McKINLEY IN 1890, “Commits® ON Ways Ane Means, ‘•House okKepresentatives. “Washington, O. C., September. 17, , . 1890. ••Hon, E S. Perkins, Weyinounh, Ohio.—Dear Sir: I have been so busy for the past three weeks that it has been impossible for me to g’ve any attention to matters in the district, which fact I believe my iru iids will appreciate. 1 have only been waiting tor a moment s time that. I might answer two or three letters heretofore received from gentle men in Medina county in relation to my position on the silver and other questions “I have always been in favor of the •free and unlimited coinage of the silver product of the 1 'cited States, and have so voted on at least, two occasions during the time I have been in public life. I was not willing to extend this coinage to the silver of the world and open our mints to them without a charge; as proposed by gentlemen on the floor of the house My purpose was to secure immediate legislation that would credit and dignify our silver coin. . “I believe the law which we enacted this session will accomplish that result. It utilizes every dollar’s worth of the silver product of the United States and even more.. The value of that legislation has already been apparent in the enhanced value given tq'silver. ••You may remember, as indicating my position on this subject, that I vuti dto pass suffrage. 1 seek to know exactly what they are. Very truly, Wm McKinley. Jr.” FROM STEELE. The question of free silver was exhaustively ventilated to a full house on the evening of October 3. by the Hon. J T. Kelley and J. T. France. Good order and the unanimity of the cheering for W. J . Bryan was an evidence of a free silver crowd. The issues of the campaign were logically and eloquently discussed. Blue Creek citizens are as they should be most highly elated over having furnished to the world a man of such rare oratorical abilities as J. T. France. Johnny does not only work at the appointments, but his highly social turn of mind has broncht him the acquaintance of every man, woman and child throughout the county, and on bis way to hteele he gave his cushioned seat, in hi’ buggy m exchange for

a seat on an old larm road wagon. It was hard on Johnny, but the old farmer tumbled to the invincible and will vote for Bryan We were honored with the piesence of G M. France of Decatur. Charley didn't go to sleep. He sat, at right angles with an aged enthusiastic silveritejw ho apparently took sdasmodic spells of clapping his hands, cheering stamping bis* feet and would elbow Charley by Kicking him on the shins with No 11 sloggies. Charley’s wotiTiT writhe, wince and twist, he would try to look wise and laugh, bn* a close ob. server could hardly tell whether it was a laugh <>r a cry We think there are at least twenty marks on Charley’s shins that ain’t ilea bites, but in short, we . had the best turnout, the best order and the best meeting of this season. Send the news to Hanna . , « Hoholiilloiih. The following resolution was unanimously adopted ‘by Sim Henry Post, No. 63, department of Indiana, G A. R , at its regular meeting. August 29. 1896, upon the death of comrad Martin. Whereas, it has pleased our Superior Divine Commander to remove from our midst our worthy comrade. James (’ Martin, late of company C 47 Ohio Vol. Infantry and in view of the loss we have sustained by the death of comrade Marlin, and thmstill greater loss sustained by those more near and dear to him theres >re be it Resolved: By Sam Henry Post No. 63, department of Indiana, G. A. R . that we bow in humble submission to the will of our Superior Divine Commander. but wp do no less mourn the loss of our worthy comrade in arms. He was loyal to bis country in its hour of peril, and as a soldier, he faithfully discharged his duty; in the day of battle he did not fal ref. and was ever true to his comrades and the flag of his country . Be it further Resolved: That the heartfelt sym pathy of the comrades of Sam Henry Post, be extended to the family of our deceased comrade and that our post hall be draped in mourning in his memory for the space of thirty (30) days and that a copy of these resolutions be sent to his family and to each of the county papers tor publication.

C. F. McNutt in Terre Haute. Standard. We are fallen on strange times; times that are like sure enough to try men’s souls before .we see the end of the business. Only the other day a prominent person here- —prominent, that is, in what we name the money element —one of the national banker species, openly made boast that the goldocracy propose to buy a sufficiency of votes to turn the silver tide. And we are to understand, too; that the person did not whisper the threat as a thing too infamous to breathe ? Jalou(l, but-jMafte tfe 01R, as one speaks of pufehasiug sfieep or horned cattle. To be sure no one supposed this manto have any scruples sufficient to restrain him from doing the wicked thing his threat contemplates. He long sent his conscience on a vacation, and then finding that for any business he has to do in this world, he had no need for it, continued to extend its leave of absence until at last he does not even know whither the poor thing has journeyed: though we as a preacher of righteousness take this, occasion to warn him that he will be confronted by and by, by this castaway, and that it will have it out with him, in a Forum and Presence, the highest in this universe.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE ' FOR FREE SILVER.; ( " 1 Read These Arguments; If They Were Good Then They’re Good Now, Besides Making “Mighty Interesting Reading Matter,” ‘ ~<j" 1 A GREAT REPUBLICAN AUTHpRITY 1 The purchasing power of legal tender ■ silver coin furnishes the only proper test. The values of gold or silver as bullion are not pertinent to the issue, - whether the two metals, as legal tender, can be maintained.—Chicago Tribune, Jan. 9, 1878. The prime object of remonetizing silver is to add to the solid, substantial, intrinsic stock of'the country. There be too much hard money—ready money—in circulation: Such an inflation is stimulating and invigorating. It is at oneg a sign and prop of national and commercial prosperity. The simple remonetization of the silver dollar, with proper provisions for its coinage, will contribute a steady stream to the money resources of the United States. —Chicago Tribune, Jan 23, 1878. The theory that a remonetization of the silver dollar demands that the weight of i!iat dollar be increased to correspond to the present London bullion value of silver as measured by “cor-; nered” gold, is simply absurd. It is in plain defiance of the experience of all the rest of the world —even With our own experience before the silver dollar was demon -tized —which teaches that . 151 bounces of silver to 1 ounce of gold I. is the proper basis -for equalizing the! money value of the two metals. —Chicago Tribune, Jan. 8, 1878. i A correspondent asks us why we-give so marked ■: preference to the silver dollar of 371*4 grains of pure silver, and reject the proposed “Christiancy dollar, ’ or the “Blaine dollar,” or. the trade dollar. We shall not undertake now to repeat or restate all of them. But the first reason is that the dollar of 371 grains pure silver has been the monetary standard or unit of value in this country from, 1792 until 1873, a period of 81 years. It is the ancient, unchangeable dollar of that country.—Chicago Tribune, Feb. 11, 1878. In 1873-4, as it was two years and more later discovered, the coinage of this Sil-veE-dollaF-wasF-forbidden, and silver dollars were ilenidiietized by law. This act, which was done secretly and stealthily, to the profound ignorance of those who voted, for it,, and of the president who approved ' it, had, without the knowledge of the country, removed one of the landmarks of the government; and, under cover of darkness, abolished the constitutional dollar, and had arbitrarily, and to the immense injury of 1 the p.ionie. added heavily to.evqj’y form

:i or tnaeDtetinosß, pnotic ana private.— t Chicago Tribune, Feb. 23, 1878. s As the London Times has said, the ■ remonetization of the silver dollar i would equalize the values of silver and I gold coin: and at the rate of 16 to 1 the American silver dollar would soon prove according to past experience, to be com--1 paratively too heavy, and ought to be reduced to the European standard of 15! a I to I.—Chicago Tribune, Jan. 8, 1878. > What is a xvhole dollar? Who says i t hat a part of a dollar should be a wholi dollar, or wants it to be? Four hundred ami twelve and a half grains of silver is a whole dollar, and was so fixed by law in 1792. It never was anything else, i under tht) law. Whether at present that weiirht of unlegal tender silver is worth as much as a gold dollar of 25 8-11 grains in London, no one cares. Four hundred ana twelve and a half grains of silver coined and made legal tendei is just as much a dollar as the gold dollar. —Chicago Tribune, Jan, 18, 1878. If the government Ims been paying gold interest, it had that right by origi mil agreement, and it may hereaftei I pay silver interest by the same right The option is m the government, ano it has never been surrendered andnevei ! will be. How often must this be re- | peated before the goldites will consent Ito accept the fact? We have had enough Sb.ylock talk about “public credit,” “good faith,” “honor,” underi standings,” “expectations” and (‘suppopositions.” The surest way to kill “public credit, good faith and honor,” is t< smash down the price of property, paralyze business, pauperize labor, bankrupt enterprise and drive the people into poverty ami despair; and that is pre cisely the role the gold yelpers are play ing.—Chicago Tribune, Jan. 16, 1878. $5.00 Lancaster, Ohio and Return.
