Oct. 11 Archbishop Ireland , In respnnto to the written request of twenty-seven business men of this state , who nro of all political oplulous , gave the follow lug statement ( addressed to them ) to the Amoclited press : "I am not unwilling In the crisis through which the country Is now passing to speak for the Integrity of the nation , for social order , for the prosperity of Iho people , for the honor of America and the per manency of free Institutions. I am a citi zen of the country , concerned In all the Interests of the nation , -uibjcct to all the responsibilities of citizenship. To bo silent when words of mlno may be of some profit to the people would bo cowardice , would bo crime. I am not unmindful of the objection made against the churchman speaking at any tlmo on matters which have entered tl'o arena ot politics , lest his Influence ns a teacher ot religion seem to bo used to promote ths Intel csts of a political part > I might reply that there are occasions when a political platform mem ? elNaster to the counir ) , when poll * tics are closely connected with morals or religion , and that on those occasions the churchman must bo the patnot without allowing n moment's thdught to considera tions of c\pcdlcncv ami must tike In hand the moral or religious Issue , even though It ho vested In the garment of politics. "Hut In the present Instance , I seek nn CACUSO of this Kind ; I speak entirely as the cltbcn , without warrant from ml ecclesiastical position "Deep as niy convictions are , I hold In all duo respect iny fellow citizens who hold convictions nt variance with my own.

I btand by the platform and the presidential candidate of the icpub- lleai convention at St. Louis. I am op posed to the platform and the presidential camlldtto of the1 democratic convention Jt Chicagu. COUNTRY IS IN PERIL "Tho da > s of the civil war excepted , at no tlmo elld so grcit a peril threaten the country as that which ls Involved In the I olltleal campaign of today. The question of free and unlimited coinage ot silver Is put In the foreground The question has Its Importance ; but It Is of a minor Import ance In presence of other questions which are brought tuto lssue. , Tl o n o e j cat vvh eh hud Its expression In the Chicago conven tion and which steks by menus of popular suffrage to t'nthrune Itself In the capltol of the nation , la In Us logical effect against the United States. It Is secession , the se cession of IfiOl wjlileh our soldiers believed they had consigned to eternal death at Ap- pomatox , but which demands again recogni tion from the' American people. This declara tion In the 'Chfcaro platform has nnd can hnvo no other mcanlnc 'Wo denounce arbi trary Idtcrf tenco by fedeial authorities In local affairs as a violation of the constitu tion of the United States , and a crime against the free Institutions' Tr-e words point to the act of Orovcr Cleveland send ing United States troops to protect na tional property and enforce national law ? during the Chicago riots In 1S91. In those words there1 is ( he old secession doctrine that states are Independent of the national government nt Washiacton There Is the annullmcnt of the union There Is notice served upon the nag of America that outside - side the District of Columbia It Is without power of self-assertion or self defense The president of the United States Is told to cu- force national laws and national property ho cannot march his troops Into any state without the authorization of the governor of that stitc. "Ono of the chief speakers of the conven tion at Chicago understood Iho Eignlticancu of the convention , and voiced Its spirit 'I como from a state- which was the home of secession , ' said Sen.-tor Tlllman of South Carolina. 'I say , ' he continued. 'It Is a sec tional Issue and It will prevail ' And fitting was It that the spoiker voicing the spirit of the Chicago convention should be the rep resentative of South Carolina Thrice now hrs South Carolina spoken for secession v/nen It passed lu 1S32 the nullification ordi nance , when In 1SC1 It fired on Fort Sum- tor , when In 1895 It cries out 'A sectional Issue and It will prevail. ' MEANS MOB RUI.R. "Tho platform of the Chicago convention threatens the country with destruction of social order , with lawlessness and anarchy The personification cf law and social order In America la our courts , and the promise of safety to our free Institutions Is thr prompt obedience of the people to thcs courts And now the courts are to be shorn of their power , nnd shorn of It In favor o1 moba , bent on rioting and the destruction cf property. " 'Wo especially object , ' sayt the Chicago platform , 'to government by Injunction , OF a new and highly dangerous form of oppres slon ' Here leference is made to the action of the courts during the Ctlcago riots , with out which action there Is no calculating how muc.li ruin should have como to the city The palladium of American liberties Is the aupreme court at Washington , the counterpart of which In majesty and povvei to enforce absolute Justice does not exist among the nations of Christendom Hut ar far as It Is possible to human Ingenuity , out sldo of partisan politics Independent cf all political Influences , through their life tenure uro of olHce- the Judgca of this court ruli congress and president , states and nation and expound the law In all Its Inflexlblllt } no matter who or what must yield to It And now a convention sprain of the supicme court 'as It may be hereafter constituted.

LAUGHERS WILL SUITER MOST "I am absolutely convinced that the laborIng - Ing classes will suffer the most of all from free silver coinage And jtt the laboring clessce are those that are the most urgently appealed to In this free sliver movement A man who talks against free silver Is put down at once as an enemy of the 'common people' Well , for my part , I nm willing to bo called an enemy of the working classes , of 'tlio common people , ' If I am In leallty advising them for their good nnd serving their true Interests Those above all others in the land who ehould today bo on their guard against the Oliver move ment are the laborers of America "Uut will not the farmers bo benefited' Will they not iccelvo higher prices for their pioduets' Mav.be. a higher prlec but not higher value Of what use Is It to have n dollar Instead of a half dollar If the dollar can purchase no moro than the half dollar' And will fanners re-celvo oven nominally n much higher price than they do now 1 The best market of the farmer's product Is his own country.

And for tlioeo the question remains It It honest ?
