A BIG SWINDLE A Gold-Bug Pamphlet Disguised as Silver. VERY CHEAP PLAY Bill Kenworthy Recommends It and Causes the Farmer to Distrust the Thing. Some weeks ago Uncle Bill Kenworthy, whose pure, warm heart beats in sympathy with humanity, gave F. J. Marshall of Oskaloosa a o >py of an innocent looking pamphlet inscribed as follows: FACTS ABOUT THE SILVER QUESTION AND DOW PBIOES. NON-PARTISAN VIEW. Silver Coinage of the United States as Shown by tho Official Report. BY JOHN B. CONNER, OP THU ‘INDIANA FABMBR," INDI ANATOLI*. Mr. Marshall was not long iu discovering its true character a studied argument for the gold standard, made to order regardless of truth—and he determined to Hn 1 out who was responsible for its circulation. Consequently he addressed a letter to tho author and received the following reply: Indianapolis, Ind., .T uly 30/96. Mr. F. /. Marshall, OskaloosA, lowa, Dear Sir: lam in receiptof your ' favor of the 29th askin'* for cop... ies of “Facts,” a copy of which is herewith enclosed. Tlv republican state central committee here has issued 300,000 copies for state usfc ana it is reported as the most effective publication issued. 1 understand that some other states are now about issuing editions oi. it and I suggest that you send one of the enclosed to the chairman of your state oentral committee with the suggestion to issue an ed.iion for state use. ndiana is sure to' give a big republican majority. Very sincerely yours, John B. Oonneb. Mr. Conner gives the whole thing away. He got the thing up to sell to state oentral committees and is meeting with some sucoess. It is i ot at all likely Mr. Marshall will urge the lowa state committee to order a special edition, even if Mr. Conner does believt it is the “most effective publication issued/ Mr. Marshall is not on that side of the fence this ye»r and is not particularly interested in attempting to deceive voters or in hornswoggling the farmers. The Times will send Mr. Conner a marked copy of this issue—as well as several Indiana silver papers— and hopes that his prediction as to the result of the election in that state will prove as unrelia* ble as his pamplet.— Oskoloosa (lowa)Times. Po it was Uncle Bill}’ brought Conner’s “Faots’V) to this place. i?rank Warren had charge of th ir distubution.
