Perkins, Weytnounh, 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 ir the district, wbigh fact I believe my Im nds will appreciate. 1 have only been waiting tor a'moment s time that. 1 might answer two or three letters heretofore received from gentle men in Medina county in relation to mv position on rhe silver and other questions "I have always been in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of the silver product of the United States, and have so voted on at least two occasions during the time I have been in public life. 1 was Sot willing t 6 exteiur .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 belieye the law which we enacted this session will accomplish, lliat result. It utilizes every dollar’s ’Worth of the silver product of the United States and even mure. The value of that legislation has already been apparent in the enhanced value given to silver. “ You may remember, as indicating my position on this subject, that 1 voted to pass suffrage. 1 seek to know exactly what they are. Verv truly; Wsi McKinley, •Jr?” from STEELE. The question of free silver was exhaustively ventilated to a full house on tht evehing pt October 3. by the Hon. J. T. Kelley *and J. T. France. Good order and the unanimity of the cheering for AV. J. Bryan was ar, 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 doek not only work at the appointments, but his highly social turn of mind has brought him the acquaintance of every man. woman •and child throughout the county, and on bis way to bteele he gave, his cushioned seat in hi’ buggy in exchange for

a seat on an old 1 arm road wagon. 11. was hard on Johnny, but the old farmer tumbled to the invincible ami will vote for Bryan We were honored with the presence of C. M- France of Decatur. Charley didn't goto sleep. He sat at right angles with an aged enthusiastic silverite.who apparently took sdasmod’ic spells of clapping his hands, cheering, stamping his feet and would elbow Charley bf Ricking him on the shins with No llsloggies. Charley’s would writhe, wince and twist, lie would try to look wise and laugh, but a close ob server could hardly tell whether it was a laugh or a cry We think there are at le>st twenty marks on Charley’s shins that ain’t flea bites, but. in short, we had the best turnout, the best order and the best meet ing of this season.

B. w, Shoi.ty. A J. Teeple, David Layman ONE BANKER'S OPEN BOAST Declares That Enough Votes Will Be Bought to Fasten Upon,Us the Gold Conspiracy. M’NUTT’S SCATHING REJOINDER. Hon. 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 per'son 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 thiii£ too infamous to breathe aloud, but spoke it out as one speaks of purchasing sheep or horned cattle. To be sure 110 one supposed this man to have any scruples sufficient to restrain him from doing the wicked thing his threat contemplates: He long since 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 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, bv this castaway, and that it will have it out with him. in a Forum and Presence, the highest in this universe. But now Im knows only that he is better oil without it. •** * < But one would think that surely his fears might suffice to suppress any open boast, of a scheme every step in the" consummation of which involves the COMMISSION OF A FELONY. And yet, such has been the practice j •of the rich and rascally of all ages. First they impoverish, then seek to corrupt the people. ' < L,• * * * But a bribe won’t last. It serves,] when it'serves at all, the single occa-j sion only. It must bmrepeated as often as elections recur, and in the long run must under every possible law, human and Divine, prove a poor and ever poorer investment; even)were there no constable to take into the account, no penitentiary doors creaking within 'plant hearing of the briber. * * * Or do these boasting bribers think that if they can but win this fight they will so fasten their scheme upon us , there will I • no help for it. ■No help?. None, Messieurs, say yoni Then the-law of gravitation and other God-fixed’laws are not fixed laws at all, but will yield to pressure exerted from right, plutocratic quarters? Don’t you believe it, on your lives! * * * It was a fine, stately and what they called— “noble” dame of the reign of Louis XV who consoled the tearful friends of a notably wicked courtier 11,c> ngonranna that

For, - ol 1 course, no-buying in such case .can by any possibility take place unless ther. be a sale. There must be two to even such a vile bargain, us there must be, tc all bargains. Pottage is hard to come by, to bestir e, these strange, new days; not that it is so scarce, for all marts are full of it, all storehouses bursting with it, ami cheaper than pottage was ever before known, if we but had the right cur- 1 rency wherewith to buy it. But Bir i i- ' rights! American birthrights bought ' at such price as never were birthrights ■ before under the skies; have these fallen so cheap that Shylook and his emissaries I can boast their ability to buy them as they would swine in market overt? * * * Oh! American men? Are.you then nc longer men at all. but only cattle? Oi is this banker’s boast a burning, less libel on you? We are poor, we of the commonalty poorer than Lazarus, many of us—having no dog, even, as he had, to lick 0111 sores. But. .in God’s name, are we sc poor? So poor that we are willing tc I sell ourselves and our children into sucl: | bondage as this audacious, shameless boaster promises us? If we shall do thii thing God is merciful. He will pity our children, but he is just, too, ano will damn us! - But, Sir Banker, grant you and you. fellow conspirators can buy enough o 1 the wretched whom your infernal poll 1 , cies have made so, to balk this ifligWty ' • movement for restoration — and yot i were powerful enough the other day tc ' coerce a majority of the federal supreim ( court to overrule the precedents of lOt ' f years and so exempt yon and your kim -I < from as righteous a tax as was ever laic ( by human law —grant you can and wil | ‘ corrupt and bulldoze enough voters t< ‘1 carry your scheme of universal spolia < tion, then what?

( CHICAGO TRIBUNE I i FOR FREE SILVER.; - 6 Read These Arguments; If They Were Good Then They’re Good Now, Besides Making “Mighty Interesting; Reading < Matter.” 1 I A GREAT REPUBLICAN AUTHORITY ‘ The purchasing power of legal tender ■’ silver coin furnishes the only proper 1 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. 1 v The prime object of remonetizing sil- 1 ver is to add to the solid, substantial, : | intrinsic stock of’the country. There can’t be too much hard money— ' ready money—in circulation. Such an i inflation is stimulating and invigorating. It is at once a sign and prop of I • national and commercial pros]K,ldty. J The simple remonetization of the silver i dollar, with proper provisions for its, coinage, will contribute a steady stream 1 to the money resources of the United ■ States. —Chicago Tribune, Jan 23, 1878. | The theory that a remonetization ot: the silver dollar demands that the weight of 'hat dollar be increased to to the present London bullion vplue of silver as measuredby “cor- j 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 < 15J'2 ounces of silver 1 ounce of gold is the proper basis for equalizing the money value of the two metals.—Chicago Tribune, Jan. 8. 1878. 1 A correspondent asks us why we give I so marked : preference to the silver dol- . : lar of 37.1 1 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 re- ■ peat or restate all' of them. But the first reason is that the dollar of 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, Fob. 11, 1878. In 1873-4, as it was two years and more later discovered, the coinage of this silver dollar was forbidden,“and silver dollars were demonetized by law. This' act. which was done secretly and stealthily, to the profound ignorance of those 1 who voter! for rt, and of the president who approved it. had, without the knowledge of the country, removed one of the landmarks of tfie government; and, under cover of darkness, abolished 1 the constitutional dollar, and had arbitrarily, and to the immense injury of ’' the pdonie. adued Heavily to.evqjy form

or tnaeoreaness, puono ana private.— Chicago Tribune, Feb. 23, 1878. As the London Timos has said, the remonetisation of the silver dollar would equalize the values of silver and gold coin: and at the rate of 16 to 1 the American silver dollar would soon prove according to past experience, to be comparatively too heavy, and ought to be reduced to the European standard of Is\, to I.—Chicago Tribune, Jan. 8, 1878. What is a whole dollar? Who says that a part of a dollar should be a whole dollar, or wants it to be? Four hundred 1 and twelve and a half grains of silver is a whole dollar, and was so fixed by law 1 iif 1792. If- never was anything else, under the law. Whether at present that weight of unlegal tender silver is worth as much as a gold dollar of 25 8-l( grains in London, no one cares. Four hundred and 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 has been paying gold interest, it had that right by original agreement) and it may hereaftei 1 pay silver interest by the same right The option is in the government, uno it has never been surrendered andnevei I will be. How often must this be repeated before the goldites will consent I to accept the fact? We have had enough Shylock talk about “public credit,” “good faith,” “honor,” understandings,” “expectations” and "jjjippopositions.” The surest way to kill “public credit, good faith and honor,” is tc smash down the price of property, paralyze ‘business, pauperize labor, bankrupt enterprise and drive the people into poverty and 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.
