CHERBOURG , Oct. 5. The bail luck which
seems to cling to the czar showed Itself again
today. The most elaborate preparations had
been made to receive the Russian travelers.
The wa from the landing stage to the hall
of the arsenal had been covered with silk
hangings , shields , bannerets and flowers , the
landing stagu Itself was beautifully draped.
Venetian masts were erected at many points ,
nnd floral bunting and other decorations
displayed everywhere , but when the work
was complete the weather became threaten
ing and later a terrific squall swept over
the city and port , felling the Venetian masts
to the ground , scattering the decorations In
nil directions and Inflicting great damage
generally. This morning , however , hundreds
of men wcro set to work repairing the
damage , and every possible effort was
directed toward having the arsenal , the
landing stage and the approaches made
bright with fresh decorations for the coming
of the czar and czarina.

Ing of twenty-one vessels , and Including the
Charles Martel. first class battleship ; the
Hoche , battleship , with Vice admiral
Hegiiauct dc Premesnil an board ; the Jean
Hart , Descartes , Jemtuapcs and fifteen

at S o'clock In single file , a gale of wind
blowing , ncforo tbe war ships wcro outside
the harbor they were almost completely
hidden from view by a heavy rain storm ,
which did further damage to the decorations
ashore. The gale also Increased In force ,
and a heavy sea began to thunder on the
coast.
At noon the news was signaled that the
Russian imperial yacht had Joined the
Russian squadron and was proceeding to
this port with the French escorts at each
Kldc.

was n grand one , the bands on board the
French ships played the Russian anthem
and the sailors dressed sides and cheered
heartily. The czar stood upon the bridge
of the I'olo Star and responded to the cheers
with a military salute.
The I'olo Star , folowed by the Standard
then led the way Into the harbor , upon
which ttio land batteries poured forth an
Imperial salute. 1'rcsldent Faure , In evenIng -

POLK STAR DOES DAMAGK.
The I'olo Star was destined to have an
other unpleasant experience before landing
the czar and czarina. As she was towed l > >
two tugs alongside the obsolete dispatch boat
Dlsson , which had been moored against
the quay In order to servo as a pontoon
she. crashed heavily against the gangway
which had been run out from the Illssoii
and smashed It to pieces. Hut the gang
way was almost Immediately replaced bj
another and the czar and czarina stepped
ashore.
Every point of vantage was black with
people- and the utmost enthusiasm pre
vailed. HatB , handkerchiefs , etc. , were
waved In the air and for the first time Mince
the full of Napoleon lit there arose from
an Immense French crowd the almost for-
jotten ; shoul , "Vivo 1' Empereur. " Hut II
was soon followed by other cries of "Vive
la Tsar , " "Vivo la Rupsle , " during which
Bevurnl baskets of llowcra wcro presented to
the e/.ar. President Fauro presented the
czar with a floral offering representing a
cnr tilled with roses , pinks and aznllaa and
drawn by doves.
The czarina was the first to land , holding
In her hand a light , unopened umbrella
Shi ) , w.is , dressed simply In n gray costume
with n capo and wore a straw hat trimmed
with roses lie France. The rz.ir wore the
uniform of a naval captain and displayed
the Insignia of the grand cum of tlm legion
of honor. Ills majesty stepped forward
firmly with his left hand on the hilt of his
Bword , Ho Hhowed no signs of fatigue.
The czur touched Ills cocked hat as ho
passed before the French ( lag , nnd his salute
was greuti-d with prolonged shouta. PresIdent -
dent Fnuro was on the landing sUae and
bownd deeply and hissed the Marina's hand
and welcomed the rzar to French neil , the
latter replying to the presidents salutation
with a military salute , nu.d then taking .M.
FHuro's hand. , The president askc.l * o-
Hcllously whether the czarina had not suf
fered greatly In the course of the rough
passage across the channel. This czar
thanked hll'ii for the Inquiry and reassured
him regarding the czarina's w-jlfnre. He
further expressed the pleasure he felt In
nt last achieving lila ling-formed project of
vlsltlns France ,
SUNSHINE AT LAST.
President Fnure gave his arm to the rzar-
Ina , while the rzar walked on ( ho president's
right hand. As the party asreiiilatl the
steps leading to tlm hall , decoraiod in Louis
XIV style , ( ho premier , prculdonu of HP
Chamber * , and others followed them , and
the sunlight burst through iho ein'.ids for
the first time during the day , thus tllfjwll-
Ing the gloomy fccilngs of those who had
remarked the unlucky storm o' the ii.fht
nnd morning , and the Incident of the wifck
of the gangplank at the lauding slaw , The
Invited guests were already sauted in ll'o
reception hall , and they arose -u the crar
aril czarina and the president e-Karoii The
latter escorted their majesties to the ruined
platform , where President Kauro took up a
position In the mlddlo , with the Imperial
guests on cither ldu of him. The various
presentations were then made , and. ihc party
proceeded to the diplomatic1 hall , h > * tw rn
two lines of guests , who bowed no tbe czar
ina , still on the arm of President Faurc ,
passed. The czarina responded t.mtllngly ,
nnd the czar touched his cocked hat to the
salutes ho received.
After a short stay In the grand hall , prepa
rations wcro made for boarding the Elan ,
Napoleon's state barge , In order to re-view
the fleet. Heforo this was done. Admiral
Hesnard , minister of marine , sugscsVd that
In view of the fatigues which she had al
ready undergone during the day , the tzar-
ina might prefer not to accompany the crar
during the review of the fleet. The czarina
graciously replied : "I am too nnxlojs to
visit a French vessel to renounce such a
pleasure. The magnificently painted , gilded
and upholstered barge was flying the IVrnrh
tricolor , and the Russian Imperial standard
side by side. As the Elan emerged from
the harbor to review the fleet of French
war ships moored In the roadstead , each vrs-
sel fired a salute of thirty-one guns. The
Uargn steamed between the ships of the
fleet , which was drawn up In four lines , and ,
as the barge passed , the crew of each vessel
gave seven cheers nnd the guard of honor on
deck presented arms , the bugles sounded
and the band played the Russian anthem.
The Ulan was stopped abreast ot the battle
ship Hochc. the flagship of the squadron , and
the Imperial party proceeded on board In
a pinnace. As the czar and czarina came
on hoard , the Russian standard was lowered
from the main , and the personal fines of
the czar and of President Fauro were hoisted
on the ship. All of the chief o Ulcers of the
port of Cherbourg and of the squadron wcro
massed on deck. The czar conversed ! for a
few moments with Vice Admiral Regnault do
Prcmcsnell. in command of the squadron.
Their majesties then Inspected the crew and
the vessel. The party remained on board
for bait an hour.
Upon leaving the Hocho a renewed salute
of thirty-one guns was fired. The Russian
sovereign then continued the review , after
which the Elan returned alongside thn
Pole Slur , which had remained moored tea
a pontoon while the czar nnd czarina and
their suite went to dress for the official
dinner In the evening.
BAND PLAYS MARSEILLAISE.
As President Faure traversed the Pole
Star on his return from the barge to the
arsenal , the Russian sailors on board cheered
and the band played the M.irstlllnlco.
All those who have been concerned In
the ceremonies Incident to the welcome of
the czar ore greatly pleased with the Rus
Elan monarch's affability. Twtco he In
sisted that M. Fauro should prece.dq him.
At ( ! :30 : this evening President Faure and
the other French officials went to the quay
to fetch the czar to the banquet. The
president alone went on board the Pole Star.
The czar Immediately made his appearance
and all proceeded to the banquet hall. There
wcro seventy-three guests seated at three
tables In the arsenal. The central table had
a magnificent display of golden ornaments
and flowers. The czar and President Faure
occupied the central places at this table ,
M. Lotlbet , representing the senate , and
M. Urlsson , president of the Chamber of
Deputies , being seated on cither side of
them. The czarina was not present at the
banquet , having begged that she be ex
cused on account of the fatigue she had
undergone during the day. President Faure
arose , the others present Joining him In
standing , while he proposed the toast to the
czar. The president said :
"It is with great joy that , accompanied
by the president of the Chamber of Dep
uties , I have received today your majesty
and the empress. The president of the
republic Is certain that he responds to the
sentiment of the nation In constituting
himself the Interpreter of its unanimous
wishes for your Imperial family , the glory
of your majesty's reign and the welfare
of Russia. Tomorrow , in Paris , your ma
jesty will feel the heart of the French pco-
nlfl honlli.w anil III * * umlnmn * * urtvrn f/l thp
emperor and empress of Russia will prove
to them the sincerity of our friendship.
"Your majesty has chosen to arrive in
France escorted by one of our squadrons.
The French navy is grateful for this. It
remembers with prldo the numerous marks
of sympathy which your august father dis
played toward It and that the task was
entrusted to It of taking part In the demon
strations at Cronstadt and at Toulon.
"In wishing your majesty a welcome to
the soil of the republic I raise my glass In
honor ot the emperor and empress of Rus
sia. "
As the company drank the president's
toast the naval band played the Russian
anthem.
The czar , In responding to the toast , said :
" 1 am touched with the sympathetic and
cordial welcome given to us at Cherbourg.
I have much admired the squadron which
escorted us and also the admiral's vessel ,
thn Hoche. On touching the soli of a na
tlon which Is Russia's friend I share the
feelings which you have Just expressed , Mon
sieur lo Presldonte. I raise my glass In
honor of the French nation , the French fleet
and her sailors , I thank the president of
the republic for the wishes and the welcome
he has Just expressed. "
The czar then clinked glasses with Presi
dent Faure , as M. Faure had done with the
czar at the end of his own toast. The naval
band present played the Marseillaise and
the Russian anthem.
At the conclusion of the banquet the czar

NEW YORK , Oct. 5. As Chairman Hanna
was leaving the republican headquarters this
afternoon , ho was asked what there was In
the report that he had written a letter to an
Intimate friend. In which ho conceded the
election ot Ilryan because republicans were
unable to control the labor vote. Mr. Hanna
replied , "The report ls absurd on the face of
It. 1 have not written such a letter , nor
have I at any time said anything capable of
such construction. The report is what you
newspaper men , I believe , call n 'fake. ' 1
have too much confidence In the Intelligence
and Integrity of the American wage earner
to believe ho will vote for a policy or sup
port a candidate on a platform which means
repudiation and a 53-ccnt dollar. I never
conceded the election of Mr. Bryan , and I
certainly cannot concede it now , when the
tide Is flowing so strongly and unmistakably
In the direction of republican success. "
"Then , you are confident , Mr. Ilanna , of
the vote ot the worklngman ? "
"I am confident that the men who work ,
whether for salaries or by the day , will be
with the republican party In this campaign
for honesty nnd a sound 100-ccnt dollar. Any
other Interpretation of the wage earners
would be an Insult to their patriotism and
their Intelligence , for they hr.ve more at
stake < n this Issue than any other class of
men. I don't propose to discuss in the news
papers our plan of campaign , but I will Bay-
all our reports Indicate that a great majority
of the votes of the worklngmcn will be with
us In this campaign.
"The silver craze may bo likened to an
epidemic. UE acute stage was reached n few
weeks after Mr , Hryan's nomination. Like
every other malady. It yields to careful and
Intelligent treatment. "
Republican headquarters gave out the fol
lowing tonight : "A report has recently been
circulated In the west to the eff ; ct that Mr.
Hoburt , the republican candidate for vice
president , is president of the hard coal trust ,
which. It Is alleged , has advanced the price
of coal. When Mr. Hobart's attention was
called to this report he said that while he
did not make a practice to deny campaign
rumors , he felt that Inasmuch as this matter
had been circulated through the west It was
proper to make a statement , the substance
of which is as follows : Last December
the trunk line railroads located cast of the
Mississippi were called upon , under an
agreement known as the Joint Traffli : asso
ciation , to select three arbitrators to arbl-
trato the differences which might arise be
tween thcfio railroads. Only trunk linen
were Included in this arbitration. Coal
railroads were not Included and the matters
submitted to arbitration had nothing to do
with coal production , coal tonnage or the
price of coal , In any manner , form or shape
whatever , whether directly or Indirectly.
The selection of Mr. Hob.irt as n judge be
tween these railroads was made because ho
had no Interest therein In any form.
"Mr. Hobart also distinctly stated that he
ima au cumie.ui.zuu , aiicctui luaii it , vriiit
any such coal trust , lie docs not know of
the existence ot any such trust , e-cept as he
has seen It stated in tbo newspapers. "

YANKTON , S. D. , Oct. 5. ( Special. ) Re
publican committcemcn are advised that a
man representing himself to be Judge I \ E.
Ocllenbaugh , and sometimes calling himself
Plerson , is n fraud. He has been In the
state for two weeks or morn , nnd has been
conspicuous for his loud declar tions that nil
of the railroads are furnishing the repub
lican speakers with transportation , and that
them is a secret understanding uetwecn th ?
republican party and the railroads. This ban
been a campaign dodge In the Interests of
the populists , and tha fraud will bo arrested
at once If he can be found In the slate. The
national committee wired Chairman Hlllot
that they had no secret agents In their em
ploy , and knew no such man as Plerson
or Dcllenbaugh , now in 'his state.
Chairman Elliott stated this morning that
a poll of the state , Just made , shows that
a claim of 8,000 as the minimum MciCInley

The poll of the Bryan vote shows a loss over
two years ago , and a gain in the republican
vote.

RICHMOND , Vn. , Oct. B. Ex , President
Benjamin Harrison spoke hero to about
6,000 people tonight. The meeting was belt ]
In the Auditorium building at the exposi
tion grounds , where Xlr. Bryan spoke a
few weeks ago. The audience was about
equally divided between the two races. On
the stage were many of the leading repub
llcans and democrats aud also a sprlngllng
of silver democrats. General Harrison's
wife was present. She was accompanied
by several Richmond ladles. The cx-prcsl
ilcut was loudly applauded when he made
his appearance on the stage. City Chair
man N. J. Young called the gathering to
order and Introduced Hon. L. L. Lewis ,
republican nominee for congress , to pre
side. Judge Lewis made no speech , but In
n few words presented Geneiaf Harrison. The
speaker was In good voice. The rival ap
plause for McKlnlcy and Bryan Interrupted
him several times. There were n few dis
orderly persons present nnd the police ar
rested some of them nnd put them out of
the building. Once the lights went out and
the building was In darkness five minutes ,
during which General Harrison suspended
his remarks. When General Harrison pro
ceeded and warmed up he received better
attention. His complimentary references to
Virginia and the south were all most lib
erally applauded. General Harrison , In be
ginning his nddress , said : "Ladles nnd Gen
tlemen : "I will thank you to be ns quiet
as possible , as I desire to speak to you In
a quldt , dispassionate way of some things
that arc of great Interest to mo and 1 hope
arc of Interest to you. I have come here
at the request of Virginia friends to speak
on questions now agitating all. Virginia
Is not the enemy's country to me.
( Cheers. ) It Is my ancestral home and
Its citizens are my fellow citizens.
( Cheers. ) I do believe that Virginia
has as large a number of great and good men
under ground as any state of the country.
Inever _ said that she had no good men above
ground. ( Cheers and disorder. ) There was
a time when the north and south were ar
rayed against each other In battle line.
That time Is now only a memory. Wo all
are again one united people. This great
state aud nil the states that participated In
the civil war have sworn allegiance to the
flag and constitution , and Virginia stands as
firmly united for tholr defense ns any state
In the federal union. ( Applause. ) More
than that , not only do her citizens , but the
confederate soldiers , stand now for the old
flag of Washington. ( Applause. ) If It shall
bo the sad fate of this country to be Involved
In war , It any foreign flag attempts to tram
ple on our flag , Indiana and Virginia will
charge together , nnd who shall stay that
onslaught ? The memory of Gettysburg and
Appomattox will force us not to stop until
WO ara , on the Inside of the brenutworks of
the enemy. We nrc hero tonight under on'o
union. Wo are hero to claim for our states
thoseriehls wblch the federal , constitution
gave them. Wo are here to say that the
constitutional powers of our national govern
ment shall not be trampled upon. I regret
to notlco the recent assault upon our consti
tution. The Incident I refer to Is the Chicago
cage riot. Men In defiance of law , in great
organized bodies , went through the streets
with fire and sword , destroying property ,
stopping railroads , blocking the malls and
preventing commerce. These acts had their
origin In railroad strikes , and wcro the work
of men under the red Hag ot anarchy. Mr.
Cleveland felt it as much his duty as wft
any duty that devolves upon the president nf
the United States , as commander of the army
and navy , to restore tralllc and the move
ment of trains , The courts were appealed
to and n writ of Injunction granted to en
force the law. Violation ot the order ot tlje
court resulted In contempt proceedings and
punishment of the offenders , which Was
right. These courts proceeded on a line that
was legal , that was upheld by the constitu
tion , and yet tbo president and the supreme
court are denounced In the Chicago plat
form. "
The speaker referred to Senator Daniel nnd
scored him for being a party to the Chlcagt.
platform , when he had In the senate fathered
a resolution Indorsing President Cleveland
for sending troops to Chicago. Ho held that
the upholding of the constitution and law
was the most important of nil duties of citi
zens. Ho argued that the Chicago platform
meant to change the supreme court body
so as to accomplish the ends ot anarchy. He
said that Virginians had just as much at
stake In the preservation of the laws as the
people of any other state , and urged them to
vote to prevent It from being despoiled ,
The second question that General Harri
son discussed wns the money question. He
had exhausted over half cf his time In speak
ing of the Importance of maintaining law and
order. His arguments against free Oliver
were along the line of those he has used in
other speeches. In closing he advocated pro
tection to American Industries. Protection
would be a great boon to the south , he eald.
lie mentioned McKlnley only once , nnd that
wns In his llnnl appeal for "law and order ,
Bound money , protection nnd McKlnley. "
At the close the general wns vociferously
applauded and many people rushed forward
to shake his hand. The ex-president nnd
Mrs. HnrrUon left immediately for Charles
ton , W , Va. Murat Halslead la with him.

LINCOLN. Oct. 5. ( Special. ) C. I ) . Cas
per , cholrman of the nominating convention ,
chairman ot congressional committee and an
elector ot the Fourth congressional district
of Nebraska , today filed with the secretary
of state his formal protest against the
purported certificate ot nomination of R.
E. Dunphy , as candidate for congress from
the Fourth district. The grounds of Mr.
Casper's objections arc as follows :
First That Eugene Schilling and George
\V. Wc t are not members of the democrnlle
party , nnd that no convention of the demo
cratic party \\n held at ln < * time nnd place
designated In Dunphy'i * certificate of innnl-
lintlon.
Second Thnt the t > nld convention did not
represent a party or any party easting 1
per cent of the vote In the Fourth district
at the lust Mcnerul election.
Third-That said pretended convention did
not represent the democratic party of the
Fourth congressional district , nnd had no
authority to act for or ou behalf of said
party lu such dlMtrlet.
Fourth That In truth nnd In fnct the
democratic eoiiKrcHslomil convention of the
Fourth district wan regularly cu'led nnd
repulnrly held by the reiiresvutatlven of the
democratic1 party of wild district In the elty
of Lincoln. Neb. , on September 3. ISM , at

nnd ut ttnld convention one Wllllniu L. St.uk
wax regularly nominated att the candidate
of the democratic parly for the olllce of
congressman from the Fourth district , his
certlllcate of nomination having bieu duly
tiled with the secretary of Htate on Stptom-
lier S. ISM , and that no other eertltleiite
purporting to be of the s.ime party for the
same olllce and for the came dlytrlet. Is en
titled to be tiled and acted upon by the sec
retary ot stnte. That the convention ad
journed ref tilurly after the nomination of
Stnrk subject to the call of the chnlrinaii
nnd secretary , ami Unit no other or mibse-
ciuenl convention liu * been call u or au
thorized by said chairman and secretary
or by tiny one representing the democ-.itlc
pnrty of that congreHH'onul dl-trlct.
Fifth The objectors allege that the "pre
tended political pnrty pretending to nomi
nate Mr. Outiphy In the Om.iha eoineiitlou
was not then nor at any other tlmo the
democratic party or a reiiresent.itlve of It.
Sixth Heeau.xe thin pretended convention
at Omaha , was wholly unnuthotlz-d ijy Un
democratic pnrty or any one authorised tenet
not for It. and was only called and held for
the purpose of disorganizing and an fur IIH
possible Injuring and destroying the donn-
cratlo organization In the Fourth dlstnrt.
and If possible defeating the election of the
reirulnr democratic nominee.
Seventh The said convention which nomi
nated Uiiiiphy was not recogiil-'il : by tbe
plate nnd national convcullonH but that
ou the contrary the state orgunlz.i'lou rep
resented by this elector ( Mr. 1'iispi r ) mm
and now Is the duly accredited and icccg-
nlzed democratic party ot Nebnskn.
A similar protest. In all respects , Is flic. ' ,
by James C. Dahlmnn , chairman of the-
democratic state central committee , against
the purported certificate of nomination filed
by Michael J. Hughes , as nominee for con
gressman from the Third district. Secre

the "free silver republicans" have called a
state convention. An afternoon paper today
prints the formal call , issued by order of n
"conference , " directed to F. L. Rose , who
presided , for n convention to be held nt
Lincoln on Tuesday , October C , 189G , to
nomlnato a complete state ticket. The pre
amble to Mr. Rose's fuimlnatlon announces
that :
Wo , the republicans of the slnte ot Ne
braska , realllrm our allegiance to the
time-honored principled of our parly as
enunciated by John C. Fremont , Abraham
Lincoln and its IllUHtrlous founders , and
exemplified by the public llfo and utter
ances of James A. Garfleld , John A. Logan.
James G. Illatne and other Brent loaders ,
to the end that the great principles which
called for the grand old pnrty of freedom
and liberty shall not perish forever from
the face of the enrtli , and that chattel
slavery , having been abolished by our
party , a more Balling subserviency to the
moneyed plutocracy of foreign Millions ami
their tory allies on American soil , aided
find abetted by corporate greed , shall not
forever destroy a government of the people ,
for the people and by the people.
When questioned by a Dee representative
as to the strength of the bolters and probable
placeof convening tomorrow , Mr. Hose re
tired into his shell , and hail little to glv
out to the press. Ho did stnto , however
Hint there were 150 republicans nt the Lin
coin hotel caucus on Saturday , but wild
horses could not have dragged the name ot
a single bolter from the padlocked lips of
the chairman.

the popocrats invited W. O. Robinson of

cnco of the demo-pops who had nssomblcfl
confident that they would wltuctis the dis
comfiture of a sound money man "by Honest
John" ' arc now sad nnd have little to say
concerning the debate. Occasionally the re
mark Is dropped , that "tho old gentleman
has failed considerably of late. " The repub
licans arc enthusiastic over the meeting an.I
know of n number of votes made for honest

NEBRASKA CITY. Oct. S. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Ono of the most cnthuMaatlc dem
onstrations of the campaign was held at the/
opera house tonight , where an address was
delivered by Edward Uosewatcr , editor ot
The Omaha Hoe , nnd Hon. John C. Watson ,
candidate for state senator. The house wna
filled to overflowing and hundreds were
turned nway unable to gain admittance.
David Brown called the meeting to order anil
Introduced Mr. Watson. The speaker wn
at his best and delivered a short but splen
did address , replete with strong argument
and luti.r.spcrr.ed with hits of catchy humor ,
which kept his audience in continual laugh
ter and applause. Ills happy references to
the flrm adherence to a logical system of
finance by Orover Cleveland , Hourko Cock-
ran and J. Sterling Morton wcro greeted
with cheers , but when he referred to Mr.
Rosewnter as "ono of the foremost citizens
of Nebraska and on earnest and able cham
pion of liberty and sound motmy" the ap
plause was deafening , and it was some min
utes before the Kpcaker could proceed.
Mr. Rosewnter wns next 'Introduced ami
was given an ovation When ho arose to
speak. He biushcd aside as unimportant
all IKUICS except the question of finance/
and plunged Into a discussion of that sub
ject with such energy and ferveuco as to
elicit round after round or applause from
his hearers. lie reviewed carefully the
coinage of gold nnd silver ns money from
the beginning , following the history ot the
old Oriental countries , England and the
United States down to the present time.
The speaker ridiculed the theory of liorliiR
two standards of exchange codicil In a dif
ferent ratio fiom the relative commercial
value of the two metals and quoted from
the oldest and most widely credited writers
nn nuance to show that such an Idea was
rejected by them. All legislation In the
United States pertaining to the coinage ot
sliver and gold was thoroughly discussed
and the fallacy of the assertions of the
sllverltcs In regard to the "crime ot ' 73"
was clearly laid bare. Conclusive proof
was offered to show that silver won de
monetized In 1SG3 , and the speaker chal
lenged any ono to controvert the correct
ness of the statement , nnd "yet , " said the
speaker , "these Rip Van \\Unklcs of flnanco
are going about the country haranguing
the people about the secret , mysterious de
monetization of silver In 1873 , when In
reality the crime was committed twenty
years before. "
The disastrous effects of free silver
coinage upon the Interests of the farmer
nnd laboring man were gradually and
logically portrayed. The inconsistencies ot
Hryan's statement that falling prices arc
the result of the appreciation of gold wcro
exposed , and to show that gold has not ap
preciated , that prices nf commodities have
always been regulated by the inexorable
law of supply and demand , the speaker
called attention to the advance of 33 % par
cent In the prlro of cotton ID. the last thirty
days and a , IS-cont advance In the price ot
wheat In the last two weeks , while silver
has declined. The quantity of money In
circulation wns shown to be ample for com
mercial needs.
In conclusion the Breaker urged his audi
tors to vote for n protective system , which
will provide employment for the Idle labor
of Iho country nnd thus bring about a re
vival of the prosperous times which the
I'nited States enjoyed under wise and benefi
cent tariff legislation by the republican
party.
