Is that the United Stales are prlvlllscd to cxerclso the option ot paying government obligations In either gold or silver ; that Is , that the obligation Is to pay In ccln , and therefore wo can pay cither gold or liver. How do you regard that point ? " "Technically , yes. But the effect of the payment of our debts and obligations In flllvor , especially when that silver Is repre- Rented by silver certificates outstanding , would bo n violation of the public faith and would bring ua undoubtedly to a silver standard. That Is very easy to be brought about. But the president won't do thnt. Ho has refused to do that nnd he sells the bonds to make good the gold that has been paid out for United States notes. The par ties who buy the bonds must pay In gold , and while the law says payable In "coin" wo pay It In gold coin because the payment In silver coin would bring us very quickly to the silver stnndnrd , to which ho Is op- poied. "Do I bellevo that we could mnlntnln gold payments any length of time after Bryan's election , If he wire elected ? Not at all. Ho would not try to do It. " "But , even Mr. Cleveland , could he main tain It for the rest of his term ? " "No , unless ho did so by the sale of bonds. " "And could ho sell the bonds ? " "It Is very doubtful. They are not so ready sale as they were. When the public mind becomes satisfied thnt wo Intend to go to the silver standard It will go to the silver standard very quickly , and silver will therefore bo measured by Us nctunl market value. Then wo would have two kinds of currency. Silver nnd silver notes. " "Would all our paper currency bo silver paper ? " "Yes ; the United States notes would not bo worth moro than the silver certificates nnd the silver certificates would only be worth whatever the silver coin Is worth. " "What do I think ot Omaha r.nd Ne braska ? This country Is developing so rnpldly out hero I am much Impressed with Its growth whenever I go over It every three or four years. I was out hero two or three years ago , and 1 always notice great Im provements. My trip this tlmo Is for recreation. I will probably leave the party nt San Francisco nnd go directly homo. "I nm not going to do any tnlklng out west. I want to avoid It If possible. You know It Is rather dangerous for a man from one of the eastern states to speak to thcso people out west. They would think wo were trying to dictate a line of policy to them , nnd the better way. I think , Is for mo to keep quiet. When I get over onto the coast If they want some little talks , I may give them to them ; but I think It Is Just as well to let them work out their own salva tion. " SOUTH DAKOTA IS SAFE. of the llepiihllc-nn State Cen tral Committee on the Situation. YANICTON , S. D. , Sept. 12. ( Special. ) Chan-man Elliott of the republican state contra ! committee lies Issued a general statement covering the political situation In South Dakota , which , although not con clusive , Is sufficiently accurate to warrant the assertion that this state will roll up nn Increased mnjorlty for McKlnley. Na tional Commltteeman Klttrldgo. who has recently made a canvass of the doubtful portions of the state. Is very much en couraged over the situation and said today that South Dakota was safely republican by a largo .majority. In 1894 there wns a plurality of 13,833 votes for the republican ticket , and n majority over both democratic nnd popullstle tickets of 4,066. From reports that are now being received nt republican headquarters It would not bo extravagant to estimate that these figures would bp doubled In November. The sound money democrats will vote for McKlnley. There will be no national democratic electors voted upon In this state , all ot the leaders having cast their lot with the republicans. It Is an nounced from reliable popullstlr sources that the populists concede the defeat of their state ticket nnd have decided to devote nil their energies to capturing the legislature. This Is In accord with the plan outlined by Se'n- ator Pcttlgrew three months age- , when he declared that the legislature was of more Importance than the entire state ticket. The legislature will elect a United States senator to succeed Senator Kyle. This Is F 5 Pettlgrow'fl object , while the populists as a W party nre after the control ot the state.

Watson spoke hero today to a largo crowd of populists and was well received. It was Ills last speech In the state , and he again emphasized his position In favor of a Watson set of electors nnd pleaded for recognition. "You must bo for mo or Sewall , " ho said ; "There Is no middle ground. I stopped the fusion of the populists In the south and propose to stop It In the north. You cannot afford to trade the national ticket for local spoils. " Mr. Watson leaves tonight for Lincoln , Neb. , to consult with the central committee of that state and then goes to Colorado. Vnlltlcnl Situation hi Colorailo. DENVER. Sept. 12. The Efforts to con solidate the four silver parties of Colorado In support of one state ticket In the coming election proved a failure. The democrats and silver republicans , however , have com bined forces in support of a ticket headed by Alva Adams , democrat , for governor , and the populists effected a fusion with the sil ver party , their Joint ticket headed by Judge M. S. Bailey , populist. Thcso four parties , however , have nil united In sup port of the Bryan and Sewall electoral ticket.

DEMOCRATS GREET M'KINLEY Thousand Enthusiastic Men Who Prefer Prinoiplo to Party , BIG DELEGATION FROM CHICAGOTO CANTON Voter * HerHofnri' Hoitlliin Ilpiuti- llenu OnnillitiitcN Anmiru tlic Ohio StiitcMiniui of Their llcnrlj- Support , CANTON , O. . Sept. 12. For the first time since the St , Louis convention Major Me- Klnley spoke today In Canton away from his home. After the great delegations from Chicago and Homestead had gone , 1,800 people ple from McKccsport , I'cnn. , and employes of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pitts * burg gathered with thousands of other people ple about the house. Major McKlnley mounted a clinlr to speak to the Pennsyl vania delegation , when the storm came In terrific fury. The meeting adjourned to the tabernacle , whereho spoke. A thousand people clustered In and about the house ami under trees , and to them he spoke on hla re turn home. After dinner tonight Governor Klnley looked his best In health and spirits , although he had made halt a dozen formal addresses today and shaken hands with 5,000 people. Two train loads of the Commer cial Democratic McKlnloy club or Chicago reached Canton this morn * Ing , the last section arriving at 9:10. : They came to call on Major McKlnley. They were met at the station by" the Canton Com mercial Travelers escort and the Cantor troop. Heading the party wore President G HorrstvJt. Chief Marshal Frank Higbee. First Vice President E. Dodd. Second Vice President John Devlin , Third Vice Presi dent W. F. Orafton , Secretary Harry U Levy , Treasurer A. F. Olger of Chicago , IJrooks' Second Keglmcnt baud of Chicago accompanied the party. Marshall Field & Co. , the J. V. Farwell company , and Carson , Plrlo , Scott & Co. were represented. These nnd the band occupied the first section , numbering over 400 on this train alone. The secoi d train carried a largo number. The party numbers between 000 and 1.000. They wcro escorted to hotels for breakfast and prepared to call on McKlnlcy at 11 o'clock. As they paraded past Mother Nancy Allison McKlnlcy's home they cheered and cheered ng-aln , the venerable woman , 87 years old , bowing her acknowledgments from the front stoop , where she usually spends an hour In the morning. There was great enthusiasm all over the city as this entirely democratic McKlnley delegation , 1,000 strong , marched over the well paved streets of McKlnley's home city. Thousands of people Joined the democratic Chlcagoans at the McKlnley homo at 11 o'clock. As Major McKlnley appeared on the stoop of his house Marshal Frank Hlg- bee Introduced Prof. Hoffstadt , who spoke as follows : "Major McKlnley : In behalf of the Com mercial Democratic McKlnloy club of Chicago cage , comprising men who have always voted the democratic ticket and representing every branch of mercantile Interest of our city , I extend to you our most cordial greet ing and pledge you our earnest nnd hearty support. AVhllo giving you our votes and assistance In this campaign the great ma jority of our club still believes in the vital principles of the real democratic party as enunciated by Jefferson , Jackson and Cleve land , and whllo we may still differ with you In a number of minor policies ot our government , those principles which we have advocated , though still dear to many nf us , sink to Insignificance when our country Is threatened by the alleged democratic party. ( Applause. ) Its platform and candidates nominated at Chicago advocating repudia tion and dishonor would. If successful , we believe , cioato widespread disaster and ruin to the business Interests of our country. "We , the members of the Commercial Democratic' McKlnley club , who have always voted the democratic ticket , will , now that our country Is threatened with anarchy , so cialism and repudiation , demonstrate to you , dear sir , in this crisis our patriotism and love for our country , Its constitution , Its Institu tions and Its flag , the same as did all loyal democrats In 1S61 , when our country was In the throes ot rebellion. "Wo feel and believe that by our support of you wo will best subserve the nation's In terests and maintain Its honor and Its In tegrity and restore to a suffering people confidence and prosperity. " ( Tremendous cheering. ) THROUGH PARTY LINES. Cheer after cheer and throwing ot hats am ] blare of trumpets greeted Major McKluley when ho mounted a chair to say : "Mr. Hollstcdt and Gentlemen of the Dem ocratic McKlnley club of Chicago ; Ycur call Is most gratifying to me and most en couraging to the cause Inhlch wo are Jointly Interested. To have this largo body of commercial men , representing every branch of mercantile interest in the great city of Chicago , belonging to another politi cal party than the one with which I am associated , pay me a. visit is particularly significant and demonstrates In a most strik ing manner that the great conservative force of all parties can bo relied to unite In every crisis of our coun try. ( Tremendous cheering. ) Tl-at you would have traveled nearly 400 miles to bring mo assurance of support shows your deep solici tude for the honor of your country and signalizes the Interest which Is everywhere felt that the good faith of the nation shall not bo broken and that Its credit and currency shall not bo degraded. ( Great ap plause and cries ot "Good , good ! " ) It shows , too , that party lines , strong as they are , are not strong enough to prevail against the country's highest nnd best Interests. ( Tre mendous cheering nnd cries of "That's right ! " ) What Governor Morris said long years ago Is peculiarly applicable now : "Let us forget party and think of our country. Our country embraces both parties. Wo must , therefore , endeavor to serve and bene fit both. This cannot bo effected while political delusions array good men against each other. " ' ( Applause. ) "I sometimes tblik , fellow citizens , that possibly the dangerous menace of free sli ver nnd an Irredeemable unlimited currency which now confronts us WAS needed to con vince the whole world that old sectional lines are obliterated and that tbo domina tion of party Is not tenacious enough to control against the country's welfare. " ( Tre mendous chwrlng and erica of "Hurrah for McKlnley. " ) The enthusiasm of the visitors held up through the remainder of Major McKln ley's address. Ho .argued . that all citizens owed It as a patriotic duty to their country to uphold the present financial system and In a long discussion endeavored to demon strate that the free coinage of silver could bring nothing but disaster and distress to the ccuntry OARNEGIU'S MEN COME NEXT. Following closa upon the call upon Major McKlnloy by the commercial men , came tbo beginning of Pennsylvania's delegation. It surpassed In size , noise and enthusiasm all of its predecessors. The first division to uirlvo was the steel workers of the Carnegie mills at Homestead. They came In a special train of three sections , aggregating thirty- three coaches , each packed to the platforms. A parade was organized at once , the horse men , the citizens' committee and the Penn sylvania uoclety of Canton leading. The men inarched four abreast and as the last were falling In line at the depot the first ot were almost at the McKlnluy residence , over halt a mile away. Cheers from thousands of throats all along the line mingled with the music of n dozen or more bands and the noise all over the business section of Canton was simply deafening. The crowds of Cantonluns nnd ot people from surround ing towns and country of the morning had been swelled to double their original proportions - portions and the enormous Jam around the McKlnley homo was beyond description. Every department of the big Carnegie steel works was represented In the parado. presided - sided over by Chief Marshal Schwab. J. M , Molanthy , a workman In the mills , was the spokesman. As he spoke the tralna at the depot poured out a new and steady stream , composed of the Pennsylvania company's employes and L. the McKecsport , Penn. , McKlnley and Hobart - on bart club. These came on special trains run In sections and It was several bourc before the Utt arrived. The railroad com pany estimated that f-oni western Pennsyl tills morning from 8,000 to 10,000 pco pie were carried to Canton. Mr. J. M. Molanth.v , superintendent of the transportation department.of the Carnegie company , was the spokesman for the Home stcadcrs. He said the delegation rcpresontr < the Homestetd Steel works , which cmploj C.OOO men nnd turns out from 75.009 to SO.OOO tons of finished mnterlal per month. Under the McKlnley law , he asserted , this showing could have been doubled. Ho hoped for the election ot McKlnlcy and the return of Urn prosperity. In reply Major McKlnloy salt the republlcsn party , had always believed In "homesteads , " whether upon the public domain In the far west or In the busy manu facturing centers. Ho congratulated the Homesteaders on the great ndvnnce they hat made In the grent Industry they represented and said : The frequent statement Is mnde that the gold standard has Injured the business or thn country , diminished the ptlees of iigil- cultural products , apprcclatod the lrlco..0 ) , , disaster to the gold and wrought ruin and country. This is. of course , a mere assump tion , and is based upon the fluctuations of the market prices of commodities , wlilcli , Ii many instances , have diminished In the last twenty-live years , and bocntiso of this HP- crease in prices. It Is asserted , that gob' ' hasi appreciated. The fall In prices > ovt-rj man In this audience knows Is easily nnd remlly accounted for upon a moment a re flection. The ilecrenso in the price of com modities lias been going on ever since skll nnd genius nnd Invention linv * been at work , nnd such cheapening process has been marked and conspicuous for a thin of a century , aided by a protective tariff and the rich rewnnls that our prospcrlt > has offered. Whenever ngrlcirttimi products have fallen In price , It Is dlscov- oiuhla that there has been nn Increased production , nnd that the Increased con sumption has not kept pnco with the In creased production. AH great areas o hind have been opened to the raising of farm products , the quantity of such pro duction has Increased , and the demand not Increasing In the same proportion , prices have logically and Inevitably fallen. It docs not require a great effort of the mind to comprehend that If you Increase the quantity of wheat In a single year enormously with about the same number ot consumers us before thnt. prices \vll BTheOWchanEe3 In the prices ot agri cultural products , or any other com modities which have been cheapened In this production by Improved irmchlnorj and moro competitive fields , with great production , does not prove that gold haf advanced In value , but simply that sucli products huvo fallen In prices. Is not the labor of men rather than the thing which Ilia labor creates the real tfst. Have tin wages paid to labor slnro ISi.l , as measurer by gold , decreased ? That Is the cruclu' question. Wo resumed specie payments or n , gold basis , January 1. 1S79. Slnco that tlmo wages and salaries have not declined but rather risen. The nominee then quoted official statistics to prove this assertion , referring also to the report of the special committee of the United States senate , which , In 1S92 , Investigated the subject ot wages and prices. Ho added : This committee reported that In twenty- one of the selected Industries wapes were in money 40 per cent hlpher In 1SSO than In ISO ) and GO per cent higher in 1S90 than In 1SCO and the prices of staple articles had fallen between 1SSO and IbW In some Inatanccs one-third. In other words , there had never been n. time In oilr history when work was so abundant or when wages wcro so high , whether measured by thp currency In which they wcro paid or by the power to supply the necessities and comforts of life. ( Applause. ) AVAGES UP AND PllICES DOWN. That's what you had In 1892. Is there a workman In the United States who docs not want that condition back again ? ( Con tinued applause. ) Since 1SCO wages have advanced OS1/- per cent , according to the table of the senate committee. The wages paid In 1SOO wcro in times when we had the free nnd unlimited coinage of silver and thirteen years before the suspension ol free coinage ot silver. In 1SDO , according to the CCEUS , tbo occupations of persons over 12 years of ago numbered 14,32C,1 , " > 0. This great army of which you are n part , constituting moro than one-fifth ot our population , works for wages and is paid In money measured by gold that Is. when you have work or money as good ns gold. You have had no other kind of money since 1S79 and the working people of no othei country of the world have any better money. There are the toiling masses who were the most prosperous In 1S32 of any working people In the world nnd more pros perous than they had ever l)6cn before. The cheapening of commodities conies from the Introduction and application of laborsaving - saving machinery , both on the farm nn < 1 In the factory. There Is scarcely uny branch of production which does not tuin out moro commodities per hour' of labor than In 1ST3. It would bo Just as reason able and Just as conclusive to say that the suspension of the free coinage of silver In 1873 reduced thn price of steel rails from $120 per ton to $25 or $30 per ton , the price now prevailing , as to Bay that act reduced the prlco of wheat. The price of wheat Is fixed by the law of supply and demand , which Is eternal. Gold has not made long crops or short crops , high prices or low prices. Gold has not optncd up the wheat flcldE ) of Itussla , India or the Argentine Republic ; nor will free sliver destroy them. Gold has no ! kept up the frclpht rates for the agricultural producer nnd the stoppage of free coinage In 1S73 lias not advanced them. Our working people have bought the necessaries and comforts of life cheaper for themselves and families dur ing all these years since 1873 nnd down to 1892. They were getting bettor wages , paid In gold , for their labor than over before. In the United States everything has been cheapened but man and. as nearly as I can ascertain It , In free silver countries , such as Mexico , Central America nnd South America , man alone has boon cheapened , everything ho buys having been steadily Increased with constant fluctuations by steady decrease In the price of silver. With the gold basis and the protective tariff from 1879 to 1S9.1 the worklngmen of this country were never before so steadily em ployed ; they never before received such good rates ; they never before : were paid In better money and their wagct * never bought ns many of the necessaries , com forts and luxuries of Ufa. ( Applause and crlos of "Hurrah for McKlnloyl" ) If a gold standard deprived the American teller of a single day's work or his family ot a single comfort , or reduced his wages or made life harder for him , I would be against It. As it docs not and ns It pro motes the general prosperity and upholds the national credit and honor , I am for It nnd shall steadily favor It as long as I believe It Is truly beneficial nnd advan tageous to our country. ( Long and con tinued apnlaiisp. ) Major McKlnley then quoted from the speech made by Secretary Carlisle to the woHtlngmen of Chicago on April 15 last. In which the secretary declared that the free coinage of silver would bo fnr moro dis astrous to the interests of labor than any trouble heretofore experienced. "Those arc the words of truth and sober ness , " said Major McKlnley , "and I com mend thorn to the workmen of Homestead nnd to the entire country everywhere as well entitled to the most serious nnd earn est consideration.

OBJECT LESSONS IS HONEY A , E. Stillwell of Kansas City Makes a Practical Talk to Laboriug Men , NO PROFIT TO THEM IN FREE COINAGE .Illne Owncm Would He the Only llcii- Quantify of Silver Al ready Colneil HIIN Operated to Shake Confidence. The money question was handled In a mas terly manner Inst evening by A. IS. Stlllwoll ot Kansas City at the rally of sound money men which was held nt Fifteenth nnd How ard streets hi Knrlmch hull. The large MI- dttorlum wns packed with over a thousand voters , who listened to the plain statements of fact , unvarnished by any attempts nt rr- ntory , which the speaker marshalled In sup port of his argument. The speech wns In some respects nu'to ' unique nnd showed inncii Ingenuity and skill In the manner of presentation ot facts. Every point In the course of the remarks was Illustrated by some practical object les son. Small paper boxes In the form of disks wcro used to Illustrate the relative quanti ties and values of gold and silver. Behind the speaker wcro hung charts showing the annual productions of mining , manufacturing and agriculture , the population of the United States at dltfeicnt periods and other similar points of comparison. Howard II. Baldrlgo presided and Intro duced Mr. Stillwell In a tow appropriate nv marks I , calling attention , somewhat , to the speaker's II personal history. Ho snld It wns uropcr I In view of the attacks which had been made upon Mr ; Stillwell In certain quar ters I to let the nudlenco know ) ust who Mr. Stillwell ; wns. Attention was called to the fact 1I 1 that for eight years n school hnd been 1I In I operation In Kansas City for the use of poor I children. Nobody knew who was fur nishing the funds ; nor did Mr. Stillwell , , who had been the- one who had advanced all the t money , disclose this fact until he had j been attacked by unprincipled people who denounced him as n "plutocrat" nnd the like. ' For the first time It then came out that Mr. Stillwell had been devoting his fortune to this work. SHOWED PRACTICAL SYMPATHY. Mr. Stillwell started out by stating that a document wns being circulated charging that he was only a tool of Morgan and the money power. He said for this reason ho felt warranted In stating a word concerning himself. "I am the president of the only railroad which built any line last year , " he said. "That wns the Kansas City , Plttsburg & Gulf railroad , and I claim to have done this much for the worklngmen in that wo kept 7,000 of them at work constantly. " Speaking of the contest at the polls In November next , Mr. Stillwell said ho wanted to see McKlnloy victorious and Bryan alto gether outdistanced. In Illustrating what ho wanted Mr. Stillwell told the story of the woman who received a telegram that her husband was dead. "Send on the re mains. " was her answer. The telegram re- colvrd In response stated "There were no remains. Ho wns blown away In a cyclone. " That is the way the country ought to de clare against Bryan and free silver. On the tariff question the speaker called attention to the fact that this country had adopted practical free trade four years ago with the result that It had not had any trade ; at all since then. Much amusement was created by the speaker's Illustration of the way In which the silver forces treat a capitalist or an employer of worklngmen , and n silver mine owner. The man that Is so unfortunate as to have any money at all Is called a "bloodsucking leech. " But the silver mine owner KOCS about , according to the free sllverlte , with a halo about his head. Sena tors Jones and Stewart were shown up In their -true light , the recdrds ot these men In 1874 being compared with their records today on the silver question. "Stewart then said that It would be better for this country that It should come down to a gold standard. He said the question would never bo settled until you determine whether the laboring man Is going to get the dollar ho earns or whether you are going to cheat him with an inferior dollar. " CAUSE OF THE NEW ZEAL. Pointing to a blackboard with figures on It the speaker showed that In 1870 , the silver mines wcro producing 12,300,000 ounces of silver , but in 1895 they turned out 40,000,000 ounces. In 1870 Its prlco was $1.33 per : ounce , but today It only amounts to C7 cents per ounce. But there nro people who profess to be surprised that the price of silver has fallen. These figures show one reason why these free silver agitators are making such a noise. Then they were jetting more money out of their silver not to have free coinage , It being worth moro than its coinage value. Today they think hey will mnke more , and they are willing to crush the people In order to make a 'ow dollars , and prostrate all trade to do hls. "As a matter of fact the people in ho silver mining business , " said Mr. Still- well , "tell mo that they can make Just as much today ns they did In 1874. At hat time they had to pack the metal over ho mountain by mule , carry all provisions .hat way and pay for expensive machinery. Mow and Improved machinery , cheapened reimportation and a hundred other causes 1 lave entirely revolutionised the mining i business since that time. "Thu agitation of this silver question Is ill I" 5no of the potent causes for our present Is juslness stagnation. Currency Is governed Isal. > y 'tho bullion vnluo of the coin. Just as si he value of silver , In which wages may th io paid , goes up or down , wages fluctuate , a In trade , if a man Is buying , ho will bu ; > fif on a wide margin where the currency Is chef luctiiating. Business becomes uncertain , and , as the metal falls , the country do. of pendent on that coinage cannot bo pros CO perous. This was Illustrated In India. That br country had $900,000,000 of silver , and the pr prlco : continued to go down until the gov ernment had to interfere and stop the prm coinage , unable to stand It any longer , KO ; Shall this nation follow the example ol te heso 1 silver-using countries and refuse It , th roflt by their experience , It Is a significant la act that all silver-using countries pay low th wages. Of this rule India , China and Mox- th co are examples. Surely we do not want tv his free coinage If Mexico , India and P China have had such bad times. " W COMPARISONS OF SILVER COINAGE. ov To illustrate , the amount of silver money actually existing in the United States at babe llfTerent periods , the speaker pointed to bo wo cylinders of wood ho had on the plat- onn. Ono showed that only $8,000,000 .tl vorth of silver dollars wcro coined up to 873 by this government ; the other showed i : hot after the "horrible crime of 1873" we lad coined 430,000,000 silver dollars. Tbo crowd broke out with a cheer when they saw the big difference In the sizes of the M . wo cylinders. Mhi hi "I really do not think that the sllvei- nine owners are seriously suffering from ccq : depression of business , " remarked the q poaker , "and by the exercise of rigid econ a ! omy they will continue tor some time to ccm have enough with which to buy three meals m day , " cr : He then proceeded to show what tbu stwi profits are. Moffatt Invested a few years wi ago $100.000 In a sliver mine and realized cc 5,000,000 from it. The speaker thought or hat the ordinary business man would have Itm icon satisfied with getting $2,500,000 on Itvc its Investment , Instead of asking for $10- vc 00,000. "The bulk of the silver mines , " utcs continued , "aro owned by hut twenty- cs lirco men. " To substantiate this state , as ncnt be read a list of the names of thu th non , or their estates , owning the silver is nines of this country. This point was greeted with loud cheers. "Thero are men ray acquaintance , ' " said the speaker , 'who have bought up mines and held them Ju or over three years. They have not done at ny woik on them , Just opening up the wipe , liver to view. 'Wo expect to get so much peas moro when we gut free coinage that we as an afford to let the mines He Idle , ' say lo bcse " lomi men , mi OBJECT LESSON IN VALUES. th Mr. Stillwell then pulled out two Mexican tic ollars nnd two American silver dollars anil noTe bowed the radical difference between them. The Mexican dollar Is only worth Us bul > on value. The American dollar Is worth I cents , because it can heartily join In Te iftt old Methodist hymn , 'I Know that My tic ledcemer Llretb.

When catarrh of the head and throat Is left unchecked It extends down the wind pipe Into the bronchial tubes and aftur n whllo attacks thu lungs. "Have you a cough ? "Aro you losing llesh ?

Mexican dollars Is worth moro than the \mcrlcan , hut the American dollar , as a lurchaslng power , Is worth Just twlco what i Mexican dollar Is worth , because It Is tept on a parity by gold. The Sherman act , the speaker stated , had iperated to destroy confidence because It vas found , when this country was only pur- haslngI.DOD.OOO ounces of silver a month , hat It was difficult to maintain silver coin it a parity. After these purchases yvcro nade , which , It was maintained , would cccp up the prJco of silver. It kept Kolng lown. "But it was not nearly as bad us ho present proposed legislation. Then a nan took his silver to the government and rot Just what It was worth as a commodity. " Clio speaker ventured the opinion that moat icoplo wcro willing to sell things for what hey were worth as a commodity. Hut inder the free coinage of silver It is pro- loscd to let those who are BO fortunate as 0 have silver go to the government with il worth of silver and get $2 hack. Under ho Sherman act the government held $1 iack , although $2 were coined. Under the iroscnt act It Is proposed to stamp the netal with a lie and then put It into clr- lulatlon. It Is nothing but stealing when man takes 51 cents to the mint and gets dollar back. The speaker humorously imposed that the government should stamp he eggs laid by our liens with n sign "Tills two eggs. " Ho said it would amount to .bout ns much as the attempt to stamp a liver ! dollar a dollar and make It worth hat. Ho proposed that Omaha should pass . law making all Ita twcnty-fivo-foot lots Ifty feet In width. That would glvo the hlldren a play ground , It wns shown that there is $1,000,000,000 if silver In the world which , If free olnago Is enacted , this government mtint irlng up to a parity with gold or have a do- ircclatcd currency. In closing he gave a iractlcal Illustration of what free colnaga ucans by placing two plies of silver and old blocks side by side. Taking away slx- ecn of the silver blocks from a pile of hlrty-two , ho said that Is what silver legls- itlon would attempt to do , Jt would tell ho people that thcso sixteen silver blocks hat are left are Just as many un the thlrty- wo silver blocks that wcro there before , 'roplo would say , "that might bo so , but -o ( will talco the thirty-two silver blocks very time.
